The address Of President LABAREE. is spo-
ken of by all who head it, in terms of the
most unqualified appreciation. In eloquence,
patriotism, and cogent reasoning.it will well
compare with any production that has been
delivered since the 4th of July, l776. 1t is
true that il did not contain quite so many
phi. asses on ''the glory ofIndependence," the
''splcndor of freedom.'' &c as many that
we have heard, but It's sentiments were truly
American throughout. The speaker asked
whether it was not best TO pause in our Ca
reer of glory, and inquire as TO the evils
which are sapping the foundation of the re-
public He alluded to the dangerous ten
dcncy of wealth, land its indiu'duaf influence
on the physical and intellectual powers of
the People. He spoke Of the faculties and
beauties Of the mind, and delineated at
length, the great importance and advanta-
ges of Education, both in a National and
individual point of view. The address con-
tanned many classical illusions, and appro'
propriate references were made TO decline
and fall of ancient nations. The Orator
referred to the glorious equality of our con
dtion, and spoke of cur most distinguished
statesman, who from the workshop, the
field and the plough. had reached the high
est stations in the republic. He finished
his address by most beautiful peroration-
by eloquently complimenting the Empire
Stately abiding 10 her Common School
system--to the influence of her statsmen--
to her pre- eminent glory, and to her i'm
mense territory dotted by Internal Improve
ments. He said in conclusion-"You our
neighbors at the south, admire the splendor
of the Aurora Borealis, and may this insti-
tuition 1.-THE Academy be emblamatical of
those hghts--may it long stand as a bacon
light on the frontier posts of this republic
Such as near as our memory serves, was
the conclusion of this address. More than
an hour and half was occupied in its de-
livery, and was listened to with the most
profound attention by crowded and intel
ligent audience. We hope that this ad
dress will be published, as it is production
which will do honor TO American Litcra-
ture.

THE WINGS IN CONGRESS.

As complaint has occasionly been made

Loco FoCoIsM IN THE CITY OF New.

and county of New York, presented the
gross abuse on the part Of the Alderman,
Police Magistrates, and others in dischalg g.
ing and otherwise letting out prisoners from
Blackwell's Island, for the purpose of get
ting their votes. The presentment, which
is dated July 2, 1912. truly calls this an e.
vii of great magnitude, and shows that 7
prisoners were ''unlawfuAy discharged, y

RHODE IsLAND.-The utterly baseless
falsehoods manufactured by few Jacobn
journals of this City and Boston, narrating
horrible crueties perpetrateG by the Gov
eminent in that Stale, are disgrace TO the
press. All the stories of Doris men dying
in prison, woman stabbed for defending
her husband, a milliner's shop robbed, &c.
&c, are the most unmitigated untruths, for
which there is no color fpaliation. Moth
ing like them, except indignant contradIc-
lions, has appeared in any Rhode Island
paper. They are fabricated by desperate
villains, who would fain in any manner dis
tract attention from the infamy of their
conduct in stirring up a civil war in neigh
boring State when there was in fact no
question left at issue between the late ad-
verse parties.
The Sun. Era & Co. continue their slang
about the Charter party 'Landholders,

himself the respon sibilily OF bringing ruin and

CONGREsS-ITs INDUSTRY.

Much has been said, latterly. in various
quarters, about the industry of Congress,
and not few have passed severe censares
upon that body for its alleged inatteniion to
the public business and lis lEetlicicncy. We
have considered these censures, especially
on the part of small portion of the Wing
press, as unduly harsh and severe. From
the Loco Foco press nothing else was to be
expected. The following statement sets
this matter in just light.
A Washington correspondent Of the \.
Y. American, contends that the present
Congress- is entitled TO great credit for ill.,
dusiry. He gives the following statement
Of business done during the long Session OF
the 26th Congress:
400 bills reported up TO June oath.
POP :. passed the House ''
81 Senate bills passed. ''
Gig printed Reports OF Committees.
Statement of business done during the
long Session of the 18th Congress
5l4 bills reported up to June oath.
222 passed the House g
33 Senate bills passed the House.
s5I printed Reports Of Committees.
He adds:
"In quaAty,the printed reports of The pres
ent House surpass those of preceding Houses
even more than in quantity and number. L
need but refer you to such as those of the
Committees of Nays and Means, Manuiac'
lures, Commerce, Pubic Expenditures, Rev
oiutionaay Claims, Foreign Affairs, Claims,
&c. All these are without a parallel IN
preceding Houses, for extent Of research
and investigation, calculation, compilation,
study and composition. This comparative
view of legislative business is an authentic
statement. drawn up at my request IN the
office of the Clerk of the House of Repre-
sentatives, where it was made up on the
26th of June, by the principal Clerk, by
careful examination of records"
When it is recolected that tine above ex-
tent of public business has been transacted
in spite of the obstacles and delays interpo-
sed by the Loco Foco faction in Congress,
it must be conceded that the Wings have
worked well.
