corrsspondsnce of The Tribune,
| don't know of much transplring out OF Int
,n,ron current of affairs that think would oe
Of interest except what is doing for Education
and Henry Clay
The aspect of the political horizon IS e'ciy
day frightening, since it is settled that an ouieN
is to be the candidate in opposition to Clay esel
| shadow of doubt as to the result IN oils s'a'0
has vanished Indeed the Locos themselves nave
no kind of confidence in carrying the ota'e
The popular tide is fairly set IN favor Oh Marry
Of the West, and combination OF circumstances
/ is every dav swelling and hurrylng 1t on-no
n,an or set of men has strength enough to turn
i deep.rooted aversion to Loco-Foco policy
prevails in the minds of the intelligent of all
parties, cherished and strengthened by the weak
ness, pusilanimity and corruption of the State gov
eminent The People look upon the elimination
and recrimination now going on between the
Executive and Legislature, and the everyday de-
velopments of fraud, corruption and bribery
on the part Of both with as much indifference
as though it were folly to expect any thing
better from that source, and quiet composure
resulting from the confidence in their strength
through the baot-box to correct the evil, un-
less / am much mistaken in the expression
of popular feeling on the subject, they will
correct it with vengeance at the polls next
fall In truth, the history of Pennsylvania LIE
| slation for the last few years presents specta.
! Gle of mercenary mcanness and bribery unequaled
| in the annals of the country. The faces OF the
I! Locos are as long as plke-staff. They are
nearly all in favor Of Col. Johnson, as the can
didate for the next Presidency, and so declare
| themselves in all their popular meetings, but a
resolution is generally lugged IN and passed, SUD
silentio, to the effect that Martin Van Buren, is
Democrat, and as such If ne is nominated 1t is
incumbent upon the True-blues to go h'm.
here, who openly declare their opposition to Van.
Among the Wings, the scenes of l840 are en-.
acting over again, the same unanimity as to the
principles to be contended for and
| to the welfare of the country, the same conf
dence in the invincible strength of their can
didate prevail,-and if any thing you may look
for a more enthusiastic political canvass. we
shall make " a long pull, strong pull, and pull
altogether" for the banner.
Reports from the neighboring sections of Ohio
indicate the same state of things there A gen.
tlenan at Cuyahoga Falls in a private letter to a
friend in this place writes as follows: The
political atmosphere is becoming rife with excite
ment, and the indications are strong that the
scenes of 1910 are to be enacted over again with
all the enthusiasm that political strife brings with
it. From what little can see and hear should
think that Mr.. Clay's prospects are Frightening
every day. His friends in this region are up and
ready for action
We shall have new Wing Press in operation
here in few days. Please add two numbers of
the Weekly Tribune to the package sent TO this
place, for which you have the money enclosed.
Allegheny College is likely to be endowed
soon upon somewhat novel plan-an idea sug
gested, perhaps from the Industrial Associations
| of the day. 1t may be termed IN lmmltatlon an
Educational Association. 1t proposes to raise
| 100000, the interest Of which at moderate
compensation will support a sufficient number Of
Professors and Tutors to supply the youth OF the
country around with education free of Tuition.
A company is Incorporated under name and seal
with capital to the amount above stated, and
capable of being increased indefinitely. The
stock is divided into shares of S25, transferable
and emitting the holder to perpetual scholarship
in the institution for each share The stock sells
well, and some 600 have already been sub
scribed. The institution is TO have preparatory
Department distinct from the College proper for
such as desire a good practical common cduca-
ton without pursuing the full collegiate course
of studies. The whole affair is in the hands of
the Methodists, who you know are accustomed
to economize MEANS and make little money 90
a great ways in accomplishing their benevolent
purposes. There IS at present every prospect Of
| success. Yours, &c. F.
TO THE TRAVELLING PUBLIC.
