A HARD CANDIDATE.--Mr. Frellng-
huysen is destined TO prove such one to
the Locofocos-for they can't find any
thing against him, and their inventions
can't coin any thing that sticks. Recent
ly, he was denounced as a Slare holder
but that would not hold: then an abolition.
ISL that too was at once disproved; and
now the Pennsylvania Democratic Union
denounces him as "a preacher who has
ceased 10 be fisher of men to become a
fisher of office" Now, we conceive Of
worse callings than that of preacher
though Of none worse than such a poiti-
cal preacher, for instance, as Mr.. Senator
Coqui,t of Georgia, who, elected as a
Wing TO Congress, turned Locofoco--and
who, in the Senate of the United States,
six days in the week, serves-not Heav-
en-, and on the seventh breaches the Cos
pei. But of Mr.. Fre'Inghuysen, IT must
be said, whether it make or mar his for
tune, that he never was a preacher, nor a
student even of theology-but was bred
to the law and has lived by the honorable
practice of the law; aud therefore, this
new accusation fails, as its precursors did
Verify, he is hard candidate. ~. 4.

!. X. POLK PRESENTED BY 4
GRAND JURY.


The Loco Foco papers, from the Argus
to the Pleban, have ,hown themselves in
to the most agoniziDg convulsions over
the fact that Henry CLAY has once Civ
en- bonds before a magistrate to protect
Mr.. w. II. KING from challenging him
to fight a duel. A man in this terrible
position, could not be fit candidate for
the Presidency. He had done nothing
whatever, he had 40 intention of doing
anything wrong; but he was bound over
for fear Mr.. King should challenge him.
Now what will the Argus and lis co-work-
ers say 10 the i1ct that their accidental
candidate, Mr.. James K. Polk, has been
presented as a nuisance by the Grand Ju-
ry of county in his own State! The cir.
cumstances were these. No one has ev.
er pretended that Mr.. Polk was modest
man, or at all backward in urging his own
claims to any Office in the gift OF the PEG.
pie. While Governor Of Tennesse, in
stead of attending to the duties of the Of
fee and acting under the restraint which
his position would have imposed apon him
| if he had been a man Of the slightest deli
cacv, he took occasion on the 4th Of July
1910, at a public meeting OF the Loco Flo,
cos at Knoxville, Tenn, TO nominate him
self for reelection, and he forthwith pro.
ceeded to open the campaign in person,
and bring to bear upon the issue all the
gubernatorial influence with which he was
invested. The people Of that section
thinking that this was not part OF the du-
ty for which he had been elected, express.
ed their censure very freely, and finally
the Grand Jury at the Sewer County
Court presented the Governor as follows.

THE WOMEN ALL FOR CLAY.

DR.. Francis BACON, in his eloquent
GRAFTON, before the Wings Of New York
thus beautifully alludes TO the predil4c-
tons Of the AMERICAN FAIR.
1t is almost universally conceded that
| for some reason the vast majority OF Amer.
lean women are Wings. The reason
may never have been given; but i is worth
seeking and easily found. II is in the
very nature OF women. They act from
feeling, impulse, and sentiment, where
men attempt to act from calculation, rea.
son and argument, and on al moral sub.
jects--all questions Of principle, their feel
ings add perceptions OF whst Is true and
pure and noble and beautiful ara more
just and certain, as they are more prompt
than the ambitious reasonings of men.
The God Of Nature has thus endowed
them above US, for the hottest ofpurposes.
The mother waits not TO reason OF her du-
ties. Her high instinct is divine wisdom,
most wisely given. Women too have
strong natural taste for the heroic 10 prln-
ciple, for the noble, the bold and gallant,
and an equally strong dlstaste for the
mean, the crafty, the cold and calculating
We owe much Of that female influence, no
doubt, TO the personal qualities our lead
er. His high toned feeling, his iervour,
frankness and courage are the traits they
most seek and admire in men. SILL, 1t is
to our principles and action also that their
preferences are rendered. So was it with
the mothers and wives aad daughters of
the Revolution. So must it be with those
Of our time. We welcome them then
with ell our hearts. We honor their high
perception OF the moral sublime in our
cause. We give them praise. Our en-.
terprise would not be complete in its beau.
~ and success without their aid, their gen.
lie winning influences here, and 10 the
dominion Of the home and the firesde-
Just as our proud choral anthems would
lack perfect harmony without the soften.
ing melody OF their voices.
And therefore, wives, and mothers and
daughters of enlightened ireemen, we re.
oice in your presence as an evidence OF
your appreciation Of whatsoever things
are honest, pure and good report, as
touching manifestation of that moral sense
dviner than cold reason, by which you
look to the hopes and joys Of that coming
age which is committed to your care.
That holy maternal love which bears that
object of its creation 10 such contlEual
anxious watchfulness, and will not leave
it when its infancy ceases, but clings to i,
unchanging through life and to death and
beyond death; follows it over the Earth
and up to Heaven, and bears it near to
God-that same love n.tinctively abhors
the public evils of the age, and instinct.
lively promotes the influences which will
avert these evils from that offspring.
Although the father may forget this duty,
the mother will not; and she may make
the father remember it.
Therefore, lovely and true and faithful /!
we are glad in the Iigh, Of countenances;
and from full hearts we send you our
shouts Of welcome.

VIRGINIA INSTITUTION.

We are indebted to J. G.. Fulton, Esq. one of
the delegates of this county in the General AS
semby, for copy Of the Fifth Annual Report of
the Board Of Visitors Of The Virginia Institution
for the education of the Deaf and Dumb and of
the Blind, made to the President and Directors of
the Literary Fund, and transmitted by them to
the House of Delegates, ard ordered by that body
to be printed.
The Report represents the general condition of
the institution as prosperous. In the Mute de.
Parment there are 25 pupils-IG males and fc-
males. In the Blind department there were 27
pupils 1t the close Of the last session, seven of
whom have left; and three have since been admit
ted, and three more are expected. or those now
in the institution II are males, and 9 females.
The Visitors state that from the examinations
they have been enabled TO make, from time 20
time, they believe tina; the teachers have been as
siduous in the discharge of their duties, and that
the advancement Of the pupils in knowledge has
been such as to satisfy the most sdDgune cxpec-
tatons. They have, however, been compe He'd to
encounter many difficulties from the want of suit
able accommodations, in consequence of the un-
finished condition Of the buildings designed for
their Tie schools are still kept, and the
scholars ana officers boarded in old and inconve-
Dient buildings, in many respects unsuited to such
purposes. TIE Visitors, therefore, again ask for
an adequate appropriation to complete the build
ings. The sum Of $25 900 is estimated to be suf
fieient for this purpose; and we pleased to see
that the President and Directors Of the Literary
Fund recommend the application to the favorable
consideration Of the Legislature.
The Visitors suggest the policy Of comforting
authority upon the County Courts 10 levy upon
the ttliabes of their respective counties sum Of
money not exceeding $3.50 for each INDECENT deaf
mute and blind person of good capacity, within
their limits, between the ages of 10 and 5 years,
for their supper; and education at the Institution.
This system, it is understood, prevails in several
Of the Northern States, and recommends itself
particularly for its equal operation. Under the
present system, it may happen that one county
may have half dozen INDECENT pupils, whilst
