COM. STEWART ON ANNEXATION.
Com. Stewart publishes Letter IN tho
Globe Of Saturday, to Mr.. J. Thompson, a
Member of Congress and Delegate to the
Baltimore Convention, in which he says:
Assume that there exists no constitutional
objection to Texas being incorporated with
our Union. Tha. question appears to b
be set at rest since our acquisition Of Lou.
isiana ard Florida, and the abundant, and,
as have supposed, satisfactory discussion
of it, to which all have access. will at
least venture to say that they have satisfied
my mind.
Passing, then, TO he general question,
the reasons are SO humorous, cogent, power
full, and urgent, both on the score Of policy
and humanity, for making Texas part Of
the Union, and have so strong bearing
upon our national industry, revenues, pros>
perity, and power, that have not been
able to refuse the assent Of my judgment TO
them.

MIDDLEBURY FEMALE SEMI
NNpN


The regular examination at the close of
the Winter quarter Of this institution, was
held on Tuesday of last week. The exer-
cises were such as to sustain the unwavering
confidence of its friends, and TO attest the
business Of the reputation Of its teachers.
The examinations were minute, as if design
ed fairly as tests of fai;hfulness in study rath-
er than for display, and, almost universally so
far as We had opportunity of Witnessing,
which was only in the afternoon, this test was
creditably met. The examinations in Euclid
and Arilhnetick-though these accurate stu
dies arc known now 20 be pee uliarly the
fields of successful female scholarship-de-
serve TO be parlicularized, as exhibiting
qualifications for the seYerer species of study
which deserve to be cherished and encoura-
ged. In Buffers Analogy, Waylaud's Moral
Science and Paley's Natural Theology, the
principles Of these authors seemed pc
culiarly 10 have been famil;arized and
to have become part of the pupils own
reflections. The impression received by us al
together was highly satisfactory as to the in
dustry and proficiency of the pupils, and the
valuable character of the attainments made.
In the evening the exhibition of musick,
drawing sc, was very fully attended, and
was made interesting to the audience by the
display Of talent in these departments both
in pupils and teachers. The opportunity FOR
cultivation in the two branches specified is
evidently superior, and justly commands the
attention Of those disposed to add the refine
meuts Of these pursuits to the more substan-
tial requirements of severe study. The
specimens Of composition exhibited were
confined to the seminary periodical of tho
young ladies, and were necessarily Gnony-
nous. We regret this. The peculiar quail
iiications OF the Teacher of the school iusti-
ly the expectation on the part of the patrons
Of special advantages in this department,
which it may doubtless offer. But the pu-
pill should feel this improvement, and obtain
a command Of confidence in her own talent
Her authorship should not only be avow-
ed, but acknowledged in the reading by her
own elocution, fer certainly this latter accom-
plishment of voice and manner is not pracii-
cally of less value than that of the pen.
4 specimen presented from the Seminary
Wreath VIC have been so fortunate as to Sc
cure. The art of rhyme, we do not claim,
is any more fattered By it than were those of
music and design by IFS agreeable rivals of the
evening, but it has a means of representation
within our Own craft for which penciled flow
crs and colored landscapes and the airy
sounds that syllable chastc harmonies have
not type. We confess its poetry reaches be-
You'd the compass of the m etred ornaments
of our own corner, and through the medi-
UNI Of the fancy rouses the sympathies of
native hearts. Bless the firm little hand that
made us our 'copyl'

GLORIOUS NEWS FROM MARY
LAND

The news brought by our last Albany Dali
ly renders it highly probable that the entire
delegation elected TO congress viii be wing.
IN the city of Baltimore John P. Kennedy
has been elected by a majority of 595. Oui
of the six districts, the wings have certainly
succeeded in four. The Daily says that
whatever may be the result in the Sd and 18th
districts the wings have succeeded Of the
representatives and are in great majority in
the popular vote. This is the first blow struck
for Clay in 1874. The enthusiasm among
the wings Of Baltimore is great, and exceeds
that Of 1870. The Tribune says that there
is no doubt of the election of wings from
the present returns.

principal Cities, the practice Of getting up
these Social Parties is very common.
They serve to create unity of feeling and
action, in the great effort of extormina-
ting the evil of intcmperance from our
land. The rich and the poor, the high and
low, the powerful advocate Of temperance
and the poor reformed invebriate, all meet
to exchange their congratulations with
each other, in viewing the success of their
fayorite cause, and renew their holy de-
