THE BLooDLEss ACHIEVEMENT.

j liE DLOOOl-l1AotO LhCAliAA II va iSAN
The assertion of Mr.. James X. Polk, thai
the ACQUISITION Of Texas is n bloUdless
achievement would indicate how much
credit should be given hlm for sagacliy and
forelhuughi, as statesman did ne not be-
lieve that h, knew this assertion would prove
false, if il had not already become SO Mr..
Polk knew when he made it, that war with
Mexico was the inevitable consequence o.
the annexation Of Texas. All his movements
indicate that he was conscious OF such 4
result. and this scenes 10 be the object of
his constant ann, We were involved in
difficulty with Mexico al that tine, and III
stead OF endeavoring, in his subsequent acts,
TO heal that difference, every one may see
that he manifeslly intended 10 widen the
breach, and provoke them 10 open hostility.
Mexico asked n Commissioner and Mr.. Polk

this Special Minister was waiting te be re-
crived or finally rejected, Mr., Polk was mar

SENATORS AND REPRESENTA-.
TTVES

We had no election Of State officers by
the people last year, and the Polk gentry
calculate there will be none this.
And in view Of this state of things they
are straining every nerve, and using all
manner of deceit and double games, to d.
vide the Wings on the Senatorial tickets,
and on Town Representatives; and we
hear of their chuckIing already ofthe cum
ming way they think they shall succeed in
catching Wings in their "gull traps" But
we guess that they will find that Wings
know thing or two, enough to let those
arch contrivers fall into their own snares.
So let it be. Let these cunning Locos
fall into their own traps.
Any thing to elect the ArJul DOdger.
They know the people despise his truck
ling, lodging course in Congress, but they
will turn fle world upside down to secure
Senators and Representatives enough to E.
Iect him Governor in the General Assem-
bly,! Look out for them, and let the
Wings go to the polls shoulder to Shout
der for the regular nominations of Sena-
tors and Representatives, and they will
gige the ArttM DOdger a chance to dodge
the Gubernatorial chair Of the State OF
Vermont.

FEMALE SEMINARY

This Institution, now in fourishing condition,
will be opened for the reception of pupils the COM
ing year with greatly increased facilities for III
structions, on Wednesday, Sept. LIST.
1t is the design of the Trustees and the Prin-
cipal of the Seminary to render this Institution
inferior to none, while they will attempt to make
il superior TO most others for thorough, practical
and finished education for young Ladies, render
ing them competent to discharge, with ability and
honor, the severe and varied duties which the ex-
egencies of our country demand at their hands
The course of study prescribed in this lnstitu-
ton and the means of instruction adopted are
thought to be peculiarly appropriately adapt
ed to accomplish this desirable end.
With due regard to the comfort and happiness
of the pupils, a greater, and far higher regard is
had to their proper physical, moral and ntelectu-
aldevelopement While we would not wish young
ladies seeking place Of education to forget the
advantages of this place for health and pleasure,
vet we would not invite them here for these alone
We offer them far more enduring and substan-
tial acousition-moral discipline and intellectual
conquest
The Principal is assisted by several teachers
well oualified for the departments assigned them,
who reside in the Institution and are ever ready to
render such assistance to the pupils as they may
from time to time require. Ample philosophical,
chemical and astronomical apparatus for illustra-
tion and experiment, is at the command of the
PRINCIPAL and Lectures in the several departments
of science will be delivered during the year
