We attended the commencement of this ins,i-
tuition last week, and were delighted with al
that heard and saw.
On Wednesday. August 18th, the Union Lit.
erary Society was addressed by our fellow citi.

siasm of the artist, and the ability Of master

will minister to whatever is good and noble in
the human heart. He spoke in this spirit. anc
for this end We attempt no synopsis of hi.
able and interesting address, because it will b
published. when we shall have an opportunity
to give it in part, to our readers.
SAMUEL b. KEYS, Esq, of Cincinnati followed
Mr.. Allen, and delivered the diplomas of tn,
Union Society, His address was short; but per.
tinent, earnest and eloquent. We caught his
enthusiasm as he spoke Of college life, and told
the youth who stood before him what they hao
to do as they trod the rugged pathway of life
The students responded warmly to his manly
sentiments.
Thursday morning, August 18th. addresses
were delivered on the following subjects by the
students named:

that they were characterized by the very best
spirit. All of them were eNcelent-showing
that the influences Of Hanover reached the
heart as well as the head, and that while the
President and Professors abo-ed to make good
scholars, they labored as successfully, in max
ing good men.
In the evening the Philalathean society was
addressed by JOHN c. VAUGHAN, followed BY the
delivery Of the society diplomas, and an address
by SAMUEL E. LOGAN, Esq.
Mr.. LOGAN acquitted himself well. II he had
in him the fire of youth, it was tempered by the
wisdom Of age A fevent spirit animated him,
and he spoke as became one so imbued. We do
not know when we have listened to an address of
this character SO replete with generous feeling.
and which seemed so completely to sway old
and young.
HANOVER COLLEGE, offers, certainly, every in
ducement which the student should desire, or
the parent wish for. The President and Profess
sors are able men, and indefatigable in their ef-
forts. The boy who wills may learn here if
any whore. Then again the moral tone Of the
students is SO elevated! More than half Of them
are religious, and the consequence is, not only
that they live in harmony, but tina every thing
like excess and violence are unknown.
We trust that new efforts will be made to put
this college. As regards pecuniary means, on a
permanent basis, and that its friends, and espe-
eially, the church under whose auspices it la
bon. will spare no pains in accomplishing this
important object. They can accomplish it, if
they choose.

Canal T~lis-Osl~.

Ohio, our sister State, il We mistake not, is
forty-hve years old. Yet, in that period, she
has constructed public works which have a
national influence. Let us glance at tn en-;

John Wood, Esq, the distinguished auditor
of Ohio, has just published a statement showing
the result Of the public works for three quarters
ending August Is. He sums up:
From the above statement, it appears that the
several funds paid into the State Treasury, du-
ri ng the threequarters of the present year, end
ing on the 18th of August, are as follows:
Canal fund, for the payment of
interest on the State debt, and
repairs of Publ. Works, 81 ,472,S9l As
General revenue for the support
of State Govern ment and In
stitutions, 222, sos 80

Sinking Fund applicable to pay
mont Of State debt, 1926 SO

by the counties, and applica-

stocks, 1885 %
The amount of canal fund received during
the thres-quarten ending the 18th Of August,
is sufficient to pay the whole interest upon our
State debt, allowing $500, 900 to be deducted for
repairs.
The whole amount of the sinking fund which
will be applicable at the close of the year to the
payment Of our State debt, will not be les. than
too hsndred and fifty thousand dollars.
This is a remarkable state of affairs The
receipt from Taxes and Tolls, for three quarters,
ending the 18th Of August, will pay the whole
interest of the large debt of Ohio, and leave a
surplus. at the end Of the year, of $3.50, 600!
The increase Of revenue ON the public works
is really great. Thus may we sum it up in
figures:
For the 18th of August, 1876 sas7,4s9
{" lS47 553494
Increase from lS4J to 1886 90 per cent.
1886 to l347 GO per cent.
supposing that the demand for produce, for
foreign expectation, will not continue during
The present quarter, still il 10 estimated that
Canal Tolls, for le47, will reach $3.50, 0OO--an
increase Of THIRTY per cent. on the receipts of
1886!
What will not FREE LABOR accomplish
This alone has enabled Ohio to begin and COM
plste her great public works-to meet her in
iebtedness, and have q surplus-and, in so
hort period, to rank, in power and Popula-
lion among the 6rst Of the great States Of the
Union.

Here is difference in favor of the Alabama
manufacturer of over frenfy per cent, and why
is not this advantage turned to good account .
Why do not the Caroinians and Alabamians
work up their own cotton Alabam. had in
1910. fourteen cotton manufacturing establish
ments; South Carolina, fifteen; Georgia, aine-
teen; employing in all, sixty thousaAd, four
hundred and forty-six spn6les, while the mum.
Der in little Rhode Island, alone, was TWO HUN
pREp and NINE, working FIVE HUNDRED and EIcH-
TEEN THOUSAND, EIGHT HUNDRED and SEVENTEEN

The fact cannot be concealed. Ii is FREE La
Dor which makes the difference. Mobile is re-
trOgrading; Charleston is retrograding rail
roads neither help them on, nor build them up !;
for slavery drives away their own white laborers,
and keeps out free Northern ar,izans !: and with
all their advantages, these States are sinking,
sinking in power and prosperity every day
Nor will any 'rasmodie effort save them. They
will have to go TO the root of the evil, and dig
up slavery as the upas tree which blasts and
withers up whatever comes within its reach,
and plan, in its stead, the goodly tree Of liber-
ty, ere labor will flourish in their soil, and a
healthy prosperity bless it, and the people who
sustain it.

comparatively speaking, there is not in either
