The annual commencement Of this Institr

The annual commencement OF this Institution
took place on the 29th Of June.
The Literary Societies of the College were ad-
dressed on the evening preceding the commence
ment, by J. ID. Nourse, ESQ.,, Of Bardstown, au-
thor Of the "Past and its Legacies" Speakers
on such occasions, too often forge that they are
participating in literary festival, at least if we
may Judge from the character Of theiI perform
ances. Mr. NOurse, however, entertained his
hearers with speech which was emphatically
literary, and one too, which did great credit 10
its suthsr. We are happy TO learn that it is in
preparation for the press II cannot fail to in
terest the loveTs OF a sound philosophy, and Of a
pure and chsste literature.
The degree Of A. B. was conferred on 81 young
men of the Senior Class, and that of A. NJ. on
several former graduates.
The graduating class was, believe, re laIg-
est that ever went out from the Institution.
1t is expected that a large Freshmen Glass
will enter at the commencement Of the next ses.
sion.
The present prospect is, that through the eff,
Gent labors Of the agent now in the field, the
College viii soon be well endowed.
The advantages to be derived from such an in
stituti0R located in the heart Of Kentucky can
not fail to be felt over LANCE extent Of country
and il is believed that those who may assist il
putting il upon a permanent basis, will hnC
themselves nchly rewarded in its future prosper
ity and usefulness.

The scrupuIou. LanaIaay.

The following anecdOte, which we have new
er seen in print, We heard related by Rev Doc
tor --, President Of Western College.
A celebrated Universalist preacher, who had
been making good deal of noise in a certain
part of Ohio, was travelling, late in the day, in
region Of country in which his name was well
known At the close of day, he arrived at a
country tavern, dismounted from his horse, and
entered the house. Here he was consoling him.
self for his fatigue with the prospect of taking
his ease in his inn, when the landlady entered
into conversation with him. When he told her
that his name was p, che asked him II he
knew F., the Universalist preacher.
al am the same F." sale he.
"You are that p" exclaimed she;
swell, you can't stay in this house--you must
go"
"But, my good madam, see how late it is; and
| am very much fstigued"
81 can't help i'll won't encourage such do
ings as you're carrying on--start as quick as
possible"
"But, madam, to turn me away now would
be cruel-where shall stay to-night3"
81 don't know, but can't keep you hers-so
it's no use talking
Finding that he could effect nothing by expos
tulstion, the preacher, perhaps thinking the Ia
dy might form an exception TO his general rule,
mounted his horse, and rode till he came to q
house whose owners were not so scrupuIous.
About year afterwards, he was travelling in
the same region, and rode up to the tavern from
which he had been so uncersmonIously elected.
On this occasion he determined, be- fore dismount-
ing. TO ascertain whether he would be permitted
TO stay. The landlady came out al his call, and
Immediately recognised him.
MADAM, can you accommodate me with
lodgings to-night2" said he.
"You are p, the Universalist preacher,
are you nOt7''
"Yes, madam, but have changed my opin-
ions somewhat since l saw you; on investiga-
ting the matter more carefully, have come TO
the conclusion that just one hundred and forty
four thousand will be lost"
The landlady assumed thoughtful attitude;
then suddenly raising her head, she said:
swell, l reckon you may come in-that's
better than nothing"

T G. KEEN.

Mr. Keen complains that we did not send him
a copy Of the number of the Examiner which
contained our remarks upon his defence Of slave
ry. We knew that a member Of his church in
tended to send the paper to him, and we did moi
suppose it necessary TO attend to the matter our
selves. We thought nothing more was required
than that he should receive the paper In this,
perhaps, we were wrong A. least, he shall moi
again have similar cause of complaint.
The gentleman charges us with making insin-
nations We thought we had spoken out pretty
plainly all that we did say. The charge of ma
king insinuations reminds us of an anecdote VIC
once heard of a boy who had been sent by his
father to stay with neighbor. The boy, after a
short time, returned home and told his father
that he could not stay with the man 10 whose
house he had sent him.
''Why, my SOM" asked the father.
"Why, he kept limiting at me-"
"HiHting at you! How did he hint"
"Why, he just kept limiting"
"But tell me hOr he gave you the hint"
"Why, he kicked me down stair!"
We do not mean to ''insinuats'' that we per.
formed any similar operation upon Mr.. X; but
we think our language had as little claim TO be
called iaainnation, as the action to which the boy
referred had to be considered limiting When
the gentleman calls our remarks s'nsnuations, -
we think he uses The figure Of speech which the
rhetoricians call msiosis, we believe. Wehave
no doubt that he feels al the contempt for o.rl
'Insinuations' that the boy aforesaid did for the
"hnting.". We have carefully examined the
whole of our article to lind the insinuation that
Mr.. X. attempted TO defend the institution Of
slavery To secure or promote his standing among
pro-slaveY men," and have not been able todis-
cover it This "insinuation'' is altogether a
production of his agination-ill-dispoeed per.
sons might say of his conscience, but we do not
We said that his object seemed to DO 10 show that
''some things can be done as well as Others"
We have also searched for the inyectiyes which
the gentleman says we used, but they are invisi-
bic to the naked eye. II the power Of framing
''tissues of invective' is Characteristic of aho-
liton editors, we are really afraid that we shall
have to give up all claim to the title 1t is true
that we spoke OF the pro-slavery orator as ''the
reverend gentleman" and we win not deny that
close observer might have discerned a slight
curling of our lip when we used the expression
The term itself, however, is one Of respect, and
the appearance of severity arises from its being
placed by the side Of sentiments which are in
consistent with the character. Ifwhat we said
was severe, we are sure the gentleman would
forgive us il he knew what we RETAINED from
saying.
