ORLAND, Oct. 24th, 1851.

MIR EprroR:-The Institute adjourned to-
day, having been in session ten days. About
a hundred and twenty five names have been
enrolled as members. and the Institute has
been quite a successful one. The standard of
qualification of Teachers find to be very low
in this County-whether County Institutes are
calculated to raise this standard, have my

each County ten days, it would be far more
profitable, in my opinion. to have but too In

On Friday afternoon, of last week, the Su-
pcrintending School Committees of the towns
in the County assembled in convention for the
purpose of electing Member of the Board of
DRINKwArER, Esq. of Bucksport, who has
held the station since the law creating the In
stitutes went into operation, having perempto-
rily declined reelection. There not being
ton could only recommend some person for
this station accordingly DR.. A. F. PAGE, of
Orland, was selected.
The book ,car, which has been going on all
over the State for year or two past, was re-
vived by the agents of the respective publish
ing houses, who were on the ground. There
was no great victory achieved by either party,
although there was an attempt to make an
issue out of it in the election of the member of
the Board. But the successful nominee was
selected without any pledges on his part, in
favor of either party, and from what l know of
the man, he will do what he conceives to be
for the benefit of the educational interests COM
mitted to his charge, This book excitement,
am glad to say, has been kept out of the In
stitute entirely, as it always should be.
Interesting public lectures have been deliv-
cred each evening that the Institute has been
in session here, from Messrs. Fowle, Packard.
Thurston, Secretary of the Board Of Educa-
tion) Rev. Mr.. Stone, of Bucksport, and DIR.
Catler. These lectures are appreciated by the
towns people, and are very valuable accompa-
niments of Institutes.
On the whole, the Institute has passed off
quite favoraby. 1 trus. that its advantages
will be found to be considerable, and that an
increased interest in the subject of education
may thereby be awakened. nE
Appropriate resolutions were passed. as usu-
al-hut my design has not been to give mi

Pennsylvania has covered herself all over
with glory. In the teeth Of government and
State patronage, whiggery, freescilism, native,

The State Elections.

Besides Pennsylvania, the result of the cleo
lions that have occurred recently, is encour-
aging TO the democracy. In Ohio, to be sure,
the election did not involve SO direct an issue
upon the Compromise question as in the for
mer State, and it is to be regretted that the
democracy of this State failed to place them
selves as unequivocally upon the national plat
form as they have in most Of the other States,
but in the defeat of the whig candidate, Vim
ToS, who belongs to the Seward and Johnston
abolition school, there is as much glory as in
the defeat of Johnston himself Besides this,
the wing party of Ohio, as well as of Penn
sylvania, had nominated Gen. Scott for the
Presidency, and their defeat settles all ques-
tion about his availability.
In South Carolina, Georgia, and Mississippi
the UNION men have swept every thing before
them, and rebuked the spirit of secession
which prevails there, and the democracy are
consequently victorious as at the North
These results are highly encouraging to every
patriot as well as democrat in the country.
