From the EdstoH Argus.
The Cry Is still they Come.

One after another, the prominent men Of tie
whig party are deserting Governor Johnston a1t
declaring their determination 70 support Colons
Bigler. We take the following account Of q
speech made by Dennis w. O'Bricn, a talented
member Of the Berks County Bar, az 3 der3-
cratic meeting ia Reading, from the GaIette G..
that place.
The Mass meeting Of the Democracy &
Reading, on Tuesday evening ~ Major EbBer.

by far the largest and most enthusiastic popslsr
assemblage Of the campaign. The mschsn.1s

and persons Of all occupations snd ever parry
hOeked together 70 hear the great naticnsl priz-
ciples Of Constituti0n-loying Democracy freely
and fairly discussed. u. ". o'Brien. Esq.. Il.
most talented and junior member u the Bera
County Bar, who has for several years past bcss
disgusted with the sectional spirit and tsndsz-
g Of the abolitonism, which have brought tie
Wing party IA close alliance with the Disuuiol.
ists Of the North, made open profession of Ia
adoption OF the Democratic creed, in 8 speech
which for cutting sarcasm, powerful Argumert
and irresistible elOquence. has rarely been eI.
celled upon 1.-The stump" lie took I'D the sgh-
ject Of slavery and the Compromises and il
mastery manner, demonstrated the position q
the two parties upon the momentous question q
faithful adherence to, or treasc nable resistsres
OF the solemn provisions Of the Constitution.
lie proved clearly that Gov. Johnston and the
Whig party have Rrrsyed themselves in open
hostility to that sacred instrument, and stand
before the country, committed to the dangerous
doctrine of obstructing the execution of one Of
its prominent articles, at the imminent peril Of
the peace, safety, and even the very existence
of this great and glorious Union. Mr.. O'Brien
further proved that the Democratic party, with
their candidate, Col Bigler, occupy the only
true national and patriotic ground, upon this
question, and that by his election alone could
the people of Pennsylvania testify the sincerity
of their attachment to the Constitution under
which the thirty-one States of the American
Union enjoy the inestimable blessings of civil
and religious freedom, and their inhabitants ST,
made secure in the enjoyment of the dear per
sonal rights of property, liberty and life"
At the Democratic Meeting in Mercer, Co.
Bigler was introduced to the people, by Ssnud
Holstein, Esq, who, in 184S, was warm 90
ardent supporter Of Governor Johnston.

Hon. Linn BOyd--The Speakership.

number OF western papers advocate the
election of the above eminent and patriotic Ken
tuckian to the Speakership of the next Congress.
For fourteen years has he been a member of
the United States House Of Representatives, and
has been justly styled the - Father of the
House" He is a radical, enthusiastic, National
Democrat, well versed in all matters pertaining
to the Office of Speaker, and during the long
term of years that he has been in Congress has
HsUer swerved from his duty. lie has been the
friend Of his constituency, and as an evidence
OF this ii is but necessary to state, that he has
been reelected to Congress from the first dis
trict in Kentucky by majority of 1854. lie
has been true to the Union and the Constitution,
ries in the late Congress, ably assisted in the
passage of the Compromise measures. He was
candidate for Speaker of the last Congress,
but generously declined in favor of his friend,
Hon. Howell Cobb, of Georgia. The following
articles, taken from the Kentucky papers, speak
for themselves. The Kentucky Argus says:
There is no member of Congress who has
higher claims TO the position of Speaker no one
who would discharge the functions Of the Office
with greater ability, more dignity and less par
lauty tnan "oulo the distinguished hentuckian,
and representative of this district Col. Boyd.
His long and efficient service, and intimate ac-
qusintance with parliamentary rules and usages
pre-eminently qualify him for the highly respon-
sible station, and we doubt not the honor of pre-
siding over the S2d Congress will be conferred
on him"
In reference to this matter, the Louisville
Democrat says:
"HoS. LINZ BoYD.-We are glad to see this
gentleman spoken of as the Speaker of the next
Congress His valuable services, sound judg-
ment, and long experience, qualify him emf
nently for the Office. We hope he will receive
the compliment which he 80 we'll deserves"
And the Maysville Flag holds this language
The Hon. LINN BOYD, of this State, is re-
garded by his friends, as the most suitable can
didate for the Speakership of the next House Of
Representatives of the U. S. Congress. There
is no man in the nation to whom the democratic
party is under greater obligations than to Linn
Boyd, for his patriotic and earnest efforts to
carry the compromise measures, and his sound
intelligence and long experience, eminently
qualify him for the position of Speaker The
democrats in the House will not fail to appre-
ciate these things, and we regard his election
therefore, as q fixed fact"

Newark Academy.

BY late re- organization of this department of
Delaware College, the Boardof Trusteeshave taken
measures to place il upon a new and improved
foundation, and to endow il with advantages pos
sessed by few similar institutions in the country.
The Academy, heretofore merged in the College,
and ofcourse subjected to all the evils which have
been found to attend the amalgamation of the two
depa artments in the same building, and under the
same government, now enjoys the privilege of
separate establishment, without losing those which
resultfrom it's relation to the College proper.
A large and elegant edihce, with all the neces-
sary fixtures of n complete boarding establishment
has been erected and furnished, in which the stu
dents of the Academy board, under the immediate
charge OF the Principal and his Assistants; and all
its excreiseS Conducted system of its own,
uninterrupted by the interests operations of the
other department. The furniture OF the study
rooms and dormitories has been chosen with pecu-
lnr reference to com fort and convenience for study
and no expense has been spared in providing the
apparatus necessary to render the means oinstruc-
tion completes; giving to Newark Academy facili-
ties for prisate study and comfortable accommoda-
ton of students, fully equal to those afforded by
many OF our colleges.
From its intimate rcaonto the College, ,studenta q
OF the Academy enjoy many advantages not gem
orally obtained at institutions of this kind. Those
who wish to pursue some particular branch which
fails more properly within the College course, may
be admitted to recite in any of the College classes.
Students also of proper age and discretion, by re-
commendation of the Principal, and permission or
the Faculty, may enjoy the use of the College La
brary without additional charge. Admission also
may be had to the Lectures, and such other privi-
leges of the College be profitably enjoyed
by academical students
The charge for Boarding Washing, Fuel, Light,
&C., with tuition in English, Latin, and Greek, is
seventy dollars for the Summer Session, and sew
enty five for the Winter Session. The only extras
arc dollar per session for incidental expenses,
and fee of eight dollars for Modern Languages
and fee of five dollars for Drawing, from those
who enter these classes. The sessions and vaca-
tions of the Preparatory Department arc the same
as those of the College.
