the young men of our town. We endorse every
word that ''viator" says as to the utility and
necessity of the Library.
Come. old as we'll as young lend us your aid,
and little of the material aid at that, and let us
see what can be done to improve the morals and
intelligence of our flourishing business city We
have plenty of material-and that of the right
sort-to build up an Institution of definite lite

'Old Scool,' Of this that and the other, and why
not la the foundation for School here, that

We know that men are too apt to reject ev-

one would dare deny the usefulness of good

MeSSrS. Edi.ors.-The paramount importance
of the great cause of education, and the profound
interest which attaches to the scholastic opera
tions of the youth of the present age, must form
an apology for this brief notice.
The "WAsHINGroN LITERARY SOCIETY,"" of
Madison College, was organized at this place on
the 22l February, 1852, in honor of the latal
day OF our great and immortal Revolutionary
sire, and the % ult. was to have been celebra
tel by the Society as It's first Anniversary. On
account, howes er, of incessant rain, the exercises
were necessarily postponed till the following
day. At the appointed hour on the morning Of
the 23rd, procession, composed of all the stu
dents, with the Faculty and Speaker of the day,
together with the Cadets and Sons of Temper
ance, was formed in front of the College, and
thence, under the direction of the officer of the
day, marched to the Methodist Church. Passing
the Female College the procession was joined
by the young ladies of the same, under the direc-
tion of their preceptors, which of course render
ed the scene more imposing and attractive.-
Arriving at the Church, which was handsomely
decorated with a profusion of evergreen and
other pleasing ornaments. and after prayer from
the venerable President of the College, the exer.
cises of the day were begun and concluded ac-
corling to the order of the following pro-
gramme:-( Programme crowded out for want
of space.)
Notwithstanding the inclement weather. a
large and respectable audience was in attendance,
and all were evidently delighted with the enter
talnment The speakers appeared beneath an
arch of vines and flowers, in which was promi-
nently displayed their motto-.svita sine iteriS
naors est"-most ingeniously wrought in letters
of evergreen. All the speeches, addresses, &C..
were well selected, appropriate to the day and
occasion OF celebration, and were well delivered
and well received. To particuarize where all
did so well, would seem rather invidious, but
we must say that the debate conducted by Mes
srs. Fly and RoGAN, of the senior class, was
ably maintained on either side, and evinced evi.
dent skill in the difficult arr of reasoning.
But the address to the Society by N. T. PuaH,
Esq, OF your city, was, of course, the effort OF
the day. 1t has been my fortune to hear several
addresses of this character, but never one that
would compare with it in all the essentials of a
College Address. Couched in chaste and beau
tlfui language, 1t was at the same time pointed.

of whom she may well delight to boast.
The members of the society were SO pleased
with Mr.. Pugh's address, that they instantly
passed unanimous vote requesting copy for
publication; and as the entire community de-
sire the same, it is to be hoped that the author
will crafty their wish. ButI fear have already

fET The Eastern Clarion brings to US the
proceeding of large Democratic meeting held
In Laude rdale, to appoint delegates to the DEM
ocratic State Convention to be held in Jackson
in May next 4 long list of delegates were
appointed. and among other resolutions, the fol-
lowing was unanimously adopted:
RESOLVED That as portion of the democracy
of the East, we plesent to the democracy of the
State, the Hon. JOHN J. McRAE, of Clark coun-
ty, as proper person to be elected To the United
States Senate, by the next Legislature.
Mr. McRae is an able and efficient member
of the Democratic party, and while member
of the Senate, gained enviable reputation.
He is certainly the choice of large portion OF
the democratic party for Governor, and would,
we have no doubt, receive the nomination for
that position by the Convention, if it were
known that he would accept 1t. We have moi
heard his aSms for Senatorial honors canvas
sed, and are OF prepared to give an opinion
upon the subject. Our friend and cotempora-
~, S. r. Adams of the Easton Clarion, ad-
dressed the meeting in tone and spirit, o
which we heartily approve, and hope the senti
ments therein expressed will prevail in the
Convention. We are decide dly of the opinion
that the convention should make no nomina
tioDs for Senator. There will, doubtless be
several democratic aspirants Tor that position
and as it is matter to be acted upon by the
Legislature alone, that body should ma ke the
selection. A nomination by the convention
could do no good and might produce dissen
sions in our party.
