The removal of Gov. Reeder excites deep
and general indignation throughout the Nor

respecting the Kansas outrages. The Harris

tone OF which may be imagined from the open
ing. viz:
A blow which will recoil with terrible effect

fortunate n securing able and experienced
Instructors, and though the exercises are

knowledge of the utmost practical importance
to them in dischargiug the duties OF their

These lectures embrace not only summary
Of the several branches taught. but also the

A public lecture will be delivered on each
evening during the session. if competent lee
turers can be secured. On Monday evening.
DIR. Cutter Of Mass author Of the popular
work on Physiology. delivered very inter
esting and instructive lecture on his favorite
science, and the best method OF teaching It,
He also dwels st some length on the anatomy
and functions of the skin. His remarks were
plain, practical and highly suggestive Though
not gifted with great powers Of slocution. Dr..
C. appears to possess large fund OF knowl-
edge nd native good sense. which enables
him to elucidate his subject with unusual clear
ness. We regret that his audience was 80
small. This was owing to the fact that no
general notice was given. as his arrival was
uncertain.
On Tuesday evening. Pro-. Stoddard of Pa.
author Of several excellent works on Arith-
metic. delivered lecture to q large and intel
Igent audience. His remark. were directed

anything to do with him, for if he will desert
one he win another, and no confidence can be
placed in him. He is of short stature. rather
stout. dark complexion, je. black hair. and
pretty good looking If be has taken another

Mr.. MoRToN's SPEECH AT LAFAYxrTE-
Our neighbor of the Jsffersonian copies from
the Lafayette american. a notice Of speech
recently made by o. p. Morton. Esq. in La
fayette. and says it is from the Gazette. "Fu-
sion" paper. Now. our neighbor has. either
from ignorance or bassness. imputed to the
editor of the Lafayette Gazette, q Fusion pa
per-" remarks and sentiments never expressed
by him. 1t is becoming too common prac-
,ice for old liners to quote from papers Of their
own ''hth and kim" and imputs such extracts
TO respectable Fusion" papers. for the sake of
giving them force and character. There must
be some design in such conduct, aud that de-
sign can be nothing but desire to impose upon
the public the opinions Of an old liner for those
Of respectable. truth telling and reliable fu-
sion editor. The Lafayette American editor
is not partial to Mr.. Morton-is equally Sc
we're upon Mr.. Campbell. and does not like
Judge Test. And from q careful reading Of
his paper. for the last few months. We have
not been able to discover partiality for any
person. or any special measure. except it be
Catholic policy. and opposition to the liquor
law. We suggest to our neighbor that when
he wishes to misrepressnt and SANDER Mr..
Morton. that he do it with the pen and tongue
of an old-linsr instead Of those Of decent
man.
1t is useless for Mr.. Elder to attempt to de-
tract from the well-earned reputation of Mr..
Morton. as public speaker. He has but few
superiors in the State. either in the manner or
style Of ora'ory, or the logical arrangement of
his subject. We know of no one in this
State more free in his criticisms upon the pub
lie speakers he may chance to hear. than our
neighbor. and yet he could not make speech
half as easy as he could make whistle out
