10 the Clerks, and other officers Of tle severo
---G Counties:


To The Clerks, and other officers Of tle several
Counties.
The Supreme Court having decided at their
late term, upon the application of the Clerk
of the Allen Circuit Court who was elected
at the last general election in October, 1854,
to the office of Clerk of said county, to fill
the vacancy caused by the death of the late
incumbent that said Clerk so elected at the
last October election, was entitled to said Of
flee for the period of four years.
BY said decision, the 9Th Section of Chap.
ter l15, Revised Statutes, approved May -,
1852, which reads as follows; "That every
person elected to fill any Office in which a
vacancy has occurred, shall hold such office
for the unexpired term thereof" is declared
void, being in conflict with the provisions OF
the Constitution.
Therefore, all officers provided for in the
Constitution, elected at the general election
in October, will be commissioned for the full
term.
ANY commission that may have been issued
TO any officer in your county in conflict with
this decision, will be corrected if returned to
the office of Secretary of State. You will
see that the necessary notice is given for all
elections hereafter in pursuance of this deci-
sion.
Any information you may desire, upon
legal questions, will be given by the Attor-
ney General, by writing to him at this place.
The attention of the Clerks is again called
to the act of February 9TH, 1855, requiring
the furnishing to this Department. the evil
dence of the reception of the laws in the
several counties.
1t is important that this duty should be
promptly attended to.
Very respectfully yours.

WEST POINT ACADEMY.-Many applications
for admission into this institution are rejected
and for the information of parents and Others
the N. Y. Journal states:
The fact is, the highest degree of physical
vigor is requisite to bear up under the rigorous
discipline of West Point The students are
on duty seventeen hours out of the twenty
four; for relaxation is as strictly prescibed as
labor, and implicit obedience to authority is
the duty of the soldier. They are obliged to
spend seven hours (from ten to five) in bed
without lights. The rigid discipline of the
Institution has the best effect on those who
have the strength to bear it. 1t is found pro-
motive of health, cheerfulness and mental
vigor. 1t can never, in any degree, be relax
ed in favor of the weak, for the country is in
terested to exclude that class, as Incompetent
for the services which it proposes to require
of those there educated. The object of the
Institution is to train for their country's SER
vice those on whom it can rely in exigences
and danger Let none but those who have
exhibited indications of peculiar promise be
encouraged to aspire to that exalted brother
hood Failure and DISMISSAL asSuredly await
all who, for want of health preparation, oil
ability, are not equal to meet the rigorous re-
] quirements exactel of the pupils at West
Point.

Union of the New York Democracy.

Union OF TN e IN eW Il DIX II emOCIaCy.
InrespOnse to a resolution passed by dem
ocratic mass-meeting held in Hudson, New
York, with a view to united action on the
part of the democracy of that State, the AL
bany Argus says:
eve donot understand from the resolutions
that this proposition is put forth in a dictate
rial spirit or with any tenacity on the part of
the democrats of Columbia for this particular
form of action, but rather as a suggestion OF a
practicable mode of arriving at desired results,
in relation to which they invite consultation
and comparison of opinion. This is right, and
we trust the democrats OF the State will free
ly and in friendly spirit canvass this and all
other propositions for composing strife and
re-establishing in our State government the
ascendancy of their principles. In due time,
we doubt not, a conciliatory spirit and prac-
teal wisdom will suggest a mode of action
which will rally the whole democracy in
support of a common ticket, and to partici
patton in common victory.
''As matters now stand, looking only to the
action of the conventions which have been
called by the two State committees, the re-
spOnsibiity will rest to great extent on the
convention which is first to assemble, and
which must necessarily take the initiative
If that body can bring itself TO act with the
magnanimity which public sentimentdemands
and, forgetting sectional and family strife,
place in nomination a ticket formed without
regard TO past divisions and of candidates who
can rise above past animosities, it will give an
earnest of peace and goodwill to which the
second convention could hardly fail to respond,
and we may thus in very quiet yet efficient
way, have practical union, which, without
notifying the pride of either section, or in
curing even the suspicion of corrupt bargain
ing, will result in placing our beloved but
misgovened State under the guardianship of
honest men and sound principles"

0EThe Journal has evidently been very
much annoyed by the term "Dumb Oracle, -
which we applied to it some time ago. That
the dart rankles is plainly shown by its i'm
potent attempts to turn the phrase against
ourselves. Before the Convention, our neigh
bors had it in their power to repe the charge;
but their course since that abolition assem-
blage has precluded them from denying our
accusation of silent imbecility. They say
nothing of their own views, but content them
selves with asking us ''if we think slavery is
right morally and politically and in accord
ance with the principles of Christianity
But these questions have been anticipated
by us and answered in advance.
Several days before the meeting of the
Convention we published a long extract from
Mr.. CLAY's Mendenhall speech for the espe-
cial edification of the journal, and recon-
mended the whole speech to their careful
reperusal, and stated that it expressed our
opinions on the subject of slavery in its moral
political and christian aspect far better than
we could express them ourselves
We again refer to that speech as containing
all we can say, and request the JON nal, if il
wishes to discuss slavery in the abstract, to an
swer Mr.. CLAY. But the practical question
on which it is the duty of the Fusion Press
to speak is, shall the existence of slavery in
the territories be prohibited, and if so, 10 a0lat
e1tent?
The position of the Democratic party is
well known. They desire no action of Con-
gress, they are willing to leave all the terri
tories of the United States open to all her
citizens. and to let the inhabitants form such
governments as may suit them without re-
striction or condition; they are also ready to
admit slave States as promptly as free States;
they think the Fugitive Slave Law a very
proper law, and that the abolition of slavery
in the District of Columbia would be breach
of good faith and no better than robbery.
What more does the journal ask? Will
it graciously condescend TO enlighten us on
the platform Of the Convention.

SYSoNYMoUs.-The Albany Transcript, in
view of the informing" or "spy" duties Of
the Carson League, styles the members of
that organization the sneaking league. 1t
thus speaks of them:
The Carson or Sneaking League are just
about these days full of business, running
hither and thither seeking who they may de-
your. When you see thing having the APP
pearance of being human, hang-dog express
sion with sheep-ike movement of the body,
eyes like a sun fish, sneaking about your door,
smelling around, you may determine that he
is one of the League. You can tell them in
a moment if you but catch their eye; they
wither under your look, conscious of their in
feriority as men and of the degrading, sneak
ing occupation they follow.

THE TRUE DocTRINE-The Richmond
Enqui' er in opposing the scheme of a South
ern party says:
awe firmly believe that the Democratic
party, as now composed and organized, is ade-
quate and ready to secure to the North and
the South, the East and the West, the peace
full enjoyment of their several rights and
immunities. The rank and file of the party
was never firmer, truer or sounder."

06TOne provision of the New York pro-
hibitory liquor law, we see is actively en-
forced, and there can be no doubt of its good
effect upon public order and morals. We
allude to the prompt arrest and punishment

intoxicated in the street. Over fifty persons
are already under Imprisonment for this of

of knowledge. The President assured them
that the cerimonies of the occasion were not
parting ceremonies-that they would serve to
bind his heart more closely than before, to
theirs-that wherever they should go his
best wishes would be with them, and his
memory would linger about them. After
much wholesome advice and many exquisite
illusions to the past the President bid his
students adieu, with the beautiful benediction,
"May Heavens eternal blessings be with you
and crown you with eternal life"
The hour for parting had arrived, and I'M
der the influence of the mellifluOus music Of
Mrs. Prof. HIBBEN and the Misses ARNOLD and
RANKIN, which pervaded the hearts of the
audience at intervals during the whole of

departed for their homes.
