NOTES OK TIE CAMPAIGN.

From every quarter Of the Unon NORTH South RAs and
West receive the enthusiasts reports Of the high
spirits and bright prospects Of democracy We speak not
boasungly but 10 eandor and sincerity when We assert
that We do believe any intelligent observer Of what
party he may be- entertain the least doubt Of the
election Of James Buchanan and John @. Breckenridge
As for ourselves expect the triumph be equal to that
achieved in 1852
We might give extracts from our exchanges and from
private from every State in the Union full Of conf
dence and zeal but shall content ourselves this
ing with merely few from several Of the northern States
We begin with
PenasylpaRia
The old Keystone is all right The electoral ticket is
exceedingly strong The enthusiasm which in former
contests has inspired the democracy of Pennsylvania
increased enold when they battle for their friend
and ayorite James Buchanan. The opposition have been
making desperate effort unite their forces upon
electoral ticket 50 far they TO have failed Even
should they succeed in this scheme the democracy could
meet them snge-handed and defeat them but there
large number of sound conservative wings in Pennsyya-
MIA who viii never support disunion candidate and who
will stand idly by and the Union imperilled.
These viii throw their weight and influence for Buchanan
and Breckenridge Again repeat the old Keystone is
all right Her twenty-seven votes will be for the
inees Of the democracy.
AS sample Of what is going on, we quote from an Erie
paper, the Spectator, German sheet as follows:
"The proprietor Of the German Erie Spectator would
respectfully 10 bis patrons that for the past
eighteen ears be has published paper invariably deyo
led 10 the promotion Of whig principles That to the
correctness of those principles his opinions remain
changed but in the present presidential canvass there be-
ing no wing the fed his services shall be devoted TO
the success OF the experienced statesman Of this
ton Pennsyvanias favorite son. james Buchanan. Be
leyug that sectionasm forms part of his political
creed and that all the diversified interests Of this country
would be faithfully protected under his administration
cordially invite the cooperation OF our patrons under his
| bannef for the salts Of the Union"
Another exchange, c'ef ths heAa OF glorious news

The democracy Of the State moving battle VIA.
an ardor and determination have equalled
in any campaign Harvest is yet fully over and yet
the farmers in crowds TO meetings and national
of every party openly cooperate with their democratic
felowcitzens in support Of Buchanan and Brecknrdgs
These gatherings numerous beyond all precedent
"All our intelligence is good. Nothing can resist the

SCHOOL ExAAINArIoN.-We have lust re-
turned from the annual examination of the
school of Mr.. j. Mattern, numbering one hun
dred pupils, and We add our testimony th at
it was most interesting and satisfactory. The
various branches in which they were exam
amined are, reading, penmanship, arithmetic.
competition, grammar, natural philosophy,
morality, geography, music, drawing, history,
and defamation, in all Of which they acuuit.
ted themselves in highly creditable manner :;
and the more so as they were examined in
both English and German.
This youthful seminary is hardly more than
a year and half in existence, and Judging
from what has been accomplished in this short
time, we are warranted to predict for it a glo.
rious future. Connected as it is with the Ger
man Evangelical Church Society, whose pas.
tor and members take deep interest in its
welfare, 1t must prosper. Advantages are af.
fOrded by this institution which we do not
easily find elsewhere
The only suggestion We have to m Ike is tbs t
the worthy and indefatigsble tutor should
have an assistant in the arduous labors which
he performs, and we hope he will soon have
that aid. CJvIs.
