Van Buren for Buchanan.

Buchanan-who is no longer James Ry-
chaHan, says the St. Louis Intelligence
but the ''noniuee OF the Democratic nar-
ty, has just received another accession
to the ranks OF his friends and supporters.
IN the person of AIartin Van Buren, the
Old ex-Fresident. That retired and al
nlost forgotten functionary has written =
long letter to the Tammany Society. in
which, after stating his anti-slaverv opir-
ions, he winds up by declaring that he il
for Buchanan. This fact, taken in con-
junction with Rceder's support of Buchao-
an, proves the character OF the game that
is to be played at the North by the sup
portcrs OF the Democratic nominee. He
VIII be run just as Van Buren, was-.s =
Northern man at the North, and IS 4
Southern man at the South. The anti
slavery elements rallying to the support Of
Fremont, are dedris Of the ancient Demcc
racy, and Buchanan friends are aiming
to win these back to their former faith
They won Van Buren, and Reeder over,
and calculate, no doubt, to win over also
a considerable portion OF the party which
these personages represent.
Van Buren, is the same willy, foxy old
freesoller he was in lS4S, when he ran for
President On the Buffalo Platform. lie
IS good Democrat, however, and will be
heartily welcomed back to the family
he so unceremoniously abandoned eight
years ago. We would Ike to know, how
ever, how many votes at the South will
be gained for Buchanan by his union with
the head freesoiler of Lindenwald

Great Fillmore Meeting in Alabama.

On the lth instant there was a glori-
Gus assemblage of the friends of Fillmore
and Donelson in Montgomery. The Hon.
j. f. Belser presided, and the meeting
was addressed by the Hon. Messrs. Hill
lard, Chiffon, Watts and Baker. The
Montgomery Journal remarks that Mr..
Fillmore now stands, in the opinion of
conservative men, as the only anti-Free-
soil candidate before the people. Since
the days of Daniel Webster, there has
been no one but Dir. Fillmore who has
dared to address Northern Freesoil assem-
blages, and tell them the truth to their
faces that they are guilty of moral trea-
son-that the South would resist, and
ought to resist, their outrageous schemes
to debase this section, As Mr.. Baker re-
marked, Mr. Buchanan or Mr.. Douglas
dare not do IT'D.

REPORT.

.ac,na-%ol


We, the undersigned. committee an
pointed and requested to witness the ex.
animation of the pupils OF the Male Acad
emy OF Washington, take pleasure in re-
porting our opinions of the advancement
and proficiency of the students of this
school as witnessed by us in our attendance
as such committee. On Thursday morning
the exercises commenced with the exami-
nation OF the students in the primary classes.
The pupils In these classes evinced a nro-
tcieney In reading and spelling which we
were really unprepared to see in BOYS -ot
theirage- In all their recitations througb
the day, they gave such evidence of thor
0ugh advancement on their own parts. and
OF industry and faithfulness on the mart Of
Mr. Davis, their teacher and manager. as
Is seldom to be witnessed in any institution.
On Thursday nj ght there was very inter.
estIng exhibition by the young men which
was attended by large number of the
friends OF the institution. Friday morning
the exercises We're resumed and durino the
day, several of the advanced classes were
examined In the studies which they had
been prosecuting through the session.
we cannot fail to give utterance to-tbc
thorough advancement and proficiency of
the students, SO apparent to our minds. in
the Greek and Latin, and higher mathe-
matical classes. The evidences of industry
and proficiency exhibited by the youno
men In these classes but entirely corrohol
rated the falthfulness and ability of Mai.
Borden, their preceptor. On Friday NIGHT
came the declamations and the original
speeches OF the advanced students. Thesa
speeches were characterized by many ex-
ceiiencles, and the crowded auditory mani
iestec much interest in the success of the
young gentlemen.
we consider it unbecoming if not un-
Just IN the discharge Of our duty as an
invited committee of attendance, to indulge
IN IDLE and fulsome adulations of the ex-
erclses of this esamination.-but we
cannot, as citizens of this commu-
nifty: avoid giving expression to the
confidence We fepose in the ability and
excellence of Maj. Borden and his assis-
tant, Mr. Davis, as gentlemen and instruc-
tors. We congratulate parents, guardians
ana all friends of education in this section
OF the State, in having the services of such
ehclent 81 and gentlemanly teachers. Mai.

scholar and an excellent man-and the
training and instruction impaired by him
