SxcRErARy MARcY AND THE DEMoc-
RAcY.-The Cincinnati Enquirer is
terrible exercised BY the partiality
which some Of the Republican papers
exhibit for Secretary Marcy. Itsays :
"The praise they now bestow on Mar.
cy proceeds from a base and treache-
rous motive" We hardly think the
Enquirer's own respect is sincere
enough to warrant any very lofty airs
inIthe matter. 1t is only few weeks
since it published and went into ecsta-
cies over an imputed letter Of his
which turned out TO be a miserable for
geIy. We should really like to know
from what motive the praise which the
Enquirer then bestowed on Marcy pro-
ceeded. And we should ike to know
just as really how 1t feels after cutting
such ridiculous figure in the public
eye. We imagineit was and IS ex-

Mccleary's Bluff, Wabash Co., Ills,

6rWe find in the debate in the
Senate on the Presidents Message.
rather an odd commentary on Mr. Pier
ce's eulogy upon the late Presidential
election as proclamation on the part
OF the People "of devoted and unal.
terable attachment to the Unisn and to
tho Constitution, as objects Of interest
superior to all subjects Of local or sec-
tional controversy" Mr.. Mason Of
Virginia. speaking in behalf Of the
slaveholdiag States, by whose united
vote the result Of the election was de-
termincd. expressly declares, on the
other hand, that they regard the "lo-
cal and sectional interest OF the "leg-
islative extension Of Slavery" as para
mount both to the Constitution aud
the Union; and that the election Of
Fremont. regarded as q stumbling
block in the way OF that Legislative
extension would have led TO an "im.
mediate and 6nal dissolution" Of the
Union. We do not exactly perceive
what security Is given TO the Union
by the election OF Mr.. Buchanan by
the votes of men who utter such
threats. and many Of whom declare
that even his election can only be re-
garded as u postponcment OF the dis.
solution for another four years.--NY

THE susouEHANnA COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE

= The closing exercises of the sixth term and
second Academic year of the Susquehanna
Collegiate Institute, took place on the 2dinst.,
and were both pleasant and interesting. On
the evening of the first, the members of the
Alpha Epsilon Society entertained large and
highly respectable audience, by performing a
drama intended to represent the melting away
and final extinction of the aborigines of Ameri-
ca Two or three original orations were also
delivered by members of the Society, who are
also pupils in the school The exercises were
creditable to all concerned, and evnced to
those present, the marked improvement in the
highly important matter of education. The
fine singing of the college choir added much to
the interest of the OCCASION.
| On the morning of the second, numerous
audience listened to all address to the pupils
of the Institute, delivered by the Rev. Mr..
LANE, and were delighted with sweet music
from the choir. After the address, &c, the
company repaired to the College buildings,
where dinner had been provided. All of the
rooms were filled with happy, joyous children
and youth, together with their parents and
grand parents.
The exceedingly interesting exercises were
rendered still more attractive by the presence
and music of the Mountain Choir, which CON
ssts of about dozen Welch ladies and gen
tlemen from the townships of Warren and Pike.
The choir sang a Welch anthem in the church
The music was set the ll7th Psalm Of course
we could not appreciate the beauty of the words,
but the music was certainly fine, if we are q
Judge of good singing.
At the dinner, this choir together with the
one composed of the teachers and pupils of the
Institute sang several fine pieces, which were
greeted with much applause.
The whole affair passed off to the entire sat
isfaction of all, with nothing to mar the en-
joyment, or detract from the pleasure of the
occasion. We would here bespeak the favora-
ble consideration of the whole community in
behalf of this growing Institution. 1t is doing
