CITY INTELLIGENCE.

Nh. EDrroR You are aware it was announced
public meeting Of the mechanics of this city
would be convened at the City Hall, ON the 18th
utimo with the view oftaking some decisive action
touching the military superintendency of the Cap
itol Extension and Treasury Departments. This
call was not responded TO as above indicated, in
consequence of a subsequent announcement that
it (the msetng) was indefinitely postponed, be-
canse several members Of Congress (who were then
absent could not be present by reason OF pressing
engagements at home) had been engaged to ad-
dress the meeting. That the contemplated meet
ing did not take place is source Of regret to
many, - . large delegation of mechanics from
Georgetown and Alexandra had signi6ed their
intention to attend and cooperate in the pro.
ceodngs
1t Is to be hoped that another day will be fixed
for mass meeting in front of the City Hall, and
let not the absence of members Of Congress plead
an excuse for another indefinite postponement !;
for, surely, We have among our mechanic popula-
ton able and effective speakers, who, if they
not perform oratorcally and grammatically, at
least can present their own ideas and language in
manner comprehensive and Ineligible, and we
certainly can, on that occasion, dispense with the
howery speeches OF Congressman, because the
meeting 10 to DO composed Of civilians, not poti-
clans, who will have no necessity to discuss abb
stract questions, the everlasting niger topic,
and other grave political subjects now pending in
the triangular contest for President before the
American people.
That meeting, l understand, was called exclu-
sively and avowedly for the sole object of adopt
ing resolutions, and taking such other steps, ap-
proving or dsapproving ofthe selection of military
men to take charge OF public works, &C., and to
ascei tain, as far as practicable the opinions and
sentiments of the mechanics of the District OF
Columbia upon this invasion of their rights, and
upon this subject generally, in which the entire
mas Of the mechanics are deeply concerned
throughout the land. would therefore suggest
that preliminary meetings be had in the Wards OF
the city, for the purpose Of holding general mass
meeting at the City Hall, at such time as may be
agreed upon, and that the mechanics of Alexan.
dria, Georgetown, and Baltimore, be invited to
attend.

THE TAPPAN FEMALE SEMINARY.-Thi.
institution commences its first session on the
Sd of next November as will be seen by ref
erence to the advertisement in another col
umn. Messrs. STEELE g. HAGEMEN, Princi
pals and Proprietors, come highly recon-
mended by the first literary men Of New York
as superior scholars and accomplished teach,
ers. We have heretofore alluded to the mat,
ter of establishing first class seminary in ouI
place, as an enterprise which should receive
the cordiul support and patronage of our peo.
pie; and now that the work is begun, let il
be we'll sustained. Every man who takes
an interest in the advancement of our com.
muni,y in morality and intelligence, should
give encouragement and aid to the enter
prise. The location OF tho seminary is
healthIul and beautiful, and it is the design
OF the principals to afford students advanta-
ges for thorough instruction in all the de-
partments pursued in first class schools and
academies.

Last Can to Tearhers.

Fellow TEAcHERs:-You are probably
aware that the Portage County Teachers
Association will hold its second Teachers
Institute at Shalersville, commencing on
Tuesday next Oct. 2sth.
Do you appreciate your calling! Do you
properly estimate the relations which you
sustain to society and the destinies Of the RI
sing generation!
In few more weeks you are to assume
the weighty responsibility of taking into
your special care and keeping something
over two thousand immortal minds. The fu-
ture (both temporal and eterhui) destiny of
this large army of children and youths is en-
trusted to your hands. 81 TalE f" .t.L e
{ Not only their mental, butiheir moral and
physical development are to be moulded by
your acts. Their plant, tender minds so
very susceptible as they are OF being enam.
ored by ell that enobles and purifes the hu-
man heart andeleVates man to the position of
angels, or of being ensnured by the wiles
and allurements which degrade men to the
position Of devils arc to be turned in the path
of good or evil at your will.
Are you willing to attempt the task to
which an angel Olone is fully competent with
even less preparation end knowledge of your
business than would be required if you were
to engage in the common vocatons of life in
which pecuniary considerations alone are in
vol7ed. We hope to see large gathering
at Shalersville of earnest, living teachers,
who can never be satisfied with present at
tainments, but are ever determined to ad-
vance with the progress of the age.
Come up then TO Shalersville and let us
gather harvest Of k ,owledge and expert
ence. You will find either Of these COM
modities very convenient during your coming
winters labo-. Q.

The N. ". Herald Surrcmtgers.

The New York Herald, the leading Blsch
Republican organ, gives up the election o
Fremont. II admits that Buchanan will bt
the next President. The Herald of Saturday
last says: .0 ..... ....
"The late result in Pennsylvania in con.
nection with the unexpected success of the
Democracy in Indiana, show pretty clearly
the election ofJames Buchanan as our mex
President, by handsome majority of the
Electoral Colleges, againsta popular m"jor.
ity of several hundred thousand. Already
has this popular majority been sufficiently
wasted and frittered away by the opposition
factions, cliques, and managers, to Justify
this conclusion let US look for a moment
at the present condition, aspects and pros
poets OF the fight. Pennsylvania has been
thrown away. An Anti. Democratic MAORI.
ty there of 10000 year ago, has suddenly
vanished, through the tricks, treacheries Gnd
stupid quarrels and splits among the anti.
Democ ratio forces; and from the same caus-
es, Indiana, which was swept by the opposi-
ton from stem to stern in 1854, is now re-
covered in single desperate charge of the
alarmed Democracy. Upon the heels of this
Pennsylvania disaster we find the Fremont
and Fillmore managing Committees at Phil
adeIphia wrangling and splitting up in the
discussion Of joint stock electoral ticket
for November--the Fillmoretes, with an in.
fatuation amounting to lunacy, still clRging
to the delusion that they can afford to sacri.
flee Pennsy lvania and yet carry the election
to the House. In New Jersey, the Fremon,
party are still without an electoral ticket; in
New York, w. H. Seward, Thurlow Weed
aud their associate managers of the Fremon,
campaign have. in the meantime, left the
cause of Fremont at home to take care OF
itself while they have been There and there
and everywhere, holding little caucuses re.
sulting in nothing but mischief. In fact, we
halfsuspect thatthe secret treachery OF Sew
ard. Weed and Company, have scarcely done
less to prevent concentration of the oppo
sition forces oftbe whole country upon Ere
mont than the open, unscrupulous and malig
nant hostility Of the Fillmore Know Nothing
faction"

It will be remembered by those who at.
tended the last Ladies' County Temperance

utes Of that meeting, that it instructed its
officers to secure the service of lectur;ng
agent to canvass the county. We have en-
deavored to act according to these instruc.
tions, but without success until recently. A
friend of The cause recommended TO us Mrs
Shepherd, of Beloit, Wisconsin,, lady who
is highly commended bV the press in sever
al OF the Western States. We are happy
to inform the members of the Alliance, that
we have secured her services one month
We cordially recommend her to the friends
Of temperance throughout the county, hop
ing she will be kindly received by friends
and we'll sustained by hearers, and ably
supported by her audience. We think Mrs
Shepherd an able and efficient speaker, and
that no one can feel any worse for hearing
her. We, therefore, hope that all Without

plead for the prohibtory law. Mrs Shcp-
