proceedings that is common in the Councils of the
Know-NCthiDgs but our reporter cOnfcsses that the
proceedings in question highly creditabe to the
untenifed of the rural district and he is strongly of
the opinion that if men Of the characters he found
present aid proceedings OF the kind, prevail 20 any
general extent among the party in this city they will
make their mark more surely and efecually than has
ever been done yet. 1t should be promised that
though this Committee represent what is known the
jackson party in the Ward, which the successful
party at the last election, yet they have not been

hearty roception-that part especially in which Mr..
Buohanans name presented as their choice for
the next President. Our reporter thinks the man

prevalent this occasion has any general acceptance.
There also very warm and very hearty con
demnaton of the Dark-Lantern party, and our Re-
porter is of opinion that the Sans in that region had
better be wide awake if they hope to accomplish asy
thing in that Ward in future. In this very connection
somewhat extended yet very Interesting conversation
followed in regard to the management Of the Ward
Schools, ard the very Catholic spirit manifested by
men of all shades of belief did good to the heart Of
our Reporter go much that for the nonce he almost
felt tempted to become Democrat.
Our Reporter highly pleased that no liquor was

Committee were plain, sensible men, most Of them,

Slavery by Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Franklin,
and other founders Of the Constitution and Fathers of
tie Republic. His dissection of the course Of the
Slavery propegandhts and President Pierce, and his
humorous illustrations of their probable future late,

ex President who in his high Office has betrayed
Liberty can be regarded byan outraged people, aud
"the significant obscurty into which they can permit

ever, made very fair examination. Their teachers
are Misses Alicia W. Goodwin, Elizabeth Bossuet "a

much needed here, although Mis- Goodwin las taught
