ers of Penmanship in this city, we have carefully

much superior to any other We have seen-Ihat the
improvement of their pupils is very rapid, and We

THE SENATE was not in session yesterday

THE SENATE was not in session yesterday--the
eighteenth instant.
In THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, Mr.. HARRI
son offered resolution, which was adopted, re-
questins the President of the United States to
inform theS House what measures, if any, have
been taken 10 execute the act appropriating
twenty-five thousand dollars, 10 procure from
Hiram Powers, the sculptor, some work Of art for
the establishment of the new Capitol.
Mr.. GROW made personal explanation, TO the
effect that the letter purporting 10 be written by
Governor Reeder, was not addressed 10 him, as
appears in recent newspaper publications. Gov.
keeder had not written 10 him on any subject. He
did wish il 10 be believed that he had committed
the gross offence ofpublishing private correspon-
dence; and hence the explanation.
Mr.. PHELPS said that he had seen the letter
referred TO by the gentleman, il was written by
Governor Reeder in this city, 10 Mr.. Grove of
Kansas, and contained an ausion TO the Wyan-
dot float.
Mr.. GROW replied that his only object was TO
dsconnect himself from the letter in question
Mr. CAMPBELL, Of Ohio, gave notice of his in
lenlon to call up, on Monday, next, the report of
the select committee on the subject oft the Sumner
assault.

/ The trial of William Palmer for the poison
ing Of Cook has left not only London, but even
the most remote village Of the British Isles, in
state of feverish excitement during the last
week, and the news-vendors have reaped an
abundant harvest from the interminable and
universal inquiry Of "What about Palmer?"
The complicated aud mysterious features of
the transaction have added an additional zest
to the public curiosity Originally medical
man by profession, he early abandoned the
lancet for the more alluring but dangerous pur-
suits of the race-course. Fortune at first
smiled, then frowned, and finally left him in
volved in difficulties beyond hope of extrication
by fair dealing, and forgery to vast amount
was resorted to as the only solution of the gor-
dian knot of pecuniary embarrassments. But
this temporary expedient could merely pro-
crastinate, not cancel the coming day of reck-
oning, whose memorable demands there were
no funds to satisfy. Cook, on the contrary,
was both successful better and the proprietor
of winning horse, valued at princely figure
consequently in possession OF a considerable
sum of ready money and an GEL Dorado" bet
ting book. Palmer, it appears, accompanied
him to "The Talbot Arms" in the village Of
Rugeley, where, after partaking of some brandy
and water, Cook became suddenly and vio-
lently unwell, and afflicted with such success
sion of spasmodic yomitings as are caused by
strychnine. An old and feeble medical atten
dant was called in, who in conjunction with
Palmer, prescribed for the patient, who became
alternately better and worse, and at length ex-
pired. No money or betting book was found
after his decease, although diligently searched
for by his step father, who arrived at Rugeley
on the evening of his death, by which time
Palmer had already ordered his cofin-ofered
many objections to having post morton ex-
animation of the body, (which, however, was
periormed) and promised bride to the carrier
if he could manage to break the jar which con-
tanned an analysis of the stomach and intes-
tines, on their transmission to London for
further inspection. During an examination
of many hours, DR.. Taylor unswervingly main
tanned that the symptoms attendent of the
death of Cook, must have been the result of
poison. This opinion Of our. first analytic
chemists was, however, SO dramatically OPP
posed by the testimony of other highly eminent
men, that public sympathy not only underwent
a complete revolution in favor of the prisoner,
but dark shade Of scepticism as to the vdlue
Of medical eridence on such questions has arisen
which shall embolden the future poisoner,
although the jury, on whose verdict depended
the life of William Palmer, have pronounced
him guilty.

First Glass Statesmen.

The action of the late Convention shows Tia
futility and emptiness of the charge which pc
litical croakers have been in the habit of lay
ing at the door Of the Democratic party, to wit:
that we should always be compelled to take up
for our candidate second or third rate states
man, whose chief recommendation should be
that nothing was known Of him, and therefore
nothing bad could be said of him. The feeling,
united and enthusiastic, which prevailed al
Cincinnati, shows that on like occasions the
Democrats Of the Union, will act in the same
magnanimous manner. Rejecting as puerile
all personal "claims" to their favor, they have
shown that the body of our delegates know
how to select the most complete exponent of
Democratic principles. The Cincinnati nomi-
nations are enough to satisfy us that in our
contests for great constitutional principles and
sound political doctrine, we shall never be
compelled to follow the standard of any but
first class statesman.
For every employment there are always
proper employees and as success in business
depends mainly upon the sagacty with which
they are selected, so the success of party prn-
ciples depends upon the judgment used in fix
ing upon those around whom others are called
upon to rally. However good cause may be
in itself, it must suffer when the leadership is
entrusted to other than the most competent
and worthy statesmen. The strength Of De-
mocracy never lay in its candidates, but aside
from the intrinsic soundness Of its principles
its long series of victories is due mainly to our
fortunate choice Of candidates. While con-
tending against those who have tried to per-
vert our government from its legitimate ends,
to distort the simple provisions Of our Consti
tuition into dangerous and unwarrantable
powers, to centraze all the powers of govern
ment, to dissipate and merge the inherent
rights of the sovereign States into federal
despotism, to permit the tyrannical informed
ding Of the people of one section in the pecu-
liar and private concerns of another, or to de-
prive certain class of citizens of their most
estimable privileges with the insane hue and
cry of false Americanism-whi battling
with all forms of heresy, and laboring for the
honor, the welfare, and the perpetuity of the
whole nation, it has been our good fortune to
follow leaders of the highest class, men Of the
largest capacity and of spotless integrity. A
party that has followed to victory Jefferson
or a Jackson may now have the satisfaction of
voting for candidates worthy of having their
names inscribed on the same bright page of
history with theirs.

The nominations,

Another Of the great parties Of the country
has made It's Presidential nominations. The
Democrats in the National Convention at
Cincinnati have come to the unanimous con.
cluson to support James Buchanan, of Pennsy-
vania, for President, and J. c. Breckinridre,
of Kentucky, for Vice President; and this ticket
will, without doubt be unanimously sustained
by that party in every State in the Union. This
consolidation is an element Of great strength
The geographical and sectional appointment
of candidates is nearly the same as that of the
American nominations made at Philadelphia,
which is now before the country. Mr.. Buchanan
is from the free State of Pennsylvania, and Mr..
Fillmore from the free State Of New York, both
large middle States contiguous to each other.
Mr.. Breckenridge is from the slaveholding State
OF Kentucky, and Mr.. Donelson from the slave
holding State of Tennessee, large contiguous
Western States. Geographically speaking,
there is "no North and no South:n politically
speaking, there is North, South, East, and West,
and the selections are therefore in this respect
likely to be acceptable to parties of both sec.
TONS
The nominations are particularly acceptable
in another point of view. All the candidates
presented for the sufrages Of the nation are
men of unimpeachable purity Of personal
character, above the possibility of any Just re-
proach, as citizens of unblemisbed integrity,
and unquestionable patriotism. The public
eye will rest more especially upon the nomi-
nees for the Presidency, and it is gratifying
rejection that, differing widely as these do on
national questions Of great moment, the con.
hict as between them will be Invested Of any
apprehension that in the success of either the
Presidential office will be not filed with digni.
ty by an honorable and eminently capable
man.
Our high estimate Of Mr. Fillmore, as man
and statesman, has been frequently ex
pressed.
OF Mr.. Buchanan, it is but Just to say that
all parties recognize in him statesman O
great ability, long experience in public affairs
and moderation Of temper and dignity of de
pertinent which have won for him general es
TEEN, irrespective Of party. The political
school to which he is attached, in presenting
him as the representative Of their opinions ant
policy, have made judicious choice, and Their
opponents would feel defeat, if il should come
less senstively from the persuasion that at al
events, the Executive Office will be ably ant
worthily filed
There are two more National Conventions t.
be held during the present month: one at New
York, on the 18th, Of the American part,
North--the dissensionists from the Phiiadei
phia Convention Of Februsry--and another
