I
Trustee Of the Eclectic Institute, 70 whom
the Democrat OF the 10th Instant refers, that
be himself mOst be labsfing under misaP-
prehensiOnlespee;ing ths cause we assigned |.
Tor Mr.. A. s. HAYDEE's resignation Of the
Presidency of the Institete. The truth is,
we merely stated the simple fact Of his resig-
nation, and assigned no cause PhGtsUer for it;
and consequently no eimPutation of misap-
prehensiOn, or misfnformatfon, can be true
Of us, as he supposes. He may or may not
misapprehend some other matters mentioned
in the same connection, but that is no con-
cern Of ours. We gave the announcement
as an item Of local news, as usual. Will the
Democrat make the proper correction!
1EDEPEEDENcE CELEBRATIoE.--The citi-
zens of Palmyra, irrespective Of patty, in
tend to celebrate the anniversary of our
National Independence in becoming style.
They propose to have good old fashioned
time, and extend a cordial invitation 10
everybody. We Ike the idea of these cele.
bratons. They do the people of the coun-
try good. They serve to call US back and,
lead us to dwell on the SACRED memory Of the
fathers. They bring fresh to the mind, as
so citations pleasant and profitable to all.
