NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF TEAcHERs.-A Conven.
in Washington City last week. The attendance
was large and the proceedings highly interesting.
The Constitution of Saturday says:
The session of this respectable and learned AS
sociation yesterday was attended by President Blu.
chanan, who was cordially welcomed, upon his en-.
trance, by the whole audience rising, and greeting
him with applause. He spent an hour listening
with attention and gratied interest to the rira roct
reports which the representatives from different
parts of the Union gave of the state of education
the school systems, the seminaries, and colleges o
their respective States.
The ladies and gentlemen of this Association, we
understand, have been most tavorably impressed by
the friendly receptions they have enjoyed from the
Chief Magistrate, and by the interest he has taken
in their proceedings"

ARRESTED FOR KIDNAPPING.--On Tuesday evening
May George, citizen of this County, was brought
before W. H. Harrison, and Jordan Wom' le Esqs, of
this City, and committed to prison charge Of kid
mapping. 1t appears that Mr.. George was found in
possession, in Lunenburg County, Va, of couple of
negro men, the property of Mr.. Williamson Page of
this County; and his manner and that of the slaves
exciting suspicion, he was arrested by Mr. S. d. Graf
ton and others and brought on here for trial Kid
mapping, that is stealing slaves is punishable with
death.
The last Wilmington Journal notices an attempt
to abduct slave from that place.
"ATTENprED ABDUCTION OF 4 SLAvE.-Yesterday
morning Rev. N. Robbins missed from his shipyard
his negro boy John, about Is years of age, and
from some circumstances, not now necessary to
state, he was led to suppose that the boy was on
board the schooner Geo. Harris cleared the previous
day for New York.
About - o'clock Mcssrs- J. NJ. Stephenson and j.
II. Funncr, with othor gentlemen, won't down
the river in boat. They came across the schooner
about ten miles down the river. After examining
the crew, a thorough search was made, and the boy
was found secreted under the floor of the cabin,
where he had got by going through the floor Of the
boobv hatch.
The boy states that two negro seamen on board
the schooner named Bill and Tom had prevailed
upon him by sundry promises to go North, and that
he went aboard on Monday night about 8 o'clock.
The boy together with the two negro seameh refer
red to, were brought to town by Messrs F. & S.,
and are now lodged in Jail.
The offence of abducting slave is capital felo
ny BY the laws of this State. These men will get
fair trial. If proved guilty, we trust that nc
mawkish sensibility-no legal quibble will be allow
ed to divert the law from its due course for the evil
has grown intolerahe, and patience has indeed
ceased to be virtue"

For the Standard.

For the Standard.
My attention has been called to an editorial refer
cnce in the Standard of the Sd instant, to the issue
between Judge Saunders and myself and particular
ly to one sentence in this article: 1--WE have no idea
that Col Gwynn intended even to the slightest ex-
tent to question his Major Rand's) veracity"
This is certainly so, and l may extend this re-
mark to other gentlemen whose names have been
introduced into this controversy. With most dis
tnct recollection of the main facts at issue, corrob-
Grated by official notes and private memoranda, l
feel justified in insisting that the collision Of state
mens where it has occurred proceeds upon the part
of these gentlemen from an imperfect recollection Of
occurrences long past
entertain for Major Rand the highest respect,
AID desire, while strictly maintaining my own posi-
ton, to concede to him unquestioned motives.

Election in Teas.

New ORLEANS, Aug. lS-The late advices from
Texas give the returns from eightytwo counties in
that State. These returns show majority for Gen.
Sam Houston independent democrat, for Governor,
of eight thousand over Hardin R. Runnels the regu-
lar democratic candidate. For Lieut.. Governor the
returns seem to favor Francis K Lubbock, regular
democrat, who no doubt is elected. For Land Com.
missioner Francis NJ. White, regular democrat, was
two thousand ahead at last accounts In the West
ern Congressional district Jack Hamilton, independ-
ent democrat, was ahead of T. A. Waul, the regu-
lar democratic candidate.
From the legislative districts we have the returns
of fifty-our members, twenty y-nine of whom are in
favor of the reelection of Gen. Sam. Houston to the
U. s. Senate. The opposition candidates known to
be elected number twenty

which will be necessary in future contests. We
must organize ia time, and prepare thoroughly for
the campaigneef 1860. Our recent reverses will
only serve to animate US to increased vigilance and
renewed exertion. North Carolina is Democratic
State; and the fact that she is so will be proclaimed
again, in unmistakable terms, in 1860.
Let US now see which side has the popular major.
ity with it in the late elections. We propose to
make not only fair but liberal calculation for our
political opponents; and we therefore estimate the
Democratic majorities in the Second and Third Dis
tricts, in which there no party contest accord
ing to the vote between Bragg and Gilmer in 1856
We might with ordinary party fairness, claim the
contest between Ellis and McRae the proper basis
for the estimate but will not hold opponents
to that. We also assume that Mr.. Branch's major
ity is larger than our opponents willing to admit
is Democratic, inasmuch as some of ''the opposi-
ton" did not vote for Mr. Sanders Mr.. BIS major
ity in 1857 was 2,571, and in 1885, 1913. Wewill
put his majority at 2,945 which is just one-haf of
the of his late over his former majority added
to the latter With this clear understanding of the
basis of our calculation, let us see the result:

az Mr.. Choate is said to have once described
the boundary line between Rhode Island and Massa-
chusetts in this language:
Why said he, "it is like starting at bush,
from thence to blue jay, from thence to hive Of
bees in swarming time, from thence to 800 foxes
with firebrands in their tails"
This language would apply as well to portions Of
the dividing line between this State and Virginia.
The bush and the bees will do pretty well for tol
erably stationary objects, but there is no counting
on the foxes running in three hundred different d.
rections and the blue jay jumping from limb to
limb"
