On motion, the HON. JOB MANN was called
to The chair. On taking bis seat Mr.. MANN said
that Vi was well known that Mr., DoUGLAs had
not been his first choice for the nomination, but
that since he had received that nomination reg
ularly and fairly, he Mr.. Mann like every
true ard generous Democrat should and will, had
made up his mind to give it his ardent support.
Mr.. Mann said his first choice as Mr.. Breck-
inridge, but be could no longer endorse that
gentleman's course, and he was now for Ste

Rainsburg Seminary.

MR., EDITOR -
Desiring little relaxation and
episode from the routine OF ordinary engage
ments, we went wr!h the crowd TO Ralnsburg.
on the Dist ut., TO be refreshed with the exer-
| clses OF their Seminary commencement. Ba-
ting little annoyance from heavy shower
every thing passed off, not only TO the salisfac-
lion but to the admiration of all. The very
excellent compositions, essays, debates aud
speeches OF the young ladies and gentlemen did
honor, not only TO their heads, hearts and man
ners, but also reflected great credit upon their
accomplished instructors. We were especially
delighted with the ease and freedom OF the stu
dents, as we'll as the absence OF that hauteur, so
frequently seen, and indicative OF either little
minds or imperfect training. A graduate al one
our colleges who was present, remarked that the
speeches oil the young men compared favorably
with those usually heard at College commence
ments. MIR. Osborne, the accomplished and gem
tlemanly Principal, together with hls assistants,
seem to understand well how to develop latent
ability. Upon other occasions we have been
present al the examination OF the classes and
observed that the same thoroughness of drill had
been had, in the department OF their studies,
that was manifested here.

vantages over larger and more public places
Students have here less to divert and distract
their minds, circumstances favorable alike to
advancement in their studies and mental discip-
Ilne Again, in such place their morals are
less endangered. This, though, mentioned last,
is by no means least in the estimation of parents
or worthy guardians. We had almost forgot
ten to mention that the Cumberland Brass Band
was present, and most delightfully."- interspersed
the exercises with excellent music Rainsburg
was probably never so crowded, as may be in-
ferred from the fact that to afford accommoda-
tions for the night, it was necessary, as the best
thing that could be done, to stow away tUe
preachers an one bed, which, however, was so
divided pece-meal between them that it is said
no bones were broken.
