Every now and then some additions are
made to science. Sometimes these ad
ditions are accidental discoveries, but they
oftener result from rigid adherence to the
fundamental principles which lead to them
But it matters little how they are arrived
at, so that the advance is made and the
world derives the benefit thereof.
Science according to Webster is knowl.
edge reduced to system. This, we believe,
is the commonly accepted definition Po-
litical science, then, we infer to mean po-
iitical knowledge reduced to a political
system and the discovery to which we
alluded in our caption is in this line.
Some politico-scientifc antiquarians who
few days ago assembled in Baltimore, for
some purpose not clearly understood, (per-
haps for the prosecution of their research
esq dug up the fossil remains of two once
supposed to be somewhat noted old gentle
men, and recuscitated and furnished them
up. What is more wonderful still, they
started them on race, said race COM
mencing in the early part of May, and we
are told will continue without stoppage,
hindrance or intermission, until November
next ensuing.
What warrant these scientific gentlemen
have that these old and once decayed bodies
will keep up SO long, or that their running
gear will hold out up to the date above
mentioned, does not appear ; but that they
have started them is fact wonderfully no.
torious.
One of these fossils was said to have
once existed somewhere down in Tennes-
see, and was noted for nothing in particu-
lar and the other, tradition says, existed
in Massachusetts, and said tradition fur
ther says it was distinguished for great
worldly wisdom and great agility in get
ting through the world.
What will be the result of this move
ment, and how far it will contribute to po-
litical science, remains to be seen still,
we hope that neither the discovery or its
practical and speedy application will be
lost upon usually grateful people.

The unfinished business of the previous
day was taken up, namely, the considera-
ton OF the committees report on Canadian
affairs. On motion of Elisha Weaver, so
much of the report as related to the sepa-
ration of the British M. e. Church from
the African M. E. Church in the United
States, was adopted.
J. 2. Campbell then offered the follow
ing:
Resolued, That we adopt all that part of the
committees report which identifies Bishop Naz-
rey with the Canadian Church
Charles Burch moved to strike out all of
resolutions No. 2 and 3, and insert the fol-
lowing:
Whereas, We have hitherto felt the most lively
interest In all that pertains to the present and fu-
ture welfare of the British M. E. Church in Can
ada and
Whereas, We wish to perpetuate the most kind
and fraternal feelings to, and the most intimate
relation with that church tnat can possibly be OBJ

Resotred, That the A. M. E. Church in Ameri
ca cheerfully relinquish their claims to the Epis
copal services of Bishop Willis Marcy, and re-
speetiuliy tender the same to our sister Church in
Canada.

to make this one of the best schools in the
country, while the managers will second
their every effort by liberal expenditure.
Of the three leading teachers, Mrs,
Douglass, Miss Maps and Mr.. Bassett, no
word of commentator is needed from us.
The name of the first is identified with the
cause of education in Philadelphia, and she
still keeps on the students harness. So
also does our former esteemed and scholar
ly associate, Grace Maps, whom we left,
FIVE years ago, porting over the beauties
of Corienne, aud who, we doubt not, by
this time is both good teacher and well
read woman. The success of the graduates
tell the story of Mr.. Bassetfs abilities.
The examination for diplomas, in Latin
and mathematics, was conducted, not by
him, but by principal of one of the select
schools of Philadelphia, and by written
questions not previously seen by the pu-
pills. The number assumed to indicate
"perfect" in all the answers was ten. Young
Jones was marked in Latinnearly 9 AT, and
Nickens in mathematics nearly go. These
are very high credits in two such difficult
studies, and reflects honor on teacher and
pupils. But, before we have said anything,
our notice has grown too long, even with
out abiding to the evening exercises.
But we cannot close without saying
that the Institute is fortunate in having
the services of three other young teachers,
educated on their "native heath, amiable,
upright, intelligent and devoted, who are
an ornament both to the school and to the
community in which they live. They are
graduates, and therefore scholars, but bet
ter than all, they are models of character
that may well be followed by the young.
May Philadelphia be blessed with many
more such, and may she cherish the Insti-
tute that is doing great work in her
midst. CIR.

bats the Republicans in Washington for
political submissions sake. This is the
political gospel. We hope this, with other
things in process of development, will
bring the Republicans to a thorough
knowledge of the true state of things in
the political world around them. Stones
and brick-bats are the hardest kind Of ar
guments, and may in this case prove more
convincing than the milder and more COM
monty employed ones. We have no doubt
that more of the same substantial kind
will be employed, before the campaign is
over, throughout the southern section of
the country, where it is sworn to and sealed
that Republican, if elected to the Presi-
dency, shall not take his seat.
The Southern brethren are true philoso-
pliers. They know that an ounce of pre-
vention is better than pound of cure
They know that it is far better and easier
to stone down Republican enthusiasm, stone
out Republican back bone, stone out Re
publican votes, than to force Republican
President ''out of the White House, after
he is elected. Nothing like it, brother
Democrats and Southern gentlemen! You
take time by the forelock, and we commend
your promptness.
We would hint, however, that when Re-
publicans get in power (if by any process
they shall reach it, that they remove the
seat of the General Government out of
the foetid atmosphere of Washington to
some more fitting location, where freemen
may breathe and act as such, and where
their sentiments may not be stoned out of
them, if distasteful to their gentlemanly
opponents. Will they remember this hint

PHILADELPHIA, May 21, 1860.
Mr.. EDITOR The committee of gen.
tlemen appointed at public meeting which
was held few weeks ago, are making ex-
ertions to defend those noble men who
attempted to rescue Moses Horner. it is
to be hoped that they may meet with COM
plete success, and that these men may not
be convicted. Their case is is an import
ant one, and should be properly conducted.
/ believe it is nearly time now for the
car case to be called up that is, another
case which will affect the colored people,
either for veal or woe, when it shall have
been decided. 1t has certainly been a
long time on hand, and I have no doubt
but that some persons have forgotten all
about it. Perhaps we shall soon see
whether or not the world moves.
There is to be another meeting of SYM
pathy for those who attempted to rescue
Moses Horner, at the Philadelphia Insti-
tute tonight. A correspondent, writing
over the signature of Justitia," in the
last issue of your paper, has subjected the
case Of Mr.. VIM. Still and the report Of
the meeting of sympathy held for him in
this city, to rigorous investigation. Did
that correspondent state facts in his invest
igation would not refer to the matter at
all but there are several Objectionable
features about the criticism. 1t says !:
"One not knowing the facts in the case
would gather the impression that, for in
stance. the Rev. VIM. Douglass was at the
head of faction that came to the meeting
expressly to raise a disturbance" And
again 1t will be matter of surprise
to Philadelphians to see any one taking
liberties of this kind with gentleman of
such unusually sober and weighty charac-
ter as Mr. Douglass bears wherever ne is
known With regard 70 the impression
that may be gathered from the report Of
the meeting, I have only to say | reported
things as found them, and if "Justitia"
finds fault with me for doing that have
no more to say. But the language used

We are happy to announce to our read
ers that a reunion of Zion is now in fair
way of being contaminated. A conven-
ton was held on Monday at Newburg,
made up of the following delegates: Messrs.
w. Fl. Decker, J. W. oguen, j. Tappan,
Joseph P. Thompson, Geo. Il. Washing
ton, and Joseph Hicks, from the Annual
Conference at Newburg, under the Super
intendence of the Revs. Messrs. Simmons
and Scott samson Talbot, John P.
Thompson, Alex. Posey, John A. Will
liams, Isaac Coleman and Jacob B. Trusty,
from the Annual Conference at New York,
under the superintendent of the Revs.
Messrs. Bishop and Clinton.
The Convention was presided over by
the Rev. W. ii. Decker, assisted by the
Rev. Samson Talbot. The Revs. Messrs
R. R. Morris and VIM. F. Butler acted as
Secretaries.
Prayer by the Rev. JohnP. Thompson.
After the organization Of the Conven-
ton had been effected it adjourned to meet
at o'clock P. M. At the appointed hour
the Convention re-assembled. After it had
been called to order a resolution was Of
fered by J. w. Loguen, recommending to
the Annual Conference a reunion OF the
Connexion. 1t was lost.
The Rev. A. Posey offered resolution
that the Conference bring forth basis on
which to unite.
The Revs. Joseph P. Thompson and
John P. Thompson were appointed COM
mittee to draft basis for the reunion.
There was recess of one hour.
The committee presented the following
Whereas, The Zion Connection, through mis-
management has been divided for several years,

Sympathy with the Philadelphia
ReScHerS.

A meeting was held Friday evening,
18th inst, in Shiloh Church, to endorse,
substantially, the action of the brave men
who aided in the rescue of Moses Homer
The gathering, we regret to say, was not
large. Rev. H. H. Garnet was called to
the chair and John V. Givens appointed
Secretary. Prayer was offered by Mr..
John B. Reeve. Able addresses were
made by Messrs. Stephen Myers, VIM. J.
Watkins, VIM. Wells Brown and Rev. J.
B. Smith, and the following resolutions
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That we recognize in the heroic con-
duct of the unfortunate men now in Philadelphia
Jail, another evidence of sefsacrice to principle
another evidence that the Fugitive Slave Law
is not founded in justice and therefore not bind
ing.
RESOLVED, That we express our sympathy with
those unfortunate by making up 500, or
more, by soliciting contributionsfr from the church
es and our public meetings to help them to OBJ
tain counsel to meet their opponents in the COM
ing trial between humanity and tyranny.
A committee was appointed to solicit
contributions, and the following is the re-
suit of their labors: Collection at Shiloh
Church, $11 so; at Bethel Church, $13;
at Zion Mission Church, Sc so; by Mrs.
Mary E. Williams, 81 25; by George t.
Downing, S. %; by Fl. II. Garnet, 81;
by John " Givens, S.. Total, $40 so.
Elsewhere in our columns will be found
statement of Prof. A. M. Green, one of the
rescuers, from which it will be seen there is
a large amount still needed, and which, we
hope, will be made up by our friends here
without delay.
