our Southern brethren would take exception
70 It. II tells them, cir, only, that we regard
their peculiar views Of State government IS
rsdieally wrong that we regard the United
States government IS supreme.
Mr.. spanlding said-I am afraid 20 risk
this question Of striking ont, and l shall
therefore vote heartily for the resolutions.
On motion, tho question on the second
resolution was put, and it was adopted By
largo majority
DR.. Dorsey stated that he had not under
stood the question and had not voted, and

On motion, the second resolution was then
adopted riva UOee.
On motion to adopt the third resolution
Rev. B. Kerr Maltby spoke, deprecating
the idea of treating this matter too gingerly.
II was fact that in this matter there was
an undOubted participation in the movement
Of the South by the churchmen, and he was
not prepared to say to those that he believed
them to be good christians, and that he had
confidence in their piety. He believed that
there were no records Of rebellion like that
in which some OF our Southern brethren
were bearing part. don't believe that
man can raise his hand as an assassin to
strike blow at this government, and still
be looked upon as a pure minded christian.
On motion, the word "undiminished" in
the third resolution was stricken out.
Considerable discussion ensued upon this
resolution as amended. Hon. John ". An

co A visit to the Western Reserve Eclectic In
stitate, on the occasion of its anniversary exer-
cises, has become one of the things of course.
The Institution, now permanently established
and so widely known, is sill carried on with
its accus :omed popularity and energy.
In connection with the school are three
highly interesting Societies-the Olive
Branch, society OF young ladies, the Del
phic and Hypsrnian, for young gentlemen.
The last named society held its anniversary
exercises last evening. A large audience
found ample accommodation under the great
tent which was brilliantly Illuminated
The order of exercises, which here follows,
displays much taste in its arrangement and
TIE selection Of themes:
Oration-Cid-HazeI G. Hank, Hiram.
l. OrstiOn-Brazil-A. B. Cook, Bedford.
| Grafton The Roman Bard-S. P. Newcomb,
/ Hiram.
Discusslon--Ought Congress to acknowledge
the Independence Of thetSouthern Confederacy 2
Affirmative, ]. II Mason, Hiram Negative,
/ r. G.. Norton. Hiram.
J. Farce--The Irish Lion.
Oration-The Radical and the Conservative
/ Frank II. Mason Niles.
ontion-silent Cities-H. Clay White, New
burgh-
Co!lOquy-The Gun maker Of Moscow.
4 Valedictory-Monuments-C. A. Duley, Free
The haste of this chIrograph iorbids an
extended notice. But it would be highly
unjust to omit to mention that the young
gentlemen acquitted themselves not only
with credit equal to any former occasion,
bui with success which is an honor to
/ themselves and the Institution. The ora.
tions displayed evidence Of thorough and
critical training, and of an acquaintance
with literary sqd historical leaning, both
extensive and select.
The discussion on the question "ought
Congress to Acknowledge the Independence
Of the Southern Confederacy p was listened
to With profound attention; and the colo
guy, +" The 6unmsker of Moscow" awaken
ed an interest which scarcely permitted aay
in the large assembly to lose word.
The exercises were interspersed with vel
selected rehesrssls by the well trained "Ec
lectic Glee Association" H. s. Glasier, lead
or, and the Burton Brass Band, of which n,
praise needs be spoken to one who has ha'
the good fortune to hear them, sustained tn
whole with sdmireble skill and power.
The Commencement exercises trsnspir
to-day.
