Of the many educational enterprises which
have been introduced in this country, there is
none which at present occupies more prom
inent position than that of Messrs. Bryant &
Stratton, in establishing their chain of Mer-
camille Colleges. Step by step this scheme
of education has been developed by the most
antiring energy, until it has become at once
the mos. extensive and perfected system
known at the present day. The coarse of
instruction pursued IN them, through the
agency and skill of the great number of
of teachers employed, has been brought to a
wonderful state of utility,-such as was tho't
to be u1attainable by any means, save long
and laborious apprenticeship.
While the present unfortunate state of the
country has. been disastrous to all the educa-
uonal enterprises Of the country, we are
pleased to know that these Colleges have
been well sustained, and that the one located
IN this city is receiving most liberal patron

speech from LOveioy.

In our Geographic report Of the proceed
ings of Congress of last Thursday, will be
found rich moroccan for conservative Re-
publicans--those who stand by the consti-
tuition and the Union. 1t lie a synopsis Of
a speech delivered by our Congressman,
Hon. Owen LovejOy. And like all the
efuslcns which have animated from that
honorable gentlemen it is, of course, in
tensely abolition.
We cannot regard the sentiments enun-
ciated by Lovejoy with any degree Of
allowance. Expressed at time the true
friends of the Union of all political parties
are periling their lives aud pouring out
their blood to prevent its destruction, thew
can be counted little less than treason
If Congress would take such fanatics as
Lovejey in hand, instead Of trying to dis
credit the loyalty of Democrats because
they do not endorse every measure Of this
Republican administration, far better would
it be for the country and the sooner would
the unholy rebellion come to an end.
L, seems that Lovejoy can see nothing in
this fight but the negro. The requirements
of the constitution, the lives of hundreds
Of thousands of American citizens. the
prosperity and happiness of thirty millions
Of white people, and the Union itself, are
nothing iH-his eyes in comparison to the
the freedom of few hundred thousand
ignorant blacks, who are totally unified for
the position which be would give them.
Lovejoy is very anxious indeed for the
freedom of the negroes and is willing to
see the lives Of oil the white men in the
North sacrificed for that purpose, but is
very careful to keep his own precious carr
cass out of the range Of secession bullets.
Before the war began he talked ferociously
enough, but his bombastic courage and
heroism evapOrated suddenly when danger
came. lie is so cowardly even that he
wants the niggers to fight in his place.

Two of the wounded officers from Pitts

John F. CleghOrn, having arrived at their
homes in this city, were serenaded on last
Friday evening. A largo number o. our

BartlesOn, and after the playing of national
airs by the band, the brave Major made
his appearance, though suffering severely
from the loss of his left arm. He was
greeted BY deafening cheers, after which he
was welcomed by an appropriate and eIo-
quent address from VIC. Goodhue, ESQ.

and after few tunes from the band, though
suffering from severe wound in the right

to be amputated, he made his appearance.
The welcoming speech here was also made

The True Doctrtne.

The following is an extract from the
speech of Senator Browning, on the bill
for the confscation of property and the
freeing of the slaves of the rebels, deliv-
cred in the U. S. Senate on the 10th of
March:
"a state of war does not justify the civil
power in abrogating constitutions, nor in
violating the rights Of persons or property.
The right TO life, liberty, and the pursuit
of happiness, is as inalenahle in the eiti-
gen in time of war as in time of peace
and the tenure by which be holds bis prop
erty is the same, and as inviolable by the
civil authority amid domestic connections
as in the hour of greatest tranquility and
prosperity. 1t ought to be practically as
we'll as theoretically true that Govern
ment neither can or will do wrong. Its
duties to its loyal citizens remain uuchang-
ed, and their rights of person and proper
ty are, in these turbulent times, as effectu>
ally under the panoply of the Constitution
as they were before treason engendered
conspiracy, and conspiracy eliminated in
rebellion"
Nobler or truer words than the above
never came from the lips of mortal man.
and never were they more applicable and
appropriate than at the present time.
Would that President Lincoln and his
high priest, William H. Seward, were of
the same opinion. But their acts for the
past year speak otherwise. The Admins
tration has welded Its authority, issued
proclamations, made arrests, and disobeJed
legal writs, independent of the rights guar
snteed by the constitution. Our military
prisons have. for months past, contained
hundreds of loyal American citizens who
have been arrested and hurried of to their
places Of confinement without regard to
their Inalienab!e rights, and without the
| privileges of fair trial or knowing theiI
accusers. Indeed, some of the acts of thi:
| Administration would have been more APP
propriate in the days of Cromwell or Robe
spear, than in an era Of civil liberty anG
enlightenment.
We are glad that Senator Browning hal
repudiated the military necessity" scheme
The advocates of the doctrine that in :imes
of war the constitution car be abrogatet
or violated when deemed expedient by tn,
party in power, are far from being tru,
Union men or loyal citizens. If PresideD
Lincoln and our Republican Congress car
violate the provisions of the constitution
whenever they deem it required as mil
itary necessity" surely JEFF. Davis aut
his followers should not be punished TO
exercising the same power.
We are for the constitution 10 time o
war as we'll as peace. 1t is the only sur
panoply of our liberties. And Senate
Browning is ;entitled to the gratitude 0
every genuine patriot in the land, for nobl.
standing up in its defence at time whel
it is being assaulted by professed friend. q
we'll as rebel enemies.
