OmcIa1 Programme OF the Exercises.


We have heard q good deal about 1eariu,
"NeW England ont in the cold" as If sh

Union, and only 1T to teach school, writ
books, and keep the commandments. "
are clad that che is at for SO much, even +,
the estimation of those who are unftiendl,
to her; and 50 far from keeping her out Ii
the cold, wa ought only to be too glad t
keep her at all, and in our Judgment, tn
highest honors. and the highest places in th,
land are not whit too good for her.
She is undoubtedly the salt Of these States
and hers are the intelligence, nobility, ani
virtue which keep the compact strong, and
sweet. We don't mean to say that there Il
no goodness ont Of New England, or that she
alone can Hhittle, and make wooden nut
mege, but We do say that If she really were
left out in the cold, there wouldn't be many
warm firesides left for an honest mau to sit
by. In other words that New England, in spite
Of the Copperheads, isa "trump." We are all
Of us proud, too, Of the nasal States

gowns and pettlcoats- we remember that
many good things have come out Of them,

seeing that the "hnb" Is q genuine fact and

they talk hifalutin, now and then, about
them. -.
Whatever they may be, however, In respect
Of an almighty conceit of themselves, they
are, very clearly, not Of malicious or unfor.

hardly be called PuTitanic, for their old pray

poor sinner who Ind ptlted them with hard
names, who had mocked them, and cried unto
them Ike the little boys In the elder Times Of
the Hebrews.

the copperhead cry to keep them. out in the
cold; and now. even whilst We write, hun
dreds Of New England people are either in
the city, or on their way to it, determined to
begin to hate the West, because the copper
heads wanted to be SO very unkind to them.
They want to show us that they are q biz
hearted, and generous, I'd well as q big headed,
and intelligent folk, and they come here to
offer us friendly hand, and many an old fash
,oned curtsey to signify heir lore for Us,

thus have saved themselves Above thousand
miles Of travel, and considerable more than q
peck Of troubles, to say nothing Of the pecunia,
Which they hive incurred by coming fre or SIX
hundred strong to this well.Eorth- seeing city
Of Chicago. But they wanted to 1et us see
that they were Lot exactly wild beasts to be
Kept ont In the cold, but decent, respectable
male fellows, mud frmale.fellows, worthy Of
the friendship even Of the Great West.
The preliminary business Of this great
Teachers Association, will open this l1orn-
Ing ut O'Clock, In the Briggs House, md the
meeting will then adjourn to Bryan Hall,
where The lectures md speeches will bs delty-
cred. We hope to make full report of all
the things Nhich they may do, not only to-day
Int throughout the whole Of their sittings,
bnd We hope and believe that good under
standing and noble and genuine friendship
will forever after exist between the East and
the West.
