' Mr - The addivss of the Rev. 3. J: Ham
wrortzdeßvered before the Washingtonians
in thecOnFt hoose,op, last,Monilay night,
is very ,much pppiauded by those
.who
heard it.
Ait:TAn impression seems , to prevail , tha
the .exhibition of the - school under the
charge of Mr. and Mrs. CATLinr, this even
ing', in the Prestiyterkan h . , par-,
•
take too much of a theatrical character.--
E Such, we arc requested, to say, is not the
design. It is merely an 'exhibition of dui
school, affording an opportunity for all to
examine and judge of the advancement of
the scholars.
GLAD, OF IT.--TtV o understand that thc
contract for carrying. the 511,1ail,daily,
from Spruce Creek to Curwen villa, titre'
this place; has beeri'aWard'edlo Mr. EDER.
It is to be carried` in foal' horse' coaches.
This is something likeirenting us as being
within the ,limits ; of the, United .States, and
after the contract goes into operation, we
way expect to hear the news of what is
going on in the world with some 'regulari
ty,' and before it hasliecome too stale to,

that his Excellency has • Made all his ap

thein
public to eipress'anner inwhich;this
delicate duty has been discharged, it is par.
titularly gratifying to the sincere friends
of the Governor to hear orto few com

would'he "something new under the sun"
if there were .none—are either those who
have over-rated their own• claims or those
of their 'friends, or:elte they' belong to the
enemy, and can't Ike wilhout finding fault
with everything the. Democrats do. It is
