gard to the "Teacher's Cannon Fund."

had failed to see him, the Committee were not
able to report at present.
Dr. LOOMIS, of Allegheny College, proptsed
that the resolution offered by Dr. JWINSON, of
.Dickinson College, yesterday, be taken up by
the Convention at half past eleven o'clock, for
discussion and voted on at le o'clock.
Dr. KENNEDY, of Philadelphia, addressed
the Convention at some length on the absolute
and relative condition of Colleges.
President LOOMIS, of Allegheny College, ad
dressed the Convention on the great subject of
harmonizing Mot only the various systems of
throughout the State, but also harmonizing the
representations of those institutions.
Dr. JOHNSON, of Dickenson College, ad
dressed the Convention on the fundamental
idea of colleges, the most appropriate studies to
be pursued there, and their relation to theprao
deal wants of the community generally, and
the wants of colleges. The remarks of Dr. J.
were somewhat lengthy and replete with inter
est and instruction. The reporter regrets very
much that time will not permit him to furnish
even a synopsis of the address.
President LOOMIS, of Lewisburg 'University,
then spoke at some length and very ably on
the true relation of Colleges to the educational
system of the State and the interest of the
State in fostering those institutions.
Dr. TAYLOR, of Chester county, made some
remarks, tne object of which was to refute the
idea which might obtain in the public mind
from remarks heretofore made, that we were
building. up an aristocracy by means of appro
priations horn the State. The Dr. in the
course of his remarks took occasion to pay an
eloquent and glowing tribute to Hon. Thadeus
Stevens, of Pennsylvania, whose voice he had
while yet a boy,..in the adjoining Cham
ber, iii teas 'earieitness , ruld eloquence, and
in defiance of the elements of opposition with
which he was surrounded, advocating a system
lof educating the chiairen .the poor at the ex
phiike of ihuse who hdie money:. He advocated
a system of schools, of all. cha.racters• and of,
various grades each performing its tart; tr"

the position of Academies and Seminaries.
Rev. Prof. DODGE spoke in regard to the spe
cial connection of Female Seminaries with the
system.
Dr. GERHART of Franklin and Marshall Col
lege, spoke ably on the true relation of the col
leges to our educational system and the com
munity generally as well as the reciprocal rela
tion of common schools to academies, colleges
and universities, .and the dependence of colleges
or common schools.
The Chair here announced that the time had
arrived for the special order of business, the
resolution offered. by Dr. Johnston yesterday in
regard to the proposed State aid to the higher
institutions of learning.
Dr. JOHNSTON advocated the fostering of
all institutions of learning by Legislative ap
propriations. r
.Rev. Mr. HAY, of Harrisburg, said the State
of Pennsylvania had been for years a beggar at
the door of her colleges. She had been reaping
the reward of the labors of. those who had been
educated at the expense of Christian communi
ties, and the debt should now be paid. He
wished to see the daywhea our public schools
would be.solialaried and offic.ered that our sem
inaries and acildeadesVould be - , nowhere and
the poorest man's' child could be educated up
to the highest point, an be enabled to pass
from thence• to professiOrild training.

on the subject • Next door to the Harrisburg Beak Mairket Square,
Mr. CRUISHANK explained his remark-;in in ,
regard to evangelical institutions.
Dr. KENNEDY asked for a slight modifica-.
'tion of the , resolution, by which a committee I
could be appointed to report at the next
session.
The Chair explained that the adoption of any
such resolution was not contemplated as the ob
ject which brought together. the Convention;
and thought it premature, now as we do not
sufficiently understand ourselves or each other
at present, to justify us in taking this' measure.
It • ~
might comlicate us with present public
•
opinion and prevent the adoption of that grand
idea of our educational system, consisting not
of one but of all"-classes of schools, having a
claim to public support and the future care of
the Commonwealth.
Dr. JOHNSTON proposed instead of memo
tializing the Legislature to consider the propri,
ety of doing so.
After a few further remarks the resoletion
was withdrawn. • -
Prof. LOOMIS proposed a committee of three
to report at next session on the different topicS
presented. Agreed to.
Dr. KENNEDY proposed that a committee

which they had discharged their duties. •

The Deputy State Superintendent, at the re
quest of the President, addressed the Conven
tion, 'giving his reasons for not participating in
the exercises on account of ill-health.
The President in conclusion addressed to . the
Convention a few - feeling, appropriate and en
couraging remarks. He returned his thanks
for the manner in which they 'had sustained
him and in which they had received the idea
which had called them together. The meeting
ivas not intended to be one of strict parliamen
tary proceeding, but to bring together:all con
nected with this noble enterprise of elevating
the minds of the people. For this reason he
had ventured to assume the task of presiding,
but hereafter would retire, and next year would
be satisfied by taking a seat in the outer circle
to benefitted and instructed by their delibera
tions. His chief glory would be to be 'connected
with the, idea without undertaking the guid
ance of the enterprise any longer. He wished
to correct a slight misunderstanding in regard
to the object of the meeting. It never was in
tended that the various departments of educa
tion should be made one consolidated system,
but only to harmonize and co-operate with each
other. Among the unpleasant duties re
maining was to bid each 'other a final
'adieu. It was probable we would not all
:meet together again.. His own uneasy hearted,
unregulated throbbings, admonished him that
;his.departure front life would be sudden, and
!that-he might not have the privilege of meeting
them again; but if such be the case; the events
of this meetino - b would recur as one of the most
pleasant events of his life,and amongst the things
not to be repented of.' Bidding them all an af
fectionate farewell, he declaredihe Convention
adjourned. '

1 am instructed to expreti to you his great eats
isfaction with those proceedings, which are di F ,=
tinguished equally by their patrioticsentiments

to our system of government that it has ena
bled the American people to enjoy unmolested
more of the blessings of Divine Providence which
affect the natural conditions of human society
thananytitherpeople everertjoyedtogether, with
a more absolute degree of religious liberty than
before. Thelnstitution of that great Goverinnent
had ever, been holied &riot* meh. overthrow
of the Government might therefore, justly be
regarded as a atlamity not only to this , nation
but to mankind. The President is _assured of
public virtue and of thepublic valor, but this
is unavailing without the favor ,of God..
The President.thanks you for your invocation
of the indispensable support, and he earnestly
solicits the same. bavocations from all classes
and ednaitions of men,believing that those pray
ers will not be dieted by the God of our fathers.
He trusts and expects that the result of this
most unhappy attempt- at revolution will con
firm and strengthen the union of the Republic,
and ultimately renew the fraternal affections
