Jane 15, 1860, the Senate, as a committee
of the Whole, proceeded to consider the bill
(H. R. No. 338) to provide for the payment
of out standing Treasury notes, to authorize
a loan to r egula te and fix the duties on im
ports, and for other purposes.
Mr. Hunter, under instructions of the Com
mittee on Finance, moved to postpone the fur
the* consideration of the bill until the second
Monday in December-next.
Upon this motion remarks were made by
Senators Hunter, Bigler, Cameron, and Sim
mons.
Senator Hamlin said: "Mr. President, the
motion now pending beforti the Senate is one to
' defer this bill to the next session of this Con
' gress:' It is a priviledged motion, and stands
' higher in the order of privilege than a motion
' to amend.
Sanative, therefore, who, with myself, are in
favor of this bill, who' want to make a record
•' of their vote, audit' left open to discussion
' perhaps to discuss its operations , are proven
' tedSrmn doing so directly by the very order
in *blob the question is presented. A. direct
' vote upon •the bill, as the mattor now stands,
I cannot be had, nor can it be had at all, unless
' the Senate shall vote down the motion to
' postpone to the next session. There is,' I
' apprehend, no other way to test the opinions
' of.men in rega rd to thiA matter than by vot
`Aug againet the postponement and thus to
4 iitirig the question directly before the Senate.
' The only way •we can test our opinions is by
'voting against that notion.. The niotion to
' defer to the next session of Congress, prevent
! ing a vote upon the bill, and precluding all
' amendment, is the most effective that can be
made by those who are determined that no se
' tion shall be had at this session. For the
' purpose of knowing precisely how men.stand
' on thin question, I ask when the vote be ta
' ken, that it • may be taken by yeas and nays,
' and let that vote be a test upon the bill."

T: GOOD,
Chairman of the Exerntive Committee
Suppeit 'the Ticket.
The Republicans of Lehigh have selected an
excellent and uneZceptionable ticket. Every
Republican bad an opportunity of attending
the Convention. and of participating in its de
liberations, and has no reason to complain of
the result. Men, placed in nomination, can
honestly demand their party support. It is a
debt, owed by every true party man. Especi
ally at present, is it obligatory on all Republi
cans, to give our county ticket a zealous sup
port. We hive a Governor to elect. No stone
will be left unturned to secure the defeat of
Col. Curtin. Corrupt bargains have been made
with the corrupt leaders of the Bell Party to
secure their support of Henry D. Foster, for
Governor. All the differences between Break
inridge and Douglas men have „been merged,
for the time being, in an effort to elect Gen.
Foster. The GubernatOrial contest is the Ther
mopylae of Democratic hopes. Governor lost,
and all is lost; Governor elected, and there
tnay be a slim chance even in November to
effect the defeat of Lincoln. Every vote for
the county ticket, brought out, is a vote,
brought out for Curtin, and every additional
vote, produced, is a contribution to Lincoln's
election. •The Republicans of Lehigh , county,
so far as their county ticket is concerned,
should have in view more than this year's suc
cess. We have steadily gained on tho Demo
cratic Party, since 1856. For the past two
years, we have been partially successful with
our county ticket. Causes are at work, which
must insure a steady gaih in the county, in
our favor for years to come, and, if we do not
contribute to our own disaster, Lehigh county
must and will be Republican. Secure a victo
ry this fall, and we consider the question of po
litical supremacy, in the county, settled.--=
Power will pass from the hands of the Demo
cratic Party, and the Republican Party will
administer the affairs of our county, as we trust,
for the better. • Will Republicans bear these
suggestions in mind, and determine to achieve
success; if it be within the compass of steady,
persistent effort.
Assnumor TICKET.—We, this week, complete
the ticket, at the head If our paper, by inser
ting the name of James Lewis, Esq., of Car
bon, for'Assembly. M. Lewis was nominated
by the Republicans Of Carbon, on Mimday
last; and is said to be an intelligent, energetic
and popular citizen of Carbbn county. The
nomination is said to be one of the strongest
which could be made, and our Carbon friends
promise a good report for Lewis and Kistler in
Little Carbon.
MISTIKE.—Owing to an error in the copy of
the proceedings of the late Republican County.
convention, handed to us by the officers of the
meeting, Dr. S. R. Rittenhouse, of Lower Ma
cungie., was named as a rneinber of the County
Executive committee. Mr. George Ludwig is
the member of the committee from that town

los to be considered, are the ability, fitness
and claims of the• persons seeking nomina
nations. Other things:being eqiiiil, the•fittest
man should be nominated. ,-..tiklitlso the ,man,
who in view of :pad servhiealtus the strongest
claims on his party, or who is enlculfited to
poll the largest vote, other things being equal,
should receive a nomination... Let us see how
the delegate system is calculated to secure the
fittest and most available candidate, and at the
same timiLto reward deserving party , men.—.
Do such asiderationra.a general rule in the
practical.workings of the system, control nom
inations ? The delegates in each township are
fixedby a few of the
. prominent • men in the
township. The people have but little if any
thing to say, 'except to vote. The influence
of such prominent men is secured either by
considerations of personal friendship, or by
other considerations various in their character,
without regard, in the great majority °Ceases,
to the fittiess or availability of the candidates.
If there be a contest as to delegates, owing to
differences among prominent leaders, there en
sues a system of travelling through the town
ships and drumming up voters and hauling
them to the delegate election, in which money
generally accomplishes its object. The con
test then becomes an under-ground, secret one,
in which all sight is lost of fitness, availabil
ity and claims of the respective candidates.—
But it often happens that delegates .elected
and pledged to vote for certain candidates,
when once at the Convention, suddenly and
mysteriously change their Inds and vote for
entirely different oandidater What influences
have been brought to bear upon the delegates,
is- often an inexplicable mystery. At dele
gate conventions a system of political trading
and gambling is carried om which would scarce
ly be supposed possible. The delegates from
one township say to the delegates from another
township ; " you support our candidate for
COngress, and we will support your candidate
for County Commissioner, and if you do not
support our candidate for Congress, we will
not support your candidate far County Commis
sioner." Congressman was traded far County
Commissioner on Saturday kit, at the Demo
cratic Delegate Convention. It is a fact hard
to believe and yet such was the case. This
system of trading extends alike to promises of
future support for future nominations. We
need not inform our readers that a system of
political jobbing and huckstering like this is
placed beyond the power of one or a few men,
when every district may be represented 'by its
fifty, its hundred or morepersons, when the vote
'of each member of that delegation, however
humble he be, is as potent as the vote of the most
influential. We might, if we chose, advert to
a peculiarity' of our Democratic county poli
tics, which distinguishes her from all other
counties ; and that is the fact of the tremen
dous influence exerted by family ties. There
are cases, in which relationship controls nom
inations. This is a fact, however, which is
sufficiently known to the people Of our county.

Take into consideration with all this the
fact, that a Delegate Convention is held with
closed doors, in which the people have no im
mediate opportunity of watching the votes of
their chosen representatives, and we have a
system of nomination, than which a more cor
rupt one could not well ne devised. Wt art,
fully aware that there is no system Of nomina
tion, which is perfect ; that every system is
liable to its, abuse; and that the workings of
a system depends much upon circumstances.
Still we cannot refrain 'from expressing the
opinion that the delegate system as practiced
in the Democratic party in our county, is one,
most liable to abuse, and which should be
speedily abolished for the sake of the public
welfare. if the Democratic party of Lehigh
county is to hold the reins of power in its
hands.
Citizens of Lehigh county, you have this
fall an opportunity, so . far as your County of
fices are concerned, of closing between Coun
ty tickets nominated upon two entirely differ
ent plans, and it is for you to say whether you
will ratify the action of a packed and faith
breaking Democratic Delegate Convention.
IDemooratto County Ticket
The Democratic Delegate Convention of this
county met at the public house of Mr. Frank
lin_Balliet,. op Saturday last, and nominated
the following ticket:
Coegress—Dr. Thomas B. Cooper, of Saucon
township.
Assembly--:-W. C. Licht%nwalner,• of Upper
Macungie.
' Clerk of the Courts—Bone Hausman, of Al
lentown.
Prothonotary—James Lackey, of Allentown.
Register of Wills—Jacob Slemmer, of Allen
town..
Commissioner—George Neumoyer, of Lower
Macungie.
Director of the Poor—Leonard Moyer, ° of
Upper Macungie.
- Coroner—Dr. E. G. Martin, of Allentown.
Auditor—Joel Stettler, of Heidelburg.
Trustees—Mark S. Yonng, Charles Becker, of
Allentown.
So far as the county house officers are con
cerned, the result is considered, as a triumph
over the rotation men. •
In regard to Congress and some other por
tions of the ticket, it is claimed, as a victory
of the Breckinridge over ,the Douglas men.
From all that we can learn; the friends of
Breckinridge scent to be very much pleased
with the result.
TIKE OPPOSITION OF BERKS.—The Opposition
of Berke county met in convention, at Reading,
last week, and nominated the following ticket.
For Congress, ( L'isexpired Term,) Capt. Jas.
McKnight, of Alsace; ( , Regular Term,) Levi
B. Smith, of Robeson ; Senate, Aaron Mull, of
Spring ; Assembly, John B. Holloway: of Ami
ty, William Taylor, of Marion, Dr. Jeremiah

son Varner, of Bernville ; Commissioner, COn
rad Reber, of Penn ; Director, Jacob S: Ebliog,
of Reading; Auditor, G. B. Horlocher, of
Windsor. •
The ticket is said to be strong and popular,
and we are assured, that a good report may be
expected from Berke, at the October election.
Storrs or THE TIMER.-At a municipal elec
tion held in New Haven, Connecticut, on Fri
day last, in which the supporters of Dreckin
ridge and Douglas were thoroughly united,
and the election warmly contested, the Repub
licans triumphed by 100 majority, showing a
gain of 200 since last Spring's State election.
Connecticut since the desperate fight Of last
spring has been abandoned by the Democracy
as a hopelessly Republican State.

'now. turn their attention to Pennsylvania, as
the last plase, in which to hope for a ohanceof

as matters now stand in Pennsylvania, there is
no chance for Democratic success in the.Statt
In November, such are the divisions of.the
Democracy, Lincoln is sure, at least, to have a
plurality of the popUlatvote in the State, and
as we believe, a large majority: ^
The Fiepublioana triumphant in Blaine
We last week gave to our readers the result
of the election in the State of Vermont, show
ing decided Republican gains in the State,
claimed by Stephen A. Douglas as his birth
place, and which he recently travellathrough
on his electioneering tour. Senator Douglas
also paid particular attention to the State of
Maine, and in view of the close contest in
three of the Congressional Districts in 1858,,
and of supposed aid fro% the Bell men, it was
expected, that the Bemooracy could at least
carry several of the Congressional Diatsta,
if not the State for Governor. The reimltims
been a Republican triumph beyond all that
the party ever claimed. Israel Wasburne is
elected Governor by a majority of 18,000 or
20,000, whereas only 10,000 was. claimed be
fore the eleotion. In the three doubtful Qin
gressional Districts, the Republican majority
has been tripled since 1858. A Legislature
has been elected, which will ensure the return
of a Republican United States Senator:—
Maine was taken in charge by the special
friends of Senator Douglas, and the result has
shown his strength. The hand-writing hi on
the wall and 'the Democracy see, fear and
tremble.
i[3The Hon. William L. Goggin on Thurs
day evening addressed the Bell and Everett
party :in Peteraburg, Va. His 'views upon
the stability of the Union were clearly expres
sed in the following words : • "There conld be
no.danger of a dissolution of the Union, no
matter who was elected." His opinion of Mr.
Lincoln finds' no less . clear expression in the
following language : " During the whole
course of my connection witlihiin'in the House
of Representatives, I must say that I have
ever known him to be a gentleman. He is
not what the Brockinridge party insinuate him
to be. I Wish to do justice on all sides.
[Cheers.] If you want to know who Mr. Lin
coln is, go and ask S. A. Douglas with whoin
he stumped every county in Illinois. [Cheers]
Yes, go and ask Mr. Douglas, whether Abe
Lincoln is a rail splitter ownot. , [Loud Laugh
ter.] Ask him whether he is a Democratic
mauller or not. [Continued Laughter, and
(Ales of "MN Ir' - "Gaon :" it was my good
fortune whiff; I was a member of the House of
Representatives to be on a Conunittee with him.
I was chairman and I will say that no man
on that Committee worked more industrious
ly than he did. He is a man of a high order
of talent, and when he spoke no man was list
ened to, by.thoso who were in that House as
visitors, with more apparent'satisfaction. His
private as well as public character was free
from stain or blemish. •
Afa. ONE WAY.—Tioga county, forming part
of the Congressional District of the gallant and
indomitable Oaluslia A. Grow, is represented
as being almost unanimous for the Republican
nominees. In the borough of Knoxville, there
aro sixty-five voters ; sixty-four of them are
Lincoln men, and the solitary democrat is a
Breckinridge man. In the borough of Elk_
land, there are eighty-six voters; eighty-one
of that number are for Lincoln, the other five
are divided between Breckinridge and Dou
glas. The Democrats are so scarce that the
rail-splitters are obliged fa maul each other
to get up an excitement. Douglas had -better
go there on an electioneering tour, the six
democrats then would not stand alone in their
glory, but would become Lincoln men,—vide
Maine.
DOUGLAS AND THE TARIFF.—On OUT first
page, will be found Douglas' record as to the
tariff. In his late 'speech at Harrisburg, he
deplored the indifference of the national-gov
ernment towards the petculiar interests of
Pennsylvania. lie asserted the right our
State had to that protection, and. applauded
the principle of a pruteetive tariff as a relief
for all its troubles. We have published what
he has said heretofore on the same subject, and
wo would call the attention of the citizens of
this county to it, so that they may know, how
much reliance they can place upon what he
says. The record will speak for itself.—
Read it.
SL I MIX ATTENDED.—The attendance at the
Democratic County Convention, on Saturday'
last was slim, compared with what might tuive
been expected at a County Convention held .
during a Presidential canvass. )Ve are also
told that the same enthusiasm was not wit
nessed during the proceedings of the Conven
tion as is generally the case. The truth is that
there is a general feeling in the Democratic
ranlyc, that the party is in the wrong, and that
the best thing, which could happen for its in
titre prospects, would be a severe defeat.
STRAIGHT DOUGLAIS ELECTORAL TICKET.—The
friends of Douglas have, at last, framed an
electoral ticket of men, who are pledged to
vote for Douglas, if elected, and for Douglas
only. The selection of this ticket compelled
the Douglasites to strike from the list of elec
tors, nominated at the• Reading convention, a
number of persons, who had given thlir adhe
rence to the plan of fusion, adopted at CresSon,
by the Democratic State Central Committee.
CARL SCHURZ IN ALLENTOWN.—We once
more call the attention of the citizens of this
county to the fact, that Carl Sohurz will ad
dress the Republicans of this and the surround
ing counties, on litioday evening next. We
trust, that there may be a general Earn-out, on
the part of all political parties to. hear one of
the " greatest of living statesmen !"

the size of a bird's egg down to an ordinary
pea. In the centre of one of the stones a piece
of straw about an inch in length was imbeded.
The patient was put under the influence of
chloroform and about half an hour was occu
pied in performing the operation.

and 'continued until tlie4iveinlbj; of AViim,

tion of the scholars of the Inst.'Ution , pO4
was held.
' •
~T he students were .examined thir:Latin;
Greek, German and Engirt;V .- languages. In`
Latin, the• class ir. Virgil and Cicero's orations,
especially distinguished Itself. The same is
true of the class in Homer's Iliad. The high
est satisfaction was expressed, by competent
plirtOnkbeth - with the teacher of these; classes
;klifir.',',llOffoi l / 4 1,)-'and 'with the progress Of the
students themselves. In Matherriatice, the
• examinations were conducted by Mess's. Hof
ford-and Laßue, and the students were exam
ined in Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry, Trig
.otibmetry.mand:surveyingg. 'Fheclaseesrnthese
branches were unusually fat advanced, consid
ering the time which'. they had devoted to
them; and lathe examination, the most diffi
cult problemeyinvolving long and intricateilein
onstrations, were selected at random and were
solved with great rapidity, ease and accuracy.
The classes in the German language and ,the
history of German literature, under the tuition
of the Rev: Dr.. John S. Kessler, showed very
commendable progress, and the examination
established the thorough acquaintance of their
teacher with his peculiar department. A class
of:quite young students, under the tuition .of
Mr. D. E. Schmdler, called forth the highest
encomiums, for the manner in which they ac
quitted themselves in 'English grammar.—
They were put to a severe trial, and answered
almost every question with the utmost readi
ness and accuracy. A. more advanced class,
under the tuition of Mr. Hofford, proved them- .
selves masters, to a very high degree, _ of the
English language. The young ladies, under
Miss A. E. Aiery, acquitted themselves in a
very satisfactory Manner, in:Peography; Eng
lish Grammar ; Familiar Science, &c. „Neglect
to takg full notes, and want of space prevents
us from entering more into detail. 'Upon the
whole, fewer dull boys and dull young ladies
were seen, than is usually the case on such . oc
maims. This speaks well for the talents and
industry of the students, and for the competen
cy of their teachers. The intelligent and ap
preciative audience in attendance, was agree,
ably surprised, and generally, highly delight
ed. Occasionally a performance in vocal 'mu
sic, under the direction of Prof. C. F. Herr
mann, a declamation, or an original essay was
interspersed:
On Friday evening an entertainment was given,
consisting of declamations, dialogues, original
orations and essay* These exercises were held
in the main sehooltoom of the Institution. At
an early hour, thitiAoom, as well as adjoining
rooms 'opening into it, and the various halls
leading Wit, were crowded to overflowing with
an intelligent and appreciative audience; and
many were compelled to, forego the anticipat
ed pleasure, not being able to gain admit
tance. After an appropriate prayer, Mr. D. F.
Schcedley delivered, in the German language,
an appropriate Salutatory, in which after wel
coming. the audience to this "feast of rea
son," ho briefly sketiThed 4liet history of the
language in which he spoke, and its literature,
and urged its great merits upon the attention
of all aspiring to a " liberal education." This
performance was very creditable to its authiw
and the Institution. It evinced Mr. S's indus•
try in research and the ability of his respect
ed teacher. Many a similar performance, on
graduating day iu higher Institutions, falls be;
low this, in intrinsic merit, and in the manner
of delivery. The salutatory was followed by. a
series of dialogues and declamations, inter
spersed with yerformances in vocal c.—
This part of the entertainment was spirited
and , highly creditablC to all concerned. An
Essay, on "Manual and Mental labor," was read
by Mr. S.' S. Bachman, which evidenced much
correct thought, and was written in a chaste
and comparatively elegant style. The original
orations—one. on "Intellectual Cultuire," by
E.. Dillon Egan, one on the "Future nf Adler
ica," by J. Sykes, and the " Valedictory," by
A. S. -Gerhard—closed the exercises. These
last named gentlemen acquitted themselves
well, both its to •matter and manner. The va
rious performances in yore musk showed very
•comin,ndable progress in this department, es
pecially as regard.s 4 thorough cultivation of
car voice anti act:urine trattulug t an tu time.
An evidence of the efficiency of this Institu
tion, iv the cause oNlMtation, is the fact, that
a number of its - sfudents are prepared, from.
time to time,, to 0 ntiW,adVarieed classes indiigh
er Institutibns of,teaentng. With the close of
the present terni, three of the students enter
the Sophomore class in Franklin and Marshall

An especially gratifying feature in all e
nected with the present occasion, was the spii:
it of christian order and kindness, which seem
ed to pervade all hearts, and the therousghevitn
gelical christian faith, which pervaded the
original essays and orations. No effort, what
ever, is made in the Institution to impart a
sectarian bias, but the positive •truths of reli
gion are inculcated from the pure word alio/ 1 i
all the teachers themselves' being thoroughl
evangeliCal in their faith. It is ?nly na
that, under such inatintilig;.iluite n niimber'o
the pupils stionld'devote themselves, from time
time, tii-the Offiee and'ivork of the christian
ministry in vario7ailenominations of ourlritid.
This religious lifeand spirit, which is 'Alms
awakened and festered by the InstitittAini
should; abeve all else, recommend it to thile
ronage of all ehristians, who are, though- At
may be only remotely, interested in the eau
catimi of the young. Too much stress cannot
possibly be laid upuer this point ; for, without
religion there can be no education deserving
the name.. The mind is truly developed, only
so flu- as it is brought into contact, and under
the influence of truth in a living form. Truth
alone is truly logical and consistent, and only
in proportion as the . mind is brought under
the power of its unerring laws, can it be said
to expand. Revealed religion brings us into
living communion with the absolute truth, the
great central Sun, from which the rays of liv
ing light radiate over all forms of existence,
material, intellectual and moral. Only as the
mind rises tio.conun tttt ion with truth in this
form, does it enter upon the field of its highest
attainments. Truth itself, when hail only in
a mere formal and fragmentary manner, apd
without a living communion with the absolute
fountain of all truth, is turned into error and
falsehood, and tends to a miserable perversion
of the intellect and the morals.
,Thm involves
a point then, in regard to which parents can
not possibly be too solicitous. Long before all
inquiry, in regard to prices of tuition, should
they inquire into the religious elements, which
pervade,the Institutions, in which the young
mtellect is to be led up to religious manhood.
Neglect on this point ie utterly criminal and can
only be fraught with the worst of eonsequen-
Ceti.

exciting one, and the whole Democratic vote
of the Borough was polled. The Hatter ticket
