FRIDA.Y'EVENING SESSION.
Subject of Distinct rticiilation - continued,
Mr. Halt said he bad,_visifed no schools out
of Huntingdon for several years, arid had no
conception of the state of things described by
Mr. Baker. He had listened to his revela
tions with mingled feelings of mirth and sor
row. s,Could it ; he possible that in a country
like oars,- where eloquence one of the sur
est-roads to distinction, the cultivation of the_
voice in reading and speaking_ should be so
extensively rejected 1' To: him this would
-:seem impossible did he not: know the klieg
srity of the man who stated it ; and his °ppm - -
Junities of knowing the truth whereof .he
'speaks. He would not detain the Instittite
-with reflections-and arguments,, but show howl.
-teravoitied the• evil orindistinct utterance in '
his school. The organs of speech, he s said,
are, like the muscles of the, arm, improved
and strengthened, by exercise; and • when
there is; no
. mal-forMation. :of these organs,
the proper exercise of theui will secure dis
tinct crticulatieri in every case. Such.was
'his- 'eX.Oerierice. Be- commenced with - the
-first, leiter or sound he attempted to teach the
child,.and dwelt upon ,this,. and each suc
ceeding sound, until it was properly pro
nounced.' Hadid not insiSt, on loudness of
• sound, but a sudden; 'full 'and 'fre'e enmicia-
lion.- He never allowed the running of, let
ters and syllables together, but required a
complete termination of every division of ev
ery. word. His classes rose at their seats to
recite, he stood at a distance from them, arid
: ineisted. on hearing every sound- distinctly ;
if any portion of these lessons was not heard,
it was called a failure and - treated as such.—
'These-was the only means he used, and in
'Ordinary cases, nothing more-was necessary.
If the scholars are timid or bashful, exercise
the class, and sometimes the whole school in
concert speaking. This will excite and em
bolden the backward and soon,evercorne all
difficulty. If any have impediments of speech
-or confirmed bad habits, the yrequire special
attention. They should be taught the proper
'position of the lips, tongue, Sze., for the for
mation of the most difficult sounds ; should
be exercised regularly and seterely in explo
ding the elementary sounds; taking the vo-
Cals first a single element at a time, dwell
ing upon it untilit is mastered. In correct
ing bad habits - and natural impediments of
speech ; great force of utterance is requisite to
rapid improvement. The elements Should
be exploded very slowly at first, increasing
in iapibity as improvement advances. He
could point to -classes - composed of children
under twelve years of age, that had by such
training acquired a greater volume -of voice
and a much clearer enunciation' than he had,
some of them,-too, children that had lid intel
ligible language at the age of three or four
years.- -
Mr. Brigham said This subject was mere
„,
neglected than any other—its importance
was not understood in the country: 'lt had.
been his practice to teach the elements of or
thography from the black hoard, .requiring
his . scholars to commit to memory the differ
ent-. winds of - each-letter - , and also to pro
nounce them frequently and distinctly. Thia
hehari• ,found very effective in. imprpying
their articulation. •
Oh motion, Messrs. Hall, - S . angree, Baker,
Brigham and McDivitt were • appointed a
committee to prepare resolutions.
.Mr. Benedict said - it: was important in rea
ding and - conversation to-throw out ourswords
forcibly, if we wish to besupderstopd. Even
in'tbe pillpitatid at the bar . is heard'a great
deal of bad - leading,' the indistinctness ari

Isaac: Fisher,Esq.,.being called on, respon
ded in,a lengthy addrese s rich in thought el
oqbently-expressed. In the bourse of, his re
marks he: referred to Daniel Webster, John
C. Calhoun and s Henry Clay, spoke of fheir
fame as orators; and affirmed that one half
of that - fame arose .from . the fact that they
spoke the English language as it was written
by the English classiest and- from the peculi
ar passer. and distinctness- _of .their 'delivery.

Mr. lcDivitt responded, to the call of the
'lnstitute in a most - eloquent and irripreSsive
.valedictory address, which ' was :listened to
with hdeep emotion. After a. beautiful intro
ductien,.,he traced rapidly the rise and pro
gress of the Huntingdon County Teachers'
institute, and portrayed in ;glowing terries; its
present proud position. He said it was no
longer an imaginary thing, shrouded in mys
tery and imperilled by doubts, but stood forth
a thing of life, firmly planted on the rock of
enlightened resolution, and known and res
pected by the wise and good. His appeal
to the ‘.‘Old Guard," those who stood by the
i Institute in its darkest hour, was truly felici
tous. He hoped we might ever stand firm as
the guard of Napoleon. We had a more for
midable enemy to confront than the - serried
ranks and frowning columns, which crushed
the mighty Corsica on the plains of M,tater
leo. We had to contend with Ignorance, a
tyrant who holds thousands' of our fallen race
in-a thraldom more vile than Egyptian bon
dage, more invincible than- Europe!s veteran
legion,s. He glanced at the importance of ow
mission, and the`-dignity- of our tailing, and
exhorted us to keep-Our-arrnor always bright
and acquit ourselves like men.
. In speaking of the, irifluence'.for _weal or
woe, in'tinieand eternity,' which'the, teach
er's character and conduct eigerti::Orr his pa
pils,-he made a solemn appeal to parents,
pointing out their responsibilities, and .warn-
ing. them Co r be careful how, they entrust the
polishing of these priceless jewels, the in - 1 7
mortal min& of their children, to unworthy
or unskilful . : -
In concluding;
. he.hoped we might live to
enjoy many happy reunions like the.presont,
but should this ?rove -to any of 'ds'the - l'a'st
meeting on : earth, he trusted that amid:fairer
scenes and holier associations we.. might all
meet 'and mingle once .again..
A copy Of the address was requested fOr
publication, but as- Mr. spoke - Without
' uotes or previous preparation, it could riot be
procured ;.and this.brief and very imperfect.
SyliopsiS, by a member of the Institute s gives
but a-poor idea-of its excellence.
A motion.to adjourn—subject to - the'call if
the board of- Managers, was now made. Be.
fore putting thequestion the Prseident return ! .
ed thanks for he honor the . lnstitute had con
ferred upon him by selecting him to preside
over its deliberations. He Con6ratulated the
members on .the union and harmony that had
characterized their meeting, and trusted the
same feelings might ever prevail. He speke
of the interest and' profit of the discussions,
said he had learned many things he had 'nev
er thought of, and, felt as if he would
like now to take a school and teach. He ho
ped and believed that all felt benefitted and
stimulated to a further perforinance of duty,
and that all would ever 'keep in mind theltigh
and noble objects forvithieli they were asso-ciated. Ile signified his intention of holding
a number Teachers' Meetingsin different
parts of the county during the' spilng and

How the Mighty:have' . Valien. I!
Gov: PoLLocric was . elected Governor ,of
this Commonwealth by a fraction over thir
ty-seven thousand of a majority. He• was
supported as the Know-Nothing as wellas the
Whig candidate, and his election was hail
ed by members of the secret order.elsewbere
as- a most triumphant victory of "SAM," and
his peculiar principles. -The old - line Whigs
who were-induced to cast their votes for him ;
were, not, : after the election, permitted to take
to themserves . an .xota of the credit "of this
brilliant achievement._ The Know Nothings,
themselves, the Selves, achieved the victory
by fooling-the mold• liners," - and after they
had done it, they threw up their caps and ex- .
claimed, '.'the credit is ours." Mr. Diasig
received some seventy thousand votes in all,'
,and Alas result was rezarded- as a test of the
l_strength of the:req/ .Whig - party.- Since-then
however,
.we have been told that hundreds
and thonsands'
. of the :old line 'Whigs , and
Democrats 'have - joined - the organization, and
_that. now the; Know-Nothing organization has
a . decided majority in,the State. ,-It is to this
t - point to - vehicti we 'wish to direct public at
tention.
We said that GO v.'Por.r.o . c . K. received a frac
tion,over thirty-seven thousand of a majori
ty. This was effected by the united Whig
1 - force in the State, and some twenty-five thous
} and Democrats, who left our party voting for
him. But it is not - to be presumed --that eve
ry man who voted for him belongs to the se-
Bret order. - -This is the mistake ;,arid we
shall refer to a few fact's to prove - What we
Isay to be correct.
I. InJune last, • an election was held in the
city of Philadelphia for Mayor. Mr. Corr-
RAD was elected by over eight thousand ma
i jority. He received the entire knOw-Noth
•ing.vote, and the result was - regarded as the
real strength of the secret order in that city.
At the October • election, so great bad been
the change in public opinion, that 'Gov. Pox—
LOCK was only-able to- obtain a majority of
thirty-eight hundred.. Here was a falling off,
in the short space of four months, of over
four thousand. "Sam" - crowed , to be sure,
but it, was one of those "crows" which
in
dicated that he, was in rather'a sickly condi
-tion.•- •
Gov. , PoLLocx received in the city ofTitts
latirg a - majority.of near fourteen' -huvdred, and
in Allegheny city of near twelve hundred.
'An election was held in both thoSe cities lrist
month for Mayors. VoLz, the anti-Kw:4-
Nothino candidate in Pittsburg., beat MDR . -
GAN, the Know-Nothing candidate,, over four
hundred.- while ADAMS The anti-Know-Noth
ing candidate in Allegheny, beat his Know-
Nothing competitor nearly three hundred.—
Hem, then, in the short space of three months
a change was effected in, public sentiment, in
both. those. cities, of over three thousand votes.
"Sam" did not crow on
,this occasion.. He
iv asprostrate,' ., though not blind to the fact
that his power.was.departing from him, even
faster than he had acquired it.
Gov. POLLocx received in the city of Lan
caster a majority of nearly eight hundred.
This: was said :to be the real strength of
the Know-Nothing organization in. that - city:
An election was had there. for,. Mayor. last
Tuesday, and .Mr. ALDRIGHT - the KirOw- .
Nothing, candidate was - elected loy. a majority
of two hundred and sixty. Here, in the 'Short
space of four .months, there has been a failing
off, in 'the organization of nearly five hundred
votes'. Some of "Sam's" friends have been
trying to crow about this' . victory, 'but any
man of ordinary shrewdness can see that it
is the 'Crow which precedes death.
We say to our readers, these are the only
important elections which have., been held
since "Sam's" brilliant achievements in this.
State, and they pftiVe most conclusively; 'that
instead cif .the organization increasino••-in'
strength andpower, it has become manifestly.
weak. , Democrats who, pre.vions to, the.
Mayo'r's election in philadelphia;'had . jeined
the order; and assisted in the election-Of May;
or CONIIAD : saw their' error and remedied it
at the October election. The consequence
was, that the October election in that city
proved the relative strength of parties to be
the same as it was heretofore. 'ln • Pittsburg
and Allegheny cities; the samething, viccur
rec,t,- Those_ who voted for :Gov. • PoLLock,
did it in, god faith.. Immediately after the
October election 'they saw their error, . and
remedied it at the Slayor's eleetiorf. Al
though Lancaster city is the het-bed of Know
Nothingism iti.this.State, yet - the friendsol
equal rights have in fact achieved a victory.
To reduce the majority of Gov. POLLOCK
some five hundred votes in four months, was
a political feat,_ which "Sim" . has no doubt
by thisiirne learned Is not to be ' , sneezed at.'
:.We ask then, is 'there no encouragement
in all.this-3, li t he falling, off these three
elections approaches nearly eight thousand
votes;and the 'beauty 'of it is . , the :feet - has .
