Gentlemen : You have now passed
through the curriculum of a liberal educa
tion, and received the honors to which
3'our diligence and proficiency entitle you.
In addressiug you now for the last time as
your President, it is not with the hope to
make up my manifold deficiencies as a tea
cher, nor for the mere purpose of perform
ing an appropriate ceremony, but in order
to avail myself of the last opportunity of
suggesting useful hints, and to express, on
behalf of the Faculty, in this public man
ner, our sentiments of affectionate regard.
A host of topics present themselves as
suitable for parting words, but the occasion
limits me to two or three, and in choosing
those I am led not by the opportunity they
afford of exhibiting my rhetoric, nor even
by their pre-eminent importance above all
other counsels : but I limit mvsclf to these
because I can not say much, aud these j -their id shape fits with nothing, aud works j no longer. O, my young friends, rcniem-

Any one who has observed carefully the

and bitterness, keeping themselves fevered
by excitement, or irritated by opposition,
and are generally nullified by defeat.
True benevolence is general, as well as
ardent ; as universal in its aims, as it is
vivid in its degree ; not only earnest and
self sacrificing, but embracing all proper
and not a requirement. The life of Christ ! e Division question as much as

such a perversion is, in intention and in

But the examination of the Whig vote
polled, also testifies that the nominating

Having thus given the facta and the
figures in the case, we remark in closing,
that the Division question is yet to be
decided. If the machinations of the Hciin
bach party at New Berlin succeed in mis
leading the people by diverting them from
the true issuo at present, they will only
postpone the evil day. Hundreds of reso
lute men are determined not to let the
question rest until it is fairly and noN-

Fasten your mind on the question, and
if it be an important one, fast, pray, seek
advice, reflect, bring before you every cir
cumstance and consequent, then determine,
and, after such decision, let the matter
stay decided. Treat every doubt, which
docs not grow out of some new considera
tion, as a temptation of the devil, or a
weakness of your own j udgmcnt Let the
worst come, you will be secure of having
the consciousness of having endeavored to
do right, and this, after all, is niau's high

longer you live, the wore will you see
the consequence of proportion and adjust

termined by a comprehensive recognition
of what is good and true. Splendid geni
uses have flatbed their brilliancy on aston
ished communities, V,iU the glory of their
talents was dimmed by the faults of their
lives ; and while they dazzled, they led
a?traj. Even the lcncvolcnt apostle of

From this time to the election, the Tent
will go where most can be effoctcd. The
tree must either grow or decay, and our
moral condition will always conform to our
moral acts. He who acts for self, nour
ishes his bad attributes, and makes war on
all that could ennoble hiin.
same Slar, of the 18th ult., has the hardi
hood the unblushing effrontery to state
as follows :
" lid do not hrjierc tliat l7in nomination
of our present Ticket is no left on the Divi
sion ipiestion, but on the contrary, that that
domination is a test, and mas on all hands
intended so to he before it teas made."
Let us examine the case in detail.
In tho first place, Mr. Simonton has but a
littlo over one-fifth of the vote of the
county.! 2d. Many in White Deer, Kel
ly, Buffaloe, Lcwisburg, Chapman, Wash
ington, and other towns who did not vote
for Mr. Snyder, are decidedly in favor of
Division, and will vote for it. Sd. Twenty
times the effort was made for Simonton
that was for Snyder effort in time, men
and money. The Caucus ticket had every
candidate nnd many of their friends at
work, throroughly and systematically.
New Berlin men canvassed the Beavers
from door to dosr. The opponents of the
Caucus had no unity of action, and their
vote was scattered. 4th. Some who were
deceived on the Bribery humbug, now un
derstand vho deceived them, and why.
5tb. The Democratic strength is mostly
around Selinsgrovo and Lcwisburg, and
that parly elsewhere is more generally for
Division than the Whig. The reason is.tbal
County Buildings. The following is the
vote for Commissioner, and when compared
with that for Representative will be addi
tional proof that no such teat was made

i hands, but the fellow claimed the protec
tion of his master and his suite, who, of
j course, all took his part, and supposed
their diplomatic character would enable
him to get off with impunity.
Mr. Smith, tho conductor and ajrent.
Immediately waited on the Minister in the
car, stated the case, and civilly but firmly
remarked that such an nnprovoked out
rage could not be tolerated here; and
wound np by expressing the hope that the
Minister would end the business, as he
easily could, by apologizing. j
The Minister smiled. Apologize! Didj
monsieur le condwteur know whom he was i
addressing ? It was M. Alexandre Bodis- j
co, Ambassador of the Emperor of Russia! j
Mr. Smith coolly replied, that, if he
was the Emperor of Russia himself, he j
was entitled to an apology. And he ad-1
ded, that, until he got it, that train would J
stop where it was, in the Syracuse depot, j
Great was the iudignatii n of the circle ;
when this audacious speech was translated
all around it, and it was found that diplo-1
matic proceedings were so) suddenly brought i
to a stand-still. Terrible oaths were sworn '
at the conductor, tbc railroad, the compa
ny, the country, the everybody! But
as they were all in Russian, they did not
hurt anybody.
'I order this train to go on ! " said the
Envoy Extraordidary and Minister Pleni
potentiary, stepping out on the platform.
The passengers stared. Bystanders wink
ed at each other. The little popcorn and
candy boys opened their eyes wide at the
man with the long beard, and thought he
must be crazy. But the train did not
budc an inch.
"I order this train to go on!" repeated
M. Bodisco, bringing his cane vehemently
down on the platform, by way of emphasis.
No result. The smoke curled lazily up
from the locomotive, and the fireman and
engineer leaned back on the wood-pile to
enjoy the fun.
Fortunately at this moment a Washing
ton acquaintance, who happened to be on
board, camo out, and undertook to explain
American customs to the Ambassador. A
long colloquy ensued in some foreign
tongue, which nobody understood. The
npshot of it was, however, that a hand
some and courteous apology was tendered
and received the Minister adding that
his ignorance of the language and cus
toms of the country had led him into a
mistake. The whistle sounded, the bell
rung, and away went the train, carryiug
two or three wiser people out of Syracuse
than it brought in half an hour before.
It is barely possible that M. Bodisco s
labors with the press may terminate in a
similar way. After all, t is the educa
tion, not tho man, that li to blam.. M.
Bodisco is a sensible and accomplished
gentleman, as such things go in Russia.
There, his requirements would bo treated
as perfectly reasonable and proper. Per

Now, Bodisco, den be quiet,
Hold that pesky tongue o'yourn;
Wii must you be raisin' riot,
Allcrs some new trouble brewin.
Keep your temper, frosty stranger,
Cool and sleek as Russian sleet;
There's a mighty sight o' danger
Bein' riled, in such a heat.
Teople brings on apoplexy,
Fumin' so, and gittin' hot
Don't let that-er trouble vex ye,
In the little brains yu've got.
Where's the use of makin' trouble,
Tryin' to drice them papers in ?
Pay 'cm, man, they'll all see doubla '
For you, if they hear the tin.
Foke 'em in the ribs with praises,
Give the creturs golden fruit;
Then they'll do your work like blazes,
. Fo'lowin' in your master's suit.
Can't you see that "Union" paper's
On your side, in every 'bout;
But it must'nt let our people
Find its secret likiu' out.
Don't bc cuttin' any antics
Wiih your ugly Russian bear J
Our backwoods is full of Bruins,
Furrcn ones is nothing rare.
Yankee natur can't be bullied,
P'raps its mighty easy bought;
But 'twas never seen a runnin'
When it ought to stood and fought
Halt upon your tracks, and listen-
Don't you hear the mighty roar
Of the first great gun of Freedom,
Thunderin' on tbe Turkish shore T
Boom in' o'er the tremblin' waters,
As they swell to bear the sound
Onward to the mountain echoes,
Wakin' up the nations 'round 1
What's them echoes but the voices
Of the mighty dead of old,
As the hero-host rejoices
0 er Freedom's summons bold !
jva tight witn air creation,
Take advice from one who knows;
If you reuse the Yankee nation,
Turnin' it from trade to blows ;
And above your kings and kingdoms,
If our banner'd eagle screams;
And before your marshall'd armies,
If our sword of Freedom gleams
You'll see sights, most noble stranger,
Never seen on earth before ;
When the people's great avenger
Sweeps to triumph, evermore;
When around your kings their kingdoms
Rattle like the summer hail;
And their vast and dread defences,
In the hour of trial fail !
Bettor soothe the Yankee dander
Keep the pesky fellers home ;
To the common field of Europe,
Let no Yankee standards come.
You've enough to meet and manage,
If yur re p!e's fl-ig, unfurled.
Summons all their startled rulers
To tbe "combat of the world ;"
When the mighty wo of ages
Mingles in their battle cry,
And the wronged and bleeding millions
Rise to conquer or to die !
Sweden thinks of her Tnltowa ;
France of Moscow's frost and flame;
Turkey broods o'er many a province,
Wrung from Islam's holy name;
England trembles for the highway,
By the Nilus' sacred flood,
And the eaptire nations owe you,
Many a fiery grudge of blood.
If all these should not subdue you,
We will take tbe field alone,
While the world beholds in combat,
'Ihe republic and die throne'
We don't mean to stand and see yftt
Strangle Freedom at her birth ;
You shall hear onr cannon thunder,

A Scottish Ji fttck. A poor man,
half a ctntury ago or more, was tempted
to violate the game laws, by shooting
deer, the penalty for the offence being
fine of five pounds, or, default of funds,
thirty lashes. He gave half the deer to
a neighbor, who had the meanness after
wards to complain of him in order that ho
might get half the fine, the law being that
half must go to the informer and half to
the king. Tho offender was convicted,
and fined accordingly, but pleaded that he)
had tin money. "Well, won," said tho
magistrate, "ve mun La' the lashes then.'
The poor man was submissive. Tbe magis
trate then said to the sheriff, "Take that
mnn, the informer, tie him till yon tree,
nnd pic h"im ms half ; and when King
Gemge rnmrg over, we'll give him BIB
half. Ilaif goes till the informer, and
half till the KiDjj."
