The fact of his presence in’ Washi. should be a sufficient evidence it the State from which he hailed was safe. {Applause.} After the recent election in Texas be found it to remain there so far as canvassing was concerned.

As to the other ites be could give them.no i jon, inasmuch as he knew nothing personally about them. in Mississippi, also, and Tennessee, he said, their op were making singular charges inst that ty. In one breath they charged e 1 disunionists; with making new nd im practicable issues; of constituting such tests of political orthodoxy that the soundest democrats ‘were driven from the platform; and in the same pes Sees tem with having ado an unmeantng and senseless declaration faith. They said, that if by Mr. Davis's resolutions, or the demoeratic platform, which embodied the Prineiples of those resolutions, his neg ment anything, they would have voted for ur. rown's siave-code bili, and for bis resolations declaring that the emergency had already arisea. The elo- nent speaker See ied to these various charges in etail, and gave bis reasons for not voting for the slave-code Dill of Mr. Brown, and his proposition declaring the em ar: iring action by the Ped 4 those reasons was, that the attempt to pass such a (bill ia iy Senate would only involve a long, agi ting discussion, without effecting the least ea Even if passed inthe Senate, it could uot ba been carried through the House Aguin, in the Presidential contest which was so soon to follow, the friends of the measure, ifsuch had been passed, would have had their whole time enyressed in defending the details of the bill, and had no time to disouss the great principles involved.

This existence or non-exist- ence of an emergency was a question of fact about which he did not intend or care to express an jewed at some length the political course e Pe Seas him asa spy. Mr. igias could not be called a “traitor” to the democratic pus because he was never a bona fide member of that party. He was always re- garded as unsound upon many of the great prin- ciples avowed by that party, such as te internal improvement question, and tariff and others. He was now found to be unsound upon the great al absorbing question of ‘‘ domestic slavery.” He referred to the doctrines and political record of Joba Bell and Edward Everett. Their elec- tion would be 7 detrimental to the dearest rights of the South. his address was an exceeding able and inter- esting one; and though he spoke for upwards of an hour, Le was listened to throughout with the most intease interest. The Hon. Mr. Jenkins, of the thirteenth con- gressional district of Virginia, followed in a brief int fore ible speech. At the Meztine of the Teachers’ Association of this city, on Saturday evening last, Dr. Detrich gave a criticisin on Tenuey’s Geology.

The speaker also extolled “In high terms the hospitality of the citizens of Buffalo. “2 Mr. Z. Richards made a brief Meeting of the American Institute held in Boston during the month of August. He stated that the most interesting feature of the meeting was the discussion of the subject of physical trainiag in sebools, which elicited general interest, and was reodered eminently practical by the introduction of Dr. Lewis, wi gat Meepa ve an outline of his tan for conducting physical exercises in connec- jon With schools and lies, but gave avery iuferesting demonstration of the practicability of bis system by the exercises of a class before a larze and {interested audience. The most skeptical were apparently convinced that his system was not only practical but just such as ought to be introduced into all our schoo!s. its characteris. tics are—ist Simplicity; 2d. Adaptability, first in being orine pes » tte en 3 a e part ical systein, , second, to pore emotions of leasure, fan com petition; 3d. Chrapness, so as to bring it within the reach of any school where there is a suitable room, and a texcher who js qualified to give directions and take the lead. Dr. Lewis was called up several times, and he succeeded in-kindling aspirit of eutbusiasm and interest which will not probably stop until every schvol of a prominent character Shall adopt his » or ing analogous. ‘Phe Teachers’ lation of this city will prob- ably take up the report at its next and ive a cal bearing to the subject.
