Infamous Outrage.-On Sunday evening last,
a respectable married lady Of this city, and a
Young lady of her acquaintance whom she had &C
companied home, were most shamefully assault
ed by sume unknown william. They were stand
ing on the front steps Of the house in which the
latter resided, when man in frock coat rather
genteelly drest, most grossly and indecently as
saulted the young lady, who cried for help: on
her escaping from him, lie seized the clothes OF
the elder lady, who IN struggling to disensage her
self, struck her head 50 violently against the case
ment Of the door that it was cut open. The scoun-
dreI then made off. 1t is thought he would be
recognized, il seen again by the parties.

and rain, swept overthe city during the last night
This morning the hail was several inches thick
in the yards Of the houses in the lower part Of the
city The lightning was very sharp, the thun-
der rolled heavily, and the wind blew with pro-

.0ntin,asonry IN Massachusetts.-The Boston
Centine, after stating several results OF the cleo
ton to show that antimasonry is on the rapid de-
cline in Massachusetts,, has the following remarks.
which apply most admirably to The state OF mat
tiers in New York. Indeed, one would suppose
the remarks were intended for that meridian.
..Antimasonry turns out as we have always ex-
pected that it would, only its decline has com
mcnced abou, a year earlier than we antici'
pated: we had supposed that it would have grown
stronger and ragged longer than it has, and then
that it would have expired for want OF aliment.
or because it has had no real basis on which to
rest But it has passed its ctmicteric, and must
rapidly sink into its natural insignifcance. 1t
has never had any real strength with the people,
although it has now and then received the coun-
tenanee of aspiring politicians who have been de-
luded into Kind Of presentimenf that 1t was des-
tined to spread and become the dominant party
here. Now this delusion is becoming understood,
and this charm is dissolved, it will be extremely
difficult, as it has been ,exatous, and not little
EXPENSIVE to certain individuals to keep alive the
excitement.

We copy an article from the Alexandria Ga

common schools are generally kept about halt the

iect of this Convention is thus traced BY the edi-

Republican Convention at Baltimore will select
the candidates, and plan the campaign: the young
men will come INTO action like light infantry, to
clear the field, and skir,nish on the TANKS, and
make way for the people, marching indignantly
onward to dsplace their unfathful and incompe-
tent servants at the Capital"
The following is the delegation, viz. David
Graham, Jr Senatorial Delegate; Peter P. Stagg,
Edward Gramage, Nathaniel b Blunt, Alexan-
der Knox, Jr. Samuel ID. Jackson, and William
Duer. The remaining three Senatorial Delegates
are to be appointed from other sections of the
State.
