same morning the President made greal
display Of military power. haInngneo w
troops cursed and abused the National 0uatn'
and every respectable citizen that 20 co1Ie
see; passed all through town WITH MS escor'
| abusing every respectable person he mei.ano
particularly the printers and members Q. tne
house of Representatives. He displaced irc y,
their offices some of the most intelngent ctl.
gems. because they had been to the house q
i its aittinOa. or had conversed win It's meH'
4 hers. and PLACED all the troops Inder garrison
i ,r;th the sfrictest orders. On Monday NOR
ming. he roarrned over town like a roaring y.
4 an placed a guard at the door OF the house 81
representaiives to hinder the entrance OF It's
MEMBERSHIPS pt those who, octuated by tear
had changed their opinions. The orders
were, to let but one more than hatl OF the
members in, and be careful in NOT allowing
the leading men TO gel ~, they being threat
ened with personal violence;
The House organized under the influence
| at fear, and elected Senator with one majo-
| rity. Tuesday they assembled again under
the same influence Of fear, and issued an or
der giving "a hours for the six leading menu
bers to appear, to retract from the principles
that they had advanced. On Wednesday the
guard was augmented, and positive orders
given not to allow them to enter. They pre-
sented themselves, but were driven away -
but they did not present themselves to retract,
but to support the principles of the constitu-
ton that they had protested. The house with
a minority of its members voting, the rest be-
ing forced 10 be silent, from the display of
military force, pronounced the expulsion OF
five of its leading members for not having
obeyed the call of the house.
Monday d proclamation was issued forbid
ding people 10 talk about what was passing.
Attempts at assassination were made on the
persons Of two Of the members that had been
so unconsttutionally expelled. On Satur-
day another proclamation was published by
the President, which holds forth the most
hypocritical language.
From the Yoaae Mas Ga;de
Early Marriages We happened to hear a
long argument the other evening upon the
policy OF early marriages. Il is unnecessa-
ry to repeat the pro and cont IS unneces-
sary for us 10 hear it because, under ordin-
ary circumstances, and in ordinary situa-
tons, there can be but one side TO the ques-
ton. As soon as mans mind is matured
enough to make his choice, fasisdi III twenty
two or three it is, ifever,) he should be ready
to be married. The common arguments
against early matches, thatthe husband can
not be worth enough" pecuniarily, is not
only fallacy in itself. but productive of false
calculations and hopes ON the part of the
bride, and Of the tendency 70 produce the
very distress it is intended to avert.
When one WEEDS now, il is presumed as
natural inference that he has the income or
the expectation which will warrant the
couple in extravaganza. He may be honest
enough to tell his wife to the contrary--and
she may have good sense sufficient 10 indi-
cate to her what is her proper course in rela-
tion to expenses. But the whole round Of
gossipping acquaintance are not so easily put
off-and the couple are thus reluctantly
beckoned, persuaded. and driven into fash
ionable extravaganza, upon first setting out.
They strive to step at once into competition
in style of living and expenses, with people
sof fortune and to ape the misnarned hospi-
talities of those who entertained them in
their own state of single b;essedness.
fla couple are so weak minded as to think
they must pursue such q course as this. it is
no matter how late they marry --and better
late than never. If theYcan make up their
minds to a sensible and moderate establish
ment-if they understand their characters,
and have strength OF mind TO abide by good
resolution, the earlier they marry, the better.
The cost of almost any one vice or folly into
which bachelors are betrayed, BY lack Of
and home; the follies into
which they run 10 supply that place in their
hearts and in their time, which good wife
fills SO happily the unnecessary bachelor
expenses in which they indulge from mere
