"THE GOOD OLD CAUsE.n

The recent successes Of the Administration.
in demonstrating the overshadowing influence
of the Executive, are we'll calculated TO excite
the fears the patriotic and rejecting portion
of the country. Those successes have con.
essedIy resulted, not trom'popular appreciation
OF the measures Of Government--not from
economy, honesty and efficiency in the public
enthusiastically from party trammeis and
Executive patronage, and in spite of popular
Iclamor against the measures of Government,
and against the prodigality and corruption
which poVade all branches Of the public sur.
vice. We have seen pertinent public men and
influential public prints inveighng mos, bit.
terly against the leading policy Of the Federal
Executive suddenly, and wit hout any appa rent
cause, abandon their opposition and become the
most bolserons advocates of the men whose
measures they condemned. We have seen nm
Unprecedented waste OF the public money y
lavish distribution Of it among par,izans and
tavorltes, and IN open and shameless collision
between the patronage Of the Government and
the freedom ofelecions And we have seen rs
the result OF this system OF operations, meas
ure, loathe and eEecraed by at least two.third>
OF the American people, come to be viewed with
indifference if not favor, by tho very mliyid.

Republic engulfed in a spoigm?-T6at were
to act the part OF one who deserved the chains

Republicans Of Virginia and Kentucky in -9e,
when deserted by every other State, undismav

or surrender, although every branch of the

A RUSSIAN WEDDING.

had a very natural wish 10 see Russian
wedding, and it was soon gratlted. Count
-, brother 10 him whom had the pleas
ure to know in Paris, very kindly invited me to
accompany him, the other evening, 10 the mar
riage of Col -, with Mademoiselle----.
The history Of the parties was simple enough,
and too frequent, perhaps IN all countries; 1t
was marriage d'coren0nce. We found the
chapel brilliantly lighted up; two small affairs
were raised in the centre, on which were placed
the cup Of wine, two coronets OF gold, the holy
gospel, and a consecrated image, which was at
forwards to be removed to the nuptial chamber.
The mutual friends were assembled, and form
ed circle in their usual dress, the relations
only being in full uniform with their cordons
and decorations. The bridegroom arrived first
and joined the group, who were eager to express
their congratulations on the occasion; in a.
short time appeared the bride, attended by her.
family and the usual attendants. 1t would be
rare TO sec a handsomer person; she was dres-
sed in white, with much taste and simplicity :;
the long veil flowed round her shoulders, and
the usual emblem Of marriage, boquet Of or,
ange flowers graced her bosom, They were
placed before the affairs in face ofthe pope; to
began with chorus from the cha'liTeS de la con-.
During this commencement the bride appeared
much agitated; but she soon mastered her emo
ton, though the heaving bosom and trembling
taper still gave evidence the internal strug-
gle. The questions and replies, together with
the interchange of rings, correspond with the
rites Of other churches; but there is one ceremo-
ny peculiar to the Greek church, which is at
once symbolica and affecting. The pope takes
the cup Of wine, and invites the betrothed pair
to drink Of it alternately, as tacit engagement
to share in common the good and evil Of their
future lives; this idea is also renewed, when
they walk three times round the affairs, arm-in
arm, while the golden coronets are held over
their heads by the assistants. The benedic-
ton is then pronounced, the new married cou
pie are led to the holy place, where they kiss
the pictures of the saints, and the ceremony is
finished. In any other country it would be sup
posed, that when a lovely person, like Mile
-, was sacrificed at the altar by her
friends, their object must have been to secure n
rich and noble husband for porlionless daugh
ter. But this was not the case she had an in
dependent fortune, and her future husband had
yneither title, connexions, nor rubIe beyond
his pay. But here the epaulette is every thing.
He was colonel in the army, AMI military rank
Is the only acknowledged grade in the State;
she was throwed into the arms of a man. her
inferior in every point, with her feelings per-
maps already devoted TO another, solely and
simply, that she might acquire an ascertained
tank in the scale Of Russian society.-Raike's
