that there were between SO and Co.,
900 persons present. Mr. Van Blu
rem visited them and staid few min
utes. Gov. Seward was there aeon
siderable time, and made a speech to
the juvenile celebrators, and as one
LOT the papers remarks, seemed ssquite
at home amongst the children" The
most ample provision was made and
what is yet more strange the whole
passed off without a single injury or
accident to any one connected with
the Sunday Schools.
BULwI.R AND HIS W1FE.-The fol-
lowing spirited passage is extracted
from a review Of "Cheveleyn in the
National Intelligencer, in Washing
ton city, from the pen Of Henry J.
Brent.
s'''BulWer was an ambitious man
full of genius, of profound learning
and liberal views. He had written
Pelham, the first novel of the 10Th
century, and the Disowned, not far
behind it in merit. He became a
member Of Parliament. To his wife
he had breathed his hopes, his ambi-
tlous thoughts Of what he could eff
feet. He spoke as he would have
spoken to his own soul. He entered
the House of Commons: he rose to
speak: it was his. first trial; his fame
was at its zenith; he saw the lights
dance before his bewildered eyes: the
student Of the one solitary lamp acas
before blazing and flashing chande-
liersz and his heart crept back to his
book glrt sanctuary, and his tongue
could not utter its beautiful and elo-
|quent sentiments-he failed! Stun
ned and COMPOUNDED, he fed to the
sanctuary of home, like the culprit to
the sanctuary of the church. His
wife was in her boudoir; she had heard
of his defeat at party where she
was. Her pride was stung. He en-
tered to receive her sympathy. Drop
ping him a courtesy, she sneeringly
addressed him: "Ah, you are the dis
tinguished EDWARD LrTToN BULwER
author of Pelham and the Disown-
ed. You the man that was to regen-
crate England; to overthrow the
Grey Ministry! Poor thing! scared
by the flare Of candle!" He was
overwhelmed with rage, and slapped
her on the face. He was unpardona-
BILE among men, but not among wo-
men. The provocation was great.
This was one Of the first causes of
their separation; who was to blame
in it?-Morality and love will answer
the question.
WlNNEBAGo TnEArY.-By an ad-
vertisement in the Argus we perceive,
that the new commission under this
treaty will commence at Prairie du
Chen on the 9Th day of August next.
The notice before us relates alone to
the claims Of the trader, and specifies
in what manner they must present
their claims. Of the awards to the
half breeds nothing is said; but we
understand that they will also be
again adjudicated upon, and the re-
port of the former commissioners
wholly disregarded. The whole coun-
try has reason to rejoice at this con-
summation. A fraud, the most infa-
NOUS in its inception and the most
unblushing in the manner Of its exc
cution, is thus defeated, and those
who would have plundered the inno-
cent and contidlng Indian, have been
themselves caught in the snare which
they laid for others. The commits
sioner, Gen. Cameron, and Mr. Broad
head, his aid in this nefarious prac-
tice, will have to look elsewhere for
the money they have expended, and
we think that fthey lose it, the pun
ishment will still be too small for such
an act.
We did intend to have said some
thing more upon the Developments
IN the first commission; but from the
course this affair has taken, and it
now being pretty evident that justice
will be done to the parties, we deem
it unnecessary to discuss the subject
any further.-Missouri Rep.
The VICE PREsrDENT.-The good
natured practical amalgamationist
who presides over the U. S. Senate is
sought to be set aside by the ':dimi-
ty" portion of the Locofoco party
But the Colonel wont stay put. He
is not 50 confoundedly good natured
as to be imposed upon by the ssruff1e
shirt Office holders, at Washington.
The Col. has written aletter, in which
he pretty plainly intimates that he is
ready and willing to serve the .sde-
mocracy" another term, and says he
ssnever authorised the declaration,
that he was unwilling to be the dem
ocratic candidate for second term
The Col. is warmly supported by the
Slann-Rar1er i ,ornfncns and tiS cnn]lxy
