Of opinion in the State. il, a preliminary cleo
zion to another Presidential contest in which
MIR. v. Buren, is again candidate the oppo
si.ion should succeed. Besides, il is well IA
dersiood that the Administration has rallied
upon Virginia. and that every political de.
vice that art could suggest. has been used
without scruple How far, therefore, the
goper Of the government may succeed a
cainst the evidently changing sentiments o.
the people, we cannot pretend to say, mol
have we predicted. We have conented our
selves with hoping for manly exhibition o
Virginia independence We may be disap
pointed vet 10 this hope, but we shall not re
iinquish it. until the returns satisfy us that
has been fsllacious. OF one thing. however
we feel quite certain. and that is, that Gen
: Harrisons vote in Virginia in November
when the election for President takes place
will be larger than the vote received by tn
Wing candidates for the Legislature thi

Postmaster Franklin.-In 1852 Benjamin
Franklin was Postmaster General, with permission
to make 10000 continental money, if he could
out of the whole post office department. in Amer
lea. The very next yer he gave the astonishing
notice that the mail, which had before run once a
fortnight to NewEngland, would start once week
the year round, whereby answers might be OBJ
tanned to letters between Philadelphia and Boston
in three weeks, which before had required six
weeks. 1774 it was annouced in all the papers
of the colony, that" John Perkins engages to ride
post, to carry the mail once week between Phil
adelphia and Baltimore, and will take along or
bring back led horses, or any parcel" When a
post rider proposed starting, notice was given of
his intention by advertisement, also by the town
'crier, for several days in advance. In 1870, the
number of post Offices had increased through the
country to seventy-fve.

SOUTHWARK PoLIcE.-Beiore Alderman Turr :.
Thursday, Jan. 8, lS40.-A case of rather an
extraordinary character came up for hearing be-
fore Alderman Turr, on Thursday afternoon.
which if correct in its particulars, shows daring
attempt TO set up authority above that of the
laws of the country. About two years ago, Jno.
Cassidy was married to Mary M'Shane, by Bish-
op Kenrick, of the Catholic church. Cassidy,
who was Protestant, resisted the entreaties of
his wife. who belonged to the Catholic church, to
attend service at the latter church and become a
convert to the faith which she prolessed She
applied 10 the bishop for advice, who as she de-
cares, represented to her thai, as they were first
cousins and had contracted marriage without the
necessary dlspensaton, the marriage was invalid
according to the laws of that church, and drew
up paper to that effect, which she called di-
vorce, signed with his name, as follows:
Mary M'Shane states that she is the first
cousin of John Cassday, with whom she con-
tracted marriage without the necessary dispensa-
lion, which marriage is invalid, according to the
laws nf the Catolic church.

Philadelphia Jan. 7, ls40."
He told her that she committed sin by living
with him any longer and her child was bastard,
and all her children would be such. The wife.
therefore, left her husband taking her child with
her. On Thursday her husband was arrested on
a charge of abandoning her child, and brought
before the Alderman. The husband, of course,
denied the charge, and asserted his willingness to
maintain them both, but that she had left him
without sufficient cause, and until she returned
again, he did not think himself bound to maintain
them. The magistrate, on hearing the evidence
in this singular case, advised her to 60 home and
live with her husband-thatth they had been legally
married, according to the laws of the country, and
no Bishop,had power to divorce them--and that,
if she were to contract marriage again during the
lifetime of her present husband, she would be IL
able TO imprisonment for bigamy. She would
not consent. however to live with him, after what
the bishop had said, but agreed to deliver the
child to her husbands keeping, who readily con-
sented to take it, and the parties then left the office.
