PARABLE--General Murphy, OF Ohio,
who was delegate to the Wing national con-
vention, concluded capital speech with the
following parable:
'.Thc mother Of a family, he said, became
very sick, and lay at the point of death. The
family consisted ofthe father and mother and
three sons, William, Henry, and Winfield
They were much distressed, and it being ne
cessary to send for the Physician the ques-
ton arose which of the three sons should be
sent upon the errand. They were all anx-
ious 10 go, and after deliberately weighing
the subject in his mind, the father came TO
the conclusion that William should be sent.
not from any disrespect to the others, but be-
cause he had run over the road once before,
and because he could run the fastest. Ifthc
mother got sick again then he would send
one OF the others, but as the present was
very urgent OCCASION, he must send William.
The cause OF the sickness the mother, said
Mr.. NJ. was-she had been poisoned by the
cooks in the kitchen.''

rison is notalmost certain of the whole twelve,
with the exception of Maine, Connecticut and
Pennsylvania We feel as if the response
mus: be Affirmative. Maine, without much
doubt, will be lost to him.
In place, however, therefore, he would be
certain of Massachusetts,, which, carrying four
more electoral votes, would make the whole
number l67. Pennsylvania and Connecticut,
then, are the only debateable States. Sup
pose, however, he fail in both, "a superstition,
by the bye, we do not admit then he has an
equal chance with Van Buren, in Illinois,

SUDDEN DvoRcEMENT.-On Monday last,
the elite of this great city were thrown into
the utmost CONSERVATION, confusion and dis
may, by a most unexpected discovery that 4
certain lady, the recently espoused lady of an
honorable Senator, was not exactly what she
should be. 1t appears that the honorable Sc
nator who is very nearly related to his excel
lency, met this accomplished and bewitching
cyprian some months since in the course of
his travels, become so completely enamoured
with her projections that IA correspondence
was fixed upon, and regularly continued until
the consummation of their union, which took
place at New Orleans short time before the
meeting of the Legislature. On the arrival
of the parties in this city, the lady took her
place at the hotel table and was received with
open arms by the fashionable and the CAV, the
virtuous and the pious, of this fashionable and
gay, vlrtuous and pious city. Parties were

the arlstocracy were, of course, invited in no.
nor of Mrs. Senator s., and the GILT and
embossed cards of the honorables and the ami
ables were poured in upon her by the honor
ables and the amiables by the dozens. But,
alas for the aristocracy, and alas for the amo-
rator of Senator s! Her career of distinction
was doomed be short one! At one of the
parties she was discovered by "a former friend
or acquaintance, and her true character imme-
diately and fully exposed! The consequence
