THE SEASON.

The Weather is not so respectfully spoken

Providence" should be "under Republican
Government" The Philadelphia Gazette
tells its readers that the first day of May in
that city was only allowed to keep its place
out Of mere courtesy to the Almanac makers,

the details of chronology. The Boston Post
appears to be DESTROYS of exercising the same
kind of decorum but Monday was too much
for ii. The Editor of that paper is a hor-
riblc partizan in politics, but has always cx-
erciscd some delicacy in treating of north
casters; but his patience seems to have been

it unworthy Of notice." and would do so
altogether if i, were not for certain rantipolc
erccnt,icities which it is quite impossible to
overlook. Nothing but fogs and snow storms
have been on hand for twcnty-nine out OF
thirty days of the last month. The Bosto-
mans have been about as we'll off as their
ncighbors. Our own beautiful climate has
nothing to be boosted of for some time, and
publishing as We do an independent Journal,
we say this of it "without favor or affection"
