Swif Retrlbution.--The New
York Republican says that, on Fri
dav evening, 18th ult., on board the
packet boat Onondaea, a man died
in a very sudden and awful manner.
He had taken the liberty to avow
him elf an infdel, and to pour the
mos, horrid anathemas upon Christi
anity and its author, and was exceed
ingly enraged against any that dared
to reprove him. While engaged in
this wickedness, and while in the very
act of cursing the followers of Christ,
he fell upon the deck of the boat and
instantly expired. All present, says
the individual who gave us the facts
in the case, were admonished Of the
truth Of that declaration, "God is not
mocked."

of but one coon in Arkansas; he was
a notably fat one, though, and repre-
sented himself in the wing conven-
ton at Baltimore. That party in the
State is perfectly united, as may be
supposed.
Lonisiana.-The wings don't men

strong for Polk as Texas would be.
MississiPpi.-There is no use spend

up the whole region. Mississippi is
now democratic throughout her State

CURIoUs.--The New York Herald
says: "a few days ago a hickory
pole was erected at Fort Lee, on
which occasion there was a strong
muster of the democratic forces
Hardly had they scattered, when a
proud and stately Eagle perched up
on its top, and ever since returns at
intervals from his high mountain ey-
rie to his lofty position, to have a
smell of pure democratic air. The
far sighted among the Young Hicko-
ries set this down as a favorable
omep."
