THE ABOLITION MEErINGs.-These affairs have
been more farcical than ever this season. The
voence-the folly-the rows-the tumult-t the
squabbles at the meetings of the Anti-SIavery So
cety, have been indescribably ridiculous and ANU
sing.
Every wear these fanatics meet, and after tre-
mendous defamation against every thing and every
body, they pass resolutions declaring their deter
mination to dissolve the Union Just as the
american and the old women every now and then,
when any political event occurs which IS not
agreeable to them, come out and say, ION the
Union is dissoved--the Union is dissolved!' Very
well, go on, dissolve the Union-spout, and shout
and declaim, and rant, and scratch each others
eyes out 1t would be hard, indeed il you couldn't
play your annual farce without disturbance But
still we cannot help laughing at these creatures
the pomposity with which they go to work and say
they will (" dissolve the Union;" just as well might
they pass resolutions declaring that from henceforh
and for ever the Mississippi should flow over the
Alleghanies-ihat it was all wrong that it should
20 past New Orleans!
FURTHER FROM AFRICA We have received files
of African papers to the 10Th Of March, by the
Frances Lord, which arrived last night from Cape
Palmas
Doct Barron, of the Catholic Mission. had al
rived from France, in French Brig OF War, under
the sanction and patronage Of the French Govern
msnt, and had removed the Missionaries from
Cape Palmas, which station they are about to
abandon, to settle at Assnee, on the Gold coast
The other Missionaries were generally in good
health.
The Rev. VIM. c. Crocker, died at Monrovia
Siberia, February 26tb, 1874. He was of the Bap
fist African Mission. Nh c arrived from Boston,
in the Palestine, on Feb "a. He enjoyed his
usual health during the passage, next day after his
arrival he went on shore to preach His death was
caused by the rupture of one of the blood vessels
by which he lost between one and two gallons OF
blood.
ITALIAN OPERA MORE HARMONY AND DIscoRD.-
Last evening Lucia ID Lammamoor represent
ed to very large and fashionable house. Tn.
lhrong of lovely women Of the highest families 10
the city it is clear continues to find its way to Pal
mos. The be iutiiul Borghese in fine voice,
and received the usual amount of braves and plau-
dts. The orchestra, under the Incompatible RAJ
oetti, was, if possible, better than ever, and this
fine opera was seldom performed better anywhere
Thus all was harmony, beauty, grace, and con.
cord before the curtain, but strange to say, good
deal of discord and Earring existed behind
People will say" oh! for Heavan's sake tel
ls no more about these things-we pray u
lruce to all these Earrings and squabblesv' Wei,
We are very sorry, but it is better after all IL
let all be known-that silences exaggerated am
false rumors. The simple story then is. that mis-
understanding has again occurred between tn.
beautiful Borghese and the enterprising Palmo
Now if it be so, all we have to say is that we
with the lady at all hazards, for the ladies are
IN the wrong.
We have received a number of documents and
contracts and correspondence in French, between
he parties, which is amusing enough to be sure,
but we don't think it best to publish them at pre-
sent. We hope the parties will settle their differ
ences at once, and not come before the public like
valtellina, who did not gain much credit for do
ing Borghese is beautiful woman and charm
ing singer, and Palmo, by his enterprise, and toll
and judgment, and liberaty, has gained high
reputation. So we exhor all to amity and friend
ship.
