My DEAR SIR
A kind of tranquility has once more resumed its
sway, now that Millerism has been exploded, al
though politics continue to keep up tolerable ex
element On Tuesday evening the Wing Young
Mems Club met strongly in the fremont Temple,
the Honorable G. +. Adams President in the chair.
They were addressed by the Honorable Robert G.
Winthrop, the Hon. Rufus Choate, and Charles 7.
Russell, Esq. From the earnestness of the speak
ers, their sophistry of argument, and their phlan-
thropic and patriotic asseverations one unskied in
the craft of politics must have been convinced
that Clay would inevitably Ego in" by an over
whelming majority. The democi ats, not to be out
done, assembled on the same evening in Faneuil
Hall to the number Of nearly five thousand, and
what with speeches from Col. Isaac Emery, Robert
kantoul, Esq.-the latter speaking over three
hcurs-contrived to make their followers believe
that the cause of Clay was without redemption,
and that Polk and Dallas were as sure of election
as day must follow darkness. There is grand
wing procession to night by torch light, but fear
the weather will destroy their perepatetic patriot
ism. The editor Of the Boston Pilot is making
himself very oficious in political matters, and in
stead OF advancing the cause OF Catholic citizens,
is deepy inJuring it. This same editor is not even
naturallzed citizen, and yet he presumes to die
tate to native Americans how they must act in the
coming Presidential contest Is it not enough 10
cause the heart OF every American to swell with
indgnatlon-to cause choler to assume the reins of
reason, and PROSTATE with the dust every foreign
lnnovator upon the rights, principles and institu-
tons bequeathed TO. them with the blood
and treasure of their forefathers. The spirit
Of '76 is fast rising, and will not hesitate
sacre, if the Pope and his myrmidons do
not cry peccavi. Lectures are beginning for
the season, but fear the present one will prove
most unsuccessful , The LYceum can hardly get

was performed last Sunday, at the Melodeon, with
H.. Phillips. This gentleman has quite taken our
citizens by storm, his style Is 80 pure, melodious,

At the National, Mr.. Anderson has been most sue

arise from the writer's ignorance Of the matter, or
plque against the gentleman who has control OF
this department He is an individual OF the most
honorable character; thoroughly conversant with
his profession, and, above all, author ct no in
considerable repue. There is but one feeling about
MIN in Boston, among gentlemen, and that is, he is
one. The Museum ls doing tolerabe business !;
Mrs Barrett and Mr. Smith, once very spirited per-
formers. are the favorites here. l hope they will
continue so. There is mania at present very pre-

pctures which, generally, are neither more nor less

out, putied up, and passed off for "originas;"
and some ingenious Yankees are profting by the
folly Of the pretended judges. The striped pig"
