A SILENT WEDDING.-A very interesting
ceremony was performed at the P~resbyter-
ian church in Eighth street-formerly in
Murray street. A ceremony interesting at
all times, but peculiarly so in the present
case, from the physical condition of the par
ties most immediately concerned. II was .
marriage. The Rev. DR.. McAnley ofhcia-
led. A large audience was present, the ma
jer portion Of it comprising the pupils of an
honored and most laudable educational in
s%titution pertaining 10 our city. The groom
had beer for some time a monitor in this in
stitution-the bride for an equal or greater
length of time had held the responsible post
of assistant matron. Thus inmates of n
dwelling, and engaged in the performance
of assimilating duties, it is no wonder that
they had become acquainted each with the
others estimable qualities, and that a mut,fai
affection prompted them to link their desti-
MES in life together. Yet a word of love
was never uttered by his lips or breathed
into her willing ear.
And the same reserve was manifested by
them at the altar. They stood mutes the
voice of the clergyman alone was heard
when the solemn vows of marriage were ex-
changed.
The parties were Nathan Miles Totem, of
Huntington, Long Island, and Mrs. Mary
Emma Mitchell, widow, of this c%ity--both
deaf mutes. Mr.. Peet, the esteemed princi-
pal of the institution, to which they have fer
some time been attached interpreted by signs
between them and the clergyman; and he al
so made the concluding prayer, in the same
yoiceless but impressive language.
AT the close of the ceremony the happy
couple entered a carriage, with the grooms-
man and bridesmaid, and proceeded 10 Brook
lyn, where the wedding feast was provided
at the house of a friend; and thence they
were TO depart, by the three o'clock train, for
Huntington, where MIR. Totten possesses a
modest property.-[N. Y. paper.

The following is the close Of Mr.. Web

Fourth of July by the Boston Clay Club:
Ours, gentlemen, is now a contest for
preservation. We say 10 our opponents, and
say truly, so far as regards the policy of pro-
lection and domestic trade,

And least of all, such change as you would
bring usr'-(Cheers.)
The country prospers. The twenty-sev-
enth Congress did good, did remarkable
good; and if we only can preserve that good
we need not fear the future. (Applause.)
Our country, as you have forcibly been told
by others, is prosperous in a high degree
1t is for us to continue the causes of such
prosperity. And with what have we to con-
tend? Party feeling. Personal ambition.
The love of office. Against these we
bring the experience of more than fifty years
the ceunsels and the wisdom of those
who have preceded us--and, moro than all,
a party firmly united in support of a policy
which has proved itself eminently successful.

"SKIES BRIGHT"

The United States Gazette thus speaks of the
bright and frightening prospects in Pennsylva-
MIA:
1--WE have very cheering accounts from the
interior part of this State-accounts which, had
any doubt remained in our mind that the electoral
vote of the State will be given to Mr.. Clay, would
have removed it. We have heard from several
counties, and learn that there are numbers in
each who voted for Mr.. Skunk who will on the
lst of November vote for CLAY AND THE
TARIFF. Several ronmasters, employing from
one hundred to three hundred men each, who,
with their hands, voted for Skunk, have been
named to US among those who will now vote the
Whig electoral ticket, deeming it necessary to
do 30 in order to sustain the present tariff, i'm
portant to them and to all Pennsylvania"
In connexion we may add the following extract
Of letter from Philadelphia, received last night !:
"Ihe Presidential contest in this State now
comes home to the understanding of the people.
1t is Clay and the tariff against Polk and free
trade-that is, do,on ,Uith the tariff. In Philade-
phia city and county Clay will have greatly in.
creased vote over that of Gen. Marke, the Whig
candidate for Governor, and the same feeling is
running through nearly all the counties in the
State. 1t is the firm belief of many well-judging
persons from distant parts of the State, now here,
that Clay and the tariff will be carried from 1000
to 10000 majority.-BaM Pat

The Globe and the Madisonian are dancing La
Polka in most glorious gee because, they say they
have found out that Mr.. Reed, of Philadelphia,
one of the Wing Committee men, to get out vo-
ters to the polls, has raised the sum of one hun
dred dollars, and sent it to county in the interior
OF the State, to be expended in furnishing con-
veyances for the lame, the aged, and the poor, to
get to the polls! A terrible business, truly
Does the dancing Globe remember its recent
BOAST that its " fiscality editor" would !" lose
or spend TENS OF THOUSANDS to prevent the de-
feat of his party! 70
Is the dancing Madisonian willing to acknowl-
edge how much money, cash in hand, has been
paid it by the men whom John Tyler put into the
peoples offices, in order to keep the Madsonian
in all it's misrepresentation and Stiffness from
giving up the ghost, and thereby saving them
selves (though not in every instance, by jug
full y from dismissal! Did not Mr.. s., of this
city, who is now out of Office, hand over $lOO,
the same amount which the Madisonian discovers
has been sent to the country, by the Wing Com
mittee of Philadelphia Did not Lemuel Will
lams, the Collector of Boston, hand over $500
If so, don't let Restless Rantoul and Mosquito
Roberts succeed in getting Captain Tyler to turn
him out, in order to give his place to some one
else who, perhaps, will hand over another cool
$500.
Will the Madisonian tell what were the condi-
tions enjoined by Robert Tyler upon Mr.. Mont
gomery, the late postmaster Of Philadelphia,
whereby he could retain his office!

connection-but here are enough for to-day.

FASHION AGAIN SUcCEssFUL-THE North VIc-
ToRIoUs.--We have another victory to add to the
many triumphs of the celebrated mare, Fashion,
who had trial yesterday on the Beacon Course
with Marchioness, from North Carolina, and the
crack nag of the South. The attraction was very
large as usual, and no accident occurred
The first heat was run by Fashion in min
utes 50l seconds, Marchoness making very
good run until the last quarter, although Fashion
evidently was taking it very easy. At the last
quarter Fashion made beautiful brush, winning
by several lengths. Previous to starting the odds
was very largely in favor of Fashion, but at the
end of the heat most extravagant odds were given,
but accepted in few instances
IA. The second heat was hardly contested, Fashion
taking the lead and keeping it, coming in at a
round gaop in 5 minutes 81 seconds. Mar
chioness made many friends by her performance,
and is not much disgraced By her defeat, the con-
querer of Boston and Blue Dick being no mean
opponent. Purse $500, three mile heats.

Tyler's thunder, on the Texas question-and pro-
claimed, vocferonsly, that he would decline run

Maryland had triumphantly elected Carroll, Gov.

the Wings! And now it is in an addle Of extacy
at what it styles " The Certainty that Col. Polk
will be elected President of the United States !"
Alas poor John Jones ! will he ever wake up
to the reality Of what is going on in the political
world or will he keep on, after Clay's election,

CRAWFISHING.

The Locofocos, finding that their coalition with
the Abolition candidate, Brney, is likely to be
less advantageous than was at first contemplated,
are making some very faint efforts to deny the
validity of the contract. The Detroit Free Press
attempts to say that the Wings got into the Lo-
cofoco convention in some miraculous way, and
effected the nomination of Birney. But every
one must see that this is merely and purely a
falsehood, and could moi have happened. The
Locofocos of Saginaw assembled in county con.
vention, for the purpose of nominating candi-
dates for the legislature, and nothing can exceed
the absurdity of the story trumped up by the
Detroit Free Press, and endorsed by the Globe,
that the Wings slipped into the convention and
controlled its deliberations, contrary to the wish
es of the Locofocos. The proceedings of the
convention, published on the spot in the Locofoco
paper, would of itself expose the falsehood Of the
story started by the Free Press. We have al
ready published those proceedings and now add
extracts from the affidavit of a gentleman who
swears that the proceedings of the convention, as
published in our paper heretofore, were shown to
him by the Locofoco editor in whose paper they
originally appeared:
"Deponent further says, that he called on Mr..
Jenney, the editor of the North STAR demo-
cratic newspaper, printed at Saginaw City, in
which the proceedings of said convention were
published, and was shown by him the original
manuscript containing the said proceedings, and
that the following is true copy thereof, as pub
