ing, and Incorporate TRADES of Giddings, the abo
litionist, whose only object appears to have been
malevolent abuse of the southern planters, because
their fathers have left them as legacy an insti-
tuition of which they cannot get rid, except by the
process of civilization and time.
The meeting tonight will be exceedingly inter.
esting, and we shall, usual, take care to report
it fully and accurately.
NOMINATIONS BEFORE THE SRNATE-There is
good deal of talk just in the political circles
relative to the nominations before the Senate, par
ticuIarly those connected with the Custom House
Of this city. Our Washington correspondent has
made special reference to some of these nomna-

were accomplished to defeat them, that an expo

common decency neither party is to be denounced
by any public journal or the correspondent of any
public journal.

IN relation to these recent nominations by Mr.
Tyler, only shadows forth, with more cearness
than we expected, the difficulties which await

of no interest TO the community At large, and for
which, indeed, they do not care rush.
Da. RYDER's SERMoN.-In this days paper will
be found full and faithful report Of the interesting
and highly important discourse delivered by the
Rev. DR.. Ryder, in st. Peters Church, on last
Sunday evening. On that occasion there were as

preacher held his audience entranced-nota breath

speaker which tell upon the except when the ter

pent up and suppressed breathing OF those who
were too much absorbed by DR.. Ryder's eloquence
to respire freely.
We understand that DIR. Ryder is now on his
way TO Europe, on a mission to Rome, on some
business connected with his sacred calling and the
interests of the Catholic Church.
