| We are at this moment enjoying most delight
| full spring weather here in Boston.
| Yesterday was tie noted April Fool Day, and it
was made the occasion of one of the talest kind
of April Fool hoaxes that ever saw. In the morn
ing paragraph appeared in the Times severely
reprehending proposed bull fight which was to
come of over the bay at East Boston in the after
Spanish adventures. The statement had an of
hand, plausible air, calculated to suck In the green
ones, and, accordingly, in the afternoon, some four
10 sx hundred Of the verdant repaired to the ferry,
ald paid their sxpences to be waited to the favor
| ed shore. The grim ferymen grinned in
silence, and "took in" their freight Of asses
they haw -hawed right out, when they saw posse

Ice marching down the wharf, and by their I'M
timely mlrlh came near spelling the Joke. They,
lice, &c, went over TO the grounds the former to
the fun, and the latter TO arrest the parties con-
cerned. They all had their labor for their pains,
| and the whole town is at this moment convulsed
with the joke.
Mayor Davis is carrying out the (" native" prin-
cip!e fast and furious in his official administration.
He has begun at the bottom and means to build up
Accordingly, all the Irishmen in this city that have

all about the Streets in a perfect maze OF wonder

and then perhaps, they will do better.
The last political news that has come to town is,
that B. F: Hallett can be Collector at New Bedford
il he will take il, and if not, that he may go
in as y: s Marshal for this District, in place Of
Isaac P. Barnes, the recent appointee of Captain
Tyler. Knowing ne alternative, Hallett will pro-
badly spurn the former and put in for the latter

er and an ADLER ssolder," but the struggle to shake
him off will be one Of the most momentous con-
tests that hasyet occurred in Mr.: Polk admnisra
ton The consequences would be remote and i'm
portant; so much so that the most confident might
doubt-the boldest hesitate.
The wing party proper in this State, at least 80
far its representatives In the city Indicate,
preparing to make an union de bo1is non, with the
abolitoniss, and thus recruit sufficiently TO repair
the damage which the "native" movements like
y 10 do their ranks. think the policy suicidal 50
far as the wings are concerned, for they will
have to give every thing to their new allies,
and will get but little in return. There are
few old women of the most determined kind,
people into whom have entered the souls Of
Cromwell, Robespierre, and such like cattle, who
direct the energies of the abolition party, and
gro; to such as these the naughty whig party Of the
IOd Bay State must bow down, and make just such
terms as the aforesaid old women choose to
Impose. These terms will be hard enough,
for the aboitonists do not seek the alliance, and
the wings make all the advances What the result
will be, cannot tell you as yet, but perhaps the
whose especial business will be TO kick up fuss
in general with the slave holding States.
For my own part, hope that there will be found
enough sensible and patriotic wings to bolt from
any such arrangement, and thereby save the State
from shame and disgrace, and prevent the most Sc
rous danger which threatens the permanency Of
the Union: The abolition party, without doing one
particle of good to the slave, are doing more to
destroy the Union than all the nufers of South
Carolina, or Burr conspirators ever aimed at In
their pamlest days. l like the course which the
L
men must applaud your sagaclty and patriotism in
casting aside the mawklsh pretences Of humanity,

Continue to do Sc, and be assured, the effect in this
quarter at least, most salutary. The Herald has
grea. influence here on account OF Its ndepend-
ent position, and what it says is needed far more
than the interested lucubratlons OF the dull. um-
bering, corrupt party press. Guy FAUX.
