A large audience was present at the Odeon last
evening, to hear the lecture of Mike Waish-who
favored us with visit on his way from Washing
ton TO New Y0rk-before the mechanics of our
city. The interest which Mike has evinced in be-
half of the working men, secured the attention of
his auditory; and his speech, which was about an
hour in length, received the repeated applause Of
all in attendance. He exhibited the wretched con-
dition of his fellow working men-their oppression
BY monied capitalists-the defects Of society, by
which this state Of things is produced-the heart
less Indifference of working men for each others
interest; and closed by an appeal to them to make
a mighty effort to produce reform. His ready wit,
and macs of anecdotes, called forth laughter and
applause, though some were incline to think that
Mike had a ready-made stock on hand for all occa-

mense crowd of persons, anxious to catch glimpse
of one suspected at committing such horrid muir

were unable to obtain an entrance, remained in
the vicinity to the prisoner, when conducted to
the jail. After great deal Of trouble in obtain

From the latest accounts of TOrrey, confined

Can any OF our friends at the North tell US what

The american Republicans" of our city have
been making strenuous efforts to org anlze, but it
seems impossible to instill sufficient courage into
the parry induce them to fully prepare for battle
They seem conscious o. their own weakness and
are afraid to make the desired effort, as failure
might ruin the W hole project. The organ of the
party here has endeavored to inspire the party with
courage by vehement pleadngs, but all in vain
The wings have been quite astounded by Senator

and judgment are embodied in that same editor,
when he writes on some subjects intimately con-

and judge.
