with pure and ardent a return. But her relations
disapproved the match The princes paiernal es-

His balls and entertainments were so magnificent as

iesss father became suddenly gracious and soon no
thing talked Of in st. Petersburg but the mar
riage of the two lovers. OF The origin of the enor
fortune of the bridegroom, to which this change
in the sentiments Of his future ather-in-aw was un

of the blissfu existence the young couple were GER

one twelyemonth total and terrible change took
place in the character Of the prince. Hitherto
noble, generous, and conRding, he became, on
sudden, jealous, suspicious, impatient, and ca

wife; and TO the unbounded astonishment Of every
body who had known him before his marriage treat

to strike her In one year the beautiful and daz-

adorers, could not be recognised in the care-worn

AZ Couldn't you get young pork, MAN, to bake
with your beans" said old Roger somewhat cynic-
ally, as he sat at table one Sunday.
"They told me it was young" said the andlady
"Well it may be so, but grey hair is not juvenile
eatur by any means, in our latitude maam, contin-
ued he, fishing up grey hair about foot and half
long with his fork HE may have been young, but
he must have lived very wicked life to be grey so
SOON" -,
As he spoke he looked along the table, and slight
emotion was visible among the boarders; and the
man who sat opposite with his mouth full of the ed-
oles with which he had been endeavoring to smother
laugh, grew dark with the effort, and then colaps
ed, scattering dismay and crumbs amid the nicely
plated folds of old Rogers shirt frls.

Gen. TAYLOR IN TENNEssEE.--In Tennessee, the
Memphis Enquirer says, we may confidently assert
Gen. Taylor is he choice of the entire Wing party,
and will be supported by large numbers of the mode
rate-minded and patriotic Of the democrats We do
not believe that any conventions or caucusses

people in every quarter Of the Union have sufficient

genuine republican to see to 1t that they are not

Great Taylor Meeting in Alabama.

On the 10th instant, tremendous Taylor meeting
was held at Montgomery, Alabama, for the purpose
of taking steps to select Taylor Electoral Ticket for
the Presidency. Without further remark we subjoin
the remarks of that sterling and steady Wing paper
the Montgomery Journal upon the subject, and its
account Of the meeting
THE TAYLOR MEETING.
The meeting held last night Q6th ofNovember) in
the Court House for the purpose Of putting in mo-
ton the ball for the peoples candidate the hero OF
the Rio Grande, was the most satisfactory and en-
thusiasc affair that il ever our lot to Witness
The concourse was immense, and the feeling Of an
intense excited patriotism which over-rode every
emotion Of party or selfish nature. The preserva
ton of the country, the constitution and the SOUTH
by the elevation of Gen. Taylor, was the common
altar on which distinguished politicians of all parties
for the welbeing Of their country offered up their
cherished preludices. 1t was emphatcaly PEOPLES
meeting and their united and fervid responses to the
sentiments of the resolutions showed how deep was
their feelings of love- reverance and admiration for
the character Of their great leader and their trusting
faith in his ability TO redeem the republic.
The speaking was Of high nature, such as only
such feeling, such subject, and such an occasion
could inspire. We have never heard eloquence of an
higher order. Messrs Beman, Belser, Hilliard New
man, and ALL seemed inspired with that feeling which
is the main spring Of true eloquence-ove of coun-
try The remarks Of Messrs. Belser and Newman,
from their prominent positions politicians were
in the highest degree animated patriotic and decided
We regret that want of space precudes more ex-
tended notice Of their remarks. The subject was one
for eloquence. 1t eloquent in high heroic achieve
ments, unparalleled in all time-in his pure, incor-
ruptible integrity lofty unspotted honor-genuine,
answering american republicanism, and the COM
bination in his character of all those great qualities
which go to form the hero and the republican patriot
The motto of the meeting was Country ADORE Par
"" and the tumultuous cheering of the immense
concourse which thronged the Court House showed
how fervant and universal was love of country i'm
planted in the heart of masses. So intense was tho
enthusiasm that the audience, though the hour was
late, was unwilling to dispense, and the meeting was
adjourned over until tomorrow night.

The War AND ITS FRuITs.-We are not, says the
Petersburg WAY Gazette, among those who denounce
the present " as an unjust and unrighteous war;
On the contrary we believe that the S. might have
logged Mexico at any time, within the last twenty
years, and both right and justice would have sane
toned the proceeding. That nation had forfeited all
claims to our forbearance long before the annexation
of Texas, and that measure was made the occasion,
but was not good cause for the commencement of
hosti!ities We do not quarrel, them wirh the Ad-
minisraton about the right or justice of bringing
this war, but in regard to the expedency Of that

Mn. ScorIELD Some time since, Mis- Laura Vir-
ginia Clement, of Washington city, came visiter
to our city, for the recovery Of impaired health.
While here she endeared herself to many friends,
around whose hearts the fragrance Of her spirit yet

stand by the bedside of an apparently dying sister
that sister, however, eventually recovered but your
paper has recently announced the death of LAURA ;
whose last sickness was endured with perfect COM
posure and peace, during which, she often reverted
to her pleasant visit to this city and the holy Joy she
had felt in minging in religious worship with the
youthful friends she had here made
The lines which follow were in consequence penn

her memory and of sympathy with the bereaved
ones of her household, who mourn her loss BY
giving them place in your paper, you will confer a

BosroN CorR1ER.--This journal contained says
the Boston Post, a few days since, Memorial of

American, published in the neghborhood of Mr.. Cal

South Carolina members of Congress, says they are

the Messenger remarks that "a third party will advo

TELEGRAPHIC ENTERPRIsE.-Prof Botsford, says
the Parkersburg, Va, Gazette, passed through Par
keraburg last Saturday. ON his return from grand
tour of exploration, up the Great Kanawha, ncross
the Mountains to Staunton, and thence, down the
Valley of Virginia to Harper's Ferry This tour was
undertaken and made for the purpose Of ascertanng
the pracucability Of constructing line of Magnetic
Telegraph by that route to connect with the Eastern
and Western Line at Harper's Ferry, and with the
Ohio Line at Pomeroy. Mr.. Botsford informed us
that he had made his report and had reported favora-
bly, to the proposed undertaking. The utility and
advantage Of this work cannot be doubted

There Is one point says the Louisville Courier, in
Mr. Clays resolutions in which there seems to be
inconsistency with his former views important
occasion; and as we have already laid before our
readers Mr.. Clay's views of Mr. Madison's seizure
of the disputed territory between the Perddo and the
Mississippi rivers cannot think 1t important to
wait for the speech in explanation of Mr.. Clays rea-
sons for thinking Mr.. Madison right in doing what
is impolitic and unconstitutional in Mr.. Polk

The recent movement in Kentucky, of which Mr..
Clay is the author is destined to agitate the whole
country powerfully Let Mr.. Clay advance one step
farther In the right path and give unconditional free
dom to his slaves and, old as he is, and defeated
he often has been, he may yet reach the goal at
which he has long aimed, and triumph over his OPP
ponents. Such an example from him would tell
powerfully against the slave system Of the South and
do much to give Joy every lover Of the free nstitu
tons Of this republic. Without doing it, he can ne
yer be President of these United States.
Boston Wing.
We have heard it frequently said Of late that Mr..
Clay does actually intend to emancpate all his slaves
but even If he does entertain any such intention we
are that 1t is not based upon the consideration
thrown out by the Boston Wing. He could have had
the Presidency long since if he had stopped to it. and
we do not believe that he is going, at the close of
life to beg at the hands Of the advocates of Negro
Freedom, even if they could give it to him by act
propitiatory Of their hostile sentiments.
