On Sunday last, says the Albany Register, q very
large audience attended the NJ Pearl street Baptist
Church. attracted in part by the fame and eoquence
of the pastor, DR.. WEIGH aud partly, we doubt not,
in consequence Of the announcement made from the
pulpit in the morning. that the rite of marriage would
be solemnized at the close Of the service. o
The theme of the Rev DR.. was the power and
goodness Of God chosen the basis Of an appeal TO
the christian charities and warm sympathies Of his
people, in behalf Of the needy widow and children Of
the late sexton Of the North Pearl street ChurchC.
s. Morton-who, though colored man. was noted
for his estiube christian character habits Of indus
try strict integrity, and learning and intelligence be-
yond the great majority Of his class and complexion.
The discourse was characterized by al the high and
admired qualities which have placed DR.. WEIGH in
the front rank Of pulpit orators and extemporaneous
preachers, and the appeal was not made in vain. In
the midst Of one Of his happiest Illustrations and
with voice and gesture admirably suited to the SEN
tinient he looked out upon the audinence and ex-
claimed-,Ihe Spirit and the Bride say, CoME''
The wedding party having been notified Of the
time fixed upon for the performance Of the nuptial
ceremony, had stationed themselves at the foot Of
the stairway in readiness for the signal which was
to be communated by the sexton. The latter when
he heard the exclamation--"IHe Spirit and the

audience saw the awkwardness Of the occurrence,
many understood the true cause of the mistake, and
all looked to see the preacher embarrassed and the
nuptial party placed in painful predicament. But
in this they were disappointed. Closing the sentence
thus curiously interrupted, DR.. WEIGH calmly step
ped down from the pulpit, and almost before the
echo Of his voice in the uterance Of his discourse
had died away, he was heard addressing the candi-
dates for marriage in manner most appropriate

The following correspondence settles
the question that that Mr. Thomas, not
only by his "Act'' but by his word de-
clared himself in favor of Reputation.
"1Ac otc,migM as rel rcpudiotc at once"
was his language. The honest voters of
Cecil, have thought differently, and the
day Of tie election will show no change
of opinion on their part.
Mr. THOMAS denied here, in his speech
in the court house, that his bill tend

one time, it will be seen by Mr.. Holly

alleged TO have taken place between the
Hon. Philip Francis Thomas and YOUR
self, at the December scsSonolSl3 ofthe
Legislature, on the subject Of the bill
then introduced by him, in relation to
the payment of the public debt. The
Wing State Central Committee, dceming
it very important that the views under
which Mr.. Thomas acted in Introducing
that measure, should be correctly under
stood by the people, have directed me to
ask, that You will be kind enough to state
in reply to this, what conYcr>alion, f
any, did occur between him ard your
self on the subject referred to.

to see him, and that they hayc determined to

opening of the ballot box the night Of the cleo

Here we may mention that certain locofocos

man of feeble intellect. These charges SO far as

by men who are themselves innate asses. The
fact is, he is a man of ability and has shown ii in
