that this recreant Northerner has thus Sc shown
his hand, - and that of his party. Let it be re-.

the mean time, we here take occasion to say,
that we would prefer, a thousand times, to see

who upholds the principles of that northern trai.

This gentleman's course of Lectures was con-
clnded on Wednesday evening. So great was
the qualification of those who have heard Mr..
BRoNsoN's lucid and familiar illustrations and
expositions of the great Laws of Life and
Health, as manifested in the human structure,
and the true method and philosophy of develope-
ment, that several of our best citizens united in
requesting him to repeat the Course. We re-
greet that his engagements are such as to pre-
vent his compliance.
Mr.. BRoNsoy has, however. consented to de-
vote THIS Evening exclusively to Reaijags and
Reciations, at the Baptist Church. We hope
the house will be crowded. The Speakers
complete mastery of his voice enables him to
give the varieties Of elocutionary expression

UWe copy the following from the Pbiladel-

incredible. Our orn Telegraph. however, will

we can have the daily proceedings of Congress
in ten minutes after their adjournment !

~ This number of our paper will reach a
large portion of our subscribers on the morning
of the day which, by the almost unanimous con-
sent of the Christian World, is hailed as the
Anniversary of the Nativity Of the Divine Re-
deemer of mankind. Christmas, for more than
1000 years certainly, has made the hearts of the
Old glad, and of the Young "merry," by its
joyful return. The day signalizes the opening
development of that Sublime Scheme for the
only true welfare of man, which was founded
in Infinite Love. Its observance, therefore, has
a higher sanction both in the consciences and
in the annals of Christian men, than that of any,
or all, other Anniversaries combined.
In every sense of the Salutation, then-as it
respects the social affections, and the higher re-
lations of our nature-we most cordially and
heartily wish our Subscribers
A MERRY CHRISTMAS!

'The evidence which satisfied our mind OF the facts

therefore briefly state it. In the Journal OF Commerce,

What this course is to be | will not undertake TO

will be forthcoming in about four weeks.

Upon the disclosure, in this Letter, OF the intention
OF the President to recommend TO Congress To- take
" the way the French took " in regard To our difteren-
ces with Mexico, we made such comments as SO scan
dalous n proposition as the bombardment ana dock
ade OF Vera Cruz, OF any measure OF n IKE character,
upon the plea Of unsa,istied claims OF the United
States, seemed to vs. to deserve. Whcreupon, out up

against war with Mexico; but not denying a syllable OF
