A rwIcE-ToLD TALE.-Three or four Of the morn
ing papers treat their readers with repetition OF
that dreadful tale from Nicaragua, about the "high
handed" doings of Mr. Chatfield; how he took pos
session of Tgre Island, bit thumb at Mr. Squier,
and perpetra ted divers other enormites under the
presumed" instigation of Lord Palmerston.
What's in the wind now' For what effect is all
this dire intelligence again poured into the of
the patient public? There is not an additional fact
mentioned; the story is almost word for word the
same that was published three or four weeks ago;
and in the mean time Sir Henry Bulwer has come
to talk it all over with Mr.. Clayton II seems to
that the newspapers might well leave it for a
while in the hands of the two diplomatisis.

'"THE WAY OF THE TRANsoREssoR HARD.-A
correspondent of the Boston Post, writing from
Northampton, says that two rogues were taken
from the jail, on the day of election, marched
to the polls by committee, and compelled to vote
the Wing ticket"
If the above were true, the inference to be drawn
from it would be, that the class of persons alluded
to naturally inclined to vote the Locofoco ticket
and only vote the Wing ticket when .scompelled."
