Ii men go a ersbbing in tub without a bottom. they must expect 10 get hsherman's luck, and reDent at leisure when they get dry. We ven ture the assertion that SchuYkill and Lehgh will do hetteTn hereafter, without waiting for the advice of Thaddeas Stevens; II they don't may the Lord help them and their interest.

We wonder why the conservaioTs ol the Republic were not carried along with the Organ-maker, to tell posteriiy which were his speeches aud which the substttuies. Their touching euogy upon The death of Tiger, celebrated double e-nosed, yellow patched Boston btoodhound of the first family few days since and their frank acknowledgements of their amiahle weakness for Washington pork, circum- cised or uncircumcised, surely entitled them 10 a right to visit the Syracuse cattle show with Uncle Zachariah and the rest of he brethren.
