ROMANCE AND MATRIMoNy.---Ih
Chief of the Choctaw Indians Of Arkan-
sas, DIR. Okah Tubbee, was married at
Niagara Falls lately, to charming
young white lady. who suddenly fell in
love with him while travelling on
steamer, and victoria-like proposed
that they should be married. He first
captivated her by his elegant flute play
ing. and then by the music ofhiswords.
as he is an accomplished man and
scholar. When about to part on the
steamer, at town, she "declared her
SELF" and the chief quickly responded
upon his knees, saying he had a vision
Of this happy event. They then parted
to make arrangements for the bridal.
and met the next day at Niagara Falls,
where the ceremony was consummated
on the banks Of the river, under the blue
arch of heaven, in the presence OF
friends. The first minister who was
called to officiate. after looking on a
while, shrunk from the task |; but one Of
more nerve being produced. he put the
matter through. The bride paid him
$50 in gold from her own purse. Mrs
Tubbee and her husband returned t
Medina. N. Y, the paper at which
place relates this affair. The chief goe'
to Europe shortly.

of Chestnut Grove, South Carolina, to Dr. Robt
D. Brown of Winston County Mississippi, very
much to the prejudice of General Quitman, the

at the election in November next
Believing that General Quitman is grossly mis-
represented in the letter of Mr. Lewis to DR..
Brown, one object in writing to you is to get the
truth of the matter. l therefore ask YOU to do
me the kindness to answer this letter immediately
upon It's receipt, and inform me whether in any
letter you may have received from General Quit
man he has avowed such sentiments as those at
tributed to him by Mr.. Lewis If not mproper
| would like to have copy of Gen. Quitman's
letter to you, or at least of that portion of it which
relates to the subject treated of in Mr. Lewis let
ter to DR.. Brown. You will presume, perceive
that another object have in view is, to use vour
reply to counterfeit any delterious effect that Mr.
Lewis letter may have on public opinion in refer
ence to Gen. Quitman, if the facts stated in Mr.
Lewis, letter should not be sustained by you.
Very respectfully,

Hynocr;tical Cant.

We observe that many of the Submission Jour
rails are indcting woeful jeremiads over the pros
pective expenses Of of the State Convention
These economical gentry deem it a very trfing
matter that the Southern people should be taxed
some 900, 900, for the purchase of Texan slave
Territory, to swell the vast domain of the hire
ling states. very trivial expenditure indeed, this
heartless squandering of only some millions, when
politicians find it necessary to conciliate Freesoil
ism by liberal bonus in order to secure sehe ele
walton of few political Sap-Heads and Party
Hacks. But ezpending few thousand becomes
in their estimation, highly criminal, if the pur-
pose is ascertaining the voice of Mississippi, on
the most vital questions ppble. policy. These
men who pour out the &C treasure with the
most lavish profusion at the behests of anti-sla-
very, suddenly grow strangely squeamish and Mig
gardly, when any measure is proposed that con-
templates concentration of public sentiment for
the protection of our home interests. Not dollar
is willingly devoted to the purpose of elicitng the
sentiment of our people, who desired to state dis
tinctly to what extent they would submit to be dis
franchised of their equality and despoiled of their
Rights.
As is usual with gentlemen of that ilk, they per-

tatves of the people, coming fresh from their con-

this we may safely predict for them general bust

precludes the possibility that any considerable
public expense should be incurred with proprety
