Marriage i'm High Life

The New Orleans Picayatne contains a
humorous accounr: in letter from Nj
caragua. of the marriage Of the Princess
Adelaide Clotilda Louisa Squashee, sister
of the so-called Mosquito King, to
a sable gentleman, familiarly called
"Jim."
5 "The royal palace was tastefully deco
yrated with highly scented hides. Every
preparation being made for the celebra-
1 ton, the princess entered the pa ace hall
kunattended except by her pet goat.
! Her beautiful black hair, creased with
Apossum fat, hang in profusion over her
Shoulders, and contrasted finely with her
ksplendid dress, which was made of cof-
Nee sack. On the midd e finger of her
I right hand she wore rich and costly tin
ring, made from a sardine box. The
guests were all assembled, but the happy
lover had not yet arrived. The princess
became impatient, and went to seek him
! She found him playing at marbles: She
accosted him thus-"Jim, weddin' all
ready an you no cum!" Jim replied that
he had cum to the conclusion not to mar
ry, coSif he did Victory wouldn't give
her no more penshum' The princess
was terrified; but lucky thought struck
her. "Jim," said she, "bimeby my
bruther die, then you'll be king" The
words had their effect. Jim threw his
arm around the neck of the princess;
their lips met, the sound that followed
was like that heard pulling a bull ont of
the mire."

The Result.

Prior to the I'd Tuesday of October, we
were aware that combination existed
amongst certain clique of professed
Whigs-men who had been warmed into
existence, nurtured and cherished by
the Wing party, to defeat Gov. John
ston. We say prior, because we had it
from reliable sources, that the clique bad
declared that he should not succeed, if
they could prevent it. As early as July,
we received letter from a Wing MEM
Der of the State Convention, resident
of Philadelphia, and gentleman of un-
doubted veracity, stgting that Josiah
Randall, John M. Scott, Charles Gibbons
&c, and other Silver Greys, alias Buck
ram Wings, were nsing every effort, hon
orable and dishonerable, to defeat Gov.
Johnston. We were well aware that the
treacherons, ,dzStardly, sycoDhaaatic, lackSpat-
lie, Cooper was also using his influence to
defeat Gov. Johnston, but we felt that
the honest freemen of the State would
not permit the best Executive Pennsyl
wanna ever had to be beaten, and the in
terests of the State again placed in jeop-
ardy to crafty party spleen or the whims
OF dishonest politicians. In this, hoWev-
er, we were mistaken. Dishonesty has
triumphed over honesty--not Locofoco-
ism over Wqiggery, but combination
of unscrupulous demagogues over virtue
and truth; and if our friend McPherson's,
Of the Harrisburg american, conclusions
prove correct, so mate ii be- 1t will be
some time before Wing in the West
eanbc induced to support a Philadelphia
Cotton-lord, or Schuylkill traitor
