THE AzrEcs.-These singular little speci-
mems of humanity are on exhibition at the Iron
Hall. Apart from the romantic history which
is told Of them, they are worth a visit from the
curious. 1t is supposed by some that they are
unpleasant objects. Far from it. They are
clearly, and quite good looking and their faces
evince activity if not compass of intellect.
Whether they be specimens of q race hitherto
unknown, or the dwarfed offspring of Indians
and negroes, we do not pretend to decide

Warren CO., III, Dec. "a I852.-Uur princl-
Piles were not directly opposed here before the
election, but the leaders of the other parties
managed to keep up such strife between
them on other topics, as to INDUCE many who
are favorable to Free Democratic principles to
vote in their respective parties, for the sake Of
defeating the opposing party. These topics
will of course lose their Importance now, while
