REPUBLICAN TTCKET.
The Ninth Di-rrTct.

The Ninth District.
The .Egis still keeps "pegging away" at
Alexander De Witt. If our neighbor is in
tensely opposed to him as a representative to
Congress, it seems to have an intense salts
faction in making him standing topic of
animadversion. 1t has very emphatically in
timated that he is traitor and a Cannibal;
and we are not certain that it has not like the
vindictive Tracy Tupman, Esq, called him
can individual" What else its genius, for
vituperation, will suggest as proper appella-
tive for the Colonel, is in the deep bosom of
the future buried. 1t seems, in the mean
time, to have exhausted its own battery of
abuse and has called into requisition the
small fire of its correspondents, which IS
now, to be played upon the Colonel. We
suggest that our worthy representative follow
the illustrious example of Lemuel CULVER,
Esq, that is. keep his spectacles before his
ewes and let the innoxious Belfuscians fire.
The .Fgis of the 25th inst, exalts one COM
munication which is feebly abusive of the
Colonel, into the dignity of leader. 1t is
modestly signed " Inyincible," and the mod
ssty of the signature is the only virtue to be
found in the whole article. Talleyrand de-
fined language to be an invention to conceal
mans true thoughts and " Invincible evil

litical camp, is now. Wing readers of the
.Egis, seeking an alliance with us of the
Ninth district" This paragraph is simply
tissue Of falsehoods, rounded off with glar-
ing, palpable, groundless lie. Colonel De-
Witt has not sought an alliance with the
wings of the Ninth district, and will not seek
such an alliance. He will gratefully receive
the voluntary votes of anti Nebraska wings,
as tribute to the manliness of his course in
Congress; but he will not bow to the wing
leaders in order TO receive such votes. He
neither seeks nor desires any alliance that will
compromise anti-Slayery wings, that may
vote for him, to his peculiar views on the tar
if, Sc, nor that will compromise him to the
vie Ms of the wings. on any of their peculiar
political distractions. He presents himself to
his whole constituency as friend OF freedom,
justice, and national honor. He does not pre-
sent himself at all to the wing party, seeking
an alliance with it. The wings may vote for
him if they choose, and we have no doubt
that many of them will, but those who do not
choose, should not do violence to their feelings
by doing so. Colonel Dewitt would be the
them in this way; and we assure them that
there will be no need for them to put them
selves out in the least; as the Colonel will be
elected in spite of them.
'Invincible' should be careful how he deals
out his personal malevolence towards Colonel
Dewitt. 1t will probably react, TO torment
its acrimonious, spiteful, venomous author.
FREE LEcTURE.-It will be remem bered that
Dr. Boynton commences his course of eight
lectures upon Geology, this evening, at the
City Hall-the fist being free. Those who
gain admission must, of course, go early. We
have seen (published) what appears to be an
admirable synopsis of these lectures, written
by a son Of D. E. Wheeler, ESQ.,, of New
York, only thirteen years of age, from memo
ry after the course had closed. This fact
shows the clearness with which DIR. Boyn-
ton presents his subject. The following is
one of the resolutions offered by Rev. DIR.
Cushman, of Boston, at the close of the third
course of lectures in that city:
ResOloed. That We regard ourselves debtors
to DIR. Boynton, for large measure both of
instruction and entertainment thai we con-

Notwithstanding a complex subject easy
of his illustrations, and the glowing animation
of his delivery, are suited in an uncommon
degree, to gain attention, as well as to reward
it; and that while we tender to him our
thanks for the instruction and pleasure he has
given us, we express our regret at his contem-
plated retirement from sphere of usefulness
for which he is SO well prepared, both by his
natural .endowments and his scientific acqui-
sltions.
UNIvERsALIsr SocIErY.--Our readers will
see by an advertisement in another column,
that the ladies and children connected with
this society are to have two festivals, this eve
ming and tomorrow evening, in the Horticul-
tural HALL Those who attend them will have
good time. The ladies of this congregation
are famous for the elegant manner in which
they get up such entertainments. There will
be some beautiful ta5teaur vira,sts ON Friday
evening.
In our notice Of Real Estate sales in yes
terday' paper, we stated that the building
lots sold at Quinsigamond village, on Statur-
