Coal dealers are not, as rule, in the habit Of
setting an example of high virtue or stern an
tique probity. Many q man would find if he
weighed his coal, that the establishment of a
general weigher's Office would save him scores
of dollars year. The old story Of the wooden
nutmegs and hams falls into the shade beside
the adventure Of one Of our public schools,
which, lot long since, ordered from coal dealer
its usual supply of coal for the winter, namely
seventy tons. The dealer filed the bins, and
asked where he was to put the thirty-six tons
for which he could not find room. "No room, y

as we can, have it weighed before us with rea
weights, and agitate for the free admission o

that the whites of Cuba desire annexa-

as the only means Of preventing their attain

island be emancipated by Spain. This, he
thinks, wonld not be likely to please the
Creoles: but "the Spanish government cannot
refuse to follow the example Of the other ma
tions Of Europe" and such a consideration as
this should outweigh the hopes and wishes Of the
Cubans. Our object in seeking to annex Cuba,
according to NJ. Ray mond, is to provide mar

were abolished in Cuba, our hankering after

more than realized, and having now, as they
never had before, the spontaneous acknowl-
edgment Of the masses Of both the great po-
litical organizations, of the justice and wisdom
Of their past course, the Free Democracy will
not falter. Willing at any time to yield up their
organization, whenever it was apparent that
the other parties were willing to unite in a
movement to roll back the tide of slavery ag-
erosion, and to stay the torrent of executive
corruption, they are not to be lurcd from the
course they have taken, by any sham pre-
fences Of hostility to slavery, made by party
which is now striving to retain in its frater-
nal embrace, the men who have just cheated
the North of its most sacredly guaranteed
rights, and offered millions of acres of free
soil, to the accursed influences of chattel
slavery.
Whatever designs the Wing leaders may
have, Of rallying the Free Democracy, under
their banner, by quoting from anti-Nebraska
Wing speeches, and pointing to anti-Nebraska
Wing votes, as a proof of their present sin
cerity, they will be doomed to most certain
disappointment. By their past acts they are
known, and the people dare not trust to their
keeping, as at present organized, the sacred
and patriotic duty of rolling back the tide of
Southern aggression. Their slaveholding al
lies have always bent them to their purposes,
and while the present organization endures,
they always will. Not by the Wing party,
not by the Democratic party, not by the Free
Democracy alone, is the battle for Freedom to
be won. To build up the wall of partition
between Slavery and Freedom, which has
been thrown down by the legislation of 1854,
will require the united efforts of the honest
and patriotic men of all parties. Sacrifices
must be made, party lines must be obliterated,
union and harmony must prevail in the ranks
of all who are opposed to the aggressions of
the South, and by these means, alone, can a
certain and complete triumph be achieved
If the members of the Wing party see fit to
second the insane efforts of their leaders, they
will have the satisfaction of knowing, that
the party which was called Wing, still main
tains its familiar name, but without pow or in
the nation, and they will see the most glorious
opportunity lost forever, which was Gfer pre-
scented, of again administering the Govern
ment in the spirit of its founders, and, accord
ing to the true intent and meaning of the
Constitution.

The BURNS RESCUE CAsBs.-It is expected
that the +" Burns not cases will be made the
first business of the new Grand Jury (of the
Municipal Court) in July. 1t seems, howev-
er, to be the opinion of those best qualified to
judge, that no bills will be found for murder,
from the absence of satisfactory proof that
any murder was committed. The evidence in
regard to the death of Batchelder has indeed
been as confused as the scene itself, and there
seems no reason to expect any new informal
ton upon the subject. In the evidence against
Mr.. stowell, there are also especial contradict
tons and difficulties.

crowded. Admirable arrangements had been

successful Crooked in the Cradle of the
Deep" by Mr.. j. B. Hector, was admirably
executed. The duo, " Arrayed in Clouds"
by the Misses Margaret and Maria Neon

a delightful musical reunion, and seemed to
be highly appreciated by those present.
