Cured at the st. Nicholas. With such state
of facts staring us in the face, how pharisai-
cal, how wicked to attempt to arouse sec
tional prejudice in the community, the effect
of which will be to prevent the jury that may
be charged with the investigation of the pri-
soners crime from celebrating dispassionate
ly and to tempt the public to look with un-
deserved suspicion upon the verdict they may
render
THE SARATOGA CoNvENT1oN.-The New
York Herald publishes the names appended
to call for mass meeting, to be held in the
Park, New York, on the 9Th inst, to appoint
delegates to the Saratoga IN. ~ Conven-
ton, and ''for the purpose in the language
of the call, "of expressing their views in re-
lation to the growing aggressions and assump-
tons of the slave power" The names are
composed of ree-soil Wings Free-soil De-
mocrats, and Free-soilers and Abolitionists
proper. There are some names there which
We never expected to see in such a list-men
who have made their fortunes out of the pro-
now sting to death the bosom which has
warmed them into life. The name of M. H.
Grinnell heads the committee, and Emmett,
Bradie Hoxie, Chaplin, Bryant, Beecher, and
other such strange bed-fellows are nestled
together in loving companionship. The He
raid is of opinion that there may be some
spoils in this movement worth looking after.
New PUBLIcATIoN.-We are indebted TO
Mr.. A. Morris for Orr Honeymoon, and
other COmicalities," from " Punch" With
original illustrations by j. McClenan." We
cannot imagine more delightful and refresh
ing book for the season. 1t is better than
bowl of cold punch in the middle of hot
day, for it leaves no headache nor heart
ache. The wit is the wit of the London
Punch, which is enough said. The ingre-
dents of which this Punch is composed are
the rich humor of the lamented Hood, of
Dickens, Thackeray, Mark Lemon and Doug
las Jerrold. The, most exquisite things in
Punch are collected in this volume. The
book is gotten up in elegant style, and the H.
Illustrations are capital. For sale by Mr.. A.
Morris.
The WATERING PLAcEs-We confess that
when we hear, now days, of rows at North
ern Watering Places between Southern gen
tlemen and negroes, our sensibilities are not
so much aroused as formerly. If people v i'll
go among abolitionists and impudent free
negroes, they must be prepared for the conse.
quences.
SIrKA.-The New York Express saws II is
certain that if Sitka and the whole Russian
possessions, are to be bought up, they must
come into the Union free soil. They have
ice and snow nine months in the year, and no
one but Yankee can cultivate these pro-
ducts. Sitka, the Express thinks, will help
to offset Cuba, which is certain to come in.
LAY OF SAN JUAN-A New York journal
in the rural districts, satirizes the lombard.
ment of San Juan after the following fash.
