the strength of the Order in May, 1854,

600 in the Union. Now he speaks of the
$50 councils in the State, and confidently
asserts that the party is invincible. Recre-

misfortune. congratulating him upon his
course. and enclosing material aid towards
paying his fine, in the shape of good, cur
rent bank bills. Among others, Senator
CHASE, of Ohio, has sent him, in letter,
