And 20 many fat slices can be cut off her fauks, too
without killing ber-beefsteaks a FAbyssiaie,
enough to make the mouths Of the most Grahamite
of Office seekers water, when they once get within
scent and touch of them. At any rate, there is to
be an attempt to Gust the Know Nothings from the
CITY Hall,-a fate which they richly deserve for
the dscredit they did the city by the original cleo

Hon. Horace Mann gave an excellent discourse,
and Mr. Starr King read spirited poem by Mr..
Whittier. The letter of Mr.. Garrison declining to

against Mr.. GarrisoD's course, has been that the
slsy, holders make such Judes Of themselves In
their attempts at self defense that IL makes more
