In one OF the Western papers we observe
an account OF a marriage ceremony. perform.
ed on board a Steamboat, the parties never
having met until they began their VOYAGE
together to the Crescent city. The narrative.
is given with various flourishes of rhetoric
as if the affair was a subject of p, ide aud
imitation. Perhaps, in the present instance,
the editor may be correct. But. as a general
rule, the old proverb is right which saws
tat people who ''marry in haste repent at
leisure"
We cannot approve consequently, Of the
applause bestowed on transactions like this.
There are foolish couples enough in the
world, ready to rush into mat'imonv with
out torethonght, and prepared to think that
1t is line thing to have the cermony come

The evil Is becoming really serious one

this fashion, American weddings will vet

1t has been said that marriage is a lot.
terry" No one ever questioned that il was,
when people welded on a short acouain
tance: but the remark is not true, if made
respecting marriages after due ,n.imacv.
No doubt, the closest friendship, before mar.
riage, will be insufficient ta meet intirelv
the mutual characters of. the pair to each
other But, in proportion to the length of
the acquaintance, and the common sense of
the lovers, will be their knowledge of the
foibles of one another. Nor is this all

Kentucky, or the illustrious Judge Loring
the able, learned and incorruptible iu-
rist who would have been removed from
office by the base and corrupt nullifers of
Massachusetts for his devotion and fidelity
to the Constitution, in demanding the fugi-

for the noble and honorable course of
Gardner-as his successor.
The gross and fraudulent speculations
of Reeder in Indian lands, his un6tnsss for
the Gubernatorial chair of this Territory,
his connivance with the Aid Societies, and
the future welfare of our Territory all COM
bine to place the necessity of his removal
from the Executive chair beyond all ques-
ton. He ought to be removed forthwith,
and such person appointed as the citizens
of our Territory shall recommend for the
station. Their wishes ought to be consulted
in matter of so much moment not only to
themselves, but to one.half of this Confed-
eracy. If Reeder is not removed, we hope
the citizens of Kansas will forcibly eject
him and elect Governor for themselves.
