After few brief and eloquent remarks
from the chair, in explanation of the objects
Of the meeting, the following preamble and
resolutions were unanimously adopted.
Whereas, 1t has pleased our worthy Post

from Office, Benjamin Chase--a hereto
born--a man abandoned to sin ahd the
lusts Of the fesh-denying the doctrine of
the Immaculate conception and the Pope's
Vicar Generalship of God Almighty and
consequently unfit for the important trusts
devolving upon Postmaster.

his polished and courtly manners and a.
bove all, his pure Celtic origin, his entire

the appointment Of our friend, Michael Flynn
as Postmaster at Marshall, and that we will
support Postmaster General Campbell for
next President of the United States.
Resolved, That we will EMPLOY the en-
CINE thus placed in our power to counteract
the insiduous wies and demoniacal machi-
nations of the Know Nothings, and thus ad-
vance the colonization Of America by true
Irishmen.
Resolved, That this meeting deems it i'm
polite, to permit the transmits sion of Know
Nothing papers through the office, until fur
Their odvices can be received from, Arch
Bishop Hughes.
Resolved, That the thanks of the meeting
be rendered to Counselor Sly for the able and
dignified manner in which he has presided

Ell Paso Sunk.

The New Lucy up yesterdy morning, re-
ported the steamer Ell Paso sunk, few
miles below Boonville. She struck some
obstruction, sunk and broke in two. She
left here Monday afternoon, having taken on
board two hundred and fifty barrels Of -four
for Messrs Harrison & Co., and about one
hundred dry hides for Messrs. Manson s.
Bartholow. The freight she took from here
was insured in the Etna office-the flour
at SO per Dbl. We presume the boat will
prove an entire loss.

TI,e f.raomsran ia his Mistress.


Every wedding, says the ProverD,
Makes another, soon or late,
Never yet was any marriage
Entered In the book Of fate,
But the names were also written
OF the patient pair that wait.
Blessing then upon the ev'ning,
When my friend, with fondest look,
By the solemn rites permission,
To himself his mistress took,
And the destinies recorded
Other two within their book.
While the priest fulfilled his office,
Still the ground the lovers eyed,
And the parents and kinsmen
Aimed their glances at the bride,
But the groomsmcn eyed the virgins
Who were waiting at her side.
Three there were that stood beside her,
One was dark and one was fair,
But nor fair nor dark the other,
Save her Arab eyes and hair;
Neither dark nor fair ! call her,
Yet she was the fairest there.
While her groonsman-shall own it
Yes, to thee, and only thee
Gazed upon this dark-eyed maiden
Who was fairest of the three,
Thus lie thought: aHow blest the bridal
Where the bride were such as she.''
Then i unused upon the adage,
Till my wisdom was perplexed,
And / wondered, as the churchman
Dwell upon his holy text,
Which of all who heard his lesson
Should require the service next.
Whose will be the next occasion
For the flowers, the feast, the wine?
Thine, perchance, my dearest lady,
Or, who knows?-it may be mine:
What if 'twere-forgive the fancy
What If It were-both mine and thine?
