DECEMBER Y, 1856.
To the Editor of tie Star;
1 cannot allow the purported official pre-
ceedings Of the jackson Democratic AssOcia-
ton il connection with the inaugural process
sion on the Ith Of March next, as given TO the
public, with the Unions editorial endorsement,
on the 18th Of December, to pass without some
notice from me, reluctant as / am to appear
publicly in the matter. The official account
of the proceedings to which 1 refer conflicts,
in my humble opinion, with the facts as they
occurred, and to some extent, affect my per.
sonal integrity. There is defectiveness Of
memory apparent on tie face Of the publica-
tion; for while at the commencement the Pres.
ident Of the Association certifes that he was
elected 10 be Chief Marshal for the 4th Ct
next, Jet at the close be attaches a note de-
clariAg that he was not so elected.$
Such ObliyiOusnessi in regard to one important
point leaves II to be preSumable that errors
may exist as to other pOints-in one at least
this is emphstically the case. The entire pro-
ceedings Of the Jackson Democratic Associa-
ton, as detailed in the Union Of the 18th inst
as having transpired on the I'D, occurred, if
they occurred al all, after the Association had
regularly and constitutiOnally adjOHTHsd. At
she early stage Of a meeting held on Monday
night last, a resolution having been offered and
the previous question moved thereon, desig-
4th of March next, that gentleman, who was
in the chair, called me to i'll being the frat
vice-president. Many motions were made with
n view to stave of action, when, finally, a
motion to adjourn having received, as l be-
heyed, decided majority of the votes present,
declared the Association adjourned until the
regular monthly meeting. There the record
ends; and if any further proceedings took
place on the night in question they are invalid
and unconstitutional. THOs j. CALI.
#The official account of the proceedings was
prepared by the Secretary not the President
Hence we take it, the discrepancy to which Mr..
Gait refers.
WESLEY CHAPEL-This beautiful edifce is
now fully prepared for occupation, and divine
service will be performed in it tomorrow,

Iation of the BibIe.'' This is the second
lecture Of the course. We congratulate the
energetic body Of gentlemen concerned in
erecting this handsome and convenient church
upon the satisfactory financial condition in
which they emerge from the undertaking Ga

temperance Of these performers some i'm
proVement upon their admitted excellence,
showing careful study and determination to
omit no point, little or great, tending to per-

IS not only one Of the best representatives, Of
Irish character upon the stage, but ne is
almost equally as good in every other line he
assumes. OF Mrs. Florence, the London Times
says:
:" She literally sparkles with vivacity; and,
while much Of her attraction depends on the
novelty Of the character she represents, she
must convince every spectator that, under
whatever circumstances she made her studies
Of humanity, she still would have been an In
telligent and efficient actress y
