dismissed them, and Immediately put himself

We are pleased to learn from private
letter to gentleman in this city, that an
earnest desire is generally expressed in the
first congressional district that ANDREW j.
FLETCHER, ESQ.,, late Senator from the
Greeneville district, should be put upon
the electoral ticket. Mr. FLETCHER won
an enviable reputation during the late seS-
sion of the Legislature, as an able debater,
and he would carry the American banner
through the canvass with honor to himself
and his party. He is thoroughly verSed in
the political history of the country, and
from his acknowledged ability upon the
hastings, we are not surprised that our
American friends in the first district should
endeavor to press him into the coming can
vass. Should he receive and accept the
nomination of elector for the first district,
we predict that the gain for the American
party in that district will equal, if not ex-
coed, that of any district in the State.
We say this without intending the slight
est disparagement to the many talented
Americans in the first district. We know
Mr.. FLETCHER, and are satisfied that he is
the man for the position, and must be per-
mitted to express the hope that he will be
assigned the post.

A HeartIess villain and IA HasIy Mar
Tiage.


1t is stated in the Buffalo Commercial that
about three months since young man, of gen.
teel appearance and agreeable demeanor, took
up bis residence in a clearinghouse in that
town, became acquainted with young and
respectable female, and soon succeeded in Undue
ing her to become his wife, The sequel is thus
told:
"After the wedding he removed TO a new
boarding place, where he commenced a system
Oftyrannical abuse unworthy OF a man. He con
tinued living with her up to few days ago;
since then he has been missing. He left, taking
with him all of bis clothing and whatever
available property he could lay his hands upon,
and has not since been heard of Before leav-
ing he made strenuous efforts to get possession
of the marriage certificate which she had, but
aid not succeed.
at is presumed that he has removed TO some
other locality to undertake similar operations.
1.-THE poor girl he has thus deceived and
forsaken is now alone, among strangers com
paraGvely, with ruined hopes, and future
looming up black and dark.
"The gay Lothario halls from the vicinity
of Boston, is Of medium height sandy hair,
light eyes, and of square build. He possesses
Gpretty good gift Of language aud an extraordi-
anry amount Of assurance"
This is the old story, and may be summed
up in the words with which we have headed
this article-"A heartlsss william and hasty
marriage" Will the gentler sex never be
admonished Cases of bigamy are ofconstsnt
occurrence, while thoughtless marriages, with
their bitter fruits, take place from day to day,
and yet the delusion and creduity appear to be
as prevalent rs ever. The idea of marrying a
stranger, one of a few weeks acquaintance,
and without any previous knowledge of his
habits and character, is so short-sighted and
absurd that it is difficult TO believe in the exs
tence Of such a monomsnia. Marriage, even
under the most favorable circumstances, is
perhaps the most important event of lire, while
those who wed rashly and without due inquiry
as to the character Of their companion con-
NIT, 10 say the least, most egregious act OF
folly PHILADELPHIA Inquirer

the other, emitting the pledge to abide by
and maintain, commits the party to the
enforcement of the laws, the fugitive slave
law and Kansas-Nebraska law included.
But the Union and american thinks under
the February platform, Northern Ameri-
cans in Congress are released from all obi
cation not to vote for the repeal of the
fugitive slave and Kansas ebraska acts
No National American in Congress or out
of it, land we fellowship with none who
are not conservative and national, desires
OF would vote for repeal of either of the
laws named We do not believe a bill to
repeal either could get the votes of all the
Black Republicans in the House of Rep
resentatives. They do not desire the re-
peal. Evidence of this is afforded by the
recent action of the Ohio Legislature,
which voted down by large majority,
resolution proposing the restoration of the
Missouri Restriction. We have no fears
on that head. We believe that after the
Presidential election shall have been deter
mined, and no motive is left for further agi
tation, no one will even talk Of restOra-
ton of that restriction We hope the
Union and american will dismiss its fears
If it believes in the justice and constitu-
tionality of the principle of non-interven-
ton, it should entertain livelier hope of
the acquiescence of the whole country in it.
