The Kensinston Massacre.

In order to show that the Kensington massacre
was not sudden outbreak, but that it was the re-
suit of settled, deliberate, premeditated conspi-
racy against American citizens we ask attention
to the following. This statement was originally
prepared for the "Daily American" in which pa
per it appeared soon after the first massacre, and is
adopted here, because it is a statement founded
on facts that have never to this day been dis
proved or shaken in one single particular; but arc
fully sustained by the post ample, legal, and all
thentic testimony.
The proper starting place, from which we may
arrive at Just conclusions is the foundation Of the
Philadelphia city and county American Republican
Associations.
In the early part of December, 1S43, meeting
Of Native American citizens was convened at a
hall on the Ridge Road, in the district Of Spring
Garden, Philadelphia, who formed the first Phila.
dephia Association. That its principles may be
fairly understood, we present them here as adopt

SUICIDE AT THE GAMING TABLE
A terrible scene occurred at Wiesba-
den very recently. A young man, said
to be an officer in the Dutch service,
who has for some time past been a
yearly frequenter Of the "Kursaal,"
and had just lost everything be pos
sessed at play, blew out his brains
while sitting at the gaming table. A
week only previous to this event an
English officer destroyed himself IN
der like circumstances at Hamburger.
1t is said that the Duke of Nassau will
shortly expel the bell-keepers from bis
domipipns, and that he will exert his
influence with other German princes to
induce them to do the same.

ABLY FAILS ON FRIDAY.-Much sur

caused in the city during the last thir-
teen or fourteen weeks. in consequence
of the Northern mail having failed on

ton of the circumstance was yesterday
given us. 1t appears that about three
months since Sabbatarian movement
took place in Virginia, which resulted
in the railroad cars ceasing to run on
Sundays. The fruit of this measure
is that the Saturday mails from New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington lie over for twelve hours
in Virginia, and do not arrive in New
Orleans until Saturday morning.

Immortality Attained.

The aim and object Of every man,
is to make a mark on the contempor-
airy page of the worlds history. A
mark that will last long enough-at
any rate, for the generation to read
that comes after him. It is vain in
deed, for any ambitious aspirant for
fame, TO expect all bis noble deeds and
virtuous actions TO be chiselcd into
his tomb stone, by some "Old Nor
tally" and kept fresh by tho peckIng
of the old gentleman's progeny, that
come after him, and inherit success
lively his shoes. What signifies it, to
say on the tomb of the departed,
{" Hic jaeet, Demijohn J. Jones, An
honest man is the noblest work of
God9" Nothing For the same, hath
been said for thousand others. So;
too much reliance should not be plao.
ed on an epitaph. This is understood by
the living breathing and moving pan
Drama Of humanity, and fer this main
reason it is, that every man starts out
in life, to seek glory and immortality,
that he may turn it to account before
he dies. Some wear out the seats of
all their best breeches writing books
Others wear away the bellows arrange
ment of their lungs in making great
speeches; some kill themselves with
profanity. Glory is the object, glory
is the end. We have been publishing
this immaculate newspaper now, over
five calender years, and with eyes
closed, have been batllpg,away for the
laurel crown, and here, when we were
about to despair, of ever being able to
put foot on the top-most round of the
ladder, an mcog gentleman over in the
parish of st. Helena, comes to our re-
lief and writes us down in verse
immortal verse, and all that we have
labored for, to the great prejudice Of
our best pants, brains and may be
hearts done" How we shall ever
repay The kindness of the st. Helena
