There is q bit OF romance connected with the
marriage OF Mr.. - to Miss -, announced
under the proper head in this paper lew days
ago. The parties have long resided in this
city, and are Of the first respectabilty. Some
months ago the lady became considerably at
tached to the gentleman, and by perfect phi
osophical, though perhaps somewhat rare coin
cidence, the gentleman entertained tender ~
gard f9r her, Neither breathed to the other
the secret Of which each was tendcriy conscious,
that happiness was only to be iousd in the 10
ciety Of each other Little thrilling dalliances
tender looks-lovers smooth tones every.
thing except the words II love you" that
could say it, fell from the lips Of each, and yet
the words remained unspoken.
The gentleman dreamed very pleasant
jream-that fair lady called him husband !;
Of rosy children making him sweetly, purely
happy by their innocent prattle-they were bis
children--they twined their little arms about
the neck Of the lady Of his heart, and called her
mother lie folded her TO his heart she was
very gentle. they were both very, very happy.
Dearest - the effort to address the OBJ
ject of his affections awakened him from deli
cious slumberings and dreamings. He was wide
awake--as wide awake as il be had slept till
he could sleep no more. He turned uneasy in
his bed to court those pleasant pictures back !;
ha that was the human form he touched -hu-
man breath upon his face-,he moonlight that
fell upon that fair face revealed the beloved
features Of the being who TO him was dearer
than all else.
His bosom heaved, his eyes diIstsd, and he
gazsd upon the quiet sleeper in nunutterable. un-
conscious astonishment The lips moyed-a
lair hand brushed back the glossy curls from
the high round fair brow, her eyes opened wake
FULLY and the beautiful girl gazed wildly upon
the face that bent upon her with such earnest,

idol Of his heart-cccupyi"g the sane couch

Even in Fillmores own district his own
candidate for Congress is beaten by the
democratic nominee The party is not
only dispersed, but its organization is
annihilated, and its rotten remains are
exposed to the scorn and contempt of the
world, Without representative in the
next Congress, its destitute members
have no basis of support, no point upon
which to rally. Necessity will compel
them to choose between democracy and
black republicanism.

"the ruling passion strong in death -
A ruffian from the beginning, its last
thirst was quenched in the gore of its
murdered victims. 1t died in the gut

in its bloody hand, and breathing out its
soul in ribald imprecations against the
Irish Catholic. The land is covered

WHAT THE COUNTRY THINKS
OF BALTIMORE.
Iron the N. G. Standard. !

Mr.. Fillmore mas received just eight
electoral votes out Of 296; and he has
run behind the Know-nothing strength
in all the Southern States. These eight
votes were obtained-not honestly, not
fairly, not by the peaceful exercise by
freemen of the right of suffrage by
threats, intimidation, and wholesale
slaughter. These eight votes are satu.
rated with blood. Seven or eight muir.
dered men and boys, and seveuty-ive
cruelty wounded ip the city of Baltimore,
will be the record which will 90 down to
posterity as part of the Know-nothine
achievement which resulted in these eight
votes. Know-nothingism began in Sc
cret, and got strength, and exulted in it
for season, by the strife which it en-
gendered between races and religions
and it has made its first showing of Flee
toral votes in blood-the legitimate con-
sequence of its doctrines and practices.
But it is weak now in the free States,
because black Republicanism absorbed
it; and it was thus absorbed because its
members there, bitterly as they hated
the naturalizcd citizen and the Catholic,
hated the Southern stakeholder still
more. Behold, then, the consequences
of know-nothingism as thus far revealed
-feuds and fighting between races of
men and strife among the followers of
Christ blood, riot, and murder at the
hollot bovac IN Rolt;,,o,o I ,,,:a..;lIo -. 1

[From the Alexandria (Ya.) Sentinel
Baltimore city seems to be diligently
engaged in nursing her reputation as the
mob city of the country. Slung shots
seem to be the playthings of her boys,
and pistols take the place of pop crack
crs; and as they grow up into manhood
they grow as young bears grow--one day
oder and two days worse, Thus the
streets become filed with outlaws and
murderers. AT the late riots more men
were killed than our army lost in some of
Gen. Taylor's Mexican victories. On
Sunday last another battle was fought,
lasting an hour, in which half a dozen
were killed Or wounded. Last night the
rioters were out coaxing up a fight
like the man who begged that some
gintleman would have the kindness to
tread on the tail of his coat" They
burnt Hon. Rcverdy johnson in effigy
on Monument Square after parading it
through the streets, while B. H. Rich
ardson, of the Republican, was in like
manner treated in the First Or Second
ward.

Coon vIcE.-The St. Louis Repub-
lican closes an article on the result of the
late election as follows:
"Now, that this hitter struggle is
over, we hope the excitement which has
grown out of it will subside, that bet
ter feeling will be manifested by citizens
of the various parts of the Union toward
each other, and that business will resume
its accustomed channels. The friends
of Mr.. Fremont, in the North, show al
together too much ill-temper and exas-
peration for either prudent or sensible
men, and we counsel them to take their
defeat, overwhelming as it is, like men.
They will make nothing before the coun-
try by INDUCING in idle threats of what
they will yet do, and may lead the peo-
pie to question the purity of their motives,
or the extent of their patriotism, when
they propose, as some of them do, to
push on this war of the North againstthe
South, reckless of the consequences. Let
us have truce of three years to come,
and then, if need be, the people of the
South, and the conservative people of the
whole Union, will be ready to meet them,
as they have done on this occasion, and
overcome them. But let us, we repeat,
have a season of peacc--of relief from
the unlicensed and outrageous abuse
which has been the staple commodity of
all the politicians, and all the presses,
and all the stump preachers of the North.
All we ask of our opponents is, TO BE
LET ALoNE-to give us equal rights and
privileges with themselves under the
constitution; and then, if we fail to act
our part as good ctizens--as men loyal
to the Union--as men sincerely DESTROYS
of being on terms Of good fellowship with
our brethren of the free States-we shall
be justly amenable to their censure, and
may expect popular sympathy to be with
drawn from us"
