on consecutive nights, thus maintaining round oil

night which may be selected. Tom Thumb has of
fered to perform under Mr.. Barnnms own supervision
every night and at every place while and where the
benefit lasts, and Mr.. Cough has offered the entire
proceeds of of his famous temperance lectures at
the Academy of Music-enOugh for pretty good
start at all events Some of the newspapers toe
have offered to do all the necessary advertising ol

Convention Of the 4th Of March, 10 inform Hon.
James Buchanan that he is the unanimous choice Of

which have not sougit hut because this nornina-
