There's a tradition, false or true,
OSE bridegroom had 80 much TO do,
lie barely managed 10 get through
His business, when the wedding minute
Arriv cd think there's something in II;
No wonder then he got bclated.
lie has 20 shave and do his dressing
So hastily-the case was PRESSING
lie couldn't get entirely through
His wedding clothes, untricd and new,
80 rolled them up an inch or two.
MARRY IN haste, repent at leisure
But this Ill -natured sentiment
For such as him was never meant,
Since truly might person say,
Not ever. since that wedding dav,
Has re found leisure 90 repent
OF course he's had to be content,
And though so much OF time has He'd,
Since on that night those four were we'd,
Ye: al are living hale and wcl
Surely there was blessing fell
On tina, twin wedding. Soon well name
How other blessings duly came,
And then ''irdnd' blessings, fair and Fat,
Most of them boys, but what of that
How must the bride have felt ON waking
After the Wedding merry making,
With scent of breakfast biscuit baking
And other savory cooking victual,
To hear the CRY. s.Narv tca-kcttle
In all the house," Yet this was so,
To morrow, fifty years ago.
Now we read of the hcro's career at the
bar, and his devotion to vine and vine cul-
ture, and of his relieving the poor and his
reception of Irish blessings. An Irish wo-
man whose distrcsscs he had relieved with n
quarter said:
God bless yer honor. whin VIC die,
And 80 below, bcsure it's |
From Abrams buZzum, where I'll lie,
Will fitch dhr0p to cool yer thirst;
Let the ould Divil do his worst
Thus far advanced, Mr.. Longworth's life
is thus summed up:
We've seen Lawyer, Soldier, Poet,
Fence Viewer, Father Adam-now,
Behold second Noah appears;
\ Bacchus too of latte years,
With vine-leaf clothes, and that's not all
In his right hand he holds a.
and here is whole page occupied with a
magnificent bottlc-which we presume Is cx-
pcctcd to rhyme with the ".,li'' that ends the
preceding line.
The poem concludes with canto on the
Grand children, a ''congratulatory address,
spoken 10y Mr.. Joseph Anderson on behalf
of all the grand children" and leaf devo-
ted to 'new baby al
Lovely little new born hussy,
Just come in time.
The congratulatory address spoken by
master Anderson on behalf of all the grand
children, concludes thus happily:
give tost-With hearty will
From oldest wine your glasses fill
Then let them ring on every side
Drink to the Bridegroom and the Bride.
May length of days be hers and his,
And every hour as sweet a. this;
And smiling Heaven grant the boon
That their new risen honey
Shed light more true and JOY more sweet
Than when it rose To guide their feet,
Even in that season OF delight
Just fifty years AGO tonight

II il evident from what we see in the Gin
natl papers, that, Notwithstanding the hard
times, money pressure, low price of hogs.
and all that sort of thing, the denizcns of the
Queen City--a part Of them ut lcast--had n
very mcrric Christmas. Ii seems that even
the garrotcrs and pckpockcts had one gen
eral saturnalia, and that Indianaians, as
usual, came in for n respectable share of the
losses.
But We have rlcasantcr things to dwell
upon, and the most stirring one we have
seen Is the amusing account given Of the
" Golden Wedding" of Mr.'and MIrs. Lose

POLYGAMY AND SLAVERY.

The ultra Pro-Slavery people of the
South begin to express their opposi-
ton to the views of the President. in
reference to the people of Utah. They
fear that, if the precedent is established
by armed Government interference
with the people of a Territory, that
ultimately Slavery may suffer there
from. The Utah people are polyga-
mists, and, if the President is going to
make war upon them because they will
not put up with the United States of
ficials, who are opposed to polygamy,
why may he or his successor not do
the same, in case slave-holding poo
pie in Southern Territory should see
fit to drive from their midst Anti-Sla-
very officials :? a correspondent OF
the Richmond .South has long letter
to its editor " this subject. He
says:
1.-The Mormons quit the State and
settled in the wilderness, where it was
thought no one would settle They
called their country Descrct, and in
contempt of their wishes the Govern
ment called it Utah. Brigham Young
was appointed Governor. and ruled
his people in peace. The Government
sent strangers to judge them, and the
people run them off. For what p
For interfering with the Mormon insti-
buttons for trying to persuade the wo-
men that they were degraded, suffering
victims of Mormon tyranny for wri-
ting lying letters and slanderous libcls
on the Mormons and their institutions.
For these they drove them off, and
they did right. Let the
Mormons be crushed for their religion
for this is the real difliculty-and it
may not be long before our negro mas
tiers, our traders in human chattcls,
our dealers in the flesh and blood OF
our brother man, may be crushed out
To vindicatc the gloy of God and exalt
the morality and religion of our mas
tcrs.
MY sympathicS rs state hiShtS
man are with the Mormons. do not
approve of their domestic institutions.
No mattcr--it is their business, not
mine; nor ann | or any other person
answcrable for their sins, or liable to
suffer for their mistakes. Asa South
crn man, my sympathies are with the
Mormons. The same measure that is
dealt out to them for their polygamy
would be dealt out to us for our slave
holding. 10y the same people, if they
had the power; and God only knows
{ If things go on as they are tending
how long that power will be want
ing"
T.. Delegate from Utah will very
likely not stand alone in Congress up
on the Utah difficulty. The Firc-cat-
crs may stand shoulder to shoulder,
like DIR. Ross and Bishop Colcnso, and
support Polygamy and Slavery at the
same Tine National Era.

Secretary Cnss ON Governor Wal.
kcr's Resignation.
WAsuNGToN. Dec.

WAsmNGroN, Dec. %.
Among the documents submitted to-
day. was Secretary Cass's reply to
Gov. Walker, which is dated State
Department, Dec. IL, 1857.
"On Wednesday last received your
communication of the 18th inst, ten
dering your resignation as Governor
of Kansas. This resignation is accom-
panied by n long argument on the af-
fairs of the Territory generally, to
which you are well aware il would he
improper for this Department to reply.
If every officer of the Government
who feels himself constrained to refuse
obedience to the instructions of the
President. shall pursue this unusual
course and isrs place on the files OF
the appropisDg department., criticisms
on the pole. !. the Administration
no person knows better than yourself
To what consequences this might lead.
The Department must either cause
the charges and arguments against the
President To be filed among the public
archives Of the country without contra
diction or reply, or il must spend the
time which ought To be devoted 10 the
public service, in controversies with
subordinate officers who may disap-
prove of the Presidents policy.
Whilst duty therefore forbids us Ia
enter into controversial discussion
with you, upon the various topics EN-.
braccd by your argument, it is proper
that should make a remark upon q
single point.
You state that the President hes
changed his policy in regard to Kan
sas. and why this allegation? Simply
because the Convention of Kansas
have. in exercise OF the rights belong.
ing TO them. decided that they would
not submit the whole Constitution Il
the people. Although they had sub
mittcd the all important and danger
gerous question of slavery. which
threatened To convulse the Union and
was alone prominent in the minds cI
the people throughout every State. he
hal not treated the submission of th,
momentcus question as mere nudity,
Under these circumstances il was his
imperative duty land this was in strict
conformity with those instructions) q
take care that fair elections be held on
this vital question, and thus give pcac,
To the Union.
Had he acted in any other manner
merely because he preferred the sub
mission Of the Constitution originally
TO the people. his responsibility would
have been Of the gravest character.

opinion that the Convention wer'

/ Memorial of the Golden Wedding Of
| Nicholas Ioncworth and Susan Longwortr,
celebrated at Cincinnati on Christmas Eve,
1851"
| II l., in fact, humorous biography Of Mr..

mcnts, cngravings of things actual, and of
sketches fanciiul and funny, altogether H.
Illustrating life as il has been TO and has been
seen by Mr.. LOn-worth and family. The
nica OF the production of this work did not
occur till late, and, in spite of the best efforts
OF large corps of artists, and the utmost
dispatch by steamship and railroad express,
| u had nearly been too late, - it only reached
Mr.. Bongworth's residence per express mes
senger at FIVE o'clock of the evening of the
festival in commemoration of which it was
produced. We are permitted to present our
readers with specimens of this memorial:
A merry Christmas Eve Is come,
| A happy wedding time Is here;
And in the old maternal home
A merry, happy throng appear
| They cluster round the fcstal board
With loving heart, in true accord,
To hold an anniversary
! A veritablc jubilee:
| For fifty wears ago were mated
The twain whence all originated.
In Ammo eighteen hundred seven
| The trOth of each TO each was given:
The parson made them one, / ween
We now may count them seventeen,
Besides some others, grated fruit,
Not springing from the parent root;
Yet still so admirably paired
They couldn't very well be spared.
If ever there was time for Joy
For man and woman, girl and boy
To dance and sing, to shout and laugh,
To toast, TO pledge, the cup to quaff,
Of bright Catawla. sparkles shedding,
lis on this gladstone Golden w edding.
Now we have a scene on the Ohio. A lit
tie girl lifting her hair and looking up the
stream to where mist obscurei her view:
Fresh as the dew,
Wild as fawn,
Gay "a lark,
Mild as the morn,
Sweet as pink,
Pure as a pearl
