MARoH Il, 1857.

At stated meeting of Friendship lodge, No.
%, l. o. o. f., held on Saturday evening,
March Z, 1857, the painful intelligence of the
death of John Bunting, of California, native
of this State, and member of our lodge, was
announced, when II was on motion,
Resotped, That committee of three be ap-
pointed to draft resolutions expressive of the
sense of this lodge on his death.
The following were presented, and on mo-
ton, were unanimously adopted
Whereas, II has pleased the Supreme Being,
the Maker and Preserver of the universe, to
remove from the busy scenes Of this world,
our esteemed member, John Bunting, while far
from home, kindred, and friends, IN the prime
of life, when every thing around him seemed
to say" Death, stay thy hand % but while in
good health, without warning, he was summon
ed away. He has gone; he is numbered with
those who have been, but now are not. Another
void is made, and an aged father has been de-
prived of an atfectionate son, and his brother
and sisters OF kind brother Oh what warn
ingl We feel the loss, but while we feel it,
may we take the admonition SO forcibly given,
and endeavor to improve the lesson it affords
of the uncertainty Of life and certainty Of death,
for surely in the midst Of life we are in DEATH
Notwithstanding this affecting dispensltion,
we bow in humble submission to His will. He
orders all things for the BEST and has said
All things shall worke together for good
to them that love Him. All the consolation
we can offer will not fill the void or restore him
to their home. Therefore, be it
Rssvlvsd, That this lodge do tender their
heartfelt sympathies and coincidence to the
father, brother, and sisters of our deceased
brother, his relations and friends, and while we
sympathise, may they enjoy that comfort which
is promised in this their hour of affection.
Resolped, That this lodge, by the death of
brother Bunting, has been deprived of one OF
its cherished members, who was endeared to
us by all those ties which friendship, love, and
truth can inspire.
Resolved, That copy of tho above preamble
and resolutions BIO sent to the family of the
deceased, and that they be published in the
Republican and Gasette, of Wilmington, Del.

VILE KANSAS BE A SLAVE STATE l-lYhGt
the Pro-Sllpsry Men Tank about 1.-THE St.
Joseph (Mo.) correspondent VI the Missouri
Republican, zone of the most decided pro-
slavery journals TO be found auywhere,) writ
ing from st. Joseph, under date Of March 18th
says;
''The emigration to Kansas reminds me of
that to California in the days Of its greatest al
lurements. Trains upon trains are pouring in
from every quarter, but parti cularly from the
Free States. | had once thought, as l used to
write you, that Kansas would be Slave State,
but am now forced to alter my opinion from
the overwhelming evidences to the contrary
that force themselves upon me every day.
"Our ferry boats are busily engaged from
day light until dark in carrying oyertrains, and
the proportion of Free Soil to the Pro-Slavery
emigrants is as fifteen to one. This is not con-
fined alone to our point of crossing, but it is
SO at every other that can hear from, and it
satisfies me that the political destiny of Kansas
is fixed beyond all question.
"Wars and rumors Of wars she will know no
mere, but peace will brood over her beautiful
prliries and prosperity will reign throughout
her borders. l am a pro-slavery man, and
would prefer to see my favOrite institution es-
tablished there but am, nevertheless, con.
yinced that the energetic, enterprzng Yankee
will develop the resources and build up the
country sooner than we could do, and that by
living in harmony with them as our neighbors
they will do us no injury in our peculiar pro
perty."

are apparently anxious to do right in oil their
private transactions, still adhere to their party
The iascinationis SO complete, their worship so
devout, that they either excuse and palliate the
great wrong and wickedness of the party, or
fail to see it, We question, however, if they
are not willfully blinded by the glitter Of gold,
and their principles Of morality held subservi-
ent to the lust of power and station. One may
have the post Office in his eye, another the
marshalship, collectorship, inspectorship,
mail agency, or some other appointment of
emolument; and hence party feelings sway
their actions, bias their judgement, and they
bow low at the shrine which dcmagogues have
setup, 1t ia on account of such conduct that
christianity exerts so little influence in poll.

support their party as long as it adhered to the

higher standard of action would be induced
and we should never witness such base pander
ing to the worst appetites and passions of mani,
nature, as was exhibited by the Democracy in
the recent canvas in this State. If politicians
are not christians, they should at least be forced
to respect moral precepts, observe the deca-
logue, and to legislate in such manner as to
promote morality and right doing. The State
should never be made party to any thing
which is not sanctioned by christianity; no

ANoTHER SINGULAR MARRIAoE.-The Albany
Journal records the marriage of man named
Traux and Mrs. Martinue, of that city, and
adds;
The bride is gay widow of 25 summers,
and the bridegroom a widower OF sxty-six win
teri, with family of eleven children, while the
bride has only one child, son about s years
old. The marriage ceremony was performed
at the residence Of the bride, in Chestnut ST.,
in tn epresence ola large party, who subse-
quently met at the house of ]. POLAND, in
Washington street, where a handsome set
down had been prepared for them, to which
juste, was done. Wine flowed freely until
near midnight, when the party dispersed, leav-
ing the bridegroom to settle the bill with the
landlord.
The newly married couple met for the first
time on Saturday last, when the old man be-
came fascinated with the young widow, and he,
through the instigation Of certain parties, Of
cred her marriage. A negotiation ensu ed, and
she knowing that the old man was possessed
OF considerable amount of property, demand
ed from him the sum ofS50 per anuum, payable
on the first of May, for the education Of her
son, and further sum of 81 900 to herself
This hehnally assented to, when member of
the bar was called In, who drew up the re-
CURED papers which after being duly executed,
the knot was tied.
~, a snvSAinS ihuruer was perpeTateu IN the
Philadelphia county prison, on Thursday night,
by German named Geo. Aubn. He had been
committed for beating his wife, and was con-
fined in the same cell with an Irishman named
John Cleary, also there for beating his wife.
1t seems that Aubin, being very incorporate
man. was afflicted with delirium trsmens in the
cell, on account of being deprived of his liquor,
In this condition he murdered Cleary, under
the insane idea that the latter had got into his
house to rob him.

FOREIGN NEws.-We have one week later
news from Europe, by the arrival at Halifax OF
the steamship Europa, from Liverpool, with
dates to the 18th instant. Spain continued her
preparations for the invasion of Mexico, aud
was endeuyOring to secure the influence Of
France and England in keeping the United
States in neutral attitude. Great Britain is
excited by electioneering movements. The
suppUsttiou is that Lord Palmerston will carry
u majority, but small one. The treaty with
Persia Obliges the latter TO evacuate Herat
within three months, and upon the fulflment
of that condition, Great Britain would with
draw her troops from Persia. 1t is stated that
the war programme of Spain is to appoint Cen
eral COncha to command the expedition
against Mexico, and to lend Santa Anna aid 10
capture Vera Cruz. The Mexican envoy has
arrived at Southampton on his way to Madrid
to arrange the international trouble. The Neuf-
chatel conference at Paris progresses slowly.
The Prussan Minister waits Tor instructions.
Prince Edward Of SAKE Weimar il favored by
England as a candidate for the throne o.
the DanuDian Principalities. The Circassians
have again beaten the Russians and driven
them across the river Laba with loss of 400
men, pieces Of artillery and all their baggage.
The Sovereign had demanded the interpOsition
Of the Sultan.
The same mediator had also been solicited
by the Khan of Bokhara, who is threatened
with Russian invasion. Intelligence from

March 27.-HOn. r. j. Walker, has accepted
tho Kansas governorship, and does so it is uu
derstood, with the intention OF resigning III,
p3st as soon as he succeeds in restoring
tranquility to the territory. To do this, til,
Administration has promised to stand by hin
in every emergency. II is well understood tha
had il promised as much TO ex-GOy, Geary, TIT
latter would willingly have returned but then
il is inslnuated that he should have first con
suited the views of the new Administration be-
fore he left the territory. Had he done 80
there is every reason to believe he would have

tsrtainsd Of Mr.. Walker in the discharge o

SAILING OF HowEs CUsHING's GREAT AME-
RICAN CIRCUS EXHIBITION FOR ENGLAND, GER
MANY, AND SwTrzERLAND.-The packet ship
Southampton, Captain Austin, left this port on
Wednesday forenoon for Liverpool, with Mes
srs. Howes X Cushing's Circus Company. She
was chartered by the Yankee Snowman, and her
freight consists of the most expensive exhibit
ton fixtures that has ever crossed the Atlantic
Ocean from our country.
The company consists of about one hundred
persons. Among the performers are twenty
five Of the best equestrians OF the day, includ-
ing ladies and gentlemen, and a tribe of In
dams from the Cattaraugus Reservation. These
savagGs are to give exhibitions Of the manners
and customs Of their tribe in connection with
the equestrian entertainments.
Messrs. Myers and Pentland, the popular
clowns, are members of the company. Upon
landing at Liverpool, the circus company will
unite in grand procession through the streets,
forming u magnificent pageant, with an Apol-
lonicOn, or organ, built and ornamented in the
highest style OF American art, and drawn by
forty cream colored horses, and twenty-five
other wagons containing the dresses and furni-
ture of the show. There are eighty valuable
horses on the ship, and they are snugly arranged
in stalls between decks.
The total cost of this undertaking is said to
amount to 100000. Messrs. Howes 4 Cush-
ing intend to travel in England, Germany, and
Switzerland, and will probably be absent three
years. The spirit OF Yankee enterprise knows
no bounds.-N. Y. Tribune.

ment of 'House Wanted" in our columns
to-day. BY pursuing the plan of adver-
Using for Houses on the part of Tenants,
and Houses for rent on the part of Land
lords, an immense sight of trouble will be
saved to both parties at very small cost,
1t will be seen that the Day Book is the
best medium for such matters, as it circu-
lates among all classes of onr citizens.

gaining golden opinions among the ladies
of our city. A lady of the highest res
probability called at our Office few days
ago, and spoke in very fattering terms of
our efforts to please, and said she found it
such a convenience to refer to our adver-
Using columns for any little thing she
wanted, and give the servant the money
to get it with. This shows to advertisers,
also, the advantage to them of naming in
their advertisements what articles can be
bought for. as by that means the house
keeper can send the exact change to
cover her purchases, and thereby avoid
the liability of being imposed on by
dishonest servants.
