1t is to be regretted that these spirited South
rons should have broken the unity of the Southern
phalaux, in the vote on the Conference Kansas
Bill, especially as it placed them in temporary
companionship with the Black Republicans and
their new ally, the Black Douglas. Surely there
can be neither discretion nor policy in thus decli-
ming fellowship, with an almost unanimous South,
and with all the faithful Democracy Of the North,
against the Black Republican cohort, and their
corporal's guard Of Democratic renegades. We
learn, however, from reliable authority, that the
gallant Bonham was led or misled, in his course,

IMPROVEMENT ON THE VIOLIN

TINTIL within a few years, there has been no
l. change in the VIOLIN. The oldest instru-
ments now in use were made about the year 1850,
at Cremona, in Italy. Musicians have long be-
lisved, that to possess perfection Of tone, aVI0.
LIN must have age but this belief has Of late
been agreeably changed, even in regard to the
Cremona; by using the new patent improvement.
The chief object Of TILTON's PATENT, is to
obtain a tone at once clear and full, mellow and
round, sweet and powerful. These VIOLINS are
