With the exception OF very feeble corporaps guard

representative The resolutions passed by reclamation,
and signed unanimously by the party present, denoun-

very refreshing to every true democrat and must be
very convincing proof To the gentleman to whom they
refer that his chance of democratic nomination utter

fired and excellenty aimed, and that it has caused
little dimay and havoc in the ranks of the enemy.

Hart and Mr. Stephen Dillaye the dismissed appraiser
Mr. Hart did not strike Daye until the latter said he
was armed and put his hand into his pocket If to

the surveyor contained in the disgusting episte which
the ex-appaiser addressed to Hon Mr. Cobb, well
calculated to excite Mr.. Harris indignation, and
crediby informed that Mr. Dlaye has considerably az
gravated the original provocation by his subsequent
duct Attacks of the grossest, oulest most false and
dastardly character against the public and private repu
ation of certain prominent politicians in this city, and
of their families, have been recently made and it is
strongly suspected that the ostensibe party making
these attacks is only puppc in the hands of Others who
pull the wires in fancied security. Great allow

assaed if they transgress the bounds of strict propriety
and seek to avenge their wrongs in their way, and

Life which appeared in this city for few weeks,
and died short time since from shortness of funds,
has been arrested and held bail charge of obtain
ing goods under false pretences Failing to procure the
required bail of 81 000 the publisher is held in custody
The prosecutor is who supplied the paper
for tho publication the faith of certain alleged repre-
sensations which, it is pretended have not proved true

person who undertook to point out The Way of Life,
spiritually, was very i'll qualified to do SO.
