Defence OF FoPs.-The New York Tri-
bune speaks the following good word for n
class that finds few defenders:
Whatwe nesd in this country is more and
not fewer gentleman called fops--men who
dress with taste. are scrupulously clean, wear
eye-g asses, if near-sighted, and them
they choose, do not chew tobacco and

tres, rail cars and steamboats,. ga fop''

are accurate, and to be relied on; if artists
O. literary men, eminent, for their taste.
/ No man who ever lived was i greater fop
than Warrington. He ordered his clothes

dressed with extreme care. He was exact
and elegant with his horses, garages, and
all cognatc details. He was therefore, pro- ,
portionately accurate in othet things. Had

our certain knowledge. We wish this coun-

HARMONY.

Our neighbOrs are in trouble. These Democrats
sre determined that, however much they differ about
n.sasurs they will not divide except upon principle
These neighbOrs Of ours are greatly troubled at this
If they are 50 very anxious for family fuss sup
pose they get up one themselves. Let the Banner
again discuss the PrOpriety Of ignoring" the
slavery question as party issue, and let the Patriot
take issue with It, Or let the Patriot show that Gen
ZoLuCoFFEE is right advancing the admission Of
Kansas and the Banner show that Mr. BELL is right
in opposing it. 1t seems to us that a very pretty
quarrel might be got up about these matters. II
motif our neighbOrs can live peac eably together,
while disagreeing such question Of vital prin-
ciple, surely they ought not to feel surprised, If
Democrats agree to differ on a mere local question.
We know how they hoped for some division which
should give Know Nothingism hope for hereafter.
We can understand their disappointment and pity
their grief But the public good requires that they
shall continue to suffer ia minority, and to ensure
this, we Democrats have agreed to disagree on mat
tiers, which ara only Of expediency.

THE KANSAS BILL m THE SENATE

Our tslegraphio dispatches yesterday morning
announced the passage Of the Kansas bill in the
Senate by msjOrity Of eight. Had the Senate been
full, the majority would have been ten; Msssrs.
BATEs, Of Delaware, and DAVIS, Of Mississippi,
friends Ofths bin, having been absent. Mr. REID,
Of North Carolina, had paired of with Mr. CAMERON
Of Pennsylvania. The only Southern Senators who
voted against the bill were Messrs BELL, of Tonnes
See and CRITTEEDEE, Of Kentucky Mr.. BELL has VIC
lated his instructions andfasifed his pledges in thus
bidding for black republican sympathy and support
So far is be from representing Tennessee in this
vote, that he does not represent in it one-haf Of
the knoW-nOthng party Of the State. Old in polid-
cal intrigue, he is, we hoped, to the last that
Mr.. BELL would spare himself this GROWING oct to
his political SINS Standing on the verge Of the
period allotted to to live, feeling the last sands
Of his political life crumbling beneath his feet,
hoped for one act Of devotion to the people who
have so long trusted him Visions Of honors from
ether quarters, however, fit before him; and we
are left only to remember that there is day Of
judgment for political ss well as other sinners.

Ia" The times swarm with porteuts. The other
day, in Jersey, while AWFUL GARDINER was under
conviction, his old acquaintance, the Devil appear
ed to him. assured him that he was his best friend
and eudesvored to dissuade him from his pious pur-
poses What further the old Serpent said to him,
Awful does nos inform US but no doubt the rest Of
the dialogue must have been equally interesting and
vsracious. Some might ask how be knew Old Nicks
internal majesty We shall ask no such question.
His majesty bears about him marks that are not to
be mistaken. Besides, Awful and he had long been
on the most intimate terms.
On the other hand, far stranger event has occur
red in Ohio. Last week, an angel came down there,
and showed itself to a little girl They had q long
conversation, probably in High Dutch. For if the
angels speak Dutch at al, Of course it is High
Dutch. Now we can comprehend how the Devil
should come to New Jersey; it being notorious that
he has good deal Of business there: but what can
have brought an angle to Ohio It is the very last
place where we should expect to meet one. How
ever there was preceding knowledge Of the State
among the Seraphs So that this one had very lit
tie idea where he was lighting. OF course, he pre-
sendy few back to Heaven, carrying with him such
information that they will never see an angel there
again.
