THE MEETING ON SATURDAY EvBNINe-Dis
graceful Conduct Of the Friends of Dertcr f. Par
ker.-I attended the meeting on Saturday eve
ming, although my name not appended to the
call, supposing l had right to meet with my
fellow citizens who were opposed to the election
of Dexter F. Parker to the State Senate, to con-
suit together as to what course to adopt IN the
coming election, but we found, TO our sorrow,
that that right, supposed to be guaranteed by the
Constitution, we in Worcester are not allowed to
exercise, only at the will of a mob
How long are the respectable, thinking and
conservative men Of the Republican party 10 per
init themselves to be governed and controlled, IN
their political action, by such material as were
present at that meeting for the avowed purpose
Of disturbing its proceedings; by men who use
the machinery Of the party caucus for their own
or their friends political advancement, regardless
OF qualifications of the candidates, the best inter-
ests Of the party, or the State,
We hope that the people OF this Senatorial Dis
trlct will put seal of condemnation upon such
proceedings by refusing to support candidates
thus brought forward and supported.
The Hon. Eli Thayer addressed crowded and
enthusiastic meeting at Holden, on Saturday
evening last. The spacious Town Hall was filed
to overlooking with an intelligent audience of
both sexes, who listened with great attention to
the able and eloquent remarks of the speaker.
l. E. Hall, Esq, presided, and introduced Mr..
Thayer in few felicitous remarks.
At the close of Mr.. Thayer's speech, W. w.
Rice, Esq, of this city, was called upon, but ex
cused himself from making speech on account
of the lateness of the hour.

waist Of females as they walk over
the dirty flags Of this city, sweeping
up everything in the shape OF filth 1t

outrageous sins against good taste

illness, we have in measure got used
to, as the prisoner did to his procrus-
team bed, bat now we have another
innovation to record; we are to be
made stark mad by the innovation ct

the scarlet pettlcoat idea from the

An Arkansas Fathers Advice tt
His Son.

Bob, you are about leaving home
for strange parts. You're going to
throw me out Of the game, and go it
alone. The odds is against you, bat
remember always that industry and
perseverance are the winning cards;
they are the "bowers." Book larning
and all that sort of thing will do to
fill up with, like small trumps, but you
must have the bower to back 'em,
else they amt worth shucks. If luck
runs agn you pretty strong, don't
cave in and look like sick chicken
on a rainy day, but hold your head
up, and make believe you are flush
OF lrumps, They won't play so hard
agin YOU. Pve lived and travelled a
round some, Bob, and I've found out
as soon as folks thought you held
weak hand, they'd all buck agin you
strong. So, when you're sorter weak,
keep on bold front, but play eau
tious. Be satisfied with pint. Ma
ny's the hand I've seen cuchred cause
they played for too much. Keep
your eyes well skinned, Bob; don't let
EN- mig" you. RecoIlect the game
lays as much with the head as with
The hands.
BE temperate; never get drunk, for
then no matter how good your hand
you won't know how to play it; both
bowers aud the ace won't save You,
for there's sariin to be miss deal"
or something wrong, And another
thing, Bob, (this WAS spoken in low
tone) don't 60 too much on the wo-
men, queens is kinder poor cards, the
more you have of EN-, the worse for
YOU; ,on might have three, and nary
trump. dou't say discard EN- all,
YOU get hold OF one that's trump;
it all good. and there's sartin to be
one out oflour. And above all, Bob,
he honest; never take mans trick
wot don't belong to you, nor "slip"
cards, no mig" for then you cant
look your man in the face, and when
that's the case ther''s no fun in the
game, it's regular cutthroat." So now
Bob, farewell; remember wot | tell
you, and you'll be sure TO win, and if
you don't, serves you right ifyeu get
"skunked."

From the Richmond Dispatch.
The Free Fight.

The recent fight IN Congress re-
fleets great credit on all the parties
concerned, and on American civillza-
ton. 1t will do more to build up re-
publican institutions throug hout the
world and depress the spirits of the
kings and potentates of Europe than
anything which has occurred since the
Declaration of Independence. We
are prepared to hear by the next
steamer after the arrival of this news
in Europe that Louis Napoleon has
ablicated, and Queen Victoria gone
into retirement. Everything about this
fight, so far as we can gather from the
general account, is agreeable and re-
freshing. If only one or two had been
engaged, as on former occasions, Its
influence would have been limited,
but it seems to have been very ex-
tensive scrimmage, A Gree fight
it is called and will 60 forth to the
world with a peculiar eclat derived
from its title, and while its title will
in turn reflect upon free Institutions.
1t is its crowning glory that it was
4 tree-fght, and in that circumstance
we find cause of exultatlon over the
benighted and barbarian monarchlsts
Of Europe. 1t may not be credited in
this country, but we doubt whether
there is an absolute or limited monar-
chy in Europe, in which the functional
ries Of State would be permitted the
enjoyment of such a luxury as that
which has just been revelled in by the
independent and enlightened repre-
scntatives of the American people
Fancy the Earl Of Aberdeen, Baron
Macaulay, and old Brougham pitch
ing into each other in the House OF
Lords, or Palmerston, Russell, Glad
stone & Co, having hand to hand
battle under the nose of the Speaker
in the House of Commons. We don't
believe that anything of the KIND
would be permitted even to the aris-
tocracy. The peculiar and straight
laced notions of England conline fisti-
cuffs to the ring or the pot houses, and
swords and pistols to the battle fields
of The empire, The consequence is
that the put-up pluck of John Bull ac-
luires great force and intensity, and
is constantly hurrying him into for
eign wars and fiIibustering. We, on
the contrary, relieve our pugnacious
p~opensities by pugilstic encounters
among each other. and thus, at the tri-
Hug cost of few broken American
noses and black eyes, tame down our
Snperabundant V alor, and treat the rest
of the world with more kindness and
forbearance than We show our own
brethren.

Popping the Question.

. The following Il the confession OF
an old bachelor, who describes him
sell a being now so dried up that he
is little better than mummy, and ex-
poets, some of these days, to blow a
way into dust. lie advises all men
to get married, and tells them how to
manage the couriing. The old fellow
speaks like one who knows, though
he has touch ofthe crab apple. Per
haps he got Tilted hen young, though
he pfer,nds to have been SO "qa taH."
Read what he says:
The fact is-between ourselves-
these thlLgs come astoniShingly natu-
raj after all, quite a. ifone was brought
up to tn IN from child. Don't trou-
bic yourselves about how YOU look, or
what you shall say, the best thing you
can do Is not to think of the matter at
all, but make plunge at once, and
then the business is soon over.
There are thousand ways to pop
The question, as there are II Thousand
ways to make love. Some do it with
easy impudence; some choke for words
and stick fast; some deliver a set
speech and look for clean spot on
the door To go down on their knees;
and some glide into it tgradua!ly, like a
hawk, narrowing his gyrations before
he otoops-the poor girl sitting beside
him all the time, her heart nuttering
in her bodice like a frightened bird.
He heard of one or two poor sinners
who popped the question in the street.
There's only one way more certain
to insure refusal, and that is to pro-
pose in a letter. A woman, let her
love you rs She will, is alway. fright
enrd when she comes seriousl Y to
think of leaving her parents to trust
her all with comparative stranger,
and If you give her time to look at
these matters coolly, ten to one she'll
give YOU n denial am an old man,
and have seen the world, and let me
tell you the girl who yields in tears,
on a moonlight evening, would write
II civil refusal or an equivocal answer
The morning after breakfast. Aud
then what fool a lover makes Of
himself on paper! Tread some letters
the other day-the Gods forgive my
sins for writing such!
It. a mistake, sir, in these matters,

,b.y AK ia il, be left alone and if
there are any meddling youngsters
about, have them pat to bed, or
drowned, it don't matter which, so
they are out Of the way. Only give
lovers fair play kick your match-ma-
king aunts to the duece, and-my life
on itl--the most demure will find a
way of being understood, even, like
old Sir l~aac Newton, they have to
make love with their feet 1t may
come rather odd at first, but they will
sit looking into each others eyes, un
til, by and by, their hands will some
how steal into each others; and so,
getting cosler and cosier the question

out, like cork from a champagne
bottle. 1t will pop ITSELF

The Conversion Of General Jack
son.

DR.. Samuel A. Cartwright, of New
Orleans, in q letter on slavery writ
ten to The Rev. Peter Cartwright, Of
Illinois, has the following reference to
the conversion of President Jackson:
The whole subject could be settled
in trice-the schisms in the churches
healed and our political union ce-
mented, if dealt with as you dealt
with Gen. Jackson, boldly faced, up
on the public as you forced the aw-
ful tenets of the church upon his at
tention; instead of mincing matters
or smothering your Methodist doc
trine (when kindly pulled by the coat
in pulpit by brother clergyman, and
and admonisqed in whisper of the
presence of that removed personage,) }
YOU cried out aloud his name-1he
hero stood up before you, and you
thundered in his face the awful words
that God would damn his soul if he
did NOT get converted" Many of the
audience, knowing his impetuous
temper, trembled for you, and one of
the preachers, after church was over,
called on him to apologize, especially
for some additional remarks you made
that God would make as quick work
damning him as he would Guinea
negro. Jackson waved the apologi-
zer from his presence. The arrow
had taken e0ect--you had come
squarely up to his standard of what a
minister Of the gospel ought to be,
viz: to love everybody and to fear no
mortal man. He naturally conclud-
ed thai love for him and every soul
around was the moving spring of
what might be regarded as intem-
perate zeal, and he opened his heart
to receive the word as you preached
it. When he afterwards met with
you he shook you cordially by the
haad, and remarked that he only
wanted q few thousand such indepen
dent fearless men to officer an army
70 take Old England There is rea-
son to believe that as England and
the war disappeared in the distance,
heaven opened to his view, and the
word YOU had so fearlessly preached
prompted him to win the eternal bliss
he now enjoys. Andrew Jackson
has gone to heaven, and left the work
ofOld England to Young America,
and Young America can do it in a
short time by the force of example,
without striking a blow, if we only
had a few thousand fearless, indepen-
dent preachers to proclaim the truths
revealed in the Bible in regard to ne
groes.
