Commodore Stockton's big gun, there has
been no peacemaker like Mr.. Barksdales

the House of Representatives was quelled
entirely and insantaneously by the revela-

the fray. Samson's strength lay in his hair !;
Mr.. Barksdale's lies in his want of hair.

moments exposure Of its shining surface, lust

Grow. What the geese did for one of the
oldest republics, Mr.. Bark sdale's wig did for
one of the youngest. Who shall tell how
many heads would have been broken, ewes
blackened and coats rent, or how soon the
Union would have been DESTROYED, but for
the ludicrous diversion OF the combatants'
attention to "the place where the wool ought
to grow" on the Hon. Mr.. Barksdale's head |!
John GIlpin's wig had some reputation in
its day, but it will henceforth bear no more
comparison to Barksdale's, than a bachelors

patriotic pilgrims from every part of the world

NEw YORK ON LBcoMrToN George Bancroft,
William F. Havemeyer, and other leading Demo-
Gratis, have Joined in a call for public meeting
at the Academy of Music, this evening. in New
York city, to protest against the acceptance of
the Lecompton constitution by Congress Bx-
Governor Walker and Ex-Secretary Stanton are
to be the principal speakers. On the other hand,
mass meeting is to be held at Tammany Hall,
by the Buchanan Democrats, to sustain the Pres
ident in his Kanzas measures. 1t is remarked
with great significance that while Haskins the
hard shell representative from New York, went
over to the Republican side in the House and
Clark, another hard shell representative lodged
the vote altogether, Cochran Maclay, Kelley, and
Sckles, old Free Sellers, voted with the Lecomp-
ton men. The political affairs of New York are
growing more and more complicated, and there
will soon not be "regulars" enough to excom,
muuicate the boilers.
