 "John Minor Bolts in a speech to the whig central committee of New York last Thursday evening suggested as the most acceptable plan for organizing the 'oppo- sition' that the whig, republican, and American members of the next House of Representatives should unite in call for convention of all opposed to the democracy for the purpose of nominating candidates. What jolly joker this Bolts is getting to be-. Think of those southern Americans , whose principal charge against the democ- racy is that it isn't sufficiently pro-slavery, walking arm in arm with Giddings, Hale and Frederick Douglas to an opposition national convention

TIE PLAY OF THE STRANGER. ."-The sentiment ot mankind upon the subject of a resnion of husbands aud wives, who have once separated, in consequence of matri- monal infdelity, was tested many years agopy Kotzebue, when he wrote his play fof te Stranger. In the original form oi that thrilling drama, the " .Stramger" was coa1d back to his wife's arms by well mealing friend, and the curtain went down upor a once more happy and confding coupe. This denouemem so outraged the poplar ideas of propriety that the play was peremptorily hissed off the stage, and woull have been lost forever to the dramatic reperoire, had not the ready witted author reveEed the moral of his production, and closel the last sad interview between the wretshed pair with the stern sentence from the husbands lips: "We may meet again in Haven"
