/ boasted at the dinner table ut the Voorhies
House on the l4th inst, that abe had spent
ono hundred thousand dollars to build up
the Democratic party, and that he would

sfA, The terms on which the eleven En-
| glish crickciers visit this country are: the
payment of all their expenses from starting
to returning, and Coco besides. These no.
ted cricketers are literally supported by
members of Parliament and other gentle
men. The N. Y. Tribune calls the expected
professional players "The eleven Apostles"
on PROSECUTING mission of the utmost i'm
portance, perhaps not tho't of by them. 1t
cordially recommends the game as more
material to our national necessities than the

BA, Among humorous and eccentric
preachers Father Andre holds distinguished
rank. Preaching in monastery, which
had recently been struck by lightning, Faith
er Andre expatiated upon the goodness of
God, who took, as he would show, special
care of his children. For" said he,
"among other evidences, consider what has
happened to this holy house, in which am
preaching. The lightning struck the libra
ry and consumed it, but injured not single
monk. If, however, it had, unfortunately,
fallen upon the dining-room or buttery, how
many brethren would have been killed
how many tears shed-what desolation
would have ensuedl"
n6yn The Sunny South says if the Mis-
sissippi delegates to the Charleston Conven-
ton faithfully represent tho sentiment OF
the party, the recognition C protection to
slave property in the Territories will be
made a sine qua non of fraternal action. An
acceptance of the Cincinnati Platform, I'M
explained, would amount to a recognition OF
the doctrine advanced by Douglass doc
. trine violative Of the obvious intent of the
Constitution and contradictive of the equal
ity of the States in the Union. We are not
surprised, therefore, that loyal State rights
, advocates are averse to Cancellation upon
other than basis recognizing the "powsr
coupled with the duty" in Congress of pro-
tecting slave property in the Territories.
