occurred:
Mr.. Douglas was speaking of his own

speak of Old Abe. He is as easy a
man to whip as you might ever wish to

SINGULAR CASE IN FRENCH COURT.
"A most extraordinary case is now try
ing before one Of the French Courts.
A certain u. C. died, leaving an express
order 10 his heirs that he should be burr
ed in church, and handsome sum paid
to the priests on condition that g nobody
should laugh while the service was going
on" The intelligent defunct had observ-
ed that undertakers and priests permit
themselves very often to take hilarious
liberties with death, and he was deter
mined that he should be buried with the
gravity appropriate to the grave. Of
course the odd request got noised abroad; ;
all the village came to the funeral; and
everybody keeping an eye on everybody
else to see that nobody should so much
as wink, the natural result followed. A
fat priest who stood near the coffin was
the first to break down; the choir boys,
in the frailty Of their youth, followed the
fat priest; the minor cannons trying to
stop the choir boys, or at least make
them laugh out of the wrong side of
their mouths" caught the contagion, and
began to shake their sides; the deacons
went off next into full guffaw; and
finally the cure himself was conquered
and choked in bis handkerchief. / n
short merrier interment was never wit
messed. 1t was the joke of the season.
but the heirs, not liking the sport, have
refused to pay the clergy for their rolick-
ing services, and the matter is now in
Court, where it will doubtless cease to be
a laughing matter to anybody but the
lawyers.

The Coalition business seems to be
IN bad way. 1t is all right and patri-
otto it seems to propose coalitions, by
which the votes Of Americans and Wings
shall be thrown for the benefit of Dem
ocrats, but It is horrid aboIitionism' for
any men in the Northern States to ask
them TO be thrown in aid Of the great
principles advocated by Henry Clay.
We have labored from the beginning in
the cause Of united Opposition. We
wanted to see, and we still desire TO see
all men who are opposed to Democracy.
Wings, Americans, Independents and
Republicans, where there are any, united
in the support of one ticket-on national
ground in favor Of national men against
the local, sectional men and measures
Of Democracy. Therefore it was, and
IS, that we opposed the formation Of two
Opposition tickets in Maryland. We
can beat the democracy notwithstandine.

that this colored gentleman, Lewis H. Put

LETTER FROM PATERSON.
PATERSON, N. ]. Feb. 20, 1860.


Mr.. EDIToR:-On Monday evening, Jan.
30, tie Rev. Manning, of the A. M. E.
Church, had tea party for his own bene-
fit, some outside assistance being necessary
for his support The affair was held in
Odd Fellows Hall, and the profits amount
ed to $3S.
On the 9TH, Sth, and 9th of February,
in the afternoons and evenings, a fair was
held for the benefit of the above church, in
Goodwin street The tables were well fill
ed with various articles, which gave evil
dence of considerable industry and artistic
skill in their preparation. The ladies, es-
pecially, deserve the need of praise, as
they were interchangeable in their exertions,
sparing no pains to render the affair alike
pleasant and profitable. The receipts
amounted to over $40.
Colored Patersonians, am glad to say,
also pay some attention to the things OF
this world, and the names of few may be
mentioned, who, by industry and economy,
have accumulated considerable property.
Among these are the brothers John and
Benjamin Thompson, city porters. These
gentlemen keep three horses and wagons
going at the present time, and are doing a
study, thriving business. The former is
the owner of a couple Of houses, &c, Stu
ated in good location-the father of the
above also owns very pleasant home.
Nor must / omit to mention Mr. VIM. Tan
ner, charcoal merchant Like the Thomp-
sons, he is his own landlord, and carries on
quite a prosperous business. Although
Paterson is noted as manufacturing city
colored people are generally excluded from
the various mills, silk, cotton, &c. In
Booth & Hamill's silk mill, however, they
have a colored engineer, Mr.. James Ack-
erman. The engineer, Mr.. VIM. Van
Rensselaer,, employed in the Excelsior
Steam Spice Mills, is also colored man
So is Mr.. Charles Moore, who superintend;
the roasting of coffees, &C., in that estab
lishment. For obvious reasons, however
the greater part of our people are employ
ed as common laborers. A.P.s.
