AFFAIRS At BosroN-A" Vigilance Com
mittee" has been formed in Boston to
visit the houses OF Suspected" citizens.
The Post states "that Committee OF
about hundred persons was organized
on Tuesday evening, to wait upon those
who decline to express theirsentiments in
the present state of the country. A num-
ber of politicians who have not yet COM
mitted themselves are on their list, and
will be visited in day or So" Freedom
of speech, and even freedom OF thought,
are, therefore, suppressed in Boston.
The Post also informs us that 1000 Ger
man, Irish, French, Italian and Spanish
troops are about to be sent South from
that city. The same paper says:
Mr.. j. r. Robinson, of Boston, has
placed in the hands of Gov. Boutwell, one
of Colts navy revolvers, silver mounted.
to be forwarded to Sergeant Dexter Saw
tell, who so bravely defended the colors
of the Massachusetts Sixth Regiment at
Baltimore on the 18th of April, 1861.
A largo number of past and present
students of the Divinity School in Cam
bridge, met in Divinity Hall on Tuesday,
and presented a revolver to Rev. &. Fitz-
gerald. graduate of tho school in the
class of 80 Mr.. Fitzgerald, although
born on slave soil, in the City of Wash

rRIoT yesterday an extrscp from apfecehs
speech made by Senator Douusss. Below
we repnblish from the New York World
of the 24th, a. brief sketch Of q speech
made by Hon. DANIEL s. Dickinson,
who has been supposed to be one Of, the
staunchest friends Of the South, North Of
Mason and iDixon's line. He, too. falls
before the storm of republican fanaticism
now sweeping over the 'non.slaveholdine
States. When such men as he declare
that ho would wipe the South from the
face Of the earth" what are we to expect
from the intolerant, fanatic masses who
have for years been warning upon the in
stitution of slavery, and denounoinQ the
Shareholder as o demong Our salvation
is in United South, fighting shoulder 10

flag. Let us have no moro divisions

Tennessee. Let her repudiate its author
ity and unite her destinies with her
Southern sisters:
Hon. DANIEL s. Dickinson made a speech
at the Fifth avenue hotel on Monday
evening, the chief points of which are en-
bodied in the following sketch, although
it does not reproduce the force and efo.
quenee of Mr.. Dickinson's language: He
said that his hearers would bear him Wit
ness that he had long endeavored to
stay the storm that has now arisen, and
to bring about some peaceful settlement
of affairs. But now the South, first by se~
ceding, and second by firing on the old
flag, had closed the door of reconciliation.
Hewas meeting them on their own ground,
He would have no halfway measures, no
compromise. Let us settle this thing
speedily. and surely. II may ruin ills ge,s.

to protect their slaves. That was the offspring
OF State legislation. the child Of State constitu
tonal arrangements, with which the Federal
Government had nothing to do Again, with
regard TO New Mexico he said. let them have
Il. They had Slavery there now. and il was the
only portion of the States where they desired TO
have il. With regard to the idea that the Re
publicans intended to invade the rights Of the
South, he would submit such terms as would
forever put il out Of their power TO do this thing
but with regard to the spread Of slavery into the
Territories, he would ask them what did they
want with expansion They had not slave labor
enough at present TO develop the resources OF
their own States. There were three hundred
millions of acres in Texas on which Gotten could
be cultivated, and he was told that one good
hand was equal to the production of FIVE bales Of
cotton. Calculations would show that instead
of wanting room for expansion, instead of chok-
ing for want of breathing room, they had as much
productive soil within their own States as would
give employment TO forty-fve millions of ne
groes, and their whole negro population was
only four millions. lie would repeat, that the
North had no desire to interfere with slavery
in the States. and any guarantees to further as
sure them Of that fact, they would grant. III,
hoped to see this mighty republic bound togethoI
by closer tics in the future than any thathad yet
bound them in the past.

Rough Beginning o: the Honeymoon.
On last Friday morning. an athletic Young far
mcr in the town OF Waynesburgh, took a fair
girl, "all bathed in bushes" from her parents,
and started for the first town, across the Penn
sylvania line, 10 be married, where the ceremony
could be performed without license. The
happy pair were accompanied by asis-
ter of the girl, tall, gaunt, sharp
featured female of some thrty-s seven summers
The pair crossed the line, weie married, and re.
turned to Welsville to pass the night. People
at the hotel where the wedding party stopped,
observed shat they conducted themselves in n
rather singular manner. The husband would
take his sister in law, the tall female aforesaid,
into one corner Of the parlor and talk earnestly
to her, gesticulating wildly the while. Then the
tall female would put her foot down" and talk
to him in an angry and excited manner. Then
the husband would take his fair young bride into
a corner, but he could no sooner commence talk
ing to her than the gaunt sister would rush in
between them and angriy join in the conversa-
tion. The people at the hotel ascertained what
this meant about O'Clock that evening. There
was an uproar in the room which had been as
signed to the newly married couple. Female
shrieks and masculine .swears' startled the
people at the hotel. and they rushed to the spot.
The gaunt female was passing and kicking
against the door of the room, and the newly
married man, mostly undressed, was barring her
out with all his might. Occasionally she would
kick the door far enough open to disclose the
=. l.
apparel.
IL appeared that the tall female insisted upon
occupying the same room with the newly welded
pair that her sister was farorably disposed to
the arrangement, and that the husband had
agreed to it before the wedding took place, and
was now Indignantly repudiating the contract
"Won'. you 90 away, now, Susan, peaceful"
said the newly married man, softening his voice
"No," said she, 81 wont-so there"
"Don't YOU bulge an inch.' cried the married
sister within the room.
"Now, now, Maria" said the young man to
his wife, in piteous tone, "dont go to cuttin' up
in this way; now don't"
"rll cut up as much as wanter" she sharply
replied.
"W Well," roared the desperate man, throwing the
door wide open ard stalking out among the crowd
''wel;, jis. ycu two wimmen put on your duds
and bring back the old women. and your grand
father, who is nigh on to a hundred; bring em
all here, and III marry the ,ehoie id eaboodle
Of 'em, sad re'H all steep together!'"
The difficulty was finally adjusted by the tall
female taking room alone. Wellsvile is enjoy
ing itself over the sensation.-Clsreland Plain
