Df5UN4oN.-William Smith O'Brien, at the
conclusion of his pamphlet against French
invasion of Ireland, says: "Whilst the
foregoing pages were in the hands OF the
printers, we learned that, by the secession
of South Carolina the noblest and most
prosperous confedracy of free men that the
world has yet seen, is about to be dissolved
For what cause? Because the members of
the different sections of this confedracy have
not exhibited towards each other that for
bearance and that respect which were re-
qured to keep in cohesion the elements of
which the United States were composed
shall not inquire whether the North or the
South is most to blame for those discords.
But would entreat my fellow-countrymen
to regard this spectacle as solemn warning.
The last accounts from America lead us to
believe that a civil war of the most fearful
kind is impending-a- civil war which will
affect the happiness and prosperity of at least
thirty millions of the human race. In the
case of an armed conflict between the slave
holding and non slaye-holding States, it
may result in the emancipation of the colored
race-an emancipation which may, perhaps,
be voluntarily conceded by the slavehoding
States. But if civil war should arise
between the Protestants and Catholics of
Ireland, in consequence of the introduction
of a French army into this country by
section of the Catholics, human foresight is
justified in expecting from the conflict on
result except the consignment of one or
other of the contending parties to political
servitude during an indefnate period May
Heaven in its mercy protect both America
and Ireland firm such calamities!'

The Cityof Washington, from all accounts,
is getting to be very corrupt place. A cor
respondent of one of our exchange papers
thus speaks of certain "female-log rollers, >
who are to be found there when Congress is
in session: "Women of attractive exterior
are used at the Federal Capitol as decoys to
procure the votes of members of Congress.
They present themselys, we learn, at private
rooms of the members, regardless of all
modesty, and there are currents rulnors of
female virtue being bartered away by hus-
bands and brothers for the purpose of ex-
tracing gold from the national treasury
through thieving and unjust claims"

A VERY Cool AMERICAN.-A Frenchman
recently eoped from Paris with the pretty
wife of an American, and as soon as the
latter learned what had taken place, he in
stalled himself in the chateau of his rival and
wrote to the latter misSive, as follows
"You have appropriated my wife, and have
taken possession of your estate. By the
time your love is squandered, l will try to
have spent your fortune. | hope you will
have an agreeable time in Switzerland

The Governor supposing, of course, that the

A MIRACLE A Snowman holding forth
to his audience on his collection of curios-
tiles, produced rusty sword, which he as
sured them was the identical sword with
which Balaam was about to kill his ass.
One of his company observed, that he thought
Balaam had no sword, but only wished for
one. "You're right" said the Snowman,
"and this is the very sword he wished for"

In the late election the utmost strength Of
Tammany Hall was brought out in favor Of its
sachems aud beloved leaders, Elijah f. Purdy
and Nelson j. Waterbury, the one running for
Supervisor, and the other for District-AttOrney,
and each of them receiving less than 81, 600
votes. At tho same election Mr.. HOxie, run
ming as the Republican aud Peoples candidate
for County Clerk, had nearly $4,000 votes.
Who, then, can fail TO see that Mr.. Opdyke,
with the same support rs Mr.. Hoxie, is very
much stronger than the Tammauy candidate
If you are really opposed TO Wood, you Will
vote for Opdyke.
