A Delightful C0urtship and q Happy
Marriage.

From the Daily Pioneer, 1st inst
We are gratifed to announce that the
nuptial negotiations, which have long been
pending, between Mr.. FREDERICK DR1sco11,
and Miss JOSEPHINE AMARILLO WHEEIooK,
were consummated yesterday in holy we'd
lock-the Rev. P. PLUMBER officiating.
We regret to state that our limited &C.
quaintance with the high contracting par
ties, renders it impossible to furnish of our
own knowledge, fair analysis of their
characters, qualities, positions, and pros
poets in life That, however, which we
would have been incompetent to perform,
they have obligngly done for US. For,
like true lovers, they have thought of each
other, only and continually; and whether
it was FREDERICK who breathed soft speech
es into the ear of his JOSEPHINE AMARILLA,
or JOSEPHINE AMARILLO who languishingly
poured forth her passion on the bosom of
her FREDDY, DEAR" the burden was all
the same,-realizing in its sweet trustful-
ness, the poets contiding strain
Oh, care not for another
You are all the world to me
According to the customs of polite So
ciety, the world over, FREDERICK, being Of
the masculine gender, made the first adj
vances towards his gentle bride Wehave
not at hand the entire correspondence
which passed between the pair during their
courtship. Our collection runs back no
further than a month; but during that
time his compliments have been so tender
and persuasive that We wonder only that
she could have so long resisted.
On the 30th January, FREDERICK writes
to his JOSEPHINE AMARILLA, that
In order TO correct any misapprehension
which may have possibly been created in the
minds OF some, by the statement in yesterdays
Press charging partnership between the editor
of the Union and Mr.. GOODRICH or the Pio0-
eer, we wish simply to state that the writer of
the article containing the said statement delJ.
erdtety peneed scicked and ns0licious ttusehood
We say this not in anticipation that such a
orctlton lie would obtain credence among any
considerable number Of the readers of the Press
but to meet now, this false charge which was
so often repeated in private during the canvass
for State Printer, and stamp it as it deserves.
On February LIST, FREDERICK, pursuing
his suit, said of JosEpHISE:
Nor is it desirable for us however bitterly
assailed personally by the Press editor to retort
upon him. Our utmost ingenuity could not
devise anything to say Of him which could
place. him i'll so Instantaneous q light before
the public, As do his own insane rawlings.
On the 9th, light begins to dawn on
FREDERICK. The Legislature steps in to
his aid. his JOSEPHINE subsists on the
Commissionership Of Statistics if she can
be deprived of this, she will be less indie
pendent, and may, by pressure of her needs
and his persuasions, be induced to share
his bed and board. So he writes:
\ Coon DEED-The Senate Yesterday pass
ed Il bill to abolish the Office of Commissioner
OF Statistics.
The vote was rather significant, there being
16 IN favor and only voting against the pass
age OF the bill. To make the affair complete
we learn the single vote cast against the bin.
was done SIMPLY by the way OF a joke. Sic
transit. &c,
Skipping over few days, we find that
the intervening time has not cooled the
ardor of FREDEEICK's passion. His JOSE
PHINE AMARILLA grows upon him, as
beau ideal of virtue and loneliness. For,
on the 18th of February, he writes:
M.>LrGsIrY.-The readers of the Press were
RECALLED yesterday with spicy article entitled
"A Pleasant .StnecuI'e uu! q Vera PrettY .Strtn-
de-" 1t was spicy because it was personal.
CONSISTING OF gross attack upon Hon. 4. j.
Van Worries, Clerk of the Supreme Court.
We are credibly informed by those who
ought to know. that the IVkeei0ckiUis state
mentS made by the editor Of the Press are titlSe.
With this denial we leave the Press to the ten
der Dercles OF Van, who we doubt not will
render ample justice to the late official organ.
The mahgnity of this attack is only equaled
BY the stamelcssness evinced heretofore by the
editor OF the Press as noticed in the Unioa Of
the 18th.
The Fress editor, after the State Printing
question was decided stated in no private man
2cr that he was now freed from all obligations
to be silent as to individuals in the party. His
course since that time amply demonstrates the
strength OF his conviction on that point. while
it no less evidences his utter unfitness for the
position be now holds.
We learn too that the present prOprietOrs Of
the Press expect to win back the lost confidence
OF the party in their establishment. The present
management of that defamatOry sheet, with SO
talr a prospect OF its continuance as vehicle OF
personal abuse and Misrepresentation. indicates
that it VIII re-pOsSess the confidence and sup
port OF the party about the time that the Prince
OF Wales VIII be Governor OF Minnesota and
not day sooner
And as an evidence Of the rapid growth
of the tender passion, even when it has
nearly reached maturity, we see, in the
following, of the 10Th, how love can inten-
sify in two short days:
A PLAIN SrATENENT.-We were amused yes
terday to notice the Press editor rhine, because
his foul and malignant attacks upon ndtcidudRs
had been properly repealed. He has hitherto
probably seen something of the world, but we
doubt if he has had, ever before. so much val
liable experience as has fallen to his lot during
thespast few weeks. His editorial course we
have repeatedly condemned, and the legislative
members of the party to which he processes to
belong, have thrice placed the seal of cOndem-
nation upon him. Yet he will not profit by sad
experience, but continues to provoke irritatiOns
and quarrels, to revive dead issues and to divide
and distract the party.
Ills fling at the Union yesterday 10y calling it
Nr Aldrchs paper" was in perfect keeping
ana character with his course both before and
