The LIMITS OF THE CITY EXTENDED
New ELECTION ORDERED. Not contrary
to our expectations, the Senate. on yes
terday. passed the bill to extend the
limits of this city and to have a new
election. There was some languid oppo-
sition on the part of few. of the radical
Senators. The Democratic Senators
that is, those present-voted, of course,
against the bill. AS we have expressed
our opinion of this business, we have
little to add. The pretence was that
parties living outside of the city limits,
and yet enjoying the advantages, should
be made to bear their proportion of the
taxes of the city. The truth is that the
bill was designed to secure another
election, and thus to oust, if possible,
the present Democratic officers. That
the Senate should have lent itself to this
outrage and wrong-doing. shows how far
below the standard of right and fair-deal-
ing the major part of the body is. This
incident will be borne in mind, and the
sword yesterday welded may yet show
its tWo edges. We have heard of engi-
neers being hoisted by their own petards.
The following are tho Senators who
voted against the measure: Messrs.
Arnim, Bieman, Duncan, Foster, Green,
Hayes, Owens, Reed, Rose and Rogers.

Reply TO Rumble.


FRIEND REGISTER "A few weeks ago
there appeared in your paper, an article
purporting to be from farmers boy of
Massachusetts, who had heard nice things
about the Vermont galS, and he proposed
to come and see them. A large number
Of beauties were assembled, the other
evening, at Esq. Freeport's parlor, and by
chance referred to Mr.. Bumbe,and it was
said, {" some one of us will soon have Al
beau whcrcupon it soon become sub
ject Of general remark. It was proposed
that council be held, then and there, to
fix upon some general plan of reception
to be given to Mr.. Bundle, and to see
what aid could be rendered him. The
eldest lady present, with consent of the
party, took the chair, and the youngest
took the quill. The organization being
completed, many schemes were devised,
and many plans pro- osed for the benefit
Of Bundle.

love matters read, and several papers of
the spectators were read, and others told

ways, as cripples, and paupers, and blind,

Strange speculations of the match it

would consent. Some one told the story

oldest. and was rejected, then the second,

have his choice if he would come into
their midst and select. No man could do
it where all were beauties. Several in.
