I am sick ol '-chaste ribbons/' aud "ravishing lace." I am sick,in an age which produced a Bronte and a Browning, of the prate oi men wbo assert that every woman should be a perfect housekeeper, and fail to add that every man should be a perfect carpenter. I am sick of women sell- styled "literary," who think it a proof of genius to despise everyday household duties. I am sick of schools for tbe manufacture of bent spines. I am sick of parents, the coffins of whose children are already being made, asking the teacher to add another branch to tbe already suicidal pile of les sons. I am sick of overworked, ill-paid operatives. I am sick of seeing tracts distributed where soup and bread should go. I am sick of noodles in high places, and intelligence and refinement sitting in inglorious ease by their owu firesides, I am sick of the encouragement held out to women by the other sex to remain pretty idiots, followed by long moral essays upon the enormities ol being such. I am sick ol flummery of nonsense and humbug wid pretensions of every kind. I am sick of this everlasting scrambling and crowding, and pushing and jostling, on the edge ofthe (ive feet of earth wbich is all auy ol us can have at last, after all our pains.

Loa Angeles, July V, I860. ___________ St. Louis axi> Engitsh Hats.—When the Prince ot Wales was here, it was generally remarked that some of the mure -jrominent members of his suite wore very seedy hats. This was especially true of the Duke of Newcastle, and the inference was drawn that onr British cousins were not very particular about the artistic elegance of tbat part oi thier attire. It appears, however, that all Englismen are not thus indifferent, for we lind that tbe correspondent the The London Times wbo traveled with the Prince, waa especially shoked by the badness of the bats worn in St. Louis. "If it is true/' says tbis writer, "as I certainly believe it, tbat the worst hats iu the world are worn in America, so it is equally beyond a doubt lhat the worst hats in America are worn iu St. Louis." We dotrt know how far ibis may be true as regards the people of St. Louis, but we will stoutly maintain thut there are (ew gentlemen in New York wbo would like to go about in as bad a hat as waa worn bee by bis Grace of Newcastle.— JVeto York Tribune. Glaaa* We took occasion to notice favorably, yesterday, the works of tiie Missouri Glass Company, near Concordia Park, and to advise persons hav 'ut; any curiosity ou tbat subject to go down there and eee tlie dillerent processes ot glass manufacture. Not only is glass blown and moulded there, but it is also ground, cut and engraved. When it leaves lhe blowenr or moulders' bands it is exceedingly brittle, and if suffered to become cold, would not bear the least strain; iu lact. the changes of atmospheric temperature would soon break most of the articles. To prevent this lUcy are put, while hot, into an aunealing oven, or tcer, where they are cooled very slowly, Irom one Lo two days being required to properly anneal lbem. A lamp which would, previous to annealing, break by the falling upon it of a small shot, becomes tough enough, when used as a hammer, to indent an oak plank, aii experiment which we have seen repeatedly tried. What is commonly called ground glass is prepared in two w.iyu. either by grinding tin; surface witli emery powder or spreading upon it a paste composed principally ot powdered while glass, and heating it till this powder melts aud fuses upon the fabric. The former process is tbe one made use of to deaden the surface «f globes, Bhades, Slc. The latter is more convenient when flat sheets are to be prepared. To imitate cutting the paste is rubbed off before heating, and wheu this is done the surface remaius transparent. Glass is cut by grinding out ihe required figures upou One stones or emery wheels, aud then polishing the places thus worked. We saw them at the works the other day making two pair oi large decanters to replace some broken in nn expensive , French dinner set, where about one hall of the weight of each one was cut by the wheel. Though they were massive and elaborate, we did not think them as handsome as some the Company were making, Irom designs of their own. Glass to be cut is often ground first, as iu tbe case cf lamp shades, making the ground opaque aud the figures highly polished ; this is an entirely distinct pro Cess from engraving, where the figure is roughed ou the original smooth surface. This is an art whioh has lately been introduced, but already such improvements have beeu made in the process that it does not add very much io the cost of the original. Tbe former method was to cover the article with a thin coaling ot wax, then etch the design through the wax and bite it iu with fluoric ucid. an expensive aud elaborate operation ; now the design is rapidly engraved upon the glass with copper tools aud emery ; fiat places like the leases of a tlower being engraved with small wheels, aud lines by means of copper points, revolving rapidly, the article being pushed along under them. A skillful workman will ihus orua meut a large lamp shade in a short time, aud if he bas taste will compose his design as the work progresses, without the trouble of any previous drawings- As wc said before, all these things are done in St. Louis, aud if, instead of two glass works here, there were twenty, each one would have more thauitcculd do. We ouly need enough establishments here so tbat any purchaser could find his whole assortment here, aud Pittsburg would no longer supply the valley of the Mississippi- In auy kind of manufacturing, the item of transportation is tbe only one which does not in the least enhance the value of the material. It is so much dead weight with which the goods are to be loaded ; in every article where this can be saved, as iu the case of glass, we shall urge upon our readers the importance of those branches of industry to St. Louis, and we hone our exertions will not be entirely devoid of good results.—Missouri Republican.

' B political oppoaeat- BECOMING Impatient.—Tbe Republicans nre becoming a little uneasy lest enough Southern Senators should not resign to give them control ol that body. Thus far we have ouly Iwo vacancies, Chestuut and Toombs ; four or live more will be ueeded to answer tlie purpose. Do the other Be ceding States intend to disappoint our e::pecta tious in this respect ?—AIo. Democrat. Two Brotueks is and Two Out.—Waabbarne, of Wisconsin, and Washburue. of Main, go out of Cougress at the close ot tbe present term, and two other brothers go in—both, by a strange coincidence, for tbe same State. Frederick A. Cook- ling, just elected to Cougress from the Sixth District of New York, is a brother of Roscoe Cotik- liug, who ia re elected from the Utica district. Tub Capitol.—The capitol at Washington ie being burnished up for the winter session of Con gress, to commence December 3d. In the House the desks have been restored, taking lhe pluce of the lixed benches, and tbe appearance is much better. Now, if members will be decent about the use of them, and not fill up the aisles by attending to frauk their patent oflice reports during the sessions, they will probably be allowed to remain. It was because tbe lioor of the House looked more like the packing room of some publishing establishment than like a legislative body, that the desks were ordered to be removed before. Bwrrrsii Aomiraltt Provision Contracts—A Dublin correspondent of the London Times, referring to lhe Admiralty contracts fur the supply tif beef and pork for the navy, recently decided, says it is understood tbat all tho beet haa been taken on behalf of American houses, but a targe quantity of the pork will be made up in Ireland. The Genesee (N. Y.) Couuty Board of Supervi nor* bave elected Miss Uattie Smitli their clerk. \Ii*s Smith was for several years tbe acting clerk under her father, the late Richard Smiib, Esq., and is perfectly competent to fill the oflice. Election op the Patriakcu of thk Greek Church m CoMSTAKTlNOpLH.—But it became plain that he had uo chance in tbe synod of bishops, if nil the bishops were allowed to vote. So it was proposed in the lower or communal assembly to [■\cliule all thoso bishops against whom charges had beeu preferred by lbeir respective diocesses. lor ecclesiastical and moral dfllmqneucics. 1 will quote how from the Levant lb raid : "A regular Donnybrook tournament now began. A strong minter of bakkuh (strong fisted grocerboys) Iroin all parts of the city bad beeu prepared, and with ... promptness and energy tbat would have d^ue credit to a band of New York rowdies, these gentry commenced an indiscriminate and very efl iot- ive assault on their patrons' opponents. In a few minutes the fight became general-urchdeaeon- attacked bishops. bMiopa arebbishops-and tbe whole, each other and everybody else, wherever ther''was a head to be cracked or a beard to be „u1Kh1. Tliehi.,hop of Deeapulis, especially, narrowly escaped strangulation by the arebdeacou ol -Vdnamiple. who in his turn lost three quailen* ol his beard in the hand-, of a lay.nan, who came to lbe episcopal rescue. At la*t, making himsell heard above this war of blows, shouts and hisses, tho patriarchal vicar, in a stentorian voice, declared Ihe assembly dissolved, in the name ot the Sultan, and rushed frantically from tin Influence of U-niglnt at nn Orator. Missouri is the only Stale wherein Senator Douglas made a speech during the late campaign; tbat presents any hope ot giving bim an electoral vote. Itis a noiiceaiile fact, lhat Douglas did not speak in New Jersey, und that State in lhe only oue in ibe North which votes &gaia&t Lincoln as far as heard bom. The Lincoln journals ol New Jersey jocosely allude to the luct. and regret that he did not favor ihem with a lew leinarks. The Quincy Whig has discovend tbe reason why the Republicans lost Adams county. Illinois. It becomes quite humorous on the subject. Wituees tin* following: "Onr Republican friends felt ralber disappoin: ted on Tuesday nighl, when Ihey lound that they had lost the city by a small vote, and soon alter; the county also by a slighlly inereased Democratic majority. Tbey had all worked hard and faithfully, had watched the polls on Tuesday, and kept out a great many illegal votes, had stirred u(> Ilia lukewurm, had made handsome gains in HOiiiti town-, aud knew the State anil ihe nation wer.e sore, and yet ihe county went against them! ft was provoking, decidedly ; aud why was it, wan the question, "But •Eureka''—tbey have found it! The case is now plain as a pike stalf—nothing can be plainer. It was not thai they did not work faithfully; were not zealous, or Wide Awake; wero not watchful against importations, or neglected to bring out thair own men. It was because Douglas '■passed by on the other side" of this town, and refused to come heie with his "great principle!" That is it aud "nothing Bhoiter." He spoke »t Alton, and straightway Alton wes-redeemed. Ho spoke iu the shadow of Old Abe's home, on pur-' pose tbat Springfield should repudiate the "sectional candidate," and Springfield rel'us d to do any such thing. He spoke nt Chicago, the West- era "hub of tiie Universe.*" and Chicago increased her usual majority, as "easy as rolling off a log." We need not recount what he accomplished in otber State*—how iu Iowa, where the "great principle" elevated him so blxb as almost to disable him from standing ou a dry goods box, and the mnjoriiy was increased from 3,000 lo 10,000— nor in Ohio, where be lectured to the small boyH in his shirt sleeves, lbe Agorae went up (rom 13 000" to -10,000, nor anything about New York, Nev* England, or ihe sunny South. They are all written in the Book of the Chronicles of his pilgrimage, and he who runneth quite fast can read them. We lost Adams coniuv, then, because Stephen did not come here! Thai is it. It was a cruel slight he put upon his Iriends. Tliey wanted bim to come bad enough, aa they, with the Herald man, refused to believe that his missionary labors were all for our good. Willi the result beforo them, thev may forgive li'm now, but ice never can. Ob"! Slepheu! Stephen! son of thy mother—when next thou run nest for President, wo will give all our funds to thee Ibr one "great principle" speech in thy shirt sleeves from some balcony or barrel, iu ibis thy early home—oor own dear Quincy." ■»» ..^»,. .,»»■ - Ri'imblkun Jubilee. Si-ringf-elo, III., Nov. 20.—The jubilee at Lincoln's bouse, in honor nf his elevation, is one o'f the most splendid demonstrations ol the campaign. Large crowds ol strangers arrived on the cars. A large Wide Awake procession, after parading thiough the principal Street*, drew up in front of Mr. Lincoln's re-ideucc, where an immense crowd had already assembled. Loud calls being made- for him, he appeared in the deor, and waa greeted with long continued cheers. When they at last ceased, he spoke as follows : t'lUENos 4.ND Fellow UlTIZBMB : riease excuse me on this occasion from making a speech. I thank yon for the kindness and compliment of Ihis call. I lliauk yon, in common wiih all others who have thought fit. by their votes, to endorse lhe Republican cause. [Applause.] I rejoice' with you iu the succeei which has so far attended ihat cause ; [applause.] yet in all our rejoicings, let us neither e:;press nor cherish any harsh feelings towards anv citizen who, by his vote, has differed with us. [Loud cheering.] Let us at alf times remember lhat all American citixena are brolhersof a common country, and should dwell1 together in the bonds of fraternal feeliug. [Immense applause ] Let me again beg of you to' accept my thanks, and to excuse me from turther speaking. At this time tbe speech called forth the most unbounded enthusiasm, and numerous erica of ■•Good." "That's right," &c, and at iheconilusn IT Cheers were giveu lor Mr. Lincoln, Mrs, Lincoln, Gov. Yates, &c. Tbe crowd then adjourned to the Wigwam, where Senator Trumbull delivered a short address,* in which he predicted a restoration ol the better and purer days of tbe republic, the preservation of our Iree institution, aud the perpetuity of con stiiutiona! liberty. . After Senator Trumbull, speeches were made by Gov Yates, Hun. Dion Pialt, of Ohio. Judge Palmer, and others. A magnificent display ol fireworks closed the jubilee. Lucky PoROttASB.—The Mercantile Library Ai- socialion of New York has jusl acquired a collection of about :i.000 manusciipls.ehiellyielating to the American revolution. liutannall part of lhe manuscript*have ever been published.

I am sick ol '-chaste ribbons/' aud "ravishing lace." I am sick,in an age which produced a Bronte and a Browning, of the prate oi men wbo assert that every woman should be a perfect housekeeper, and fail to add that every man should be a perfect carpenter. I am sick of women sell- styled "literary," who think it a proof of genius to despise everyday household duties. I am sick of schools for tbe manufacture of bent spines. I am sick of parents, the coffins of whose children are already being made, asking the teacher to add another branch to tbe already suicidal pile of les sons. I am sick of overworked, ill-paid operatives. I am sick of seeing tracts distributed where soup and bread should go. I am sick of noodles in high places, and intelligence and refinement sitting in inglorious ease by their owu firesides, I am sick of the encouragement held out to women by the other sex to remain pretty idiots, followed by long moral essays upon the enormities ol being such. I am sick ol flummery of nonsense and humbug wid pretensions of every kind. I am sick of this everlasting scrambling and crowding, and pushing and jostling, on the edge ofthe (ive feet of earth wbich is all auy ol us can have at last, after all our pains.

This was especially true of the Duke of Newcastle, and the inference was drawn that onr British cousins were not very particular about the artistic elegance of tbat part oi thier attire. It appears, however, that all Englismen are not thus indifferent, for we lind that tbe correspondent the The London Times wbo traveled with the Prince, waa especially shoked by the badness of the bats worn in St. Louis. "If it is true/' says tbis writer, "as I certainly believe it, tbat the worst hats iu the world are worn in America, so it is equally beyond a doubt lhat the worst hats in America are worn iu St. Louis." We dotrt know how far ibis may be true as regards the people of St. Louis, but we will stoutly maintain thut there are (ew gentlemen in New York wbo would like to go about in as bad a hat as waa worn bee by bis Grace of Newcastle.— JVeto York Tribune. Glaaa* We took occasion to notice favorably, yesterday, the works of tiie Missouri Glass Company, near Concordia Park, and to advise persons hav 'ut; any curiosity ou tbat subject to go down there and eee tlie dillerent processes ot glass manufacture. Not only is glass blown and moulded there, but it is also ground, cut and engraved. When it leaves lhe blowenr or moulders' bands it is exceedingly brittle, and if suffered to become cold, would not bear the least strain; iu lact. the changes of atmospheric temperature would soon break most of the articles. To prevent this lUcy are put, while hot, into an aunealing oven, or tcer, where they are cooled very slowly, Irom one Lo two days being required to properly anneal lbem. A lamp which would, previous to annealing, break by the falling upon it of a small shot, becomes tough enough, when used as a hammer, to indent an oak plank, aii experiment which we have seen repeatedly tried. What is commonly called ground glass is prepared in two w.iyu. either by grinding tin; surface witli emery powder or spreading upon it a paste composed principally ot powdered while glass, and heating it till this powder melts aud fuses upon the fabric. The former process is tbe one made use of to deaden the surface «f globes, Bhades, Slc. The latter is more convenient when flat sheets are to be prepared. To imitate cutting the paste is rubbed off before heating, and wheu this is done the surface remaius transparent. Glass is cut by grinding out ihe required figures upou One stones or emery wheels, aud then polishing the places thus worked. We saw them at the works the other day making two pair oi large decanters to replace some broken in nn expensive , French dinner set, where about one hall of the weight of each one was cut by the wheel. Though they were massive and elaborate, we did not think them as handsome as some the Company were making, Irom designs of their own. Glass to be cut is often ground first, as iu tbe case cf lamp shades, making the ground opaque aud the figures highly polished ; this is an entirely distinct pro Cess from engraving, where the figure is roughed ou the original smooth surface. This is an art whioh has lately been introduced, but already such improvements have beeu made in the process that it does not add very much io the cost of the original. Tbe former method was to cover the article with a thin coaling ot wax, then etch the design through the wax and bite it iu with fluoric ucid. an expensive aud elaborate operation ; now the design is rapidly engraved upon the glass with copper tools aud emery ; fiat places like the leases of a tlower being engraved with small wheels, aud lines by means of copper points, revolving rapidly, the article being pushed along under them. A skillful workman will ihus orua meut a large lamp shade in a short time, aud if he bas taste will compose his design as the work progresses, without the trouble of any previous drawings- As wc said before, all these things are done in St. Louis, aud if, instead of two glass works here, there were twenty, each one would have more thauitcculd do. We ouly need enough establishments here so tbat any purchaser could find his whole assortment here, aud Pittsburg would no longer supply the valley of the Mississippi- In auy kind of manufacturing, the item of transportation is tbe only one which does not in the least enhance the value of the material. It is so much dead weight with which the goods are to be loaded ; in every article where this can be saved, as iu the case of glass, we shall urge upon our readers the importance of those branches of industry to St. Louis, and we hone our exertions will not be entirely devoid of good results.—Missouri Republican.

' B political oppoaeat- BECOMING Impatient.—Tbe Republicans nre becoming a little uneasy lest enough Southern Senators should not resign to give them control ol that body. Thus far we have ouly Iwo vacancies, Chestuut and Toombs ; four or live more will be ueeded to answer tlie purpose. Do the other Be ceding States intend to disappoint our e::pecta tious in this respect ?—AIo. Democrat. Two Brotueks is and Two Out.—Waabbarne, of Wisconsin, and Washburue. of Main, go out of Cougress at the close ot tbe present term, and two other brothers go in—both, by a strange coincidence, for tbe same State. Frederick A. Cook- ling, just elected to Cougress from the Sixth District of New York, is a brother of Roscoe Cotik- liug, who ia re elected from the Utica district. Tub Capitol.—The capitol at Washington ie being burnished up for the winter session of Con gress, to commence December 3d. In the House the desks have been restored, taking lhe pluce of the lixed benches, and tbe appearance is much better. Now, if members will be decent about the use of them, and not fill up the aisles by attending to frauk their patent oflice reports during the sessions, they will probably be allowed to remain. It was because tbe lioor of the House looked more like the packing room of some publishing establishment than like a legislative body, that the desks were ordered to be removed before. Bwrrrsii Aomiraltt Provision Contracts—A Dublin correspondent of the London Times, referring to lhe Admiralty contracts fur the supply tif beef and pork for the navy, recently decided, says it is understood tbat all tho beet haa been taken on behalf of American houses, but a targe quantity of the pork will be made up in Ireland. The Genesee (N. Y.) Couuty Board of Supervi nor* bave elected Miss Uattie Smitli their clerk. \Ii*s Smith was for several years tbe acting clerk under her father, the late Richard Smiib, Esq., and is perfectly competent to fill the oflice. Election op the Patriakcu of thk Greek Church m CoMSTAKTlNOpLH.—But it became plain that he had uo chance in tbe synod of bishops, if nil the bishops were allowed to vote. So it was proposed in the lower or communal assembly to [■\cliule all thoso bishops against whom charges had beeu preferred by lbeir respective diocesses. lor ecclesiastical and moral dfllmqneucics. 1 will quote how from the Levant lb raid : "A regular Donnybrook tournament now began. A strong minter of bakkuh (strong fisted grocerboys) Iroin all parts of the city bad beeu prepared, and with ... promptness and energy tbat would have d^ue credit to a band of New York rowdies, these gentry commenced an indiscriminate and very efl iot- ive assault on their patrons' opponents. In a few minutes the fight became general-urchdeaeon- attacked bishops. bMiopa arebbishops-and tbe whole, each other and everybody else, wherever ther''was a head to be cracked or a beard to be „u1Kh1. Tliehi.,hop of Deeapulis, especially, narrowly escaped strangulation by the arebdeacou ol -Vdnamiple. who in his turn lost three quailen* ol his beard in the hand-, of a lay.nan, who came to lbe episcopal rescue. At la*t, making himsell heard above this war of blows, shouts and hisses, tho patriarchal vicar, in a stentorian voice, declared Ihe assembly dissolved, in the name ot the Sultan, and rushed frantically from tin Influence of U-niglnt at nn Orator. Missouri is the only Stale wherein Senator Douglas made a speech during the late campaign; tbat presents any hope ot giving bim an electoral vote. Itis a noiiceaiile fact, lhat Douglas did not speak in New Jersey, und that State in lhe only oue in ibe North which votes &gaia&t Lincoln as far as heard bom. The Lincoln journals ol New Jersey jocosely allude to the luct. and regret that he did not favor ihem with a lew leinarks. The Quincy Whig has discovend tbe reason why the Republicans lost Adams county. Illinois. It becomes quite humorous on the subject. Wituees tin* following: "Onr Republican friends felt ralber disappoin: ted on Tuesday nighl, when Ihey lound that they had lost the city by a small vote, and soon alter; the county also by a slighlly inereased Democratic majority. Tbey had all worked hard and faithfully, had watched the polls on Tuesday, and kept out a great many illegal votes, had stirred u(> Ilia lukewurm, had made handsome gains in HOiiiti town-, aud knew the State anil ihe nation wer.e sore, and yet ihe county went against them! ft was provoking, decidedly ; aud why was it, wan the question, "But •Eureka''—tbey have found it! The case is now plain as a pike stalf—nothing can be plainer. It was not thai they did not work faithfully; were not zealous, or Wide Awake; wero not watchful against importations, or neglected to bring out thair own men. It was because Douglas '■passed by on the other side" of this town, and refused to come heie with his "great principle!" That is it aud "nothing Bhoiter." He spoke »t Alton, and straightway Alton wes-redeemed. Ho spoke iu the shadow of Old Abe's home, on pur-' pose tbat Springfield should repudiate the "sectional candidate," and Springfield rel'us d to do any such thing. He spoke nt Chicago, the West- era "hub of tiie Universe.*" and Chicago increased her usual majority, as "easy as rolling off a log." We need not recount what he accomplished in otber State*—how iu Iowa, where the "great principle" elevated him so blxb as almost to disable him from standing ou a dry goods box, and the mnjoriiy was increased from 3,000 lo 10,000— nor in Ohio, where be lectured to the small boyH in his shirt sleeves, lbe Agorae went up (rom 13 000" to -10,000, nor anything about New York, Nev* England, or ihe sunny South. They are all written in the Book of the Chronicles of his pilgrimage, and he who runneth quite fast can read them. We lost Adams coniuv, then, because Stephen did not come here! Thai is it. It was a cruel slight he put upon his Iriends. Tliey wanted bim to come bad enough, aa they, with the Herald man, refused to believe that his missionary labors were all for our good. Willi the result beforo them, thev may forgive li'm now, but ice never can. Ob"! Slepheu! Stephen! son of thy mother—when next thou run nest for President, wo will give all our funds to thee Ibr one "great principle" speech in thy shirt sleeves from some balcony or barrel, iu ibis thy early home—oor own dear Quincy." ■»» ..^»,. .,»»■ - Ri'imblkun Jubilee. Si-ringf-elo, III., Nov. 20.—The jubilee at Lincoln's bouse, in honor nf his elevation, is one o'f the most splendid demonstrations ol the campaign. Large crowds ol strangers arrived on the cars. A large Wide Awake procession, after parading thiough the principal Street*, drew up in front of Mr. Lincoln's re-ideucc, where an immense crowd had already assembled. Loud calls being made- for him, he appeared in the deor, and waa greeted with long continued cheers. When they at last ceased, he spoke as follows : t'lUENos 4.ND Fellow UlTIZBMB : riease excuse me on this occasion from making a speech. I thank yon for the kindness and compliment of Ihis call. I lliauk yon, in common wiih all others who have thought fit. by their votes, to endorse lhe Republican cause. [Applause.] I rejoice' with you iu the succeei which has so far attended ihat cause ; [applause.] yet in all our rejoicings, let us neither e:;press nor cherish any harsh feelings towards anv citizen who, by his vote, has differed with us. [Loud cheering.] Let us at alf times remember lhat all American citixena are brolhersof a common country, and should dwell1 together in the bonds of fraternal feeliug. [Immense applause ] Let me again beg of you to' accept my thanks, and to excuse me from turther speaking. At this time tbe speech called forth the most unbounded enthusiasm, and numerous erica of ■•Good." "That's right," &c, and at iheconilusn IT Cheers were giveu lor Mr. Lincoln, Mrs, Lincoln, Gov. Yates, &c. Tbe crowd then adjourned to the Wigwam, where Senator Trumbull delivered a short address,* in which he predicted a restoration ol the better and purer days of tbe republic, the preservation of our Iree institution, aud the perpetuity of con stiiutiona! liberty. . After Senator Trumbull, speeches were made by Gov Yates, Hun. Dion Pialt, of Ohio. Judge Palmer, and others. A magnificent display ol fireworks closed the jubilee.
