RUSSIAN MARRIAGE CEREMONY* At the appointed lime, a largo nnmbof of, frichds of the parlies having previously assem bled in the cliurch, the-priest attired, in tich vestments, and attended by a deacon, proceeded down the church from, the altar to the door, where he received the candidates for ‘ matrimony.— After.he had delivered to each a lighted taper, and made the sign of the cross three limes on their foreheads he conducted th'd’m to tho uppbl nave. The bride was attended by young ladles in splendid dresses, and inscense was scattered before Them as they advanced. The priest, as he wont, recited a litany, In wliichthe choristers assisted, and, at its conclusion, hailed before a table, on which the rings were, deposited; then, turning, towards tho aliar, with the bride and bridegroom'behind him, he repeated a short and very impresklvo player or invocation..

After this, the priest took both the parlies by the hand nnd ted them towards a silken carpet, which Iny spread upon the ground. This is lo the mass of The speol.Uorsj a moment of The. greatest, inleresl; for it is firmly believed that the party which first steps upon, the carpel will have Ike mastery over the .other throughout life. ‘ “ '• ' Two silver imperial crowns-was ' then pro duced by a layman and received by the priest, who, after blessing the bridegroom, placed one of those' ornaments upon bis head ;-the oilier was merely held over the bride's head, in,order that the superstructure raised by a fashonablo bair-drosscr of St., Petersburg might not be de ranged. ' After tbo crowning, a cup was , brought to tho priest, who, after drinking from tl himself, gatfe ,U to the' brldgfoom, svbo took throe sips and then-delivered it to the bride, by whbm the same corimony was repealed. . After a short pause, other prayers-were recited, and', these lieincr concluded, the priest took the pdr by the hand and walked them three times' around the desk,.reciting snmu sentences; Theni taking off the bridgroo.n's crown, he said,—“Do thou magnified, 0 ..bridegroom, as Abraham! Do thou blessed ns Isaac, and multiplied as Jacob, walking to pence,'•'mid performing.thocommand ments of God in righteousness: 1 * In removing the bride’s crown, bo said.— “And. be thou, magnified, 0 bride, as Sarah' Do thou joyful ns Rebecca, and muliiplied as Rachael; delighting in thine .own husband, and. observing the bounds of 'the law, according to the good pleasure of God.” After this the tapers wore'extinguished,, and taken from the bride and bridgroom who were then dismissed by the. priest with his blessing, and received the. congratulations of tho company and saluted each other.. Dancing and feasting continues for three days after the wedding, and on the eighth day the parlies again repair to the church, when the priest performs the ceremony of' “disolving the ciowns,” with appropriate prayers, in allusion to (ho riles of matrimony.

In the month of April, 1848, your clianbcs for the Presidency were vague and uncertain. Whig poll libians in Philadelphia—at least the most prominent of them oil—fairly.laughed at the mention of your name in connection with that high office. When the Baltimore convention assembled, It was the earnest hope of thousands of llio Democratic.masses tlutyou would receive tho nomination at .the hands oflho representatives oflho Democratic party. This hope proved fruitless.

Nominated at this convention amid tho ruins of Whigism, and nominated in tho name of the people, tho Whig party did not dare to claim you as a veri table Whig, oflho true whig stamp, until the sth of July, 1848, when news came to Philadelphia that lion.Bhlio Peyton hud, in Now Orleans, eo’ernnly endorsed-you as a Wlii*, and placed your feci some where amid lhe luins oi the demolished Whig 1 plal lorrn. Tills statement gave inexpressible pain[ to' thoti sands of your friends in Pennsylvania. Well aware that you had not been nominated a* the candidate of any party, certain that you could not by any chance bn' elected in the ntiirto or .on the platform of the Whig party, your friends—l speak of (lie mosses, who loved you fur yourself and for your independent position—received the statement of Mr. Peyton with nn emotion that was not to bo mistaken or evaded. They fell ih-it either Mr. Peyton was in error, or that Zachary Taylor had falsified his often-repealed pledges, Under llie innuendo of this wide, spread fooling, I made bold to write and send to you' the following teller.
