The'Whig lead , ers in the order immediately decided upon giv ling the gubernatorial chair to Mr. Pri ,ef — i -- wie - , -- and the Canal Commissionership to* Mr. Nor. !The deception in this matter was too plain not to be seen. If Mr. Poi.eoex. should be elected Governor, that would give to the Whigs the 1 patronage of the administration, and as there I was no doubt of Mr. ;Mores election, these same %Vhig leaders expected to get clear of him by abolishing the Canal Board. — But as this con duct' would likely create a fuss in the camp, -and prove a palpable exhibition of their decep tion. they created what they wished, and noiv expect to impose upon those who do not belong to the order, as well as those • Democrats who do. By voting for Mr. Mrtrr they induced the belief that'he was a Know-Nothing. This was widely circulated by them, well knowing that in a short time Mr. Mori would deny his con nection with the order in a manner not to be' _misunderstood: When this should happen. they intended exactly what they have been do ing: circulate that Mr. Morr betrayed - them, and therefore accomplish what they intended .from the beginning, the abolition, of the Canal Board, as revenge on Mr. it :rake it all in ail, there never was and never will, more than likely, be such a game of deception again play ed, in this State. It was, in fact, the utter prostration of all moral-feeling—the entire dis 'carding of every Christian precept—and the to tal Subversion of every like social relation. to accomplish a political triumph. It was accom plished : anti now to carry on to perfection the game as laitl down in the original programme. the abolition of the Canal Board is to be effect ed. But, we ask, what is the object in all this? Is there no trust or confidence to be placed in the present Board of Canal Commissioners? Ilave they perpetrated - frauds, which should br;ng down the fir(. of the people upon them ? Is a man who has been elected by nearly two hundred thousand of a majority of the popular vote to be turned out of office by the present Legislature, on the supposition that the people demand it? Mr. Momm, in our judgment, act ed in no manner deceptious to this Know- Nothing organization. They practised decep tion in all they done and said—they went straight up to a Demodrat's Tam and withont reserve stated to him * that which was. and which they knew at the time was, untrue. For three months previous; to, the election they practised this game, and are they now, inured as they have become to such an immoral course. to 'tell us that Mr. Morr betrayed them, and therefore the Canal Board should be abolished ? 'Out upon such hypocrisy. But why is this Board to be abolished? The game was to give the State administration into the hands of theWhigs—afterWards abolish, the Canal Board, and thus add to the patron. age of the Governor the patronage upon the public works; and the poor Democrats who l'hare been-, fooled outrageously in the whole transaction! are to assist in doing this won I:, ' to help out what the Whig leaders say in re venge on Mr, Moil. !

Some years ago, says the St. Louis Tntelli geneer. a very beautifid. young lady was- the ward of a person in Louisiana, who defrauded her out of quite a large fortune. This lady came to this city, a here she married, but not living on good terms with her, husband, finally obtained a divorce from him and retired to a convent. Whilst she was there she received a letter f;mn the son of her Timer guardian, informing her of his father's death, and. that, himself had heired all hi. vast property, bet that lie could not consent - to retain that which had been treacherously taken from another, and ofliqing to make restitution. The lady immediately proceeded to Louisiana, had an interview with the heir, and received back, both principal and interest, all that she had been wronged out of. The strangest part or the story remains behind.. No sooner hadsbe got possession of her fortune, than she return ed to this city, sought out her former husband, and in a few days was re-married to him.
