The Ladies h ave beetL taking advantage of the few clear days we have had this week and the frosty roads. . They have been fluttering round the streets in great numbers, enjoying the smiles of the old Sun and some of the son's that are not quite so .old but which received the most of their smiles, the old gentleman or the young gentlemen, is a matter of some doubt. They looked up at the old fellow as he came peeping through the dark, deep blue clouds that had covered his countenance for

' many days, as if they were glad to see him and we have no doubt they were. Fashion holds a mighty sway in our - city at this time the natives -of all elements, beast bird and reptile, are robbed to decorate the persons of our belle's, while the rainbow colors enrich and beautify them. That the little hustle they create on the street may either have a foundation on something useful ' or of stern reality- thatthe hues of their mind may never be as changeable as that of their dressthat they may never collar any-thing but their own pretty necks, unless it is the neck of some incorrigible old Bach that they may always keeps their skirts clear of immorality, and plume themselves on their correct deportment, is our earnest wish.

We are informed on authority not to be. questioned, that a candidate before the Legislature at its present session, for a distinguished office, was also a candidate for a second office, and that his immediate election to the second, depended in a. great measure on his success before the LegislatureLeap year is nearly out, and. those in the field; for the consummation . of desires " most devoutly to be wished," should remember that, 'tis not so noble in the mind to suffer the wants and miseries of a lonely .bachelor, as to declare against those vexing evils, and by marrying, end them and, by this act, to end the heart-ache, and the thousand other ills the Bach's heir to Who will bear the sneers and jests of girls, the beaux contempt, old woman's contumely, the misery of sleepless nights, and sighing days, 'that all who want a wife are doomed to suffer, when he so quickly can deliverance gain by a bare wedding? Let not the dread of something after marriage, that Undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveler returns, puzzle your wills, and make you rather bear the ills you have, than fly to others you know not of. . ' - We hope, therefore, that those that hold the balance of power in electing the candidate alluded to, to the second office, will not be as arbitrary as the free-minded Legislators have proved themselves, but that they will abide the caucus nomination.

Judge Morrison was re-elected to the Presidency of the State Bank, on last Friday, in opposition to Major Mace. No better selection could have been made, as the Judge has filled the office during the term just expired, with honor - both to himself and the institution.

Secretary of State. On Monday last the two houses went into an election of . Secretary of State, and after balloting eleven times without an election, adjourned. - On Tuesday, at 2 o'clock', the convention re-assembled, and succeeded in electing Charles II. Test, in opposition to Gen. David Reynolds, the caucus nominee of the Democracy. Next Monday a week "is Christmas.

We presume the original from which this was taken belongs to some member of the Legislature,

who has carelessly dropped it out of his pocket. " Toe the honirible, the members of the pineral
