Sorrszr or tar “ Merrie Bacnetors,” 1s Cevesration or tae Evection oF Jamas Bu- CBANAN TO THe Presipexcy.—It is well known that the President elect is one of the bacheloric fraternity ; and hence the “ Merrie Bachelors,’’ a —_ of —— poss oe it gentlemen residing in the vicinity crt! yard, determined to celebrate bis election to the highest office in the gift of the people, by a grand supper, which came off on the evening of the 22d inst , at their hall on Sth street east. At 9 o'clock, the company sat down to a bountifal supply of the ings of life, to which they fa ample justice, and which was presided over with inimitable grace and dig- rity, be Mr. Lem. Gaddis, the President of the Club. Having, with appetites sharpened by the keenness of the weather, speedily made away with the solids, the clatter of knives and forks was quickly succeeded by thejingling of glasses; and the regular toasts being first in order, the Chairman of the Committee, (Mr J D. Brandt) under whose immediate supervision the supper was prepared, after a few happy remarks in allusion to the gratifying occasion which had called them together, offered the following : James Bucnanan and John C. Breckin- redge. President and Vice President elect of the United States: The elevation of these statesmen to the highest offices within the gift of a free people is but a just reward of their devotion to the principles and guarantees of the Constitution. In defence of these they bravely led on the democratic hosts to victory, undismayed by the storms of faction, or the wily snares of a secret foe; and it is with joy and exaltation that we gaze upon their glori- ous banner, now proudly waving o’er the bat- tle-fleld—a warrant to mankind of the contir- uation of our republican institutions, and the safety of that priceless boon—Civz/ and Re- ligious Laberty! May a kind and ever watch- fal Providence guide their councils, and pro- tect their administration from the treachery of designing friends and the malice of secret or open enemies; and may their names de- seend to posterity amid the blessings of a people made happy by their wisdom, their patriotism, and their love! The Constitution: The glorious legacy of our forefathers, shield of our liberties, and bulwark of our political faith: [ts heaven- born precepts should be graved deep into the hearts of our countrymen. Withered be the arm that dares to assail it! The Star Spangled Banner: Flog of the free and the brave—bright emblem of the co: solidation of many States into one glorious Re- ublic—may thy shining folds never be trailed n the dust, nor one star obliterated from thy blue field by the suicidal hand of disunion. The Democratic Party: Unsubdued by the open attacks of its enemies, the treachery of friends, or the machinations of a secret foe, it must ever triumph if true to its principles! These admirable sentiments were all drank with three times three, showing that they touched a responsive chord of patriotism in the true hearts of all the “Merrie Bachelors.”” At the conclusion of the regular toasts, ail formal restraint being removed, the remainder of the night, until the wee small hours, was spent in the interchange of friendly feelings, sentiment, songs, and wit, which sparkled with undimmed lustre to the end, and in the course of which many spicy and apropos volunteer toasts weredrank. The following having been Preserved among the many good things said and sung By Jno. Browers: James Buchanan—We esteem him as a ‘‘ Prince of Bachelors,’’ and honor him as the President elect of a mighty republic. ly W. W. Browning : Our Country—Though ithas been agitated for a time by political strife almost to a civil war, it has now re- turned to its natural position, awaiting to re- ceive Franklin Pierce to mingle with the mul- tit in quietness, and to honor and rever- ence the determined statesman James Buch- anan. Song—‘ Star Spangled Banner.” By Lem’! Gaddis : The Presidential Chair— A fortress, which the raging army of fanati- cism were unable to penetrate while com- manded by Franklin Pierce, who will soon evacuate that citadel to make room for an- other chieftain, who intends to fortify it with & new description of ordnance called ‘‘ Buck- ¢annon’'—a cannon which proved so effectual in the field at the great battle fought on the 4th of November, 1856. Song by Jas. Boison— * The Flag of the Free *’ By Wm. Gaddis: John W. Forney—The war-horse of Democracy; although he has been — of his war equipage by the traitors of his own State, yet they will never be able to curb that steed, always foremost in the fight for the defence of the Constitution and the Democratic party. By Lem. Gaddis: Woman—Her name has even made the stern and determined combi- nation of the Merrie Bachelors quail ; she has sent her electric dart into their midst, and has carried into captivity captive several of their brightest ornaments. yy Wm. Gaddis: Those who have patron- ized this humbis celebration of the Bachelors Club :—Their presence has given eclat to the occasion that will in future urge on the Bach elors be! ag deeds. Responded to by F. Barry, Esq By Jno. Valk: To the Bachelors Club.— When astranger, I was received by them with that cordiality never to be forgotten; may they continue te exist, never to be dissolved, except by the fascinating charms of woman. Responded to by L Gaddis By W. W. Browning: The Merrie Bach- elors’ Ball.—May it prove an occasion of un- rivalled pleasure, and should the charms to which the Merrie Bachelors are about to sub- ject thomeelves. lead off ove of their number & prisoner of war, may he be held in the con- fines of woman’s heart and laden with the ebains of matrimony. At an early hour the company separated, individuaily and collectively satisfied with themselves and the rest of mankind. They are glorious fellows, those ‘“ Merrie Bachelors,"’ ever ready for genuine fun of all kinds, and withal true, sterling Democrats. Their fidelity to the cause, under persecution of the most severe kind, entities them to the high consideration and esteem of every mem- ber of the party ; and this recherch per of theirs is but another evidence of their | ae fen devotion to principle. Hurrah for the “ Merrie Bachelors!’ 7 Nortce.—An adjourned meeting of the citi- zens of the Seeond Ward will be held at the Foundry church, corner of G and Fourteenth streets, on Monday evening, at 7 0’clock, to make more general arrangements for the re- lief of the _ - The meeting called on Wed- nesday night last by the Mayor, at Harmony Hial', was — poorly attended, and it is hoped that those who are able and willing will re- spond to this call, while so many of their fe!- low creatures are suffering from privation and want in their very midst. By order of the Committee. Wx. Perrizong. Tae Twe_rta Warp’s Batt —The prepe- rations that are being made for the bali to be iven st Copp's Saloon, on the night of the of Mareh next, by the Democratic Ciub of the Twelfta Ward of Philadelphia, are on the mor: extensive, democratic and agreeabie teale. We perceive various notices in the Philadelphia papers of facts concerning these Preparations, which satisfy us that it isto be the mest remarkable and interesting club or party ballever given in Wasbington. They are to bring with them, for the occasion, the best band to be obtained in Philadelphia. Donations —The Kev. James A.

Mr Brown then called up the bill to au- thorise the Commissioner of Public Buildings to remove obstructions from certain streets and avenues in the city of Washington, and to Pobre trespass on the same. his bill led to a long discussion on a mo- tion to strike out the third section, in the fol- lowing words: ‘That the Washington and Alexandria Railroad Company shall have authority to lay a railroad track along First street, across Pennsylvania avenue, and along Maryland avenue, from the depot of the Baltimore and Obio railroad to Potomac bridge, or to such other point on the Potomao river as they ma: select, provided the rails on said track shail not be laid above the level of the paving stones on said street and avenues: And, pro- vided further, That said company shall at ne time use steam as a propelling power on said track, and shall, moreover remove the said track without cost to the United States when- ever Congress shall so direct.’’ Messrs. Bell, of Tennessee, Fessenden, Fitz ee and others sustained the motion, and essrs Hunter, Toucey, and others opposed it, when the question was taken, and it was agreed to by a large majority. The bill was then reported to the Se; as amended, and was read the third time and passed Mr. Brown then moved to to take the sense of the people living west of Rock Creek, in the District of Columbia, on the question of the retrocession of that part of said District to the State of Maryland. This measure was discussed at some length by Messrs. Stuart, Seward, Pratt, Brown, and others, when it was passed over informally. take up the bill A Meetine of the Trustees of the Public Sobools was held at the City Hall, on the 7th instant, Mr. AtLee in the chair.

A communication was received from the teacher of the third distriet school, complain- ing of the action of the eub-board in suspend- —- from his position as principal. he sub-board of the third district made a report of the semi-annual examination of the several schools in their district. Mr. Dickinson offered the following : Resolved, That the action of the sub board of the third district in suspending the princi- pal teacher of the third district achool, was inconsistent with the provisions of the fourth section of the act in relation to public schools, and therefore inoperative and void. Mr. Pearson offered the following : Resolved, That for reasons assigned by the sub board of the third district, a account of his insubordination subsequent to the no- tice of suspension lately served upon him, the place as principal teacher of the third district school be, and the same is hereby declared, vacant Mr. AtLee here moved his resolutions, whic have already been published.
