It is enough toknow that being *- “SubduedEven to the very quality of her lord”she did her ‘soul and fortunes consecrate.’ It is stated that the bride’s father, jivho is a clergymaa^hds heretofore ‘argued that there should Im no social barriers between the races.’ He now, however, is heart-broken that the lesson he taught was learned so well, and wofully laments that his instructions have so returned as to plague the inventor.’ The Syracuse Star publishes the marriage and says: [Cleveland Herald.We expected as much; We were liberally abused for our discountenance qf/thisr falsimarriage, and charged with wilfully falsifying facts, because we insisted that this affair was in contemplation and would vet go off. Prof. Allen denied it, and others thought that | they had the most positive assurance fromIi his statements that the amalgamajion wed-Idinsr was a fiction. But now after he and hiswhite brethren have liberally impugned our motives, charged falsehood upon us, and made solemn asseverations designed to makethe public believe that no such thing was in contemplation, in two brief months the thing is consummated with allthe formality of : a religious observance, and this unholy amalgamation is perpetrated before high I heaven and asserted among men.| Prof. Allen and his fair bride are nowin !

Let them attendthe reception of the Duchessof Southerland, the soiries of English agitators, and the orgies‘of Exeter Hall. Let Geo.

Let themtraved among the groveiiug English operatives, who would gladly accept slavery if assured of a peck of corn each week; let them wander among European serfs whose life, labor and virtue a re the sport of despots, compared to whom the crudest slave-driver is an angel, and there proclaim their ‘holy-allionce.’ If the victims of English and continental tyranny did not turn their backs, disgusted with the foul connection, their degradation must be infinitely greater than we had supposed. *
