' A POLITICAL CURTAIN LECTURE. Tho following, which we find in the Dan vers Courier, possesses little of tho fine hu mor and droll satire that pervades the diseour. sesof tho gfnuinc Mrs. Caudh, but us a political squib it is clever ami telling, and it Is not difficult to imagine such ideas as it presents, floating in the mind of the parties to the imaginary coloquy, however unlikely they might bo to give them utterance. The night preceding InaugurationJohn Tyler and James K. Poll; a.bcd together at the White House John ads James for an office for his son Robert James intimates that he has none to spare. You've got no office to spare, then, have you ; you hav'nt, hey I &o tins is mc way you arc going to repay mo and my family for all wc have done for you! So this is what I get for abandoning tho Whigs, and making over my party to have you elected. No office to spare and -10,00'J officers to turn out that had no business to be in office they ain't fit for any office, and you tell mc you have no office to spare ! What did I put them in for? I did'nt put them in Robert put them in no ! they put themselves in. I I put them in bcaus the Whigs must be put out, and somcloJy must be put in, vou know thr-y must, and 'how could I know who was fit for. office .' Do you supposo I knew every body ? 1 knew they warn't fit for office ; I put them in because they warn't. Icput them in to put tho Whigs out to carry out the great .A .tt,. nrinrinlr.. Now JamCS VOU know you treated me shabbily, aud you may as well own it. You wantrll to get rid of mo and steal mv thunder. You wanted to rido my Texas hobby.aud 1 helped you mount him. You know you did, Jim. Now that's a mod fellow just give Robert a good fat office, and I'll bo a friend to you as long as Yljive. Robert wants to travel. Give hun a foreign embassy ; make him minister pic nipoto England ; that's the place for Bobby. How he would make the court of Victoria staro 1 I can see him now umong the lords and ladies. What a sensation ho would make ! You must turn out that Bvcrett und Bend Robert. Whut do you say 1 hverctt a respectable man! Who says he is a respectable man ? Don't tell me ho is a respectublo man. If he is a respectable man, then he's no busi ness lo bo holding office. Ho ought to be turned out because he is a respectable man. a mcnontnliln man can eet aloni: without holdimr office. Send Robert to England he'll annex Oregon, and California and Cuba. ' Bobby will I know ho will. He'll dial-, lengo Aberdeen and fight Prince Albert, and put down O'Conncl the abolitionist, the agi-: tator, the incendiary, the fanatical unti-sla-' vory man. 1 should line to iigiu mm ana John M.

But his Lordship, after tho first escapade, was ' somewhat surprised that he did not receive a challenge from tho injured husband, and was so anxious to mako reparation mat ut last he wrote to offer it. Iiis note was worded as follows: "Sir Having done you tho greatest injury that ono man can do another, I think it incumbent on mo to ofTer you the satisfaction which ono gcntlorffan owes to nnothor in such circumstances." Tho re ply was this : " My Lord In taking off my hands a woman who has proved herself a wretch, you have dono me tho greatest favor one man can do another ; I think it incumbent upon mo-to offer the uc. knowlcdgmcnts which one gentleman owes to another in such circumstances."

The real causo of tho most violent quar rels is verv often bovond the reach of evi dence or explanation, and this it is which ac counts lor permanent and mortal uiuerences breaking, out on a trivial pretext, which seems like nothing j but is backed by old hatreds, indefinable slights, rivalries, and hoarded animosities. Tho once notorious Baron Von Hoffman challenged a man for not inviting him to dinner, a cause not like ly to bo avowed, but certainly it was the real ono. The Bftroa kd taft hia trunk in therefore, the oHrction of .Mr. M. wus no longer valid. Mr. B. replied tlmt he had now two children, consequently, the ineqcal ity still sii.is-intid.

This matter, when lust heanl from, was still going on, the ntijnbcrs being six to seven, and the challenge yearly' renewed. Dissolution or the Baltimore Ui:rr.AL Association. This association has no Irng er nn existence, having been formally dis. solved last evening at a numerous meeting. Tho president of tno association had rrcciv ed an authentic copy of the prrcli of Dan. iel O'Connell, recently delivered in Dublin bcforel the Irish National Association, in which he administered much ubu.se of this country, offered the Bri'ish Government, for u cnnsiJ eralion,' the aid of tho Irish people in a war against this country, should it occur on ac count of Oregon or Texas, t-o that the Amer ican eagle should be brought down Irmn Ins proud height, &C. all which bus bcni made familiar to the public by the new?pa pors. This hp. laid before the select committee of the association, and they, after mature deliberation, prepared a preamble and re. xnliiilnns. vindicatory of the association, its friends, ond the Irish adopted citiiuns, as connected with tne idea ot tno respect duo to American feeling, and a regard for their own character as American cilizens. Dan iel O'Connell wus freely censured, and he ond his speech both most cmphaticnlly re pudiatcd, and the laht of the series of'rcso. lutions dissolved the association, and trans ferred tho funds on hand to tho Hibernian Society. Tho resolutions wcro adopted and tho association dissolved. I A Good Cxi.. A wv t" d n"'tr is to'd iu focmili n wnli tl.c Pii !,' i.t s lu'c tnurol iltllirct.Ol llooDL'll Mil- ot llli I'iUlt.
