Tom Marshall of Kentucky
Tliia eccentric orator has dissolved hi8
relations with the Democrats un(l roan"
nexed himself to the "Whig party. Tho
Frankford Commonwealth given an amus-
ing account of tho characteristic way in
which the change was publicly avowed.
Marshall has been running lor tho Le-
gislature in "Woodford county as an inde-
pendent and was elected mainlv by the
votes of tho Democracy. After tho result
was known Mr. Barnes his competitor
made a short speech in which ho Baid
that lie considered it no disgrace to bo
defeated -by a man of Mr. Marshall's
1 splendid abilities. After Mr. B. conclud-
ed My. Marshall spoke and aftor paying
some beautiful complimonts to Barnes
said ho wished to make out an account
current with tho Democratic party. IIo
acknowledged that ho owed his election
to them and he sofchimself down as debt-
or for that. But had supported Mr. Polk
and otherwise dono the party somo (Serv-
ice ; for that ho elaimect a.credit and he
called upon the Democrats present to say
on which side tho balance stood. Somo
of them cried out "Oh we're indobted
' to you." " Well?' said Marshall "I for-
give yon the balance : square tho ac-
counts close the books ana from hence-
forth 1 am a "Whig forever'! "
The Extension of the Capitol.
Wo have been informed that each of
the wings of tho Capitol now in tho pro-
gress of erection aro in dimensions two
undred and forty-eight feet with a width
of one hundred and forty-two feet that
they will be forty-four feed from tho pres
ent; DiUKiing aim win uu uumiuuieu wnii
it by enclosed corridors.
The dimensions of tho contemplated
Hall of Representatives will be ninety-
eight feet and six inches broad and one
hundred and thirty feet in length giving
' an area of more than twelve thousand
seven hundred square feet.
The dimensions of tho Senate Chamber
will bo seventy feet by ninety-eight feet
six inches. The galleries in tho ben ate
Chamber and Hall of Representatives
will each accommodate about two thous-
and persons and besides there will be
ample accommodations ior privuegeu per-
sons. Washington American Telegraph.
Gone back to his Old Friends.
It would appear from the recent amalg-
amation coalition of the New Yorkwhigs
that Mr. Fillmore is once more upon the
old platform by the side of Seward and
Greeley. This result is by no means sur-
prising to us. All his afthities all his as-
sociations have heretofore been with the
freesoilers and abolitionists and it is but
natural that ho should return to his first
love. No doubt tho terms of tho union
are acceptable to Mr. Fillmore and the
platform presented such a one as ho is
prepared to occupy. Let tho South look
to it that no half-hearted pseudo friend
of the Union with its compromises and
guarantees be smuggled upon them thro'
le cunning or designing demagogues.

The Randolph Negroes.
A correspondent of the Baltimore Patribt writinc from the western
part of Ohio in describing tho Miami Extension Canal in tho neigh-
borhood of Troy and Piqua speaks as follows reapecting tho present
condition of the emancipated negroes of the Randolph estate The
people in that vicinity can judge of the truth of the statement :
" Along the canal the majority of the Randolph negroes aro located.
It was in the adjoining county of Mercer that the largo tract of land'
was purchased for their settlement from which they were forcibly-
ejected by the white inhabitants. The condition of these poor crea-
tures is a sad commentary on the miserable policy of emancipating ne-
groes and allowing them to remain in this country. The majorityiof
these once invaluable servants aro now worthless pests upon the'eom-
munity among whom they are located and often want for cornmon
necessaries of life. I heaid several of them express an ardent wish. to
icturn to the shores of the Roanoke a.rnin. whnrn thpv nnrr liml nTntv

The New American House Boston. ' '
A full description of the American House recently opened by Lew-
is Rice the proprietor was published in the Boston Journal and Tran-
script. The following brief account of it is condensed from those
papers:
The American House is one of the finest architectural ornaments of
the City presenting a beautiful front of the Italian style. The main
building is 112 feet front on Hanover street with two wings of six
stories 150 feet deep to Sudbury street having a passage between
them of 20 feet in width the areas being so disposed as to admit 'am-
ple light and air from all sides the whole covering 27000 feet of land
erected and finished at a cost of about $300000. It has 310 rooms
and will accomodate 500 persons
The Indies' and Gentlemen's Parlors occupy the whole front on
the first floor approached by wide halls with ample receiving rooms.
A balcony extends along the entire front entrance to which is from'
the oriole windowtin the parlors. It cotains a suit of splended Bri-
dal Rooms very chastely decorated and richly furnished a peep at
which (says the Transcript) might possibly annihilate the stoicism cf
the most incorrigible bachelor '
The spacious Entrance Hall or Gentlemen's Exchange on the street
level extends through tho centre of the building and measurse 1(30
feet in length by 30 in width. ' ''
Betides live main stairways leading to the upper floor there 'are
several other flights in various parts of the American House so-'that '
in the case of fire or any other cause arriplo means of ejrress nre'Sro-
vided. V
Tho immense structure has been built upon a unique plan combin-
ing tho utmost convenience of arrangement with great elegance and
thoroughness of finish and the introduction of alKthe desired modern
improvements and it is probably the best calculated in all its appoint-
ments for a large business houso of any in thecountry. A number
of our best city artisans mechanics and furnishers have contributed
their skill and tasto to this noble pile which of itself sufficiently speaks
their praise as seldom is there found in a single buildin so much of
general perfection. f
