U0 hctcL THE DEATH STRUGGLE AT BUENA . v . VISTA. . . BY CKOKGE UPPARD. It wis near the setting of the sun; when the men of Palo Alto, Rescaca de la Palma, and -. Monterey, srfw the clouds come down on the last charge of Buena Vista, that a scene, worth, of the days of Washington closed the day in glory. Do you behold that dark ravine, deep sunken between these precipitous banks? Here no sunlight comes, for these walls o' rock wrap the pass in eternal twilight. Withered trees grow between masses of granite, and scattered stones make the bed of the ravine uncertain for the . tread. ' ... . . Hark ! That cry, that rush like a moon tain torrent burstiug its- barries, and quick as the lightning flashes from darkness, the dismal ravine is bathed in red battle light. From its northern exrremety, a confused band of Mexi cans, an army iu itself, come. yelling along the pass treading one another down as they fly, their banners, spears, horses and men tossed together - in irexiricable confusions. By thousauds they rush into the shadows of : the pass, their dark faces reddened by the sheeted blaz of m-isk'itry. The caverns of the ra. . vine send back the roar of the panic, and the ' grey rocks are. washed by their blood. Bat the little bnd who pursues this armj J Who are the)? Youvtay see in their firm heroic ranks, the volunteer costume of Illinois and Kentucky. : At thti reheard, urin,; Lis men with, ahouts, rides the gallant M'Kee, by his side joung Ileury Ciay, thtt brotd forehead, which reminds you of his father, bathed iu the glare as his 8 word quivers on hih ere it falls to kill. There, too, a wild figure, rd with bis own blood and the blo'td of Mexican foes, his uniform rent in tatters, -his arms bured to the shoulders -striking terrible blow3 with his good sword- Hardin of Illinois comes gallantly forward. The small, but iron band,-hurl the Mexicans frora the heights into the ravine, and follow up the chase, far down iu the eternal twilight of that mounlaiu pass-Look I As the musketry streams its steady blaze, yon wouM think tbatone ceaseless fheet of lightning bathed these rocks in flames! Over the Mexicans, man and horse, burled back io bad disorder, the Americans dash on their way, never heeding the overwhelming numbers of their foes, uor the palpitating forms beneath their feet, with bayonet, and rifle, aud : sword, tbev press steadily on, their well kuowu banner streaming evermore overhead. The howl of the dying war horse hark ! " Does it not chill your blood to hear it? The bubbling cry of -the wounded man, wilh the borse's boof upon bis month, trampling bis face into a hideous wreck does it not sicken your - soul to bear it? ' A hundred yards or more. into the pass the Americans have penetrated, when suddenly a yonng Mexican, rushing back upon their ranks, seizes the fallen flag of Annahuac, and dashes to bis deatbl - . To see him, young, and beardlessa-very boy rush with his country's flag, with his bared breast upon that line of sharp steel it was a sight to stir cowards into manhood and it shot into the Mexican hearts like an electric flame. " Even in their panic stricken disorder, they torned; by hundreds they grasped their arms and rolled in one long wave of lance and bayonet, upon the foe. Woe to the brave men of Illinois and Kentucky now! Locked in that deadly pasn, a wall of infuriated Mexicans between them and ' the wall of rocks above their heads, every ap erture among the .cliffs, the blaze of : muskets pouring a shower of bullets in their faces wher-ever they turned the long and deadly lance poia reu'at their throats it was a moment to think once of home and then to die! - Those who survived that fearful moment tell with' shuddering triumph of the deeds of the be- ' roes' McKee, Bardie xnd Clat, M'Kee, you see him yonder, with his shattered sword dripping blood; he endeavors to ward off the aim of those deadly lances, and fights on his kbees when be can stand no longer, and then the combatents close over him and yon see him - no longer. v - , Hardin rose frorn a heap of Blanghtered foes his face streaming from its hideous lance wounds ud waved the Miciflag in triumph, as his . life blood gushed in. torrent over his muscular form. That instant the full light of Battle was ipon his mangled face. Then flinging the cap. tnred flag to a brother soldier, he shouted uGive it io Tut as a memorial of Butna Vista I lf Wifeln It was ia last words. Upon his bared breast the fury of ten lances rnshed, and the horse's hoofs, trampled him into the heap of dead, Bat most sad and yet most glorious of all was to see the death-' of the second Henry Clay i ,Yoo sbonld havjO seen hiro, with his back against yonder rock, his sword grasped firmly, as the 'consciousness that he bore a name "that must not "die uigloriously, seemed to fill his verj veins, and dart a deadly fire from hU eyes! At thai moment he looked tkV4iis Father. For his brow, high nT retreatiDg, irith the blood dotted bwaviD,k7roaitf-ooUiae,' wis swollen In ''every in as taon'ghv his sonl hone front iV. era Oahji : fled, forever. Lips set, brow,knit, hand fittq a circle of his men fiht-ing around him he' dashed in to the Mexicans tntil lis iWorl was wet with blood; hu armJwek-rj. , ; r ' tt : f AtlasVitahislhigh plin'tered by sVball, he gathered his proud form to its full height, and fell. His face ashy with intense agony, he bade bis comrades to leave him there to die. That ravine ehould be the bd of his agony. But gathering round him, a guard of breast and steel while two of their number bore him tenderly along these men of Kentucky fought around their fallen hero, and as retreating step by step, they launched their swords and bayo nets into the faces of the foe, they said with every blow Ilenry Clay!' It was wonderful to see how that name nerved their arms and called a smile to the face of the dying hero. How it would have made the heart of the old man of Ashland throb, to have heard his name, yelled as a battle cry, down the shad ows of that lonely pass 1 Along the ravine, and up this norrow path I The hero bleeds as they bear him on, and tracks the way with his blood. Faster and thicker the Mexicans swarm they see the circle around the fallen man. even his pale face, uplifted as a smile crosses its fading lineaments, and like a pack of wolves scenting the frozen traveler at dead of night, they come howling np the rocks, and charge the devoted band with one dense mass of bayonets. . Up and on 1 The lights shine yonder, on the topmost rocks of the ravine. It is the light of the' setting sun. Old Tay Tor's eye is upon that rork, and there we will fight our way, and die in the old man's sight ! It was a murderous way, that path op the steep bank of the ravine I . Littered with dead, s ippery with blood, it grew blacker every moment with Mexicans, and the defenders of the wounded hero fell, one by one, into the chasm yawning all around ! At last ther reached the light, the swords and bayonets glitter in sight of the contending ar mies, aiid the bloody contest roars towards the topmost rock. . Then it was, that gathering op his dying frame armed with supernatural vigor young Clay started from the arms of bis supporters, and stood with outstretched arms, in the light of the setting sun. It was a glorious sight which he saw tf.rre, amid the foiling battle-clouds; Santa Anna's formidable array burled back in the ravine and gorge, by Taylor's little band. But a more glorious thing it was to see that dy in g man, standing for the last time, in the light of that sun which never snail rise tor h itn agxtii? "Leave me!" he shrieked, a bejfell back on the sod "I must die and I will die here!- Peril your lives no longer for me t Go I There is work for you yonder !' - The Mexicans crowding on hungry for bljjpd. Eveu as he spoke, their bayonets, glistening by hundreds, were leveled at the throat of the devoted baud. By the mere force of their ver-whelining numbers they crushed them back from tie side of the dying Clay." " ' " Only one lingered;. a btave man, who had known the chivalric soldier, aud loved bim long; he Mood there, and covered as he was with blood heard those last words: :; ,m Tell my father how I died and give 7am fiese pifulr Lifting bis ashy ta?e into light, he turned his even upon his comrade's face placed the pistols in his hand and tell back to his deatb. That comrade, with the pistols in bis grasp, fought bis wav alone to the topmost rock of the path, and only once looked bark. He saw a quivering form, canopied by " bayonets he saw those eutstreuhed bands grappling with points of steef he saw a pale face lifted once in the li(?ht, and then darkness rushed upon the life of young Henry C'av. A Brave Boy. A six-story building, in which were nearly one hundred human beings, was burned down one night lately in one of our large cities. Several perished. On the sixth floor of the burning house were a family of the name of Parrot seven persons, the father, mother, and five chil dren. - The father, who is a cripple, was awav at hi shop on another street, when the fire occur-ed. The eldest child, a boy of fourteen, had taken off his coat and shoes, and was studying hie lessons for school, when the alarm was given. Opening the door, he saw that the stairs were already impassable; and, returning to the room, he opened the window and leaped to the roof of the house adjacent, a two-story building, with a sharp, pitched roof wet with freezing water, he was able to retain his footing, and called to his mother to toss him the children. The next eldest girl, of ten or twelve, was letdown, but came near falling between the buildings, there being a space of a foot or more. The boy seized her by the hair, and dragged her on to the roof by his, side, and then successfully canirbt the vounper children. The mother attempted to let down the baby in a sheet, but the baby rolled put, and fell upon the snow on the roof, whence the boy caught it np uninjured, and placed it in charge of one of the other children. "Now, mother," said he "you must jump." The mother sprang from the window, but her weight, and having on shoes, carried her over the gutter, and she would have been dashed to pieces on the ice below, had not the heroic boy, bracing himself as be best could, caught her dress, and clung to her till she could place herself upon the roof. The whole family then made their way to the scuttle on the roof, through which they descended in safety, to be greeted by the poor father, who was below, almost distracted with the fear that they were perishing in the flames.

Horrible Murder A Woman Sills Her Husband. The Fort Wayne (Ind.) Times furnishes the details of one of the most horrid crimes that we have been called on to mention: "The murdered man and the murderess were husband and wife, and bad maintained that re lation to each other for a period of upward of fifty years. They resided on a small farm, which they owned in De Kalb county Mrs. Rnapp informed her son "Jakey," of her intention to kill the old man, and requested "Jakey"to hold the old man s hands while she would choke him to death. "Jakey" refused. So she said no more about the matter until next morning, when she pursuaded Knapp, under some pretence, to enter the milk house, and as he was in the act of stepping out of the building, she struck him on the back of the bead with a heavy club. She then seized the axe which she had ready, and struct htm on the forehead, fracturing his skulf She then dragged him to the well and threw him in, and as he went down he grasped the top of tbe gum, which grasp she forced him to release oy striKing mm upon the hands with the end of a heavy board, he then sunk to the bottom of the oil" Tho-nm. .1 - . "uiuou mrn torew into ine wen sev eral pieces of wood to cover the body, then con cealed the marks of blood upon her dress, and sent "Jakey" away. She was arrested, tried and sent to the penitentiary for life. The City of Jeado, Japan. A Japan correspondent of the New York Express says: . - Unlike to Pekin, Jedeo is not surrounded by walls; no magnificent gateways open their massive doors; no ninestory towers rise and frown above them; and no-bastions - and parapets upon the walls with cannon peering through the em brasure or mounted above them.reroind'the stranger as he approaches the city, that its happy people ever understood the art o: war, or that he lives in a world where it was ever known. Ascending the flight of steps,, and standing in tbe street, and gaziug upon w.hart meets the eye as it turns in different directions, the first feeling is that of disappointment, the houses are so unlike in size and elegance te what he had expected to them, and the second feeling is that of utter bewilderment, as he sees every where tall trees and groves and a thick undergrowth, while hills rise iucid ui luojiucrsuio ine ana - elevation, all shrouded in a mass of luxuriant vegetation hilU as rural and rough as any to be seen in a country town in New England and N. Y., which the human foot seems njver toJiave approached, or the baud to have touched. II' .-. I was in the midst of a city larger in territory and population than London, and yet aeemtcd to bo in h forests That feeling is the one first awa kened, and wander where one will, and as lor.g as he will, it is only deepened; and, in - my case at least,'made the more delicious. It is a law, or custom, which amounts to the same thing with tbe Japanese, that every man is bound to leave on his grounds as many trees as he found, and if. he cuts one down t i j lant another iu its place. He nee the forest city. Some groves covered acres, and were in the most perfect state of nature, while in other ploces, however thick the trees were planted, and deep the shade they cast, among them were to be seen neat hoivsesi and fine gardens, and the most elegant shrubs dwarfed, and their branches trimmed into the most fanciful forms. An English View of the Japanese Embassy to the United States. The London Times, May, 2, received by the Fulton, thus notices the visit of the Japanese "to the United States: "Never from the earliest periods of history has a diplomatic mission been sent out from the empire of Japan until the present day; but now nearly a hundred Japanese have started on what is likely to be a tour of tbe world, and perhaps before the Loudon season is over we may see genuine specimens of this wonderful people in the Crystal Palace or on the banks of the Ser-periine. The-prospect is due to the Americans who have got the first visit for themselves, and who, as even their official publications show, are not a little pleased at their success. . "Whether the embassy will be welcomed in every part of the world with the same enthusiasm is another question, but we may assure our A. merican friends that we are not . in the least de gree jealous of their priority in these arrange ments. If their squadron first scared them into sociability, they had a claim to the first treaty, and their geographical position was a pretty good guarantee for the honor of m Brat visit. It was no more than natural, indeed, that the first ef forts of the Japanese in the way of commerce should be directed to the shores of China or California, instead of being addressed to the more distant regions of Europe. We . care little in what way the. current flows eo long as it flows freely. It is already clear that Japan may become an exporting country, of great importance." '; Spirit Art. B. R. Briggs, a former resident of North Adams, Massachusetts, writes to lh Transcript "While I was living in Adam, thirty five years ago, I lost a dear, wife, of whom I had no like nets, and there was no likeness of her in exis-tonce, to my knowledge. A few months since, 1 wrote a letter to a man :n Columbus, Ohio, named Wolcutt, an entire stranger to me, who is called a 'spirit artisV jig. to him that I had lost my wife: thirty-five years " ago,' named Susan Briggs, of whom I had no likeneas! and if he could send me one, I should be very happy, and would reward him well for it. . A. abort time since I received a likeness from Mr Wolcutt, and I think it to be a perfect, one of my wife, and I am not alone in the. opinion. -Others who knew my wife think as I do of the likeness and I regard it as a better likeness of her than anv artist inlhis world could have taken when she was living. I have ascertained that my wife died before Wolcutt, the artist, was bom. ;- v u strange Hallacination. , A lady ia one of the rural districts of Dau phin county, whose mind had been considerably deranged by a heavy pecuniary loss which she had sustained, by some means got the impression that the little tumors which appeared on the top of her head were filled with witches, and insisted upon their being opened. Her physician at first endeavored to remove the erroneous impression, but finding it impossible to change her opinion, he permitted himself to be persuaded that his patiettwas right, and opened the tumors, per mining the witches to escape as the lady supposed whereupon she soon recovered her wonted health and spirits. ; The Cattle Disease in Congress. On Tuesday the following resolution, on motion of Mr. Delano, of Massachusetts, was adopted in the House of Representatives: Resolved, That the Committee on Agriculture be instructed to inquire respecting the novel and alarming malady now prevailing among the cat tie in certain localities of the United States, known Aapleuro-pneumonia; that they consider whether the infection has or Is likely to become sogeneral as to be a subject of national concern ment; and to recommend any action which it may be competent and expedient for Congress to take, with a view to arresting the ravages of so destructive a disease. - - "The Misery of Being Lionized. A correspondent at Washington writes: "The Japanese are subjected to a great deal of annoyance from the ill-mannered and curious Deode who follow them and -crowd upon them every where. :, Doting the procession on Monday they were literally surrounded by ragged urchins, who offered to shake hands with them, stuck their heads inside the carriages containing them, and kept op a cry that would have done honor to a tri be of Black feet. So at the hotel, the poor Japanese are tortured by all kinds of curious people; and, if I do not greatly mistake, the most of their tormentors go in petticoats sorry am I to write it. ; The Chia.Metoric Shower. The meteoric shower on the 1st of May near Zanesvillc, hurled its rockey bolts with great violence. At Marietta a report so loud was beard that it was supposed a steamboat had exploded. It shook the houses and Caused the ground to tremble. At New Coucord, twenty three sepa rate explosions were heard at intervals of from two to ten seconds. A flah was observed, and then from a cloud wan Keen to. descend, black specks, as of a flck of bjfdj. - One . stone has been found which weighs fl 0.1 ponnd j. , It sunk mo ine art'ijMFraW'Hr aiafOjov five inches in diameter iajiia course. A Wife Be-Married to a Divorced Has:'-band. ; . . The Boston Traveler gtves the case of a Woman in that vicinity whose 'husband had disappeared on account of reverses of fortune. Not bearing from him, after aHipse of two years she procured 'a divorce, on the ground of desertion. Recently the husband appeared, having in the mean tim , in a distant portion of the country, accumulated a fortune. The happy parties pro ceeded to a well known clergyman, werere-uni-tel. and are now enjoying the sweets of. a second honey-moon. Westward Emigration.-The East is still moving West, and the emigration from the Old World swells the tide with every arrival. At the last aocounts seven thousand Germans wtre'wsiting at Bremenhaven for an opportunity to sail for tbe United States. ' From the 13th to tbe 19th of May, no less than 1066 emigrants passed Columbus on the railroads, the State Journal says mostly for Missouri. ; Don't Bet with Minors. At the late term of the Scott County (Miss.) Circuit Court, a man named Matthew Jordon was found guilty of betting a dime with a minor, and sentenced to pay a fine of $300, and confined in the County Jail for three months. He was indicted for betting with a minor, knowing him to be such, and bad be been convicted of that charge, he would have gone to the Penitentiary for two years. . In the great thunder storm cf the 19th of February, in an extent of a hundred miles in Belgium, no less than 18 steeple. were struck with lightning.. S. M. Booth, the anti-fugitive sufferer in Milwaukee, attempted to escape from duress on Wednesday last. He was caught, however, and returned before he succeeded in bis attempt. t Hon. C. L. Vallandigham has accepted an invitation to ad-lress the Literary Scieties of the Virginia Military Institute on the 4th of July next. t& Mrs. Cook, a Connecticut lady, sues for a divorce from her husband, alleging that he compelled her to act the" clairvoyant and spiritual medium to the detriment of her health. Tboe of the Vice Presidents of the late Republican Convention at Chicago is a Canadi an, and never was a citizen, an i never resided ia the United States.

SlaUrma. . JJolrtioil IfoniiestrinL Platform Adopted by the National Republican Convention. Jtesolced, That we, the delegated representatives of the Republican Electors of the United States in convention assembled, in the discbarge of the duty we owe to our constituents and our country, unite in the following declarations : 1st. That the history of the nation during the last four years, has fully established the propriety and necessity of the organization and perpet nation of the Republican party, and that tbe causes which called it into existence are perma nent in their nature, and now, more than ever, demand its peaceful and Constitutional triumph. 2d. That the maintenance of the principles promulgated in the Declaration of Indepen dence, and embodied in the Federal Consti- rition, is essential to the preservation: of ocr 'Bepublican institutions, and : that the Federal Constitution, the rights of the States, must and shall be preserved. 3d. That to tbe Union of the States this na- t:on owes its unprecedented increase in populai tion ; its surprising developments of material resources ; its rapid augmentation of wealth ; its happiness at home and its honor abroad ; and we hold in annorrence all schemes tor disunion, come from whatever source they may ; and we congratulate the country that no Repub lican member of Congress has uttered or counte nanced the. threats of disunion; so often made by the Democratic members of Congress without re buke and with applause from their political asso ctates : and we denounce those whose threats of disunion, in case of a popular overthrow of their ascendency, as denying the vital principles of a free government, ana as an avowal of contem plated treason, which it is the imperative duty of an indignant people sternly to rebuke and forever silence. 4th. That the maintenance, inviolate, of the rights of the States, and especially of each State, to order and control its own lomestic institutions according to its own judgment exclusively, is essential to that balance of power on which the perfection and endurance of our political fabric depends; and we denonce the unlawful invasion by armed force of the soil of any State or Ter ritory, no matter under what pretext, as one of the gravest of crimes. 5th. That the present Democratic administra tion bit far ex ceded our worst apprehensions of its measureless subservency to tbe exactions oCa sectional interest, as especially evidenced in its desperate exertions to force the infamous Le-compton Constitution upon the protesting people , of Kansas; in construing the personal relation between master and servant to involve an un qualified property in persons ; in its attempted enforcement every where.on land and sea,through the intervention of Congress aud of the Federal Courts, of the extreme pretensions of a purely . .. ... . locai inceresi ; ana in iu general ana nnvary in abuse of the power entrusted to it by a con- nlmg people. . Ju.tt t - . '4 6th. That the jJjpople justly, view with alarm the reckless extravaaence which pervades everv department of the Federal Government. That a return to-rigid economy and accountabi'Iitv is indispensable to arrest the systematic plunder of the public treasury Dy tayored partizans, while the Foderal metropolissbow that an entire change of administration is imperatively demanded. 7th. That the new dogma tlat the Constitution of its own force carrie slavery into any or all the Territories of the U. S. is a dangerous political heresy, at varyance withe the explicit7 provisions of that instrument itself, with cotemporaneous expositions, and with legislative and judicial precedents, and that it is revolutionary in its tendency, and subversive of the peace and harmony of the country. cUb. That the normal condition of all the territory of the United States is that of freedom; that as our Republican fathers, when they had abolished slavery in all of our national territory, ordained that no person should be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law, it becomes our duty by legislation whenever such legislation is necessary, to maintain this provision of the Constitution against all attempt to violate it ; and we deny the authority of Congress or a Territorial Legislature, or of any inii-viduals, to give legal existence to slavery in anj territory of the United States. " 9th. That we brand the recent re-opening of the African slave trade under the cover of our national flag, aided by perversions of judicial power, as a crime against humanity and a burning shame to our cuutry and age, and we call upon Congress to take prompt and efficient measures for the total and final suppression of that execrable traffic. 10th. That in the recent vetoes by their Federal Governors, ol the acts of the legislatures of Kansas , and Nebraska prohibiting slavery in those territories, we find a practical illustaation of the boasted Democratic principles, ofnon-intervention and popular sovereignty, embodied io the Kansas Kebraska Bill, and a de-ronstration of the deception and fraud involved therein, 11th. That Kansas should of right be immediately admitted as a State under the constitution recently formed and adopted by her people, and accepted by the House of Representatives. 'r 12th. That while providing revenue for the general Government by duties upon imports, sound policy requires such an adjustment of these imposts as to encourage the development of the industrial interests of the whole country, and we commend that policy of national exchange which secures to the working-men liberal wages, to agriculture remunerating prices, to mechanics and manufacturers an adequate reward for their skill, labor and enterprise, and to the nation commercial prosperity and independence. 13th. That we protest against any sale or alienation to others of the public lands held by actual settlers, and against any view of tbe free homestead policy, which regards the settlers as paupers or supplicants for public bounty; and we demand tbe passage, by Congress, of the complete and satisfactory homestead measure, which has already passed the House. 1 4th. That the National Republican Party is opposed to any change in oar naturalization laws or any State legislation by which the rigte of citizenship hi'berto accorded to emigrants from for ! eign lands shall be abridged or impaired, and in favor of giving a full and efficient protection to the rights of all classes of citizens,' whether na tive or naturalized, both at home and abroad.-; 15th. That appropriations by Congress for river and harbor improvements of a national character, required for the accommodation and security of an existing commerce, are authorized by the Constation and justified by the obligation of tbe Government to protect the lives and- property of its citizens. .s . ( . , ; ' . 16th, That a railroad to the Pacific ocean ia imperatively demanded by the interests of 'tbe whole country ; that the Federal Government ought to reader immediate and efScient aid in its construction, and that preliminary thereto a daily overland mail should , be prompUv estat lUhed.'. , f ' T - 17tb. Finally having thna set" forth our dit-.tinctive principles and'viewa, we invite the cooperation of all citizens,, however differing on other questions, who substantially agree with as, la their afSnnance and support.

The towi of Madison, in Iike county, has been thrown into great exciieuieai by tl.e elopement of a white womaruatid a full -t.'oded negro, which occurrence, took pice. on Sunday night last.

O; late hty has noticed, with feelings vt)uh yre i,ee I not at-tempt to describe, a growing intimacy between his wife and the ni'gro. lie sp.tre to fcor about it, but she succeeded in jTjie?ing his sn-ipieion for a time. On Suuia)sTi'igki she iirjse froro bed, leaving her husband asleep, and fled witli the African. Strangely enough, they did. not leave the county, cr the town even, only going some five miles from the woman's late home. There they sought shelter at the bouse of ions friends of hers, and there they were at last ac counts. The woman left her young child with its father. . There ia talk of riding the neero on a rail, and-great excitement prevails. The woman as-sumes a bold face, and says she has a perfect right to run away with a negro if she wants to,, no matter if he be asblack as the Ace of Spades. An abolition Bentimeot and an abolition lit' erature has prevailed in tbe farmer's house for years. This elopement is the legitimate result. That Barrel of Strychnine Whiskey.-Because we recommend the Abolitionists l& put up a barrel of whiskey on top of their rail, for the reason that Mr." Lincoln bragged of working in a distillery, in Order to give spirit to the campaign, the Herald says we "must think that the Democratic party is coming into the Repub lican wigwam." We think no such thing. The Democracy never raised a barrel of intoxica ting drink as an emblem, nor ever sung such songs as the following, which ,was one of the songs of 1840:' "Cold water will do for therLocoa, Ot a. weak vinegar stew; Bat give ns bard cider or whiky, ; Who vote for old Tippccanoo!" and we trust they never will. Does the Herald man recollect that song? With a little amendment, it might be .made to serve as good a turn in 18GQ as in 1840. Nat. Democrat. What Lincoln Said ia 18,53, and 1817. In a speech delivered by him in July, 1858, at Springfield, Illinois, Mr. Lincoln taunted Judge Douglas with having Presidential aspirations, and jn that connection, in relation; to him self, said : ': " ' " -- --- "" ' " On the contrary nobody ever expected me tV be President. In my poor, lean, lank face nobody has ever seen that any cabbages were sprouting out. ' What was then true is no doubt still true; nobody at this time expects him to be President. But Abraham had thought about it, and had connected his own name with it maay years before that, for in a speech which be made when in Congress, the New York Herald, good Republican authority, says, he said: "If I should ever conclude to doff whatever there is of black cockade federalism about me. and, thereupon, they should take me np as their candidate tor tbe presidency, I protest they shall not make fun of me." Thus it seems he had thought of the thing, and more to the point he confessed that he was tinged with old black-cockade federalism. It is no wonder that he voted against the bounty land warrants to the Mexican soldiers, and also voted that the war was unjust and wrong. Stand front Under. The friends of Seward ia New York, a powerful majority of the Abolition pirtr, are already manifesting symptom of a grand bolt. The Tribune, adti-Seward organ, thus sneeringly announces the fact and threatens its authors. "We hear that some prominent members of the Albany lobby, who have hitherto professed to De uepublicaas, express their determination to bolt the Chicago nominations. This is good news. If a few members of th Logi-iUtare of the same stripe would join them, it would be a great help to the ticket." Here is a pretty muss to te?m the eaD:ri with. The Republican party carries in its own bosom the seeds of its dissolution. Iw member return from the grand powwow in the Wigwara at Chicago to commence a free fight aooi; themselves at home. The rottori hulk of Aboli tionism exhibits signs of going to pieces befor the first gun of the campaign baa been fired. When will the Ohio XUpnhlioans be Cir- enmcised? , There seems to be some anxiety to know when that part of the Covenant with "Old Abe," which was revealed to Mr. Paine, of Cnynhora. relating to circumcision,: will be literally fulfilled. The 13th of June, at the State Convention nf the party, has been thought by some, to be an appropriate time, whereas it is believed that Gov." Chase will favor the 1 3th of Joly, that bein? the anniversary of the Ordinacee of 1787. What ever time may be agreed upon f-r this solama ceremony, will, we suppose, be dulr annootcd in the Central Organ, and it seems to bf con ceded on all bands that the hardworkin?

U0 hctcL THE DEATH STRUGGLE AT BUENA . v . VISTA. . . BY CKOKGE UPPARD. It wis near the setting of the sun; when the men of Palo Alto, Rescaca de la Palma, and -. Monterey, srfw the clouds come down on the last charge of Buena Vista, that a scene, worth, of the days of Washington closed the day in glory. Do you behold that dark ravine, deep sunken between these precipitous banks? Here no sunlight comes, for these walls o' rock wrap the pass in eternal twilight. Withered trees grow between masses of granite, and scattered stones make the bed of the ravine uncertain for the . tread. ' ... . . Hark ! That cry, that rush like a moon tain torrent burstiug its- barries, and quick as the lightning flashes from darkness, the dismal ravine is bathed in red battle light. From its northern exrremety, a confused band of Mexi cans, an army iu itself, come. yelling along the pass treading one another down as they fly, their banners, spears, horses and men tossed together - in irexiricable confusions. By thousauds they rush into the shadows of : the pass, their dark faces reddened by the sheeted blaz of m-isk'itry. The caverns of the ra. . vine send back the roar of the panic, and the ' grey rocks are. washed by their blood. Bat the little bnd who pursues this armj J Who are the)? Youvtay see in their firm heroic ranks, the volunteer costume of Illinois and Kentucky. : At thti reheard, urin,; Lis men with, ahouts, rides the gallant M'Kee, by his side joung Ileury Ciay, thtt brotd forehead, which reminds you of his father, bathed iu the glare as his 8 word quivers on hih ere it falls to kill. There, too, a wild figure, rd with bis own blood and the blo'td of Mexican foes, his uniform rent in tatters, -his arms bured to the shoulders -striking terrible blow3 with his good sword- Hardin of Illinois comes gallantly forward. The small, but iron band,-hurl the Mexicans frora the heights into the ravine, and follow up the chase, far down iu the eternal twilight of that mounlaiu pass-Look I As the musketry streams its steady blaze, yon wouM think tbatone ceaseless fheet of lightning bathed these rocks in flames! Over the Mexicans, man and horse, burled back io bad disorder, the Americans dash on their way, never heeding the overwhelming numbers of their foes, uor the palpitating forms beneath their feet, with bayonet, and rifle, aud : sword, tbev press steadily on, their well kuowu banner streaming evermore overhead. The howl of the dying war horse hark ! " Does it not chill your blood to hear it? The bubbling cry of -the wounded man, wilh the borse's boof upon bis month, trampling bis face into a hideous wreck does it not sicken your - soul to bear it? ' A hundred yards or more. into the pass the Americans have penetrated, when suddenly a yonng Mexican, rushing back upon their ranks, seizes the fallen flag of Annahuac, and dashes to bis deatbl - . To see him, young, and beardlessa-very boy rush with his country's flag, with his bared breast upon that line of sharp steel it was a sight to stir cowards into manhood and it shot into the Mexican hearts like an electric flame. " Even in their panic stricken disorder, they torned; by hundreds they grasped their arms and rolled in one long wave of lance and bayonet, upon the foe. Woe to the brave men of Illinois and Kentucky now! Locked in that deadly pasn, a wall of infuriated Mexicans between them and ' the wall of rocks above their heads, every ap erture among the .cliffs, the blaze of : muskets pouring a shower of bullets in their faces wher-ever they turned the long and deadly lance poia reu'at their throats it was a moment to think once of home and then to die! - Those who survived that fearful moment tell with' shuddering triumph of the deeds of the be- ' roes' McKee, Bardie xnd Clat, M'Kee, you see him yonder, with his shattered sword dripping blood; he endeavors to ward off the aim of those deadly lances, and fights on his kbees when be can stand no longer, and then the combatents close over him and yon see him - no longer. v - , Hardin rose frorn a heap of Blanghtered foes his face streaming from its hideous lance wounds ud waved the Miciflag in triumph, as his . life blood gushed in. torrent over his muscular form. That instant the full light of Battle was ipon his mangled face. Then flinging the cap. tnred flag to a brother soldier, he shouted uGive it io Tut as a memorial of Butna Vista I lf Wifeln It was ia last words. Upon his bared breast the fury of ten lances rnshed, and the horse's hoofs, trampled him into the heap of dead, Bat most sad and yet most glorious of all was to see the death-' of the second Henry Clay i ,Yoo sbonld havjO seen hiro, with his back against yonder rock, his sword grasped firmly, as the 'consciousness that he bore a name "that must not "die uigloriously, seemed to fill his verj veins, and dart a deadly fire from hU eyes! At thai moment he looked tkV4iis Father. For his brow, high nT retreatiDg, irith the blood dotted bwaviD,k7roaitf-ooUiae,' wis swollen In ''every in as taon'ghv his sonl hone front iV. era Oahji : fled, forever. Lips set, brow,knit, hand fittq a circle of his men fiht-ing around him he' dashed in to the Mexicans tntil lis iWorl was wet with blood; hu armJwek-rj. , ; r ' tt : f AtlasVitahislhigh plin'tered by sVball, he gathered his proud form to its full height, and fell. His face ashy with intense agony, he bade bis comrades to leave him there to die. That ravine ehould be the bd of his agony. But gathering round him, a guard of breast and steel while two of their number bore him tenderly along these men of Kentucky fought around their fallen hero, and as retreating step by step, they launched their swords and bayo nets into the faces of the foe, they said with every blow Ilenry Clay!' It was wonderful to see how that name nerved their arms and called a smile to the face of the dying hero. How it would have made the heart of the old man of Ashland throb, to have heard his name, yelled as a battle cry, down the shad ows of that lonely pass 1 Along the ravine, and up this norrow path I The hero bleeds as they bear him on, and tracks the way with his blood. Faster and thicker the Mexicans swarm they see the circle around the fallen man. even his pale face, uplifted as a smile crosses its fading lineaments, and like a pack of wolves scenting the frozen traveler at dead of night, they come howling np the rocks, and charge the devoted band with one dense mass of bayonets. . Up and on 1 The lights shine yonder, on the topmost rocks of the ravine. It is the light of the' setting sun. Old Tay Tor's eye is upon that rork, and there we will fight our way, and die in the old man's sight ! It was a murderous way, that path op the steep bank of the ravine I . Littered with dead, s ippery with blood, it grew blacker every moment with Mexicans, and the defenders of the wounded hero fell, one by one, into the chasm yawning all around ! At last ther reached the light, the swords and bayonets glitter in sight of the contending ar mies, aiid the bloody contest roars towards the topmost rock. . Then it was, that gathering op his dying frame armed with supernatural vigor young Clay started from the arms of bis supporters, and stood with outstretched arms, in the light of the setting sun. It was a glorious sight which he saw tf.rre, amid the foiling battle-clouds; Santa Anna's formidable array burled back in the ravine and gorge, by Taylor's little band. But a more glorious thing it was to see that dy in g man, standing for the last time, in the light of that sun which never snail rise tor h itn agxtii? "Leave me!" he shrieked, a bejfell back on the sod "I must die and I will die here!- Peril your lives no longer for me t Go I There is work for you yonder !' - The Mexicans crowding on hungry for bljjpd. Eveu as he spoke, their bayonets, glistening by hundreds, were leveled at the throat of the devoted baud. By the mere force of their ver-whelining numbers they crushed them back from tie side of the dying Clay." " ' " Only one lingered;. a btave man, who had known the chivalric soldier, aud loved bim long; he Mood there, and covered as he was with blood heard those last words: :; ,m Tell my father how I died and give 7am fiese pifulr Lifting bis ashy ta?e into light, he turned his even upon his comrade's face placed the pistols in his hand and tell back to his deatb. That comrade, with the pistols in bis grasp, fought bis wav alone to the topmost rock of the path, and only once looked bark. He saw a quivering form, canopied by " bayonets he saw those eutstreuhed bands grappling with points of steef he saw a pale face lifted once in the li(?ht, and then darkness rushed upon the life of young Henry C'av. A Brave Boy. A six-story building, in which were nearly one hundred human beings, was burned down one night lately in one of our large cities. Several perished. On the sixth floor of the burning house were a family of the name of Parrot seven persons, the father, mother, and five chil dren. - The father, who is a cripple, was awav at hi shop on another street, when the fire occur-ed. The eldest child, a boy of fourteen, had taken off his coat and shoes, and was studying hie lessons for school, when the alarm was given. Opening the door, he saw that the stairs were already impassable; and, returning to the room, he opened the window and leaped to the roof of the house adjacent, a two-story building, with a sharp, pitched roof wet with freezing water, he was able to retain his footing, and called to his mother to toss him the children. The next eldest girl, of ten or twelve, was letdown, but came near falling between the buildings, there being a space of a foot or more. The boy seized her by the hair, and dragged her on to the roof by his, side, and then successfully canirbt the vounper children. The mother attempted to let down the baby in a sheet, but the baby rolled put, and fell upon the snow on the roof, whence the boy caught it np uninjured, and placed it in charge of one of the other children. "Now, mother," said he "you must jump." The mother sprang from the window, but her weight, and having on shoes, carried her over the gutter, and she would have been dashed to pieces on the ice below, had not the heroic boy, bracing himself as be best could, caught her dress, and clung to her till she could place herself upon the roof. The whole family then made their way to the scuttle on the roof, through which they descended in safety, to be greeted by the poor father, who was below, almost distracted with the fear that they were perishing in the flames.

Horrible Murder A Woman Sills Her Husband. The Fort Wayne (Ind.) Times furnishes the details of one of the most horrid crimes that we have been called on to mention: "The murdered man and the murderess were husband and wife, and bad maintained that re lation to each other for a period of upward of fifty years. They resided on a small farm, which they owned in De Kalb county Mrs. Rnapp informed her son "Jakey," of her intention to kill the old man, and requested "Jakey"to hold the old man s hands while she would choke him to death. "Jakey" refused. So she said no more about the matter until next morning, when she pursuaded Knapp, under some pretence, to enter the milk house, and as he was in the act of stepping out of the building, she struck him on the back of the bead with a heavy club. She then seized the axe which she had ready, and struct htm on the forehead, fracturing his skulf She then dragged him to the well and threw him in, and as he went down he grasped the top of tbe gum, which grasp she forced him to release oy striKing mm upon the hands with the end of a heavy board, he then sunk to the bottom of the oil" Tho-nm. .1 - . "uiuou mrn torew into ine wen sev eral pieces of wood to cover the body, then con cealed the marks of blood upon her dress, and sent "Jakey" away. She was arrested, tried and sent to the penitentiary for life. The City of Jeado, Japan. A Japan correspondent of the New York Express says: . - Unlike to Pekin, Jedeo is not surrounded by walls; no magnificent gateways open their massive doors; no ninestory towers rise and frown above them; and no-bastions - and parapets upon the walls with cannon peering through the em brasure or mounted above them.reroind'the stranger as he approaches the city, that its happy people ever understood the art o: war, or that he lives in a world where it was ever known. Ascending the flight of steps,, and standing in tbe street, and gaziug upon w.hart meets the eye as it turns in different directions, the first feeling is that of disappointment, the houses are so unlike in size and elegance te what he had expected to them, and the second feeling is that of utter bewilderment, as he sees every where tall trees and groves and a thick undergrowth, while hills rise iucid ui luojiucrsuio ine ana - elevation, all shrouded in a mass of luxuriant vegetation hilU as rural and rough as any to be seen in a country town in New England and N. Y., which the human foot seems njver toJiave approached, or the baud to have touched. II' .-. I was in the midst of a city larger in territory and population than London, and yet aeemtcd to bo in h forests That feeling is the one first awa kened, and wander where one will, and as lor.g as he will, it is only deepened; and, in - my case at least,'made the more delicious. It is a law, or custom, which amounts to the same thing with tbe Japanese, that every man is bound to leave on his grounds as many trees as he found, and if. he cuts one down t i j lant another iu its place. He nee the forest city. Some groves covered acres, and were in the most perfect state of nature, while in other ploces, however thick the trees were planted, and deep the shade they cast, among them were to be seen neat hoivsesi and fine gardens, and the most elegant shrubs dwarfed, and their branches trimmed into the most fanciful forms. An English View of the Japanese Embassy to the United States. The London Times, May, 2, received by the Fulton, thus notices the visit of the Japanese "to the United States: "Never from the earliest periods of history has a diplomatic mission been sent out from the empire of Japan until the present day; but now nearly a hundred Japanese have started on what is likely to be a tour of tbe world, and perhaps before the Loudon season is over we may see genuine specimens of this wonderful people in the Crystal Palace or on the banks of the Ser-periine. The-prospect is due to the Americans who have got the first visit for themselves, and who, as even their official publications show, are not a little pleased at their success. . "Whether the embassy will be welcomed in every part of the world with the same enthusiasm is another question, but we may assure our A. merican friends that we are not . in the least de gree jealous of their priority in these arrange ments. If their squadron first scared them into sociability, they had a claim to the first treaty, and their geographical position was a pretty good guarantee for the honor of m Brat visit. It was no more than natural, indeed, that the first ef forts of the Japanese in the way of commerce should be directed to the shores of China or California, instead of being addressed to the more distant regions of Europe. We . care little in what way the. current flows eo long as it flows freely. It is already clear that Japan may become an exporting country, of great importance." '; Spirit Art. B. R. Briggs, a former resident of North Adams, Massachusetts, writes to lh Transcript "While I was living in Adam, thirty five years ago, I lost a dear, wife, of whom I had no like nets, and there was no likeness of her in exis-tonce, to my knowledge. A few months since, 1 wrote a letter to a man :n Columbus, Ohio, named Wolcutt, an entire stranger to me, who is called a 'spirit artisV jig. to him that I had lost my wife: thirty-five years " ago,' named Susan Briggs, of whom I had no likeneas! and if he could send me one, I should be very happy, and would reward him well for it. . A. abort time since I received a likeness from Mr Wolcutt, and I think it to be a perfect, one of my wife, and I am not alone in the. opinion. -Others who knew my wife think as I do of the likeness and I regard it as a better likeness of her than anv artist inlhis world could have taken when she was living. I have ascertained that my wife died before Wolcutt, the artist, was bom. ;- v u strange Hallacination. , A lady ia one of the rural districts of Dau phin county, whose mind had been considerably deranged by a heavy pecuniary loss which she had sustained, by some means got the impression that the little tumors which appeared on the top of her head were filled with witches, and insisted upon their being opened. Her physician at first endeavored to remove the erroneous impression, but finding it impossible to change her opinion, he permitted himself to be persuaded that his patiettwas right, and opened the tumors, per mining the witches to escape as the lady supposed whereupon she soon recovered her wonted health and spirits. ; The Cattle Disease in Congress. On Tuesday the following resolution, on motion of Mr. Delano, of Massachusetts, was adopted in the House of Representatives: Resolved, That the Committee on Agriculture be instructed to inquire respecting the novel and alarming malady now prevailing among the cat tie in certain localities of the United States, known Aapleuro-pneumonia; that they consider whether the infection has or Is likely to become sogeneral as to be a subject of national concern ment; and to recommend any action which it may be competent and expedient for Congress to take, with a view to arresting the ravages of so destructive a disease. - - "The Misery of Being Lionized. A correspondent at Washington writes: "The Japanese are subjected to a great deal of annoyance from the ill-mannered and curious Deode who follow them and -crowd upon them every where. :, Doting the procession on Monday they were literally surrounded by ragged urchins, who offered to shake hands with them, stuck their heads inside the carriages containing them, and kept op a cry that would have done honor to a tri be of Black feet. So at the hotel, the poor Japanese are tortured by all kinds of curious people; and, if I do not greatly mistake, the most of their tormentors go in petticoats sorry am I to write it. ; The Chia.Metoric Shower. The meteoric shower on the 1st of May near Zanesvillc, hurled its rockey bolts with great violence. At Marietta a report so loud was beard that it was supposed a steamboat had exploded. It shook the houses and Caused the ground to tremble. At New Coucord, twenty three sepa rate explosions were heard at intervals of from two to ten seconds. A flah was observed, and then from a cloud wan Keen to. descend, black specks, as of a flck of bjfdj. - One . stone has been found which weighs fl 0.1 ponnd j. , It sunk mo ine art'ijMFraW'Hr aiafOjov five inches in diameter iajiia course.

Not bearing from him, after aHipse of two years she procured 'a divorce, on the ground of desertion.

The happy parties pro ceeded to a well known clergyman, werere-uni-tel. and are now enjoying the sweets of. a second honey-moon. Westward Emigration.-The East is still moving West, and the emigration from the Old World swells the tide with every arrival. At the last aocounts seven thousand Germans wtre'wsiting at Bremenhaven for an opportunity to sail for tbe United States.

SlaUrma. . JJolrtioil IfoniiestrinL Platform Adopted by the National Republican Convention. Jtesolced, That we, the delegated representatives of the Republican Electors of the United States in convention assembled, in the discbarge of the duty we owe to our constituents and our country, unite in the following declarations : 1st. That the history of the nation during the last four years, has fully established the propriety and necessity of the organization and perpet nation of the Republican party, and that tbe causes which called it into existence are perma nent in their nature, and now, more than ever, demand its peaceful and Constitutional triumph. 2d. That the maintenance of the principles promulgated in the Declaration of Indepen dence, and embodied in the Federal Consti- rition, is essential to the preservation: of ocr 'Bepublican institutions, and : that the Federal Constitution, the rights of the States, must and shall be preserved. 3d. That to tbe Union of the States this na- t:on owes its unprecedented increase in populai tion ; its surprising developments of material resources ; its rapid augmentation of wealth ; its happiness at home and its honor abroad ; and we hold in annorrence all schemes tor disunion, come from whatever source they may ; and we congratulate the country that no Repub lican member of Congress has uttered or counte nanced the. threats of disunion; so often made by the Democratic members of Congress without re buke and with applause from their political asso ctates : and we denounce those whose threats of disunion, in case of a popular overthrow of their ascendency, as denying the vital principles of a free government, ana as an avowal of contem plated treason, which it is the imperative duty of an indignant people sternly to rebuke and forever silence. 4th. That the maintenance, inviolate, of the rights of the States, and especially of each State, to order and control its own lomestic institutions according to its own judgment exclusively, is essential to that balance of power on which the perfection and endurance of our political fabric depends; and we denonce the unlawful invasion by armed force of the soil of any State or Ter ritory, no matter under what pretext, as one of the gravest of crimes. 5th. That the present Democratic administra tion bit far ex ceded our worst apprehensions of its measureless subservency to tbe exactions oCa sectional interest, as especially evidenced in its desperate exertions to force the infamous Le-compton Constitution upon the protesting people , of Kansas; in construing the personal relation between master and servant to involve an un qualified property in persons ; in its attempted enforcement every where.on land and sea,through the intervention of Congress aud of the Federal Courts, of the extreme pretensions of a purely . .. ... . locai inceresi ; ana in iu general ana nnvary in abuse of the power entrusted to it by a con- nlmg people. . Ju.tt t - . '4 6th. That the jJjpople justly, view with alarm the reckless extravaaence which pervades everv department of the Federal Government. That a return to-rigid economy and accountabi'Iitv is indispensable to arrest the systematic plunder of the public treasury Dy tayored partizans, while the Foderal metropolissbow that an entire change of administration is imperatively demanded. 7th. That the new dogma tlat the Constitution of its own force carrie slavery into any or all the Territories of the U. S. is a dangerous political heresy, at varyance withe the explicit7 provisions of that instrument itself, with cotemporaneous expositions, and with legislative and judicial precedents, and that it is revolutionary in its tendency, and subversive of the peace and harmony of the country. cUb. That the normal condition of all the territory of the United States is that of freedom; that as our Republican fathers, when they had abolished slavery in all of our national territory, ordained that no person should be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law, it becomes our duty by legislation whenever such legislation is necessary, to maintain this provision of the Constitution against all attempt to violate it ; and we deny the authority of Congress or a Territorial Legislature, or of any inii-viduals, to give legal existence to slavery in anj territory of the United States. " 9th. That we brand the recent re-opening of the African slave trade under the cover of our national flag, aided by perversions of judicial power, as a crime against humanity and a burning shame to our cuutry and age, and we call upon Congress to take prompt and efficient measures for the total and final suppression of that execrable traffic. 10th. That in the recent vetoes by their Federal Governors, ol the acts of the legislatures of Kansas , and Nebraska prohibiting slavery in those territories, we find a practical illustaation of the boasted Democratic principles, ofnon-intervention and popular sovereignty, embodied io the Kansas Kebraska Bill, and a de-ronstration of the deception and fraud involved therein, 11th. That Kansas should of right be immediately admitted as a State under the constitution recently formed and adopted by her people, and accepted by the House of Representatives. 'r 12th. That while providing revenue for the general Government by duties upon imports, sound policy requires such an adjustment of these imposts as to encourage the development of the industrial interests of the whole country, and we commend that policy of national exchange which secures to the working-men liberal wages, to agriculture remunerating prices, to mechanics and manufacturers an adequate reward for their skill, labor and enterprise, and to the nation commercial prosperity and independence. 13th. That we protest against any sale or alienation to others of the public lands held by actual settlers, and against any view of tbe free homestead policy, which regards the settlers as paupers or supplicants for public bounty; and we demand tbe passage, by Congress, of the complete and satisfactory homestead measure, which has already passed the House. 1 4th. That the National Republican Party is opposed to any change in oar naturalization laws or any State legislation by which the rigte of citizenship hi'berto accorded to emigrants from for ! eign lands shall be abridged or impaired, and in favor of giving a full and efficient protection to the rights of all classes of citizens,' whether na tive or naturalized, both at home and abroad.-; 15th. That appropriations by Congress for river and harbor improvements of a national character, required for the accommodation and security of an existing commerce, are authorized by the Constation and justified by the obligation of tbe Government to protect the lives and- property of its citizens. .s . ( . , ; ' . 16th, That a railroad to the Pacific ocean ia imperatively demanded by the interests of 'tbe whole country ; that the Federal Government ought to reader immediate and efScient aid in its construction, and that preliminary thereto a daily overland mail should , be prompUv estat lUhed.'. , f ' T - 17tb. Finally having thna set" forth our dit-.tinctive principles and'viewa, we invite the cooperation of all citizens,, however differing on other questions, who substantially agree with as, la their afSnnance and support.

On Suuia)sTi'igki she iirjse froro bed, leaving her husband asleep, and fled witli the African. Strangely enough, they did. not leave the county, cr the town even, only going some five miles from the woman's late home. There they sought shelter at the bouse of ions friends of hers, and there they were at last ac counts. The woman left her young child with its father. . There ia talk of riding the neero on a rail, and-great excitement prevails. The woman as-sumes a bold face, and says she has a perfect right to run away with a negro if she wants to,, no matter if he be asblack as the Ace of Spades. An abolition Bentimeot and an abolition lit' erature has prevailed in tbe farmer's house for years. This elopement is the legitimate result. That Barrel of Strychnine Whiskey.-Because we recommend the Abolitionists l& put up a barrel of whiskey on top of their rail, for the reason that Mr." Lincoln bragged of working in a distillery, in Order to give spirit to the campaign, the Herald says we "must think that the Democratic party is coming into the Repub lican wigwam." We think no such thing. The Democracy never raised a barrel of intoxica ting drink as an emblem, nor ever sung such songs as the following, which ,was one of the songs of 1840:' "Cold water will do for therLocoa, Ot a. weak vinegar stew; Bat give ns bard cider or whiky, ; Who vote for old Tippccanoo!" and we trust they never will. Does the Herald man recollect that song? With a little amendment, it might be .made to serve as good a turn in 18GQ as in 1840. Nat. Democrat. What Lincoln Said ia 18,53, and 1817. In a speech delivered by him in July, 1858, at Springfield, Illinois, Mr. Lincoln taunted Judge Douglas with having Presidential aspirations, and jn that connection, in relation; to him self, said : ': " ' " -- --- "" ' " On the contrary nobody ever expected me tV be President. In my poor, lean, lank face nobody has ever seen that any cabbages were sprouting out. ' What was then true is no doubt still true; nobody at this time expects him to be President. But Abraham had thought about it, and had connected his own name with it maay years before that, for in a speech which be made when in Congress, the New York Herald, good Republican authority, says, he said: "If I should ever conclude to doff whatever there is of black cockade federalism about me. and, thereupon, they should take me np as their candidate tor tbe presidency, I protest they shall not make fun of me." Thus it seems he had thought of the thing, and more to the point he confessed that he was tinged with old black-cockade federalism. It is no wonder that he voted against the bounty land warrants to the Mexican soldiers, and also voted that the war was unjust and wrong. Stand front Under. The friends of Seward ia New York, a powerful majority of the Abolition pirtr, are already manifesting symptom of a grand bolt. The Tribune, adti-Seward organ, thus sneeringly announces the fact and threatens its authors. "We hear that some prominent members of the Albany lobby, who have hitherto professed to De uepublicaas, express their determination to bolt the Chicago nominations. This is good news. If a few members of th Logi-iUtare of the same stripe would join them, it would be a great help to the ticket." Here is a pretty muss to te?m the eaD:ri with. The Republican party carries in its own bosom the seeds of its dissolution. Iw member return from the grand powwow in the Wigwara at Chicago to commence a free fight aooi; themselves at home. The rottori hulk of Aboli tionism exhibits signs of going to pieces befor the first gun of the campaign baa been fired. When will the Ohio XUpnhlioans be Cir- enmcised? , There seems to be some anxiety to know when that part of the Covenant with "Old Abe," which was revealed to Mr. Paine, of Cnynhora. relating to circumcision,: will be literally fulfilled. The 13th of June, at the State Convention nf the party, has been thought by some, to be an appropriate time, whereas it is believed that Gov." Chase will favor the 1 3th of Joly, that bein? the anniversary of the Ordinacee of 1787. What ever time may be agreed upon f-r this solama ceremony, will, we suppose, be dulr annootcd in the Central Organ, and it seems to bf con ceded on all bands that the hardworkin?
