Miscellany.A Chapter in Democracy by One

Who Knows.

the labors of John V. Forney, the editorof the Puiladephia Prett. How he hasCreated Mr. Forney is a private matter be-

tween those two gentlemen, bat how Mr.

Bucnstmiaa has played "fast and loose,"in the Lecotnptoa business is a matterwhich concerns the whole country. Mr.(Forney than whom no man ever wasmore intimate with another than ho withSir. Bnehanan, socially and poliliticallylias, in a speech lately made in Weslches-ie- t

County, N. Y., given the public and therprivnte course of Mr. Buchanan on this sub-

ject.MR. PORNEY'S SOCIAL AND POLITICAL

WITH MR. BUCHANAN.

Mr. Forney said. I must be a little per-

sonal, fellow-citizen- because appearing be-

fore jou as I do, I am impelled, if not"compelled, to revert to a portion of the po-

litical history in which I have borne aprominent part. My relalious to the pres-

ent Executive of the United Stales began

with my early boyhood. From a time

long before I became a voter, when I was

his intimate confident friend in early youth,down to a period one year ago, 1 sustain'd towards Mr. Buchanan, relations not

only of intimacy, but of more than intitnacy. Had he been my father, if his blood

ran mv veins, I could not have been

more devotedly attached to him. I be-

lieve that sentiment of affection was recip

rocated. We had tried, in our good old

State of Pennsylvania, for many years, tolect this gentleman to the Presidency.

It fell to my lot, born in the county inrhich he crew to manhood, in the county

where he read law, in the county where heetiil has his residence, and where be sayslie expects to die, knowing him thus well,it fell to my lot to do a (treat deal of bardwork incident to the fulfillment of the ns--pirations of the man himself and the wishes of bis friend. In 1644 we went to thecity of Baltimore, instructed to go for adistinguished citizen of your State, Mr.Van Buren. But owing to the publica

tion of the celebrated Texas letter, the Democrat of Penn., concldaeded that VanBuren had forfeited the confidence of the Democratic nnrtv. And that it became us topresent our own favorite citizen for thathigh office. We did to, and we failed.But still in 1848 we upon thescene with our fellow-citize- ana mere wefriends of Mr. Tan Buren in this State re-

paid Us in kind for the good turn we hadserved them four years before. (Laughter.)Undaunted, we continued to organize, andin 1862 we reappeared upon the samescene with our favorite and friend, andvera again defeated. That seemed to be

the ast chance, the last shot If I may be

permitted to "use the eJrJresskJn in thelocker. But Mr. Buchanan was appointedby President I ierce, in 1853, to fill thehigh and important mission of Minister toEngland; and while Uiere was removeafrom the scenes of domestic politics 'kfad

quietly and nnobservantly watched theprogress of events at home pending andsucceedingtoe repeal ot tue Missouri iompromise line.

MR. BUCHANAN FOR AND AGAINST THEMISSOURI COMPROMISE.

Mr. Buchanan had been known for hisattachment to that line. In 1839, while astudent at law, Mr. Buchanan had attendeda meeting at - Lancaster, Penn:, in whichhe de ounced it. 'But subsequently, in1847, he came out in his celebrated Buckscounty letter, and stated that the only wayto settle the slavery question Was 'to runthat line to the Pac fic, so as to secure tothe North and the South the benefit nponeach side of it, as proposed by its originalfriends. . Therefore it was tbat while at aa foreign court, absent from his own conn-tr-y,

his name became peculiarly the nameto which the American people looked asthe name which would lead the Democratic patty to victory. Again bis Democraticfriends of Pennsylvania moved forward.We saw the time had come when our candidate and champion could be presentedto the people. We repaired to Cincinnati,all home rivalry bad been extinguished.The bitterness growing out of the repeal ofthe Missouri line, and the passnge of theKansas Nebraska bill had removed fromthe field all other candidates so we thought.The Caw men atid the Dallas men inPennsylvania made common cause to prvsent this gentleman for nomination. W benwe reached Cincinnati the first tiling thatappeared was this: The South, the extremeSouth, had resolved upon Mr. Buchanan'sannihilation. Ther saw in him a type ofmoderate conservative sentiment. I Leysaw in him, for the first time, a public manwho, having been absent from the connect-ed and disconnected from the existing rivalries of the day, would be compelledfrom his position to do justice to the North-ern feeling and to extinguish sectionalism.They did not trust him upon the issues ofthe day. lie was not a good euough tvan- -

man for them, and theyfought us, as the records sh6fc", duringfive long dhys, with a bitterness and animosity such as political conventions canhardly rival. Ho was the only rmn toprevent the election of a Republican. Hewas the only man who could carry Penn-

sylvania, and upon the contest in tha'lState did the entire tide of battle turn.From yonr own State a singular disposi-

tion was manifested in certain quarters; in

Ithoso qnarters where now this disease ofLiecomptomsin rages most mnousiy. r romthose quarters Mr. Buchanan received noth-

ing but coldness and contempt. But weTiomfftnted him. We returned to Pennsylvania after that time, jdyous in havingachieved our long desired wishes'? andwhen we returned there we tame with thefill imdx!!ent fiorte ittat there wouldbe no 'difficulty in electing a man whosenature was believed to De conservative',whose charrtcteT was believed to be SO

prudent, and whose entire record was sonational and consrtittfional.

WHAT BUCHANAN SAID IN HIS OWN PARLOR.

LOR.

At tliat limp. T Wlieve the Republicans

themselves abandoned the campaign theylooked to his nomination as their death-blow. Thev looked round in vain for acandidate, but found none. But there is

no necessity for spinning out these detailsin unnecessary leneth. But later, however

was brought on a serious of excitementssuch as, I believe, were never before witr

nessed in our country. By the middle ofAugust the campaign became more thandoubtful! Because the opinion of theNorth had been stirred to its deepestdepths, by the excesses of the Pro-Slave-ry

minority, backed by the Federalpower in the Territory oi nansas. xuawas the only question. It was not theOstend Conference. It was not the Pa-ei- fi

Railmad. It was nothing but thesingle issue, shall the people of Kansas be

MR. BUCHANAN PLEDGED TO DIE BY

SOVEREIGNTY.

We went rota the canvass; It fell to mylot to be at the bead of tbe State

Committee of Pennsylvania. All

mv affectio.hs 'were in that State; 'hi I the'emotions df'ro'y nature, physical and men-

tal, were enlisted on the side of the candi-

date she had presented. His whole career,his character, my personal attachment,

'a'titl fhe sincere devotion I felt fur him, bisfamily, hi3 cause, and all about hint, mademe so anxious for him to succeed, that I in-

dulge in no vain expression of speech whenI say to you that I would have forfeitedmy life for him. My devotion for himknew no bounds. Day and night, nightand day, I toiled in that compaign. Andthere are those here y from my ownState who will bear witness to the factwhen I say that all my own resources, allmy fortune, my every exertior, every aidthat could be enlisted, was enlisted to pro-duce thermal result. And above all othersin that campaign was the great principleof popular sovereignty. Applnuse.lThStVfis the standard that rrfhrshsledttie way. That was the shibboleth thatwas the war cry. From Lake Erie to theDelaware River from rittsbttrgh to Phil-adelphia in every Village and town in theState everywhere that I could induce apen to write or :h lo'hgho to speak, thatwas me theme npon wtucn those pens.wrote and those tongues spoke. Wby,gentlemen, Mr. Buchanau had no confi-dence or reserve npon this subject. Hewas public, ho was open, he was unreserv-ed in his declarations to everybody. Hesent to the traduced John Hickman in anadjoining county, he told biin through hisfriends and agents fcYeti, Mr. Hickman,occupy a peculiar relation; yott voted forthe Topeka Constitution" 'you denouncedtho Kansas-Nebrask- a bill"; you were op-

posed to tbe repeal df 'file Missouri Com-

promise line'; the democratic party of yourdistrict have 'hohiriiited-ydu- j the Repub-licans like you; they believe in you. NowI want you to take the slump and go before your people, and pledge me, James'Buchanan, that I intend standing by, andif "necessary dying by the principle of Popular tsovereignty. or, myself, if I coulddescend to the baseness of publishing private letters, I might fill a volume with similar pledges from similar authoVrty.

HOW PENNSYLVANIA WAS CARRIED.

Why, gentlemen, when the distinguished Secretary of Slate, Mr. Cobb whofrom being a superfine Union man, hasbeen converted into a fire-eate- r, equal xo,Mr. Chaubert himself when Mr. Co'ttbcame into Pennsylvania, and traversed ourState from end to end, and from Countyto County, talking to delighted audiencesall the time, what was the burden of histheme! Why Popular Sovereignty. Iwould take the Army and the Navy, Iwould surround the Te'rVftcfcy, tfot whatthe people of Kansas should vote, and bytheir vole the destinies of the future Stateshould be decided. Whenever a South-

ern orator crtTfle into Pennsylvania andHed 'tpon me, I said to hitn : "Now, Sir,

I have but one thing to say to yon We

have bftt'ft single tiling before ihe people';every day is making the campaign moreand more doubtful; everyday is makingthe popular feeling more and more intense;Mr. Buchanan niros'eff feels that everythingdepends upon tbe prudeWc, the sagacity,and the spirit of conciliation by which thiscampaign is conducted, and for God's saketake care what you say about Kansas;leave yoUr violent Southern feedings athome; you must not come here to threaten;you Governor Johnston, and you Mr. Scottof Richmond, and you Mr. Extra BillySmith, and yda Mr. Secretary Floyd, nilof you, mast remember thnt if you losethis battle here, you lose it altogether;it will be your loss, and therefore you mustallow us to manage it in our own way.And they did accede to that policy, with-

out any hesitation, and gladly. There wasno deception in that fight, at least so faras I was concerned. I sowed the Statewith private letters and private pledges np-

on this question. There is not a Countyin Pennsylvania in which my lettres maynot be found, almost by hundreds, pledg-

ing Mr. Buchanan, in his name, and byhis authority, to the full, complete andpractical recognition of tho rights of thopeople of Kansas to decide upon their ownaffairs. Applause.

MR. BUCHANAN'S INAUGURAL.

Gentlemen, he was elected. He formedhis Cabinet. He issued his Inaugural s.

And here, at this point, let me say,that the public confidence inspired by hisnomination in the Democratic Party, andthe apprehension of his election inspired inthe Republican ranks, that public confidence

in the man was renewed and revived bythe publication of his Inaugural Address.Tbe Republicans, many of them who hadvoted for John C. Fremont, said, "We be-

lieve in Mr. Buchanan; if be stands by thedoctrines of this Inaugural Address, wewill stand by him." Now, had he done

so, the Republican and the American parties, in my opinion, would nave Deen ex-

tinguished; we should have been one

great, happy national family. After allwnat tbe great mass ot tne people in miscountry desire is a good Government.Every man m this country is not an omceseeker. Nine out of ten are disinterestedin their relations to this Government, nudMr. Buchanan would have suited thecoun-tr- y

as well us atiy btller roan if he had butfulfilled his pledges; and; therefore, it was;that when his innllgUrnl address was published, they said one to the other We believe in Mr. Buehitnan we are sorry thatwe have not voted for biro ; but we arewilling to trtlst liirh and stand by him tothe end. Mr. Buchanan had before him afuture which Washington, if he had beenliving, might have envied a future whichif he had walked resolutely in the path heLid marked out-t- he path illuminated bybis resolutions and pledges would naveallowed him to go down to the grave withthe acclamation of the people. Posteritywould bave pointed to his administration

as a model and example to all generations;Pennsylvania would have bad no cause tohave been ashamed of her once favorite

son. No, my but bedid not ston here. As if for the purposeof acerfnmlatinir pledge upon" pledge, aa iffor tbe purpose of piling up a pyramid ofpromises upon this question, what did he

do next!WHAT BUCHANAN AND HIS CABINET SAID

TO WALKER.

He looked around to see whom he shouldgot to go to Kansas for the purpose of set-

tling tbe vexed question which has render-

ed Kansas what it has been graphicallytermed, "the graveyard of Governors."He sought for no inferior man ; he wouldnot bete'rnpted to lake 1th drQltfkry man.He selected a gentleman, a statesman,whb lihd been presented by a large portionof the leading and prominent rh?h of theSouth for a seat in the Cabinet, who hadfor years represented his State in tbe coun-cils of the nation. He selected Robert J.Walker. And when he 'called npon Mr.Walker, and asked him to proceed to theTerritory, Mr. Walker said to ljim, "Why,Mr. Buchanan, that'wobld'finish me'fdrever,

it Has rtmed every tfltra "thnt has gonethere- -, iltnfl Vhin me. I have reachedthat time of life when I cannot afford torisk all my prospects, ami probably thepeace and my family." Andhe said further, 'as ifgifted with a knowl-

edge of the future, '! ctfhbot run the risk

of being most-probabl- betrayed andby the Administration ;fliht

me." 'Mr. Buch'h'fia'a said 16 him,"Mr. Walker, if you . will go there, yonwill settle this question in a few weeksv-Eve- ry

thing is ready"; here are your in-

structions. I pledge you my word thateverything you desire you shall have."Mr. Walker, as if inspired by a sublimesuspicion, siti(l, "Mr. Buchanan, I will not

go to 'Kansas until you allow mo to meetyour cabinet face "to face, and ascertain

from that Cabinet in person whether theywill agree that I shall go there and, .'Carry

out the pledges of the Campaign of 1856."Accordingly a meeting of the cabinet ofMr. Buchanan was called.. At the meet-

ing every ffirim'ber of lhe"CaoHiet was pres-

ent. Mr. Buchauan and Mr. Walker werepresent, Mr. Buchanan in tbe Chair. Gov.

Walker said, "I have desire'd this meetingbeca'ose I have determined not to go toKansas unless I have full instructions tocarry out those pledges and those princi-

ples; if there is any opposing voice I willnot go"; I 'do not desire to go; it is by nomeans an enviable position ; but if I havethe permission and consent of you gentle-men, for 'this I nave aske'3, I will go."The Cabinet was polled; but one memberof the Cabinet objected to the programmelaid down by Gov. Walker. I need notmention his ime. Gov. Walker said,"That settles the question, gentlemen; Ido not wish to go; a single negative issufficient, and I will retire from the field."But they teok that member of the Cabinetinto an adjoining room, and there they con-

vinced him that Gov. Walker was right.Thev returned and crave Walker his instructions. He went to Kansas with bisinstructions in his pocket, and accompani-ed by a man known to tbe country, Mr.

'Stanton,wbo went out with similar pledges.

DARK AND DAMNING DEED OF LECOMPTON.

Now, gentlemen, this is the plahi state-ment of the facts. Without going intodetails, I will 'come down to my own partin this campaign. My ambition was to as-

sist and build up My good old State, liDUsh forward her srreat fnteVes'ts, to assistin Ac 'JeVelopVnent of her industry, to dothat which we mlist all do-a- t Tftst ferineolder I grow tfie more certainly I come tothnt conclusion to try to be strong atyourown home and build yourselves ftp Hi yourown cOmmtinities and your own States, andwhen Von do th'fct, yofi will be respectedand strong at the seat of the Federal. Gov-

ernment. Applause and cheers. There-

fore ft was that in 1857 I started the news-

paper which now bears my name at itsmast-hea- d. And I did 'this for the purposeof advoca'tSng Mr. Buchanan's policy thro'-ou- t.

I had had as I have said, abundantpledges as X6 bis 'course upon this questionof Kansas, but before I published thnt paper, suspecting that probably somethingwould lake place, l conciuaea to inte careto have myself strengthened. And I wroteto most of his cabinet and told them uponwhat grounds I intended to stand in regardto this question of Kansas. They were sogood as to send me enough written testimony to strongmen me m me positionhad taken. 1 went on with Walker andStanton. When the Oxford and McGeefrauds took place when there was a uni- -

ersal burst of indignation throughout tuecountry when the whole Democratic pressapplauded Walker for rejecting these fraudulent rot inns, suddenly there was a silenceand a pall over the columns of the Wash-

ington Union. Nothing was said uponthe subject of the Oxford and McGee frauds ;

no word was given in support of Walkerand Stanton. I suppose that some maligninfluence had for a moment surrounded thatJournal that it had bad an attack of some

peculiar insanity, which had really becomechronic with it, and I allowed it to pass by.But when the dark and damning deed atLecompton was perpetrated, then I sawfor the first time, that these gallant men,Walker and Stanton, these men who stoodwith me I saw that I and the whole De-

mocratic press of tho country had been car-

ried along with the Administration, andwere called iipdh to desert our pledges andbetray our own manhood. When the cupwas presented to my lips, I refUs&l it,Continued applause and cheers. Admiri-istRUidH- s

may chancre: Presidents may

change: but I bad beon too fully and too

personally committed npon this subject togo back to Pennsylvania ana turu myupon the pledges which I had both rpokeh

and written:WELL! CANNOT YOU CHANGE, TOO?

But I did not for a moment believe thatthe administration, though concluding toabandou the position upon which it had

had resolved to (hake

that a lest. I went to Washington. WhenI trot there I said to mv old friend, Mr.

Buchanan, "for the first time in our fives

we are at variance: having followed yourlead thus far, I now find myself deserted.

"Well," said he, 'cannot you change, tooPLaughter. "If I can afford to change,"

said he, "why cannot vou" afford to change,

tooT B newed laughter. "If you, Doug-

las and Walker will unite in support of mynotiev. voif Will not hear a whimper of this

thing: it will pass by as a summer breeze."

I said to him, we differ: very well: an Ad-

ministration surrounded by office seekers,living all the time in an atmosphere of flat-

tery, followed by thousands of men whoexpect office, and who say to you, you are

right, Mr. Buchanan, we are down uponour bellies in the dust, please to walk overus and trample upon us, and wo will be

content and hnppyi you may believe thatyour policy is right. But 1 tell yon, Mr.Buchanan, that there is a still small voicein the hearts of the people, that instinctive-

ly rejects and abhors fraud and this isfraud and dishonor. I ilo not claim to be

more honest than other men : I have, asall politicians have ddne many thingswhichttJay hot "square exactly with tho rulesof religion and right, and which I regrethaving done; but this thing I will not do.Renewed applause. 1 have reached the

years of metn'hood, and I cannot go back toVe'tibsylvania and eat my own words, andbecome the slave of power. But then, Mr.Buchanan, you must tolerate these differ-

ences of opinion. Gen. Jackson tolerateddifferences of opinion among his friends;Col. Polk tolerated differences of opinion's'thong his friends, as you are aware, for youdiffered with hitn upon the subject of thetariff, and yet you remained in his cabinet;Mr. Pierce tolerated differences of opinion.And here you are; the men who carried

you into the place you now occupy having

refused your favors,nnd having trampledthe patronage which has been tenderedthem under foot, because they desired toserve independently, here they are, asking

to be tolerated in tbe indulgence of anhonest opinion. Applause.

I INTEND MAKING MY KANSAS ATEST.

The reply to that was Sir, I intend ma-

king my Kansas policy a party test. Well,

Sir. said I, I regret it; but if you make ita test with your officers we will make it atest at the ballot-bo- Renewed ApplauseRepeated efforts were made to heal the dif-

ference. But it seems to me that when

the Presidency is conferred upon a poormortal, it transforms him into a god, iu his

own estimation, or into a lunatic. Laugh-ter and continued Applause. Nobody is

permitted to approach power and tell thetruth. Power never hears the thunderingvoice of the people, sitting as it does, in itseasy chairs, and between its marble walls.An. iu. dependent man, with a voice loujand bold whp goes up to tell the truth, iswaived off from the Presidential presenceas a rude intruder. As I said before, re-

peated efforts were made in'vain. The con-

ferring of the Presidential patronage with

its vast millions, more than the great mon-

arch of Great Britain herself eujoys, andnearly as much as the French Monarch

wields, made Mr. tsuconnan oeneve mat newould make this test successful. How was

it made! Oh, genWeWu, the chapterwhich shall tell the manner in which thisAdministration has used its patronage will

be a black one. And when our children,and our children's children come to read

they will ftot believe that any Americancitizen, elevated to the Presidential chair,in the face of such a people, covered withHft nrtndr of pledges, should have gone into

that chair, should bave bis army and tneTreasury, your raony and mine, yonr offices

and mine, for the purpose of punishing agallant band of men for standing honestlyby the plain God's truth. (Cheers and ap-

plause.) I would that when the historiancomes to write tbat chapter in the historyof this country and Government, he shouldnot feel compelled to write that that Presi-

dent was born in Pennsylvania. No, gentle-

man there has not been an element, a singlecircumstance,lacking to relievethis unredeemed infamy ; no, not one. They have goneon, step by step, with the remorseless treadof fate and destiny, trying to crush outhebreath of the gallant spirits who have stoodforth, asking nothing bnl to be permittedto do right. Look at tbe spectacle in Illi-

nois at this moment. Democrats, if thereare any here, and I trust there are many,you who take the regular organizations,you who swallow this miserable dose ofLecomptonism, becnuse the regular organi-

zation of the State supports it, because theparty indorses it, look at Illinois, and blushwith very shame at the spectacle there ex-

hibited to the world. There is a regular or-

ganization for you, and how does the Ad-

ministration treat it? They treat it withcontemrrtand scorn: the cnllnnt Douglasstanding at the head of the column. Ifyou open the pages of the WashingtonUnion of read what it says of Ste-

phen A . Douglas. You would supposefrom what you would Ire'ad there, that he

was sowing pestilence and death through-

out Northwest. Aye, and he is, too tofalse doctrines and to false men. Ap-

plause and cheers.

JAMES BUCHANAN TYLERIZED.

Look at the South, in whose name thisdeed, Lecomptonism, has been perpetrated.After its representatives in the Senate andthe House have assisted in bounding down

Stephen A. Douglas and David C. Brod-erick.a-

their gallant com-palrio- ts in theHouse, the South begin to say as theysee the Administration hell-houn- pursu-

ing and attack Douglas and his friends in

Illiuois: "This i too much. We arewilling to accept Lecompton as a gildedpoison which has been extended to' us, iind

which is to help us, though the only thingit has done has been to Conitilit qjir repre-

sentatives tp a gross wrong toward tbefiorth, biit we cannot bear this persecution."Read the letter published the other day inNew York pnpors from' Beverly Johnson,of Maryland. Read the statement of Alexander H. Steven? and Henry A. . Wise.They are clamorous against these attackson Mr. Douglas. Public men in the coun-

try forget jti their truckling to the Souththat Southern people, aro American peopleas we are. They have their slavery, Theybave their peculiar institutions. But theyreject a wrong they reject an , infamythey reject unfairness just as really as wedo. They wilT'uot submit to the tyrannyof the Administration upon Mr. Douglas.And so it will be when the Administrationbegins by courting the South by declar-ing that the o'niv thin? the President shoulddo is to yield to the South, that the Ad--

minisUiatioh will end by the South turningupon it. What then! It will be Tylerized.(Labghter.) The Administration of JamesBuchanan Tylerized supported by a setof office-holde- and expectants only, withall the great parties, standing from it 'andshunning it like a contagion !

"Imperial Caesar, dead and gone to clay.Must a hole to the wind

We have asserted that Mr Cox and hisin their support of that English

Sad Railroad Accident.The Cincinnati Gazette gives the follow-

ing particulars of the distressing accidentwhich occured on the Cincinnati and Day-

ton Road near Cumminsville, on the 7th :

Mr. Benj. F. Fessenden, a fanner livingon the Ml. Pleasant road, near PleasantRidge,'about four miles from Hamilton,and some fourteen miles from this city, wason his way to town in a one-hor- wagondrawn by a mule, accompanied by his wifeand two nieces, Miss Fessenden and MissBun Jy, the latter the daughter of Jos Bun-d- y,

of Middlelown, Conn., who was on avisit to her uncle.

' At the point where theaccidsnt occured,

at the crossing near Jonathan Stablcr's thewaron road runs across the track and asthe7 o'clock train out of this city rounded

a curve, the Engineer, Seth Magown, ob-

served the wagon and blowed the whistle.

The mule, instead of being kept off thetrack, started directly across and stopped,and all efforts on the part of Mr. Fessendeu,failed to start him. Although the breakshad been promptly applied, the enginestruck the vehicle just forward of the dash-

board, and completely separted the wagonfrom the mule. The former was carried

along the track on tho cow-catch- for ahundred yards or more, until the train wasstopped, aud Mrs. Fressenden was thrown

npon the locomotive. She was removed

at once to a house near by, but expired in

a few minnter. As her person was verylittle bruised, it is supposed that the firstshock caused her death.

Mr. Fessenden ami bis nieces werethrown upon one side of the track with

great force. Mr. F. had the bones of one

of bis ankles crushed, and was severely in-

jured in the head. At a late hour lastni'ht ho lay in a very critical Condition, andhis recovery was extremely doubtful, if notan utter iniDossibilitv. He still remainsiu a room in the Depot, surrounded withtho best medical attendance ' the city iffords.

Miss Fessenden and Miss Bundy wereseVeVely cut on the bead, and their per-

sons badly brUised. Although seriously

injured, it is hoped that both will recover.

They are now at the residence of Mr. Hed-

ges; an oiriployete of the Rnilrdad Cdrrlpany,add are well enre'd for.

,The Constitution, and Breckinridge.But the blank space thus left told a tale

.whjeb they wished to conceal, and againthe flag was lowered and mutilated; andwhen it once more appeared over the street,the motto was in this shape.

'The Constitution, and.The blank spaces made the motto ap--'
