The time is rapidly approaching when the people
of these States will again be called upon to decide
who shall be their President for the term of four
years, commencing on the 4th of March, 1887
That our present illustrious Chief Magistrate will
be glad to be released from the arduous duties of
his station and be permitted retire to the quiet
joyment of private life full ofhonors and accompan-
led by the blessings of a grateful nation in its full
tide of prosperity, We have doubt and we do
not believe that any earthly consideration but his
unbounded patriotism and dsinterested devotion to
the welfare of his country, could induce him even
now to undergo the cares and fatgucs of office un-
I'll his present term expires That he, who has ev-
er discovered strong reluctance to official station
unless called by his country to her service should
be anxious or even willing to be candidate for
third term, is in the highest degree improbable not
absurd. Ii then becomes the duty of the people
OF this country seasonably TO be prepared with a
proper person for his successor. Among the dis
nguishcd names already presented their notice. it
is OF paramount importance that such selection
should be made as will be likely to promote those
sound and wholesome doctrines which have been
from time to time promulgated by our present Ex-
lecuti'e. Where is the man who will be best able
and most likely TO adopt this coursel Where is the
man who can most eflectualy secure to the grea,

pledged to support those views aud principles of ma

ATTEMPT TO MURDER II ii f
RESIDENT!!!

An attempt has been made by fanatical wretch
by the name of Lawrence to assassinate the Pres-
dent of the United States; from which attempt the
President has escaped as by divine interposition.
Those editors who justified the outrage committed
upon the President by the villanous Randolph and
defended the conduct of the perpetrators of the out
rage upon the rigate Constitution, thereby instiga-
ling the vulgar to deeds of guilt and gore-who up
held and vindicated the conduct of their brethren
at Philadelphia in November last, when the friends
of the Administration had literally to wade through
the blood of their slaughtered friends to reach the
ballot box-those Bank-bribed editors who have
done all this and even more, who have called mplor
ingly for a modern Brutus to strike the dag
ger to the heart of our venerable President, ough
to be held responsible for this atrocious act of mat
man.

MURDER OF THE MIssIoNARIEs.-The Boston Re-
corder contains all the particulars of the murder of
Messrs. Lyma ond Munson the missionaries to
India that will probably ever be obtained. These
are derived from 81 Jan, faithful attendant who
accomaniedp them from Batavia, and who narrowly
escaped being massacred himself
The Missionaries, and their attendants who trav-
elled on foot through a difficult route, on the 18th
June, the fourth day their journey, came suddenly
upon a long fort, occupied by number of men arm
ed with muskets, spears, etc. They had advanced
within about hundred yards of the fort. On spy
ing the fort and men, the interpreter offered 90 and
parley with them. But sooner had he arrived at
the fort, than they found about 200 armed natives
coming upon them from side and from the rear.
Tho men who carried the baggage Immediately threw
down their burdens, and fled on the other side The
interpreter also disappeared. The Battas came on
shouting and brandishng their weapons in a very
alarming manner The two brethern pushed their
weapons aside with ther hands, and enreated them
TO wait little and come to explanation. Mr.. Ly-
then told 81 Jan call the interpreter. 81 Jan
short distance to call him. but not seeing him
he turned round to 60 back to Mr.. Lyman, when he
heard the report of n musket, and saw Mr. Lyman
fall. The Battas shouted, the shout was returned
from the fort, and n rush was made upon Mr. Mum
son, who was Immediately pierced through with {
spear and fell. Another shout followed. The cool
: who had on jacket given him by Mr.. Munson
was the next victim. On seeing the fate OF the tive
missionaries, he attempted to escape, but was pur

Jan ran for his life, secreted himself in thick

A Ride Grdtis-We learn that few days since
while young lady was crossing one of our streets
in the vicinity of the State House, which afford the
boys an opportunity to practice their favorite, but
exceedingly annoying amusement of coasting, she
was struck with sled, which came with prodigious
force tripped up her heels, and laid her fairly on
her back as sailor would say, " fore and aft"
across the sled. The poor boy instead of being
overioyed, was sadly frightened at such an unex
pected accession of freight-but the impetus which
the vehicle had already acquired great, that
he found it impossible to check its speed; he there
fore wisely judged it best to make the most of his
bargain and with admirable presence of mind, steer
ed the sled with great care, avoiding all obstacles
at the same time 5awlipg out with the lungs of Il
Stcntor, g Hold on ma am, hold on-keep your feet
well up, and there is no danger" The double
loaded sled sped with the velocity of an arrow-and
the astonished damsel, who travelled at such
rate before, and probably never will again, even
on railroad in an air balloon, found herself
before she had hardly time to take BREATH or scream
for assistance, safely landed at the bottom of the
hill Mercantile Journal
