Fatal AGrnY.

IA fatal renoounter took place ii this city

both of ibis place, which resulted In the
death Of the latter, having been ehot ihrough

lis painful to us % Be obliged to speak
LII Of The dead, but justice to The living and
ruth, requires thai ws'shonld do so now.
The deceased having. a the lime Of the
ARRAY, and previously, acted ii the most
outrageous manner towards Mr.. O.. setting
all decency and public decorum al defiance
On the night previous he broke open Mr..
Quackenboss' bedroom at The dead hour Of
night armed with a ,tnbble-baTTel gun, but
not finding Mr.. Quackenboss at home (he
having spent the night in the room Of sick
friend who required watchihg) committed
sundry outrages upon his furniture, throw
ing hiswearing apparel into the street. In
the morning Mr.. QuackenbOss meeting him
lHuntpr) in the street, desired to know If
he EEIhnter) had broken open his Office the
previous night, to which Hunter refused TO
answer, but commenced trade Of abuse
Of the most insulting and indecent charac-
ter which brought on the ARRAY, they 1--WE
believed exchanged shots, thatOf Mr.. Quack-
enbbss taking effect as above stated.
Mr.. Quackenboss Immediately surrender
ed himself into the hands Of the law and
demanded an examination Of the facts, which
was had, and which resulted in the unanim-
Gus acquiial Of Mr.. Q. BY the magistrates
composing the court indeed, the whole com
munity concur in the decision of the court;
an admitting that Hunter richly deserved
the fate his folly and wickedness brought
upon himself.

ia 1920, Mr.. Van Burensvoted that Con
gress had the constitutional power % abol-
ish slavery ii The Territories, and instructed
the New York Senators in Congress tovote
against the admission Of Missouri.
s.In 1886. he says that Congress has the
constitutional power to abolish slavery ID
the District Of Columbia.
sIn 1921 he voted to give free blacks
Tie right ofsuffage.
III 1922, he voted III favor Of the restric.
ting the introduction Of slaves into FIo.ida.i
But lest some of our readers should re-
gard this authority as somewhat apocryphal
we snbioin an extract from Mr.. VAN Bun.

lima, in answer to the query =: ado You 81 ID
you not beliye that Congress has The consti
tutional power TO interfere with or abolisl
slavery in The District Of Columbian Af
Ter expressing himself strongly against ths
PRoPRITTY of Congress exercising the pow
er; and bis regret innot being able tossaiis
fy himself that Congress did not possess th,
power, he goes on to say
81 would not, from the lights now befor,
me, feel safe in declaring that Congress doe
NOT possess the power ofinterfering with d
abolishing slavery in the District Of Colum
bia.' 2
If we are 10 understand any thing fror
this, the fact IS clear that Mr. VAN BURE
believes Congress has the power TO abo!is
slavery in the District of Columbia. Cor
trast his position with that Of Genesal Han
RIsoN, who two years after iha formers ei
forts to prevent the admission of Missouri a
slave State, was beaten for Congress o
account of the stand he had taken IN fave
Of southern rights. Contrast the position
of the two men not for the purpose Of afFiz
ing odium 10 either-but fairly, candidly
and impartially, as lover Of truth, and the
say, reader, IS not Mr.. Van Buren,, as CON

The above is from late number Of the

How much truth. fairness and candor is

ask, whether the above is ii any degree the
truth.
Has or has not the present Van Buren,

the whole subject Of banks, banking and
currency, So far as the General Government
bad any thing To DO with this subject This
will not for moment be questioned. Now,
we defy the Mississippian or any Van Buren,
man p point to single instance where a
State Legislature has chartered asingle bank

the question, the wings for and the demo-
Gratis against il. Wedc not believe there Is
such an Instance to be found in the whole
