GFor the Radical
Mr.. ADAMS: l respectfully ask SINAI

Mr.. ADAMS: l respectfully aska small
space in your columns, with a view to
correct a false impression upon the pub
lie mind, originating from certain re-
marks delivered by me at the Court
House, on the evening of the 18th inst:
at Il Democratic meeting, assembled to
celebrate u recent victory. The Ian
guage to which offence has been taken!
was made with reference to.the charge
that we were indebted to fraud, to for
eign influence, and TO the qledged igno-
rance Of our party for the success which
has attended us. | freely acknowledge
that | denounced in no very mild lam
guage the authors of such insulting i'm
p tations upon the party to which | be-
long. But l deny that l directed one
harsh ePithet to the great mass of the
wing party. l alluded particularly to
ONT prominent editors whose papers
have been teeming within the last few
weeks with charges of this character;
and | appeal for the truth of what l say
to every honorable man who heard ne.
Nothing could possibly have been more
foreign from my purpose than TO have
denounced the whole party, including as
it does many of my warmest personal
friends, and with whom | am constantly
on terms of the most familiar intercourse,
l request the publication of the above
from a sense of justice to myself.
Respectfully,
GEO. w. BUCKNER.

Inc taHilo vault:
"One of the most interesting scenes

with regard 10 the piercing of tho

realized. Mr.. GaZelIa has returned
to France, after having explored the
Islhmus, and ascertaiped that the
point at which the junction between
the two seas vas contemplated, was
not ten metres 80 ieet) above the

Franco-G Grenada Company, but le5
metres 1875 teet;) SO tina. instead of a
mere trench and a canal without a
%sluice, OF, in other words, an artificial
strait, which was deemed practicable
from the survey of the engineers OF
the Company, the canal to be opered
at the point Of junction would require
upwards of 60 sluices. Mr.. Gazella
is a distinguished engineer of the
INNING department, and had been
sent by the French Government tc
explore the Islhmus, and verify the
levels taken by the Surveyors EN-

The PATRON of Aibany.-The
Philadelphia Chronicle says:-lt is
stated that Mr.. Van Rensselaer,, the
owner of the manor near Albany, is
about to take up his residence at Bris.
tol. Bucks county, in this state, to
enable him to commence a suit in
the United States Supreme Court a
gainst the State OF New York for
damages, for the encouragement of
the law in the collection Of rents due
BY his tenants. A citizen cannot sue
the State Of which he is a citizen.
and hence the removal of Mr.. Van
Rensselaer, to Pennsylvania.

The Rev. Mr.. WILDER, will preach at
the Academy tomorrow at ii o'clock.

AZ Attention is called to q card in
10 days paper from GEo.W. BucksER,
IN relation 10 certain remarks delivered
by him at the Court House on the even
ing of the illumination. Though he has
been represented to say many harsh
things Of our Wing friends, yet We heard
nothing of the kind.
He spoke with particular reference to
those who claimed all the intelligence
and decency of the land for the Wings.
He repealed the charge that the Democ-
racy ofthe country were made up of the
Ignorant and uniformed, and that we
had elected our candidates by cOrrup-
ton. To show that he did not misrepre-
sent the Wing Journals of the day. we
quote the following paragraph from the
Richmond Wing:
"Baffled as we are for the present,
We can find much in ;ne past to encour-
age us. No one who moves much a.
bout and watches the signs Of the times,
can doubt that a large majority of the
ren informed and respectable, probably
not less than two thirds Or three fourths,
are in the ranks of the Wing party, and
that these numbers taken from these
classes are steadily on the increase"
Two thirds or three iourlhs of the
wsA Informed and respectdbleH Boy
bring me a blanket! Is not this enough
to excite the honest indignation of every
Democrat. "No one who travels mucl
about. can doubt this" he says. We &c

majority. If the intelligence OF thu
country is confined to our cities & larg'
towns, we acknowledge that we would

motion was agreed to-and The a.
mendmept then adopted. The ques-
ton recurring on the passage of the
bill, rs amenied, the vote was taken
by ayes and noes, and stood as Ioi-

were, Messrs: Cowan, Dodge, Gray,
Griffin, Hughes of c., James, Jen-

Watson.
The Committee on Revision re-
ported to the House ii few bills, be-
ginning with the code as now arrang-
ed on the Statute Book. They pro-
pose to make the license for billiard
tables $500, and the penalty $1,000,
and 10 reject the amendments TO the
statutes about bonos and notes as aug-
gesled by the Revisors--that is to
leave the law on that subject as it
now stands.
The Committee on Elections re-
ported in favor of DIR. Rogers, the
gentleman who now holds the seat
for Carroll comfy. The report was
agreed to without examination. 1000
copies of the Auditors biennial re-
port were ordered to be printed.
No other business of Importance
was tIanacted. and the House ad-
iourned to Friday; tomorrow being
Thanksgiving day.
The repeal of the tax sale law,
however, is glory enough for n day.
That odious measure has been ex.
punged--iO add another triumph OF
principle to those already achieved
by the friends OF liberal legislation.
The vote upon IL was ilost DECISIVE.
In the Senate. Mrs. Fort and Wei
born were added TO the Revising
Committee. A bill was passed for
the relief of Rea, Slack and others;
also a bill to appropriate $4,000 to

An error has been discovered in the abb
