THE PROSPECT.
success.

Every hour brings us renewed hope and
confidence as TO IA glorious democratic tri-
umph in the coming contest. The signs OF
the times cannot we'll be mistaken. As We
anticipated, all is harmony, i'll the north,
the south, the east and The west, and there
is an ardent enthusiasm, inspired by the
business and greatness of the cause, Il
mong the whole democracy, which is the
snrcst harbingcr of triumph. With the di-
ference of the more favorable position we
occupy on the score of principle, we find
in the present indications on the side Of the
democracy, parallel with the enthusiasm
which attended on The wing nominations OF
1910. a cause for this state of things is
obvious. Our principles are and always
have been popular with the mass they are
indeed the principles of the mass but 50
far as the men OF these prnci pies were
concerned, perscvcring falsehood and SANDER
did lis work 1910. We have now the same
popular principles, and we have men with
regard TO whom the tongue Of SANDER is
dumb We have in opposition, principles
which are and always have been unpopular,
and man-the chief-of whom the naked
truth is sufficient for his condemnation
That glorious enthusiasm should be
aroused, and that the people should rush in
mass around their iayorte standard, is natu-
raj and TO be expected they will bear il
alofi to a glorious triumph.
We are permitted to mako the following
extracts from letters received by different
gentlemen from the empire State :

however, that the democracy of this State,

create much zeal with the people.

| SEDUCTION AND MURDER-A FATHER $
| REvENGE.-Mr E. Ford in a paroxysm o!
distress sho, n. w. Low "a young auction
eer) OF 81 Louis on the Sth, in the head,
for seducing his only daughter, and thon
gave himself up. There was much excite
ment among the people Of that city in con
sequence OF the melancholy occurrence.
The father had been searching several days
for his daughter, the latter having been per
suaded by Low to accompany him to New
Orleans under promise Of marriage, but
on the fatal day Low returned alone, hav-
ing left Miss Ford n, ST. Geneyievc, few
miles below St Louis. Having ascer,ainrd
all the facts from the officers Of the steam
boat that conveyed the guilty pair from
New Orleans, Mr.. Ford called at Lows
office in company with n friend, and en-
CURED where his daughter was Low an
swercd 'that if he came on that business,
he had better clear out" Ford then remark
ed, that he (Low) had promised to marry
her. by that promise had succeeded in ruin
ing her, and he wished TO know If he lnten-
ded TO fulfil his premise? A witness states
that Low told the father TO "go to hill. A."
lie, the witness, on hearing angry word )
commence between them, stepped towal DIS
the door. and when he turned round, OBJ
served Ford standing up with pistol in his
hand, Ford repeated the question, "wll you
marry my daughter?" Low again told
him TO Ego TO h-ll'' and the exasperated
father fired the pistol. Low was seated at
tho time he received the wound. The ball
entered nearly in the center of his forehead
a little above the right eyebrow, making q
ghasly, and it is believed fatal wound
Mr.. Ford made no effort to escape, but on
the contrary yielde himself IN to the per
son who accompanied him. and desired to
be conducted TO the Recorders Office He
spoke in a cool and collected manner about
the affair, and on his examination exhibited
the same calm determination TO abide the
consequences. When tho examining JUS
tlce stated that he would hold Mr.. Ford TO
bail in the amount of five thousand dollars,
several gentlemen Immediately stepped for
ward and desired to become his security,
but Of course they could not all be gratified.
The distracted parent having given the ne
cessary bail Was permitted to retire to his
desolale home. The wreichod seducer was
still alive on the evening of the S;h inst,
sinking from the effect of tho wound, and
not expectedto live. Miss Ford is said to
have been young lady Of great personal
beauty, and well educaied-lhoroughly ed
ucated at some fashionable boarding school,
no doubt. Mr.. Ford has engaged the dis
tinguished MIR. Blannerhassc,t OF St. Louis
as his Attorney and Counsellor.

The special messenger despatched by our
government TO Mexico, on the subject of the
annexation of Texas, retune Just before
the adjournment of Congress. Nothing de
finite has yet transplred as TO the result of
his mission. 1t was at first reported that the
result was favorable, and that Mexico wouI
yield readily all claim on Texas. The
Globe says, however, that such is not the
case, and that Mexico is determined to re-
slst to the last the annexation project. The
Globe conjectures that the intelligence bro't
by the agent was concealed from the mem
bers Of Congress, that there might be an eX-
cuse for calling them together again, before
long, on the subject.

The manner in which Mr. Clay attempts
to frown down history is really amusing.

brought in array bef;-e HIM, he assumes a

the papers stating that meeting of demo
Gratis had been held in the Kensington dis

THE SENTENCE OF O'CONNELL

Quem Deus ruh pcrderc may well be-
applied to The British Government, in view
OF the condemnation of O'CoNNELL and
his associates to fine and Imprisonment, for
the peuceable, and constitutional agitation
of Repeal. In this country, and in every
country where there exists a particle of
the spirit OF civil liberty, the act must be
regarded as one of downright inlatuation
and rank injustice. That such man for
such an offence, should be incarccrattd,
mulctcd IN fines, and put under bonds TO
hold his peace, must excite n feeling of in
tense indignation, wherever tho circum-
stances are known-and will no doubt give
a fresh impulse, as il ought, 10 the cause
for which O'CoNNELL and his conpat riots
suffer unjust punishment
Such is the feeling with which the intel
ligence is received here by the friend, OF
ireland and the Lib"rator, under keen
sense of the wrong done 10 the man, and
the stigma attempted, through him, to be
thrown upon the cause, of which he is the
Champion, that we understand the Repeal
ers OF this city will hold meeting at the
Capitol on Monday evening, in reference
TO this unexpected finale Of the state trials.
1t will no doubt be q strong expression OF
the popular feeling.-AJ. Argus.

change in the popular sentiment, and where
before the democratic nominations, it was
all ''hurrah for Clay" the shout is now
even more enthusiastic and unanimous for
Polk.
We have conversed also, with gentle
man whose opportunities for observation are

son motion by Mr.. Clay, of Kentucky,
"To amend the bill, by adding thereto the
following section:
'SEc. I. And BIO it further enacted, that
all settlements on the public lands subse-
quent to the first day Of December, 1897,
shall be, and the same ARE STRICTLY
PROHIBITED; and the President shall be,
and hereby is authorized and REQUIRED
10 cause all persons who may settle on the
public lands subsequent to the date afore-
said TO BE REMOVED THEREFROM."
ct was determined in the negative
yeas 81, nays 23.''
Of these, 10 wings and 2 democrats vo-
ted in the affirmative, and D democrats vo-
ted i'll the negative. Comment is needless.
We gave in our last paper our opinions
on the subject of the nomination of a slave
holder for the Presidency. We deprecalc
il and in our view it would have been an
insuperable objection TO the nomination of
convention there are but few circumstances
under which We would have voted for the
nomination of u stakeholder for the Pres
dency If there is in any position in the
world, necessity for irreproachablc men, it
is in that of a President OF this Republic;
therefore We should have sought TO procure
a Democrat against whom not even this re
proach could rest. But the question is now
between james X. Poll and Henry Clay
Doubtless the friends of this latter gentle
man, would be much pleased to have those
democrats, who dcprecate slayeholding,
stand quietly by in this contest, and by re-
fllslng TO aid Col. Polk, directly ASSIST in
the election of Mr.. Clay. This would be-
avoiding Scylla and rushing into Charybds
with a vengeance. We must now do the
best we can, and certainly no Democrat can
hestatc as 10 the course of duty, when he
knows that by inactlon he my contribute 10
the election of Clay. Taking the question
as 1t is, one of morals, the line of duty of all
good men is plain. With TIE one exception,
OF slaveholdng, Col Polk is irrcproachable
ia member of the church, an upright man
in every particular, and his opponent, who,
by lnacton, we are called upon TO asst in
c'cctlng, is not only stakeholder, but du-
elist, a g'mbIer, a proflne swearcr, an at
tcndant at horse races, dishonest politician,
