DEATH OF GOV. SKUNK.

The Philadelphia papers of Friday came to us
clothed in mourning, on account of the death of
Gov. Francis r. Skunk. A despatch TO the Led
ger, dated Harrisburg, Thursday night, says:
The Governor breathed his last this evening;
about o'clock. His death was calm aud devoid
of pain.
arms commenced getting cold. This morning,
about il o'clock, deaths hand was laid upon his
lower extremities. Siimulants proved unuva-
ing-slowly but surely the cold king advanced to
his heart, and few minutes before o'clock his
spirit was released.
His last words were addressed to his weeping
wife-s Don't fret, Jane L am anxious for the
end" His family and relatives, the heads Of de-
partments, his physicians and one or two friends
were present at the final moment.
Though expected, the event has struck chill
over the town. lie leaves property of only
about $4,000 to sustain his family.
In compliance with his repeated wish, his re-
mains will be buried atthe Trappe, in Montgome
ny CO., his birth place. 1t is about25 miles from
Philadelphia.
The funeral cortege, with his body, will start
from here in the cars on Saturday morning, at
o'clock, remain in Philadelphia over night, and
proceed on Sunday morning to the place of inter
ment.
The Wing State Committee, to-day, fixed on
the 3lst of August for holding the Wing State
Gubernatorial Convention in that city.

and pledging themselves TO support neither. As
no company has, or can have, as many rs 3Sm

Cincinnati Enquirer confirms this opinion. On
the authority of several officers and men, it states
that no such meeting took rIace alleged, that
a vote was taken when 3 ri them were present,
and stood 80 for Cass andl for Taylor, and that
there are mol more than four Taylor men in the

Go our office, some taunting of the Democracy

this article. Why this constant effort to- connect
the treachery Of Van Buren, with the Democratic
Marty, we cannot tell Every who kno%s
any .liing Of the history of the government since
1892, mast know, that Van Buren, was the friend
and consistent supporter ofSouthern interest from
;llt period until the close OF his administration IN
1871. We defy the Wings toprodace one single
act ofhis. during the whole of tia; period, which
does not sastain our position. But can they, we
would ask, say as much Tor HenryIlay Let US
COMPARE the course Of these two distinguished
men in The Senate of the United States, the for

few years previous TO 1895, the whole South was
almost completely inundated, by the distribution
through the mail, of abolition documents, of the
IN 1st inllmatory character, as too many instances
proyed Towards the close of Van Buren's term
"a Vice President, a bill was introduced into Con-
pr.ss 10 prohibit the circulation Of these incen-
dilry documents" through the mail. This, as
every one can well imagine, became at once an
i'm oortant cad TO a very great extent, testqucs-
ten upon the subject involved While it was as.
cer;ained, that the vote in The Senate upon it,
would be an exceedingly close one. The South
stood in fear and trembling for the fate of the bill,
JreadiDg, with but too much cause, the conse-
cuances OF its defeat. When the vote was taken
Martin Van Buren, was at his post, but where was
Henry Clay? A few moments before the ayes
and noes were called, upon the passage OF this
bill, Henry Clay, the rescue to whom the Southern
Wings have always pretended TO look for safety in
III, hoarofdanger, absented himself from his seat
or in other words, deserted his post. The vote
was tye. The responsibility of giving the cast
ing vote devolved upon Van Buren,. He wavcred
not. His vote was given the side OF the South,
and thus the bill became a law. Clay's absence
on this occasion has never been accounted for!-l
Van Buren, 1T is true, has fallen from this noble
position 10 Which his course willie in the Federal
had elevated him, but in his fall he has
carried no Southern interests with him. The
South has refused her confidence TO him since
1870 Notwithstanding the ignolniny and dis
grace that attach TO his name, how stands the
case between him and Clay, after the contrast OF
their public acts on the occasion referred to is
brought in review The universal response would
be i'll favor afENan buren,. Then we say, if Van

citizens, who have watched every movement OF
the campaign, with the deepest interest, and with
the aching hearts of relatives and friends. Some

the quietude OF death in the Vailies of Mexico !;
for them has gone up the grateful prayer, halIow-
ed by sincere patriotism and sympathy. For those
who have survived the tolls OF the march and the
pert!s of the climate, there remains the joyous
welcome of home and peace-the public acknowl-
edgemcnt of our heartfelt thanks, and the warm
tribute ofpraise and admiration. Col. Hamtramck,
after flying visit to his home and family, has re-

which sounds like truth:
Soon after Cass was made Secretary of War;
Scott meeting Taylor said to him, "Ah! Taylor
"a good appointment that. We have Secrc-
tary now who understands our wants." Taylor
has two veins in his forehead, that when he is ex
cited, swell out as large as a child's finger.

When he was Governor of Michigan territory,
he ordered me 10 send MIN twelve of my best look
ing and tullest soldiers, and don't you think the
rascal kept six of 'em to row his boat for two
years, and they were paid by the Government as
my tnen."
Ii ,rae, then, it will be again verified. cass
will have not only six but six thousand and more
of Taylor's men-,he brave Volunteers of our
War-to shove his boat again from It's moorings
AMI with fair wind and tide, securely float it
across the turbulent waters of political strife, for
inur years more. The Cass ship is now the only
one that win net be engulphed in the maelstroem
of destruction. 10 which wild fanaticism is endea-
