made him master of the universe, he held
council To examine the prisoners who
had heed engaged in Antonys parry
Among the rest, there was brought be.
fore him an old man, Metellus, oppressed
with years and imlirmilies, disiigurcd with
a long beard, u neglected head OF HAIR
and lattercd cloths The sou OF this
Metellus was one of the judges hut it
was with great difficulty he knew his
father in the deplorable condition nwhlch
hc saw him. AT Inst, however, having
recollecied his features, instead OF being
ashamed 10 own him, he ran TO embrace
him. Then turning towards the tribunal,
he said: "Cwsar, my father has been
your enemy, and | your officer; he deserves
TO be punished, and to be rewarded.
One favor desire OF youi It is, either to
save him on my account, or order me TO
be put TO death with him" All the
Judges were touched with compassion at
this affecting scene Octayius himself
repented, aud granted 10 old Metellus his
life and liberty.

benevolence, n wide spread popularity
with the Indians OF the city aud It's vicln'

tieipaled from the mission. Two days
were past in pacific conference with the
savages after which, they committed the
unheard.of brutality of assassinating him
and his colleagues in the church. Their
lives were feloniously taken IN reward fol
their (perhaps) mdisereei confidence IN
the integrity and honor Of race, whc
ala are too well known for their porlidy
After the city OF Nalladolid fell into th,
hands of these bnrharims, there wer,
found within its suburbs one hundred ant
seyeniy.sevcn women and children wh'
were left without the means OF escape
They were all brought INTO an enclosure
OF fenced lot, where to the sound OF must

As VIC announced in 4 part Of our last
week., edition. the choice Of the Democrat
ic National Convention at Baltimore, fell
upon Gen. LENys Ciss, Of Michigan, as the
candidate for the Presidency, and Gen.
WV. o. BUrLER, Of Kentucky, for the Vice
Presidency. The choice Of two-thrls Of
the democracy OF the Union, (as expressed
by their Representatives in convention as
their standard bearers in the approaching
contest, we checrfully raise their name. to
the head Of our columns, and pledge our.
selves TO contribute all our energies to aid
in sccurin. their election. It's due to cam
dor TO say, tina, Gen. Cas- was not our first
choice for the presidency. Weshoull have
preferred a candidate who leaned less to-
wards the southern doctrine on the subject
Of slavery. BIT at the same time, we have
always contcndcd that the question OF S!a-
very should not be made test by Us IN the
support Of any candidate for the presidency,
and there is no reason, therefore, why we
should reject Gem Cas- on this score. The
territory which we shall acquire from Mex
icu is now free. II can only be made slave
territory by tie legislation Of congress. II
il, thcrefJfe, immaterial so lar as this Qpes-
tionis coucerned, what the sentiments Of the
president are, if we can get congress that
will refuse TO make slave territory. Be-
sides, from the position taken by Gen. Cas-
himself upon this subject, he is as much
pledged to veto bill of congress to auth
orize slavery in new territory, as he is TO
veto a bill 10 prohibit; il for he denies the
power Of congress 10 legislate upon the
subject at all
Ia all other respects, every democrat
must admit, that no other choice the Ba!u-
more convention nigh; have made could
have bren more fortunate. Always pure
and consistent democrat, great among the
greatest statesmen Of the Union, a tried,
faithful audmos; able servant OF his country,
in war and in peace-his public as well as
his private character untayushed by a sin
gle b!ot--we look in vain for another in the
whole lis; of oIr distinguished statesmen
better appointed in all those qualifications
tina, should adorn president of the United
States.

sident, is at present the commander in chief

ATEoCIous MuEuEN.-Two Nurwegians,
who kept "bachelur's hall'' in acaLin, at
TranSlia Grove, near Dixon, were found ON
the l9lh nit, murdered in their bed. There
were large COMMISSIONS in their fo.cheads,
apparently douc BY the blow Of an axe,
which seems to have been done some days
before, as the bodies were already bccum-
ing purified. It appear; to have been a
most cold and hcarless deed, a, the blows
must have been deliberately, yet rapidly,
givcd to kill both men before either should
be disturbed. 1t is supposed the deed wa,
done to get the little money they may have.
possessed. No clue is yet discovered of the
perpetrators. From the statement of neigh.
bors, suspicion hangs strongly upon one Oh
two persons, Of whom officers started il
pursuit toward. Chicago.

THAT BouQuEr.-We are indebted to
some unknown hand for magnificent bou-

left at ourd door early one morning this week.
Attached TO the bouquet, by nice pink rib
bon, was a note, in a fairy-likc, crowd quill
hand, conceived in such diScrimimativc and
appropriate terms, appreciatvc Of our good
qualities, that we are persuaded they are the
emanation of a mind as intelligent as it is
kcenly alive to all that is rare and beautiful.
We must give a line or two:
"Excelling riches dwell within thy mind,
Strong, !ervent thought, and eloquenCe re-
fined"
And so forth. This is said of as. Alas
and alackaduy for the o. b. c., if the ladie,
