to fifteen thousand people, at which many
spirited addresses uere given among the
speakers were Bale Peyton, s. s. Pom

craft but had had enough Of Mr.. Polk I'D

was but the residuary legatee He said
Pennsylvania was good for Gen. Taylor
by 10000 majority.
A great and enthusiastic meeting was
also held at Lancaster, Ohio, which was
addressed warmly BY the Hon, Thomas
Ewing
In short, the country is every where re-
spending enthusiastically J, and the only OPP
position is from the rank abolitionists,
whose true objection to.Gcn, Taylor is not
his defective. Whiggery, but his want Of

of the Winchester s. Potomac Company,
ON Wednesday of last week, short dis

would in all probability have been thrown

A negro boy named WnsoS, in the en-
ploy Of MI. Craven Trussell, residing near
Dufields Depot, in this county, has been
arrested and placed in Jail, charged with
having placed a rail across the track Of tho
Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road on the
night of the a5th, for the purpose Of throw
ing off the Passenger Cars which run at
night The evidence against the boy
seems to be pretty strong, though there
ate two versions
1t appears that rails have been placed
on the track at various periods, and several
.pfgroes charged as guilty, who dctermin-
Cd TO watch, in order to relieve themselves
from suspicion, One story is, that VIII
son was discovered by two, negroes whilst
throwing the rail across, and when remon-
stfated with, would not desist. Another
version is, that negro informed the SUI
.ptrvisor of the road that Wilson had said
he designed placing rail over the road
that evening the supervisor and negro
Immediately started of, .and discovered
the accused placing rail across the track,
and then hastily 5leeamping-the Passen-
ger Train just coming in sight at the
time. The Cars reached the spot before
the signal could be given, but the cow
catcher took npthe rail which was thrown
across the wheel, and the train stopped
before any injury was done.
The negro belongs to Miss Martha
Gibbs, and is Is Or l6 years of age. An
Examining Court will be held to-day,
when all the facts in the case will be fully
ELECTED. Death is the penalty for such an
offence, if fully sustained

JEFFERsoSIAN APPOINTMENTS.

The eloquent Tompkins of Mississippi, made
a glowing speech at the Wing Ratification Meet
ing in Georgetown. He touched off the boasting
style in which Mr.. Cass is everlastingly informs
ing the people that his (Cass's) first appointment
10 Office, was made by Mr.. Jefferson. Potomac"
Of the Baltimore Patriot, furnishes brief sketch
Of the remarks Of Mr.. Tompkins, as follows:
'It isl said Mr.. T., "a matter Of boast with the
friends Of Gen. Cas-, and fact he proclaims eve
ry time he speaks OF writes of late, that he was
rstapp5inted tooilice BY Mr.. Jefferson, ihc grca,
Apostle Of Democracy! Well, in that he has no
great advantage over General Taylor; Inc, too,
was appointed to office about the same-f time, By
the same Apostle Of Democracy"
I'm these appointments" continued The orator,
1--WE have Mr. Jefferson's opinion Of ME two men.
Taylor he appointed to an Office in the United
States Army Cas-, 10 the Office Of Marshal in the
Territory Northwest of the ohio--an; office cor
responding to thai Of Sheriff.. In bestowing these
commissions, Mr. JeflTesonin effect said-"Here,
Zachary Taylor, the Nations sword is to be
drawn amid the thunder and the shock of battle !
the Nations nag is to be borne by hands which
will never trail il in the dust-never surrender it
TO an enemy These functions you are eminent
ly fitted 10 fisaaarge! Take this commission
you never will disgrace itl'
"'Here, Lewis Cas- when poor devil of a
debtor isto Be run down and served with writ,
when the last COW which supplies his furnishing
children with milk, and the last bed which sup
ports the emaciated frame of the sick wife are to
be seized and sold under execution and when

locked up in adungeon. you, sir, are clninenty
fitted for such services: take this commission /:

IA
In he bestcwal Of these two commissions, Mr..
Tompkins SAID, Mr.. jefferson, with his charac-
ters,ic inghtinto the capabilities, qualifications
and tcmpers Of men, has by powerful and unmis-
taxable implication, given to the world his opin-
ion of Zachary Taylor and OF Lewis Cas- lin
