% The Barnburners claim that their
cause. is fast progressing and gaining the
confidence Of the people. AS an evidence
oftha, they should cite the fact that ten. of
the papers of that faction, since the nomi-
nation Of Van Buren,, have deserted the
standard Of the disunionis,s and nobly come
out for Cass and Butler And rs a still
further evidence of the manner in which
this faction is prospering, they should
mention the fact that "lhe Barnburner," a
paper established in the city Of New York
for tie express purpose Of advocating Van
Buren, and loose dirt, has suspended. And
as still further indication of the rapid
progress Of this disunion faction, the Now
York Recruit mentions the fact that q Wig
orous effort is being made to induce some
orthe friends Of Cass and Butler to pur.
chase the Globe, the leading Barnburnef
paper of that city; and that the present pro.
prietors of that journal "are actually rum
ming round the streets offering to soil ou,
its Van Burenism at n consideration, and
TO bring out the "Great Globe itself" in
favor of Cass and Butlerr' These evil
dences Of the progress Of Van Burenism
may be fa,tering to the free soilers, but to
us they show, what we have all along pre-
dicted, that this disunion party would very
soon run itself into the ground, and such
must be its fate, ard that soon.

The federal Roorback State Central
Committee have published some seventy ap.
poinlments for public meetings in different
parts of the State, and the orators, ilnpor.
led and domestic, are each assigned to their
stations.
Kentucky sends two stumpers, in the

Metcalfe, to teach Ohioans TO vote against
the old Pioneer Of the West. The first

each county TO meet the orators at the
meeting previous, with conveyances to
transport them to the place OF meeting.

a matter of record, that in the counties
nnmed, the vote Of Taylor and Fillmore
will be decreased, and tina, of Cnss and But.

The Second Allison Letter.

vealed in this profound epislle:

rallied under his banner 10 defend the

to be made by man seeking the suffrages
Of free and patriotic people! What
were the political opini,ns which General
Taylor, in Mexico, dared not avow TO those
noble spirits who had stood beside him in
The bloody deGles of Buenn Vis,a7 Did
they imply the reproacl and dishonor OF
his country? Did the words in:o which
the opinions would have shaped themselves.
strike deeper and deadler wounds into the
cause and lame Of our Country than the
Mexican lancers could inffict on her brave
defenders! Were these opinions, which
could not face the light. which feared to
meet the indignation or the scorn Of pa.
triot army-were they fitted to give ''aid
and comfort to the public enemy? Were
they Of The Hudson or Corwin stamp?
What political opinions fit for an Ameri.

whig party, or any other party, to cast its
votes for mere military chie!tain, who
avows that if, during the war Of his coun.

Horrible attempt at Seduction.

Murder and Suicide. We learn from
the Lexington Mo. Express that most re-
voting aud cruel murder was perpetrated
in the neighborhood of Marshall, Saline
county in that State, on the 18th ult. The
circumstances related are as follows:
Baker, man who had been for many
years citizen of the county, and who has
always been regarded by his neighbors as a
correct and worthy man, peaceabie and kind
in his family, conceived an incestous passion
for his dau, ,shter Elizabeth, aged about Y
or % years-a most worthy and modest
young woman and made frequent attempts
to crafty his brutal desires, which the
daughter obstinately resisted, until the day
upon which this horrible transaction occur
red. He determined to awe her into SUBJ
mission, and deliberately, in the presence
of his daughter, loaded his gun and threat
enedif she did not submit, that he would
shoot her
About 2 o'clock in the evening, he delib-
erately discharged his gun upon the young
lady, the whole contents having effect on
the left side, In the region Of the liver the
young lady survived about eight hours, re-
tanning her reason and faculties of speech
long enough to relate the brutal conduct OF
the father towards her. immediately after
he had inflicted the fatal wound, he ran a.
cross the field with his gun. The next NOR
ming he was found in his field dead, driven
by the consciousness If his brutal guilt to
shoot himself. Baker was about So years
old, and bad a wife and some FIVE or six
children. ~.

Who is G0verD0r2

1t is an old saying That "you can tell
who is Governor after tie election" yet.
in the presen; instance,wa are compelled 10
wait long time after; and still we are
left in state of uncertainty rs to the re-.
suit. One mail brings US the intelligence
that Weller is elected by a small! minority,
and The very next brings the news ,ha,
Ford is elected, and the next will contra.
dict that; and so, for nearly a week, we
have been kept ''halting between two opin.
ions" The election has been very close
one, and the vote, as far as we Gun learn,
has been large. -
From the latest reports, we think Ford
is elected by small majority, but the con-
lest is SD close that it is impossible TO tell
by what majority, if he has majority n,
all; and it is thought by many that it will
yet require the official returns TO determine
the matter.
The Democrats have elected eleven Of
the 2l members of Congress
The Democrats have elected 10 Senators
and The Wings 8. OF The Senator's hold
ing over, 10 are Wings and Democrats,
making tie in the next Senate. The
Wings and free soilers have probably q
maj.ri,y of two or four in the House. The
free soilers have the balance Of power.
The result Of the election, though not
quite what we could wish, is anything but
dishenr,ening 10 the Democracy. 1t affords
certain proof tha, Ohio is sure for Cass
and Butler ia November. With con-.
bina.ion of all the opposing factions to the
Democratic party, with all the isms in the
field agains. US, they have but bnrely es'
capped defeat. Ohio is good for $4,000
majority for Cass nnd Butler, OF that there
is no room for doubt
