PICTURE GALLERY. The Albany Atlas, in
describing political picture gallery, describes
one OF the pictures recently tried to be painted
at Baltimore, and says, if successful, the work is
to be hung up in the White House-if not, to be
consigned with the general rubbish:
The pockets of the principal parsonage are fill
ed with treasury notes, public scrip, maps of
corner lots, &C., and, out OF one of them, peeps
volume entitled "the King and Court of France
and short letter to the Chicago Convention.
The accessories to the picture, furnished bv
the action and attitude of the crowds of Hupkers
including the N. Y. delegation with halters on
their necks, who are in attendance, it is unneces
sary to dwell upon.
The picture is by the celebrated illustrator of
HsoP, who, while since, depicted with such
efiect the foolish old man with two wives, one of
Whom liked white hair, and the other black, and
VINO, between them, plucked him bald He al.

DEArH OF Hon. HARRISON GRAY Oris.--
Died at his residence in Beacon street, at o.

Otis. He was descendant Of John Otis. who
came from England to this country, and set
tied in bingham, Nlass.,In the year 1880; and a
nephew Of the celebrated james Otis Of revolu.

was so largely Indebted.

l775, and was consequently in his S4th year,
on this the closing day of his life. He gradu-

Mr.. Otis has filed many important public Of

President Of our Court of Common Pleas and
the third Mayor of Boston.
Few men have ever impressed themselves
so largely upon the political character and des.

reason than the passions and the graces of

! The closing effort of Mr.. Otiss political
life was his letter in behalf of Gen. Taylor s
election, which appeared the early part Of this
month. Probably his death was accelerated
by the effort and excitement of that compost
ton and he would have been well content,
that his days should be abbreviated in such a
cause. As long the faculty Of speech re-
mained, up to Thursday last, he manifested his
interest in the political concerns and welfare
of his country.

vigorous to the last and he died without pain,

equal number in '4S, you must give majority

will stand no chance. Florida, in 1876, cast
1868 votes, and this year she will poll at least
1000, and give majority Of probably not far
from 1000 for Gen. Taylor. We give Della
ware fair warning to be up and dong, or she
will lose the banner. Kentucky, to be even
with US, must roll up majority of $3.50 out
of her vote ia 1874, when she gave ma Jonty
of 9267 for Mr.. Clay--and Massachusetts
must roll up clear majority of fifteen lhous-

who so distinguished himself in defence OF her

TINES CHAseEs.-A late letter in the
Concordia intelligencer has the following notice
of gentleman who died recently in Mexico -
Among the recent deaths here | .,otice one
that scarcely attracted passing remark,y yet he
was man who. twenty years ago stood at the
head of society-Martin Durable. Born OF
an influential and affluent family in Aitakapas,
extensively conncxted, augmenting his heredi-
tary fortune by successful investments, married
to daughter of the Hon. Henry Clay, who
was then at the zenith of his popularity and
power, Mr. Durable was, on all sides, courtes
consulted and cairessed. But reverses over
took him city property rapidly ran down
his wife died !; his friends diminished with his
fortune, and at the commencement of the MeXi-
can war this man, once SO rich, so popular and
so honored, found himself obliged, for subss.
nnce, to follow our march with few packages
Of merchandise. He recently embarked on a
trading schooner, at Tampco, to return
home. The deadly fever of that coast swept
off every one of the crew but a small boy, and
when the vessel after beating about in the
gulf, finally made the bar OF the river, with a
signal of distress, the captain was found dead
on pallet, and the unfortunate Durable by his
side in the last agonics, and no medicine, for
water, scarcely ration of food on board.

SMITH OBRIKN.-As our readers will per-
eeive by the foreign news, this individual who
has been connected with the late troubles in
Ireland has been sentenced to he hung. He
has however been recommended TO mercy, and
we cannot but hope that this recommg ndation
by the jury who convicted the unfortunate man,
will be listened to by the Government. When
O'Brien was asked why sentence should not
be pronounced upon him, he rose up, and
with an unfa,ering voice said -
"My Lords, it is not my intention to enter
into any vindica,ion Of my conduct, however
much might have desired to avail myself Of
this opportunity Of doing so. l am perfectly
satisfied with the consciousness that l have
performed my duty to my country-that have
done only that which it was, in my opinion.
the duty Of every Irishman to have DONE
And / am now prepared to abide the conse
quences of my having performed my duty to
my native land. Proceed with your sentence"
The frmness Of the prisoner appears to
have offended the Judge, for, after very brief
address TO him he pronounced the following
foul and bloody sentence, which no man who
hopes for salvation, or cherlshcs speck Of
christian Feeling in his heart could ever utter.
1t is bloody, brutal, and most barbarous sen
tenco, and it is foul blot upon the character
of the English Legislators that they permit
such remnant Of the dark superstitious and
revengeful passions Of their savage ancestors
to remain on their statute books. Ellis lord
ship" as tho implacable mercenary is called,
who pronounced this butcher-like sentence
said, after no and his confederate judges had
most appropriately put on their black caps TO
denote the hideousness of their doings
"That the sentence is, that you, William
S. o Brien, shall be taken hence to tho place
Whence you came, and be thence drawn on a
hurdle to the place Of execution, and be there
hanged by the neck until you be dead, and
that afterwards yonr head shall be severed
from your body, and your body severed into
four quarters, to be disposed of as her Majesty
may think fit. May the Lord have mercy on
your soul 20

TEs Reasons why Asri-SLAvsRY WHIos
SHOULD VOTE ron Van BuREs.-Some Wings
are so violently opposed to slavery that they
intend voting for Martin Van Buren-thereby
assisting in the election of Gen. Cass, who is
pledged to veto any bill restricting the exten-
sion Of slavery.
As some of them may be at loss for rea-
sons to assign tor their course, the Lancaster
Examiner suggests the following for their con-
alteration. They will doubtless find them
conc clusive and highly satisfactory
\ Mr.. Van Buren, sanctioned the rule lin Con-
press) which prohibited the reception OF
any petition having reference to slavery
This is reason No. /.
II Mr.. Van Buren, sustained to its full extent
the "Atherton gag" This is reason No.2.
/ Mr.. Van Buren, when Vice President, gave
his casting vote ia favor Of the hill 20 rob the
mails and burn all Abolition papers found
south Of the Potomac. This is reason No. 8.
Mr.. Van Buren gave his casting vote for the
bill which provided for the removal of any
postmaster guilty Of allowing anti-savery pa
pers to 20 into the mails. This is reason No.
a.
/ Mr.. Van Burcn solemly volunteered a pledge
to veto any bill in favor Of abolishing slavery
in the District Of Columbia. This is reason
No. s.
Martin Van Buren ordered the Marshal OF
Connecticut to surrender up the Amstad ne
groes to an officer Of the Navy, that they might
be sent back into slavery. This is reason No. 6.
H Mr.. Van Buren instructed our Foreign Min
isters to prevent Mexico from entering upon
a crusade against Cuba, lest il should cad to
the emancipation of the slaves Of that island
This is reason No. z.
| Mr.. Van Buren, wrote letter in favor of
the election of Polk. This is reason No =.
MIR. Van Burcn and his barnburner friends,
elected Polk, voted to annex Texas, approved
the war and stood up for the conquest Of New
Mexico and California. This is reason No. 3.
Mr.. Van Buren now knows that ifPolk had
not been elected, Texas would not have been
annexed, there would have been no war, no
sacrifice of human life, and no danger of sla-
very extension. This is reason No. 10.
If these reasons are not sufficient to induce
any anti-slavery man to vote for Van Buren,,
we cannot imagine what better ones can be
found. The only additional one that we
can think of is, that as recently as last June he
asserted that sit is nOw source of consolation
to me that Ipursued the course Ithen adoOcat.
