WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The health of Mr.. Clay
is understood to be rapidly failing lie has
been much worse yesterday and to-day. Yester-
day afternoon Gov. Kossuth, accompanied by
Gen Cass, called on him, but he too feeble
to see them.
The Governor of Maryland has extended an
invitation to Kossuth, which he has accepted, to
visit Annapolis on his return from Washington.
Priessnitz, the celebrated founder of Hydro
pathy, died at Grafenburg on the 26th of Nov,
at the age of %. In the morning of that day,
Priessnitz was up and stirring at an early hour,
but complained of the cold, and had wood
brought in to make a large fire. His friends had
for some time believed him to be suffering from
dropsy of the chest, and at their earnest en-
treaty he consentee to take little medicine,
exclaiming all the while, ''It's of no USE" He
would see no physician, but remained to the
last true to his profession. About four o'clock
in the afternoon of the 10th, he asked TO be
carried to bed, and upon being laid down, ex-

Gov. Graham and the Tariff.

/ FROM TIE ALEXANDER TELEGRAPH OF OCT. l2
The Democracy of Pennsylvania are
holding up Gov, Graham, the Wing can
didate for Vice President, as an opponent
of protective tariff. The very men who
in IA advocated the election of Polk, pre-
tending that he was " better tariff man
than Henry Clay" have the unparalleled
effronieryto charge Gov. Graham with hos
tility to the protection of American labor
| The Kane letter and the false representa-
tions of James Buchanan in regard to
Polk's position on the tariff carried the
State of Pennsylvania for the Democrats
| in IA. It remains to be seen whether
the people ofthat State will permit them
selves to be cheated again at the coming
election by the party trieksters who are
now assailing the Whig candidate for al
legged opposition to the protection of the
industrial pursuits of the country.
In regard to the views of MIR. Graham
on this subject we are not left to conjec-
ture. In his letter accepting the nomi-
nation of his party as candidate for Gov
ernor in lS44 he thus alludes to the qucs-
of the tariff:
81 have no hesitation in saying that
while | think the Government should col
lect the least amount of money which may
be necessary for efficient public service,

deemed of sufficient Importance to deserve
it, as well as to counteract the effect of
restrictive regulations in our trade by for
eign nations, whenever it should appear
,expedient to do so. did not vote for
the tariff now existing. Some of its du-
ties were higher than | approved ; but in
the vacant condition of the Treasury, |
would not have withheld from it my sup
port had an amendment which | offered,
proposing a distribution of the proceeds
of the public lands among the States,
been incorporated in the bill"
With these sentiments he was triumph
antly elected in 1874. lie was re-elec-
ted, as is known, in 1916; and in his All
nual message to the Legislature, referring
to the repeal of tariff the of '42 and the
passage4of the act of '46, he expressed his
deep regret at the change, as likely to af-
feet injuriously the industrial interests of
the country.
Mr.. Graham, unlike his competitor for
the same Office, is no free-trader, but the
warm supporter of protection to our own
industry against the pauper labor of Eu-

Dreadful Railroad Accident.
Packer. Foster. 5

A terrible accident occurred on the 9TH
inst, on the Montreal Railroad, near
Weirs steamboat landing, by which six
persons were killed, and from twelve to
sixteen dangerously injured. An extra
train was coming from the Steamboat
Dover, at Meredith village, with large
number of passengers, on their way to
the State Fair at Meredith Bridge Soon
after it started, car coupling broke while
on pile bridge near the weirs, and be-
fore the accident could be repaired, an
other extra train from the steamer Dover
ran into it, and a most heart rending
scene ensued.
Among those reported to be killed are
the following: John H. Smith, of Dover,
Clerk Of Strafford County Court; Mr.
Roberts and child, of Holderness; Mr..
McDuffee, of Acton, and Mr.. Edgarly, Of
Tuftonborough:
Among those dangerously injured were
Sanborn G Carter, of Ossipee, Register
of Probates in Carroll county, (who is re-
ported to have since died); Thomas ",
Mordough, Esq, of Wakefield, who had
both his legs broken, and others, some Of
whom are reported to have since died
Many jumped into the water which was 8
feet deep. Governor Martin was in the
train but was not injured.
A lady, named Evans, was killed at
Sanburton Bridge to-day by the cars,
while attempting to take her child from
the train.
Another woman, named Lord, was
killed by horse at the fair grounds near
Meredith.

Freemen, all Go TO Work!
Gen. ScOtt as an Orator.

The editor of the Lowell Journal, who
was an officer under GEN. ScoTT's COM
mand in Mexico, says:
at is not an uncommon thing to GEN
SCoTT to make brief, tcrse, and eloquent
address to his men on the battle field
On such occasions he is extremely hap
py, and the earnest and feeling with
which he speaks, shows that his whole
heart is in what he says. Many of these
addresses might be cited. After the fall
of Chapultcpee he rode up the hill where
our soldiers were shooting down the Mex
leans after they were taken prisoners or
had surrendered: He closed a feeling
address, in which he dissuaded them in
the moment of triumph from doing an act
that had the appearance of inhumanity,
with these words: Deeds like yours are
recorded in history. Be humane and gen
erous, my boys, you are victorious. [
will get down on my bended knees to God
for you tonight
Some of his answers to the Mexican
Commander-in-G Chief were brief and to
the point The night before the battle of
Chapultepec, SANTA ANNA sent word to
ScoTT, that unless he surrendered in four
hours he would show him no quarters -
General Scott sent back that be found his
(SANTA ANNA's quarters SO far, very
good, and he should take possession of
the rest of them without asking to show
them to him! Again, when the troops
were aboutsentering the Capital, SANTA
ANNA sent to SCOTT for his terms. The
latter's reply was-"I have no answer to
give and no question to ask" 1t was
time for action and not for parley. -...
Gen. ScoTT was educted to the bar,and
on ordinary occasions (off the feld) he
speaks rather slowly, and with great de-
liberation, as well as with great eloquencc.
His different speeches before the Court of
Inquiry in the National Palacein Mexico,
were admirable specimens of his oratory
and eloquence. Indeed, there was some
thing akin to moral subiiinity in that
scenc-the great Captain of the age and
conqueror of Mexico, prisoner as it
were, in the Capitol of the country he had
conquered, and on the very theatre ofhis
brilliant victories-which invested his ap-
pearance before that tribunal with a de-
gree of thrilling interest never before
witnessed on ordinary occasions.''dg 5aAf

1t is my opinion that our majority will be
from 500 to 1000 votes greater for Gen. Scott,
than it was in lS4S, for Gen. Taylor. Some

it is possible it may be so If the

for Scott In addition to this, i know good

now for Scott.
