the next morning that his dead body was
found in his bed, pierced with three dag

right side, and one in the heart His
death must have been instantaneous. A

DR. GARDENERS DEATH. Washington
papers received contain full account of
the closing scenes iE the Gardiner trial.
Soon after the sentence Of the Court was
pronounced, DR.. GARDINER took glass
Of water and signifed his readiness to 60
TO Jail. Mr. SMITH, the warden of the
Jail, and Mr.. WILSON, bailiff of the Court,
then accompanied him over. In entering
the guayd-room. he took chair, and in
about five minutes was seized with a
seyere fit, and fell to the ground, cutting
his head. Physicians were soon sent for,
and he soon recovered Several fits in
quick succession followed. He was cup.
ped, d,and every remedy used without effect,
During these suferngs GARDINER called
Mr.. BRADLEY to his side, told him he was
dying, and that he died innocent. From
developments made at the post morlem
examination, there seems TO be little
doubt DR.. Gardiner poisoned himself
DR.. Miller, who was present, stated that
the peculiarity Of strychnine was that it
was taken into the circulation and acted
upon the membrane of the brain and the
spinal column. Ali the indications made
aim believe that strychnine had caused
the death of DR.. Gardiner. Several
msdical gentlemen present at the post
mortem examination, corroborated with
the testimony Of Or. Miller as to the ac
tion of the s!rychnine and the appearance
Of the body. A paper containing whit
powder was taken from his packet afte
tealh, which will be analysed, with tn
contents OF the stom ch, which are nov
in the hands of the Chemists.

bltnks,
We are much grsti6ed at the result.
Mr.. Pugh is Young man, very young for
so important an Office, but he has no ordi.
nary degree of talent. He is ready de-
batter, full of fiery eloquence, and must we
think, make his mark in the Senate.
Mr.. Pugh's age was urged as an obJec-
tior to him. but in our opinion, it is a
point in his favor. Medary, Manypenny
AMI Allen, and in fact all the aspirants ex-
cep, Pugh, were much too old for The Of.
fee. They have been so long in official
life, that all the virtues men are generally
born with, have been completely extin-
guished. As Mr.. Pugh is tut 80 years of
age, and has never been the recipient of
much Office, we may safely calculate that
he will remain honest for at least two
years of his term. We heartily glad
that in this instance the old hacks were
so beautifully headed. Young America

TERsE AND True. The Boston Courier

question Of constitutional principle in>

simply question whether the nation shall
tell lie or not mrespect to'the Missouri
Compromise. 1t Is simply question
whether the agreement we have made not
to do d specified thing shall now find US
true men or false knaves. A bargain has
been made, solemn compact entered into,
that Slavery shall not be legalized in

at this moment. without the slightest me-

in the face Of the whole world, break our
word thus solemnly given, and commit an
