EXCITEMENT IN NEW HAMPSHIRE"

"EXCITEMENT IN NEW HAhr Slim
"BonJardrnent of Washington Proposed! =
Such is the heading of an article IN a Ne"
York paper, purporting to give Inc PrOceeu-
ipcs of nm INDIGNATION meeting at Lumber
willie. N. H., on the 9th ult., in reference 10
,bo ir.rlt offered to the President at Wash
inpton. by an egg flung from the hand OF one
JefTsrds. The principal speaker on the occa-
sion was lothian Pierce, Esq, (no relative OF
,bo Generals since his name is spelt different
~, and its eloqucnce was received with rapt
attention and thunderous applause. We here
give with the principal parts of this remarka-
bile speech. The parallel drawn is worthy Of
Plutarch, although not precisely in his style.
can egg, fellow-citizens, has been cast up
on the lat of our honored President BY
this base act the valuable Hat of His Excel
lency has been seriously damaged, but this
insult has deeper meaning and wider range
the Government itself is insulted, and by
whom! ask, sir, by whom? Will you tell
me that the wretch who threw the egg is the
party of whom redress should be sought! |
scorn the conclusion. How would such pro-
ceedings be regarded by foreign potentates!
What would the Emperor Nicholas say to II!
The city of Washington, sir, is then respon'
sible for this insult Her inhabitants are gull
~ of the crime, and shall they escape deserv-
ed punishment! No. Let Washington like
Greytown be blotted out. Immense ap-
plause Let the world know that our Gov.
eminent, from the lowest to the highest Of
its officials, is not to be insulted with impu-
nity. Il NAV be said that some of the people
of Washington are American citizens and in
nocent of the crime. So were they of Grey
town. is there anything in the character of
the city which calls for mercy! 1T was said
of Greytown that most of its inhabitants were
peculators, disorderly persons and niggers.
Can that be denied of Washington! ask,
why should Greytown be destroyed and
Washington spared! Is the nose OF an OBJ
scure chap like Borland, of higher national
importance than the Hat of our hOnorOd Pre-
sdent! Sir, offer the following resolution :
"Resolued, In view of the enormity of the
Outrage offered to the President, Franklin
Pierce, by the City of Washington, that Sec
rotary Dobbin should be directed 20 instruct
Commander IIolirs to proceed with the sloop
of war Cyane to that city, and to open upon
it with all his guns for two hours, without
inte-mission; and in case anything should
then remain standing, to land party Of ma.
rines and burn and destroy the residue ard
remainder, unless the authorities shall hum,
bly, beg pardon of the President, and purchase
for him new Hat of such quality and cost
as he shall select and approve"

BY LYMAN w. HALL, ESQ.
"We proved fasehood upon the Editor of the
Portage Wing, and he naturally enough, feels bad
about it-bad, not that he .fb,ed, but that he WIS
detected and exposed. Not having the maniness
to retreat or correct his false statements, as tn,
next best thing he can think of he INDUCES in an
amiable complimentary notice of the Editor Of the
Star True, he is rather awkward in his compli-
mentary effort, as he is in most of his literary un-
dertakings, nevertheless, he ought to be encourag-
ed in so fine an exhibition if the gentleman and
scholar, yea, and of the christian too, for we
learn that he says grace at meals, and saoedrS in
the streets,) and we shall feel encouraged to con-
tinue to expose his Gctions, that he may have II
proper inducement before him, to endeavor to
patch up his morals, which, (truth to say, the gen.
eral impression s) have become rather shabby.
We understand that he contemplates adding
Preaching to his other numerous engagements
Having SO far, had good success in borrowing
editorials and in borrowing sermons, he thinks he
can turn his hand with equal success to either
editing or preaching. And we don't know but he
can."-Ohio Star, August IA, 1850.

OF The motion to refer the Nebraska bill to
the Committee Of the Whole, in the House, is
taken as evidence of its defeat is that body. The
motion for that reference was made by Mr.. Cut
ting, of New York, who avowed himself in favor
of the principles of the BILL but desired to have il
freely discussed, believing that nothing was nee
essary to commend it in its essential features, to
the people of the North as well as of the South
but proper understanding OF its merits and bear
ings. The Journal of Commerce says:
"The reference OF the bill to the committee oi

course, If majority of the House SO eject. IT il

tions (mtary) OF the allies. According to the
information it announces; there were at that mo.
ment ten powerful English war steamers assem-.
bled at Spithead, about to sail for the Baltic.
Their mission was to cruise within striking dis.
tance OF the Russian Baltic feet bound up In the
ice, and to destroy those vessels, seriaim, us tho
ice parting permitting them to be reached AZ.
ter doing that they were to storm Cronstadt calcu.
Iating certainly on gaining possession Of that for.
tress thus, though some pronounced 1t impregna.
BILE. At Cronstadt they are to be joined by q
large fleet Of smaller war steamers and transports
with which they propose actually to storm and
burn ST. Petcrsburgh! 1t is understood that
comparatively few English troops will proceed
to Constantnople. leaving the land operations on
that line almost entirely to the French"
The success of such plan. with the numbeg
OF vessels above named, may we'll be doubted.--.
Russia has now in the Baltic three several squad,
rons of nine men-of-war each, hearing from so to
l2o guns, nesldes SIX trlgates, and numerous
smaller craft. Ten English war steamers can.
not cope with such forces, which may easily bs
combined Besides the present naval force OF
Russia in the Baltic, by recent ukase, twelve
more irgates OF large class are to be immsdl.
ately fitted out in the Baltic ports. 1t is probs.
Bile however, that with the far superior skill OF
English sailors, one British war steamer would
be as effective as two Russian line-ot-ba,tia
ships. '
| The taking of Cronstadt would be task prob. !.
ably too great even for the English navy. Hia
one of the most renowned and apparently i'm.
pregnable Notifications in the world. Several
thousand cannon, mortars and Paixhans guard
the entrance to its harbor, and no expense has
been spared to render it a perfectly secure rem.

naval ports of the Baltic belonging to Russia
are Reval and Helsingfors, both very strongly
fortified. The British fleets will find employ.

ports. As to st. Petersburg it 10 too far mp the

AGair.-A Maniac Mur-
ARRaRl

A melancholy transaction occurred al the resi-
dence of HORACE ENSIGN, of Rootstown, in this
county, on Wednesday last. A man by the name
of Chittenden, for several years has lGbJred
under severe attacks Of epilepsy, producing peri
odicol insanity.
His arrangement recently has assumed des-
perate character, rendering him furious, blood
thirsty, seizing every opportunity when thus af-
fected, to do all the injury in his power On the
goth inst, his physician. Dr. PRICE, Of Randolph,
was attacked by him while prescribing for his dis
order, knocked down, kicked and beaten without
mercy. The next night he attacked the house of
Mr.. Stanford, beating in one of the windows with
"a club, and fourishing knife swore he would
murder the family, Said he "thirsted for blood,
and blood he would have" He was prevented
from doing further injury at that time, and from
there he went to the house of Mr.. Terry, on the
same errand, but was kept at bay. From there
he ent to Mr.. Wares, inquired for Mr. w., was
told by his wife that he was absent He replied
that he must 60 too. Instead of leaving the prem
ises, however, he went round to the other side cf
the house, broke in the east window and entered
the house, seized chair and broke in the north
window, and attempted to break the chamber door,
which Mrs. w. and her two daughters within
were holding to prevent his entrance. Failing in
this he took brand of fire from the stove, threw
it on the floor, and collecting some clothing which
he found in the room he threw it on the fire he
had kinded, and returned through the window he
had entered. The fire was extingushed with tri-
fling loss.
The maniac having gone from there to the house
Of Mr.. Sabin, he broke in and said 81 have got
you now." Mr.. s and wife fled in their night
clothes to their neighbors, Mr.. Shewell's, Chit
tenden following in pursuit. On arriving at Mr.
s., he broke in two windows, but was met by a
blow from Mr.. S., and notice that he would
shoot him if he came further, when he retreated.
On the next morning, between daylight and
sunrise, Mr.. Ensign, hearing noise in his wood
house, went in search of the cause of it, and on
opening the door, received blow on the head
with an axe, in the hands Of Chttenden, inhicting
frightfu wound, pairing off portion of the scalp
and skull some two or three inches in diameter.
Mr.. E. called for help, and Mr.. Deming and Mr..
Shewell being close at hand, gave immediate as
sistance; and, after after violent struggle, sue
ceeding in fastening the maniac's arms, so that he
would be prevented from doing further injury.
During the scuffle he aimed blow at Ensgn's
head with the axe, which was warded off by Mr..
Deming; but one more successful struck Mr.. En-
signs daughter, who was endeavoring to get her
little brother away from danger, prostrating her
senseless on the floor, with the child unhurt in
her arms. A ightfu wound was inflicted, and
the skull desperately fractured, leaving no hopes
of her recovery.

01r The late Home Companion and Wing, in
its farewell address, tells its readers that the con-
cern into which it is to be "fused, will advocate the
principles of both the Wing and Star. What a
medley that will be! Let us see. The Wing was
the advocate of the principles of the Fillmore ad-
ministration and of the Baltimore Convention that
nominated Gen. Scott; the Star denounced those
principles and the men who sustained them. and
went its length for the principles of the Pitts
burgh Convention, which were the very opposite
of the former. 1t will take Hall to ride both of
those nags. Nothing short of a janus-faeed hyp-
