Register truthfully says:
1t is great folly to suppose that the Wing
party at the North has ceased TO exist. 1t is
stronger to-day than it has been for years, in
this State. at least This Nebraska movement
has healed the breach, that existed in its ranks.
1t has removed the causes ofdisscnsiOn and il is
moving in more solid and compact column,
now than it has done for years. The PROPOSE
tion to repeal the compromise OF 1920, has done
more to build up the Wing party than could the
ordinary errors o fits opponents, do in a'decade.
We're we to look only at the grow tn and strength
ofthat party, in this State or in the whole North
were We to overlook the great moral as we'll as
political wrong pcrpetratcd by Senator Douglas
and the Administration. in their efforts to ex-
tend the institution of Slavery at the expense
of solemn compact. we should thank them for
their course. They have rot only made the
Wing party a unit, but they have divided their
own supporters, AVID given thousands upon
thousands OF recruits to the Wing ranks,
No man need trouble himself abont an cpl
taph for the "Whig party at the North" 1t is
neither dead nor absorbed 1t is full O?
healthy, vigorous life, with high hopes and great
promises for its future.
The Washington correspondent Of the New
York Express says:
You have already had something to say ofthe
daring outrage which was committed Thursday
night upon Miss O'Neill a ncice of the Presi-
dent, but the cars leaving at the moment pre-
vented any particulars. The young lady, it
would appear, was coming down Third street
The villain appeared to have been awaiting her
approach in an alley which passes through and
around the entire block of buildings. In the
lady's hand WAS her pocket handkerchief, thrO'
which her pOrt-mOnie was visible. As the lady
passed the alley, the fellow advanced quickly,
and struck a rude but not very severe blow on
her chest--at the same time Selling the kerchicf
and portmonie. The fair heroine grasped her
property and held on to it until the fellow
literally wrenched it FROM her, and then fled
through the alley. Nothing dauuted, she pur-
sued him some distance calling for help but,
unfortunately no one appeared in time to arrest
the dcpredator. Besides the property stated in
my letter, the portmone contained q valuable
diamond ring. The lady was Knocked down,
nor did her heroic spirit quail under the assault.
She appeared TO gain fresh strength with the
occasion which demanded it. Ii is the general
desire that our vigiant police may Succeed in
ferreting the villain out.
