Davis and Broome.


We unfold to day our banner in favor Of the Hon.
GARRETT DAVIS, of Kentucky as President, and Of
the Hon. JACOB BRooME, Of Pennsylvania as Vice
President of the United States. We shall in a
future number give the reasons for our preference
of these two distinguished citizens for the elevated
Positions which they would adorn by their patriot
ism and talents There is no one who holds in
Kentucky a loftier position as a Statesman and
patriot than Garrett Davis His name is not only
precious to the citizens of Kentucky, but to the
people of other states and his past career, SO re-
markable for ability, enlarged and independent
thought, and every quality that adorns the true
statesman, is prophetic of what would be his action
if elected to the highest position in the gift OF the
people. The Hon. Jacob Broome stands high IN
the affections of the citizens of Pennsylvania he
is possessed Of that talent and energy, which
characterize the inhabitants of the Keystone State
He has long been known for his sterling character,
his patriotism, his talents and his presidents au-
thorise the belief that he would faithfully fulfill the
duties of Vice-President.
We then nail our banner to our masthead and
wait to see what the gallant sons Of the West,
the Middle States, and the Union, will say to our
choice

A DUEL IN THE QUAKER CITY-One of the
Heroes Taking to has Heels.-On Thursday after
noon, one of those ridiculous exhibitions styled,
satrically, ga hostile meeting" took place be-
tween two young men Of this city, one boarder
at Jones' Hotel, and the other a soourner at the
United States. We suppress the names out of pity
for the parties. The two young gentlemen had
quarrel on Thursday morning, in the course
of which one of the parties called the other a
Coward" Hereupon the gentleman to whom the
epithet was applied, felt called upon to send a
challenge to "pistols and coffee" The challenge
was accepted, and meeting was arranged to take
place somewhere in the vicinity of Girard College.
But this was considered dangerous ground, and the
scene was changed near Camden.
The seconds had resolved to treat the affair as
joke, and the pistols were loaded accordingly, with
out any missile that could create call for the
surgeon. The belligerents were escorted to the
ground before mentioned, and the ordinary prepa-
rations made for fight. In the meantime the young
gentleman who had applied the epithet of coward,
began to think the affair had just gone far enough
and Acres like, was indsposed to face the music
He was seized with SILVER, and his courage left
him at every pore. But the tremendous words
Zone" "two," were spoken; three" was about
to be pronounced when our trembling friend drop
ped the pistol, and took to his heels. He never
stopped until he was safe on board the ferry boat
and under the protection Of the captain.
