SUICIDE.-Michael MCLAUGHLIN, Ions

SUICIDE Michael Mclaughlin, long a
residence of this place, and recently depu-
ty tax collector for the county, committed
suicide on Sunday last, by taking laudanum.
For some time past, he has been supposed
by his friends to be laboring under mental
arrangement, and on three previous occa-
sons has attempted to make away with
himself Possessed Of a most powerful con-
stitution. he bore up against the effects of
the poison for seven or eight hours, but after
a severe battle, life yielded and death came
off victorious.
After swallowing the laudanum, he lock-
ed himself up in his room, and refused ad-
mittance to ALL The door was finally bro
ken open, and he was found in a state of
partial stupor. He would, however, allow
no assistance, and resisted with the desper-
alton of an insane man, all who attempted
to relieve him. He became gradually stu
pefied, and died about four o'clock, in the
afternoon. A letter, Of which the following
is d transcript, was found in his room:
NENADA, Sunday.
Father, Mother and NJ. j. Stevens-I
love you all three, with my sisters. May
God bless you.
| am in my wrong sphere Those that
know me are not here, and those that do not
know me, do not understand me.
M. MCLAUGHLIN.
The above was probably written after he
had taken the poison, and evinceS to those
acquainted with him misanthropic spirit
which has for several months seemed to pos
sess him.
He was buried on Tuesday, from the Me-
tropolis hotel. Nevada Democrat.

few numbers Of the Telegraph" contain
call from the Republican Central Com
mittee' of Meigs county for Mass Meet
ing, to be held in the Courthouse, on Fri
day, the 9Th Rroximo.
"Where did tile Republican party come
from? Where is it bound for? and who are

I. The Republican party came from the

8. Freemen are those who refrse to bend
their nccks to receive the yoke Of the slave
drivers of the South, and who will rot do
the dirty work of these southern masters, OF
bow down and worship the Slave Power, fol
all the loaves and fishes of Executive pat
ronage. They believe that in Republican
government, Freedom should be the ral
and Slavery the exception, and their aim il
to make Freedom National and Slavery sec
tional. While they do not seek to meddl,
with Slavery in the states where by law j
now exists, they will use every Law full mean
to prevent its spread over another inch o
territory consecrated to Freedom.
A. They oppose the "Slave Democracy
instead Of the Free Democracy, because tn
latter are their friends and allies, and til
former their natural political enemies
