Know No1HtNG Mon At RoCnEsTER.-The
New York Americans are sadly damaging
the prospects Of the party in all the other
free states Their bitter persecution of Will
liam Ill. Seward and prescription of all who
would not prescribe him, lost them the SYM
patty OF all earnest and true friends of free
dom in the North, and they have resorted to
mobilize interference with the rights of
free discussion at Rochester, which will
bring the actors and nbetturs into serious dis
repute with right-mindcd people everywhere.
Some 500 people Of that city and vicinity
called II public meeting of all persons OPP
posed to secret political associations. The
leaders in the movement were Seward wings.
The know nothlncs made arrangements IN
their secret councils to attend. overpower
and break up the meeting. They succeeded.
by going early, in filing the han and orgaas-
lied in advance Of the presence of the real
getters up Of the meeting. When the latter
came and saw how they had been outwited,
they called their meeting in another hall
but many of the know nothings followed
there, and by misses, grUans and every variety
Of coarse Interruptions intertered with the
speeches, and endeavorcd to break up the as
stmblace. In this last. however, they were
not successful, and the anti-know nothings
had spirited series of speeches and rcsou-
tons, condemnatory Of - Hindoo' oaths and
secret conversations and vulgar prescriptions

To the Editors Of the Burlington Free Press:
In your PAPER Of to-day, | noticed article
titled "Thc other side Answrod." In that article it
is stated by those whose appended, that
they have the proofs for each and every charge
made gainst JoHS BRowy in their "Cauiion to the
from the evidences of total depravity which they
have already exhibited, that they prove any
statements which they have made, or may hereafter
find it necessary to make, in order to screen them
selves, if they be witnesses, and if they should
be believed. The statement that they called upon
me, and that agreed to pay for all and every arti
Gle of goods money, which they could show into
his hands that had not been accounted for, is true
but that did SO on condition that they would not
expose my son, is not true. That my in my
presence and theirs, admitted that certain articles,
list of which they presented, were bou ght in Bur-
lington and paid for in money, is true but my son
never admitted, and they never have proved, that
these articles were purchased with their money. 1t
is true also, that did for the sake of avoiding
law suit, allow them out Of Johns wages, all they
claimed, but with the express statement before wit
nesses who can be produced at any time, that l did
not admit the claim to be just but allowed it for
the sake of peace, and to avoid lawsuit. After
passing receipts in full Ofall accounts and demands
known to exist between us, to the date of this set
Element, did voluntarily give them a writing, stat
ing that if it could hereafter be shown conclusvely
that John had used any Of their money. or goods,

upon members the refusal Of the House to
enforce the attendance Of witnesses and the

questions which no honest man could be
afraid Of all these give color to the accu-
sations that are ringing through the land and
are destroying the confidence the people in
their government.
II is charged and VIC are sorry to believe
that il is true, that measures are carried
through Congress by sheer bribery, not merely
by bribery in the promises of office and the
distribution of patronage, but bribery in its
lowest FORM the payment Of money. Cases
are named in which great sums have been
expended to secure the passage Of private acts.
and lobbying and boring and brihinG have
been reduced to profession. 1t is not strange
that when members Of Congress are the men

HORRIBLE Discovery TN Persons PER
IsHED on THE PRAIRIEs We are furnished
Ivy II gentleman from Lafayette, Ind, with
the details of Il rumor current in that city on
Thursday, which fills the mind with horror,
in view Of tie sutftrings Of the party to whom
it refers. We only hope that the rumor may
prove exaggeration, ii not unfoundcd it
is possible that it is only IL highly seasoned
rehash of the account of the loss Of a family
between this city and Galena, published in
the Press of the 10th inst
On the Saturday preceding the memorable
storm OF the DIST of January, two families,
numbering ten persons, moving from southern
Indiana to northern Illinois, arrived at Ok
ford, the county seat of Benton county, Ind.
about forty miles northwest Of Lafayette.
with two OK teams. and we'll provided with
accessories for the road. They remained
there through the storm, and on Monday
morning resumed their journey. Last Tues
day morning Il man passing over the prairie,
only about five miles from Oxford, came upon
sight which filed him with horror.
The carcases of two oxcn from which the
yiscera had been removed, lay upon the
ground. Inside of one of them were the
frozen bodies of four children, and in the
other the frozen corpse of the mother with
nursing infant at her breast. t der the snow
was heap of ashes in which the iron of the
wagons showed that the party had broken
them up, and burned everything they had
in them, in the effort to save their lives. Not
far from this spot was found the body of the
other woman Of the party, partly concealed
in a snow drift, and near her, one of the men.
/ The two other men had not been found,
1t is probable that the party became inex-
tricably involved in the snow drifts on the
/ bleak prairie and lost their presence of mind.
After burning up their wagons it would seem
that the men had killed two Of the oxen for =
shelter TO those found in them, and then, ac-
companicd by one woman. vainlv cndeavored
TO reach the town they had left, and procure
aid to rescue their companions. The two
other oxen had wandered off. There was
nothing about the persons to indicate who
they were, and nothing more is known about
them than was accidentally communicated by
them during their brief stay at Oxford
