A High Compliment to John G
Breckinridge.


Hayrer's Magazine for October, nov
Just published, under the head of Dan
lei Webster's Social Hours" contaius
deserved compliment to Mr.. Breckiu
ridge, the Democratic candidate for thu
Vice Presidency. 1t is worthy of reprinr
and extended circulation. The article
states that a charge has been made ii
the house of Representatives of Congress:
that Mr.. Webster, while Secretary oil
State, diverted a large portion of the
secret service fund at his disposal. A
Committee of the House, of whom Mr..
Jefferson Davis, now Secretary of War,
was one, investigated the charge, and
made q report entirely exculpatiug Mr..
Webster from the charge. The article
thus proceeds:
"The evening of the day the report
was made, some two or three gentlemen
met at supper at n of the luxurious
tables of our political metropolis, and
this subject eventually came up for dis
cussiou. There were men of both polit-
zeal parties present, and at the time par
ty spirit ran high; therefore the eonver-
sation became animated and somewhat
desultory. A friend of Mr.. Webster's
remarking that, whatever diversity of
opiuion might exist as to the merits OF
Webster, the time would soon come
when it. would be held the greatest non
or to have been a native of the same
country Sir replied a person of rath-
er a s%aturnine complexion, but marked
-coantenanee. who had taken TO part in
the previous discussion, Sir, that time
has come. 1 will not acknowledge that
man an American who docs not nOaO glo-
~ in the name of Daniel Webst r
Snall nen may hope greatness by at
lacking him, but I tell you, gentlemen,
that he is as far above their rank as the
orbed moon above the dog that howls at
her path in the heavensl;
"a Who asked the writer Of a friend
near him, 8 who is that determined look
ing man Don't you know him p
Why that is the gallant Breckenridge
from Kentucky, fresh from his %laurcls
in Mexico. A young man, but of char
actir beyond his years'"
This being related in the presence If
Mr.. Webster, he replied Though per-
seuaily unarquainted with Mr.. Brock;n-
ridge, he knew his descent and rcpu;a-
tion, AID could lot but feel deeyly grafe-
full for such q sentiment frou a political
opponent"
The article eonciud s: at is tie
same person VINO. refining to return to
the Hnuse in which he Lad;Gistinguished
himself as a leader, and refusing tie
mission TO Spain, which so many much
longer in public life were striving for,
returned TO his home iG Ke ,tucky, with
no other ambition than of gaining an
honest livelihood by his professional
pursuits. But great moral and intellect
ual excellence is not given to man al1nc
for his own qualification, or for the lin
tied advantage of bis family. They be-
lo"g to the country which has given him
birth, and John G. Breckenridge is, with
evident propriety, the candidate of his
party for the second Office in the gift Of
the people, the Vice Presidency of the
United States"

Editor Ashland Union : Sr

EQlG0r ASnlanQ Union . SIR :-AS you
appear to be laboring with commenda6le zeal
to keep your readers posted in regard to all
matters affecting their political, social and Pc
cuniary welfares, permit us to call their atten-
ton to the fact that we have Just received the
heaviest stock of Spring and hummer Goods
that we have ever brought to this market. An
extended enumeration of our stock we deem
altogether unnecessary for the reason that eve
ry one who will favor us with a call will find it
complete in every department. We would
simply simply say that it embraces articles oil
every style, variety and quality of Ladies
Dress Goods, and Gentlemen's Summer Wear.
together with n large assortment of House
Keeping Goods, Q~uecnsware, Groceries,, dc.
Having changed our mode of doing business,
it will be proper for us to state, for the salts
faction CT our old customers, briefly, our rea-
sons for so doing. Our first great object Is to
sell goods CHEAP. To do this we must have the
money to buy our goods cheap. We wish to
avoid The losses of bad debts and " long wind
cd " customers; We wish to save the expense
of keeping books and making collections. BY
so doing we can and will sell goods at much
less profits than is possible for any credit store
to do LIST, because we shall have the money
to buy our goods, which will save us 10 per
cent, 2nd, because we shall save the expense
of one Clerk Sd, We will save 5 per cent. for
mailing collections, losses by bad debts and
axpense of books. All things considered. We
think it SAFE to say that it will make az differ
eIee of at least ID per cent. to the consumer
This being true we think every man, woman
and child whs can pay for their goods, will
avail themselves of the advantages of this sys'
tenn. Those who meyer expect to pay, for their
goods, of course care bit little about the price
All those who wish to buy goods cheap for rea
dy pay can find a stock pf goods which Tor va
riety, styles and low PRICES, has never been
equaied in the County, by calling on the'l
friends and well-wishers,

a Thorough E1posure Of the Kansa.
Hiau6ng. an Old Citizen of Logan
County makes a Statement!
Mr.. John Houtz, one of the oldest
and most respectable citizens of Logan
county, has just returned from Kansas,
and makes this statement:
When / first went to Kansas, and as
long as / remained there was no distur-
bance came to my knowledge; and my
self aud SOP, while travelling through the
territory on foot, though we often met
with the so-called "border rufians,''
were never disturbed in the | asst. /
satisfied myself that the majority of the
actual settlers were Free State men,
who were perfectly satisfied that SO long
as they attend to their own affairs, and
did not meet with any disturbance from
the Missouriars
l did hear that Lecompton had been
burnt aud sacked but afterwards found
that the whole report originated from
the burning of shanty put up by q man
on a claim about a mile from town. He
Lad built a shanty, aud left to bring on
his family; and while he was absent
some n set fire to it.
There was, also, one murder COM
mitted while I was, there; but the par
ties were both CaliforniaDs one having
returned sometime ago, and the other
recently. On meeting, one swore he
would kill the other, and when he left,
followed him over a rise outside of town,
shot, and it was said scalped him, and
oo-.ol H. coal. o.ror -, lie -oaI-ak
We saw plenty of Border Rufians"
who treated US like gentlemen, giving
US all the information we asked them
for, we doing the same in return-so far
as we could-Nh hen they would pass
peaceably along. So far from the "Bor-
der Rufians' interfering with the Free
State men, 1 noticed them the Free
State mem busily and cheerfully at
work, on the confines of Missouri; aud
a single one that I conversed with
had the least fear as to the final peace
and prosperity of the Territory. l was
really astonished while on my way back,
to hear of the awful things that had &C.
CURED, according to report) while I
was there; when 1 knew there was not
a word of truth in any of them.
My belief is from what L SAW while
there, that as many Free State men as
wanted to, might 60 to Kansas and set
tie, without being disturbed, or their
politics even inquired about, if they
would 60 to work, or attend to their
business, and do nothing against their
pro-slavery neighbors, who were kind
and hospitable, and perfectly willing to
give me all the Information about the
country they could.
The above is a plain statement of
as 1 know them to have been
when 1 was there, and 1 am sorry that
persons should so much believe me as to
circulate a report that what [ had seen
Kansas had made a Fremont man out
Of me. l have this much to say In con-
II 1 had gone there a Free
man, l would have returned a Blu
man. JOHN HOUTZ.

From the Hillsborough, o., Cazcttc.i
Testimony of an Eyewitness.

The following is the testimony of q
responsible gentleman of this county,
Uho has just returned from a %so-jnurn
in Kansas. 1t is enough to brand all
the Black Republican lies about Kansas
at once, aid 10 expose the object for
which they are circulated:
GREENFIELD, o, Sept. 20, 1856.
Mr. j. G.. DonEN-Dcar Sir: For
county aud in justice TO myself. L will
say to you that the opposite parties are
circulating false statements i'll regard to
Kansas, aud that 1 have forsaken the
Democratic party and am going to vote
for Fremont, which is not true. l am
going to vote for James Buchanan, ard
l would advise every one else to do so.
l returned from Kansas a few weeks
siuce. l travelled in company with two
others, in a wagon, some three hundred
miles through Kansas; we visited all
the principal towns in the Territory,
and got along without any difficulty, be-
ing we'll treated by all. We frequently
expressed ourselves as being free State
men, and no man who goes there and
behaves himself is likely to get into diff
fcultE, l believe that the most of the
difficulties in Kansas have been kept up
for an e~lcctioneering hobby, ard much
exaggerated by the time they get here.
l would say to those who are induced to
support Fremont because of the Kansas
difficulties, to consider we'll before 70
ting, or they may have cause to regret
their course.
Yours respectfully,

Tom Corwin on the Stump at
Last. Out for Fillmore, Down
on Fremont.

The great Fillmore meeting at Car
thage, O., was addressed by j. ScoTT
HARRIsoN, the son of "Old Tip" and
the Hon. Thomas CoRwIN, the "Ohio
Wagon Boy" We have the speech en-
tire in the Cincinnati Times of the 18th.
The gathering was immense; the enthu-
siasm unbounded, and of the speech of
Mr.. Corwin the Times remarks:
"Some eight years ago, Hon. THOMAS
CoRwIN retired from public life, with
the determination never to again ad-
dress a political gathering. But IN this
critical condition of the country, it be-
comes every patriotic man to define his
position, and to reflect well upon his
action in the coming election. There
fore, Mr.. CoRwIN determined to express
his opinion upon the political aspect of
affairs, particularly as his position has
been grossly misrepresented by the Re-
publican party. OF the place which
Thomas CoRwIN holds in the hearts of
our Western people, particularly the
people of O;.io, it would be s~uperhuous
for us to speak. He is to-day the most
poruIar. as be is the most able, man in
Ohio, aud his testimony given in behalf
of Millard Fillmore, will have a mighty
influence upon the Presidential election
I'VE have here the deliberate opin-
ions of another old Wing. a statesman
of national reputation, whose clarion
voice has so often been beard in Ia
tional councils, and whose clear judg-
ment ripened by the political experience
of thirty years, claims the earnest res
pect of his fellow citizens. Now in the
calm autumn of life, when be has no
longer any political preferment % desire
Oh expect, and no ambition to crafty,
he comes before his old friends, With
xhom he has fought go many political
battles, and the yong men who are soon
to assume the destinies Of the country
to warn them against the inevitable
evils Of bitter sectional dispute"
