How Mr Yeatch Stands.

AS there has been some difference of opin-
ion as to what is Mr.. Veatchs position, we
give it on one subject in very few words, and
from his own pen. A friend has taken the
liberty Of giving us the following extract from
private letter of Mr.. Veatch's addressed to
him We offer it to our readers without COM
ment:
Il am for Fremont decidedly, but have no
war to make with Fillmore or his friends !
have done all in my power to prevent any con-
tention arising between the Republicans and
Fillmore men, in this vicinity and everywhere
else that | have been. | respect Mr.. Fillmore
and regard him as an honest man, but his
position does not suit me entirely. But should
he be elected have no doubt but that l could
cheerfully support his Administration"

Anoth + Welcome to Gov. Wright!

Gov. Wright is now stumping this State in
advocacy of the principles of the Democratic
party backing the Pierce Administration and
the man, Buchanan, who promises to make
that his model, and he Cincinnati platform
We understand that in the 4 orthern part of the
State he took the position. that the whole OBJ
ject and effects of Democratic principles will
be to secure freedom in ali our territories
Well, in the North then, he IS consistent with
portion Of his past political history-and
here it is.
On the 6th of January, 1919, the Democ-
racy of the State assembled at indianapolis,
their Convention embracing more of the lead
ers of the party than had ever assembled before
at the Capital. The absorbing question was
that of Freedom in the territories 1t was
every where the topic of discussion, and all
conceded the Convention must take strong
grounds on this question. Messrs. Kent and
A. P. Willard (now Old Line candidate for
Governor,) as part of the New Albany dele
CATION. conveyed to the Convention series of
resolutions which were adopted as the basis of
the platform The committee on resolutions
presented the following on the subject of sla-
very, which were hailed with acclamation, and
adopted with an enthusiastic and unanimous
approval:
ResolUed That the Institution of slavery
ought not to be introduced into any territory
where it does not now exist.
Resolved That inasmuch as new Mexico
and California, are in fact and in law free ter
ritory, it is the duty Of Congress to prevent the
introduction of slavery within their limits.
Now mark it-this Convention nominated
Joseph A. Wright for Governor. He came
before the Convention and endorsed the reso-
lutions. He stumped the State for them, and
standing on this anti-slavery extension plat
form he was elected. In the North, he says
the whole object and effects of Democratic
principles will be to carry out precisely this
same anti-slavery extension principle. If
through the veil Of his smooth, oily, deceptive
words, an opinion can be gathered from him on
the subject here, we wish it noted, and we
shall record it.

0ETCol. Harlan made one OF his best speeches
at Henderson last Monday afternoon, before a
large crowd Mr.. Vance replied" to him
Harlan reciprocated the attention, and it is
said that Vance was literally shaken out Of his
political boots. The lesson young Kinney
gave him a couple weeks ago should have
taught him lesson. He will certainly never
again try to reply to Fillmore speech after
his rough experience with Col. Harlan.

A FUGITIVE SLAVE CAsE.-The first case

Metcalf, of Boston, on the 18th. A slave ma

was issued, and no one appearing to claim the
negro, he was set free. The ''colored popula-

The Loss OF a WIFE.

No man but one who has been called upon
to mourn the loss of a dear and beloved com.
panion, can fully appreciate the beauty and
trnthfulness of the following article, which we
copy from an exchange:
In comparison with the loss of a wife, all
other bereavements are trihing. The wife!
she who fills SO large space in the domestic
heaven; she who busted herself so unwearily
for the precious ones around her; bitter, bitter
is the tear that falls upon her cold clay! You
stand beside her coffin and drink of the past
1t seems an amber colored pathway, where the
sun shone on beautiful flowers, and the stars
hung glittering overhead. Fain would the soul
linger there-no thorns are remem bered save
those your hands may unwillingy have planted
Her noble, tender heart lies open to your in.
most sight. You think of her now as all gen
tleness, all beauty, all purity. But she is
dead The dear head that has lain upon your
bosom, rests in the still darkness upon pillow
of clay. The hands that have ministered so
untiringly are folded, white and cold, beneath
the gloomy portals. The heart whose every
beat measured an eternity of love, lies under
your feet. The flowers she bent over in smiles,
bend now above her in tears, shaking the dew
from their petals, that the verdure around her
may be kept green and beautiful"
