The fact that all old party issues are
dead and buried needs no other condrma-
ton than the fact that they have scarcely
been so much as mentioned during the
last campaign Tho great political par
ties are therefore 70 be fought on Issues
Of the living present, No distractions or
theories either, are tho subjects Of differ
enoe and discussion. They are questions
Of present, real, direct in crest to every
voter. Tho campaign just closed has
hinged upon the great question OF the
extension Of slavery, ,--the one party en-
dorsing the policy Of Franklin Pierce, the
other contending for the immediate pro-
lection ofthe territories by laws similar to
these drafted by Thomas JolTereon and
Henry Clay. During this campaign,
however, many friends Of fre dom, at
traoted by the namo Of james Buchanan,
and his apparently non-commitlal history,
voted for him - who are now and have
beon ready to exolaim: Owe are As much
opposed to the extension Of slavery o.
you are" Il may be safely said that a
majority Of those who voted the Buch'
anan ticket in The FREQ States arc opposed
to the extension Of Slavery. This fact
indicates 10 us the condition Of things il
1860. Lei Mr. Buchanan pursue The
policy laid down 10 his platform, as b,
is pledged, and has most seryilely promis
ed, TO do. and the Democratic party vii
be reduced to the number Of lie prcsen
corrupt leaders. The Republican party
will sweep every Northern township, as
they have swept Massachusetts,. Lo
him stand upon the principles Of Jofer
son, uso his power and influence to limit
slavery and extend the area Of freedom
and the whole Republican party will On
dorse and sustain his administration.
To give the Republican platform inro
sistablo sway throughout every free Stat
in the Union, il is only necessary to dem
onstrate TO the conviction Of the poopl
the truo character, tendency and aims o
the present Buchanan party. -Four year

Fearful Case Of sOmnambulIsm.

A Piltsburg paper furnishes the par
tioulars oe fearful case Of Somnambul-
ism, that recently occurred at Oakland,
at a private residence. The account
says
{" Hearing footsteps upon the stairs
about midnight, and suspect:ug burglars
might be about the premises, the gentle-
man rose from his bed and took down o
double barreled gun, with which in bis
hand he proceeded to the door, he APP
piled his ear to tho key hole and heard
what he thought a rustling Of garments
upon the stairs. Hastily drawing chair
to the door he stepped upon it and insert
ed the gun through the transom. just
then she thought occurred to him that
il might bo his daughter, who some time
previously was addicted to walking in hel
sleep. Passing out into the hall, with
the gun still In his hand, to be used il
case circumstances warranted it, hC
found the apartment entirely vacant, and
lighting lamp he then assembled III,
stairs. Imagine his surprise and terrol
on looking out Of the chamber windows
to see among the branches Of a tall ire,
which grew there, his daughter, dressed
in her night habiliments and seemingly
utterly unconscious Of her perlious posi-.
tion. Without uttering word or making
sound calculated TO frighten her h'
stepped out Of the window himself, ant
winding one arm tightly about the wais
of the sleeping girl, he with great exer.
ton managed to regain the hall with his
precious burtheu. The surprise Of the
young lady when she awoke and wa.
informed Of her perlious adventure, ear
be better imagined than described"

DODGING a DUN.


Some know how to do il, and can
scent dun at any distance, and can
dodge him eiiectually. Itis knack &C
quired by long experience. If the dun,
however, by his experience becomes ex-
pert, the duuned stands a slim chance Of
escape. The dun becomes equally SEN
sitiye in detecting the debtor, and often
are practised between the two, maneu-
vres that would pale the reputation Of
even Napoleon himself.
We heard a story the other day Of Dr..
g., Of Portsmouth, which though not
having any very great reyalency TO the
preceding paragraph, is, nevertheless to
the point as regards amateur dunDing.-
For there Is wide difference between
the ametcur and the profe ssional
Dr.. G.. was man Of great integrity
and worth, and his business habits were
on the square-exacling that which was
his own and paying every man his due.
He held note against a gentleman OF
Hampton for some considerable amount,
and wherever he met him the doctor was
ready, note in hand for the payment OF
an instalmont. II became at last an ag
lonizing dread with the debtor about see
ling the Doctor, particularly at a time
when troubled with disease known IN
financial parance as "shorts." But when
ever he met him, the DOCTORS dun would
be anticipated by his debtors movement
for his pocket book, and frequent pay
ments were made without seeing the note
at all, or inquiring the chances Of its event
ual pavment, He knew that the doctor
was honest, and that it would be all
right, and several payments were thus
bhndly made
A great dearth Of funds made him
more shy Of meeting the doctor, and as
he passed through the town, his eyes
wandered in all directions to catch q
glimpe Of his dread, and avoid him II
possible. He succeeded admirably for
q while, and outgeneralled the old man
several times. But fate does not always
favor the brave, and the doctor from {
distant position saw his victim tie hi'
Oorse to post and enter a store. H'
made all the haste he could, and entered
the store just as his debter lodged hin
behind a rice eask
"Did'nt see Mr.. - come in here|
asked the doctor.
"He did come in here" said the shop
keer, "but he has gone somewhere now
The doctor said no was not in a hur
~, and could wait as we'll as not: he saw
his horse at the door, and thought h
would be back before long The mai
remained hid. and the dector waited {
long time. AT last he went out. Short
ly after, Mr.. - himself went out, au,
was just stepping upon his wagon, whel

"Well, Mr.. -" said he, "yor

The recollections Of hiding behind

lars, haunted the man as long as he live

Speaking Of Hail aud Watson, the
Cincinnati Commercial says:
However, II Mr.. Watson could not
procure a majority Of the votes Of the
people for place in Congress, we hold
that il is small business to take advan-
tage Of technioalities. As majority Of
the votes cast in tho ninth district were
for Judge Hall, lot the viii Of that ma.

Il is taking advantage Of no "fseAHieal-
ity ;" tho law is wholesome and ne
oesSary one. Our judge neglected his
official duties, became one Of the mos:
bitter, noisy, and blatant olectioneerers
and stump orators in the district; natu.
ralized foreign votes in the highways and
byways,-Iho papers being aais-daisd, AZ
the records show,-and by his course
untitled himself to sit as judge, evou Il
he had the inclination, We have nc
doubt that majority Of tho legal voters
Of the district prefer Mr., Watson to Hall,
and those whose rights are aaOO' cd dc

"Neyer run,
When you see a dun"


BorTLE VoYAGE.-Captain Beecher, ed
itor Of the English Nautical Magazine,
has compiled within the last ten years
the following curious voyage Of bottles
thrown into the sea by unfortunate nayi.
gators: A good many bottles thrown in
to the sea next the African coast, found
their way to Europe. The bottle seems
TO have anticipated the Aust-al Panama
route, having travelled from the Isthmus
Of Panama to the Irish coast. Another
crossed the Atlantic from, the Canaries to
Nova Scotia. Three or fourbottles thrown
into the sea by Greenland mariners on
Davis Staight, landed on the northwest
coast of Ireland. Another one made n
very curious trip; II swan from the south
Atlantic Ocean 10 the West coast of AZ
rica, passed Gibraller, went along the
Portuguese coast of France, passing Brest,
and was finally picked up on Jersey Is
land; the direct line touches at all these
places, and makes it more than probable
II took this route. One bottle was only
found after sixteen years swimming. one
after fourteen, and two after ten years.
A few only travelled more than one year,
and one only FIVE days. This last went
off by the captain of the Racehorse, on
the 18th Of April, in Caribbean Sea, and
was found on the ssd. after having gone
through three degrees Of longitude in
western direction. Captain Mcclure, Of
the Investigator, well known since the
discovery Of the North West Straight.
threw bottle into tho sea in 1850, on
his way to Behring's Strait. IL swan
$4,000 miles in 205 days, and was picked
up on the Honduras coast.

DANGER OF WEARiNG HooPs IN HIGH
WIND.--During the wind on Saturday af-
ternoon, and while the dust was oiroulat-
ing so thick that no one could see more
than the length of an eyelid in front, a
lady, dressed in the most elegant style, in
coming round ono Of the corners, was
lifted off her feet by the force Of the wind
acting on the great expanse of surface
which she presented TO it. The wind un-
fortunately did not set her down in the
same position in which she was, before
being taken up, but turning her gently
on one side, il laid her endwise on the
sidewalk, where she commenced a series
of astonishing gyrations, rolling over on
the hoops Of the skirts, and exhibiting q
species of looomotion which is not yet
generally appreciated, aud which may
come into fashion with high winds and
large oirclets Of light material. AS the
lady thus rolled over and over, several
persons were knocked down aud passed
over by the lady and by the hoops, with
out ever knowing that any thing had bent
them. Fortunately for the lady, the dust
and the aStonishment Of the people out
of doors, permitted but few to witness
lhis new method Of getting along in a
stiff breeze and keeping up full sail at
the same time. As we came round a COR
ner, We found the lady wedgod between
a lamp post and hydNnt, aud immedi-
aieiy assisted her to an upright instead Of

day for the wedding fixed, the singer was
invited TO meet large party at the house
Of a princely compeer, there 70 take her

was an elderly Duchess, Of more than

contrived to substitute one of his letters
to her written only the day before. and
speaking most slightingly Of his future
wife fora letter to be read by the hero
inc Of the play. The singer opened Il

death and breathless with emotion. This
play was brought to an abrupt termina-
tion, so were, Of course all thoughts Of
marriage. The lady has left Paris for
