A BosToN n NoTIoN.-A suit of clothes
being found in Boston Common the
other day, the people were thrown into
CONSERVATION, and fancied that hor-
rible murder had been committed. The
Evening Ledger next day published the
following:
CHEM CLozEp-Wewere this morn
ing informed by the owner of the clothes
which were so systematically left upon
the Commonthe other night, that, hav-
ing purchased an entire and.new rig
out of apparel, he treated himself so
many times that he was @locked-out"
by the time he got ready to 60 to his
lodgings. This mishap led him to go
elsewhere for bed, and so he went to
the common, undressed, and put on his
whole new suit, when feeling refreshed,
and that he looked like gentleman,
he bid farewell to his old suit and went
to bed somewhere. He returns his
heartfelt thanks to the person who
found his garments and took such
humane care of them, and begs his
acceptance of the same, and also the
three-cent piece in the left vest pocket;
there may possibly-very slightly
be little more, but he'thinks not"

NESTING Or.rHr TwO sIeIERs AT PHnA

An interesting incident occurred at
the Merchants Hotel last week. Ex-
Gov. Bigler, of California, who went
to that State in 1849, and has since
been Speaker Of its Assembly, and
twice elected its Chief Executive Off
Ger, met for the first time in ten years
his younger other, VIM. Bigler, who
since then has been the Governor Of
the Keystone State, and is now a
Senator of the United States. Cali
fornia Bigler reached the shore of the
Pacific poor and friendless, and for a
long time lived in hut. Pennsvlva-
MIA Bigler was formerly a poor printer mi
boy, and the two, during their separa-
ton, in consequence of their energy
and talents, have been elevated to the
highestOfices in the gift of the people
of two of the greatest States of the
Union. What a. noble commentary
on our free institutions, and what an
inducement does this incident afford to
the poor and friendless but deseryino
youth Of our land. California Biole1I
is now generally spoken of for u S
Senator from that State, and if chosen
the two brothers win next meet as
members of the highest deliberative
body in the world.

VOICE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.

The following extracts are from the
editorial columns Of The CaroEisid
Times, 26th inst, published at Colum-
bia, S. c., by Edward Ha Britton,
official printer Of the State Of South
Carolina: . 4
THE WAsHTNsToS DIFFICULTY =
Much is said in our exchanges about
Col. Brooks and the chastisenaent which
he very properly inflicted upon Sumner.
Some of our Northern exchanges de-
nounee the conduct Of Col. Brooks as
outrageous, shameful, disgraceful and
assassin-like. The only Southern paper,
as yet which has been pleased to de-
nounce the act ssas most outrageous
assault" is the Savannah Georgian
and journal. We have no respect for
the sickly sentimentality Of such jour
nalists. The time has long since ar
rived for Southern men ii Washington
to punish their traducers. The coward
Ily Abolitionist will seek protection
under the altar, but even there he
ought to be pursued and punished =
The Senate Chamber ought not t.
deter the outraged and incensed South
ern public. Col. Brooks has ininor.
taIized himself, and he win find tha-
the people Of South Carolina are ready
to endorse his conduct. We arr
pleased with his conduct, and rejoic,
that Col. L. M. Keitt demonstrated hi
readiness to sustain Mr.. Brooks il
carrying out his vievs that the wa
ought to commence in Washington, ,.an'
we hope that arguments stronger thai
words will be used on every convenien
occasion.

EoRRrBEE MURDER---AFREsF OF THE
MURDFPFPS


MURDERERs.
We stated last week that the dwell
ling Of Mr.. Jacob Friend, a german
living in the Missouri bottom, some.
few miles below this city, vas found on
Thursday morning 10 be ih. ashes nnd
that among the smolllde1int ruins were
the remains of seven bodies which en-
brace the entire household viz: Jacob
Friend, bis wife and FIVE children
one of whom was a young woman of
II years Of age. The community was
startled at.what every one concluded
to be the most horrible of murders in
the annals of crime. The Coroner
was Summoned to The spot, and after
two days investigation the Jury Of In
quest returned . verdict that Friend
and his family came to their death by
the hand Of violence, but no discoveries
as to the iaurderers could be made.
Suspicion, however, fixed the crime
upon. one Amos Davis, bmornon; others
were BY various circumstances also sus-
pected, andsaid Davis, John Patterson,
George w. Lincoln, and Warner Hoops
were arrested. An examination COM
menced on Monday morning before
Justices Dougherty and Hughes, which
was continued till Wednesday evening.
Nothing was elected to fix the guilt
upon the parties, but itwas thought
the circumstantial evidence made out
a sufficient case to commit Davis
The others were discharged. There
was a lingering suspicion, however.
resting upon the mind Of every one
that all were guilty. This led to the
retaking of Patterson and upon this
second arrest he confessed as being q
party to the horrible deed, duplicating
Davis, Lincoln, Hoops and one
Myers. Patterson being secured il
Jail, Myers was the next to be arrested
and he was found and taken at "Unior
House, at the the steamboat landing
foot of second street. He also con
fessed his guilt and was placed in thu
Jail. Parties then started, after night
for the bottom to secure Lincoln an'
Hoops. They had not been taken VI
: to yesterday morning; the whole coun
try is in pursuit and they can hardl,
escape. Upon approaching the hous,
of Lincoln, a signal was given with
blast of the horn, which it is supposed
, was to warn the guilty of danger.
The motive prompting the prepara
ton of this. horrible deed is not full,
fathomed-whether booty OF to wreal
personal vengeance. The whole fami
Ily, seven souls, were murdered in tn
j still watches of the night and the hous
} fred over the lifeless bodies, one. "a,
f infant at the mothers breast, the re
e mains of which were found burned
crisp by the side, it is supposed, {
nj its mother.
i"Murler most foul as the best it is;
s 3 Bath most f0rl, strange, and unnatural"
Too much praise cannot be awarde
: to the coroner, officers of the law, an
+ citizens, for the untiring efforts the
have made to ferret out the guilty an
S bring them to justice.
Q P. S. Since writing the above, Lir

FOR THE CAMPAIGN

The coming political contest will be one
OF the most important ever known to the
annals Of the country. On one side, is tht
Nalional Democratic party, standing upon
the broad platform Of the constitution and
having for lis motto: "The Union and the
whole Union;'" while on the other side, is q
party made up entirely Of factions embrac-
ing every variety Of sentiment and opinion,
and having no common bond of union except
4 desire for punder. At such a time, and
when every citizen is called upon to exercise
the tight Of the elective franrhize, it is all
important that every vote should be cast in.
telligently and with a full view of The prin-
ciPles and measures advocated by every par
ty. A voter, to be SErs he is right, needs to
read both sides of every question.
At the request of number of our polt-
cal friends, We hWs sclnsIuleitli4su. the
Portage Sentinel to subscribers for the
Campaign, beginning on Thursday, the
18TH day OF June, and ending ON
Thursday, the 18th day Of NOven.
Der. 1856, at reduced rates. The first
number will contain the proceedings in full Of
the National Democratic Convention. The
Senttnel will be reliube and fearless polt.
ical Journal. 1t will also contain large
amount OF choice reading consisting OF tales,
sketches, essays, news &C., &c. twill de-
fend the principles and usages of the Dem.
ocratic party. The following radical Dem.
ocratic doctrines will be advocated;
"Equal and exact Justice TO all men of whatever
State or persuasion, religions or political"
Freedom in Rll matters of religion and conscience
freedom OF the press and general diffusion of in
formation.
No unjust distinction on account of creed or birth;
honesty and capacity the standard of merit in society
and politics.
Opposition 10 all secret political organizations
The complete separatonof Church and Stule
sacred preservation of the Consultation and the
Union Of the States.
The granting Of portion Of the public domain to
actual settlers, without regard TO creed or cline.
The right of States and Territories to administer
their own domestic affairs IN Gccordante with the aws
and Constitution OF the United States.
Opposition to monopoles Of every description.
Equal Taxali on.
rigid economy in the administration Of State and
National fairs. o.. ..-.
The foregoing doctrines are founded in
justice. If carried out in the administration
of the governme N, they will insure p"rma-
nency to our institutions aud prosperity and
happiness to the people. In their advocacy
the Sentinel will be firm aud earnest, but at
the sume time candid and courteous towards
its opponents. Let every Democrat who
cherishes the constitution and the great prin.
ciples of government, labor by every
means to secure their triumph
There is tc0rk 10 te done. One Of the best
means of securing the success of Democra,
lc principles is to circulate u fearless Dem.
