WILLIE, Dec. 2O.-The f2usselvile Herald says

lashes, when he died.
At Cadiz, Trigg Co., Ky, free negro was

During the severe gale of Saturday week,
the Niagara suspension bridge was considered
in great danger. The toll gates were fol a
time deserted, and many an anxious eye
tremblingly awaited the destruction of this
magnificent structure. The volume Of water
driven over the Falls was truly appalling, car
rying with it drift wood, logs and timbers
from the deluged wharves and shores above.
Trees were torn up,small tenements, shanties,
and outbuildings overturned, and their flag
ments strewn over the fields in every direc-
ton. But the most remarkable event is the
overthrow of the old Pagoda, which thou
sands will recollect stood on the highest point
of the battle ground, at Lundy's Lane. The
intense rocking started the inmates from the
wooden tenement at its base, and scarcely had
they made good their escape, when with a
tremendous crash, the entire tower, of nearly
two hundred feet, measured its length upon
the frozen ground, scattering its upper portion
into thousand fragments; fortunately no
lives were lost, as it fell to the Westward, in
the open fields. Had it fallen in any other
direction, it must have crushed in several
dwellings, and destroyed many lives. Within
its length, and but few rods from. its line of
fall. congregation were assembled in the
Methodist church, and their escape is cause
OF great congratulation.

FIRE IN LEIcEsTER-The dwelling house of
Levi G. Paine, in the Mulberry Grove District,
in the northeasterly part of Leicester, was discov-
cred to be on fire, about half past ten o'clock on
Sunday night, and was destroyed with wood
shed adjoining. The wood, grain, and other pro-
visions, and portion of the household furniture
were also destroyed. The house was insured for
$500, the grain for 800, and the furniture and
clothing for $3.50, all at the Merchants and
Farmers Office in this city.

Senator Bigler of Pennsylvania, supposed to be
speaking as the representative Of MIR. Buchanan,
having dared to venture the assertion, in a recent
speech in the Senate, that the President elect,
being Northern man, naturally entertained
some sentiments in common with his immediate
constituents, on the slavery question, and would
himself personally prefer that Kanzas should be
free State, the Richmond (va.) Enquirer, the
leading organ of the incoming administration at
the South takes the Pennsylvania senator to task
for SO audacious assertion as that Mr. Bu-
chanan has " single DROP OF blood in his veins
untinctured with the gall and bic of slavery, and
cracks its whip over his head in true plantation
style. The Enquirer, very Indignantly in view
of the ground on whichIthe Southern Democracy
went into the recent contest in support of their
candidate, regards such assertion on the part
of Gov. Bigler no less than high treason to the
Democratic party of the South 1t denounces
the policy thus foreshadowed as one in which
the Democracy of that section will never concur"
eff, it adds, ave are to understand that any
impedment is to be opposed to the legitimate
expansion of slavery in accordance with the prin,
ciples of the Kanzas- Nebraska act, then is Sena-
tor Bigler's speech distinct declaration of war
against irresistible majority of the Southern
Democracy"
Here we witness the clashing of the opposing
elements which entered into the late Presiden-
tia contest in support of the nominees of the Gin
cinnati platform. The South had the platform in
their favor, and supposed they would meet with
no obstacle in forcing Mr.. Buchanan to carry out
all its prrvisions to the fullest extent" Among
the plainest and most obvious provisions of that
platform, framed as it was under the immediate
supervision of the ultra slavery propagandists of
South Carolina, Virginia, Missouri, &C., was that
Of securing to the South foothold in the new
territories, by promoting " the expansion of slave
ry therein, in accordance with the principles of
the Kanzas-Nebraska act"
Hence Mr.. Buchanan's Southern supporters
very much chagrined when told that person
ally the old Sage of Wheatland has yet left one
lingering spark of humanity, not eradicated, but
which they threaten shall be erased ere he as
surnes the Presidential chair, for tbot section of
the Union in which he received his trgest vote
at the polls, the Enquirer says, ''w& pnever con.
cur" in any such sentiment. ofcoR$e, then Mr.
Buchanan will be obliged to open his veins anew
and let out that obnoxious blood, or be under the
ban of the slave power, by catering to which he
secured his election. The next thing we hear in
reference to that matter, will be. that Mr.. Blu.
chanan never entertained ''free'' thought in
his life, and that the words concerning HIM which
dropped from Gov. Bigler, in the Senate, were
mere "slip of the tongue" and uttered without
authority, Otherwise, there must soon be col
lsion in the ranks Of the great Buchanan party
of the country.

Mr.. BUCHANAN ON THE TARIFF.-To be sat
isfed that the views of Mr. Buchanan on the tariff
cannot be of the ultra free trade cast, without
coming out utterly antagonistic to his former
sentiments, we have only to recollect that he
voted for the high tariff Of 1872 and has ever, in
accordance with Pennsylvania interests, advoca-
ted protection" In 1852, Mr.. Buchanan urged
that the country should abandon the idea of
uniform horizontal scale of ad valorem duties
Whether the duties be high or low, let US, (said
he) return to the ancient practice of the govern
ment. Let us adopt wise determinations; and,
whenever this can be done, impose specific du-
ties"

The charge has repeatedly been made and
as often denied by the Democratic papers, that
the letters to and from Kanzas were opened
and read by the border rufian postmasters in
that territory and vicinity. On this point we
have the testimony of Gov. Geary, who says
"Every package addressed to me throug the
mail is broken aud inspected before it reaches
my hands. 1t is entirely unsafe to send in
formation through the Post Office, and more
especially to use that medium to forward any.
