Hon. Geo. G. Dunn faith sul to Fillmore.

We make the following extract from a de-
bate in the House a lew days ago:
Mr.. Dunn said he came here with high ex-
pectations A voice" No doubt of that
that the Missouri restriction wonld be reste-+-
ed. He was exceedingly sorry they had grown
smaller and smaller until they were entirely
dissipated. He was persuaded no effor would
be made to restore 1t, and there could be no
peace in this country till that was done in sub
stance or fact. The North and South must
remember this--until the question Of indIvid-
ual safety in Kansas is settled, no appropna-
ton bills should be passed. Several voices
That's right !' THAT'S the talkh' The
only way to insure compliance is to stop the
wheels Of the Government. and we will give
them some trouble while they are rolling us
to the Presidency. lie sooull not 60 for Buciara-
an nor Fremont but for the man hUing in Neto
York as the only one a0bose election could give
promise Of peace.
The Vincennes Gazette of Tuesday says
Mr.. Dunn has telegraphed home that the Mis-
souri, Compromise would be restored in less
than Two weeks. We presume he means the
House will vote for it's restoration. We doubt
it. Mr.. Dunn is our most talented member Of
Congress, and we are glad to perceive his voice
is for Fillmore.

Sad Accident,

Mr. Hurry, formerly of the Hurry House
in this city and for many years resident of
Wabash, met with serious accident on the
excursion trip to Indianapolis Tuesday. He
was on one of the open cars in the rear of the
train, and having a sudden attack of diarrhoea
he started for the end Of the car, with the OBJ
vious intention of getting off. The tram was
going at the rate of about thirty miles an hour,
and one or two persons took hold Of HIM, re-
m nstrating upon the suicidal folly of the at
tempt, hut the old man eiuded their grasp, and
swinging himself over the end of the Car, he
held on for moment, released his hold and
fell upon the track. Ills head struck the cross
ties, and he lay motionless upon the track I'M
Til the train turning slight curve hid him
from view. The train was not stopped until
its arrival at louisville, about mile and a half
distant, when a hand car was Immediately dis
patched to the scene of the accident. The
O d man was found in an insensible condition,
his skull fractured and his face horribly mu
tilated. He was still living yesterday, but
there is the bareSt possibility of his recovery.
