FREMONT AND PETER FARLEY.

Mr.. s. G. Goodrich, familarly known as Peter
Farley, gives the following description of Col
Fremont: cit is true, as you suppose, that
knew Mr.. Fremont at Paris. lie was there for
several months while was consul, and had f, G.
quent business at the consulate. also met him
in society. He is about forty-three years old.
tall and slender, of modest demeanor, and of
quiet, unobtrusive manner. At first, he makes
no strong impressions upon you, but in conversa-
ton, by degrees, you come to the conclusion that
you are in the presence Of no common man.
There is deep integrity of expression in his eye,
which, taken in connection with his calm, mca-
sured words, forces upon YOU the conviction that
his extraordinary course is but a just reflection
Of his inherent character. UnAinch:ng courage,
fixed purpose, patience that conquers difficulties,
a mastery of himself, which enables him to mas
ter others, are the qualities which acquaintance
with him, as we'll rs the events Of his life, emil
nenty display. These are the impressions re-
ceived in Paris, and hence it has not at all sur.
prised me to find many minds turning towards
Mr.. Fremont for the Presidency. He has un-
doubtedly those qualities of tirmnoss and decision
which emincntly fit him for the administration of
public affairs. He is not a man to be wheedled !;
he is pure, amiable, and incorruptibls in private
life, and wherever be is placed, he will not, if
judge him rightly, depart from that sound moral
ity which thus forms the basis of his character

a GIRL MURDERED BY HER LOVER

~ GIRL MURDERED BY HER LOVER
A mos: horrible and celd-boodcd murder
Avas committed. OH Monday last, in Nick, an
township in this county. about ten miles from
Erie. The victim was "A young grl, named
Calista Cornelia Allen, aged about fifteen, the
daughter of George Allen OF Mexican The
murderer was young man Of abou, 35, Wal
ter Hayt by name, who lived in the same
peighborhood The circumstances, as nearly
as we can learn them, are these: Hayt had
for some time entertained passion for Miss
ellen, and had made propositions OF marriage
to her and he alleges Tor he coniesses the
crime and he motives that induced him to it J
that she had promised TO marry him !; tina, they
haG several times agreed upon day for the
consumnlaton OF their union, but that she had
III each case postponed it till another; and that
the very day on which he committed the hor-
rble deed had been appointed by previous ar
rangenent. as their wedding-day. On the
other hand, her family state that she had never
been engaged 10 him and had no intention of
marrying him, but had always considered and
treated his attentions as u persecution. There
is little doubt that this is the fact; and both his
age and unseemly appearance, as well as her
extreme youth, would seem to confirm it. "
Hayt confesses that he had preG,editaled the
deed for several days, and debated with him
self for some time whether to kill the girl or
hinIlf; GNi finally settled down on her de-
strIc,ion, provided she again refused He
therefore provided himself with a Colts re.
vover, and went to Mr.. Aliens house abou, 9
o'clock in the afternoon Of Monday. He found
the youthful and innocent object of his passion
and malice alone, though her mother was in or
near THO. house. He again pressed his propo-
siton OF marriage. She again refused, and
told him that she would not marry him, nor
did'she wish any further attentions from him.
She was sitting Ill a chair, and he Instantly
drew his revolver and shot her through the
the head. She fell upon the floor; but there
appearing to be still signs Of life, he raised her
up. and. laying her Oh sofa. shot her IA
second time through the head. At this instant
her mother appeared at the door and raised
the cry of murder. The maddened wretch
turned upon her aud, as she ran, fired at her
twice, bu, neither OF the shots took effect. He
then attempted TO escape, bu, seeing persons
following him, he stopped and gave himself up.

concerning the terrible crime that he has COM

BARGAIN AND CORRUPTION.

BARGAIN AND CORRUPTION.
s Ifneither Of the thrse candidstss for the Pres-
idency should recsive q minority 81 the whole
electoral vote and the election should devolve on
the House Of Representatives, what, judging from
Mr.. Buchanan's autecedents could be the course
he would pursue? If he would counsel 'sbargain,
intrigue, and corruption"t to secure the election
of the stern old patriot, ANDREW JACKSON. to what
depths Of moral and political msanness would he
not resort, under similar circumstances, to secure
his own elevation to th,t exalted and. honored
position? Let General Jackson's own language
warn the nation against placing Mr.. Buchanan
in Il position where. moral courage will be
wanting: a7t#a e4f
atat HERMITAGE, February g, 1915.
Your observations with regard to Mr.. Buchanan
are correct He aioUed q ,cant of moral courage
in the affair OF the intrigue of Adams and Clay
did not do me justice in the expose he then made,
and am sure about that time did betieve there
was perfect understanding between Adams and
Clay about the Presidency and the Secretary of
State. This | am sure Of. But whether he viewed
that there was any corruption in the case or not,

If MIR. Buchanan could urge upon General
to adopt such an infamous course of poll
icy in his case, is it doing the slightest injustice
to Mr.. Buchanan in spuposing that he, being
place. in precisely the same circumstances, would
do in his OUn what he had urged General
Jackson to do in his case? If General Jackson's
evidence is taken, and no dare insinuate that
Andrew Jackson ever told in untruth, in the event
of the coming Presidential election being thrown

would have no scruple, in purchasing the votes

The N. Indspssd ent, the organ of the Con-
gregationelists OF The United States, is decided
in it, support of Fremont. It runs the follow
ing parallsl betwss0 Washington and Fremont !:
II is sonswhat curious to notice the striking
Republican Captain, and that of him whom our
fathers took as their leader, in the first great
struggle for Liberty on this continent. A part
of these have been noticed by the papers, and by
speakers. Others we have not seen referred to-.
They are interesting and suggestive. Washing
ton was left in childhood, by the death in his
father, to the charge of his mother, Fremont was
SO likewise at IA still earlier period, and in cir
cninstances certainly much less auspicious.--
Washington had early q passion for the sea, 40
strong that midshipnan's warrant was obtained
for him by his friends. Fremont went to sea, and
was employed for more than twp years. Wash
ington was introduced to public life through his
service on the frontiers, as u surveyor and CIVIL
engineer. Fremont won his discipline and his
early fame in the same department, and by his
use and practice in it became fitted in mind and
BODY, to isendurc hardness Washington learned
all that he knew of war, in Indian combats and
in the strife of the wilderness, and rose thus to
the rank of Colonel in the provincial troops.
Fremont's school was the same, and he has
gained the same rank. Washington had had
small experience legislator, until he was
called to the head of the Goyernment. He was
taken for his well tried general qualities, and not
for any distinction he had achieved as diplo.
matist or Statesman; and here again the pafal-
lei holds. Washington was sneered at by the
men of routine, was hated ana assailed BY the
Tories of that day, soldier who had s'never
set squadron in the field - until his energy and
patience drove them all out of it, The same
class Of attacks are now made on Fremont to
be answered, we trust, in the same impressive
way. His friends early felt that Washingt n
was specially fitted and preserved of Providence
to become the head of the nation the Rev
Samuel Daviess expressed it, that 6 Providence
has hitherto preserved him in SO signal manner
for some important service to his country" The
same expectation, becoming almost Fremont.
ton, has for years been general among the
friends of Fremont. DIR. Robertson, his early
teacher expressed it in the preface to his edition
Of the Anabasis published years ago in these
words: "Such my Young friends is an impcr
feet sketch of nv once beloved and favorire pu
pill who may yet rise to be at the head of THU
great Republic. My prayer is that he may b,
ever opposed to war, injustice and oppression O
every kind, blessing TO his country and an ex
ample of every noble virtue to the whole world
Washington was called to the head of the arm,
at the age of forty four; and if Col. Fremon
shall live to the 18th Of March next we conf
IDENTIFY expect that the singular parallel will 81
far be perfected. lGh s51s-ossH aEI5si iA
