w. R. King and James Buchanan.

In 1835-36, the agitation in reference to pe- titions against slavery commenced in the Se- natc To show the estimation then placed by southern Senators upon the course pursued by Mir James Buchanan, we quote, first, from MT. Black, then Senator from Mississippi, who says:
 "Imust take occasion to say that I teel great ly indebted to tue gentleman from Pennsylvania, Mr. Ruchanon, tor the liberal course pursued by A'ns on the subject of slauery."-Ap. to Congress sional Globe lS35-36 page 135.
 In an earnest appeal to the north not to wage war of aggression upon the rights of the south, Mr. Walker, of Mississippi said
 To my honorable and distinguished friend the Senator from Pennsylvania-Mr. Bucha,,an- most happy ana to sag, it is unnecessary to ap- peal He has av7aoed sentiments o,, this oor, upon this subject, ,corthy cf tue best days of tue Rep,a- Ac-worthy of Pennsyluania he Keystone of the arch of the Union-,oorthy of tue spirit in schich the Constitution soas formed, ond aohich alone can perpetuate its blessings. Cong Globe, 1835-36, D. 40.
 And that pure, patriotic and consistent son of Alabama, Wm. R. King, passed the follow ing high euiogium upon Mir. Buchanan for his course in favor of the constitutional rights of the south:
 "The strongest vote-in my opinion, the one best calculated to quiet tue agitation m the public mlnd-to put do,on the agitators, and to prevent the frequent recurrence of their misguided and fanatcal attempts to disturb the peace of the south--was that proposed by the gentleman from Pennsylvania--Mr. Buchanan--to reject the prayer of the petition at once and show to these men, that any hope of producing an effect on Congress, was entirely delusive"
 II took occasion, some days since, to express the grateful sense I entertain of the manly, fank and disinterested manner, in which my friend from Pennsylvania had come forward with his motion, as well as for the enlarged, liberal and clear- sighted views, taken by him in the remarks with which he accompanied it. Sir, Mr. Buchanan has my tsanhs, and deserUes -tor the disinte' ested stand he has taken-the warmest encon1iunas of euery southern man, as well as of every lover of the Union, be he from the north or from the uth."-APp Cong.

A Noble SuectacIe.

The correspondent of the New York Times. in detailing an account of the procession and celebration at Boston, upon the inauguration of the bronze statute of Benjamin Franklin, says:
 But, beyond the gay and gorgeous glitter of the military, and the imposing and sombre re- spectabity of the civic func.ionaries who fol- lowed-aye, beyond all and everything was the next part of the procession beautiful. As the printers came on, the brothers of the great man they Eonored-brave, honest freemen of honest labor, their Lands casped in each others, and their countenances lit up with pride and enthu- siasm, we thought we never looked on sight more touchingly beautiful, or which would have given greater joy to him who looked down from above In their center was borne with kind of tender love, as the firemen pet their engine, or the French soldiers their vivan- diere, the old worn press on which Benjamin worked when boy. Its kind, crazy old lum- oerng look, with its old ink balls, formed a striking contrast to one of Hoes lightning presses which was borne along side, and told more eioquently than words, howin this coun- try progress rushes on with rapid stride. As they passed there was no cheer, but that silence in multitude which is the deepest and holiest of homage. Many cheek paled, and heart swellsd, as they passed, these brave prnterS, the men whose fingers weave that net which guards the liberties of the world!

Fillmore

One of MT. Fillmores leading friends and advocates in New York is Hiram Ketchum, esq, an eminent lawyer of that city. He has lately been endeavoring to advance the cause of his friend by writing letters and making speeches. The other day he made one at New Haven in which he said:
 Gentlemen, l attached myself in early life to that party which was always and ever op- posed to the extension of slavery; and say here tonight that the whig party of the north has always had that creed, and these republi- cans can't take out patent for it. for many a long year. Meniment and applause. And say that Willard Fillmore has been true to that party, and has never had, since he enter. ed into political life, any other principle but that which would prevent the further extension of slavery.

KILLED BY.A RUNAWAY NEGRo.--We learn from the officers of the steamer Sam Hale, which boat passed up Thursday evening, that Col. G. w. Reedy. of Monroe county, was kill led on Wednesday, lst inst, three miles from Clarendon by runaway negro. Col Reedy, it seems, suspiconed the negro must be runa- way, by his leaving the road as he approached him. The Colonel pursued him, and the ne- gro shot him-he fell from his horse-which the negro mounted and made his escape. The negro is Of light yellow complexion, weighs about l9O lbs, has large bushy head of hair We learn there is but little doubt that this ne. gro has made his way up the river towards Des Arc and Surrounded Hill. A large number of men were iii pursuit of him, but as the horse he rode of is good one, fears were entertained that he would make his escape.
 We hear of quite number of runaway ne- groes in the bottom, and it behooves travellers and others to be on the alert Every neighbor- hood should have patrols out, well armed, and use all diligence to catch these runaways.- Des Arc Citizen, Oct. f.

Humors of Law.

Sterne insnuates that attorneys are to law yers what ap)thecaries are tp physicans-only that they do not deal in scruples
 One day. at the table of the late Dr. Pease, (Dean of Ely,) just as the cloth was being re- moved, the subject of discourse happened to be that of an extraordinary mortality among the lawyers. "We have lost" said gentleman, mot less thaa six eminent barristers in so ma ny mouths The Dean, who was quite deaf, rose as his friend finished his remarks, and gave the company grace: : For tAis and every other merry the Lords name be praised.'' The effect was irresistible.
 About hundred years ago Scotch gentle man bequeathel to his "poor relations, of whatever degree, the sum of f2OOOO" h ef- feet he left them chancery suit, which has re- malned in the family ever since In the first place, the next of kin disputed the validity cf the bequest, but it was established by Lord Chancellor Camden, and four hundred and slxtv-three persons made out their relationship ThereGpon, in the year 1776, bill was filed for the distribution of the money amongst them, which has not been effected to this day.
 yet stranger case that of the famous Berkeley sut,' which lasted upwards of one hundred and ninety years. It was commenced shortly alter the death ot the fourth Lord Berkeley in l4l6 and terminated in 1909. IL arose out of the marriage of Elizabeth, only daughter and heiress of the above Baron, with Richard Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick, their descendants having continually sought to get possession of the castle and Lorlship of Berk e. ly, which not only occasioned the famous law suit in question, but was attended with the most violent quarrels on both siIes at least during the llrst htty years or more.

The Maine Election.

On the very day on which the election was held in Maine, the Boston Daily Advertiser Ca Fremont paper said: Tt will be scarcely safe to draw any differences as to the probable result of the presidential election in Maine or elsewhere from the issue of the election in that State on Monday, because it is we'll known that the local politics of Maine are complicated and embar- rassed by issues and by jealouses which will not enter into the presidential CANVASS"

THE CosT OF AN EJECrMENT FROM RAILRo.

THE CosT OF AN EJECTMENT FROM RAILROAD CARs.-A suit was recently brought against the Hudson river railroad company, on account of one of their conductors ejectng from the cars at Riverdale, two citizens of Yonkers, named Thomas Gurgon and Hugh Donahue while on their passage from the city to that village The case was tried at the White Plains last week and the complainants recovered $lOO each from the company. The complaiuants had purchas- ed tickets in New York for passage through to Yonkers. but the ticket agent being short of Yonkers tickets, said it would be all ri ,ht. The conductor, however refused to accept them for the fare to Yonkers, and on their arrival at Ri. verdals, eiccted them from the oars.

nTThe black republican State convent

0r The black republican State convention of New Jersey, which met at Trenton last week to nominate a Fremont electoral ticket, was presided over by Hon. Ephraim Marsh, who was president of the national Know Noth- ing convention which nominated Fillmore and Donelson. Mr. Marsh publishes a two column letter in the Newark Advertiser giving his req sons for abandoning Fillmore and supporting Fremont. Thus we see day after day the most prominent and the strongest of Fiilmores north- ern supporters deserting him and going over to Fremont. All this should not be and will not be lost on sensible southern men.--LousuiHe Courier

BURSTING OF THE BIG GUN-The Missouri


 Democrat of the 4lh inst. says:
 "Yesterday, while MT. Dlmck was exper. mentng on his newly y-invented rife cannon it exploded, breaking into nine pieces. The gun weighed 1888 pounds, and was made of fine malabe iron. The front of the gun-about five feet in length-bew away from the breach, the latter blowing into eight fragments. Some of these, weighing five hundred pounds, were thrown forward from two to three hundred feet, and projected into the air from forty to fifty feet. But the most singular part of the story remains to be told. The ball, which weighed eighteen pounds, was thrown to nearly the ee- vaton which it would have reached had the bursting not taken place, striking the ground at 15,OOO or l6,OOO yards. It is to be regretted that the accident occurred when it did. The power and greatness of the invention were not fully demonstrated. MT. Dimck, no doubt, will have another gun made, and, if possible of better metal"

th, 18th section, and adopted the

containing the l2th section, and adopted the new one without that section.
 The truth is. that section proposed to abide by the legislation of 1854 as settlement of the slavery question, and it was for that reason and no other that it was dstasteful to the northern Know Nothings. They would not abide by that legislation, and hence they re- peaed the platform which pledged them to such a course. The repeal was accepted by most of the southern delegates as measure of conciliation," so said Mr. Bartlett, presi- dent of the council-and it is too late in the day for the Know Nothing orators to undertake to smooth over the disgraceful surrender to ireesoil exactions by miserable bubbles and lawyer-like technical,ies. They had better "own up" and abandon the whole concern.

Fixed Facts.

It is now clear (says the New Heaven Re- gister) that all the monarchlsts and tories, in Europe and elsewhere are against the election of Mir. Buchanan, and in favor of the election of Mr. Fremont This great fact speaks vo
 lumes. Why are these things so? Because Kirgs, Queens, nobes, and tories well know that when Mr. Buchanan is elected the Union and constitution will be preserved, and the re, publican cause of equal rights and self-govern- ment will prosper as heretofore. But if Mr.
 Fremont should unfortunately be elected he will fall into the hands of dangerous leaders, Sectionai>m will be encouraged, an! will tend to disunion and civil war, which will blast the hopes of the friends of the democratic system.
