The Unions last issue eonta ms an elaborate
review Of the letter Of Gov Walker, which. as
a political essay, is one of the most effective
papers we ever read, embracing not q word that
could be dispensed with, and yet completely
npsetting every effort at argument upon which
Governor W. essays to justify his disregard Of
the letter and spirit of his instructions, ending
in his coalition with the Topekaites, which. in
turn, very properly ended in his virtual election
from his trust. The Union $ leader in question
Is 50 entirely composed Of strong, unanswerable
points. as that We can convey to the Stars
readers no just idea OF it by any quotations we
might make. Together with the recent power
full speech of Senator Green, il forms a reply to
the pleas for the policy advocated by Messrs
Douglas and Walker which must very soon dis,
sipate all doubts yet remaining upon the minds
of any portion of the real Democracy of the
North, as TO the wisdom and propriety of the
policy of the President upon the question Of
the acceptance by Congress of the Lecompton
Constitution. -.r

The CoxNEcTIcUT MYsTERr-The New Ha-
ven Palladium has further particulars of the re-
markable circumstances attending the supposed
murder of young Sage by the Irishman Nug-nt,
and the delberate perjury Of the sailor Benson y,
Of which an accountappeared IN Saturday's Star.
The Palladium recapitulates the history of the
case, already given, and reproduces the original
testimony Of Benson, on the strength Of which
Nugent was indicted for murder, and ut the same
time, adds:
Ills proper TO say here that there has been
story afioat that young Sage attempted some vio-
lence upon young girl eight or nine years Of
age, before his departure and II has been sur
missed that this was the cause Of his absence and
the reason why he was not brought back TO
Cromwell. For the truth of this story we cannot
vouch. - .ts p. EFFlkl
Mr.. Sage. the father has always bore an excel
lent reputaiiea. and MS chilaFeR haye-beea well
educated One OF his daughters Is an accom-
piished young lady, and is receiving very large
salary a school teacher. All sorts OF e~Bjec--
lures have been privately made as 20 the fathers
completely with the affair, but the most reliable
authorities believe him entirely innocent. The
whole truth will, however, In time be ont.

adds: .r-... ... ..-. ..... ... #tr a.tr
The boy, Charles F.. Sage, rs aii-s, This is
unquestOnable. ....
The testimony of the sailor Benson, so far as
any knowledge of the murder is concerned, was
false, ia line, letter and syllable.
Benson was arrested on Wednesday evening,
by Deputy Sheriff Camp. and yesterday brought
before Justice M. r. Warner, in Cromwell, to
