A THEORY OF THE BURDELL MURDER
The New York correspondent of the Boston
Journal offers new theory of the Burdell
murder, and backs it by the following state
ment:
Not to be held to too rigid an account
for the full correctness of all l have to state
not willing to be held to strict aecuraey--I
have good authority for saying that probably
the veied mystery of Harvey Burdells muir
der will be lifted, and the mystery be dissi-
pated soon that the darkness of that night
OF crime will soon blaze with the brightness
of MONDAY that public morality and public
justice will be vindicated by the terrible and
dark revelations of that hour of blood and
the authorities l am informed, have come in
possession of most startling Developments,
which will show that secrecy in such great
crimes is made impossible by the laws of
God"
The writer says that it will be proved that
the murder was committed early in the even
ing by men who had secreted themselves in
the house, and that one of them took the hat
and cloak of the victim, and passed into the
house, in manner to attract attention, at the
time when he was identified as going in.

THURsDAY. AUGUST 1a. Is57.
The NfIssonri EIectian.

We have already alluded to the wonderful
change in political opinion at the South, in those
States which formerly invariably cast large ma
jorites against the national Democracy, as Wings
or Americans" and in which the administration
have made an almost clean sweep at the recent
elections But we are rejoiced TO note that there
is one Southern State which exhibits signs, not
only of holding its own, when compared with any
former show Of opposition to the pro-slavery De-
moeracy, bat Of increasing its strength in that
direction and going so far this time as to elect
an avowed advocate of slavery emancipation for
Governor. By the latest accounts, Major Rol-
lios, the candidate of the friends of emanci-
patton in ninety.fve counties stood three
thousand ahead Of his pToslavery competitor,
Stewart, the candidate THE national Democra-
Cyl and the fifteen counties to hear from will not
Be likely to overcome Rollns's present majority.
Tins is glory enough for one campaign, in view
of its effect upon the prospects of freedom in
Kanzas &c.
so-called American is the alleged victor but
we have vet to see in his speeches any proof ofde
votion 10 those proscriptve aims which have
characterized '.Americanism" in these parts. In
the one respect Of welcoming all kinds of immi-
grants, he certainly differs says the Boston Jour
s4l from many who have borne the same name
Ba; the characteristic traits of the Missouri can
vass have been, thatthe question of emancipation
has been recognized among the issues, and that
those who favored this measure have gone for
Rollins, and those who opposed it have gone for
Stuart. These facts impart the most cheering
light that comes to us from the slave States 1t
comes, too, from fitting quarter. For the sake
of slavery in Missouri, the South attempted the
double advantage ofsecuring all below 36 deg. 30
min, and then, when this was done, of repeating
the arrangement 80 as to carry slavery above that
line also. And now. if Missouri should herself
lead the way in foiling the last part of the
scheme and undoing the first, it would be an in
staneeof compensatory justice not often Witness

The RESULT OF ERsEvERAN CE. Our readers
will recollect the death of Ex-Governor William
Sprague Of Cranston, Rhode Island, some time
during the last season. He had brother, ANA
sa, who was murdered few years since. They
were partners in business, and were distinguished
for their energy, enterprise, and business tact.
little time previous to the death of their father,
the manufacturing establishment, of which they
and their father were joint owners, was destroyed
by FIRE. The loss was so heavy that the best bus
ness men considered it impossible for them to go
on and meet their engagements, and advised
winding up Of their affairs, and the dividend of
such per cent. upon their liabilities as their re-
naming property would enable them to make.
They determined, however, to persevere and
work their way through in which they succeed
ed, and were subsequently so successful that they
became among the wealthiest men of the State.
We understand that, since the death of William
an inventory.of the estate has been taken, and
that it amounts to over sic millions of dollars,
the largest inventory probably, ever taken in the
State, and most remarkable fortune to be &C.
cumulated in family in single generation.
