TERRIBLE FALL AND DEATH or SONSANDULIsT.
A most melancholy accident occurred last night, at
the Metropolitan Hotel Randolph street. A young
man named Henry Blakesley Jumped from the win
dow Of his roon No. 81 in the fourth story and fell
upon the roof Of OF the buildings the premises
kilrg him instantly. Two other gentlemen were
sleeping in the room at the time, aud one of them,
he aiipg noise awuke just in time 70 see him sping
f,om the window in bis light clothes.
The bed pushed one side a little 90 that he
must have jumped frcr the bed, between il and tse
wall. They immediately, with The landlord Of the
hctel went out ard carried him into the house, and
Dr. Foeter wss called, but the uniort ansts man must
have died as soon as he struck the root.
From the conversation held with several acqusinted
with him. and who had frequently slept with him,
We learn that he very nervous in his sleep, and
addicted to getting up, that in ali probability the
terrible fall which so quickly hurried him out o exist
cree was caused by H. Of somaaubuiism. He
must have struck upon his back, slice when fouud
the sixth and seventh vertebre OF the spinal column
were dislocsted No other bruises Were found upol
the body.

TRIANGLE, Aug Is, 1851.
spirited Temperance meeting was held on the
evening of the 18th inst. in the village of Trisnge
Broome, County New-York. The lirge assembly was
addressed by the resident Pastors, the Revs.
Messrs Peck and SchOyille, and also by couple of
strangers, who CHANGED to be in the place. During
the progress Of the meeting opportunity was given
according previous announcement for the rumseer
or rumdrnkcrs to advocate Geirfi of the question
Calls were repeatedly made for some to speak in
favor Of the traffic. But the friends OF the traffic al
though they were present, did not dare to utter a
syllable in its favor II then urged that good
cause deserved 10 be defended. Ii rumselng or
rumdrukirg be a respectable buireSs why should
not some OF lis friends speak in its defense
At the close of the exercises it proposed that
the meeting adjourn to the house Of the rum
seller This was done. The desi gn TO enter the
tavern in a polite and orderly manner, aud, by a
chosen speaker, request the rum.seller to cease
wropgiDg his neghbors by continuing the traffic in
their midst. But word was conveyed to him by
one Of his bar.room minons and he forthwith eNtn-
guisbed his lights and locked his doors against about
one hundred Of his neighbors, who simply came to
make of him neighborly request. Thus it comes
about that " the wicked flee when ro man pursueth,
but the righteous are bold as lion"

As Mr.. Hatton has expressed great anxiety
as to the "Sentinels position" we hope he will
favor us With answers to the following:
1st Are you in favor of the majority of the
people of Kansas forming all their institutions?
ID Are youn favor of the free state men
in Kansas making it a free state whenever they
have the opportunity to do so?
3D.. Do you wish to have the question OF
slavery settled there and have Kansas admitted
into the Union this session of Congress?
4th Do you wish the free state men to vote
in Kansas on the 21st and have the slavery
clause stricken out of the constitution?
5th. Did you not advise that the free state
men should not vote for delegates to the con-
vention, when by so doing they could have made
free constitution?
9Th. Do you deny that the people of Kansas
have the right to decide the question Of slavery
in their own way?
7h. Are you not glad that this convention
did not submit the whole constitution to the
people?
Answers to the above are respectfully solic-
tied. ...

true democrats. Ifthe people win vote on the
2lst and settle the question Of slavery, we are
Inclined to think that the latter plan will pro-
duce this desirable result in the shortest time,
and in that case we would be in favor Of it; and
we shall find no iault with those who favor the
first
We hope, that in saying what we have, we
have not BACKED down. from any thing that
we have heretofore said about popular sover-
eighty" The Republican says that we ''presch-
ed to the people Ofthis country that the people
ofKansas should be free or slave state'"-
That is true. They certainly have this right
We say So now. But under either OF the
plans proposed they can exercise this right
The Republican need not trouble itself about
Consistency" We have never swerfed from
this principal But it hardly becomes one, who
has not been quite as study as the fixed stars, to
talk Of consistency"
The Kansas question will soon we trust, be

lin the ultimate freedom of Kansas, which, in
spite ofthe trickery of the convention, or the
dishonest apathy and in-action of the Topeka
ties, is irresistably certain, they see their death

trouble in Kansas, and tremb.e with quaking
fear in the prospect of its final and peaceful set
Element. Then alas! what will become Of them?
The people will no longer believe their dishon-
est professions of trssiom-Their object is not
to give freedom to Kansas; for when they had
a fair opportunity, under a noble and faithful
governor they refused to do 1t. Their last re-
sort is to try and get up trouble in the Demo-
crat party. With that purpose in view, they
r fused to elect delegates to the convention and
make Kansas free when they had the chance

KEMPs Worm PAsrILLs.-To caIomelize
young children for the cure OF worms is not on
ly dangerous but necessary, as these Iastilles,
which contain no mineral ingredient, accom-
plsh that object in less time and with more GER
tainty than any preparation of mercury, and
have such an entcing appearance and flavor that
child en- take them without solicitation. Messrs.
Lanman & Co., the extensive wholesale Drug
gists by whom Kemp's Pastillcs are manufactu-
red, are now the sole proprietors Of BRIsToL's
SARsAPARILLA, which as prepared by them is
said to possess in a more intense degree the pc
cuiar detergent properties for which it has been
long famous. In scrofula consumption, drop
