Pertinent Q,,,estions.


The Alexandria American, of the 18th inst, asks
the Hon. John N, sandidge, candidate for Congress
in the Fourth District several searching questions
Weappend two or three: f
We ask Col Sandidge, If he endorses r. j. Wak-
eiFs conduct IN Kansas? We ask him, if under all
the circumstances the question Of slavery should be
submitted to direct vote of the people, as clearly
intmated in Gov. Walkers Inaugural These are
questions simple in their nature but of immense i'm.
porance to the voters of the Fourth Congressional
District
We hope that the American will be able to ascer.
tain what Sanddges position is respecting Walkers
Kansas treachery. Does sandidge endorse IValker?
That is the question the people wish answered and
are entitled to have answered If the American sue
ceeds in bringing Mr.. sandidge out with positive, a
imatve, negative, or any other kind Of answer, it
will be more fortunate than we have been with Messrs
Vere, Taylor and Davidson candidates for Congress
in the First, Second and Third Districts Not word
has been heard from them-although rumors were
abroad some days since that Mr.. Taylor, the only
"antSlidean" Democratic candidate for Congress in
the State, was about to put forth pronunciamento
denouncing Observation-Disclosures several stirring
public appeals for information have been made.
1t is time gentlemen were showing their hands.
Are they for Walker, Buchanan and Freesoiism in
Kansas and elsewhere, are they for the South and
against all enemies of the South, secret, omen, or
otherwise?
New Orleans daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1851-1866, 1857-07-30
As we Predicted.

Shortly after the election of Mr.. Buchanan, we
predicted that he would encounter Southern Demo.
cratic opposition within twelve months after his in
auguration, or thereabouts. He has already encoun.
tered a portion of that opposition and the sub
joined extract from late number Of the st. Louis
Intelgencer indicates that concerted efforts are on
foot Throughout the South to carry the war into Con.
gress. Says the Intelligencer
Advices from Washington city inform us that
movements are On foot for the formation of a South
ern anti Administration party, to carry relentless
war against Mr.. Buchanan and his Cabinet on the
Kansas issue. Toombs and Stephens Of Georgia, it
is said are to be leaders of this new organization
though we must do jeff Davis, of Mississippi, the
credit to say that if dscord STRIFE contention and
treachery to the country are involved in it, that dis.
tinguished ex.Secretary of War will have his full
share in the concern.
Senator Toombs has already taken positive ground
against Gov. Walker, and condtionally against the
administration The report of his speech delivered al
Washington, Wilkes county Georgia, published yes
terday, very truly foresadows his future position il
our opinion. We have not yet heard from Mr.
Stephens, but entertain little doubt he will be fount
on the side of his section. Senator Toombs and Mr.
Stephens generally agree, and it is not likely eithe
would take decided stand without consulting tn,
other, on question of such mighty Importance. Thu
chances are ten to one they both approve the resou
ton adopted by the Georgia Democratic State Con
yenton denouncing the treachery of Walker and de
| handing his recall at the hands of President Blu
chanan and, feg do the opposition of the Georgis
Democracy to the administration may be set down a,
certain. Senator Brown, of Missssippi, has aread,
disapproved of the conduct of the Kansas migrate il
strong terms-the Mississippi Democratic State Con
Vention has stigmatzed him as altogether unworth,
Democratic countenance or support, and we have n,
doubt the hero-statesman, Gen. Quitman, views hi
perfidy with feelings of the deepest scorn and ndg
nation. In fact, the whole Southern people with tn
exception of few plastic and spoilsbought polit
clans, look upon Walker as a treacherous, dshones
demagogue, and upon the administration which su:
tains hun as not much better. The spoilsmen wi
md this out ere long. lii the meantime, let tlel
make the most they eau from the public crib.

SHOCKING TRAGEDIES IN CINCINNATI.-The tele-
graph informed us, few days ago, that German
named Ioefner had murdered his wife, in Cincinnati,
by strangng her and had afterwards killed his for
mer employer, a respectable merchant named Horton,
by stabbng him at the residence of the latter. oef
ner then cut his throat, but the wound did not
prove fatal and through the medium of slate and
pencil he stated that he had detected criminal inter-
course between his wife and Mr. Horton, and that he
had killed them in consequence Many persons dis
credit the story and think Loefner insane.
We obtain the particulars of this affair from the
Cincinnati Commercial OF the 22d and that paper of
the 23d has an accounted still more horrible tragedy
On the afternoon of the previous day two boys and a
robust looking man were seen walking along Buck.
eye street. furtvely scattering upon the sidewalks
small ozenges, about the size of peppermint drops
1t was in locality where numerous children were
playing about the Streets and many of these eagerly
seized and eat the candies thus thrown in their way.
They were speedily taken with violent vomiting and
other symptoms of poisoning Medical aid was pro-
cured, and analysis showed that the lozenges were
composed of equal parts of sugar. flour and arsenic.
About twenty children were poisoned through this
internal device two boys died on the same evening
and four or five other children were in critical con-
dition. Similar cases, it was sad had occurred in
other parts of the city, but particulars had been
obtained On Buckeye street, along the sidewalk
which the man had passed over, were found an I'M
mense number of the poisoned drops, as many as
1900 in one spot, and in another place large guam
tity of arsenic tied in two parcels Neither of the
fends in human shape who participated in this dam,
ming deed had been arrested at last accounts.
The mind is lost in wonder at the unutterable de-
pravity of the heart which could resolve upon such
plan of treacherous cruelty against innocent and UNI
suspecting children.
