THE POLITICAL FUTURE.

A number of would-be democratic papers
are chuckling over the supposed fact that
the opponents of the National Administra-
ton have committed themselves in favor OF
Mr.. Douglas, by endorsing his views on
the Kansas question. This Is rather an
illogical conclusion at present, though 1t
may vet prove true, as it is not at all un-
likely there may be two democratic nomi-
nees for the next presidency, one of whom
may be Mr. Douglas, the other fire-eating
slavery and ilibuster propagandist, and be-
tween two such we certainly should not
hesitate to support the former in preference
to the latter, as the least Of two evils. III
part the question of slavery is settled by
the decision of the Supreme Court, and so
long as that decision stands all good citi-
gems, without regard to their own opinions,
must abide by it; but side issues have
sprung up, the most important of which
are the right of the people of a territory
to form all their domestic institutions ac-
cording to their wishes, and the carrying
of slave property into free states. Bigler
and few other satellites, who profess to
speak for the administration, have already
taken the ground that convention, such
as lately assembled in Kansas, could form
and put in operation constitution without
submitting it to the people, and Wash
ington administration paper has already
construed the Dred Scott decision to mean
that shareholders can carry slave property
into free states and hold it there Filibus-
terism, the tariff, a bank of issue by the
government, and other important matters
will probably come up, and we shall not be
surprised to see new division of parties
in which all others will be as effectually
scattered as was the whig party few years
ago Time alone however can determine
this, and until it does so we shall give
credit to Douglas, Buchanan, Packer, and
all others, when right, and condemn them
when we think them wrong.

DEATH FROM THE BITE OF A
CAT

A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press, writing from Jeanesyille, Luzerne
county, December 9th, says -
Mr. John Abel, clerk in the employ of
j. B. McCreary & Co, at Lewis Audenreid's
colliery, died on the morning of the 9th
from the bite of cat. The circumstances
are very singular About ten weeks since,
he was walking from the dwelling house to
the store, when he met the cat in the path.
lie put out his hands to play with her,
when she instantly few at him and bit him.
de complained a little at the time, but it
passed away and no more was thought of
1t. lie had at times, however, a great re-
pugnance to water, and the mere sight of
it caused shuddering sensation. On
Christmas day he dined at the hotel of Mr..
David Martz, at Jeanesville, and appeared
in usual health, On the morning of the
9th he complained of being sick, and al
last took to his bed
He suffered intense agony, trying to bite
the hand which the cat had bitten ter
weeks previous, and exclaiming that the
sight of water made him mad rayine
maniac. His friends had to hold him e
prevent his tearing his breast. Medica
skill proved OF no avail, and at s o'clock
on the 9th, Sunday morning, he breathed
his last.

EXECUTIVE CHARBER,

A Husband "Ctto Pieces" by his Wife
1t does not seem to satisfy brutality at
present merely to Kill, but there must be
an extra horror, to create a sensation. A
correspondent of the Petersburg, (Va.)
Express writes from Sussex county in that
State:
Our community has been startled by one
Of the most revolving and cold-blooded
murders that has ever been committed in
this section. 1t occurred Christmas morn
ing-the victim was husband, and the
perpetrator his own wife From her con-
fession the particulars seem to be briefly
these On Christmas morning, Josiah
Freeman, the husband of the woman,
threatened to kill her; SO, after reflection,
she thought she would get the better of it
and kill him. While he was asleep she
seized gun, and fearing the springing of
the hammer would arouse him she opened
the pan, and applying coal of fire the
powder exploded, the whole charge grazing
his forehead. He raised up and remarked
that she had done wrong, when she instant
ly struck him over the head with the gun,
knocking him senseless The blow was
given with such force that the barrel of
the gun was badly bent. While in this
insensible condition she seized a knife and
cut his throat Still fearing, as she says,
"that the wind might again blow breath
in his body" she took an axe and butch
cred the body in shocking manner. She
has been duly committed to jail for trial.

For the Gazette.
PrOtracted Meeting.
The meeting in the Lutheran Church, under
the new Pastor Rev. II. Baker, is still contn-
ued with good success. There have been o
large number forward at the anxious bench,
and many have found peace in believing in
Christ The meetings have been very inter
esting from the beginning, and good spirit
seems to PerVade the minds of the anxious
auditors, who crowd the house from evening
10 evening, to hear the preached word,
and catch up its soul inspiring flame
The meeting was favored four evenings last
week by the services ef Rev. Cyrus Right
never from Mechanicsburg, Cumberland
county. He is young man, and ii is exceed
ingly dangerous to make young preachers the
subjects of newspaper notice. If yon criti-
else them unfsVorably, il may do them great
injury, and to praise their efforts too highly
is apt to excite their vanity, and thereby they
become killed with conceit In this case,
however, l think there is little danger of do
ing harm either way. Mr.. K, seems to carry
his abilities SO lightly that no one would sus-
pect him of having any, and whether he has
made the discovery himself yet, that he is
possessed of great tact and skill, is unknown
to the writer. The large congregations of
people who heard him preach in Lewistown,
have made the discovery that he is workman
that need not be ashamed, and is destined to
make his mark in the world as preacher of
righteousness He throws the network of the
Gospel around the hearts of sinners so skill
fully that they cannot escape it's meshes. He
strips sin of all its apparent honor and glory,
disrobes it of all its borrowed drapery and
tinseIed show, and holds it up to the gaze of
the audience in all its naked deformity, turn
ing its pretended sweets into wormwood and
gall Ho shows the people the black side Of
sin and contends that it has no other, and
then shows by Overpewering arguments,
backed by scripture and experience, the emp
tiness Of all earthly preteneions to happiness,
and their utter insufficiency to satisfy the
longings of an immortal @nind. He then
turns the attention of his hearers to the
Lamb of God who taketh away the Gins of
the world, and represents him as the fairest
among ten thousand, and the one altogether
levoly, as tho sinners only safety and sure
refuge, in the day Of his trial. And thus he
goes on from one stream Of impassioned elo-
quence to another until the whole audience
are forced to an inward, or audible ejaculation,
Amen-even se-come Lord Jesus.
