FOR PRESIDENT I'M 1860
HON. WIN. T..
Of New Jersey.
Hon. VIM. L. Dayton.

1t will be seen by the readers of the
"HERALD," that we have this week nailed
to our masthead the name of the distin-
guished Jerseymen presented above, for
the high and exalted position of Presi'
dent of the United States.
We can merely announce the fact this
week, but shall take an early opportu-
nifty Of laying before our readers the rea-
sons which have induced us, at this early
day, to take SO important a step in polit-
ical matters.
We will merely add. that we hope to
be able to keep the name of Judge DAY
TON floating at our mast head, until the
People shall have triumphantly elected
him to the Presidential Chair-an Office
for which he is so eminently qualified.

How Near a Man can Come to thu
Scafold Without Hanging.

The case OF the Italian, Cancemi, is one of
The most remarkable criminal cases on record.
He has on the 18th, says the New York Times
found guilty of manslaughter, i'll the first de-
gree, it being the fourth trial for the murder
Of 4 Anderson, the policeman. On the first trial
the jury were unable to agree on IA verdict, ten
being i'll favor of finding him guilty of murder,
and two in favor Of his acqulttal. On the sec
ond trial he was found guilty of murder, and
the sentence was set aside by the Court of
Appeals, on the ground that the Judge in his
charge to the jury had neg ected to make any
allusion to the plea of previous good character.
On the third trial he was again found guilty
OF murder, anu the verdict was again set aside
and-a new trial ordered by the Court of APP
peals, on the ground that his conviction was
illegal, the verdict having been rendered by a
jury consisting of but eleven persons, though
his counsel had consented to the arrangement.
He is now, on his fourth trial, convicted of
mansiaughter III the first degree, by a jury of
twelve men, ten of whom it is stated, were in
favor Of bringing him in guilty Of murder
Thus out of the forty-seven jurymen to whom
his case was submitted, forty-three it appears,
pronounced him guilty of murder. Probably
10 man ever before had his neck in such close
proximity to a halter and escaped hanging
The lowest punishment or the crime of which
he has now been found guilty, is ten years I'M
%prisonment in the State Prison, while the ex-
treme penalty is Imprisonment for life.

D- A Concert Of Vocal and Instrumental
Music was given in Citizens Hall on Wednes-
day evening, which was better attended than
we anticipated, considering the wretched con-
dition of our streets and roads.
The performers certainly possessed a great
degree of Musical talent, and stand high in
their profession.
Signorina SPINoLA, the celebrated italian
Prima Donna" electrified the audience with
some of her sweetest notes. Among the Airs
she sang, we were delighted with the following
|-"Tm a Merry Laughing girP'-Comin
Thro' the Rye''-and Lament of the Alpine
Shepherd Boy" We are sorry that we can
not sneak of her Italian npOrn \ irs, =% thoy
deserve, for the reason that we are not prof.
Gent in such Music, but presume her perfor
mances in this department far surpassed hel
English singing. We hope it will not be long
before we can again have the pleasure of lis
tening to Spinola's enchanting voice.
Prof. ALLsTRoM, as a Piano performer, mast
rank high in that profession, if we are tc
judge from the mastery skill he displayed OIL
Wednesday evening.
Prof. Cook, Conductor of Musical Con.
v%entions in New York City," gave us some
enchanting specimens of his performances on
the Violin.
On the whole. the Concert was an admira-
BILE affair, and done great credit to the perfor-
mers.

Death of VIM. Jackson Christopher.

1t became our painful duty last week to an
nounce the sudden and unexpected death of
Mr.. CHRISTOPHER, which took place in the city
Of Newark on the 9th inst.
Painful as was that intelligence received in
this village by his parents, family connections,
and numerous friends, it must be gratifying to
them to know in what estimation Mr.. G. was
held by his employer and associates in the
Post Office, as the following extract from a
letter from Charles F. Gray, Esq, Post Mas
Ter at Newark, to his father in this village.
will attest
"In consoling with you on this occasion, it
gives me great qualification to state that your
son has ever deported himself in an honorable
and gentlemanly way since he has been with
me, aud that all my intercourse with him has
been pleasant; and l most assuredly had a
high opinion Of his honesty and faithfulness to
my interests, and to the interests of the Office.
I most sincerely deplere his loss
"The young men in the office, his associates
and friends, unite with me in this expression
of sympathy, and beg leave to offer our kind
est wishes for the health and happiness of your
self and Mrs. Christopher"
In addition to the above, we find the fol
lowing highly complimentary notice to Mr..
Christopher's memory in the Newark Mercury
of the 18th inst. We rejoice to know that our
young friend was so proficient and accomoda-
ting in his official duties as to receive such a
high encomiurn from the best paper in New
Jersey, though opposed to him in politics, and
that his demise was received with general
regret throughout the city. The following is
the notice to which we allude:
"The Post Office was closed for an hour
Yesterday morning in order to afford the vari-
GUS Clerks an opportunity to attend the funeral
of Mr.. William j. Christopher, lately one of
their number, who died on Monday. The
closing of the Office was a proper mark of re-
spect to the memory of one who had so long
been identified with it, and there was not a
business man in our midst who did not feel
that the tribute was richly deserved. Few
young men have performed the duties of life
in a more modest or quiet manner, and it is
gratifying to know that those with whom he
was intimately associated, respect his worth
and cherish his memory. Uniformly obliging
as we have found the attaches of the Post
Office to be, if we should make an exception,
it would be in favor of the young man so sud
denly removed"

Douglas and the Regular Democ-
raCY.

The Washington correspondent OF the Tn
bune, telegraphs to that journal that the &C
ton of the Senatorial caucus in removing Mr.
Douglas from the Craftsmanship Of the Com
mittee on Territories has created the creates
excitement. 1t is regarded as demonstrating
the intention of the Democratic leaders to ad
here to the extreme Pro Slavery policy adop
ted at the last sesSion-to reduce the Anti
Lecompton men to the position of a faction
and to drive them from the party. Mr.. Brod
erick was not invited to the caucus, and is con
sidered as having been formally read out of the
party.
Jefferson Davis and Slidell led the attack
on Douglas in the Caucus There were only
seven votes for Douglas. They were thrown
by Messrs. Shields, Stewart, Cingman, Brown
ToombS, Green and Bigler. These seven cen.
ators protested against the exclusion of Dou.
glas as suicidal to the party. The debate las.
ted from 10 IL o'clock in the N orning to g
late hour in the afternoon, with an hours re.
cess from IL to l o'clock for a session of the
Senate. Great bitterness was manifested, and
Mr.. Tombs left the caucus in disgust, while
the dissention was in its height.
Mr.. Seward, on hearing the result of the
caucus, remarked that it was the best ~illustra.
ton that could possibly be given Of the truth
Of his statement that there was all irrepressi.
BILE conflict between Freedom and Slavery
1t was a greater outrage, politically speaking,
than the attempt to force Kansas into the Tn,
ion as a Slave State; because it indicated a
settled determination to tolerate no diversity
Of opinion upon any measure which the South
demanded.
