traitors to their party. In defiance of the

Of the sth of January, giving the Douglas
construction to the Democratic platform OF

Lecompton swindle in its worst form and fea-

H Mr. Douglas is now, b, concert Of the
Lecomptonltes, regularly snubbed and de-
MED the ordinary courtesies of debate in the
Senate, Whenever he rises to speak. On the
End inst, he called up his Kansas resolutions
and was proceeding with some remarks, when
he was checked by Vice President Bfecken-
ridge, who called for the special order of the
day. Mr.. Douglas observed that this was
not the practice of the Chamber, and asked il
there was a serious purpose to check his re-
marks; to which Mr.. Breckenridge replied in
the affirmative with much emphasis of man
ner. The Vice President has been a warm
personal and political friend of Douglas, and
owes his elevation to the Douglas section o.
the party. That lie should have united
himself with the Lecomptonites, and violate
the: prophecies of his position, to crush his
old friend is heartless ingratitude.

Dxnfh Of FIR, emau HINT.

Freeman Hunt, the we'll known editor Of
Hunts Merchants Magazine died ut New
York, on Tuesday last, from inflammation Of
the brain. His friends will long cherish his
memory for his generous, amiable, noble
and frank disposition, and he will be re-
membcred by his fellow citizens for his val
liable Magazine, and his excellent contribu
tons to the commercial and statistical litera-
ture of the country. He has left behind him
q memorial of his life, that will be moro
durable than that OF more ambitious men,
He rose by his own energies and industry.
He was a practical printer, and received all
his education in printing office, and his
first efforts with his pen were made as re-
porter and local editor Of newspaper. lie
commenced his Magazine without capital or
aid from any source; its design was exclu-
sively his own. He personally canvassed for
subscribers, prepared its contents and super
intended its printing. For many years he
sustained it by the most pcrsevcring and in
cesant exertions, till it was established upon
permanent basis, and began to yield an
| ample revenue; and in latter years it richly
remuneratcd him for all his early sacrifices
and labors, and gave him an enviable fame
as useful citizen and writer. His career
affords useful example to excite the por-
tionless boy to struggle and labor for ar
honorable place in the Republic of letters OIL
; business.
Within few years, it is said, he had faller
under the influence Of habits that conquer
The strongest and ablcst men, and which h,
struggled against resolutely, but with only
partial success.

animation, the testimony being insufficient to
justify his commitment or discharge. The

NNHE undersigned continue the manufacture Of
u their celebrated Candles, OF the different sizes
four, FIVE, six and seven to the pound.
ALL WARRANTED FULL WEIGHT.
Consumers will find il greatly their interest to use
these Candles in preference to those that are sold By
COUNT.
Many Candles that really seven to the pound are
branded and sold rs skies, King difference against
the consumer Of five pounds to the box. The yaria-
tion usually made in the price is not proporoned to
this difference, the following statement shows:
A BOX or SEvENs CONTAINS 2i7 CANDLES, AND IS
SOLD FOR IL POUNDS, WHICH Is THE AcTU Al WEIGHT.
BOX OF II o., OR "SHoRT WEIGHT SrNEs,'
CONTAINS ONLY 2i0 CAsDLEs, SAME SIZE AS THE
SEVENS, AND IS SOLD FOR FORTY POUNDS.
Surprising the price Of the former to be 20 cents and
the latter IS cents there will he difference NJ tventy
cents in price and Candles in count per box, in
favor OF the full weight Candles to retailers and con-
sumers and this will be increased five cents per box
for every cent advance In price.
Those interested would do well to examine the sub
ject for themselves.

turnpike, fifteen miles below Louisville, was
