UNION PRESIDENTIAL TIoKET.-The New York
Tribune tayors union of all the opposition to the
Democrats at the next Presidential election on certain
conditions. First:
We propose that the Republicans as the larger
section Of the opposition be permit ed to name one of
their number for President to be sustained by the en-
tire opposition; while the Americans and National
Wings propose the Vice-President. The ticket thus
formed shall he supported by the entire opposition,
each party and each State making its own platform
and none being committed to any but his own doc
trines propositions and the united opposition to be
designated Republican, American, Union, Peoples
Party, or whatever else its voters in any locality may
ChoOse;h
If this be not Unacceptable it proposes:
Let the other wing of the opposition name the
President, conceding the Yice-Presdent to the Re-
puhlicans with this single condition. agreed to on all
hands, and proclaimed to the public, that the admin.
istratOn thus formed shall do all in its power to CON
fine slavery within the limits of the existing slave
Statesn
This sounds about as visionary aud impracticable
as any of the many communist schemes that have
troubled the brain of Horace Greeley.

nothing to be feared in case an attack

GETTING SICK OF THE RUFFIAN.-
The Kansas correspondent of the Gin.
cinnati Times, under date of June 1,
writes:
Montgomery's banditti are still
committing depredations at Fort Scott
such as stea ling horses, robbing hou-
ses, outraging women and children,
&c. There is not, neither has there
been, anything of a political nature in
these troubles. The Free-State men
in this part OF Kansas repudia tie Mont
90 merry and his men as Free-State.-
They do not belong to our side Of the
honse.
AS the Free State men of Kansas
are heartily sick of the banditti and
their leader, who have been commit
ting inhuman atrocities on Proslavery
and conservative Free,State men, we
suppose the Republican papers out
side will soon change their tune from
praiSing to condemning the murderers
and robbers. But will they apologize
for the lies they have already told!-

soldiers made two thrusts forwards, a
third on the ground, and then struck

With all this ferocity, he was ex-
tremely superstitious. lie made his
officers pray loud and long before their
companies; and like Caesar, was fear
fully punctilious as to which foot he
placed first on his carriage step, or
first put in motion when commencing
a amarch. In his domestic relations
this barbarian displayed the same &C.
centricity as marked every other phase
of his life. lie quarreled with his
wife and son to whom he preferred his
nephews, the Princes GortschakoH,
and he refused to see or recognize his
son; but when Catharine made the
young Suvarofan officer other Guards,
the father said, "As the Empress
chooses / shall have a son, be It so;
but, for myself, know nothing Of the
matter" lie had also a daughter a
maid Of honor at Court. and who was
chiefly remarkable for her idiotism. -
After an absence of twelve years, the
Marshal, having appointed a meeting
with her, in the house ofa third party,
the girl looked at him, and said, "Ah,
father, how big you have grown since
l last saw youp In French this
would have been a play upon the

ble blunder.
This horrible brigand, who was said
to have the body Of an ape, the eye

with respect to money, the most disin-
terosted and generous Of men. From
time to time Catharine offered him
splendid presents, all of which he re-
jected. lie gave away handsful OF
money in charity; and it was only
when men asked him to grant them
their lives that he refused. One OF
the most peculiar traits related of him,
is that he used frequently to shut him

languages, and that he spoke Hebrew
better than German or French. Aftei

dress of his soldiers from the Rus
sian to French fashion, Suvarof, dis.
gusted at a costume which he consid.
cred as too effeminate, exclaimed
"Hair powder and curls are not can
mons, and tails are not bayonets."-
This sarcasm, which, in the Russian
tongue, formed an apothegm in rhyme,
having spread through the army, was
the cause which induced the Emperor
to recall Suvarof, and dismiss him
from the service.

The Republican Officials Of Ohio are great at

by declaring the complete innocence Of man
who stood indicted by the Grand Jury, and
whom the Attorney General charged with hav-
ing embezzled over half million of the public
money. His next performance, in the same
speech, was false and impudent assertion to
the effect, that the Republicans had done work
upon the State House Yard at many thousands
Of dollars less than was estimated by the Dem.
ocrats for the same work We exposed this at
the time; but we have now to call attention to
part Of the work in the State House Yard
which is positively disgrace(ulto to the Republican
Commissioners. If they have made any savings
it is by putting up work of such character,
thatit already needs to be done over again. -
We have an abundance Of fine, durable lime
stone in the Sciota Valley, close to Columbus.
The State House itself is built oft, but to con-
struct the base for the iron fence and the pillars

Bile, dilapidated spectacle. They ale disgrace

this statement; but our readers can easily verify
