The Opposition increase is but slight-not
equal, probably, to the ratio Of population; while
the Democratic vote has fallen off more than Serex
thousand Bad as the Administration is, it has
not yet alenated Seven Thousand supporters in
the metropolis of Mr.. Buchanans own State-if it
had. the Opposition vote would have been largely
increased. The naked truth is, that at least Five
thousand votes at the State and Ten Thousand at
the Presidential Election of SO were foully polled
in Philadelphia for the Democratic candidates, and
the money which bought this wholesale corruption
of tie ballot-boXes was in good part raised fro n
expectant Office holders and Government bankers in
this City. Washington did part; but this City
took the lead. And that money, those frauds,
made Mr.. Buchanan President.
III. Illinois was opposed to Buchanan aud the
policy of which he was the embodiment. There
was but one way to give him her vOte-n,mely, by
dividing his opponents. To this end, certain man
egers of the American" party in that State were
early suborDed, and were throughout the canvass
the puppets and stool-pigeons of the Buchanan
wire-workers. They were paid to keep up the
pretense that Fremont was not real candidate
that the contest lay between Buchanan and Fill
more-and that only Fillmore could take the vote
of Illinois from Buchanan. Those who kept up
this clamor knew better, but their dupes did not.
Ten or fifteen thousand votes were thus thrown
away on the Fillmore ticket in Egypt and its
vicinity, which would have gone for Fremont if
they had supported his vote would exceed Fill
Ill of II.
vote of illinois, through faith reposed in men who
protested to be for Fillmore, but who were secret
ly working for money and Buchanan.

in another apartment, did not think anything
unusual of his actions. After killing the entire
family, the father secured all the doors and sat
down to write, but hearing Martineau come, he

REMOVAL OF JUDGE LoRING-The action of
the Governor of Massachusetts in removing
Judge Loring from the Office of Judge of Pro-
bate for Suffolk County, in accordance with the
request of three successive legislatures has caus
ed wall from the democratic press that out
does in dolor the lamentations of Jeremiah.
They utter long-winded declamations about sac
riicing man for opinions sake, &C., that are
particularly refreshing in these days when the
heads of Douglas democrats, to say nothing of
those suspected of Republicanism, are taken off
without mercy. The editor and proprietor of
the New Hampshire Patriot is about as thor
ough democrat, according to the modern ac-
ccptation of that term, as can be found in the
country yet because he in an article written
after the election, deprecated the effect produced
upon the election in that State by the introduc-
ton of Lecomptonism as test of party fealtv,

age in the form ofpubishing the laws, &c. Here
is liberality with a vengeance!

among their number some originals, it must be
conceded. 1t is related of the President of the
Senate of Minnesota, that on recent OCCASION

Shocking Tragedy in California.

Michael Brennan murdered himself and fami-
ly by the administration of prussic acid at Grass
Valley, on the 23d of February Mr. Brennan
went to California about two years since as the
agent of the Mount Hope Mining Company
lie had lost all of his own means which were
considerable, and was greatly embarrassed. OF
Mr. Brenan's family and his apparent reasons
for their destruction the Grass Valley Teleqraph
says:
1.-The high social position which the parties
held in our midst, and wherever they were
known, has added greatly to the intensity of
feeling and interest which the event has produc-
ed. Mr.. Brennan was man of high intellectual
culture, having been graduate of Trinity Col
lege, Dublin. Mrs. Brennan was also lady of
very superior intellectual and social cndow
ments; she spoke some four or five languages.
The children were beautiful, intelligent and ex-
ceedingly interesting. They had been residents
OF Grass Valley for the past year and half and
during that time Mrs. Brenan in particular, had
acquired the love of all who knew her, by her
amiability, her good sense and kindly disposi-
ton. The most perfect union existed between
the husband and wife, and both, at all times.
exhibited the greatest affection for their chill
dren. All who have been intimate with them.
unite in saying that happier family could not
be found. 1t was this very intensity of affection
which could not bear to see the beings he idol
lied know adversely that maddened the brain
OF loving husband and doting father, and thus
brought on the terrible catastrophe.
"The evidence and attending circumstances
show most conclusiyely that Mrs b. was an un-
conscious party to the dreadful tragedy. How
the poison was administered to her is and ever
must be mystery"
He obtained a large quantity of Prussic acid
from San Francisco, and on Sunday sent the
servants to church that his operations might not
be interrupted. A letter from lady of Grass
Valley gives connected account of the affair.
SIT is supposed that he did not tell his wife
that he had lost heavily, and was deeply inyoly-
ed, more than ten minutes before her death
AS she was totally unacquainted with her hus.

situation and what he meant to do with himself.
the shock caused her to feel faint, and she laid
down on the sofa. At this time he handed her
