I The leaders get their agents into tight

This is a, shocking thought, an atrocious
spectacle, and we stand amazed that the

eternal infamy the leaders of the Aboli-

The reports of our rifles had reached the
cabin, which, as l afterward learned, was
not twenty rods from where we camped.
The inmates, numbering some fourteen by
the addition of emigrants who had stop
ped in the storm, came out with dogs and
guns, and reached the spot but moment
too late. Blair had lodged his ak SO
deeply in the head of wolf that the
corners remained fast, and the others tore
him down. They were literally shot down
with their fangs holding to the torn flesh,
and his warm blood jetting over their
shaggy skins. The mangled body was
snatched from them, and 1 cut down from
the tree and carried to the cabin.
I was all winter recovering from my
injuries. The awakening from the dream
of death was terrible awakening, and l
suffered more than pen can describe.
Blair was buried on the edge of the

of Congress, to the effect that he (Greeley)
and Senator DOUGLAS had, in the parlor
of the latter, made bargain by which he
was to support Mr., DouaLAs for re-elec-
tion of Senator, thus answers the charge:

to-dsy's proceedings, that you have been
commenting on my dispatch and on me-.
in terms which seem, so far as can make
ont what you are at, to require no COM
ment on my part. except in SO far as they
affect political adversary. Senator
Douglas and ] have been acquaintances
for ten years or more, during which time
each has given and taken hard blows, but
trust no foul ones. am willing to call
the account balanced, if he is. Once only
in our lives did we agree on political
question-tbat of resisting the attempt to
force an .abhorred constitution on the
people of Kansas. During the struggle
on that point was called to Washington,
aud went to his house, where we had two
conversations on pending political topics.
There was at least one witness in each
instance, and that witness is now Re-
publican member of the House.
! Never before nor since have Mr.. D.
and conversed on politics, save as oppo-
nents: and on that occasion I am glad to
have q witness to confirm my own clear
recollection that Mr.. Douglas reelection
to the Senate, or his future election to any
post whate ever. Was not even mentioned.
And never did any letter, message, or
word, pass between Us implying desire on
his part that should, or promise on
mine that I would, support him, at any
time. for any Office whatever, Aud who
ever has at any time reported to you
