Affecting Incident.

On one of the many bridges in Ghent stand two
large brazen images of father and son, who obtained
this distinguished mark of admiration of their fellow
citizens by the following incident:
Both the father and the were, for some offense
against the State, condemned to die. Some favora-
BILE circumstances appearing on the side of the son,
he was granted remission of his sentence under Ger.
tain provisions; in short he was offered pardon on
a most cruel and barbarous conditon-namely, that
he would become the executioner of his father! He
at first resolutey refused to preserve his life by
fatal and detestabe. This is not to be wondered
there are very few sons who would not have spurned
with adherence life sustained on condition SO hor.
rid and unnatural. The son. though long inflexible,
was at length overcome by tears and entreates of
fond father, who represented to him that, at all
events his (he fathers) life was forfeited and that
it would be the greatest possible consolation for him
in his last moments to think that in his death he was
an instrument of his sons preservation.
The youth consented to adopt the horrible means
Of recovering his life and liberty he lifted the AK
but as it was about to fall his arm sunk nerveless
and the Ak dropped from his hand. Had he as many
lives as hairs, he could have yielded them all, one
after another, rather than again conceive, much less
perpetrate, such an act Life, liberty, everything
vanished before the dearer interests of ial affection
he fell upon his fathers neck, and, embracing him
triumphanty exclaimed: "My father my father
we die together" aud then called for another execu
toner to fulfill the sentence of the law.
Hard must their hearts indeed be-bereft of every
sentiment of virtue, every sensation of humanity
| who could stand insensible spectators of such q
scene. sudden peal of involuntary applause,
mixed with groans and sghs rent the air. The exc
cution was suspended and on simple report Of the
transaction to the authorities, both were pardoned
High rewards and honors were conferred on the SON.
and finally those two admirable brazen images were
raised to commemorate transaction so honorable to
human nature and transmit it to the instruction and
emulation of posterity The statute represents the
son in the very act of letting fall the ak.

The Recent Elections.

The result Of the recent elections in Ken.
lucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Alaba.
ma and Texas is now we'll enough known to
satisfy US that the Democrats have been sue.
ceeslul in all OF them on the State tickets
and although it is true the Opposition have
gained three or four Congressman, ow.
ing to local causes, or bad management on
the part Of the Democracy, yet the political
ch ar acter of each of these States is fixed.
and tn ey will be found on the Democratic
side in 1860.
The result in Kentucky is peculiarly graf,
flying to us, os there the Democracy very
generally fought the battle on the Popular
Sovereignty platform, and Magofin, elected
Governor, and Peyton and several others
elected to Congress, are warm friends of
that doctrine. The Opposition took ground
in favor of Congressional Intervention for
the protection Of slavery in the Territories,
end the election of the Democratic candi
dates ,oho opposed the dccirine, j, the best
evidence that could be given Of the sound
ness of the Popular Sovereignty doctrine,
and the probable ucquiescence in it Of most
OF the Southern States before another year.
The majority for Moore, the Democratic
candidate for Governor in Alabama, is from
90. 900 to $4,000.
Hon. Sam Houston, who has renounced
his former political heresies and showed
symptoms of halfway Democracy before
the election, has been elected Governor oil
Texas.

The Principle the Same.

The doctrine of non-intervention by Con.
gress in the affairs of the Territories is ex.
ceedingly popular among the Opposition in
the South as we'll as with their brethren in
North. The Opposition State Convention
OF Georgia lately resolved that Congress can
legislate on the subject Of slavery in the
Territories-precisely what the celebrated
Philadelphia Platform resolved--but only in
one way however,-tor its protection; while
the Republicans insist that the legislation
must be for its exclusion. The principle is
the same, the difference being in the sppli.
cation. The Georgia Opposition have great
faith in the virtues Of non. interVenlion--so
haze their brethren oil the North, bu. with
q "slght vsriatien." 4 ae1 :sa
