Ed- The editor Of the Athens Post was present
at the recent meeting of the Democracy Of Bradley,
called appoint delegates to our approaching State
Convention. He evidently saw nothing to encour>
age his hope Of an overthrow Of the Democracy in
Tennessee as may be seen from the following anus
ing paragraph which we clip from that paper:
Resolutions we're offered, debated, and part
adoped ard part not and of which we may
have something 10 say hereafter. The result was
the meeting agreed 10 disagree upon The currency
question, but when it to voting they would all
90 sthe ticket" whether hard soft, metal
ic or mixed. While Inc debate was g4ing on, we
ticed Americans and Wings laughing and chuckling
al the prospect of crevasse; but we sdmonish
them against such sdelusion. The Democracy are
good deal like gang Of cats-you hear them
waulng, splitting and threstOing like they were
going each other TO pieces, when in fact they
are only propag Hing the species So of our demos
cratic friends--they split up, divide, take antagO-
nisic positions, lay their hands on one anOther's
throats, and swesr than the army did in
Flanders; but somehow or other they continu-
ally increasing. and when election day comes they
are all thar, and more too.

A-S-
cape Arrest.
Conrad Seibold-one of the ten persons who es-
capped from Columbus, (Ohio) Jail recently was dis
covered few days afterwards in MIfln township,
Franklin county, aud officers started in pursuit of
him. but the prisoner escaped arrest by blowing his
own brains out When first discovered by the Off
GERS he running across field. When the Off
GERS gained Oh him he displayed q revolver and a
single barTeled pistol, with which he threatened to
kill the first mau who attempted TO arrest him He
continued running, and the officers followed, firing
several shots at him from their pistols without effect
The chase continued for hours, over hills and
through fields and valleys, Seibold sometimes
ming slow and keeping his pursuers at a safe dis
lance with his loaded pistols. A number of people
joined the exciting chase.
SeibOld finally got on the track of the Central
Ohio Railroad, and took refuge in The first bridge
over Alum Greek, about three miles East Of Colum
bus Seibold went over to the east side of the
bridge, stopped and sWore he would kill the first
man who attempted TO cross the bridge, at the same
time pointing his pistols at the officers, who attempt
ed to persuade him to lay down his arms and submit,
promising TO use him kindly, and using every poss-
BILE argument Siebold told them he would give
them twice the amount of the reward if they would
let him go, and that he would be taken alive.
Half hour was spent in thus parleying, when the
officers sent to a neighboring farm house aud pro-
cured loaded rifle, with which they hoped to intim-
idate him But the desperate man was not to be
inundated Officer White took the rife, and call
ed upon him to surrender, saying that they we're
determined to arrest him, dead alive. To this
SiebOld made no reply, but stepped to the end of
the bridge, where the stone embankment is about
twenty feet high. AS the officer about to raise
the gun to his shoulder Siebold turned his back to
the crowd, placed the muzzle Of his single barrel
pistol between his teeth fired, and fell hesdlong
down the precipice-dead!
Seibod, who Wts a Germsn, about so years Of
age, was charged with the murder Of Henry Kerr
rell, ami reward Of FIVE hundred dollars was offer
ed for his -cspture.

Irvds Of T1gtnsa
Give me the drink, which nature distils,
Deep in the heart the mountan,--
Which gushes forth in sparkling Fills
From its failing fountain
There's health in the draught, when freely qusaed,
And IT frees the heart from anguish,
And It eOols the trsin, Summer rain
cOols the flowers that languish.
How sweet to the ear the sound it makes,
Over the precipice rushing
Or. winding gently through meadow brakes,
orup from the green Swsrd gushing:
Forever along it bears song
or praise to the glorious Oliver,
Who gave the earth, of priceless worth,
The fountain, and riil, and river.
When eleaves to the mouth the parched tongue
When fevt- within is raging
Words have not told, nor poet sung,
How sweet the dr,ught-hOE sssuaging
Their the fancy teens with glorious dreams
OF wate- in deserts yelling
OF green cingng to rocky springs,
And Of rs to rivers swelling.
Thea give me the drink which nature distils,
Deep in the heart of the mountain,
Which gushes forth in sparkling rls
From its never falling fountain;
| Away with the bowl, which brings to the soul
| But shame, and disgra e, and madness;
And give me the draught, when freely quaGed
| That Besses the heart with gadness.

Reception of the Presidents Message In



The Vera CruI ProgreSO speaks in the highest
terms Of Mr.. BuchAnan's Message, especially that
portion which relates to Mexico. After giving q
Tesuns of this part Of the Message, the PrOgreso
says:
I'VE can hut congratulate ourselves on the change

power Of self-preserVstiOn failing the law Of nations
would authorize the people of the North TO take

We eau never believe hat 9 bod of illustrious pa

Mr. Buchanan considers unique 10 the world.
For these reasons we repeat that We congratulate
ourselves on the new aspect Of foreign relations,

the greatest Importance relative TO our actual and

derive the promise that the cause Of The liberal par

The Rutherford Telegraph says, that the people
" are now looking for some man upon whom they
can rely to pilot the ship of State of the break
ers and they kre almost unanimously turning their
eyes to Mr. BELL" Towhat estate does the Telegraph
rsferl II it refers TO Tennessee, then win they
have turned their eyes" in vain Mr.. BELL has
no idea Of making the race for Governor. He is
unwilling TO test the temper of outraged people
by meeting them upon the huStings and attempting
q defence Of his course for the last six years as
their Senator in Congress Mr.. BILL knows that
he owes it to his Own Party-thst ne owes 1t his
political opponents-thst he eWesi to the people Of
Tennessee, and to the grave questions which have
agitated the country and in which he, in position
Of high public trust, has taken active part, to
take the head Of his forces in approaching State
canvass, and have HIS conduct as . public servant
passed upon content to rise fall with the fat Of
the people But this would not be in keeping with
the established character Of the man. Il is not
Tennessee but Msssaohuset aud the other free
Sites hat Mr.. BELL desires to pass upon his con-
duet. From the former he has heard nothing but q
steady disapproval of his conduct. From the latter
he has hal cordial greetings and earnest praise
HIS re urn bone was not characterized by anything
rendered him by GRERLEI aud others, that they
might do honor iIustrious a oo-labOrer.
The present portion of Mr. BELL is one of hue
initiation and shame, After life time Of rewards
and Onors from cSnhding people, an inward cen
Eciousness Of wrong and iugrai'ude has Invested
him Of all msniiDess aud rendered him afraid to
meet that people, uIning him to their sectional en-
imies he only source from whence he can derive
hope ard consolation. His history should serve as
useful lesson and constant warning to all public
men who come after him.
Such is the feeling and sentiment of the entire
Democracy Of Tennessee towards Mr. BELL, and, we
believe, of fOur-Gfibs of the people Of the State,
irrespective o. party. If Mr.. or his friends
think difsrealy lei them make fair test Of it 10

him forward as their standard bearer and leader.
