tIal election. In 1922, Fremont had MAORI
~ of eighty thousand over Buchanan, in that
state, whilst the Fremont and Fillmore vote
bout TOO hundred and fifty thousand. At the
election for State officers which came of few
days ago, the Fremont and Fillmore forces
were united on three of the candidates aud their
majority is only eighteen thousand, whilst the
four candidates on the Republican ticke which
the Americans refused to support, are success
fu b, only few hundred. In New Jersey,
which, IN 1856, elected an Opposition Cover
nor by 2600, we have carried both branches Of
the Legislature and the Opposition have bat
1900 majority for Governor In Massachusetts,
We gain several Senators aai large number oil
Representatives. In Maryland We have both
branches of the Legislature. In Louisiana We
have carried everything with the exception Of
one Congressman and the members OF the Le-
gisIature from New Orleans. The Harper's
Ferry dose is rather heavy for 'Republlcanism.'
-MUEDER IN SOMERSET CoUNTY. Some ten
OF twelve days ago, dead body was found in
Milford tow nship, Somerset county, which was
identified as the remains OF man by the name
of Weimer, citizen OF that township. Wei
Her came to his death by being shot with
rife, the bullet having entered, apparently,
from behind. A gun was lying upon The body
when found, while near by forked stick was
driven in the ground, as if intended for rest
for the gun. The suPposition is that Wemer
was shot by man named Prtts, with whom he
had gone out hunting. What would seem to
make this probable is the allegation that an IN
proper intimacy existed between Pritts and The
wife of Weimer. They have both been arres-
ted and imprisoned.

AN APOLOGY FOR OLD BRowN KNOCKED IN
THE HEAD.-Several of the Republican prints
put IN plea for the conduct OF old Brown at
Harper's Ferry, that he had been cruelty trea-
ted by the pro-savery men in Kansas, who had
murdered his son and destroyed his property.
Hence, they say that his recen. conduct must be
set down to the very natural desire of being o.
Uenged upon tie party which had SO inexcusa-
bly, injured him as to cause partial if not en-
tire, insanity. How much truth there is in
ibis may be seen by the following extract from
the leading Free State paper in Kansas, the
Herald OF Freedom, October %:
''ln the sPTin, of 1876, when the news of
the threatened siege OF Lawrence reached John
Brown, Jr., who was a member of the Topeka |
Legislature, he organized company of about
6O men, and marched towards Lawrence. Ar
rlVIng at Palmyra, be learned of the sacking of
the town and the position OF the people. He !
reconnoltered Tor time 10 the vicinity, but f. |
naily ma ched back towards Ossa watomie. |
The night before reaching the place, when on |
iy lew miles away, they encamped for the |
night. Old John Brown, who, we. believe, was |
with the party, singled out, with himself, sew
en- men. These he marched to point egh, /
miles above the mouth of Foltowatom,s Greek. !
and called from ibs,f bpds al their several resi- /
drnceS, at tie hour OF midnight, on The Oath of |
May, 1856, Allen Wilkinson, VIM. Sherman.
Wm. P. Doyle, VIM. Doyle and Drury DOYLE.
