It is with much pleasure that we are able
to announce the appointment Of Messrs.
Adams 4 Fay, a. agents Of the Peoria
Marine 4 Ere Insurance Company for
this city. For some time past. the COM

retain an agent in Davenport, as the City
Council, BY their acts in discharging the
Police and withdrawing the street lamps.
opened An excellent field for the yillainous
works of the incendiary They have, how.
ever, concluded to run the risk Of opening
an office. and have appointed the above
gentlemen - their agents. The Peoria
was chartered in lS4l, and commenced
business in 1853. Its stockholders, direc-
tors and managers comprise the most sotid
men in Illinois-men of known wealth and
standing, who from long experience in the
management of similar companies are pecu-
liarly adapted for the positions they occupy.
ISAAC UNDERHILL, Esq, the President Of
the Peoria, is a gentleman of large wealth,
and no devOtes his whole time to the great
interests of the company. CHARLEY HoL-
LEND, the talented Secretary. is well known
as one Of the best and most successful busi
ness men in central Illinois, and as Secreta-

which most companies transact their busi-

his claim for loss. he gets his money. and
what is more, he is sure of beirg literally
dealt with. We have known many ins' an
ces, here in Davenport, where losses have
been adjusted and paid within ten days fter
the fire. and in no instance has the loser had
to wait over thirty days before he obtained

and are somewhat acquainted with their
way of conducting business at home, and
We speak from the book when we say that
no better or safer company does business in
the United States than the Peoria.

a Dutch Wedding.

All marriages are made in Heaven-so
the adage runs-hut the Democrat tells of
one that was made in Chicago-which is a
very different place indeed
In the family of very respectable citi-
zen of this place, lived, as servant, a
Young and pretty Swiss girl, who was en-
gagged in marriage to lover of hers who is
at present in ST.. Louis. and with whom she
kept up a constant correspondence. A few
days since Katrine fell i'll. and her kind en-
ployers sent her to bed, employed physi-
clan, and used every exeriion to restore her
to health and happiness-for her disease
seemed to be as much fever of the mind
as of the body At the end of four DAYS
the doctor pronounced the patient well. and
much against her will, compelled her to sit
down to some sewing. Watching her OPP
portunity, Katrine escaped from the house,
and fled to that of a neighbor, into whose
bed she crept, and where she remained, deaf
to all expostulations and entreaties, for three
days longer. At length her entertainer lost
all patience, and procured an order for her
removal 10 the Hospital. Armed with this
document, she was returning to- her home,
when she met an acquaintance, German,
who had the day before buried his wife, and
who had three small children thus left moth
erless. Into his sympathetic ear the lady
poured her story OF her unwelcome visitor,
and asked him to come along with her and
help send Miss Katrine to TIE hospital
But on arriving at the house where Kat
rine lay, her youth and beauty struck the
fancy of the susceptible widower, and his
heart melted within him. A conversation
ensued, at the end of which the widower
minated his Willingness to heal his bruised
affections by the smiles and caresses of an
other spouse.
''Will you do it ?" exclaimed Katrine.
springing from the bed. ''Do you like me?
Look at me. Do you like me 90
The widowed spouse did like her--but so
much eagerness rather shocked him, and he
prudently resolved to sleep over it
He announced his determination said he
would return in the morning if he decided
TO again commit malrimony, and departed,
leaving the fair Katrine plunged into the
deepest dependency and doubt and a feath
err bed
But in the morning the reckless man re-
turned. whom one marriage had not made
wise, and without much circumlocution de-
clared himself ready to wed again Kat
zine joyfully embraced him and his offers,
rose, donned her robes, and at once set forth
with him to his domicil, where Immediately
the twain were made one flesh.

This is no new thing under the sun, but
il is seldom that the facts are disclosed by
Southern papers. Here is the latest humil
iatiug record: I
The Abbeville (Ala.) Banner says thai
Patience Hicks, young woman about l
years of age, who was held as q slave BY
John Guilford, citizen of Henry County
under bill Of sale made to him by one
James G. Wilson, was brought before Judge
Williams, under a writ of habeas corpus
sued out by Mrs. Casa Ann Hicks, the
mother of said girl, who arrived in the
town of Abbeville on Tuesday, the 9th inst
On the trial Of the case it was proved that
Wilson went to the house of Mrs. II. in Co
umbus, Georgia, about tho first Of las
March, where he remained sick for seyera
weeks. On his recovery, he desired L
marry the young lady, and finding that hel
mother was opposed to their marriage, hC
stole her away and brought her to the
house of tho Rev. John Guilford, to whom
he sold her for slave. On his return tc
Columbust be procured her brother, boy
about s. years old, and sold him to gen
tleman in Georgia. The girl has workcC
on the plantation, and is considerably sun
burnt which makes her appear rather dark
The girl Patience had an infant daughter
The case was tried before Judge Williams
Of the Probate Court and the mother anC
child were released from the seryic,
of Guilford. The Banner states, how
ever, that tho counsel for Guilford hav'
taken the case to the Supreme Court, no
with the expectation of again enslaving th'
girl, but with the expectation OF clearin!
Guilford Of the costs imposed upon him b.
the Judge Of Probate.

The German Republicans Of Wheeling,
Va, gave a musical serenade on the 29th
ult., to Senator Caldwell, who lives three
miles and half from the city, to signify
the great qualification which it gave them
to learn Of the honorable position which had
been recently rendered him, and which still
moro honorably and msnfully ho had nc
cepted in the ranks Of the "great Republican
party"
"No wonder" said the Senator in reply,
"that you Germans, and other laboring men,
feel an interest in the progress and in the
final ascendancy Of the principles of the
Republican party. It is empbatically the
party of the white laboriug men Of this
country. While the Democratic party is the
favorite party Of the aristocratic clement Of
our government; while it promotes the in.
terests and follows the dicta of the oligarch-
ical body Of southern Shareholders, to the
prejudice of the interests Of free white work.
ing men, the Republican party has made
the interests of our working men, of oui
small producers in the soil and in the work
shops, its fundamental basis. 1t was puz
zle to him how any man who wrought witt
his hands, and who valued the dignity o
the sweat of his brow, could wavcr in bis
choice between the principals of the two par
ties Free labor would never be honorable
never could command that respect to which
it was entitled, while ever it was diserimin
ated against, as between it and slave labor
Whenever it was degraded to the level o
compulsory slave labor, or as it had beer
by the Democratic party, subordinated, i
must partake of the degradation Of slave la
bor Every man ought to be able to Sc,
this. The great principles of the Republi
can party we're the same that Henry Clay
had contcnded for in his life time, viz: en-
couragement of the labors cf free white
working men, whether tillers Of the soil, me
chanics or manufacturers. So plain wer,
these facts becoming in the eyes Of the peo
pie, and so tired were they now of the dis
astors and prostrations which have beef
brought upon the industrial interests of th'
country, through the principles of the Dem
ocratic party, that they are about to riseup il
their strength and hurl their oppressors from
the places which they so unworthily occu
pied"

From the olsrslana Morning Lead,


Mr.. EpIToR II have read the remarks
of your correspondent, in this mornings pa
per in respect to the election of VIM. G
Gholson to the Supreme Bench, and have
no fault to find Herewith.
1t seems to me that the bare fact of his
owning and selling negro slaves when about
to leave the state of Missigppi, some twelve
or fifteen years ago, ought not to disqualify
him for any office in tho gift of the Repub-
lican party.
said this distinctly in my speech last
week in Elyria; but said further, that ]
could not vote for Judge Gholson, under
present circumstances, because l had long
ago formed and expressed the resolve not
to vote for any man for Supreme Judge, who
would assist in the remotest degree, in car
rying out the Fugitive Slave enactment Of
1851, in Ohio.
Perhaps am over scrupulous in this mat
ter, but | must be allowed to vote according
TO the dictates of my Judgment.
l have been accused of "making an at
tack" upon Judge Gholson, and OF reciting
democratic ISLANDERS" against him for the
purpose of indulging some latent spite.
This is all false. My relations with
Judge Gholson have always been Of the nos'
pleasant character, and l have never spoken
of him in public or private, without extoll
ing him in the highest terms, as a courteous
gentleman and profound lawyer.
desire the friends of Judge Gholson t
understand that cherish none but the kind
est feelings toward him, and think l may
say with truth, that l would rather see hin
elected Judge of our Supreme Court, thar
any lawyer in the state of the class that ia
vor the constitutionality of the Fugitive En-
actment. OF course ] prefer him to his
pro-slavery opponent
had, long before his nomination, pledg
ed myself to vote for no man for that station
who was not fully committed against thai
infamous enactment; and, believing thai
Judge Gholson honestly entertains the opin
ion, equally with Judge Swan, that the en-
actment must be respected and enforced un
til repealed. l have thought it advisable
to say, as do now say, that, for this cause
and this alone, cannot give to him my
vote.
seurrility of anonymous newspaper cor
respondents will never move me from wei
considered determination,

to him of asking Congress for thirty millions
of dollars to get bribery fund for the next
Presidential election,
Every historian should have a copy Of
this likeness to remember Buchanan for he
will leave no other thing behind him worth
recoIlecting. The second number, We per.
ceiVe, will contain the likeness Of Flor nee
himself the third of Wendell, the fourth ol
Clancy Jones, and the fifth-but we don't
think the speculation will last any longer
all, however, will be on steel.
For the first number Buck himself con-
tributes an article on the fuse Of money il
