After several speeches and relations Of ex-
p~erience, the following resolutions were offered
and adopted:
Resolved. That the Soldiers of this Conven-
| ton will vote for no candidate for President
of the United States /; for member Of either
branch of Congress, or for member of our
| State Legislature, who will not vote to grant
pensions to the officers and soldiers of the wa
of 1872.
Resolved, That we recommend to the Off
GERS and Soldiers of the war of 1872, now re-
siding in this State, the holding of a State
| Convention at the City of Columbus, on the
6th day of January next, for the purpose Of
| efFecting a more perfect organization in our
work of obtaining justice from our Govern
ment.
On motion, DIR. R. P. Mann was appointed
Corresponding Secretary, for the purpose Of
comforting with others who have not partici-
pated in this Convention.
The resolution provides for a State Conven-
ton of the veterans of the Wars of I6l2-l5
in Columbus. on the 9th day of january
day fraught with memories that viii and should
warm the blood that now in age slowly and
coldly courses through their veins, each pulsa,
ton being as it were, q stroke of the funeral
kneii.
A resolution thanking Mr.. Wilkins, and
Messrs. Turner & McBratney, was offered and
adopted.
After an affecting address from Gen: Ben
| son, the Convention adjourned sine die, but the
veterans had another ordeal to pass through.
Hundreds of bright eyes greeted them, and
cheer after cheer welcomed them on their
march through the village, and when drawn ur
in line, hundreds of the fair sex, comprising
the aged, the matronly, snd the blushing maid
ems passed in front of the line, proud TO give
their hands to the men to whom they owed
their liberties.
We noticed at this time an affecting Incl
dent. A fair girl of but seventeen summers
threw her arms around the neck Of the oldest
of the old soldiers and afectionately kissed hi
time-worn and weather-beaten brow.
The whole affair was one Of which the We
terans may be proud ; and the people of thii
town and vicinity viii be kindly remembered
at the freside of every one who assembled herr
to demand justice from their country.

Attacked by Guerrillas.
New ORLEANS, Oct. 10.-The town Of
Brownsville, Texas, has been attacked by %
guerrillas and FIVE of the citizens killed. The
Jail was broken open and all the prisoners set
at liberty. The excitement was intense. The
Mexicans had sent aid from Matamoras. The
guerrillas were headed by Cartinas, who shot
the Sheriff of Brownyille last July for attemp-
ting to arrest him. A party of horsemen one
hundred strong rode into the city and posted
s~entinels. Gen. Carvajal and others arrived
from Matamoras and persuaded the outlaws to
leave.
Fort Brown has been garrisoned by Mexi-
can troops from Matamoras, and the citizens
have formed a patrol. The outlaws were en-
eamped near the city, two hundred atrong.-
The Mexican General had visited the camp
and obtained a promise from them not to mo-
lest the town again. The citizens still expect
an attack, as the outlaws boosted that there
was more on the list to be killed. An express
had been sent to San Antonio for troops.
The Brownville Flag thanks the military
and civil authorities of Matamoras, and blames
the Government for leaving them defenceless.
The Sheriff and a possee came down to
Point Isabel with the steamer Arizona's mail.
The cause of the difficulty was the revenge
sought by Cartina for alleged injuries. The
citizens mostly fed to Matamoras.

SUICIDE OF A NEW YORK MERcHANT.-Mr.
Charles NJ. Leupp, the New York merchant
whose suicide has been briefly announced by
telegraph, was the subject of the most distres-
sing Authorizations. At times he fancied that
the house was about to tumble down upon bis
head. He also fancied that he was the object
of some mysterious conspiracy, and on one oc-
casion insisted that two policemen were hid in
his houee to watch his movements. Driven to
despair by these, and similar decisions, he final
ly shot himself, as has been before stated, on
Wednesday last. He was one of the largest
leather dealers in the city.

A MURDERER ARRESTED AFTER THIRTY
Foul YEAEs' CoNcEALMENr.-A man named
Geo. H. Drake, was indicted at the October
term of the Allegheny County, Nd, Circuit
court in the year 1926 for the murder of Ben
edict Mathey, and committed to Jail at that
time, from which he made his escape soon after
his Incarceration and was at liberty until a few
days ago, when thinking perhaps that an alb
sence of thirty-four years had obliterated all
recollection of the crime, he venturcd again to
his home, Cumberland, Md, and on Friday last
was again arrested and lodged in Jail. At the
time of his escape the Gov. Joseph Kent and
council, offered a reward of $500 for his arrest.
But three of the Grand Jury by whom he was
indicted are now living. All the lawyers then
practicing at the Allegheny Bar, and all the
then officers of the court have since died.

One of the best meetings of the late cam.

ros and T. c. JONES Esq. Mfr. Stanton's
speech was devoted mainly to an examination
Of the Yuatter Sovereignty humbug, and as
clear and forcihle argument it has not been ex,
celled by any addsess ever before delivered in
the Hail. It was the first appearance during
the campaign Of Mr.. Jones before a Delaware

pations of his friends. His speech was a high.
ly creditable effort, was attentively listened 70
and drew forth loud and repeated plaudits

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-Information has
been received here, that as soon as Col. Sum-
ner heard of the attack on the Santa Fe mail,
with its fatal results, he dispatched a company
of dragons to Pawnee Fork, to punish the Of
Tending Indians, Hopes are entertained that
this prompt action on the part of COL. Sum-

and the rescue of the passengers by the overdue
mail. 1t will probably be found necessary to
station troops at Pawnee Fork to escort the
mail thence to Cold Spring, and thus obviate

Kit Him Again.

The Ashland Union is not a Douglas paper
" by a jug full" Knapp talks to the Little
Giant as if the latter were no bigger than or
binary Democrats. OF Judge Douglas visit
to Ohio, the Union says !:
It is quite evident to every boy and girl Of
d" school age" in Ohio that the Judges labors
have nothing to do with the success of the
Democratic State ticket this fall, whatever the
State Central Committee may think or say
about the matter. Nobody is deceived, be-
cause Everybody well understands that the Ia
bors of the Judge are direct to the single point
of securing such delegates to the Charleston
Convention as will be subservient to his inter,
ests, and support his pretensions before that
body.
y \ r X
This is not, as before intimated the first visit
on the same errand, to Ohio by Judge Douglas
He has been in our State before. To do him
justice, it must be admitted that his quadren'
NAL tours through Ohio have been remarkably
p%unctual and regular. But to say the truth
we believe he is farther from the goal of his
ambition than overland it is a most righteous
and ~virtuous Democratic sentiment that such
is the fact. Where would have been Thomas
Jefferson, Andrew jackson and James Buchan-
an had they adopted such means to obtain the
Presidency? Instead of having achieved the
positions they have occupied and adorned, they
would have been much more likely to hold a
place in the history of their country with
Aaron Burr and other ambitious spirits of kin
dred nature. The people will tolerate in a
candidate for Constable or Supervisor of Roads
and Highways, this system of personal cleo
tioneering but they have been accustomed to
look for a different rule of conducts in Presiden-
tial aspirants. They may be inclined to TO
gyism on this point, but it can't be helped
They are there.
We will here say, in order that we may not
be misunderstood, that if Judge Douglas should
get back to the Democratic platform, and
should be nominated at Charleston, we shall
support him. We can do this more cordially
because we think he acN come back. We I'M
derstand by those who heard him, that in his
Woosser speech he abandoned the heresies Of
p~iratical, Constitution-defying and lawless
" squatter sovereignty" as contained ia his
Harper Magazine paper, and claimed that
Judge Black and the readers of that Magazine
had grossly misunderstood him! If the Judge
is coming on to the Constitutional ground, and
up to the platform Of the Democratic party
albeit We may not like some of his ways-we
are with him " to the death"-which will hap
pen at the regular period in 1861

DEATH Or SENATOR BR0DER-
-. ECKa

- &O&Se
The last California mail brought intelligence
Of the death of Hon. DAVID @. BRoDEK1cK, one
of the q. s. Senators from that State, who
was MORALLY wounded in a duel on the 18th
ult., and died on the 18th. Mr.. B. was a
selfmade man, had a large hold upon the af-
f~ections of the people, and his death produced
"a profound sensation in the State of his adop-
ton. The particulars of the duel will be
found in another column and we add the fol
lowing In relation to his early history furnish
ed by the Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.
The killing of Broderick created no little
sensation here, and he is generally regarded as
the victim of conspiracy. He was born here
In 1878, bis father being a stone-cutter, who
made considerable money On the Capitol work,
and helped to put up pillars in the chamber in
which the son afterwards sat as a Senator
When Broderick was quite young, his father
moved to New York, where he put his son to
learn. his own trade.
When about q, Dave, as he was called, be-
came engineer of a fire company, and in that
way became of value to the politicians, who
eagerly sought his influence. He gradually
rose in political life, until in 1886 he was the
Democratic candidate for Congress in the
Fifth District, but was beaten by Tallmadge,
Wing. He went to California, where his ca
reer and subsequent political vicissitudes are
fresh in your recollection. It is a melancholy
reflection that q Senator of the United States
should be killed in a duel by the Chief Justice
Of a Sovereign State and it cannot fail to
lower the character of our public men abroad
and at home, and to make some doubt of the
wisdom of institutions which assign the high
est place to men of violent and uncomfortable
passions.

Capt. John Brown.

Old Ossawatamie Brown is a disci-
pie of the filibuster school. He has
thought it just as right and proper to
invade Virginia as it was for the pro-
slavery party to invade Kansas, Mic
aragua, Mexico, or Cuba. His motives
have been the same. A great evil,
in his opinion, exists in Virginia ; it is
his manifest destiny to abate it :; and
following the examples that have been
set him, he has undertaken to abate il
with fire and sword. Mad as the act
was, and deplorable as the consequent
ces of it might have been, it proceeded
from the same atrocious principles
which dictate Kansas forays, Central
American tilibusterisms, and Cuban
invasions. We defy the champions
of those schemes to show the least
difference Of principle in the several
cases. We call upon them to allegc
a single reason in justification of their
measures, which Brown might not
with equal propriety allege in behalf
of his. If he is an incendiary, so are
they. ii his plot was diabolical, so
were their plots and the more afro
cious they make his conduct appear,
the more they expose the atrocity of
their own conduct. Brown, moreover,
mad the excuse Of his personal griev-
ances for his crimes he has been
stung into fierce and unreflectinc
rancor by his wrongs whereas the
abettors of Atchison and Walker pro.
jected their outrages and piracies in
cold blood, and with the most selfish
purposes. That Mr.. Buchanan will be
prompt in the suppression of the Viz
ginia disturbance there can be no
doubt, Notwithstanding his desire that
filibusters and slave pirates should go
unhung.

Common Schools.

\ st. Louis correspondent remarks
that among the bright stars of that
city are its common schools. In no
other city of the West, it is said, are
the public schools so thriving, indie
pendent, and we'll sustained as there.
The school fund of st. Louis is inn
mensc. Let other cities and towns
emulate her example. TO the com
mon schools of our country more than
any one thing else are we indebted for
our greatness and glory. The chill
dren who pass from the doors of these
humble institutions, are the leavcn
which saves the lump. Even some of
our Presidents have received almost
their only education from the common
schools. These schools are the nurse
rics of morals, promoters of knowl.
edge, incuIcaters of the useful, and
safeguards against the false and per.
nicious. Such seeds, planted in good
time, cannot fail to bring forth fruit
ali hundred fold.

The Newspaper Press.

The increase of our country in OK
tent and population, great and strik-
ing as it has been, is not greater nor
more striking than the increase of its
newspapers in number, ability, and
size. They have been the preachers
of the prairie, the tongue Of progress
making the world acquainted with the
resources Of the country, encouraging
the pioneer and helping drag up the
Government to the performance of its
duties, by informing it of the nccessi-
ties Of the people and the time. Thus
with the country the press has grown
and prospered; steadily has it progress
scd hand in hand with enterprise and
effort, the guardian and defender of
public rights, the leader in improve
ment, the handmade of trade, the con-
seryator of society. The press, in a
free country, is a fair dagucTeotype
Of the progress Of the nation itself.
