An Interesting Anniversary.

Sunday, October 2lst, was ain anni..
versary day worthy Of a notice, especially
at this interesting period Of our political
history. Twenty five years ago. Sunday,
William Lloyd Garrison was mobbed in
this city, because of his anli.slavery senti-
merrs; on the same day Gtrrit Smith
and Beriah Green. st Utica, N. Y, and
Samuel J. May, at Montpelier, VT, were
also made the subjects Of mob violence
Mr.. Garrison, it will be remembered, was
dragged about the streets, and threatened
with death: Messrs. Smith, Green and
May received not much milder treatment,
the two former gentlemen being driven
out OF Utica. and compelled TO fly to Peter.
boro'. 1t was very singular coincidence
that these four young men, at that time
| the pioneers OF the anli.slavery enterprise,
should all have met, on the same day,
with mob violence, at tie hands Of Amer.
ican ciiizcns, simply for exercising the
| right Of free speech. That day made a
black record on the page OF American
history, one Of which all honest and hon.
or,ble men are now ashamed, and would
gladly have cffaccd But how striking
and instructive the contrast oil that day
with the present A quarter Of a cen
tury has rolled sway--all these men, who
went out with theli lives in their hands
to defend the opinions on their tongues,
are yet living and. however we may dis
agree with them in their present polite n
sentiments, we must accord to them the
high honor Of answering, perseverinu
adherence TO the advocacy of human
liberty.
Aud what a wonderful progress are
they able to note To-day. majority o
the American people are elevaling 10 the
Cniei Magistracy of th, Republic the mar

since the Republicans Of Washington eel
ebrated, by a triumphal procession, til,

thousands listened respectfully and ap

men, well known anti slavery men. on

man could safely speak against slavery

where Garrison was mobhei. Verify, Ih
world does move. Let uF thank Go,
that il has moved in the right direction

the last quarter of a century. The free

HSeryed EN- f ight."

This was the unanimous verdict OF the
city yesterday morning, which has hardly
yet ceased laughing at the clever retort Of
Gov. Chase, upon those persons whose
bad manners permitted them to carry
around, in the great procession night be-
fore last. the caricalure of huge negro,
and underneath :he inscription. "The sue
cessor o! Abrhama Lincoln in l664."-
Gov. Chase was detained in his carriage
by the PROCESSION, and saw this offensive
placard "lt seems" said he. in opening
his remarks, "that our friends or the
other side have already nominated their
candidate. They concede our success
and care for nothing but the succession
and they have in advance nominated ar
African gentleman FOR the succession"
The great Wide Awake procession ant
the fusion demonstration which immcdi
ate,y succeeded it, had none of the often
sive carica.ures which abounded in ib,
ranks Of the lusionists night before last
and if Gov. Chase will stay in the ci.y .il
the campaign is over, it is likely that tn
enthusiastic Democracy will restrain tn
brushes OF its daubers.-N Y. World,

A Southern Rebuke to the secessionists

Tho Frankfort Comm OHrsdM. an old
organ of the Clay Wings of Kentucky. admits
tho right of State to secode from tho
Union, and says:
"If the people Of South Carolina, Ala
bama, or Georgia. desire TO sece!e from
the Union, in the name of the Constitution
let them do so. Let them form Re,
public, an Empire, or anything else they
may fancy. Let them iuclose themselves
within Chinese wall if they want to, and
horo 10, one Who win oout.iLut, bio n,;,o
toward furnishing the necessary rocks
Let them do what they please. Let them
do it as they please, and when they please,
their separation shall be final. Their ab.
sence would be an incalculable and in
valuable relief to the balance Of the people
OF these United States. We should escape
large quantities Of quadrennial gas and
noise, and confusion and stuff.
At every Presidential election, these
| political fiibusters remind us Of the poor
/ Frenohman who locked himself in a room
with rich ditto, aud threatened 10 blow
his own brains out and charge the ricl
one with the murder, unless the latter
gave him then and there five hundred
dollars. Every four years these Southern

people if they don't DO so and so, tha

DOUGLAs AND BRoDERIcK The San

YasS Of 1853, in California, says:
During that canvass Broderick well un.
derstood Douglas. He expected neither
aid nor comfort from him, Though he
did not denounce him for his treachery 10
him in public, yet in private he denounced
him in terms such as only he could use.
He called him treacherous, ,vaccilaring and
weak. lie told how near the weak kneed

that If he betrayed them he would De.

brand Of disgrace upon him. cay" said
he, to use his own words, chad he done
it, would have made him crawl under

from disgrace. He voted against the
English swindle, ,and by that means saved
himself at home.

II the Legislative Department Of The
General Government has no power over

or Territories, will some Squalter Sow

FrARruL RAILROAD DIsAsrER.- A SO

FEARFUL RAILROAD DIsAsTER.- A Sc.
rious disaster occurred to The Fall River
train, whilst on its way to Boston, on the
26 h inst. A rail had got displaced at a
culvert throwing the cars off the track,
and turning one over on its side. The
capsized car was drawn in this way nearly
a quarter of mile, before it could be
stopped. As the accitent happened be-
fore dayligh, in The morning, tie dark
ness added to the terroro OF the passen-
gers, Of whom there were thirty in the
capsized car. Fortunately no ore was
killed. A Mrs. Drinkwatcr, OF Portland
had her arm torn off at the elbow. 1t
was picked up some fifteen rods from the
SPOT where the train stopped. An infant
was iammed in the window so ,hsl por'
lions OF the car had TO be cut away before
it could be ex ricated. One man. whilst
the car was being dragged along at
fearful rate, smashed a window on the
upper side, climbed out, and escaped
without material injury.
