For the Union.
Wis. Osborn. ESQ.


Mr.. EDITOR About three weeks since ]
wrote a brief paragraph for your paper ami
madverting upon the effort of the Opposition
to elect their candidate by a resort to asystem
of h~umbaggery that would be disreputable in
a canvass for the election of a Constable in a
backwoods township. There certainly was
nothing in that paragraph assailing any one
personally, or that would warrant a personal
attack upon myself. Although my paragraph
was anonymous, I admit the authorship, and
hereby re~-afirm all 1 then stated. 1 have no
apology to make for anything therein contain
ed.
Although [ have retired from all connection
with journalism, 1 had supposed that I had a
right, under the Constitution, to utter my
views upon political parties and questions.
Mr.. OSBORN, however, contests this right
and in the Times of the 18th, pours upon me
a storm of personal vituperatiou, betraying a
feeling upon his part, which, Notwithstanding
his anteeedents, really excited my amazement
and sorrow.
An assault such as that I could not notice
but a friend, feeling differently, did respond to
IL N CQc CVLOTI VI ldSO 44lo ASNNi was
written and published when I was hundreds of
miles distant from home, and was seen
by me the first time on Thursday morning last.
OSBORN, no one will doubt, was quite as
well aware of the fact that I was not the wri-
ter of that article as I am myself. Yet in the
Times of the day following, he re-appears in
another article crowdedwith misstatements and
personalities of SO offensive a character that 1
cannot, without an utter abandonment of self;
respect, permit myself to notice them-and
offer this to my friends who have urged me to
reply to him, as my apology for declining to
enter the lists with one who employs such
weapons of warfare.
1 have only to add, that this unhappy gen
tleman can continue his personal attacks upon
me-charge me with seeking Offices 1 never
asked for, and which were never offered me
or fabricating any other charges that his anna
BILE disposition may suggest, without further
notice from me-. As a citizen, interested in
the welfare of my country, L shall, however,
continue to avail MYSELF of my lawful right to
protest against the dangerous principles and
practices of the Republican party, whenever 1
feel called upon so to do-and no personalities,
however coarse or ungentlemanly, can deter
me from the discharge of this duty. With
this explanation, 1 bid YIN. OSBORN, Esq,
until he can radically reform his manners and
tastes, a final adieu.

For we have proof as will be seen
That West & Wilson'S ssTHE Machine"

From off two spools, securely binding,
Its seems so strong it can't be ripped
If every fourth stitch shodld be clipped.
1t sews all cloth both thick and thin,
From the lightest silk to thick doe skin,
1t also will stitch, hem and gather,
And if you want it will sew leather.
1t also will make very nice embroider,
And 1t is very easy Kept in order,
For its construction is so true
That any one can learn to sew.
Its speed for stitch you'll wonder too,
But that does make it no less true,
That this Machine has power within it,
To take twelve hundred in a minute.
And last rot least, it makes all stare
To think a thing so very rare,
Is sold so cheap, there's some alarmed,
For fear the makers will be harmed

THE HERO OF SAN JAcISTo ON THE STUMP
HIS Denuneiation Of Yancsy and Az Dis
anionists.-A San Antonio (Texas) cor
respondent of New Orleans paper says of a
late speech of Sam Houston's, in the former
city: -.. i.....s, ast .s %. .
The idea of disunion he ridiculed as inn
practicable, rIiinous to the seeding States
unnecessary and unwarrantable, and said
that the chief thing to be done was union
of all for the defeat of Lincoln, which he con-
sidered imperative. Should Lincoln, how
ever, be elected, he (Sam Houston) would
support him until he committed some overt
act against the constitutional rights of the
South; and then, and not until then, he would
be for taking legal way of removing him
from Office. The entire drift Of this portion of
his speech was a call on the friends of all the
candidates to unite, or fuse, for the purpose
of defeating Lincoln, whose election, how
dissolution of the Union.
His own plan for a protectorate over Mex
leo, he declared to be the greatest stroke of
craftsmanship that had been brought for
ward for the consideration of the country
and declared his intention of taking that
country some day, not far distant-in
twenty years.
He was particularly severe on Wigfall and
Yancey, denouncing them as a "pair of con-
victed felons," who had never fought for
their country, and were couple of reckless
demagOgues, and made many cuts at Breck-
inridge and Lane over the shoulders of these
gentlemen.

HoRRIBLE Acc1pENT AT THE PARIs HIpp,

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT AT THE PARIS HIPpo-
DRoME-T Three Performers Rikled-A Paris
correspondent, writing on the 4th inst, in
speaking of the Hippodrome, says Eyes
terday, when performing what is termed 'the
arian trip, in which the actors form sort
of pyramidal ascension 100 feet above the
level of the ground, the three performers, a
Md'lle. Louise and NM. Hypolite and Fran
co.'s, were by the breaking of one of the
ropes, hurled TO the ground, and now lay, if
notactually dead, without hopes of recovery
They were observed to turn over as they
came down, and fall with fearful heayiness
The performance was instantly brought to
q close. Medical aid found them still breath
ing, but apparently beyond all hope of life.
An agonizing shrek broke from the au-
dience at the appalling accident, and many
tainted. The manner of the performance Is
in this wise: two men take their stations on
two ropes; while thus poised on the tight
ropes, the girl stands above them, partly
resting ON the shoulder of one while balanc-
ing her foot on the balance-pole of the other.
In this manner the three ascend till they
reach the climax, the altitude of 100 feet
above the level, and it was just there that
one of the ropes snapped, and all three were
violently precipitated to the earth.

An AdrOit SwindIer In New OrIeans-By
False Pretenses he Obtains Some S2,5OO

An AdrOit Swindier In New Orleaus-By
False Pretenses he Obtains Some S2,5OO
of Prominent Merchant. .sri r
Joaquin Perez, alias Manuel de Andrade,
alias Jose Romeira Borbon, was recently ar
rested in New Orleans for swindling a mer-
chant out of nearly $4,000, and, after exam
ination, committed to prison in default of
$500 bail. The Picayune gives these par
ticulars of his mode of procedure: ..
He represented that his father was Anto-
nio iAndrade, of Lisbon and York. His
fathers clerk, he said, was coming hither bY
the CahdVba, and had letters Of credit for
100000 or $500, ,00G he, the young man, had
come by land on account of sea-sickness.
He ingratiated himself so much with Mr..
Smythe, prominent merchant, that the
latter gave him a check on the Merchants
Bank for 81, 440, to pay certain debts he had
contracted on his way from Lisbon. Con-
sidering his condition as a stranger in the
CITY, Mr. s. sent a clerk with him. He went
down to the Orleans Hotel, on Chartres-
street, there he pretended to settle bill at
the office, then went down with the clerk as
far as the corner of St. Peter and Chartres,
went into coffee-house, and while the clerk
was waiting for him, gave him the slip.
He was caught on the Carrollton cars, on
his way to meet the jackson train, having
taken his passage for the North. He had
shaved his whiskers and otherwise disguised
himself. He wrote letter to his supposed
father Andrade, while in Mr.. Smythe's office,
which was found in his pocket when he was
arrested. He attempted to tear it, but only
succeeded in partially doing so.
