Because of the voices that echoed

A Very Oblivious Gentleman--Pay-
ing q Democratic Editor out Of tho
Public Treasury,
Mr. CoyOdc' s Inycstiga Committee
is developing some curious facts. tt o
latest is the total inability Of Mr.. Bu-
chonan's editor Of the Philadelphia
Pennsylyanian, AMI a connection Of
j. B. s by,morroge, to remember certain
matters connected with his "daily walk
and conversations For instancc,--hc
testified that he was holding a clerkship
in the Philadelphia Custom House at
an annual salary of $1,000; but was en-
tirely unable to say whether he occu-
pied an Office IN the Custom House build
ing-how much labor he performed as
clerk, or whether he performed any
and could not not tell why his name was
not entered on the daily register like
other clerks, or how it came TO be omit
ted from the blue book. Strange to soy,
he did remember that he was now hold
ing the olerkship and drawing the salary
Of $1,000. The testimony established
the fact that $1,000 Of the public money
is paid to Buchanans relative for the
purpose of sustaining a party organ, and
/ that no services are required or expected
/ from him other than those which he
renders as party editor. Is it at all
strange that Mr. Buchanan should
finch at the investigation, and should
scold the House for presumiug to take
measures for disclosing the frauds and
briberies which have disgraced his adj
ministration?- Xenia Torch-Light,

A correspondent of the Augusta ConstiiattoHdf'sf
writes the following account of Hon. A. H. Stephens
first speech of the campaign, Crawfordsye Tsaier'
county, on the 27th inst.
The court adjourned as it was expected that Judge
Linton Stephens would address the people on the potl-
cal issues OF the day. But the Judge was indisposed
the Hon. A. H. Stephens supplied bis place, aud for more
than hour enehaned the audience by his matchess
eoquence in defence of the blessings now enjoy I'M
der the bes; government ON earth-and showing the
evils which he seriously apprehended from sectionasm
and the dsorganzng tendency Of the seceders at Charles
ton.
lie said that Judge Douglas not his first choice,
vet he believed that Douglas had shown more moral
courage in defending his convictions Of right against
prejudice and fanatcism at home, than any statesman
now living North or South, and the war now waged
against him by office holders and seekers FROM envy and
malice reminded him Of wolves bounding to death a
ordly Buffalo; and knowing that Stephen A. Douglas has
stood side by side and voted with the South in her periS
and trials he believed him true honorable, and the most
powerful friend the South ever had.
He would not stand by silently and see him denounced,
without attempting TO defend him. He would feel as gut
ty as the of old who held the Martyrs clothes while
the mob stoned him to death aud for one, though he

Lincoln and save the Union. But If sectouasm should

aud all should go down togetheryet be would raise aolt
with an his strength the banner on which is aserbed
''non-intervenou and firm adherence to our plghted
faith" He closed with most eloquent appeal to the con-
servatve feelings Of bis audience TO stand by the Union
and the Constitution of our fathers.
From the best information that could get, there are
not ten Breckenridge in the county and it is stated
that tue vote is very nearly equally divided between Bell
aud Douglas.

Duncan X. MeRae Of North Carolina addressed the
Douglas Association in this city, at the African Church

Pryor. at Metropolitan Hall the Saturday evening pre-

have heard in behalf Of either party during the canvass
As reply to Mr. PryOrs speech, it was really triumph
ant. Ia a word it was crushing effort which left Mr.
Pryor high aud dry the beach, and gave, we are sure
the most complete satisfaction to the friends of Judge
Douglas in Richmond. Wherever Mr.. McRae speaks he
will be listened to with undivided attention. and his ad
dresses will necessarily produce decided effect.
