A COMPETITOR OF Mons. BLoNDGN. We are
enjoying the recklessness of a tight-rope
walker, which is almost as comforting as the
feats of the original performer. Our hero's
name is John Denier, and his place of display
is the celebrated watering peninsula of Ma
hant. On his first demonstration, the rome,
which was about an inch and three quarters
in diameter was stretched across Canoe Cove
to Castle Rock, and firmly secured with guys
on shore.
AT - o'clock in the afternoon, the impa-
tience of the crowd was appeased by the ap
pearance of Mr., Denier, dressed in tights, and
ready for the start. lie at once sauted the
spectators and started upon his perious jour
ney He proceeded with great caution and
yet with confidence and calmness, and reched
Castle Rock in about five minutes. His safe
arrival at the end of the journey was greeted
with great applause. The rope which was
about 1850 feet long, was elevated about 100
feet from the water, and lay most Of the way
over rocks, SO that any accident would prob
ably have resulted fatally to the adventurer
The crowd, comprising some 1000 people
was very orderly throughout the perform
ance, and the exhibition gave great satisfac-
tion to all who witnessed it. lie has since,
once or twice, repeated the show.-N Y

He Is THE LEADER OF Tue DIsUNIoyGsrs.-
Another paper in the South (the Ceres, pub.
lished in the parish of Terrebonne, Louisi-
nna,) hoists the Breckinridge and Lane flag.
and comes out in an article favoring the dis
solution Of the Union. S C. Elan, prom.
inent politician in the South, declares that he
supports the Breckinridge party, because it
Is the disnnion party. In his letter he says:
And the controlling reason with me
Breckinridge's party position points to a rem
edy even in case of Lincon's eection-not
so fully and clearly as should like-outright
for dissolution if Lincoln is elected-but
the finger on the board oints that way.
The party is so committed to resistance to
Inauguration that there is no escape from it
except through most Infamous back down.
IT Breckinrid5e and his party do not mean
10 abandon a Government which distinctly
aoandons them and provide a Government
mat will give protection for allegiance, they
might as well acknowledge at once that their
whole movement was gotten up and set on
foot in order that the South might be turned
over to the tender mercy of Abolitionists as
quickly as possible. breckenridge could not
beat Lincoln if Douglas was ont of the way
his party know it. The belief that the
party will follow out its principles to their
logical consequences, draws me into its sup
port.

here are proud of such candidates proud of
them because they are not raked from the
filthy pool of politics to do the bidding of
schcming politcians,-proud of them because
they are not pledged to him whom Broderick k
said was dripping with corruption, we
are proud of them because natures stamp of
intelligence, honesty and honor mark their
brows and marks them men in every sense of
the word. In DeLong, candidate for the
Senate, we recognize a man true to a friend
and true to his party. In him we see a cham.
pion whose sincerity of purpose in the ad-
vococy OF Democracy is only equaled by his
honesty OF heart A man amongst the first
to protest against the acts of Buchanans foul
administration, and an honest advocate of the
great principles of Popular Sovereignty
With those principles for our political faith
and such men for leaders, if we cannot carry
YuGa in November next, let us bag our heads
md swear eternal friendship to the parties
who only await the opportunity to split the
Union into an indefinite number of pieces.
But we will carry this county, not however.

force that the Brecknridgers will hang their

trotted out their strongest man, N. Z. White
