Tic Confession OF Rev. +. n. Harden,
In confirmation Of the report that Nj. Harden
had Icads confession, the Trenton True
.dmtriodn Of the e5th inasant gires the follow
ing
"We received Intelligence on Saturday ere-
ming, not only coufiru1atory Of the; e;chargez made
against Harden during the triat, but revealing
N amount Of guilt beg oud these circumstances,
almost incredible"
Our informant states that Harden is eyen low
writing his confession, and that he has commn-
nieated certain portions Of it to the jai!or and
one or TWO others.
"The administering Of the poison to his wife
commenced on her return to Ksmsey's, md was

Lincoln and IlamlIn in Delaware.
From long report in the Delaware R<pu5li-
ean, published at Wilmington, We gather that
the cause Of Lincoln and uanlin is llourishing
brarely in that gallant little State Asconfirm.
atory Of tbis, we may take the following edito-
rial paragraph from that paper:
The Lincoln and Hamlin movement is as
suming much larger proportions il the lower
couptes of this State than We had auY idea Of.
In Sussex county men Of standing and il 11ueuce
gre giying in their adhesion on the ground that
the principles are right, and it is not proper nor
hoccst to" smugg|e tho truth" The real oppo-
nents of locofoco4m also wish to make their
votes effective in the contest, and they are fully
satisfied that Lincoln will be elected President,
mud it is folly 10 make my factious opposition
TO him, or to give half vote to the Locotocos
by throwing it away OIL o third candidate. A
few men, huwever, seem determined to stand
a1oot, and retard this movement for the right,
but some will fall in, and others WILL ia less than
twclyemonth, mourn over their course, and
yainly wish that their acts could be blottad
from the record.
The friends Of Lincoln and Hamlin held q
State Convention at Milford, on Tuesday last,
which was fully Intended, and passed OF very
satisfactorily to all concerned. Resolutions
were adopted in favor Of protection to American
industry, free homesteads, free territories, aud
uamtiu and Lincoln. A distinct electoral ticket
was framed, composed Of John Il. Latimer
james Green, and George Il. Fisher.

the delegates who were parties to that bargain
