WHO'S TO BE CHEATED .

Democrats, remember that Foster, in
case of his election, will deceive either the
Douglas or the Breckenridge men.
Bates, if elected, will DECEIVE one or the
other in voting for e. S. Senator.
MNear, Waream, and Cunningham, will
deceive one side or the other after the Oc-
tober election By coming out either for
Douglas or Breckinridge-probablyth the lat
Ter.
Can you vote for men who don't know.
or pretend not to know, who they are in
favor Of for President.

Another Martyr to Slavery.

A few weeks ago Rev. Mr.. Bewley, a
Methodist clergyman WAS HUNG by a
democratic pro-slavery mob in Texas, becau Sc
he had said that he did not think slavery
was in accordance with the teachings of the
Christian religion The Methodists through
out the country are deeply stirred by this
horrible occurrence. Mr.. Bewley was we'll
known as peaceful and devoted evangelist.
His views of slavery were of the mildest char.
acter, and he would be deemed the last man
to thrust his views ofersively-milda and con-
servative though they were-upon any COM
munity. On his removal to Texas a few
months since, he carried testimonials of his
humility and devotion to his work. But he
was Methodist! That. in Texas, is deemed
the equivalent of abolitionism and the devo-
ted minister of Christ, guilty of no crime,
and on the merest suspicion that he cherished
offensive opinions, was hung up like mur-
derer! Is it not the plain duty of every
christian and philanthropist to act with that
party which is pledged to con6ne SO awful an
institution to its present limits?

My dear sir.-I hasten to reply to your
note. The truth is that Pickard hissed his
dog Ia large animal) on some bows in the
street. Ny boy, five years old, was going in,
to a store at the time the dog seized him by
the leg, and pulled him down Eve steps to the
pavement and tore the entire mouthful out of
the calf of his leg. The boy was confined to the
house for eight weeks. The Doctor thought
he would be cripple for life, but fortunately
he is not. After the wound was dressed and
the blood stopped, at the request of my neigh
bors, / went out to kill or have the dog killed.
Pickard showed me the dog, and told
me to kill him. l attempted and failed

the language in the paper, or any words
that could be construed into such an express

were seeking its qualification, not only if it
cost the defeat of the Democratic party, but
the disruption of the Union itself. The
other. disunionists at heart, and honestly
believing the prosperity of the Southern
people would be promoted by erecting the
slave States of the Union into q separate
confederacy, would be entitled to more re.
spect, if they would boldly avow their object
and manfully march towards it without re-
sorting to deception and indirection to &C
complish it. The first are aided by all the
power and influence which commanding
position and the bestowal of federal pat
ronage, amounting in four years to over
three hundred millions of dollars, give to
the present Administration.
At the Convention were Senators known
to enjoy the entire confidence of the Presi-
dent, and to reflect his wishes, who have
nominated the incumbents of all the Federal
Offices in six or eight of the sovereign States
of the Union, employing all the influence
which high position, official favor, and i'm
mense wealth gave them command OF, to
defeat the candidate have referred to-.
Government officials were there in large
numbers from all quarters of the Union,
devoting themselves to the same object, who
were neglecting their official duties at the
command of their masters, some OF them
with the wages of their treachery in their
pockets in the form of appointments to
lucrative Offices, bestowed upon them since
their election as representatives by those
whom they betrayed.
The capital in trade of the second class
was the passions, the prejudices, the sensi>
tiveness to wrong and insult of generous
and impulsive people, "whose southern
hearts were to be sufficiently fired to precipi-
tate the cotton states of the Union into
revolution"
No sensible man believes that the vindic-
tiveness with which Mr.. Douglas is pursued
is provoked by any want of fidelity on his
part to the Democratic party, the rights of
the South, the Union or the Constitution
If he could have changed his principles with
the same facilities that many of his revilers
have done, much of the vituperation with
which he has been assaled would have been
spared him. 1t has certainly not been from
personal considerations that l have favored
the nomination of Mr.. Douglas, but solely
because his ideas Of governmental policy will
better conserve the interests of the southern
people than those of any other candidate;
because believe he can be elected, and his
election will destroy the Abolition Organiza-
ton at the North, build up controlling
conservative party in its place, utterly ex-
tinguish the no less mischievous disunion
party at the South, and give peace and quiet
to the whole country. Mr.. Douglas is the
original friend Of the acquisition of Cuba,
opposed to specific and positive duties, in
favor of tariff for revenue, in favor of, and,
if elected, with the will and courage to
assert and maintain all the constitutional
rights of every citizen, entitled to the pro-
lection of our Government, in every State
and Territory of the Union.

Special Dispatch to the N. Y. Tribune.
WASHINGTON, May 81, 1860.
MR.. ADAMS SPEECH.
Charles Francis Adams made his debut
in the House to-day, and though the at
tendance was thin when he opened, no an.
nouncement of his purpose having been
made, the benches of both sides were filled
in few minutes, and the galleries exhibited
a corresponding interest. His speech was
a philosophical, luminous and most attrac-
tive review of the slavery question, or
rather the problem of the representation
which the peculiar institution had Sc
cured in the popular branch of Congress,
the influence it commanded 10 the Cabinet,
in the Supreme Court and every other de-
partmert of the Government.
WASHINGTON, June l.-Gen. Foster, the
Democratic candidate for Governor of Penn
sylvania, James Magee, Director of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, and other citizens of
that State, are here on business connected
with the passage of the Tariff bill by the
Senate. The number will be increased next
week by the arrival of Messrs. Robbins,
Cadwallader, Phillips, Roberts, VIM. G.
Patterson and other prominent Democrats
of Pennsylvania, on the same business.
The Senate Committee on Printing will
report in favor of the House bill for the
establishment of a Government Printing
Office, and the prospect is that it will pass
the Senate. This means OF executing the
public printing has been repeatedly before
Congress since 1919.
Edward Bates, of Mo-, is about to pub
lish letter addressed to o. II. Browning,
of Quincy, ILL.,, advising his friends to do
their utmos! to secure the election of Lin
coin and Hamlin, and expressing the opin-
ion that they should not waste their votes
upon Bell and Everett ticket.
Mr.. Appleton was to-day confirmed as
minister to Russia, and w. H. Prescott as
Assistant Secretary of State.
WASHINGTON, June At is officially
stated that the government will save million
dollars by the purchase made of coal privi-
leges in Chiraqua, from Ambrose A. Thomp.
son. The contract was made by the navy
department, and only needs the confirms
tion of Congress.
There has been no determination as to the
successor of Mr.. Daniels on the bench of
the Supreme Court.
The names that have been mentioned in
this connection are the result of mere specu-
lation.
1t is probable that the japanese will not
leave before Thursday, and that their visit
to Buffalo will be omitted from the pro-
gramme.

FOREIGN NEWS.
NEW York, Nav 30.

NEW YORK, May 80.
The Arabia arrived at 7 o'clock this
evening. Her news is mainly anticipated
via Halifax, but the details in regard to the
Italian affairs, are interesting. The follow
ing are among Garibaldis proclamations:
The first is to the Neopolitan army,
Foreign insolence reigns over Italian ground
IN consequence of Italian dscord, but on the
DAY that the South and MOI tn mites with Sici.
y, you shall join the Italians of the North. On
that day our nation, of which you are the
nnest part, shall resume its place as in former
times among the nations of Europe. l am an
ola soldler OF Italy, and aspire to be drawn up
side by SIDE with those soldiers of Vartz and
San Martino' IN ord. order jointly to fight against
the enemies of Sicily.
Signed. G. GARIBALDI.
Another proclamation to the inhabitants
of Naples
1t is time for you to initiate the magnanimous
example of Sicily by rising against the most
nefarious of tyrannies. Death to the perjured
and bloodthirsty race that has so long tortured
and trampled on US. Let the free government
succeed which eleven millions of Italians VOW
to sustain, and substitute for the foul Bourbonic
flag the glorious tricolor, the happy symbol of
national independence, without which true and
durable liberty is impossible. Your brethren
of the North desire nothing more than to see
you join the Italian family. Signed,
G. GARIBALDI,
G. RICARDO,
BARON G. TiCCO.
One to the Sicilians is as follows:
Sicilians, have brought you body of brave
men, who have fastened to respond to the
hearty cry of Sicily. We, the remains of the
battles of Lombardy, are with you. All we
ask is the freedom of our land. The work will
be easy and short. To arms: then. He who
does not snatch up weapon is coward, or
traitor to his country. Want of arms is no ex.
cuse. We shall get muskets, but at present
any weapon will do in the hands of a brave
man. The municipalities shall provide for the
women, children and old men deprived of their
support. To arms, all of you. Sicily shall
once more teach the world how a country can
be freed from its expressions by the powerful
will of united people. Signed,
ST.. PETERsBURGH, May 8.

would not probably offer opposition to an

The Japanese are expected to remain in
the country some ninety days, and to come
as far west as Chicago during that time.
Their reception in this country considered
by itself has been simply ridiculous. But
in aiding, as it probably will, to throw open
that country to the operations and ultimate
blessings of unrestricted commerce, this
ridiculous reception may ultimately yield
very beneficial fruits. .a+ ,.'.A

The elopement and marriage of Miss
QUEEN A. Rose, of Alabama, at Philadel-
phia, with Mr.. BoGARr, Southern medical
student, was recently chronicled in the pa

parted for the South, buoyant with happiness.

from Mr.. BoaARr announcing the sudden
death of his young wife. She had been mar
