The circumstances of the caseof poisoning
in Montpelier, several weeks since, alluded
to by US at the time, have been moro fully
related to US, and are sufficiently remarkable
to justify fuller mention. A little child oil
Hon. c. W. Willard, while drinking his
milk, was seized with violent vomiting. The
milk was examined and found to contain
! corrosive sublimate enough to kill dozen
men. The poison had evidently been put
into the milk after it had been poured into
the ehild's cup. and the sudden violent reac-
ton of the child's stomach was all that saved
its liie The wonder was, rho could have
done it-fur the servants, girl and an Irish
boy named John Roakes, were considered
trusty, and we're both exceedingly fond of the
child-and rhy could any mortal wish i'll to
an attractive and innncent little child? The
parents were te1ror-stricken fOr fear OF a
repetition Of the attempt; and labored and
pondered TO find some clue to the mystery,
bat in vain, and it bid fair to remain IN
solved, when the child's nurse, several days
after, becameso strongly impressed, she knew
not why, with the belief that the boy Roakes
had something 10 do with ii, that she finally
charged him directly with it. He Numbered
faltered, and ended in owning the deed. On
fuller questioning, by Mr.. Willard, he con-
fessed that he had done it not from any i'll
will 10 slr- and Mrs W, who had always
treated him kindly, or to the baby; but
simply from hatred to the servant girl, with
whom he had come trivial quarrel and on
whom b. hoped the suspicion of committing
the crime would fall. lie owned also to
haying taken and destroyed by burning them
some valuable articles Of clothing, which had
disappeared from time 20 time, expecting
that the girl would be charged with the
theft, After ali ,i,is, Mir. Willard. with as it
strikes IS very unnecessary leniency, gave
the reproblte ar opportunity to escape, which
he did net avail himself Of The Court was
in ssssi5n he WAS srraigned, plead guilty
end was sentenced to eight years imprison-
ment, Judge Poland very properly adding to
the sentence lecture upon the inconceivable
heartlessness and depraviiy, which could in

Judge Orr, while stumping Missouri is
candidate for Governor, ridiculed the idea Of
danger to the Union from the success of the
Republicans, and told the following story to
show the true character Of such threats
The people are beginning TO know them
as well as the lion knew the donkey, with
whom he was travelling. The pair becomir :,
hungry, the donke; PROPOSED that they
should turn aside INTO a nfeld They did
so, and the donkey having feasted TO his con-
tent, was preparing to leave but the lion
said, w hat am to do cannot eat com.
True, SAID the donkey but if you viii
lie in the bush, here, ! viii 90 into the
thicket yonder, aud frighten the deer with a
bray, SO that you can catch one when they
attempt to escape. The lion agreed, and
the iackass going into the thicket, brayed
so terribly, that all the deer in it came run
ning out. The lion seized one and made a
meal Of the prey. On coming back, the
donkey, with much clnceit, asked, 'Didn t
| scare them p yes, replied the hon, and
you would have scared me, too, if hadn't
known who you were just SO We might
be frightened with the prediction Of danger
to our own institutions by the democrats, if
we did not know exactly what value to set
upon them.

telllgent Protestant element Of the father

Of the Emerald Isle. In the influences

difference between slavery, Popery, and ne
gro driving Democracy, that we are not at

in their diabolical work Of inhumanity and
desolation." ...
Here is scrap of the modern Gospel Of
treason and murder worthy of the religion
which has elevated horse thief into the OBJ
ject of its >eneration. John Brown acted
in the same spirit in which Helper writes,
and Cheever and Beecher preach. We are
not surprised at any atrocity from such men.

TIE UNION PARTY PROGRAMME

AAAE ONAON FANIY PKOGRAMME'
The programme Of the "Union Party" to
inaugurate which was the object Of the late
meeting at the Academy Of Music, does not
meet with hearty response from the Re-
publicans of the Eastern States. The Mas.
sachusetts papers pitch into it as a paltry
and unjust scheme, intended to cheat the
republicans of their President. The scheme
is intended to work as follows:
The Republicans have fifteen State dele.
cations in the House Of Representatives, and
the Democrats fourteen !; The Americans
one, (Tennessee,) while three delegations
are divided-those of Kentucky. North Car.
DINA and Maryland. Now, they say, if. an
election of President by the people can be
frustrated and the "Union'' can get one
State, so rs to carry him into the House,
he will be elected.
The result is figured out in this way
The divided States and Tennessee will
neither vote for the Republican nor the Dem
ocratlc candidate but the Republican
States being aware that in case of no choice
by the House, the Senate will choose Dem.
ocratlc candidate for Vice. President, who
will thus become by the Constition acting
President, will make the best of their al.
tentative. and give their decisive support
to the "union' man, and put him perhaps
the choice Of Delaware alone,) into the
Presidential chair for four years! A well
devised scheme, but one that will not an.
swer as the people will probably decide the
question by their votes, without the assist.
ance Of their Congressional delegates, -Rtl.

THE LATE BATTLE IN MEXICO.

New YoRK, Jan. ga gentlema
from Acapulco informs us that only the
artillery of the liberal army numbering
about 1000 troops, were engaged in the bat.
tie Of tho 21st. The main body of the
troops under Rocha, failed to come up, ow.
ing, as we believe, to treachery. The artil.
lcry which was under COL Halle, an Amer.
lean from San Francisco, was cut to pieces
owing to the fact that Miramon's artillery
was much heavier and longer of range than
that Of the liberals.
Col. Hole escaped to Mazatlan, where, at
last accounts he had purchased and was fit
ting out two small vessels with which he
intends to proceed to capture the two YES
sells seized in that port by Miramon.
When Miramon left the Capitol, he had
5000 troops in command, 1000 Of which
under Marquese stopped at Guadelaiara, to
cover Miramou's retreat should he have been
creed to make one. Marquee, it will be

CONGRESSIONAL.

The National House Of Representatives
after most protracted and bitter contest
has at length been organized by the electio,
of Gov. Pennington, Of New Jersey, a.
Speaker, John W. Forney, of Pennsylvania
as Clerk, and II. A. Hoffman, Of Maryland
as Sergeant at Arms. Fo: our part, we an
nounce this result with pleasure and gratifi
cation, and regard the selection Of officers a.
a Waterloo defeat to the disorganizing fac
tons on both sides.
The Republicans have about as littel &c
glory over, as could we'll be imagined, and
to Southern Democrats, and the President
taking the election of Clerk into account
the result must promote nearly every othe,
emotion except an amisble one. Gov. Pen.
ninston is conservative national man, and
no more the type Of the Helperite part,
than Daniel Webster would be, if living
Their man Sherman, is dead and buried
and upon his tombstone can be inscribed
" Killed At the irrepressible conflict growing
out of the Harper's Ferry instruction.
" Slowly and sadly they laid him down,
and took perforce man who they gladl,
would have "speved out Of their mouths >
Then comes the Clerk, John W. Fornev
Here is Republican victory that beats Rar
ey's triumphs in the horse line, most deci
dedly. John w. Forney's election is MOI
an Administration triumph, but most GER
tainly it Is equally not a Republican tri
|umph. Extremes are here rebuked.
Mr.. Hoffman, Sergeant.at-Arms is, j
possible, still less matter to sing songs
about. 1t will be particularly gratifying t,
the foreigners hereabouts, to know that Mr.
Hoffman is Maryland "Know Nothing. ,
Know Nothingism in Maryland means some
thing. 1t is there where they shoot ant
stab and murder foreigners, and drive then
from the polls, and insult them grossly, be
cause they happen to be bonn in foreig,
country: This Maryland Know Nothing il
elected Sergeant-at-Arms by Republicans.
Would it not be first rate joke to fire tn,
F." Young Republican about seventeen hun
dred times in honor of this victory?
