POLITICAL.

The New York correspondent Of TIE Bost0"
Journal says, that the Breckinridgs men IN this CITY
would rather see Lincoln elected than Douglas.
The Constitution says that every candid man
who now surveys the political field and calculates inc
chances of the rival candidates before the people
for the highest offices 10 their gift, must come 10 inc
conclusion that the struggle ia between Bfeckinridge
and Lane on the one side and Lincoln and Hamlln on
the other side.
--The Augusta Ca Chronicle and Sentinel says
that to say the least there great danger oil the
election OF Lincoln. To prevent 1t beyond doa0f'
there must be coalition of his opponents; and we
think the most feasible plan b for the Opposition to let
everything else CO. and devote their whole energies to
abe State Of Eew-Yok Her thity-f votes, if they
can be taken away from Lincoln will defeat his revo-
lutionary party, even though he gets every other
Northern vote, and California he cannot get. We
have faith 10 believe that a union Of the Bell and
Douglas men In New-York on one ticket would carry
three hundred thousand votes and Lincoln WILL Prob
ably mot get exceeding two hundred and eighty -hye
thousand. But TO prevent all un certainty, hope
the Bell, BreckinIidge and Douglas men will all
unite on common ticket, and let toe vote be cast,
Douglas, 20 Bell 10; and Breckenridge 81 or IN TACT
in proportion to the popular vote cast FOR each ny
such an arrangement Lincoln be defe0ted ana Dy
no other that we know Of"

liable Of being buried in q ruin from which bis freod

Hanging Of 4 Rev. Abolition,st

We are in receipt of letter from
our friend, Otis g. Welch, Esq. of Den.
ton giving some of the particulars rel.
tive to the termination of Mr. Bulev's
career. He was the man to whom the
Bailey letter was addressed. He was
arrested near .Cassvi1le, Bear county
Mo. by the Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Vigilance Committee, and sent back
on the overland stage to Sherman, and
from thence taken to Fort Worth, where
he was hung on the same pecan tree on
which Crawford met his deserts. He
expected to be rescued by his clan, but
no attempt was made. On being
shown the Bailey letter he confessed
that he was the man who lost it, and
that it was lost while getting some oats
from a stack near where It was found.
He refused to make any further disclos-
ures, saying that he knew they were
determined to hang him anyway

A New STYLE or SK1HTs.-As Paris
gives the fashions to every place boast
ing ofhigh civilization, it is fair to pre-
sumo that the days Of crinoline are num-
bered. A new style Of skirt is meeting
with great favor there, as it supports
the dress without whalebone or steel.
relying for this purpose on the harmo-
NOUS and skillful disposition Of the plait-
ed muslin Of which it is composed. The
multiplied skirt, or jupon multiple, as it
is called, supports q series Of volants,
tapered and grouped like fan, which
are moved at will by means Of metallic
eyelets. For travelling it is quite con-
venient - il occupies little space.

PROCLAMATION BY THE GOVERNOR.
A well established and most COM
mendable custom requires that shall
designate day to be observed by the
people Of this State,as day of Thanks
giving to God for his great mercies to
us as a people.
We are in the enjoyment not only Of
the blessings Of liberty, safety and
peace, common to all the people Of our
country, but while many Of them are
suffering the privations of parched fields
and blighted harvest, our own State
is filed with abundance, and our gran
aries groan with fullnes.
1t is therefore peculiarly incumbent
upon us, in our prosperity, to remem-
ber Him who has thus blessed us, and
not to forget those of our brethren who
have not been SO highly favored.
Moved by these considerations. do
hereby appoint Thursday the 2sth day
Of November next, as day to be OBJ
served by the people Of Iowa, as a day
Of Thanksgiving to Almighty God for
the great mercies vouchsafed by Him
to US, and of humble and earnest pray
er for the continuance of those mercies
to US and to our posterity-and do
earnestly recommend that on that day
our people abstain from all secular bus
mess, and devote the day to the service
Of Him, whose favor is the only sure
support and bulwark Of States and Ma
tions.

October, A. D, 1850, by the Cover

HORRIBLE CAUSALTY!
Five Persons Burned e ne ath !!

1t becomes our painful duty to record
the most heartrending calamity tha,
has ever befallen any party within the
limits Of our county. Daniel Swearin.
gen, recently from Tuscarawas county,
Ohio, on his way to his farm in the
neighborhood of Fl. Dodge, passed
through our town on Monday last, with
his wife and four children, all in fine
spirits at the prospects of an early ter
mination Of their five weeks journey.
They had experienced the most pleasant
weather imaginable, and had no
thought of anything but the cheerful
prospects before them.
In this frame Of mind, and without
other warning than q moments sensa-
ton Of heat as felt through the cover
Of the wagon in which they were all
travelling in fancied security, they were
overtaken by fire on the prairie. Be-
fore any measure for protection could
be taken, the wagon-cover was in flames.
In moment the bedding and other in.
flammable material was on FIRE, and, be.
fore Mr.. S. could make his way out ot
the wagon, through the flames, his
clothing was on FIRE. Unfortunately,
as he fell out Of the wagon, he was
kicked by one Of the horses, and for
time stunned beyond ability to helu
the others. He revived in time to
see his wife fall from the wagon, burned
to death, and to drag FROM the flames
one Of his children, already dead. His
own clothing was burned entirely from
his body, and he is very severly burned.
especially in the head, face, and hands
He is at present sightless, but hopes
are entertained Of his recovery. and
that his eye-sight is not DESTROYED.
Two Of the children were literally
burned up in the wagon. Of one.
nothing could be found but the skull !:
the other charred mass, in which was
no trace of humanity left.
One Of the horses was burned to
death in the harnesss; the other sue
ceeded in freeing himself but Is badly
burned.
