 At the late Burns festival in Springfield, afteT enthusiastically drinking the health of Queen Victoria, there was spontaneous and unanir'- ous refusal to respond to the toast "to the presi dent of the United States" The president of the evening tried to move the company by say
 ing that they were not asked to honor the man but the office; but the Scotchmen would not see the nice distinction at all events they were not to be entrapped into giving any respect to Jemmy Buchanan. That sort of feeling is pret- ty general among all adopted citizens just now, as the presidential election will show. A South Carolina Spritualist writes North that he is great admirer of Andrew Jackson Davis, but if he should visit the South now, he would get coat of tar and feathers and per- haps hempen cravat
 Richard Realf, the secretary of John Brown seems to have returned to his old notions about slavery since he left the South. He has written a letter to the brother-n-aw of John E. Cook, in which he eulogizes John Brown and his asso- cates and says:-
 Il take no shame upon myself in that dissolved my connection with that mistaken and i'll fated enterprise and in justice to the solemn dead, must confess that the spirit of benevoence and self-sacrifce, and high audacity of courage, upon which it rested eclipse so surprisingly my csre- ful prudence and polite caution, that though the result has confirmed the justice of my judi. cous fears, 1 cannot choose but do homage to their memories, as beings who, in all noble it. tributes of character were infinitely above my- self"

A terrible calamity occurred in New York City on Thursday evening last, by fire breaking out in large tenement house six stories in height, situated in Elm street. It was occupied by NINE TEEN families and two stores, and eighteen per sons perished in the fames Soon after the fire broke out, which was early in the evening, the whole building was mass of flames, and the terrific shrieks of those in the upper stories, who were cut off from all egress from below, and to whom leap from their dizzy height would have been certain death, were as appalling as the i'm agitation can we'll picture. The fire was occa- stoned by little girl dropping lighted fluid lamp into pile of shavngs upon the first noor' directly under the staircase.
 On Friday morning, few minutes before eight, directly upon the heels of the above shock ing calamity, boiler explosion occurred at hat factory in Brooklyn, which resulted in the loss of five lives.

A girl by the name of Harriet Costigan was struck in the back by falling beam at some distance from the scene of explosion, and badly injured.

 The Richmond Enquirer was printed 1T mourning on account of the election of a repub lican speaker at Washington. The event was 8 sad one to the disunionists, but not half so bai as the election of republican president, fol which they may as we'll get their weeds ready. 1 James Stephens, the wife poisoner. was hung in the New Y York Tombs on Friday last. It took six police justices, five aldermen, three council men and one U. S. marshal, postmaster ant sheriff to see him we'll swung off.

My friends my people live afar off, on the shores of one oi the beautiful lakes of the West.

 The above remarks were interjected, as it were, between successive outbursts of applause, and, at their conclusion, the cheering of the excited crowd was prolonged for several minutes.
 Mr. Hickman, of Pennsylvania, was next call ed out He congratulated his friends upon the happy occasion that had called them together: The cause of freedom and union had achieved this day substantial triumph, which he trusted would be the precursor of others, until the fede- ral government should be wrested from those who had so long controlled it, and firmly grasped by the great, progressive, freedom-lovlng lhter- ests of the country. In such an event, should any section attempt disunion, the North would Drng it's power 10 pear' anu coiiip:i oD1Ien.9 ~ . and respect to the will of the majority. He did not hesitate to declare the same sentiments here that he had declared at home among his constit- uents and he should do so fearlessly, and upon all suitable occasions. We have not space for a more complete sketch of his remarks, which. like those of the gentlemen who preceded him. elicit ed during their delivery and at their close, the most enthusiastic demonstrations of applause.
 After another piece from the band the crowd left the hotel, and serenaded Mir. Davis of Mary land but not finding him at home, there was no response to their demand for a speech.

The unprincipled and mendacious vii
lains who intruded themselves into Con-
gress on the strength Of fraudulent votes
and forged returns: are being weeded out
as fast as the cases can be reached, The
whole patronage of the Government, as
is notorious to all the world, is used both
secretly and openly to bribe and corrupt
the people for partisan advantage. 1t is
no wonder, then, that ambitious dema-
gogues seek places in Congress, when
they can sell their votes for their own
advancement; and this especially when
venality is the surest road to promotion.
Hence, following the example of Bu-
chanan and Pierce's tools in Kansas, mea
in several States adopted the Oxford and
kickapoo plan Of getting into power
that is, by manufacturing certificates of
votes never given, to oyerbalance the
legal voters, knowing that the party
would sustain them for the sake of their
votes in Congress, to enable them to put
through their schemes in opposition to
the will of the people.
We last week had the pleasure of an
nouncing the fact that Cooper, of Michi-
gan, had just been expelled from the
seat he held by sheer fraud, and How
ard, the fairly elected Republican, ad-
mitted to his seat. We have this week
the pleasure to announce the fact that
another of these swindlers-Eastbrook,
of Nebraska-h has been ousted from
the seat he has occupied on the strength
of his fraudulent votes and forged re-
turns, and Daily, his Republican COM
petitor, admitted To their honor be il
said, there are some Southern member.
who will not indorse swindling and
forgery, even to keep Republican out
Of his seat, and Democrat in. We wish
we could say as much for Ohio Demo
cratic members; but the truth of history
will not permit us.

only did the ancient patriarchs, the
fathers of Gods chosen people, the Jews,
hold slaves, but the evil, if it be one,
was entailed by Noah himself upon one
of the branches of his own family; yet
we hear of no dcnunciation from the
Almighty upon his head for the act
Abraham was an extensive slave holder
he bought men with money had
slavc-holding been considered IAN
abomination in the sight of Heaven we
should naturally have expected that the
Deity would have requiredits Immediate
abolition; instead of which, God sane
tions and approves of it, and gives Abra-
ham directions how to conduct toward
those in this condition. 1t was after
wards not only sanctioned by the AL
mighty in the laws Of Moses, but posi-
lively enjoined under certain circum-
stances. If it was right then, can it be
wrong now? Can the lapse Of ages
change immutable principles?
Look into the New Testament. When
the Saviour was upon the earth, did he
denounce slavery as an evil, as sin?
Never. His diciples after him, SO far
from reprobating it, that some Of them
held slaves themselves" &c.
We would certainly have supposed the
thing was gotten up by some escaped
lunatic, were it not for the fact that the
editor and the work is recommended by
the leading Democrats Of the Union
1t may have an effect in upholding the
party, but if its base appeals and shame
less falshoods can find response in the
minds of a majority of the people, then
have they become so hopelessly demoral
lied as to make the continuance of free
institutions an impossibility.
