peices, and . deep furr0w was scooped
out Of the hard ground several feet from
the building. Mr.. C.'s son, who was

shock, but very soon recovered. A. It

BrsckinriAgess Seduction and Repent.
! "oeoaslonal, the washington cor
respondent Of Forney's Press, who for
years past has been the constant and
graceful eulogist Of Mr.. Breckinridge,
now makes The following revelations /:
Prior to the secession demonstration
ct Baltimore, and, it u confidently stated
between the Charleston bolt and that in
the City Of Monuments, Mr.. Vice Presi-
dent Breckinridge was in the habit Of
assuring the Douglas men in this CITY
that he would take the stump in every
Northwestern State for Douglas, should
he DO nominated. There are hundreds
Who will remember his declarations to
this effect. The truth is, he never
dreamed Of being made . tool by his
embittsred enemy, James Buchanan,
until certain men closed around him and
put the cup to his lips, and compelled
him to conceal the nsuseous dose. They
had arranged the plan Of disunion long
before, but he wss ignorant Of it. !
have no doubt that in his own heart he
deeply deplores the position he reluct
antly aasumsd indeed, it 10 asserted
that since he has accepted the disunion
domination, be has, in moments Of con.
6denoe to his friends, in the deepes,
agony, regretted the step he permitted
himself to take.
