ANOTHER OUTRAGE Gov. Bssel, of Illinois, has
connvcd at the escape of fugitive slave and con-
Wet from Kentucky.

few years ago, slave OF j. I. Aawkihs was III
dcted for burglary hut made his escape with assist
,nce Fl, m the Abclitionists. He was next heard Of
IN Chicago, where he sported white woman as his
mistress lie committed some crime, and was
Condemned to the Pentenhary, his time expiring ON
the 18th Of February, $50. The Governor, fearing
that he would be demanded sent him pardon, to
TAKE effect Oh the llth of February. However, his
owner appeared at Springfield on the Sth, and pre-
scented n requisiton for escaped felon, from the
Governor of Kentucky The Governor of Illinois eff
fected delay in getting the proper papers from
the Secretary Of State, and while waiting for said
documents, he dispatched special messenger to the
Warden of the prison, ordering the immediate re-
lease of the prisoner so that when the owner pre-
sented HIMSELF the bird had flown to Canada. Such
course shows bad faith, and unmanly deception to-
wards sister State and is viewed with disgust and
adherence by all honorable men. Equality and
rights! This is fair sample of what the South may
expect at all times.

GossIp FROM DALLAs.--Our friend Judge Buford,

has been heard there for years. and he can do it, too
notwithstanding Dallas is full of the brightest ana

lady presented him with an heir, ten pounder.-

the utmost indignation prevails on the frontier about
the course of GOVERNOR friend, Pryor, OF

which we try to advocate--a cause which has engag-

friend Cushing is the ''bright particular STAR" We
do not mean this rs return for what he has said
about the Herald, but simply because it is true. and
because all that could say of the Telegraph in its
praise, would be but the echo Of what we hear,
whenever the name of Gushing and the Telegraph is
mentioned. Long life to them both.

Disunion Proclaimed.

Some of the supporters Of Breckenridge and Lane
pretend to deny that the leaders in bringing about
the nomination of that ticket, are seeking disco
luton of the Union, but the evidence is too over
whelmiug for successful denial. We have here
tofore published enough under this head to satisfy
every unprejudiced mind, but we shall continue to
pile up the facts as they are developed. The Cam
den (Ala) Register is quoted as follows by the New
Orleans Bulletm
We run up our flag to-day for Breckenridge and
Lane, the Democratic nominees for President and
Vice-President of the United States. We have un-
waveringy contended for the last ten years that It
would be better (for all concemed) 10 make tsoo or
more distinct governments OF the Territory comprising
He United States Of Americd-and that such will
ultimately be done there can be no sort of doubt;
but it should be done with fairness and justice to
every section of the Union; and behcViag that the
party 10 ,ohich belong is The only reliable one 10

ciples to the fullest extent of our ability

it quoted as having rejoiccd exceedingly when the

thought it saw in the circumstance the beginning of

Boil and Everett in Mississippi.

At meeting of the National Union Executive
Committee of Mississippi in council with candidates
fol- electors and friends from different portions of
the State held at the City of jackson, July ls,
1860, these resolutions were adopted;
Resolued That the Central State Committee of
Mississippi have received accurate and reabln n-
formation from all sections Of the State; and upon
this information, they warranted in declaring, as
they hereby do, that the prospect of carrying this
State Tor Bell and Everett is most cheering, and as
sures them that by proper exertions it can be made
certain at the November election.
Re8olUea, That they recommend the formation of
Bell and Everett clubs in every county in the State
as the most efficient mode Of effectng perfect Or
ganization Of our party and securing thorough
canvass Of the whole State.
ReSolved, That they advise the circulation of do
cuments amongst the people, being convinced that
our cause and the character and merits of our can
didates, require only to be thoroughly understood
be appreciated by the patriotic voters of the whole
State and TO become their choice at the polls.
Resolved That they declare, with confidence,
that their candidates are free from the taints of
tonasm, and purely national in thcr character and
that they stand on platform which ensures the
perfect equality of the States and the constitutional
rights of the people thereof

Presidential Egotism.

James Buchanan, through the wrath of Divine
Providence permitted to ill the Presidential Chair
for time, seems disposed to do all in his power be-
fore yielding up his Office to degrade the Presidency
and make himself appear ridiculous to the whole
people. The annexed extract from dispatch to the
St, Louis Bulletin, under date Of the nth inst,
shows Tie old political actor in new character,
very much akin to that sustained by the ass which
clothed itself with a lions skin. The dispatch says;
The resolutions of the National Democratic volun-
teers of New York adopting President Buchanan's
speech ut the Breckenridge ratification meeting as
an expression of their own views, were presented to
him yesterday by Mr.. Lawrence, associate editor of
the Democratic Quarterly RevieV. To-day the Pre-
sident acknowledged their receipt by letter. in
which he beyond grateful expression Of his thanks,
speaks of himself as among the last of race of men
who have been the guardians of the Constitution
and the Union, lie remarks that the sacred duty
of such guardianship has descended To a new gene
ration and the only hope of perpetuating the Union
rests in the observance Of all Constitutional pro-
visions.
1t is truly refreshing to observe the GOODNESS with
which this man, who has been publicly charged
with gross political frauds; whose whole career has
been marked by the commission of acts which
would have consigned one holding an inferior posi-
ton to merited oblivion; who ever pursued with
vindictye hate all who opposed his schemes; who
has in fine been guilty of all the vices of political
society, which he covered with the mantle of hy-
pocncy speak of himself as being among the last
Of race of men who have been the guardians Of
tue Constitution and the Union" We cannot con-
ceve of egotistical assertion than this of J.,
B., nor one more calculated 20 provoke the derision
of those who know him, 1t is hardly possible that
he can himself entertain any such idea but if he
does II is very good evidence of disordered intel
ect following 10 the train of bad life, and caused
by an accusing conscience,
As to the new generation TO whom the guardian
ship of the Union aud Constitution has descended

indeed, shall we begin to entertain fears for the

W. i. YANcEY-Ths gentleman made speech
at Selma Ala, on the night of the 18th inst. The
Selma Reporter says:
Business prevented our attendance, but we are
informed that the Colonel's speech was bold and
manly, dspassionate aud argumentative, strong and
persuasive, being in keeping with the widespread
reputation he now enjoys. But, notwithstanding
the many glittering inducements thrown out by the
Colonel, we have not heard Of a single voter being
decoyed from the Union ranks to unite his destiny
with those Of a party whose star has already
commenced setting in the lowest depths of political
obscurity.
We understand, from the manner in which the
Colonel began his speech his hearers were fully
satisfied that he still entertained his disunion senti-
ments and was pursuing a course which he thought
would accomplish his sole obect--a dissolution Of
the Union.
For the good of our cause we hope that Col
Yancey will make ii convenient between this and
the election to favor with another of his great
speeches. They will have more effect in uniting
the voters on Bell and Everett wherever he goes,
than anythngssth that can be said by those who OPP
pose him. He shows his hand plainly, and all that
is required TO satisfy the common-sense portion of
the people that the Constitutional Democratic Qsasi-
Squatter Sovereignty ticket is dsnion affair, is to
hear the statement that his is a SECTIONAL PARTY.

Breckenridge A Failure in New
Orleans,

The New Orleans Bulletin of Monday has the fol-
lowing amusing account of an immense Breckin-
ridge meeting in that city;
A few days ago, Democratic contemporaries an
nounced with an omnibus solemnity that, on Satur-
day night there would be great rally of the
Breckinridge Democracy Of New Orleans on Canal
street it would be a meeting worthy of the cause
and indicative of the ardor that prevailed in favor
of he Democratic candidates. Well, Saturday
evening came cool aud delightful an evening as
any body could wish TO have. The stars shown
out with placid briancy that fairly invited people
out but there was no Breckenridge and Lane
meeting. 1t appears that there were no speakers,
and il further appears that there were no Breckin-
ridge and Lane listners, and these two items con-
sidering indispensable to Breckenridge and Lane
demonstration, being wanting, no meeting what
ever took place. twas a dead failure, and omin-
Gus Of the fate of the candidates. II properly in

says
Placing no great reliance upon the reports hear

He could not carry the State to-day, and will grow
weaker from this time until November. The only
thing which ever gave the Secession party any

PESNsYLvANIA--We learn from special dispatch
to the Cincinnati Enquirer, of the 18th inst, that
the address Of the Douglas Executive Committee,
disappearing any arrangement with the Disunion-
lists hurts their feelings very much. Their gamo
has been TO send the election to the House, and as
no choice could be made there they fondly cacula-
ted upon seeing Lane elected by the Senate--Since
this scheme has been ruined it now remains to, be
seen whether the disorganizers mean to persist in
their mad efforts to destroy the party. It Is not
considered unlikely that Breckinridge, seeing that
he has no chance of success may yet withdraw.

THE wITHERED DAISIES.

You ask me why love them so,
These little simple flowers,
That over every pasture blow,
In April's sunny showers;
And why daisy wreath twine,
Instead of dewy roses,
To hang above the holy shrine
Where our lost child reposes.
Twas in the spring time that she came,
And all the forest mazes
Were bright with flowers without name,
The fields were white with dasies
You know how beautiful she grew,
How fair, how sweet and holy,
But the violet, wet with morning dew,
Is not more pure and holy.
She fitted like sunbeam bright
Around our cottage door
Her footsteps, AS fairy's light
Made music on the floor.
On every flower of wood or glade,
She lavished childish praises,
She loved all things the Lord has made,
But most she loved the daisies.
How many thoughts beyond her years,
That then were all unheedcd,
We think of now with binding tears
Sweet teaching that we needed.
Three happy years we led her feet
Along life's thorny mazes
The fourth we laid her down to sleep
Beneath the April daisies.
'Tis well, and we are reconciled,
For He who gave the blossom,
Who lent to us our angel child,
Recalled her to His bosom;
And waiting till He calls for me,
To sing with her His praises,
keep her blessed memory
Embalmed in April daisies.
