awoke from sleep by great noise made in her yoom
by rat when she set small poodle dog that slep,
at her bedside, upon him. Which was very soon
conquered The lady, anxious to escape the apparently
inrurated thing attempted to jump into bed, and
willie in the act, the rat quit its hold upon the dog
aud flying at her, seized with his teeth the sole o
her right foot the two small toes and inflicted
severe wound. Simple remedies were used upon the
wound, but Friday morning. there were such strong
evidences of tctanus appearing that DR. Fraser WAS

Republicans for Breckinridge-B reckia.
ridSers for Lincoln.

The Republican party advocates Congressional in
PREVENTION against slasery-the Yancey party makes
Congressional Intervention to protect slavery its sine
qua non. Both positions are calculated and designed
to keep alive the slavery agitation. The Republicans
carried out their policy, as far as they had the
power, by voting for a bill to prohibit slavery in the
Territory of New Mexico-tbe Yanceyites backed
down from their policy by refusing to vote to protect
slavery in Kansas. The former are sincere-the latter
are humbugging. But they are playing into each
others hands, and endorsing each others candidates.
For instance. the Hon. Joshua R. Giddings, Black Re
publican, says:
: AS regards the two Democratic candidates. pre-
Ter Brecklnriage, because he is not as much commit.
ted to slavery as Douglas. Douglas is a Shareholder,
and breckenridge is not, and therefore I prefer him. ="
And the Hen. John Petit, of Indiana, formerly a
United States Senator from that State, and a sup
porter of Breckenridge and Lane. prefers the election
OF Lincoln to that of Mr.. Douglas IN a letter aLvo-
eating the policy of forming an electoral ticket for
Breckinr,dgea and Lane in Indiana, he SAYS:
ut is said that this policy will elect Lincoln. Let
IT be so rather than that Douglas should succeed.
believe that Lincoln is a more conservative and
sounder national man than Douglas, and that less
danger to the Union, and to its parts, North. and
south, Is to b, feared by the election of the former
than the latter"
This is the programme. '.Tickle me, Tommy, and
III tickle you u and we will both together keep up
the s'irrepressible conflict"
