B,ufaI Act-4 Hon Pulls q Horses
T,ugc fiym its Nomh-The Troy Times
# the 22d inst. publishes the account of
brutal act perpetrated in that city on
Monday last, by a man named Thomas
novning. 1t appears that Downing's team
we're in the cellarway, pulling on heavy
Ioad of stones or dirt. They refused to
draw when Downing, in a momentary fit
ol passion, stepped to the head of one of
the animals, and opening its mouth, caught
hold of the lounge, and pulled it out At
least three inches Of the lounge was pulled
off, and the piece was left lying for some
time afterwards on st0ne-it being wit
messed by quite number Of persons
The story of the cruelty was rapidly circu-
lated. and gentleman went to have the
r9ssionate man arrested under the statute
nunishing with severity such cruelty to
dumb beasts Downing followed him to
the detectives office, and begged so hard
to be let off, that the gentleman did not
care to press the matter further, though it
> probable that the man will be arrested,
since all agree that something should be
done to punish him for his unnatural crime
Downing states that he did not mean to
pull the horses lounge out, but only took
hold Of it in order to make the horse draw.
lie says he has seen other persons do SO,
and had no idea that the tounge would
come off. He thinks the bit cut it in
the first place, SO that with the strain Of
lis pulling it separated from the mouth.
The animal belongs to him, and will prob
ally have 10 be despatched, as it Will be
impossible for the poor beast to cat hereaf-
ter.
1t is to be hoped that such a cruel act
will meet with suitable punishment.

ms-From all portions of this Electoral Dis
trict, we hear the most cheering news. The
thorough manner in which the District is being.
canvasscd by our Elector, Gen. SHINES, assisted
by Attorney-General 7. J. Semmcs, is producing
the most favorable results. Indeed, it could
hardly be otherwise. It is only necessary that
the people should understand clearly the issues
presented to them, to decide unhcsitatingly to
cast their s~uffrages for Mr.. Breckenridge, the
Constitutional candidate for the Presidency; and
no person in the State could be found better
qualified to discuss these questions. and present
them in a clear and forcible light, than Mr..
7. J. Semmes. We congratulate our Elector
for having secured the assistance Of SO talented
and able an eypounder Of Democratic principles.
The services of this gentleman, in behalf of Con-
stitational Democracy. will not be forgotten.
He has made for himself a reputation second to
none in the State. He will speak, for the first
and only time in this parish, at the barbecue on
Saturday next.

s@rWe find the following in the New

Fusion between the Bell and Douglas
forces is considered out of the question.
The news from Tennessee has stunned
the Bellites. Among the Douglasites
who oppose fusion with Bell, and will
v consent to it, are snch men as

influential citizen, John Maginniss, of

On the other hand, the Bell manager
treat the sabjecto of fusion most tenderly.
They are aware that the publication of
a fusion would send three-fourths of the
Douglas men to Breckenridge, and thus
make a strict issue with the Democracy
issue for which they have no fancy.

ABOLITION ORGANIzATIoNs.-The Hart
ford Times says that " the name Wide
Awake was the designation by which
John Browns company was known in
Kansas, and was adopted i'll compliment
to that 'martyred hero.'" Mr.. Seward
said, also, in one of his late speeches,
that the "Wide Awake" organization
was relied on to assist at the inaugural
ton of Lincoln-a fact which has been
before limited. The "Widc Awakes"
have a regular military drill, and an or
ganization throughout the North. The
avowal of Mr.. Seward proves that it is
designed to support by force, if nccessa-
ry to their plans, the measures of an
Abolition Administration. The organ
ization has been effected under the dis
guise of campaign clubs; but under this
disguise the Abolitionists of the North
are at this moment completely organ
lied as a military body ontside Of the Mus!
1t has been denied that the wide
Awakes" were a military organization.
If this be the case, what means the fol-
lowing significant passage from Mr..
Stewards recent speech at La Crosse,
Wisconsin:
He expressed his qualification at
the strength of this Wide Awake organ
ization, and said it was possible their
services might not cease with the cleo
tion, They had heard for two months
of the last session Of Congress m inces-
SAINT Roasting as to what the South
would do in Isl of a Republican tri-
umph in the Presidential election. That
contingency was now a certainty; and
