What the Breckinridge National
Committee IL for.

Hitherto, says the Worcester Times, it
has been difficult to understand what the
Breckenridge Committee in Washington
had to do, as the South indicated that they
were exerting either no influence at all, or
else it was against the disunionists. But
New Hampshire Burke, who has the con-
troll of President Buchanan's matters in
New England, in his Standard Of the 18th
instant, abiding to the fact that there are
still few Douglas postmasters left in New
Hampshire, says:
We call upon the friends of Breckinridge in
every town to watch these Douglas postmas.
tiers, and report them to the State Central
Committee of the National Democracy. Their
cases will be attended to at Washington.
So it appears, says the Times, in its com.
ments, that the business of Isaac I. Stevens,

tute in the National Convention Territory

to sit in judgment upon New England post
masters, and threaten to turn them out of

for they constitute ninety-nine hundredths

The Canadian Red River Exploring
Expeditions.

The Canadian government having de-
spatched, in the years 1857 and 1858, two
expeditions, at cost of $4,000, for the
exploration of the southern portion of Ru-
pert Land, or the basin of Lake Winnipeg,
including the country within the limits of
the new Crown Colony of Red River, as
we'll as the region traversed by the proposed
overland route from Canada to British Co.
lumbia, the narrative of those expeditions,
drawn up by Mr.. Henry Youle Hinde, M.
A., F.R.GS., Professor of Chemistry and
Geology in Trinity College, Toronto, who
had charge of the second expedition, is pre-
pairing for publication by Messrs. Longman
& Co. The explorations have extended
over large area of country never before
described in many parts never previously
visited by white men, in others only by fur
traders or their half. breed servants. The
winter journey in 1853, from Fort Garry,
on Red River, to Grow Wing, on the Mis-
sissippi, was made over the snow in dog
carioles, part of the way in company with
Lord Frederick Cavendish, the Hon. Evelyn
Ashley and Mr.. Dandy Seymour.

A Spicy Response.

The BRECKENRIDGE committee at Mil

to Mr.. s. w. FULLER, of Hudson, Wis,

this epistle Mr.. FULLER responds as follows

corning the chances of Messrs. Breckenridge
and Lane in this locality, and also my views
in reference to holding a Breckenridge con-
vention, &c.
The idea of your holding "(M)ass COM
vention" never occurred to me, but am of
the opinion that it would be "good thing, /"
providing Old Buck will pay the bills, which
/ have no doubt be will do. 1 would sug-
gest Jehu H. Lewis, S. M. Booth, E. A.
Calkins, Prof. Daniels and Postmaster Stee-
yer, as suitable persons for your " Presiden-
tial Electors" The principles of these men,
taken together, are perfect illustration of
the inconsistencies of your "party."
The democrats of this county support for
the Presidency, Stephen A. Douglas, of H.
linois-the regularly nominated candidate
of the party-the champion of the peoples
rights, and the Incorporating foe Of cor
rupt administration. We are as a unit for
the Little Giant and non-intervention and
we shall aid in rolling up such q majority
for him and his cherished principles in No
vember, that the rotten carcass Of James
Buchanan and bis mental followers shall
tremble at the just rebuke received at the
hands of their countrymen.

this county we should have t,Oo in all-but

ment money in your hands, would suggest
that it would be well for you to remit him
few dollars to defray his expenses.
With much regard for you and yours I
remain,

OF Bread.
One of the most brutal murders we have
lately noticed was committed in Chicago on
the night Of the I'd ult. A German baker
named Adam Hagemas, who is subject at
times to demoniac fits of passion, found that
bis assistant, Henry Castor, had carelessly
burned batch of bread. The Press and
Tribune says:
In fit of rage at this occurrence, he knocked
the man Castor down with his fist. The fallen
man got up and ran out of the shop. Hageman
seized slat used in pie rack, being a piece
of wood about the size of fence picket, which
from constant use in the oven, had been baked
until it was almost as hard as iron, and followed
him. When he overlook him he struck him
and beat him with great violence, and finally
thrust him through the fence where the poor
fellow lay in the ditch until taken up by the
neighbors, when life was extinct.
The murderer, in the meanwhile, his rage
stated, and returned to the house and coolly re-
sumed his avocations. When informed that
the man was dead, he manifested no feeling,
but replied: "Then suppose that I've come
to q point all you've got to do is to put the
rope around my neck" He then requested the
officers to wait until he could finish a batch of
bread he was then preparing for the oven, re-
marking, "the dead can take care of them
selves; we must attend to the living, and they
must have bread"
Hageman has been lodged in Jail. Ex-
traordinary stories are told of his violent
temper and great personal strength. Fora
long time be has been the terror of the po-
lice, with whom he has had several encoun>
tiers.

The Political Sentiments Of the three
Caudidatess

If the people of any Territory will pro-
hibit slavery themselves, 1 do not care about
Congress prohibiting it. If they want the
institution, Congress should prevent them
from having it.--Abralam Lincoln.
If the people Of any Territory will protect
and foster slavery, it is not necessary for
Congress, in my judgement, to interfere /;
but if they prohibit the institution, then it
will be necessary for Congress to force it up
on Mem-John C. Breckenridge.
Let the people of the Territories have
slavery or not, as they prefer. Congress
should not NEEDLE with their decision, one
way or the other.-Sephen A. Douglas.

in regard to the abstract rights of the negro,
are continually being quoted by the Repub-
licans. He has clearly defined his position
on the geographical line of Sc degrees 30

letter to Mr.. SHORT, dated April 18th, 1920,
he said
Although had laid down as q law to myself
never to write, talk, or even think of politics,
to know nothing of political affairs, and had
therefore ceased to read newspapers, yet the
Missouri question aroused and filed me with
alarm. The old schsm Of Federal and Repub-
lican threatened nothing, because it existed in
every State, and united them together by the
fraternism of party. But the coincidence of
marked principle, moral and political, with
geographical line once conceived, l feared

with marked principle, moral and political,

every irritation will mark it deeper and deeper.
If they would but dspassionately

Judge Magrath's Resignation.

The following may be interesting as showing on what ground judge of fed. eral court in South Carolina thought pro- per to resign. Wecopy from the Charles ton Mercury of the 9th inst
 NOVEMBER ', 1860.
 At the close of this decree, fan ordinary case in court, his honor asked if there was any motions to be made or orders to be taken by the gentlemen of the bar present. His honor then asked if the grand jury had any preseutment to make, whereupon, R. N. Goudin, esq, foreman, said:
 Mdy a please your Honor:-It is under stood to be one of the functions of the grand jury to make presentments of nui- sances, and to suggest to the court and to the country such reforms in law, or in it's administration, as may to them seem pro- per. These presentments are predicted upon the stability of the government, and are designed to promote its gradual and steady progress to the highest civilization. Hence 1t was the purpose of this jury to lay before the court some matters suggested by the indictments submitted to them; but the
 
 necessary now. The verdict of the northern section of the confederacy, solnmnly an nonnced to the country through the ballot ], box on yesterday, has swep away the last hope for the permanence-for the stability of the federal government of there sovereign States; and the public mind is constrained to lift itself above the consideration of law and justice, up to the vast and solemn is- sues which have been forced upon us.- These issues involve the existence of the government ofwhich this court is the organ and minister. In these extraordinary cir cumstanees, the grand jury respectfully de- cline to proceed with their presentments.- They deem this explanation. due to the court and to themselves
 Thereupon. his honor addressed the grand jury as follows: aqb I The business of the term has beenr dis. posed of. And, under ordinary circum- stances, it would be my duty to dismiss you to your several avocations, with my thanks for your presence and aid. But now have something more to do, the omission of which would not be.consistent with propriety. In the political history of the United States an event has happened of omnous import to fifteen slaveholding | States. Tho State of which we are citizens has been always understood to have dehbe rately fixed its purpose, whenever that event should happen. Feeling an assurance of what will be the action of the State, I con sider it my duty, without delay, to prepare to obey its wishes. That preparation is made by the resignation of the office have held. For the last time have, as judge of the United States, administered the laws of the United States within the limits of the State of South Carolina.
 l While thus acting in obedience to sense of duty, cannot be indifferent to the emo. tions it must produce. The department ol government which, I believe, has best maintained its integrity and preserved its purity, has been suspended. So far as ] am concerned tbetann110. of justice. .a;auif1

 To the officers of this court, with whom l have been so long and pleasantly con nected; to the attorney of the United States for this State, whose ability and fidelity in the discharge of his duties merit the high est commendation; to the marshal, whose zeal has ever kept pace with the obligation of his office; to the clerk, whose experience has ever been generously exercised in the business of the court; to all other officers. who have invariably been exact in all they were required to do-with all of whom nv official relations have been productive of the highest qualification, now tender, as the last official act which I shall here dis charge, my kindest wishes for their hap pness and prosperity.
