a pretty good political manager, and as he is

ATTEMPT TO AssassrNATE BOTH LOUIS Ma
PoLEoN AND GAR1BALDI.-The Paris letter of
the New York Times says: -
An examination is going on at Rome,
under some branch of the French authority
there, of persons charged with connection
with a conspiracy to assassinate the Emperor
Napoleon and Gen. Garibaldi! According
to the Roman correspondent of La Malone,
of Florence, the Prelacy is implicated in en-
deavoring to employ two persons whose
names are given as Franchi and Mariani, to
do the work, with promise of FIVE hundred
thousand francs for the life of the crowned
head, and one-hfth of that sum for that of
olutio
had already been examined, and other testi-
mony was expected. The crime charged is
not a small one, and if the account given is
correct, full evidence will be waited for with
an interest in proportion to the extraordinary
character and position of those said to be
| implicated" -.si .-F .-s mi
1gg@ Mr.. Golden, of Georgia, made himself
conspicuous in the Charleston and Baltimore
Conventions, by speeches in favor of the AT
rican Slave Trade. The special Baltimore
dispatch of the 22d, to the Cincinnati Gaeztte,
says: "Golden (Douglasite) of Georgia, is
now (10P M making a speech. He de.
clares himself an African slave trade man
He believes that the African slave trade has
done more for the human race than any other
thing. He called Virginia slave breeding
State, which offended Virginian, whereupon
he declared himself a slave breeder and glo-
ried in it. He has as many niggers as any
man in Georgia. On his plantation were
lot of babies as fine as could be found any
where. The General Government should
take its hands off, and let them get slaves
from Africa. If it was right for him to get
o niger from Virginia at $4,000 it was right
to 60 to Africa and get one for $50"
The Rev. c. C. Foote, writing from De-
troit says: 1 have been interrupted since
commencing this letter, by man, his wife
and three children fresh from slavery-wea-
ry, hungry, and ragged. This is just half
the number we have had here to-day to be
cared for. @ 1# 31 HT2
