A SENSATION WIDOW AT SARATOGA

Ficissitudes IN the Life ofa Romantic Girl.
A correspondent writes thus from Saratoga de-
scribing d character there:
Madame Montford was born in one of the South
Western States. Her parents were wealthy, and,
natural consequence, the daughter was educa-
ted at a fashionable boarding-school. Her man
ners were carefully attended to, and her morals
would have been equally well cultivated, but I'M
fortunately those entrusted with the task did not
attend to the blOssOming virtues very judiciously
The girl graduated at sixteen Returning home
she developed remarkable taste for reading, her
fathers library was well stocked with ragouts by
George Sand and other ingenious French cooks,
and this rather highly-seasoncd mental pabulum
constituted her sole food.
After seed is sown, the harvest follows in due
course of time. The young lady fell in love with
young gentleman representing himself to be an
Austrian officer, the cruel parents refused their
consent, and locked her up in the library where
she read the Sorro'rs Of Herter By Goethe, and
the 4Hajdcn'S Doom, by a late writer. The Aus
trian presented himself beneath the window one
night, with ladder, and the young lady went
North with him on bridal tour, but, by strange
oversight, neglected to get married before starting
The Austrian officer turned out to be French va
let, and was arrested IN Canada for stealing his
masters clothes
The young lady thrown on her own resources
tried her fortune on the stage, and made quite
successful debut as "Ophela" before Montreal
audience. She subsequently played successful
engagement at Richmond, and finally accepted an
offer to take a leading part at of the Western
theatres. Not long since her parents died and left
her in possession of handsome property. She is
now twenty-six years of age; she spends most of
her time and money in alternating between the
South and the North-changing climate with the
seasons, making the whole year a perpetual sum
mer. She dresses always in black, is very decor
GUS in her conduct, and frequently makes affecting
illusions to her dear deceased husband Few are
familiar with the details of her early life, and if
she does not marry certain Congressman within
the next year, it will be wholly her own fault.

Unfortunately, however for the

The Great Boston Meeting.

One ofthe most stupendous gath
erings ofthe people ever witnessed
in a country town was held in a
large grove Immediately west Of the
village of Boston, in Wayne coun-
ty Indiana, on Friday last.
The crowd was absolutely terrif-
lie in its dimentions, magnificent in
it's minutia, grand in its character,
and soul cheering in its grandeur,
to every individual to whose happi-
ness the triumph of democratic
principles is essential, and as it is a
well established rule of logic, that

ries with it an expressed or implied
negative" it is hardly necessary to
say that it was the reverse of soul
cheering to all who are opposed to
the Democratic party,
1t is useless for us to attempt to
give q description of the vast pro-
~cessions and delegations that filled
every avenue leading towards Dru-
ly's grove, or to impress upon the
minds of our readers an idea of the
great enthusiasm that prevailed
throughout the entire crowd, and
seemed to pervade the very atmos.

Republican Morals and Decency.

On Saturday night, last, or rath-
er on Sunday morning, a party,
composed of the most, intelligent.
moral and decent Republicans in our
town, in pursuance of orders from
head quarters, cut down the hicko-
ry pole erected a couple of weeks
since by the Democratic Germans
in the South part of town. Mr.. @.
Cuppy by whose residence the
pole was standing, overheard these
intelligent and moral gentlemen just
about the time, they were complet-
ing the work assigned them to d.
Selling his shot gun Mr.. Cuppy
Immediately sailed forth, and OBJ
tanned two shots at q very rapidly
retreating enemy, one load ofwhich
it is said, badly damaged one of the
%miscreants in that portion OF his
body, where no good soldier ever
gets struck. This we suppose is
the legitimate fruits of the misera-
BILE, personal blackguardism thrown
npon this portion of our citizens q
week or so ago by the editors of
the Register. There was some OBJ
ject certainly in the publication OF
that gross and improved vulgarity,
it was either done for the purpose of
producing a difficulty of this char
acter, or the editors supposing that
a portion of their readers did
not relish any other kind of food,
served up this dish of miserable low
flung, personal abuse for their es-
pecial benefit. Which was it gen
tleman? Wonder if the Editors
can't mistate and falsify this whole
matter, can't it tell its readers, that
these 'Dambheits' did it themselves.
when they were all dead drunk, or
that the whole thing was gotten up
by the Democratic Central Commit
tee, for the purpose of saddling il
on to the intelligent, moral, decent,
honest and respectable Republicans.
Do try, it would be SO very NICE
We do not wish to be understood
as c%ounselling violence, but we say
to our German friends, procure an
other pole and erect it at the earli-
est practicable moment, and then,
defend it at all hazards.
And we say further to our friends
let their be no retaliation in this
matter, do not attempt in any way
to interfere with the poles erected
by Republicans, but mind you, stand
strictly on your ODn rights.
P. s. Since the above was in
type we learn that our German
friends on Friday, next, intend
raising a pole $50 feet in length
Let everybody turn out and help
them.

The Republicans Alarmed.

When the nomination of Stephen
A. Douglas was announced to the
country, the organs of the Black
Republicans throughout this Sec
ten of the country were jubilant
with rejoieings at the prospect Of
an easy victory over the divided
forces Of their antagonists. They
declared without hesitation, that
the candidate of the seceders would
carry the entire South, while the
democratic vote of the North would
be 80 far divided as to render the
triumph of Lincoln certain. But
how different the tone of these
presses now. In the short space Of
eight or ten weeks they have
changed materially the burden Of
their song, and are now quite eager
to sound the trumpet of alarm to
their friends, and advocate prompt
and vigorous action in view of the
danger which threatens them on
every side.
AS the campaign progresses, the
views of the people are being made
known, and they see in their al
most unanimous voice O sympathy
for the "Little Giant" They see
he is constantly adding new re-
cruits to his standard, and in the
pride oftheir strength, the masses
are with him, fully determined the

Our Mass Meetine.

WA AA0os 0ASesAA6s
By reference to another column
of this paper, it will be seen, that
the Democracy of Preble County
intend holding a Great Mass Meet
ing, at this place, on Saturday the
18th of Sept. Considering the ma
ture and character of the political
issues now before the country, it
would seem unnecessary for us to
say one word relative to the duty
of every Democrat in the county
making it his special business to
attend this meeting. "Our breth-
rem are already in the field, why
stand we here idle" The largest
and most enthusiastic Democratic
meetings, ever known in America
are now being held daily all over
the country. The people are thor
oughly aroused, and are fully de-
termined to resist to the last by
every peaceableand rightful means,
all efforts of the Republican party
to degrade the white man and
place him upon q level with the ne
gro, and to infringe upon and take
away the rightsof thepeople. That
these are the issues now presented
by the Republican party, it is folly
to deny. To infringe, hedge in and
gradually take away the rights Of
the common people, is now and has
been from the foundation of ou1
Government the chief and leading
element in the political faith of oul
opponents under all the various
names by them assumed. We hope
our friends throughout the several
townships in the county, will with
the view of demonstrating their de.
votion to the country and to the
rights of the citizen, 60 to work
in earnest and make all necessary
preparations for attending this
meetingin amanner consistent with
the importance o. the issues now
presented and of the danger of the
times. On Friday last, q meeting
was held at Boston, Indiana,
which in point Of numbers and en-.
thusiasm is said to have surpassed
any meeting ever held at a town Of
like size within a hundred miles o.
that place. Let us have a meeting
that shall eclipse this, that viii
throw our Boston friends far in thu
shade. But to do this, you mus
all be active, all work, and al
come.
Good speakers have been engag
ed, and will certainly be here to ad.
dress and lay before you, the tru,
condition of the politics of oul
State and nation. Come along
then, from the North, from the
South, from the East and from thu
West, let the old, the young ant
the middle aged all come togethel
and have a glorious reunion.
