MR.. RADGER'S SPEECH.

The Hon. George E. Badger, one of the Opposi-
ton Electors for the State at large, addressed the
peope in the Courthouse in this place, on Monday
evening last. We did not her Mr.. Badger, but we
learn that he spoke mainly on ad raiorem and Bell
and Everett.
1t is a little strange that Mr.. Bager should come
forward at this late period of his life to advocate
scheme even apparently intended to beneht the
great mass of the people. We say apparently In,

person who investigates the subject that Mr. Badger
plan Of taxing ecery thing, instead OF diminishing
the burdens of the great body OF the people, Will
actually increase them. But Mr.. Badger, tor the
first time in his career as pubic man. processes
sympathy with the masses, and would be thelr
champ pon in establishing equality for them! Where
he when Free Suffrage was before the people

substance of the assumption) in advocating and car
rying Free Suffrage the Opposition have right to
do wrong too by advocating and carrying ad lore
Equally strange is the course wlch Mr Badger Is
pursuing in relation to MIR Bell and the Kansas Ne
braska act. 1t is well known that Mr.. Badger stood
side by side with Judge Douglas as one OF the cha~
mpions of that act yet he now stands upon plat
form, and most probably himself framed the plat
form which dtnounces that act as having 'abrogat-
ed longestablished COMPROMISED" 1t is we'll
known, too, that Mr.. Bell voted against that act ;
that Mr. Badger, having authority to do so, pledged
Mr.. Bell in its favor before the vote was taken !;
that Mr. Bell denied Mr.. Badgers authority thus to
pledge him that Mr.. Badger insisted on his auth
ority as from AR. Bell himselt'; and that Mr. Bell
charged falsehood on Mr. Badger in reply. If this
issue of verdcity has been settled the public has
never been informed of it. If Mr. Bell-assum 6
the fact oe so-has ever atoned to Mr. Badger
and to the Wing party Of this act Of treachery on
his part, the country does not know it. And yet
Mr.. '5adger, under these circumstances, could ex-

May 26til, relates
4 very distressing affair occurred in this county,
at the residence of Mr. U. G Flowers, last week.
Mr. Latay cite Lee shot his wife with revolver, and
was then himself shot and killed by Mr.. Flowers. 1t
seems that Ice md his wife had not been living
very happily together for sometime, and he being
rather destitute condition, became very low-spirit
cd and threatened several occasions to kill him
self and wife, but she never paid any attention to
his threats. On Friday evening, Mr.. Flowers, ia
relation with whom Lee was living) and Mrs Lee sat
down to play game of chess. The game had not
progressed when Lee, who was sitting near them,
! drew revolver, and without saying
word, shot his wife twice.
AS she was falling to the floor Mr.. Flowers caught
her. but seeing that Lee had the pistol pointed at
him. he drew small pocket pistol and fired, killing
Lee almost instantly. Mrs Lee, it is thought,
not recover.

TOMORROW.
BY WILLIAM RusK.

Did we but know what lies beyond
This varied, shadowy path we tread,
How often would our souls despond,
Our eyes the tears of sorrow shed 2
But God, who knows what's best to do,
Who sees us from his starry throne,
Has wisely hidden from our view
That which had best remain unknown.
We walk to-day in conscious pride,
And hang the flag of hope on high;
But ali ! tomorrow by our side
Some friend may lay him down and die
Some early flower that won our praise,
Some altar where we laid our trust;
Such flower, ere dies the evening rays,
May trampled be and laid in dust.
Youth dreams of many glorious thing,
As on he HES in pleasures track
Each day some newborn promise brings,
He turns no eye OF sorrow back;
The fowery fields are all before,
His eyes on some bright star are set;
Life is to him sunny shore,
He'll learn it has its shadows yet.
Tomorrow In its secret shade
| little know what is for me;
! may be with my fathers laid,
Or wrecked on dire misfortune's sea
But far beyond life's boundary lives
The everlasting army bright;
And He alone who takes or gives,
Can guide my wandering feet Alright.
