The families OF two uf our most reepectablf
citizens, Mexsrs. R. p. Officer and ". G. Huty
narrowly escaped premature grave yesterday
ut the hunds OF two sister negro girls, in their
respective enployments. The circumstuuces,
as nearly as we could come at them, are as fol.
lows: Yesterday morning, Immediately after
breakfaet, Mrs. Officer. with other members Ct
her family, felt suddenly indisposed. A pbysi.
c,an was sent for, and suspicious we're quickly
aroused that they had been poisoned On *
xmi1inG negro Klrl who was employed by the
f4mily as servant, tley succeeded in exactir Q
from her confession that she had purchased
ARSENIC =: drug store in ttja city. and mixed
it with coffee which had been prepared for
breakfast. on being asked to drink some OF
the ccf1ee which had been served st ,he break-
fAst table, she refused, and acknowledged thu!
ithad been drugged By herself
About the saue time, or on the day previous,
some Of ths members Of Mr. Hus3 4 family were
also strangely affected, and afser an invessixa.
t1on aud examination of the servant, "a negro
etri aEd sister Of the girl in tho employ of Mr.
Omcer,) it was a:certa1ned that she had scraped
some Of the quicksilver OF looking glass, and
mixed 1t with fried potatoes which had been
prepared for breakfast
The Two girls we're arrested yesterday ereu-
ing and contioed in the ca'aboose. Meanwhile
there are various aad conflicting rumors al to
tho motives which could have actuated them,
Ao'11 oA1 AAAs VI aE$ were lHQuCeu lnLC tl6 oRlIet
that they were slAyes and that this was the
most edectual way to secure their freedom by
terminating the existence ol those who held
them in slavery. Others, that q young negro

NOW AND TABNs
In another column We copy from Mrs. Kirk

suggestive words concerning the hopes, fears,
opiu;ons, and more than all the aetisn {as
shown in the extrast from Washipgton's willy
Of ,bose men who made our Federal Conatitu-
lion; those men who are 80 often quoted, ir-
reverently-we might almost say impiously-
by the new class Of statesmen who have sud
denly sprung up among Us, 1. c. tbs justifers
Of alAsery-sha leaders Of the Democratic
party.
Some Of these wcighty words Of truly great
men are probably new to II portion Of our rea'
ders- They ought 10 he "familiar in their
mouths as household words" but what can VIC
expect from the mass Of the public when their
leaders, the men 10 whom they are taught to
l,ok up fur instruction and guidance, especially
in history, deliberately lalsify and suppress
the 1eco1d7
learned ma1. ue has been President Of the
Harvard University, among his otaer honoIs'
He knows We may suppose, every material
fact in the history oe Washington. He hns
written, and has delivered sono hundreds Of
times an oration On tue character Of the fa-
1her Of his Country, one Of the most polished,
labored literary productions ever given to the
world. Washington .eiled freedom T. al his
slaves You'd any one believe that this cro1on-
ing act Of Washington's l!f< ~as utterly unno-
tieed BY Ar. Everett? Tho crownipg glory Of
The lie Of au Apostle Of Liberty, most men
would term il. The single blot on the es-
cutcteon Of al arologist for md perpetuator
m slavery, The recreant democrats" who are
seeking lis place, would have us believe.
Whichever be The true nane for the action
whereby Washington freed his s1aves, it WIS
one Of tie great representative points in his
life, aud should either bo hera!dcd to his honor
or admitted in deirac:ion from it BY every
honest man who pretends to speak Of lis char-
ac!er.
THIS is only siug.e illustration; but moth
ipg could more clearly sh w the changed mo-
ral ser1imeut Of the nation, since 1hs days OF
Washington, than the craven fear which im-
pelled Mr. Everett to wholly ignore the ssnt'-
ments a:.d the action Of that great man on the
subject cf slavery. It is part Of the object
OF L publ,canism TO bring back the nation 10
the recognition Ct Washington's sentiments
and example. What nobler purpose could in

The Infamous falsehood thus disposed Of, is
Of piece with the entire system of tactics
adopted by the Douglasltes. Their dogma OF
popular sovereignty, by which they hope to
secure tho votes Of Northern freemen, is Of
itself lie and cheat; all the arguments by
which they attempt to sustain it are founded
in deception and false;,ood; and their whole
opposition to Republicanism is made up Of
Misrepresentation and downright lying, Of
which latter The above is fair example. 1t
would seem that the leaders Of tha: faction Of
the Democracy either have very great con-
temp: for the intelligence CT the people, or that
they have resolved to put the old maxim that
"a lie we'll s,u:k to is as good as the trutb,''
to the test Of actual experiment. Never,
since lying was invented, has the world wit
messed such unblushing aud ucscrupulous
menaacity as choracterix:s the Dougasite
journals and spouters in this present canvass.
Let them drive ahead. If there is no law
against it, there is at least moral sense Of
the people which, sooner or later, will see that
justice and truth are vipdicated, and condign
punishment inflicted upon those who habltual-
lv Outrage both.

Difference In favor Of Democratic CountIes. s:2I
This would seem to be correct conclusion
from their premises, and if so. would form q
just foundation for acme hope far them. But
still, giving them this numb-r in addition TO
their actual vote in 1858. they could mt hare
overcome the Republican minority Of 3,s2l.
Now LET ua examine the hole they have left
left open really because they could not sion it.
In those Democratic counties. in which the vote
Of 1853 falls short Of TINT Of 1856. AZ shown in
the above tab1e, it will bs observed TINT there

Perhaps now, and here OUT argument begins
perhaps it was the Fillmore mn, WIN, not be-

thus made the aggregate vote Of '59 fall short
