The Derby lsRces-'s uspire Comes
ian Eleventh,

The Derby Races in England came of
on the 22d, Mr.. Ten Broeck's horse Um-
pire, came to the post behind ten compet-
itors. This will disappoint many in this
country who have bet heavily on Umpire,
but the New York Heyaid truly says, no
doubt:
"Nlr. Ten Brock did not take his hor-
sos to England for the purpose of vindi-
eating the reputation. of the United States
in an equine point of view. His business
is to win money on the turf, and he runs
his horse to suit his betting book. If he
could do better by making Umpire come
in eleventh than by getting him in first
than eleventh he would assuredly be, the
glory of the American eagle, the inyinci
bility of the star spangled banner, the re
collections of our Revolutionary heroes
patriots and sages, the Fourth of July
Eighth Of January and so on, to the con
trary Notwithstanding"
Thormamby was the winner. 1t is be
lieved the amount fmoney that changed
hands on Umpire reached million pounds
Ten Broeck lost nothing bnt gained nearl,
100000. London correspondents say h
was "calm as Summer" over his defeat

Ngr. Summers Speech.

Mr.. Sumner, since his recovery to per-
feet health and the resumption of his seat
in the United States Senate, has delivered
his second we believe, and most labored
speech. 1t is like all the speeches which
will be delivered in Congress during its
present session by Republican members,
designed to advance their party's interests
and elect their candidates. Its subject is,
of course, he wrongs and sufIcrings Of the
enslaved negro race in our otherwise free
and happy country, He says "the bar
barism of slavery appears first in the
character of slavery and secondly in the
character of slave masters"
We have not taken the pains to ascer-
tain the exact number of times the word
slave and its compounds and synonyms
occur in his speech q, low estimate, we
think, would he a thousand. From this
our readers can form 0 fair estimate of the
character of the speech. 1t is in keeping
with all the speeches of Republicans at
this time. 1t supports the irrepressible
conflict doctrines Of Seward and the ABB
olition doctrines of Garrison. 1t demon
strateS beyond the power oil caVlllhS that
the abolition of negro slavery, in all the
States Of the Union is the great object
and aim of the self-styci Republican
party, and that to accomplish it they are
willing to trample the Constitution our
fathers gave us in the dust, array State
against State in civil war, and incte ser
vile instructions in those States where
slavery of the negro race exists by law.
We are glad Mr. Sumner has spoken
so pointedly and so directly on the sub
| iect. 1t will remove all excuses which
lovers of our country and Of the sover
eighty of the States of our Confederation
might or can possibly have for voting Tho
Republican ticket or for supporting tha
sectional party.-NeW York NewS.

GD- The New York Evening Post, q
rabid Republican sheet, is protesting
against the Tariff Bill that lately passed
the House Of Congress. lie is especially
indignant at the rate placed on claret
wine. On this part Of the subject he
says:
"By the new tariff. ordinary claret is
taxed nearly a hundred per cent, rate
which will double the price Of the article
and deprive large numbers of our popula'
ton of tho benefits of its use. No one
pretends that claret comes into compcti-
ton with any home product; there is nc
branch of domestic industry to be protec.
ted by its exclusion from our ports; the
rate is so high that the revenue to be dc.
rived from its importation must necessar-
lily decrease; and, under these circum-
stances, it is difficult to discover the mo-

Indian News.

st. LOUIS, June 10.
The Santa Fe correspondent of the Republican
says the attack upon Fort Defiance by the Nava-
ioes was made from three different points, lust af
ter the setting of the moon, and while the garrison
was asleep. One party entered the Settlers stor
and carried ofeverything within rea ch. Anothe
party attacked Coral, but were finally driven off,
and followed up the mountain, till the troops were
compelled to halt in consequence of random fir
ing from the Fort, darkness being so that friend
couldn't be distinguished from foe. The Indi-
ans were estimated to be over a thousand strong.
Twelve were killed and four or five mortaly
wounded.
The Arizona correspondent of the Republican
says that Indian deprelatinns still continue in that
country, and much distress felt in consequence.

LiuCoIn's strong Points.
The Chicago Press and Tribune, an en-
thusiastic Lincoln paper, gives a descrp-
ton of cold Abe" which we venture to
say is one Of the silliest attempts to mag
Nifty small subject, which has occurred
since the days Of "tbe great Twalmy, the
renowned inventor Of the wonderful flood
gate smoothing iron" We quote few
sentences, by way of vindicating our
opinion:
ellis (Abraham's) arms are long, but not un.
reasonably so for one of his height; his lower
limbs are not dispropoitoned to his body"
"What man he must be, to be sure
His arms being within the bounds of rea-
son, and his "pins' adapted to his body.
No mention being made of his feet, we in
fer that they are not "unreasonably' y
small. His hair is described with suilic'
lent accuracy for the purposes of the cam.
paign, but rather too briefly to be entire
y satisfactory:
ellis hair is black, and though thin, is wiry."
Goodl Who can object to thin black
hair, provided it he "wiry." We are al.
so informed in the same article that Alb
raham's Crane" "tho' not muscular, is
wiry." Talk enough on that score. Now
contemplate his head:

The Democratic National Convention

The deepest interest is manifested by all
parties in its result, and increases as the
Convention approaches. The eyes of the
whole country are turned toward Balti-
more. and the nominee of that Conven-
.tion, whoever he may be, is looked upon
by all thinking, well-informed men
as the next President of the United States.
1t is not our purpose now to predict VINO
will be selected as the nominee Tor the
Presidency, but to counsel harmonious
action in order that the Democracy pre-
sent united and unbroken front to the
enemies of the country. We believe that
harmony will prevail at Baltimore and
that good nomination will be made
one that will convince Old Abe Lincoln
himself that sven rail splitting is far more
profitable than running for President
The opponents Of the Democracy are
praying that the elements Of discord may
again be let loose in the Convention, and
that cordial action may be prevented

contingency their hopes of success hav
no foundation. 1t is now the genera
impression however, that wisdom anc

of course, will lead us to complete victor.

without the knowledge of Mr.. Sumner, that the
latter's room was improperly invaded, and that
threats had been made against his life The
Mayor promptly investigated the matter and pro-

was and the substance of the language he en-
ployed towardt Mr. Sumner Upon ascertaining
the fact that the offender committed the act while
in a state Of beastly intoxicaton and did not in
tend any injury to Mr.. Sumner and regretted the
act, Mr.. Barrett accompanied the gentleman. who
gave his name as Capt. Henry to Mr.. Summers

A GIRL TIED TO A Cows TAIL AND
DRAGGED TO DEATHl-A terrible accident
occurred in the town of Delhi, Delaware
county,a week ago yesterday, which result
ed in the death of little girl seven years
old. The parties to the sad occurrence
were William Scott, lad II years old,
aud his halfsiSter, Elizabeth Dolby, the
victim. The boy had been sent to take
the cows to pasture, the little girl accom-
panying him. lie had with him piece
of rope with which he was to bring back
some hay. On his way he playfully tied
one end of the rope around the body of his
sister, and the other end to the cows tail
When the COW had proceeded a short dis
tance in this way, followed by the girl,
the latter stumbled and fell, which SC
frightened the COW that she ran off at flu
gious rate, dragging the poor girl alter
her. After running SOME distance the
girls head struck a solid rock, crushing
in the skull, and at the same time the cows
tail pulled out, so great was the force o
the resistanccl The girl was also badly
cut around the face, neck, and head. Sh,
was taken up by the boy aud carried
home, where she breathed hut two o
three times before expiring. The boy il
said to be rather deficient in intellect
and it is supposed that he did not realizt
the imminent danger in which his siSte
was placed by his mischievous conduct.

why Lincoln was Nominated.

GEoRGE A. CoFFEy, one of the Pennsyl-
vania delegates to the Chicago Conven-
ton, on his return to Philadelphia, on
giving an account Of the Convention,
said:
"Private consultations were held by the
delegates from Pennsylvania, New der
sey, Illinois and Indiana, and an inter
change Of opinion revealed this fact that
in order to defeat the nomination of Mr.
Seward, these four States should rally
upon Lincoln"
SO the nomination of ABE was not be-
cause of honesty or his rail, but for the
purpose of defeating SEWARD.

GO IL. ROnts.

The stationary bill of'the members OF
Congress comprise some strange things
which are generally kept profound Sc
cret from constituents. "Honest Old
Abe" appears to have got the hang of it,
in his short Congressional life, as the fol-
lowing article from the Chicago Times
will show:
When Lincoln went TO Congress, he
thought he would make shine; fashiona-
BILE boots were high, even at figure rath-
er above the Springfield rates. After
studying the case Tor long time, he work
ed out how to supply himself with boots,
and yet not pay for them out of his pock-
ct. lie first thought OF delivering lee
ture, but no one could be found who would
come down with the $500. He then
thought of making speeches and charging
20 cents head Just as he did recently in
New England, but he could not get per-
sons to come to hear him. In this eX-
tremity his futile genius suggested that
he would buy the boots and have them
paid for out Of the public money. He
therefore ordered pair at eight dollars
they were sent up, by Abe's orders, to The
stationary clerk at the capital, and ABB
drew them as stationery. At the mex
session he drew another pair of boots il
the same manner--they being paid fol
out of the public money. When he wa
leaving for homc--quitting Congress for
ever-he ordered an extra fine pair al
NINE DOLLARS, and they were boxed M
with his books and franked to "lIon. Alb
raham Lincoln, Springfield, Illinois"
The record Of this boot transaction
stands thus on the books of the Clerk o
the House of Representatives and in hi
vouchers in the treasury at Washington
"Ilon. Abraham Lincoln:
Three pairs of Boots. .............S S25."
The idea that "this government canno
permanently endure half free and hal
slave" when members of Congress ca
provide themselves with boots--NINE Dol
LAR BooTs---at the expense Of the people
is preposterous. just think Of "lion
est Abe" having his boots sent up to th
capital to be drawn out by him as "sta
tioncry." Just think of the simplicity q
the honest man, who taxed the people t
pay for his boots when he was DRAWN
eight dollars per day and mileage.
Col. Lane, of Indiana, when speakin
Of Lincoln in the Republican convention
closed his remarks by saying:
"Thilty years ago you might have see
near the boundary line between Indian
and Illinois, Abe Lincoln leading bare
footed oxen to the pasture and following
them with the plow."
Lincoln's early experience with "bare
footed oxen" might have given him som
strange notions about boots; but certai
, it is, that the first moment he got to Cor
gress he provided himself at the publ
expense, with the best boots he could OF
tain"
