breckenridge and Lane Accept-SenatOr
Davis EuIOEy-Gen. Lane and Yancey
Speak.
WASHINGTON, June pa large body accompanied
by band of music proceeded tonight to the resi-
dence of Mr.. Breckenridge, and having serenaded
him, he, in response to repeated calls, appeared,
saying he felt deeply this manifestation of friendly
regard, and accepted it as an approval of the pro-
ceedings at Baltimore, by which the National DEM
ocratic Convention presented his name and that of
his gallant and hOnored FRIEND Gen Lane, for Pres
ident and Vice President of the United States.
Senator Davis followed in an eloquent strain on
the personal and public character of Breckenridge
and Lane. The Democracy was not the party which
seeks for s2Oils or rests itself upon the claims of
men When Mr.. Van Buren, proved untrue they
cast him off as a diseased member, and, when at a
more recent period another Democrat proved racre-
ant it remained for the party, faithful to its in
stincs to separate him also from the body He vim
Dictated the Convention which nominated Mr.. Brock
inridge. Let spoilsmen go where inclination leads
them. The Democracy honor Mr. Buchanan for all
he has done, and cast the complaints of Oficessek
ers to the winds: Laughter. he spoke of the
Constitution States rights justice, and fraternity
the principles under which Breckenridge and Lane
will be elected. [Applause.l
Messrs Toombs and Hallett followed, the latter
insisting as the Trainer of the Cincinnati platform
that there is nothing there in the least cOuntenan
cling suuatter sOVereignty-the WilmOt PrOVisO hav-
ing been removed from Congress, it was adopted
with view of keeping slavery out OF the Terrific
ries and to gain Abolition votes under spurious
Democracy.
Mr. Hogan of Kentucky, made some humorous
remarks The procession proceeded to Browns
Hotel, where an immense crowd had previously
gathered.
Gen. Lane, after the performance of an air, ap-
peared and rendered his thanks to the assembly for
the manifestation of their kindness. He was proud
of the nominee of the Baltimore Convention. He
was a man whom he had long known on the battle
field and in the councils of the nation, and he felt
deeply honored at being placed on the same ticket
with him. He [Lanel accepted the nomination Of
the National Democracy assembled at Baltimore,
and with them believed in the equality and right OF
the States under the Constitution.
Mr.. Yancey followed saying that the cOuHtry was
in crisis from which it is the duty Of the Democ-
racy to retrieve it. He spoke at considerable length,
and was frequently applauded. The demonstration
continued beyond midnight.
The Special Committee, to report next session
on the Presidents further protest communicated to-
day against the CovOde Committee, consists of
Messsrs. Stanton, Curry, Adams, Of Mass, Sedge-
wick and Pryor

T" VINO is TO HAVE THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
AND THE PuBLIc BUILDNGsP' --The question is
frequently propounded, Z" In case of the dis
solution of the Union, who is to have the Dis
tsict of Columbia and the public buildings,
tho North or the South ~ In reply to this
inquiry we say that if the Union is dissolved,
the District of Columbia as it now exists wiH
be he property of The State Of Maryland.
- The District of Columbia as it originally
existed was the joint property of Maryland
and Virginia. 1t was coded by these States
TO the General Government for a specific pur-
pose-to be the property and capitol of the
United States. That portion of the District
which belonged to Virginia has been retroce-
ded TO Virginia, and all that now remains is
that portion which formerly belonged TO Ma
ryland. If, then, the Union is dissolved, the
object Of the grant can no longer he carried
into etfect-the District ceases to be the capi-
tol of the Union, and by well known and
universally acknowledged principle of law
the property reverts to the original grantor
We should like the Northern fanatics who are
fast driving the Union to dissolution to think
of this matter and to remember that if the
Union is dissolved they will have no right TO
the public buildings at Washington, which
will by the act of dissolution become the ex-
elusive property of the State of Maryland.

TERRIBLE TRAGEDy.-The Fort Wayne (Ind.
Times says that a most terrible and fatal acct
dent, with consequences still more terrible,
secured in Adams county the other day
The story is at once the briciest and most aw-
full we have read of in many year. A wo-
man about TO churn butter threw some boil
ing water in the churn, into which one Of the
children had, unDotced by the mother, plac-
ell an infant, and it was instantly scalded to
death. In her frenzy the mother seized a
chair and inflicted death blow upon the lit
tie girl After realizing what she had done
she threw herself into the well and was
drowned.
