A day or two after, the two accomplices o!
the negro were hanged on the same tree, and

at least talk about burning negroes at the South.

Oliver W. Holmes, physician, philosopher,

mittee whose duty It was to notify John q. Fe e
and his party several months since to leave
Madison county, having received information
that one of Fees party, man by the name Of
Hanson had returned, deemed il their duty to
proceed 10 Befea, TO notify him again to leave
Accordingly, on Monday the Committee pro-
ceeded to Berea to discharge their duty Upon
their arrival they we're informed that Hanson
had left for Rockcast!e whittier they immedi-
ately bent their course. lie was not, how
ever, to be found there, and they started to
return to Richmond On their way, they met
party Of men, some twenty-five in number,
armed with rifles, who fred upon them, wound
ing one Of their party by the name of KaVan-
augh. The attacking party was headed by q
man bY the name of Haley After the Com
mittee retreated, Haley and his men retired to
an oldlog house, which, 1t was said, was guarded
by some two hundred rifles. In this state Of
the case, the messenger was dispatched to this
city for assistance In the way of arms and am
mnn,t ton.
On the reception Of the letter 1t was thought
advisable that the Lexington Rifles, with piece
Of artillery, should at once proceed TO Rich
mond, and prepaFations 70 that effect were
made. 1t was afterwards concluded to await
further intelligence, and the movement was
abandoned. The cannon, however, was for
Warded.
The above is anything but creditable to the
''chivalry," but is in keeping with the pro-
slavery despotism which drove out the peace
full and law abiding Bereans in the dead ol
winter, despoiling .hem of their rights, homes
and property. Gov. Magofin also spurned
their appeal to the State authorities for protee
ton, and gave his sanction to mob law il
dealing with Free State citizens. By his course
the Executive of Kentucky invited just suct
proceedings as the above, disgraceful as they
are to civilized and prOfessingly christian com
monwealth.
By despatch from Louisville of March 2sth, i
is stated that the Hanson matter had been set
tied. Nobody was much hurt, and the excite
ment had entirely subsided. Whether Hanson
remains or was driven out again, is not men
toned.

senator wndo's spoech-The Presidency,


The late speech OF Senator Wade is very
warmly commended by the press and people
all over the North and West, and the st. Louis
Democrat iu publishing it not only speaks of
the speech as trenchant and comprehensive,
but adds
For bold utterance and clear statement,
there is no political celebrity of the day more
distinguished than the Ohio Senator. In the
speech in question, he not only expresses the
views of the Republican party on the question
of slavery in the Territories, but avows the
purposes which it entertains on that subject
If others can boast Of being the chief repre-
sentatives of that party in an intellectual sense
he is eminently entitled to be considered the
representative of its Willis power of voli-
ton, and its frmness Of resolution. A slave
lde Immediately for the Territories is the prop
ositiOn involved in the resolutions, which were
under discussion, and it requires no prophet to
foretell that National Democratic victory in
the approaching Presidential election would
be the herald of that odious measure We
commend the speech to all who require light
on this topic.
A letter from an observer at WasL ington TO
the Pittsburgh Journal dated March 18th, aftel
speaking of Mr.. Seward as standing at the head
of the Republican party and that the chances
favor his nomination, remarks:
Fer the last few weeks new name had been
very much talked Of in connection with the Re.
publican nomination for President It is that
of old Ben. Wade, the Senator from Ohio He
tco, has the manly elements fitting him for the
crisis. For old fashioned, straightforward in.
tegrity; for strong, rude eloquence; for firm.
ness of will, determination of purpose and
down right courage, not to be cosxed or whee-
died, or bullied from his course, he cannot be
too strongly commended The same elements
of cha, acter, so signaIly distinguishing General
Jackson, are found in Mr.. Wade, whilst he has
vastly more learning and accomplishments as
a statesman. He would make great Presi
dent. In the conversational circle Of Presiden,
tial speculation, he has many warm friends
and his claims loom up. Stranger events have
come to pass, than would be the election ot
