rest Of the transaction. Il appeared that the
old man had lived long enough in the district,
but had not voted before for eleven years.
The Celtic clerk spoke as one having au-
thority and not as scribe. He addressed
people by their Christian names, and if Will
lam B. Astor had voted there would have
asked, 'Well William, where is it ye're af-
ther livin'." He was greatly incenssd be-
cause a Polish voter said his name was Pitz-
schzzy. And brother of the uhpronounce-

remarkable surname. " @

The voting in the First ward was not very

There was considerable feeling, but little ar

mate the considerations Of the duty which
might be expected to guide his conduct in
certain conjunetures arising from political
complications, as also in respect to certain
measures as to which his interlocutors con-
lessed some solicitude.
Now that this found its way to the public,
(as we must presume with the authority Of
its signers) it may not be improper for US to
say that the memorandum, at the time of its
composition, was confdentially communicat-
ed to the editors of this paper for our perusa',
that we might have the advantage of possess
ing an authoritive and authentic exposition
of the Presidents emancipation message of
March last, and of the motives under which
that message was penned, as also Of the views
of policy by which the President proposed
in the future to guide his steps under the diff
feulties and embarrassments to which he was
subjected in the matter of slavery and its
relations.
We need not say that this exposition of
the Presidents views and Of his contingent
purposes, as announced by him at the date,
confirmed US in the impressions we had deriv-
ed from the special message itself, without
this Presidential commentary, though the
circumstances under which we we're favored
with access. to the paper forbade US at the
time to make any use of its contents. Nor
should wehave thought it proper to make any
reference even to the existence of such
document if its publication in another quar-
ter had not now made it part of the history
Of the anomalous times though which our
country is passing. The reader, after per-
usal Of the paper in question, win readily un-
derstand that our surprise at the "new poll
ey" inaugurated under the Presidents enlau-
-cipation proclamation of last September 22d
was not diminished by our knowledge of the
views and considerations which he had so
frankly announced on the occasion Of the con
vers ton recited in the memorandum now
published.

THE PERnLs OF THE LIMERICK RACES.


THE English papers give appalling ACCOUNTS
Of the perils of asteeple chase in Ireland, one
of those old-laslioned break-neck pastiules

event Of the day, the horses. entered being.
with few exceptions, prize-winners. The
start, it is related, was correct and beautiful !;

the rider Captain MoCreight) got tremen-
dOus fall, which incopaeitated hirl from riding
during the remainder of the day At the
fourth fence Glendinane got dreadful fall !;
the rider, Mr.. Russell, fell also, and received,
we regret to state, serious injuries, such as are
believed to be dangerous. Glendinane's back
was broken. Bendemere fell, rolling over the
rider, Mr.. Falkner, who sustained spinal in

short duration. She was entered for the
Limerick Steeple chase Plate, which was run
for on the following day. Kate again led out
in dashing style. Aladdin was first at grief
and, after passing the stand for the second
round. the gallant little mare Kate Fisher,
when leading splendidIy, got dreadful fall

Congress by Mr.. Biucoln on the 9th Of March

may adopt the gradual abolishment of slavery,
will give to such State pecuniary aid, to be
used in its direction, to compensate it for the
inconvenience, public and private, produced

In this conversation, as will appear from

A CORRESPONDENT of an eastern paper writes
from Nashville:
For thepast two weeks the military authori-
ties have been very strict and, as no person
is permitted to leave the city who is not loyal,
necessarily vast amount OF questioning takes
place at the Provost Marshars office. A few
days ago a tall, dejected-loolling, middle-aged
man made his appearance before Col. Gillem
and solicited pass. The FIRST question put
by the Colonel was,
" Are you loyal man ?"
"Well," said the Notwithstanding sOici-
tor, I expect I am" Il

whether you are Union man or not?"
