SIR: Permit me to say a word or
two bearing upon some remarks
made in the Eaton Register of this
week, purporting to be a passing
reply to a question put to the edi-
tor of the above paper, by the late
editor of the Press. am still at a
loss to comprehend the EDITORS ez'
act meaning relative to the kind Of
union of which he is an honest
and earnest advocate. The worthy
editor tells us that he is in favor of
"the union as the fathers intend
ed it should be-" Now this is just
the union of which all true Demo
Gratis are in favor. They desire
Lothing better in the shape of a
strong, powerful, and perpetual
Union than that established by the
immortal George Washington and
his noble band of faithful helpers
to the establishment Of political
truth. Does the editor Of the Reg.
lister intend to lead the American
public to believe that the founders
and fathers of the Constitution as
it now stands and Of the Union as
it was three years back, were a sci
of double-dealers and deceivers oil
the people, and thus proclaimed
one thing to the world while they
meant or intended quite another
thing? He will not dare to asser'
any such a~bsurdity. Butthe learn
ed editor, goes on to inform us, tina
the Democratic party have mad
the Union into such a machiner!
as he cannot embrace, or acquiesc'
in. When did the Democratic
party alter or change the char
acter of the Union constructs

RIOT AND DEATH IN OXFoRD.-On
Saturday evening last some Irish
lads and negro boys in Oxford got
into a quarrel, which ended in one
of the negro boys striking one of
the Irish lads on the head with a
large bowlder, crushing his skull
in such a manner as to render it
almost impossible for him to sur
vive, On hearing ofthis, the Irish
citizens of the place became much
excited and ~incensed, and they
threatened vengeance against the
colored people thereabout. About
tweve o'clock on Sunday night a
squad of Irishmen, among whom
were several members of a Zuave
company, which had been recruit
ed in and near Oxford, proceeded
to the residences of some of the
negroes and commenced stoning
and firing into them. Atthis time
one negro was shot dead and 9TH
ers wounded. The Oxford home
guards were aroused, in order to
quell the riotous proceedings, and
they proceeded in pursuit of the
Irish, and overtaking them, we are
informed, a regular pitched battle
took place, the Guards using guns,
the Irish having nothing but pis-
tolls. One of the Zouaves was in
stantly killed, and another so bad
ly wounded that it is thought he
can not recover. The one killed
and the wounded one were broth
ers, named Flanagan, and lived at
or near College Corner, some four
miles west of Oxford. Our infor.
mant states hat fears are enter
tanned that there will be still fur
