SINGULAR ISSUE OF WEDDING Ger
EMoNY.-A novel illustration of the we'll
known aphorism. There's many slip
between the cup and the lip" occurred, in
Antrim, Ireland, lately. The clergyman
in the course of the service, asked if any
present knew of any just cause or imped-
iment why the aspirants for matrimony be-
fore him should not be joined in that holy
estate. The query was responded to by
young gentleman in the body of the
church, who protested that, he had just
reason to forbid the bans and requested
permission to put question to the bride.
This was accorded him, and in manly
voice he asked her if she had not, some
two years since, pledged her troth to him.
The fair .fancee hung her head and an
swered. Yes and while her intended
husband, in concert with the entire assem-
blage, gazed in utter bewilderment on the
scene, the tickle fair one put climax to
the proceedings by adding, Sand ! will
keep my word !" Instantly seizing her
former lover by the arm, she swept with
him in majesty from the church, and en-,
terlng one Of the carriages which had
driven the party to the sacred edihce'
drove off at locomotive speed with her re-
covered swain to the residence Of her
mother, leaving the poor fellow in the
church to ruminate over the INCONSISTENCY
of tickle woman. .a.nrF 90. Fl

that he would not 90 with him; that he had got
a pistol in his breast. Saw no more till night
The prisoner and his wife were then sitting on
the piazza. Fenton came up, and | called him 20
me to have a smoke Mrs Murphy came out
and told him he must get a fresh boarding
place. He said he wouldn't. She repeated
that he must leave. lie said "If [ DO,

called him a son Of a bitch. Both got up amt
rushed toward each other. The prisoner went
to the south end Of the piazza, AMI said TO Fen
ton ''staud back or III shoot you" They were
about two feet apart when the shot was fired.
After Fenton WIS shot he made toward respln-
dent as though to catch him. Mcdonald went
into the house and Fenton followed him back 70
the door. Mcdonald was taken into the street
and kept there TIL the Sheriff came. Fenton had
been drinking some.
Some men tried 10 pick a quarrel with me
before the ,ho0tinE. I was at Kelly's with pri--
Oner and men came AMI called some one a British
deserter; some men came afterwards 10 Murphy
and were going TO str Ike me. told themI was not

that FentOn was a deserter. I have been in the

The prisoner then shot him. That is al witness
saw. Don't know what the quarrel was about
but supposed that the soldier was a good Union
man, and the other a d. copperbead. The
prisoner told the other he did not want anything
to DO with him. and did not want % fight.
This witness gave he testimony in a
decidedly r~esolute and sllubrious manner. The
Constable calling the spectators 10 order after
some unnecessary noise, was himself promptly
called to order by the witness, who informed the
audience that if Mr.. Huntington was an officer.

Gentlemen;
have learned, with some sur
prise. that the Union Caucus on Saturday night
selected me as q suitable candidate to represent
the Town Of Burlington in the next Legislature.
| say with Iurpriis, because such slight and so
little intimation had been given me Of any such
intent, that l had not regarded myself as expos
ed, in the least to such nomination. 1t is true,
that l have ever held myself ready to discharge
to the extent of my ability, without fear or favor
Of any man or clique, any public duty, however
onerous, to which my fellow citizens might as
sign mt Of their own choice. But | did not sup
pose they could, just now, either in justice to
myself, or to the interests Of the Town, assign to
me any additional public duty; and | therefore
respectfully. but peremptOrily decline the NOM
nation.
Permit me to say, gentlemen, that | have
never cultivated the art Of ooncealing my opin-
ions, and while l do not regard the expression Of
them as important, l desire to state, in order to
remove any misApprchensions, that l honestly
believe that corruption in office and the love Of
public plumber are doing more to destroy the
Administration and the Government, than the
rebels can do by force Of arms; and that that
class Of active &" patriots who love the Govern
ment 50 well that they want to eat it up, is quite
too large. If there is no other way to stay and
check this shameful corruption in Office and con-
tracts, it il, easy to foresee that many loyal men
will be ready, as a last resort, to welcome a
change in the Administration
As to the d" MAine-lsu," so called, l hAv. al
ways held that it was questionable in right and
law, and an sbsurdity in legislation-resulting
practically in more evil than good; but tha,
the law having been adopted. should be tried to
the satisfaction of the friend. OF Temperance. and
be repealed by them when they get ready.
desire. gentlemen. that you make public the
fact that I decline the nomination, and that |
duly appreciate in this as on many other occA-
sions, the kindness Of ny fellow citizens and the
honor conferred upon me.
Very Respectfully.

this great loyal Union majority on the Sth
Of November next, and bring in it's place one
in favor Of any ticket-no matter what its
name be-which tie people knoD every dis
corning rebel leader looks to, as his only
ground Of hope, either that the independ-
ence of the Confederacy will be acknow-
edged, and the war terminated with glory
and honor to him and his rebel associates,
and everlasting disgrace to the United States
Or If that fail, that such concessions Of
political power will be made to the rebel
States, such offers of pardon TOR their own
crimes, and Of future restoration to places of
honor and profit, as shall satisfy even the
chielest Of traitors and rebels themselves to
abandon their hopeless purposes? 1t does
not meet the case to say, there is an awful
amount Of fault-fndlng, even among those
who have stood by the Administration thus
far that many are frightened that its op-
ponents are terribly IN earnest. 1t will be
no question for each Union voter when the
day comes, whether he would not have prefer
red some other Union nominee TO Abraham
Lincoln, or even whether in mis- opinion
some one else would not have been a stronger
candidate. The simple question will be,
which Of these tirO tickets shall | vote for?
Shall l show my love for the national unity
and honor, my respect for the memory of the
noble dead who have shed their blood, my
sympathy with every one who has suffered in
health or limb IL its cause, my willingness
70 spend and be spent in the cause of lib
erty and justice, my hatred of those who
have sought the nations life at home. and
Of those abroad who have cheered on the
work and put arm into the hands of traitors
and assas-ins-or shall | vote with those who
throw despite on all who have suffered tor
their country, who directly or Indirect
ly aiding the rebel cause, and who would
cbeeriuliy sell the glorious birth-right Of a
great and noble nation-the hope Of every
aspirant for freedom and liberty in the world
for tic dirty mess of pot'agc which a re-
turn to the chief places Of State, even
with fragrant traitors in their company,
would give them? That is the PLAIN issue.
The people viii see it, and they will vote for
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
