A rural looking lady and gentleman of Ster-
ling, Iayuea County, n. z, recently called
upon one OF the Justices OF the Peace and
expressed a wish to be married. The pai,
were made man and wife. The next morn
ing they Ieappeared, and each in turn desired
that the proceedings might be anuulled The
lady was particularly urgent. She charged
that she had been entrapped into marry ing
the man who stood beside her by piece of
unparalleled deception. She had been cor
responding with her cousin IN I)wa, whom
see had not seen since she was chlld' ana
during the correspondence her relative hai
wooed and won her affections. lie wrote her
that he vas coming IN December to claim her
hand and take her to his home IN the est
On Monday last the swain 10 whom she was
married made his appearance, claimed to be
her cousin, said he could not wait until De-
cember, &c On the str myth of these repre-.
sensations she had reluctantly consented to
wed.
She had since learned that the man whom
she had married was not her cousin, but
wretch who had secured a wife by base de-
ception. The man acknowledged his cuipabil
ity, but pleaded in eXtenuation that the Iowa
cousin had read him the letters OF his intend
ed; that these had influenced hun to do as
he had dtne. Ills conscience smote him so
grievously since he accomplishment of his
treachery, that he made a tull confession to
the lady he had shametully wropeed. He had
hpped to reconcile her to the fraud, but she
would not. de was now willing to make the
only amends he knew OF, viz, have the mar
riage contract annued.
The magistrate suggested he had not the
power to u marry them. He advised that, as
matters had progressed thus lar, 1t would be
better Tor the lady to make the best OF bad
bargain, and accept the situation After a
Sood deal OF persuasion on the part OF the
Drlde8roou', the lady fnall' decided to accept
the advice OF the magistrate, on the assurance
that the said bridegroom would snake it all
right with the genuine cousin way off In
Iowa. Upon this beppy settlement the lady
dried her eyes, and The happy pair departed.

Democracy is self damned BY the virtual
confession of one half its members that the
party furnishes no man fit to be made cam
didate for the Presidency. In deserting their
own ranks, and chssiug down some malcon>
tent Of the Republican party, they plainly
show that they have NO man Of their own who
has the talents or the record to permit them to
hope that he can lead them to victory. If this
10 not An acknowledgment Of the superiority
Of the Republican party, and confession Of
their own inferiority, we can imagine no way
that the fact can be admitted.
And again, look at large and influential
portion Of the party turning square about and
expressing . willingness, aye, even an ankle
ty, to take the doctrine Of negro suffrage upin
their arms and bapti1s it ~ their own true
faith. They would instantly, for the cake Of
. hope Of success, transform the ''loathsome
niger" into manly voter. And not only
are the Eastern nabobs of Democracy anxious
to steal away this flag of Republicanism, but
they are also expressing desire to confscate
from US our snti-repudiation faith.

can party to get IN available candidate for
the president and when it swallows the negro
and honors the national credit, what will it
