Hon. Hannibal Hsmlin and Hon. VIM
z. Frye addressed a large and euthusias
tic political meeting at Buckfeld, Thurs
day evening last, g. ID. Bisbee, Esq,
presiding. Although it was the mos
busy season Of the year, the farmers no
having finished haying. Warrcns large
Hall was well filed.
The speeches of Senator Hamlin and
Congressman Frye were OF high order
They did not descend to low personalities,
so often resorted to by political speakers,
but showed themselves high minded
gentlemen, worthy of tho confidence ol
the people. They briefly skeIched the
organization and purposes OF the Re-
publican psrty-the results already &C.
complished since the war. which have re-
suited in peace and prosperity to the IA.
ton, and the necessity of the continuance
OF the Republican party, that lasting
peace and settlement OF our internal
troubles may be obtained, showing con-
clusiyely that Gen. Grants administya-
ton has been favorable to the best in
tereSt Of the country, and that the dis
covery 50 recently made 10y Horace Gree
ley, Schurz. Trumbul Il Co. that the
mission OF the Republican party WAS
ended. only burst on their visions when
the President refused To bs machine in
their hands TO deal out patronage as they
often demanded, and one other class,
like Lyford OF Maine. who held good
Office eight years. and thought the adj
miniStration corrupt because he could not
hold it longer. Mr.. Hamlin spoke OF
Maine politics. where no reasonable man
claims the electoral vote for Greeley and
Brown-and now the democracy are try
ing TO stuff Kimbau down the throats of
Greeley republicans on tho strength of
mixed County tickets. He closed by
calling on all true Republicans to do all
in their power for Gov. Perham. Mr..
Frye and the regular local republican
ticket.
Mr. Frye's speech was chiefly confined
TO National matters that had TRANSFERRED
under his observ alton ut Washington.
He referred 10 the tact that Mr.. Sumner
called the President the great quarrcler.
while there are now eight Senator: in
Congress. that he (Sumner) is not on
speaking terms with, and compares him
10 the twelfth juryman, who thought the
eleven were obstinate fellows because
they did not agree with him.
The meeting was a decided success,
and awakened good feeling, as several
republicans who now intend TO yo:e Tor
Mr.. Greeley, announced the next morn.
ing that they should work for the regular
State and County republican ticket.
Gov. Psrham was present OH the plat
form. but declined to speak. owing to
lsteness of the hour. The meeting clos
ell with three rousing cheers for Grant
and Wilson and Gov. Perham.

Pensioning Rebels.

The oxford Register says that the
charge we published last week, that
Horace Greeley was on record in
favor of pensioning rebels, is false,
and has been contradicied 10y the New
York Tribune. The Tribune is rather
poor authority now. If false, why does
not M Greeley contradict ii, Deer his
oUn signature ? In Mr.. Grccley's South.
crn tour last year, when he was prospect.
ing for the Presidency, he uttered senti.
ments very similar, when he told the
rebels that he trusted The time would
soon come when the rebel soldier would
be regarded in tho same light as the
Union Soldier. Did he mean anything,
or was he only catering for their votes !?
1t looks now as il he had The Presidency
in view when he signed Jeff's bail bond.

Tho New York Independent closes y
leader upon the Baltimore nominations
in these words: democracy having
nominated Mr.. Greeley and constituting
nine.tenths of his popular support, il it
elects him will control him. This may
be set down rs certain. The use 10
which it proposes to put him during the
canvass is simply that OF stool.pigeon
to entrap Republican voters; and il the
plan succeeds. then il will have other
uses for him as democratic President.
II is The sheerest nonsense in the world
to suppose that, having gone so far as he
has already gone, he would not. if elect.
ed, be to all intenls and purposes Dem.
ocrat. 1t is not human nature, aud es-
pecially not in his nature. for him to be
otherwise. Let Republicans now defeat
the Democratic party in this, Its last move
by defeating Mr.. Greeley, and that will
be politically the ond of both. This is
the work to be done, and which, as we
believe, will be done next November

ley, some came to the conclusion that
the Mormon knew nothing about the
country, so they appointed one Of
their number leader, and broke off
from the party. The leader turned
due west; so with the people and the
wagons and the Aocks he travelled
three days, and then descended into
the broad valley, whose treacherous
mirage promised water. They reach
ed the centre, but only the white sand, /,
bounded by scorching peaks, met
their gaze. Around the valley they
wandered, and one by one the men
died and the painting hocks stretched
themselves in death under the hot
sun. The children crying for water,
died at their mothers breasts, and
with swollen tongues and burning Vi
tails, the mothers followed. Wagon
after wagon was abandoned. After a
weeks wandering, dozen survivors
found some water in the hollow of a
rock in the mountain. 1t lasted but
a short time, when all perished but
two, who escaped out of the valley
and followed the trail Of their former
companions. Eighty-seven families.
With hundreds Of animals, perished
here, and now, after % years, the
wagons stand stiN complete, the iron
work and tires are bright. and the
shrivelled skeletons lie side by side.

A Rattle snake Bite and a Ride
For Life.

The Burlington (kansas) Patriot
saws: Last week Mr.. S. T. Champlin,
of Pottawatomie township, living on
Long creek, was bitten by q rattle
snake on the right hand. He was
handling corn at the time, and as he
reached down. to the corn pile the
snake, which was coiled up unper-
ceived in the corn, struck him, his
fangs entering the finger next to the
little one, between the knuckle and
the middle joint.
AS soon as Mr.. Champlin found he
was bitten he mounted horse and
started for town, as no whisky or
other remedy was close at hand. His
hand and arm began to swell rapidly,
and the pain was intense. After RI
ding mile he stopped ata neighbors
and procured glass Of alcohol, which
he reduced with water and drank.
This probably saved Mr.. C's. life, as
he informs us that the torture from
the bite had become SO severe that
he coald with difficulty sit in the sad
die. He at once pulled for town as
fast as possible, and at Wolf creek he
found its bank full, but did not hest
tate to ride in. The swift current
swept him from his horse, but he
clung to his name with the h.nd
which was not disabled, and his horse
carried him across. On his arrival in
this city DR.. Douglass administered
powerful stimulants, using spirits free
fy and drenching the arm with iodine.
The arm was swollen very full, but
the Doctor soon had him out Of dan
ger. Mr.. Champlin was bitten at 2
o clock in the afternoon, and arrived
in Burlington about 3, so he had rid.
den nearly twelve miles in an hour:
The snake was killed, and measured
two feet and half in length, having
eight rattles.

Drives off with its splendor the darkness
And the rich hanging velvets in shadowy

Sweep gracefully down with their trim

And the mirrors Of silver take up and
In long lighted vistas, the wildering

Where the arches and columns are gor-

And the walls seem as pure as the soul

Walk down the aisle-see the rich and

In their pomp and their pride of their

Walk down in your patches and find II

Where he he punis,hes> right, whilst he
