of the nation advantageously, and turn the

MIR. Wheeler, the radical candidate for Tic
Vice Presidency, made a speech at ST. AIbau,
Vermont, yesterday. aud must have been
alarmed at what he alluded to as the effort u
the democrats to reduce the radical majority in
that State, for, casting aside the conservatism
that marked his report in the louisiana case,
and his letter Of acceptance, he adopted the
Fitzpatrick suggestion, as the only one likely
to succeed, and waved the bloody shirt as Wig
orousiy as Senator Merton could have done.
Our advices from the New England States re
port great changes in the political sentiment of
that section of the couutry, and Mr. Wheeler 5
speech is coufymatory Of them, aod should cheer
and inspirit the already bouyant hopes OF the
democracy, for it shows TO what an e2remlty
be has been reduced by his fears OF defeat.

Cruel to be Kind.

Two travellers, relates Lord Lennon
were journeying together over dreary
common, when one remarked to the
other that he trusted they should no,
fall in with any highwaymen, as he had
one hundred pounds secreted in his
boot. They had not gone many miles
before they came to Il most secluded
spot where four cross roads met, and q
gibbet at some little distance, with Il
skeleton body suspended in chains to it,
showed that II human creature had met
with an ignominious death As the two
travellers, who had met accidentally ut
an inn. passed the gibbet. three fierce
and rough looking men suddenly rushed
forward, determined. as they swore.

the money or the lives of the travellers

our money hid away in his boot. "
"Traitor!' exclaimed his companion.
while one of the gang. with blackeneu
face and cooked pistol, proceeded to
take off the boots of the terrified victim

first. "I'll give you an ounce of lead for

announced the searcher. Heres c
prize-a hundred pounds in Bank of
England notes. Securing the money,
the two travellers were blindfolded and
bound to a post. while the horses were
taken out of their gig and turned loose
on the common. 1t was nearly an hour
before they were released from their
position, during which period the ILL.,
used victim vented his anger pretty loud
ly. Upon reaching the next town,
where a deposition was made before a
magistrate, the worthy Justice com
mented i'll rather IL severe strain upon
the conduct of the base miscreant who
had acted so treacherons part. ''Hear
