The theory Of Senator Voorhees, that
the Democratic party was never Il free
trade party because Presidents Washing
ton, Jefferson and Madison had uttered
sentiments favoring the protection of
American industries, is absurd For eX-
ample, this rule would make the Repub-
lican party responsible for the utterances
of President Johnson-a responsibility
that would be promptly disowncd For
instance, the writer heard President
johnson, in addressing Baltimore dele
CATION at the White House, make bitter
attack on Gen. Grant. AS President
johnson attained the office through Re
publican yotes--and the assassination of
notwithstanding to Mr.. Voorhees, view
of it, the Republican party must have
been an anti-Grant party. But Mr..
Johnson simply expressed his own senti-

ther, who resides in ChriStiaua Hun
dred, near Wooddale, narrowly escaped
serious injury on Wednesday. He was
assisting Hamilton Graham to remove
his machinery from kaolin to the prop
erty he recently purchased, q short dis
tance south of the Brandywine Summit
Camp Meeting grounds, and after the
large boiler weighing several tons, had
been placed on the wagon, he took hold
of the shaft horse by the head and as
the team was about being tTrncd around,
the horse trod upon one of his feet,
throwing him down, when the front
wheels of the wagon passed over one
OF his legs, injuring it very badly, al
though no bones were broken. He was
taken up and conveyed to his home,
where his injuries were promptly at
tended to. Considering the great weight
of the boiler and wagon, it is surprising
that his limb had not been crushed, or
that he had not been killed outright.
Some years ago his father had equally
as narrow az escape, he having been
thrown down when the wheels Cf the
large timber wagon, laden with large
log. passed over one of his feet, iujuring
it badly, but not so seriously as might
have been supposed, as after few
weeks he was able to attend to his busl-
ness, and eventually recovered the full
use of his foot.
