away from her home, in Waterford, West
Va, with John Ash, colored servant in

to that city and found her living alone and
serving as domestic in private family
Mr.. Walker finally prevailed upon his
daughter TO return home, and later entered
suit in Cleveland to have the marriage con-
tract annulled. The girls affidavit states
that Ash, by reason of having had the care
of her when a child, had obtained great in
fuence over her, aud that by means of this
and by threats be accomplished her ruin.
Fearing that she was about TO become
mother, she consented to elope and be mar
ried, but Immediately after the ceremony
she left Ash, and has refused to live with
him since. Asb, in his answer, claimed
that their relations were sought by the girl
that the marriage was performed at her in
stance; that she is under dnress, and that
if left to follow her incinations she would

Blaine's Recent TRADE.

MANASSAS, Va, November 20, 1854.
To the editor Of the Alexandria Gazette:
In his recent speech at Augusta, Me-,
Mr.. Blaine truly says:
There cannot be political inequality
among the citizens Of free republic. Pa
triotism, selfrespeet, pride, protection for
person and safety for country all cry out
against it,
This is a great political truth, and it
would havo been better for Mr.. Blaine and
his party il he had discovered it sooner. 1t
was the unwise, unpatrioic and cruel de-
uial OF the Southern people of their rights
and equality in the union by the republican
party for so many years which has defeated
Mr.. Blaine-not by the South, but by the
intelligence and patriotism of the North,
for without them Mr.. Cleveland could not
possibly have been elected. The policy of
debasing and expressing one section of the
country in order to aggrandize another is
as fatal to free institutions or party as fire
is to powder. There can be no safety or
true glory but in justice.

machine is s. 900 ems per hour, and no pow

through either machine. Type can be dis.

PRESIDENT ELECT CLEVELAND says: The
whole country can be sure that the lawful
power and Jurisdiction Of the Executive
will be 80 exercised that the rights of all
citizens, white or black, under the Consti.
tuition and the law, will he preserved and
protected, and all the advantages to which
they are entitled by reason of their citizen
ship will be secured to them. There need
be no fear that either the democratic party
or its newly elected administration proposes
to Cypress or enslave any part of our popu
lation, nor to destroy the business interests
of the country" General Malone, on the
contrary, referring to the recent speech of
Mr.. Blaine, in which that incendiary tried,
by exciting the fears and arousing the an
ger of the negroes Of the South, to incite
them to acts of hostility against their white
employers, says it is "the speech of a patriot
and statesman" and that Mr.. Blaine sis
right; right in his charge; right in his de-
nunciation of the crime; right in his arraign
ment of the malefactors." Fortunately for
the country, the Generals ideas of patriot
ism and craftsmanship are entertained by
no reputable people, and by few of any
other sort.
