If be. did not expect to have been killed.on the
stfot. If he had killed the,President, ho re*
plied he did not; and .that he had no doubt
but that ho would have been protected by the
spectators. ‘Ho was frequently questioned
whether he had any friends present, from whom
ho expected protection* To this he replied,
that he never had mentioned his intention, to
nnvono, and that ho opp in particular know
his design; but that ho presumed it was gen*
orally known that lie intended to put (he Pres*
jdent out of the way. 110 further slated, that
when tho President arrived at the door, near
which he stood, finding him supported on the
left by 'Mr. Woodbury, and observing many
persons in his rear, and being himself rather
to tho right of tho President, m order to avoid
wounding Mr. Woodhury.and those in the
roar,*ho stepped a little to,bis own right, so
that should the ball pass through the body of
the President, it would be received by the door
frame, or stone wall. On being asked if he
felt no' trepidation during tho attempt, he re
plied, not the slightest, until he found that the
second pistol had missed fire. Then observing
that the ; President was advancing upon him,
with an . uplifted cane, that it con
tained a .’sword, which might have been thrust
through him before ho could have bccn.prolec
ted by the crowd. And When interrogated as
to the motive which-induced him to attempt
the assassination of the President, ho replied:
that he bad been told that the President had
caused his loss of ocupntion, and the conse
quent want of money, tntd he believed that- to
put bijn out of tlm way was the only remedy
for Ibis evil; but to .the interrogatory, who
(old you tins? ho could not identify any one, ;
but that his brother-in-law, Mr.
Redfern. told him Ih&t Jio would have no more
business, because Ijo was opposed to the Presi
dent, and ho believed Redfern to be in league’
with thb President against him. Again, being
auctioned whether he had often attended the
cbalcfl in Congress during the present session, :
and whether they had influenced him in making
this attack on the person of tho. President, he
replied that he had frequently attended the dis
cussions in both branches of Congress, but that
theyf Had in no degree influenced his action.

asked if he knew any member of either House’

never spoke to One in his life, or they to him.

bcing.a-sfccd what bank, replied tho Bank-of
tho.Unifcd States. On Hein# aSked if he knew
•the President, Directors, or nnybT the officers
of the bank, or had ever held any intercourse
with them, or knew, how he could get money
out of the bank, be replied no, that he slightly
knew Mr.-Smilh only.
- On being asked With, respect to the speeches
which be bad beard in Congress, and’whether,
bo was*particularly pleased with those of
Messrs. Calhoun, Clay and’TVcbslcr, he replied
that ho wasi Wcause they were’’on his side.—
lie was then asked if he was well pleased with
the speeches of Col. Benton line] Judge While?
Ho said he was, and thought Colonel Benton
talented
When asked if ha was friendly to General
Jackson, he replied, no. Why not ? lie an
swered, because he was a, tyrant. Who told
you he wap a tyrant ? He answered, it was n
common talk with the people, and that he had
read it in all the papers. lie was asked if he
could name any one who bad (old him so? He
replied, no. lie was asked if he ever threaten
ed to shoot Mr. Clay or Webster, or Mr. Cal
houn, or .whether he would shoot them if ho
had an opportunity ? lie replied, no. *lVhcn
asked if ho would thoot Mr. Van Huron ? lie
replied, no. that ho once mqt with Mr. Van
Huron in the rotunda, and told him he was in
want of money, and must have it, and if he did
not got it he (Mr. Van Huren) or General Jack
son must fall. Uo was asked if any person
was present during* the conversation? lie re
plied that there were several present, and when
asked if ho recollected ono of them, he replied
that he did not. When asked if anyone ad
vised him to shoot General Jackson, or say
that it ought to ho done? , lie replied, I do not
like to say. On being pressed on this point, he
said no ono in particular had advised him.
lie further stated that, believing tho Presi
dent to bo (he source of all Ins difficulties, he
was still fixed to Ins purpose to kill him, and
If his successor pursued the same course, to
put him out of the way also—and declared
that no power in tins country could punish
him for having done so. because U would bo
resisted by the powers of Europe, ns well os of
tins country, lie also stated that ho hnd been
Jong in correspondence with the powers of Eu
rope, and that his family hnd been wrongfully
deprived of the crown of England, and that ho
should yet live to retain it—and that ho con
sidered tho President of tho United States no
thing more limn his clerk. • .
now thtok proper to add that- the
yojang man appears perfectly tranquil and un
concerned os to the final result, - and seems to
anticipate no'punishment for what lie has done.
Tho above contains tho leading and literally

The Effects op Lightning on Epidemics.
—Prof. Webster, of Portsmouth, Va., has to
.ken to task tho “Sage” •of Brooklyn Heights
for his theory rhat the greatest mortality exis
ted during tho pestilence in New Orleans.when
the thunder and lightning was most severed In I
a note to the editor of the Portsmouth Tran
script, he thus presents the fact:
‘•The writer of this was in Portsmouth until
the 30lh of August, and he is confident that
there wns not a flash Of lightning seen or peal’
of thunder heard during that month, and very
little during July, June and May. The most
fatal day in August was the 26th: when the
wipd changed from .S. W. to E. N. E.,and
continued in that quarter about five days, tho
barometer being unusually low. Gn the 28th
there was rf Cool .drizzling rain, but no thun
der. It is well known that where thO'cholcra
has appeared tho electrical tensions of tho at
mosphere has been lower Ilian usual, and from
good authority reassert that the disease has
disappeared where the electricity of tho air has
been restored to its ordinary condition.
That the electrical character of the. air does
greatly influence various forms of pestilence,
there can.bo no doubt, and the I have
been ablc'lo; collect cause me to bail with joy--
ous emotions every, flash of livid lightning, be-
Ilcvifiglt-to be indicative of ..the continued
hcaltlffcf , our now favored community. You,
Mr. Editor, nnd others who werO present dur
ing the entire season of the epidemic, must
have observed the unusual unfrcquency oftbun

Amid all the dangers to which. children aro

dy. "Aunt Kate," |n the New York Observer,
gives us (ho best prcrcnbVo of our young ones

It is no more or less than simple. Obedience,
exacted from earliest jpidhood, and mingled
with a greater or less degree of tenderness, as
the nature and education of the parent dic
tates. This, whether enforced by the "rod
and rcprool," or by other means, provided the
end is gained, is a sure life-jrrcscrveT against
most of the ordinary accidents of childhood.
Why will not mothers try it ? Not oiler the

in trifles, among the children of your care, will
make you rest easily upon your pillow, and
give hours of liberty and enjoyment while they
arc kept from danger and accident. They can
be allowed pcivilegs which must be entirely

are sure they will keep within the prescribed
limits; and what is more than all, they can Iks

INDIAN TRADITIONS IN niAWATHji; ’ '
At time, when oar citizens nro on tho
qui vive in regard to (ho reading ol “Hia
watha," it tnay omisato state, a few
facts relative to this distinguished character.
Tho more appropfiat6 because’ his’ residence
oml tho scone of many of hm adventures-were
in our own country. : ;
Many hundred moons ago, Hiawatha
made his appearance to d coupTo of hunters, in
ms white canoe, on ,tho great Idko Ontario,
lie landed At Oswego', dbd was at dhcb taken
into favor by the Indians then Hying dt Oswego
and along the shores ot tlio Scnoqv 'river: Ho
was everywhere received os a mysterious per
sonage of divine origin, possessed of miracu
uloua powers. Ho traversed tho country from
Onondago westward, cleared -tho streams of all
obstructions, so that canoes could pass- freely
everywhere, tjlablishcd good fishing and hun
ting grouudSj taught tho people the art of buil
ding cabins, introduced the culture of various
plants lOr the more comfortable mibsiStanco of
the-red race, destroying terrible monsters'which
had long been tho dread of tho tribes, and to
their great.astonishmcnt, wrought many mira
cles, oil for their benefit.
NO. 4.
Those wondrous talcs are yet related to tho
credulous and confiding, at the council fires of
the Onondngos, by -the gray-haired and wrin
kled relies of an nnejent race,- remarkable for
its sagacity and power,-
While Hiawatha and his companions Wcr6
ascending the Seneca river’, they encountered
two enormous feathered monsters resembling ca
sh's which forages had prevented llic free passage
of tlio river. One of these monsters .warf sta
tioned on one bank, and its companions oa ih6
other opposite. If any canoe was seen-ap
proaching, these watchful guardians settled
down so os to be concealed from view, and
whenever the unwary voydger eftrno that way
they rose, stretched-oat Ihett long necks and
beaks otar the stream,* picked upethcir-victims
with impunity, and devoured thcln at leisure.
They became a terror to all, and the naviga
tion of tho river was abandoned, except by an
occasional adventurer, who was sure to pay for
his temerity by a sacrifice of his lifo; Hia
watha.bccaftioawaro of tho position and hab
its of these scourges of mankind, nod at onco
resolved to destroy them. Having all things
in readiness, ho approached the spot, and as
they reared their frightful heads over him, ,ho
laid about most dexterously bis war club, and
so belabored them that they wore finally slaiq.
Tho battle was severe but Hiawatha was vic
torious ; not however, without somo damage
to his canoe, and several cuts and bruises to ms
person. Tho wild fowl which had long been
held in duress by these monsters werenow lib
erated, and scattered themselves in all direc
tions for the benefit and sustenance of tho peo
ple. The locality of this adventure' Was near
where the Cayuga marshes tcrminalc-and from.
tho Seneca river below.
The counlry-about Jamcsville was, at a Unto,
infested will) reputed witches, who, upon ca
price of whim, working upon the fears or cre
dulity of tho Indians, that certain individuals
must be exercised, the evil spirit must bg, cast
out of them, or they must be slain. These de
mons-held their mighty orgies in n subterrane
an vault* of a labyrinlhian cavern near by,
where, unknown mid unobserved to all but Cue
initialed, they carried on their nefarious
schemes, so that it became, unsafe for any to
incur the displeasure of thisnoctnral conclave.
Hundreds are reported to have lost their Jives
xhoiifch the machinations of these misguided
creatures. In fact at one time it was thought
utter extermination would ensue.
At this juncture Hiawatha catuc to their re
lief sought out the hiding places of these delu
ded beings, detected the guilty, exposed all the
offending ones anu tho wickedness of their
schemes, restored harmony, and established a
new and happy order of things.
On bis return from his voyage to llio Wes
teniXakos, Hiawatha came to the neighbor
hood of. Cross Lake, and there, upon represen
tation made to him, found that a wicked en
chantress lived 5n llic vicinity, named Ooauncc,
whoso destruction was deemed desirable to en
sure tho. liappincss and prosperity' of, the na
tions. Hu indued one of his companions with
supernatural power; to proceed t 6 the vile char
nel-house'of Ocauucc, aud after a violent and
pootested struggle conquered her aud left fun
dead. The tradition continues, that her body
immediately changed to. stone, and is Bhbjvn
to tins day as the remains of the detested sor
ceress. . • '•. ’
Afterwards, when Hiawatha fulfilled his mis
sion in regard to the improvement of tho .con
dition of tho Indians, bo built himself a cabin
on the eastern shore of Cross Lake, and there
for many yearslnadc hla abode, exerting great
influence aud sway, dispensing council and ad
vice to the neighboring people.
At length ll was rumored that ft band of
bold invaders from tho north was approaching
tho domain of his people- A grand council of
oil tho neighboring tribes was called and hdd
on tho shore of Onondaga Lake, on tho "high
ground near where the village of Liverpool now
stands. On this occasion Hiawatha was colled
upon to attend the council and to give his ad
vice. Upon due deliberation ho recommended the
formation of a union of the several tribes for
mutual defense, which recommendation was
acted upon, and the great bond 'of confedera
tion, tho League of the Iroquois. Was formed—
a union of the Mohawks, Oncidas, Onondagu,
Senecas and Cay u gas—tho original five na*
lions—which league stands to this day -invio
late, n monunicut of tho wisdom and greatness
of Hiatvatha. ......
After the formation of this league and the
settlement of the national concerns on a firm
basis, and before tho breaking up of tho coun
cil, Uiawatha being seated in his white canoe,
was seen by all the vast assembly* rising
graceful! v higher and higher above their heads,
until he became entirely lost from thCyfew of
the assembled throng, who witnessed his won
derful ascent in mute astonishment. Thus re
tired the wise, the venerable, the great and good
Uiawatha to tho mysterious regions of tho
great Spint.— Syracuse.JournaL
