ASSASSINATION OF CHARLES 111.
' orrfnpon<lenc6of iho Newark Daily Atlveriisor.
I aBMa, Italy, Monday, March 27, ,1854.
: 'The city is at this moment in tho great
• -t excitement in consequence of the ns
isSndtion oflho Grand Duke, Charles 111.
'fovyaa stabbed in the bowels yesterday
' Tcrhbon, about 0 o’clock, by somo un
-1 down hand, while walking .unattended
,trough the spacious court-yard of the
'-‘iilace. A piercipg cry attracted the
' uarda at the doora, jvho instantly remo
v'd him to llis qhnmvcr, but I cannot learn
•hat the assassin was seen. The Grand
•'uko lingered in greet distress till 0$
• •’clock this morning. His wife, n dough
rrof the late Duke do nndy of
c nurse, a sister of the Duke s dc Bordeaux
•Henry IV., tho Bourbon pretender,] has
sumed the regency until the majority of
her eldest son, a lad of.six years, who suc
ceeds her father.
Charles 111. was born in 1828, and sue
reeded to the throne on the abdication of
I is father, [who is just now adjourning for
• iensuro at Algiers,] iry 1849, at tho ago
t-f 20. He was nn accomplished young
man, but too fopd of pleasure. Ho recently
made a forced loon from tho people, ns is
generally said, without just reason, and
•i-is act of oppression, with his proverbial
extravagance, greatly incensed the coun
try, and it is not improbable that somo one
rtnarting under his exactions, may have
perpetrated this act of vrngcancc. But
•here are many rumors on tho subject, and
I’ is impossible for passing strangers to
riscriminalo between them.
The'deceased onlv returned tibout a
fortnight since from a visit to Spaing where
his father has large fnmily estates,' ns ho
belongs to the (Spanish branch of tho Bour
lens. 1 saw him the day before tho mur
e- r, when ho was in perfect health, nod
> noke to mo in English with remarkable
tr-ency. Ho was very fond of England,
•• here he had passed much time, and in
q-dred interestedly about the U. S.
His chief minister and friend, Baron
Ward, is (he son of nn English ostler, was
l ; mself borrt in England, and actually sor
ted the Duke’s father ns the chief equcc
wof his stables. He is, in truth, an ex
ceedingly clever Englishman,and deserves
too promotion ho has won, with a consid
erable fortune, though decidedly illiterate.
This foul taking off of his confiding chief
v ill doubtless bring a change in his rclu
t' lnsi for the fair regent is under the
i-'lverso influenceof his brother’s cliquo.
The princes of Italy live in peril, of which
t'ds event will make them more painfully
conscious.
Important Decision. —Wo find in the
New York Journal of Commerce tho re
port of a case of importance to business
p:en generally:
The action was ngninst the endorser of
I note, dated Feb. 7. 1651, for St 500, pay
able on demand with interest. Tho ma
ker failed in November, 1851, and a
month beforo that was known by the plain
tiffs to be in failing circumstances; and
fatween two and four months before they
had spoken to him about paying the note,
r nd he told them he could not pay it thon
hut it was perfectly good, and that they
► hould not be uneasy about it. Their
£gent, who acted for them, said on his tes
timony—“l had no uneasiness about tho
pole at nil, because 1 was satisfied the en
dorser. was good, and therefore ii was not
>< matter of much importance, and it lay :
wo could not get the money from Davis.”
)t was decided that, after the note was six
months old, and the holders was satisfied
ihat.they could not collect it from tho ma
ker, they were guilty of neglect in not ma
king a formal demand of payment, and
notifying the endorser of non-payment. It
ifas held that they had no right, after that
io delay, “because they were satisfied the
endorser was good.” This was not good
( 'nitb to the endorser, and tho plaintiffs
must bear the consequances of it. They
delayed making a demand until January
15 185?. It was further decided that the
reason of this rule applies ns much to a
pote payable on demand, with interest, and
on which the endorser puts his name for
llje accomodation of the maker, as to an
ordinary note payable on demand. It can
not be ioferred, in either case, that a de
lay is intended to bo allowed under such
pircumplances as are stated above. Con
sequently, judgment wqs given for the

Terrible Conflagration. —The town
of Dovor, Kjr., in ruins—Loss $lOO,OOO.
VVe le4rn from passengers who cnmo down
the river yesterday, on the Pittsburgh pack
et, that oajhe boat neared the town of Do
ver, Ky„ about twelve miles below Mays
jrille, a tremendous conflagration was seen
to be in progress. The boat was landed,
when it was discovered that two of the prin
cipal business squares of the town had
been consumed and thedevouringclement
wos still making.terrific progress. There
were no fire engines in the place, and wa
ter being scarce, the citizens despaired of
saving any portion of the town.
Several tobacco warehouses were con
surped with their content's, besides stores,
gtjoceries, and private residences, the oc
cupants of ,which had lost all their goods,
&c. The boat loft when two
thirds.of tho.town was burnt down, and
the.fire .was still raging. The loss is es
timated at being over $lOO,OOO. The
particulars of thi s conflagration will prob

check flic growth of the country in that di
rection, is it not the part of wisdom to look
the danger in thq face, nnd provide for nn
event which you cannot avoid ? I tell you,
' sir, you must provide lor continuous lines
of settlement from the Mississippi valley
to tho Pacific ocean. And in making this
provision, you must decide upon what prin
pies the Territories shall be organized ; in
other words whether tho people shall bn
allowed to regulato their domestic, institu
tions in their own wav, according to the
provisions of this bill, or whether tho op
-'posito doctrine of Congressional interfe
rence is to prevail. Postpone it if you will ;
hut whenever you do net, this question
must be met and decided. —S. A.Do,uglas.
I snv nothing of tho constitutional view
of tho question. When I hnv?s been ask
ed if Congress does not possess the pow
er to impose restrictions or to pass the
‘Wilmot Proviso,’ I have waived tho issue;
I never discuss it. On that point I hnve
told mv constituents, nnd I tell you, I treat'
it as Chatham treated it in the British Par
liament when the question of power Jo tax 1
the colonies without representation was rai
sed there. That was a question which
Chatham would not discuss; but he told '
those who were so unjustly exercising it,;
that if ho were nn American lie would re- 1
sist it. The question of power is not the
question : the question is, is it right thus
to exercise it ? Is it consistent with repre
sentative republican government to do it ?
That is the question. Where do you lut
ter-duy Whigs from the North stand on
this question! Will you take the side of
Lord North and; the British tories, nnd
maintain that it is the duty of this great
government, with its superior wisdom, to
legislate for the freemen of this country, 1
as free-born ns yourselves, who quit the j
Stale jurisdictions and seek new homes in
the West?—A. H. Stephens, of Georgia;
—Whig. ;
Sir, 1 enro nothing about refined distinc
tions or.tlie subtleties of verbal criticism. ;
I repeat the plain and broad proposition, 1
that if Congress may intervene on this sub-'
jeet, it mny intervene on any other ; and j
having thus surrendered the principle and
broken away from constitutional limita
tions, you are driven into tho very Inp of
arbitrary power. By this doctrine you
mny erect a despotism under the Ameri- j
can system. The whole theory is n libel
on our institutions. It carries us bnck to
the abhorrent principles of British colloni
nl authority, against which we made the!
issue of independence. I have never ac-1
quiesced in this odious claim, and will not]
believe that it con abide the test of public
scrutiny. The bill onjnir tabic repudiates!
it, and only wants fearless advocates to
make it thoroughly odious. The political
abolitionists think they can ride the storm
ofanti-slavcry fanaticism, but i tell them
they have encountered here an element
more powerful still. They must obliterate
the memory'bf the principles on which
tho structure oyjour government was foun
ded ; they must undo the very texture of
the American mind ; the)' roust substitute
in the popular heart the dogmas of despo
tism for the doctrines of American liberty,
before they can triumph over the principle
of this bill.
The South insists on it as embodying
tho doctrine of State equality, on which her
very existence depends; but it should
commend itself equally to nil sections, be
cause tile underlying principle is not north
ern or southern, but Awerican. It is true
that tho question of slavery happens to be
the one in issue ; but it is there ns the rep
resentative of overy other social and po
litical right. The freedom of these new
countries to establish their own instiftnions
ought, therefore, to "be ns dear to the man
from Maine ns to the man from Florida. —

a \vord)to our friends.
The exertions which have of Into been
making in this section to procuro subscri
bers for different newspapers, has induced
us to afford the friends of tho Republican
an opportunity to extend its circulation. —
Prospectuses havo been issued and forwnrd
ed to different portions of the
it is hoped that a goodly {lumber of the
samo will bo returned ere long, with n res
pectable number of names attached to
each. We havo had no great cause to
complain of late ; for within the Inst six
month not less than one hundred names
hnvo been added to our list. Being en
couraged thereby, nnd relying upon still
further encouragement from the exertions
of our friends, we have ordered on n sup
ply of new type, which, when received,
w ; ll enable us to improve both the appear
nnco nnd usefulness of our paper. Our
readers may rely upon it, that the Rcjnib
lican is not to be surpassed as a county
paper, by any thing which may he started
up in this ‘neck of woods.’

Persons having ndvcriiscments in our
paper who mny wish to renew them will
please send ns orders to that effect, ns wc
will be compelled next week nnd the week
’following uxflcnr down all the advertise

venient for us to Bet up nn entire new ad

Two Men Drowned
We rogrek'excccdingly to learn, that a
Mr. William Wntson, of Bradford town
ship, this county, was drowned at Bircli
Point, a short distnneo nbovo the foot of
of Buttermilk falls, on Friday last.
Mr. Wutson it appears hud been assist
ing in running a raft, nnd having passed
the most dangerous-and difficult portion of
the river, he nnd two other hands attempt
ed to jump off the raft that was afloat on
to another that was tied' to shore, for the
purposeof returning home. The two first
it appears jumped snfe, but Mr. W. being
a little too late, or from some cause or
other, in attempting to jump merely reach
cd tho edge of the raft with his foot, and
fell back into the water, nnd was drowned.
Tho deceased wc understand lenyes a
wife nnd six small children to mouiTT-his
untimely death. \ j
We also learn that a young man by il4e
name of Peter Bartlett, or Peter Bnrtau/a
Frenchman, and miller by profession, cn.
gaged in the service of J. P. Hoyt, in the
upper end of this county, was drowned at
or near Lutnberville, some twelve or four
teen miles above-this place, on Snturdnv
last.
It appears that Mr. B. had been assisting
in rnnning a raft, and in assisting in run
ning a raft, and in attempting to jump on
to one tied to shore for the purpose of land
ing, jumped too far, not farenough, or miss
ed bis calculation in foroo way or other,
and got into the water immediately behind
the raft, when the current carried him un
derneath the same, and nothing furihcr
was seen of him.
Mr. 8., we understand, was a highly es-
timable young man. !
Neither tho bodies of Mr. Watscn or
l Mr. B. have yet been found, nnd search
lis deemed almost useless in the present
'and rapid stage of the water. j
OirThc papors throughout different por-j

llow will Germany Act ?
Since despatches of March 5, no fur
ther advnnces of any sort have,been mado
to tho Western Powers in any official
form, but, on the other hand, Austria, in
sending Baron Von Mess to Berlin, shows
a determination to strnin every nerve to
bring about n cordial nnd spirited co-opc
ration of the German Powers, of course,
hien oitcndu, in the interest of Austria.—
While Prussia will he called upon to enter
into what will virtually he an alliance of
fensive and defensive with Austria, by
which the lotter-wUI gain the assistunco of
the former in case of being attacked or
disquieted in Lombardy " nnd Hungary,
Prussia will receive tho same security ot
assistance from Austria in case of Posen
or the Rhine provinces being attacked of
disquieted.
If the two powers decide on asserting
and maintaining u strict neutrality, they
can produce, with the help of the Bund,
which lor such purpose would be immedi
ately given, a force of nearly 600,000
men for the protection of their common
fntherlnnd. If they adopt the view that
German interests are injured by the stop
ping up of the mouths of the Danube, or
may be extremely improved by weakening
the power of Russia in the Baltic, nnd per
haps abolishing the Sound duties, they
would though losing the assistance of the i
Bund, still be able to bring from Coo,oooi
to 700,000 men into the field for simu ta.
neous action in the South and tho North.
