The Key of the Bastille.
a glass case, in the great passage of the
mansion at Mount Vernon, hangs a memorable
relic, placed there by "Washington himself—
the. Key of tho Bastille. It was a gift from
Lafayette.
On July the ,14th, 1789, the, Parisians
stormed and took the Bastille, and thereby
may bo said to have commenced the 1 first
( French revolution. The Marquis do” Launay,
i Governor of the hated fortress-prison, with
,his Lieutenant, and somo soldiers, wore killed;
'after a gallant defence « worthy of a better
! cause/i as Mr. Thackeray would say. 'Their
jheads were, out off, and stuck upon pikes,
paraded through the.princlpal atreeta-of Paris.
prison was ordered by the National Assembly
and tho stoneß of wbichit had boon builtwere
/jubsequently in of the
Font dc la Concorde, ttyhe command of the
National Guard was given to' and,
as a special compliment, the key of tho Bas
tille was placed in his hands. He determined
to present it to his friend, George Washington,
In that agreeable and instructive volume,
Benson J. Lossing’s << Mount Vernon and its
Associations,” wo find a detailed account of
the manner in which the Key came into Wash
ington’s hands. " '
■ From this we. learu that, in March, 1790,
Lafayette sent Ufa Key, together with a small
pencil drawing pf tho destruction of the Bas
tille, to Thomas Paine; then in London, to bo
forwarded to Washington, and that he enclosed
with them alettolo Washington, dated March
17, 1790, atleftM in which occur the following
sentences: « Give mo leave, my dear General,
to present you with a picture of the Bastille,
just as it looked a few days aftor 1 ordered its
'demolition, with the main Key oi the fortress
of despotism. It is a tribute which I owe as
a son to my, pdppted .father—as an ald-de
camp to my General-*as- a missionary of lib
erty to its patriarch;” ' L
; After some considerable delay, probably
oaused by the difflcnlty of finding a safe per
son to convoy them to the United States, the
key and drawing were sent to Washington by
Paine, who -wrote a-letter expressive of his
gratification at being tho medium of trans
mitting such a present, and his regret that he
should be unable, from his detention in Eu
rope, personally to place them in Washing
ton’s hands, and adding that he had permitted
no drawing,to be made of tho key orskoteb.
Washington wrote to Lafayette, on Augnst
11th, 1790; acknowledging tho receipt of tho
letter and gifts, which last, he described as
‘i the token, of tho vlctory gained by liberty
over despotism.” The key'anfrtho drwrfog,
both of which are represented in Mr. Lossing’s
book, were placed by Washington’s own
hands in that part of the mansion of Mount
Verpon which they continue to occupy. Di
rectly opposite hangs the spy-glass which
Washington used throughout the Revolution.
II thoro be ono tjiing whoso identity is
almost mote certain than another at Mount
Vernon,‘,it is the Key.of the Bastille, which
reached Washington, sb directly from La
fayette., Yet, in the Illustrated Loudon ffews
of May 26th, we hare a long article in which
the claims of another koy are set up.
Among , many;'.curious. relics, this article
teltiMijJ'wbi<jljjWiH‘ sliorily be sold by Messrs,
ipbij.aOclc & Galworthy of London is *• The
Key bt.- tbS_ , pr3iiMf“»l> igfde and a stone bam
the centre entrance of tho Bastille;” The stone
is oblong, and around it, cut in capitals is tho
inscription “ Cette piebbe vibkt de oacuots
DE LA BASTIW.E, DOHNEE A M. JfOBEAU ST.
Meet, President des Bieoteubs, 1789, par
IE Patbiote Palt.ot, l’an 4e.” [This stone,
coming from tho dungeons of the Bastille, was
giren to M. Moreau St. Mery, President of the
Electors, 1789, by the Patriot Palloy, in tho
fourth year of tho Itepubllc.]
Accompanying it is the original letter to M.
Palloy, from Bailly, the Mayor of Paris, thank
ing him tor the stone and inviting him to dln
nor.
On a considerable portion' of tho stone,
within tho above inscription, is carved an
obelisk, surmounted by a flying Fame (or a Vic
tory), and near the apex of the obolisk is cut
a medallion portrait. The obelisk stands upon
a base, on which is cut what seems to be a
plan of tin) Bastille. Underneath, in a space
occupying about one-fourth of the stone, is a
large Key, fastened there by iron hooks, dri
ven into wood plugs, let in to hold it. : Tho
tradition 1s that this is tho identical key of the
principal gate ef tho Bastille.
To account for there being a duplicate—it
boing undeniable that tbo veritable Key of the
Bastille was given to Lafayette, and sent by him
to W ashington—it is asserted that there woro
two koys of tho great gate of tho Bastille —one
in the possession of tho KiDg of Franco him
self, and the other in that of the Governor of tho
prison. Tho possessors of what passes in
England for tho Key, do not deny or in any
way impngn the authenticity of the Key which
has hung in tho entrance-hall of Washington’s
houso at Mount Vernon, tor tho last seventy
years, But they affirm that it was the King’s
Key which fell iAto the hands of General La
fayette, and that their key is that which was in
custody of the Marquis de J.aunay, Governor
of tho Bastille.
To us it appoars moro probable that La
fayette, who personally assisted in the storm
ing of tho Bastille, and who was extremely
popnlar and distinguished in Paris, on ac
count of tho gallant services which he had ren
dered to tho cause of Liberty in America,
should have been presented with the Key,
actually captured when the prison was taken,
than that ho should have become possessed of
tho duplicate (if such there wore,) held by
tho King of Prance.
'f ho key, as engraved In Mr. Losaing’s book,
from an accurate drawing made at Mount Ver
non, bears little resemblance to the other key,
of which an engraving is given in the
led London News. Perhaps, the Becond key,
now in England, was used in opening and lock,
ing one of the smallor doors or gates of tho
Bastille?—that is, it may be a key, but not the
key. Lafayette’s letter to Washington deci
dedly speaks of sending “ tho main key of tho
fortress of despotism.'* Moreover, Lafayette
sent off AL key ten months (March, 1790) alter
it came into his possession, whereas M. Pal
loy, “lo patrioto,” did not present tho stone
until 1798, three years later, and there iB no re
cord whateyerabout bis key, or its history.

tee, that a statement was made by Mr. Bmn
wobth, thpt upon my request he had paid money,
towards ln 1856, and that he had paid
it to me personally. That is not so. I novor re-:
quested Mr. Botmbwoktb to contribute a dollar
towards my eleotion, nor did he ever give me a'
dollar. He gave a financial agent of mine one!
hundred dollare. under peooiiar oironmeianoes. i
Q. l'id yon ever have any correspondence with
Mr. Browse, of the Consmuiton, Ip reference to'
supporting the Leoompton policy of the President ?!
A. No, sir. j
Q. Did you have any correspondence with Mr.
Bdtmbwobth, Superintendent of the Assay Offioe
in New York, in reference tq thpt taatter 7 A, I
corresponded with Mr. Bottkrworth from the'
time liras elected member of Congress, in 1856
down to the 17th of April, 1858, whoul wrote him
a letter closing our correspondence and terminating
onr acquaintance.
Q. Have you any objection to leaving that cor
respondence with the committee? A. As to this
letter of my own, closing our correspondence, I
have no objeotion to leaving that, and having i|
Incorporated, as a part of my testimony. I had
not intended to have mado any use of Mr, Burras
worth’s letters to me; bat having read in the New
York Times, of the date of the sth of April last, a
statement which was designed to ohqrge me with
having at one time been in favor of the Leoompton
Constitution, which statement I know was snperin:
duced to be published by Mr; : Bb*ysbwobth (
and reference having beeq made in that state*
ment to some of my private letters to Mr. Butter?
worth, with what. purported to be a quotation
from one ef my letters, I now propose, therefore,
as Mr. Buttxbworth in a letter,to me oonsented
to the publication of his letters, provided I would
consent to the publication of my letters, to leave
these letters of Mr Buttbrwortk to me with Mr.
-CovoDß, the ohalrman of this committee, the let
ters (o be in ftrsealed envelope, with the under
standing that if Mr. Buttebworth agrees to thp
publication of the whale of my letters, these shall
be published also. Ido this because I desire that
the onus these letters shall be put
upon Hr. Butterwobth, he having, in his exami
nation here, oonsented to the publication of his
letters to me, provided that I wottlt eencant to the
publication of my letters tohlm.
oontalaed-in tfcfc at fhm
.-April .lest, mure tna«ratiymn»r CohsideratlonThas
induced mo to testify bofore this committee. That
statement sought to oharge me with having acted
at least with dnpiioity upon'tho Kansas questies.
Hence it is that I am willing to leave with this
committee Mr. Botthrworth’b letters to me, many,
of which were written in friendly confidence, just
as mine were written to him. Therd'are expres
slonsqpon both sides of a very friendly oharaoter.
Q. Without stating the oontents of Mr. Buttbb
worth’s letters, can you state if you know what
hie views were upon the Leoompton question after
the 19th of December, 1857? A. After the 19th
of Mr. Buttkrwobtq did not
endorse the President's course upon the Leoompton
question. They accorded, as I understood them,
with my views fatly. And I desire here to state,
as you have mentioned the 19th of December, that
Mr. Butterworth has said, ael am informed, that
I favored the Leoompton polioy of the President
np to the 19th of Deoember, and he also said that
the Leoompton message of the President bad
beon transmitted to Congress before that period.
Now, for the truth of history* and to vindi
cate myself, I desire to state that the annual
message of the Presidont of the United States was
sent to Congress on the Bth of December. I ap
proved of that annual message, and on the 21st of
December, 1857, I wrote a letter to a meeting
called at Tammany Hall, in New York, to approve
of the message. There waa nothing in the annual
message upon tbe subject of Kansas which I did
not approve, becauso Leoompton had not.then been
made an issue. The first election in Kansas topk
place on tbe 21st of December, 1857, and the second
election on tho 4th of January following. The
speolal message relating to Leoompton itself was
not transmitted to Congres* until the 2d of Fe
bruary, 3858.
Q. How many Dcmooratio members of Congress
approved the Leoompton polio?? A. Well, air, !as
a saspioion has been sought to bo thrown upon my
course upon tho Leoompton question, it would per
haps be well for me to state that the anti-Lccoirip
ton Democrats always mot at my house. At the
first meeting cf the acti-Leoompton Democrats,
which was about the Ist of January, 1858, there
were some twenty-four or twenty-fivo present. - I
w&b appointed the secretary. Those who met there
were Mr. M. McKibbe.h of California, John 0.
Davis, Mr. English, Mr. Niblack, (he only met
with us once.) Mr. Foley of Indiana, Thchas|l.
Harris, Mr. Shaw, Mr. Smith, Mr. Marshall,
Mr. Morris of Indiana, Wilson Reillby, Mr.
Montgomery, Mr. Hickman, Mr. Chapman, Mr.
Dbwart, and Owen -Jones of Pennsylvania, Mr.
. Co\- ti Mr. Groksbkck, Mr. Cockrell, Mr. Law
rkncf. and Judge Hall of Ohio, Mr. Adbain of
New Jersey, and Mr. Clark and myself of New
York —twenty four ox twenty-five- altogether.
Q. now many adhered to that position upon tbe
passage of the English bill? A. There were only
twelve—tbe apostoHo nnmber—who voted against
the English bill, and one was away, Mr. Mont
gomery, who w&b paired with Mr. Wabrbn, of.
Arkansas.
Q. Did you ever have an interview with the Pre
sident in relation to the Lecompton question ? A.
Yes, sir. It was an official interview. i
Q. If thare is no impropriety in telling us about
it, will you please to do so ? A. I had an inter*
view with tho President after the first or seciond'
meeting of the anti* Lecompton Democrats whom I
havo named as meeting at my house. As I had a
great deal of solloltnde at the time to have 'Mr.
Buchanan’s Administration a successful one, espe
cially upon this Kansas eubjeot, I oalled upon him.
My littlo daughter was with me. This was long
before he sent in his speoial message upon Kansas.
I told him that there was this number of Northern
Domoorats who would not support what was un
derstood to be tho Kansas programme—tbe' ad
mission of Kansas under tbe Lecompton Constitu
tion. We had a general talk upon the subject at
that timo. He asked me what I proposed should
be done about it. I told him. vefy frankly that I
trusted he would not make any Administration test
of Lecompton, but woul*} let tbe Lecompton Con
stitution go to Congress from thehandsof John Cal
houn, who had been directed by the Convention,
wbloh was alleged to have framed it, to transmit it
to Congress, and Congress would dispose oi it, we
trusted, without hla making it an Administration’
i measure. Tho President said 'that he bad de
termined upon his policy upon that question,
and as Alabama, Mississippi,’ and Georgia, were
about seceding uniats Kansas was admitted
under that Constitution, he had/determined to
! send the message to Congress, and make it an
! Administration measure. Subsequently to that a
| oommittee wia appointed, at e meeting of tho anti-
Lecompton Democrats atmy house, consisting of
i Messrs. Jakes B. Clit, Dbwart, and myself, to
wait upon the President And beg him not to make
this an Administration measure and test. Mr.
Dxwart did not go ? °wiug to P OO^0 * relations
theretofore with the President, and Mr. Cox went
in his place.- That interview was a short time be
fore tho President lent in bis Lecompton message.
Mr. Clay was the chairman of tho oommitiefe, but
each of us made our argument, In as forolbio a
manner as possible, to avoid the difficulty which
subsequently grew out of this subject of Lecofnp
ton In tho House. , / , t . .
Q, Do you know any other matters or things perti
nent to this investigation, or useful to tho country ?

Arm—yes, here,, in Pennsylvania. Yon needn’t

Certainly; ■ I always try to have a reason for the

country was horn, turned into a hage slave mart)
There would I erect a platform that would delight
our seceding brethren of the Sonth, and on it the
auctioneer should stand from (t rosy morn till

by the State, and kept at his work every day, nntu
every slave in the Commonwealth waa sold off tj>

' Wiii-ber'BOta jot auounnt of the j
on the 4th of July next,' at the slave mart in Inda- ,|
pendence Bqnare, the following deacribedehafcteli, ;
to wit: - j
James —an accomplished servant. He has beep j
owned by five or six Southern gentlemen atlfasq- j
iegton/to whom hebecame very much '
and faithful as a dog. He has a tremendously j
strong consttiutton, of whioh he takes the greatest
care, and whioh enables him, with one'or two)
blows, to disable any adversary. His last victim 1
was a big bully, that~aied”io have everything bis >
.own way In meet of the States pf this.Unien, by the,!
name of D E. MoeVaoy. James’ constitution was
too muoh for bim—he waa laid.out as flat as ji
flounder. It. will thus be seen that said James
would be ipvaluable on a .large plantation, for ije
would exercise' despotic- cbntr&over other slaves, ’
and keep them all in good order. He is quite in*
lelligent.Hoo ;• can write long and. lugubrious let
tere, whioh are. .very, amusing. He baa but one
fauU—a little fondness for Monongahela, under the I
influence of which, gets out of his mind a lit- j
tie, ahd tell the' difference botween a tallow- ,
candle box and a Cincinnati platform. ;
1 Jeremiah—An A I full-grown man; eouud In
body, but with a somewhat irregular turn of mind;
he sometimes imagines himself a lawyer, and
thinks the President ought to make him a judge
Tries to make people believe black is white; bo
was onoe asked the value of a.boy in this city, aiid
in response aaidtfae boy wee worth $BO,OOO to the
Government. Notwithstanding theeo little faults,
however, if he had a good master, who would look
after him constantly, he would prove an excellent
purchase.,
William No. I—An extraordinary lad, of most
amiable temper; would hire out well; positively j
dislikes idleness, and will gladly fill Anyplace bis I
master may put him in, and he will briog in annu '
ally an enormous interest on the -valuation placed 1
on him by bis present 6#ner. A former owner, j
named Wh. Olay, employed-him en an estate he 1
bad in Xeblgh county, giving the lad entire charge j
of it, and he bettered it greatly. He was lately !
taken to China, in the service of a highly respecta
ble gentleman, named Samuel, and he there ao-'
quired & knowledge of tricks and juggling, which
renders him very amusing
William, No. 2—About 50 years of age; has
been a useful hand» Is in good condition, with
the exception of some weakness in the knees. At :
times he is subject to fl{s of hallucination, in which
he imagines himself a great man, talks of “ illumi- |
eating” questions. He onoe attempted to ran off j
from his master, and sell himself to a Mr. Wilmot. !
Dealers may be assured, however, that in spite of j
these trifling irregularities, William is now, in nil |
respects, perfectly harmless, for he has not brains i
enough to be mischievous. It is asserted by some,
that a certain gentleman, of Louisiana is the owner
of William,*but the Commonwealth Is prepared to
supply all defects of title, as she is anxious to get
rid of him. For all purposes not requiring strength
of limb, there is no better slavd than William, who
declares that it will be “ the happiest hour of his
life” when he gets a Southern master.
Napolkox—A smart, intelligent boy; temperate
and of economical habits; faithful to any hand that
feeds him. '
Joseph - A stout, hearty boy ; would make an ex
cellent scullion. The Commonwealth will sell po
tnore at present, as she Is strongly inclined to
emancipate the balance of her slave property ,on
tbe 4th of M*rch next.

POTTSYIIiIiB) June 10, 1860.
There is muoh amusement here at this time
among the opponents of the Democratic party, and
some regret among the true men of the party, that
the friends of Douglas have been sold by the dele
gate to Charleston, Mr. Hughes The secret lies
in this, Senator Bigler, who is the Tycoon of our
delegate, is exceedingly anxious to be Vice Presi
dent himself, and therefore prefers the nomination
Of a Southern candidate. That a large majority
Of the Democrats of. Schuylkill are In favor ef
Doualas no sane man will deny, and vet by the
trlokery ofßigler, the speoial pleading of a lawyer
and a committee, made of men of clay; the late

Douglas as the popular sentiment demanded. Ob
abamo! Look at Lanoaater, (the hqme of thefavo
rite son,) Montgomery, ana all other Democratic
counties which nave spoken since the meeting of
the Charleston Convention ; they expressed
themselves in words of thunder, openly,’ manfully.
No padlock was, as in Schuylkill, attached, to their
lips, but the flame of indignation for the sin of
stifling public .opinion, must and wilt break out,
and Bigler and Haghes, and their Guthrie friends,
(who in Sohuylral may possibly fill an omnibus.)
will bo nowhere. Mind the prediction: the people
have been humbugged long enough by Senator
Bigler, and are panting to obtain pn opportunity
to vote for or against him again, that free expres
sion may be given to their indignation.

Sidney Webster, the courteous and acoompUahed
! private secretary of ex-Preaident Pierce, was, on
j Wednesday last, married to Sarah Morris, daugh
ter of ex-Senator Hamilton Pish. The ceremony
was performed by, Rev. Dr.' Anthon. Gen. Fierce,
Gen. Cushing, and other eminent gentlemen, were
present at the ceremony.
A report has been put in circulation by some
vagabond, that the yellow fever has appeared at
Quarantine. It is entirely without foundation.
Not a case has been reported thus far daring the
season, and no vessel infected with it has entered
port.. The city was never more healthy, in June,
than at the present moment.
Hicks, the artist, has gone to Springfield, Illi
nois, to paint a portrait of “ Honest Old Abe.”
The famous case of the two mothers and one baby,
wherein Solomon displayed his sagacity, has been
matched in Rutland, Vt., where a woman charged
another with stealing her child from theeradle.
She brought suit for the baby, and the magistrate,
after hearing a good deal of conflicting testimony,
decided in favor of the woman whn’oried the nftst.
That Was substantially the judgment of Solomon
in the other ease, and is probably correct. ■
