Continued applause. In
view of the great importance of driving
from power the administration which has
sustained itself only by corruption, it is
necessary that every man should buckle
on his armor and go forth to victory.
(Applause.) Let me tell you that this
administration has not been able to elect
a single member to Congress from Penn-
sylvauia without corruption or deception,
As a member of an investigating Commit
tee I have made the important discovery
that the only power left to this adiainis-
tration in tho North is its patranage and
its ability to use itcorruptly. (Applause.)
We have pnssed through a struggle on

By direct negotiations.
A voice Where did tho money come
from?
Mr. Covode The money came from
the Treasury of the United States, indi
rectly, and was taken from your pocket,
Mr. President, and mine. The most of
it was assessed and collected in the North,
uot in the South; and used by a corrupt
Administration in tho shape of taxing
contracts, and by levying contributions,
Let me tell you some particulars connect-
ed with this, as a member of the iuve.ti-
gating Committee on Printing. We made
the dir-cocry that the contracts were let,
aud about twenty por cent., in many ca-
ses, of the money paid by the Govern-
ment for services went into the political
fund of which Wendell wan the banker.
Let me refer you to some of the names
and circumstances conntcted with this
State aud with which you will become
more familliar. Out of sixty-nine con-
tractore, a large mojority paid money on
coutracts into this fund. It was assoer-
taiued that a contractor had done about
n Imndrp.d thousand dollars worth nf lith-
for tifl Go7rnment. He was

Answer In tho office.
The elerk was sent for, and his testi
mony agreed with that of the latter,
president, you will sco now the money
came out of your pocket and mine, to fur
nish means to those who were engaged in
a crusade against tbe interests and liber
ties of our country. Ono of the partici
pants (Mr. Seaman) was ordered to bo

thing we heard was that ho had gone to

Mr. Seaman had not been put upon his
1 his testimony, that the books showed that monev. natronaeo and power, has nover
but which ho called a loan. When ask
ed, "what did you do with that money I"
"Why, said he, "don t put this down as
evidence; I used it to carry elections in
Pennsylvania. More than double that
was spent in 1853, but it did not damage
you any" referriug to mjjiflf. "I will
assure you I did not giro a dollar to your
district.'' I asked him "why!" He re
plied, "when Mr. Buchanan handed me a
letter asking me to furuich a thousand
dollars to beat you, I told him it was no
use and was only throwing money away."
The matter then got into the New
York Tribune and came to Mr Buchan
an's eye. Ho sent for Wendell and said,
"I want you to deny the truth of those
statements." TVendell replied, "I can
not." He came and told me what had
taken place. And why was not this tes
timony published ? A majority of that
oommittee were Democrats. But, gentle
men, we have a oommitteo now that will
probe these fellows to the bottom. It is
for this wo struggled eight weeks, day
and night, for victory, and though you
may think it small, I hope there are great
results to come from it. Wendell's testi-
ony, lately taken, will show you
he went into the doubtful districts of
nsylvauia and expended large sums
of money to defeat us. Whilst suffering
from the sting of guilt for engaging in
Buch transactions, Mr. Buchanan sent

brought

his bands wo asked him to testify. He
refused, when we referred him to the law
framed by Ritohio, of Allegheny, which
gave us tho power to imprison for contu-
maoy. He came back, the next day and
testified, for giving that testimony and
for refusing to - go to jail for two weeks,
tho name of The Union was changed
to "I lie Uonslilution. Wendell was
thrown overboard and Bowman

in. Wendell then threatened to

tho
meeting of Congress they gave him a
oontract which would pay for keeping
quiet. (Great laughter and applause.)
Gentleman. I am a party man above all
considerations, and I believe that the in

is the interest of the country. Ap
plause.) I am prepared to enter the contest
We have to elect the our members of
Congress, our Governor, our President,
and rescue the control of this government
from the bauds of the spoilers; if thoy are
allowed to retain possession four years
more, the machinery of tho Government
will become more complicated, and it is
unlikely that we shall be able to assume
the power of tho Government. Threats
have already been made that, if we elect
a Republican President, it will dUtolve
the Union. So we were told if we elected
a Speaker. During the last contest for
Speakor, scores of speeches were made
declaring that in the event of the election
of a Republioan President, the Union
should be- dissolved. This threat, Mr.
Presideut, and it gives me pleasure to
state it, has in no single instance come
from a Southern Oppositionist or Repub-
licau, but in all cases from the Southern
nnrtinn of the Duuiocratio nartv. and ac-
qoiesced in by xNortberu doughfaces.

not done. It was a war to conquer tho
freemen of KaDsas. The Government ,
had not patronage and power enough. j
It wauted office to'bestow upon the rela- j"
tives of members of Congress. j
These, gentlemon, are samples of what
is done at Washington to support this
corrupt administration, to dofcat your ta
riff polioy and crush out freedom from
the territories. (Applouo.)
A Voice. What did Hickman sayl
Hickman said, in the face of the wholo
of thorn, looking at them boldly, "I havo
been offered more for my vote on the 1
Lecompton iniquity than I am worth." j
(Applause.) So will Mr. Haskiu, of New '.
York, and Mr. Adrain of New Jersey,
tho last of whom was offered a foreign
mission as one of the items.
Not a man voted for the Leoompton
iniquity but was paid by coutracts, money',
office, position, or i,o some othor way. ;
Some have been paid twice, uqder tfco ,
threats of exposing secrets." Such items,
for instance, as an Indian.Agency. Mind

Premature Funeral.
A singular affuir occurred yesterday
at the nero settlement knovtu as Hog
Neck, near tbe Rocky River Plank Road,
some six miles from tho city. An old ne
gro named Jacob Sanders, who was fa
miliarly known as Old Jakey, died (ap
parently) late 011 Sunday night, and yes
terday afernoon his body was put iu a
rough pine coffin, which wa placed in a
wagon, and the procession an unusually
large one moved towards the grave.
While on tho way the horse attached to
the wagon containing the coffin took fright
and broko into a rand run, upsetting tbe
wagon and throwing the coffin out. It
rolled down a small hill, being badly
smashed on its way. lhe mourners
rushed to the spot and were vastly a
mazed to see Old Jakey rising from a-
mong the ruins of his coffin and staring J
stupidly around. His inky black taoe,
snow white wool and white shroud, form
cd a startling picturo, turning tho amaze-
ment of the colored mourners into fright,
andthey all took wildly to their heels.
As soon as Old Jakey recovered his
scattered senses ho lay down upon the
ground and yelled lustily for tbe mourn
ers to come back. Thoy came at length
cautiously one by one and the old fel
low was carried homo. He was very woll
this morning and don't intend to die for
some timo yet. Ho bad been ailing for
several davs, and on Sunday night he ap-
