A singular bii of romance in real life has
created a great excitement among the inhabi
tants of the region, lying around and about
Fifth avenue. h appears that a wealthy
widowed gcn'leman, of this city, being absent
much olf his lime on business, left his only
daughter, a young lady of surpassing beauty,
fit the care of a friend, who resides up (own.
While staying with this friend, a young gen
tleman. Mr. L , visited the young girl,
and an attachment sprung up between them.
The father o! the lady not liking Mr. L ,
endeavored to separate them ; and the gallant
lover promised to leave the lafatuatcd girl, for
the consideration of a thousand dollars. It
was paid, and the young Lothario disap
peared. But a few days afterwards, what
was the astonishment ol the old folks, to learn
that the young couple bad been actually mar
ried by a fashionable clergyman, and were
legally man and wife.- The father again
called on the newly made husband, apd know
ing his character too well to imagine for an
instant that he was a suitable match for bis
daughter, asked him what amount ho would
require to depart from the country, and leave
liis bride behind him, with her father, who
trusted that time would cure his poor child
from her melancholy infatuation. After some
deliberation the young husband declared his
willingness lo leave for four thousand dollars.
The money wps paid, and a bond, signed,
sealed, end delivered, " with pen,.ink, and
wafers,” ns Harold Skimpole would say, was
to be drawn out the next morning, and the
father returned home. But the end was not
yet come. The very morning tho heartless,
perjured husband again appeared, and de
manded his wife ; the girl'flew to his arms,
and they both left, while the unfortunate
father, having paid the money and accepted
the word of honor of the young man, until
the bond was drawn out, Could do nothing,
and was thus bereft of child and money.—
The lost of the latter was nothing, but all
his hope’ and affection were centred in his
daughter, and his is now a sad and desolate
home. —New Yoth paper.
' Giant Skeleton Fotmu. —The Wheel
ing Tima says: “A day or two since some
workmen engaged in subsoiting the grounds
of Sheriff Wickham, at his vineyard in Bast
Wheeling, came across a human skeleton.—
Although much decayed, there was not much
difficulty in identifying it, by placing the
bones, which could not have belonged to other
than a human body, in their primitive posi
tion. The impression made by the skeleton
in the earth and the skeleton itself were
measured by the Sheriff and a brother in the
craft lacale , both of whom are prepared 10
swear that it was ten feet nine inches in
length. Its jaws and teeth were .almost as
large as those of a horse. The bones are to
be seen at the Sheriffs office.”
Distkgssiko Occubbeisce. —A WHOLE
Family Destroyed.—A private loiter from
Morgan county, Illinois, informs us that a
most distressing casualty, or, rather, series
of casualilies, occurred about three miles
from Jacksonville, a few days ago, to which
a whole family fell victims. A small girl,
daughter of a widow named Ironmonger,
while feeding the pigs, having got into the
pen where they were confined tor the purpose,
was attacked by a vicious sow and torn so
shockingly that she died, A large hole was
eaten in her side, by the savage beast, and,
shp was otherwise mangled, The shock on,
the mother at ibo horrible spectacle killed
her too. The next night a camphene lamp
exploded . accidentally, in the house, killing
one child instantly, and so severely injuring,
another that it is not expected to recover;.—

The Question.
Studied misrepresentation of the principles and
the aims of the Republican party - constitutes the
whole stock in trade of tho pro-Slavcry press. It
was lavishly dealt outdaring the campaign just end
ed : there is enough reserved for all time to come.
Rat misrepresentation, (hank God, i» not eternal;
Truth is eternal and must ultimately triumph.
“It is the liberties of 4,000,000 of blacks against
the interests ol 120,000.000 of whilessay the ne
gro hunters. -It is no such thing. It is the freedom
of speech, of the press and of the sail. If Slavery
be wrong, then it is universal Freedom and the in
terests of all—white and black. Men cannot in
flict wrong upon a portion of (be human family
without injury to the rest. Races art indissolubly
linked; strike one link from the great chain and
the harmony of nature Is interrupted.
The RennhU/-»-i“ rt yf' Abiding Slavery as a
great evil, propose lo restrict’ it to its present limits.
It bolds that Slavery is «n anomaly in a Republic;
that it is inimical lo the best interests of any people
and ruinous to the last degree. Where It is estab
lished and protected by Slate laws, the constitution
.al right to interfere with it is not claimed; bat in
all the national territory, where the power rests in
the General Government, we hold that the spread of
Slavery may, and onght to be prohibited. This
claim was set up and admitted in the young morn
ing of the Republic. Every inch of territory then
owned by the United States was solemnly deeded to’
Freedom, The final acknowledgment of that grant
may be found in the present Constitution.' It is ho
mean precedent, and it tnffiics to prove that the
present aim of the Republican party is Identical willf
its-avowed policy in the morning of its existence.
It is not a political question simply. ‘lts moral
sod religions bearings transcend, in importance, 6v-'
ery other. Slavery and Polygamy most tiiamph or
(alt together; tor where one trials,the other alsol
will be found. . Slavery, to one who hultsled Free- :
dom.ii contemplated with horror and disgust. The
slave who bags bis ehtiins and ticks.the bmd of bis
oppressor, is a living witness of the. terrible effect of
te rvitnde upon the hnmtn character. Yet this ab
ject, fawning creature is often set before thp world
in evidence of the miscalled blessings of Slavery !

I cannot stoop to bandy words with one who hos
been twice branded as a,coward, and, who, so tar
from resenting imputation, in bis circulated: ro
part.posts himself as (he perpetrator of,a, cowardly

report. 1 First, that fan never addressed os a Word in
writing.’ We have the despatch referred to, togeth
er with n despatch to which his name is subscribed,
received at the same time, and which may be exam
ined and compared at Uiis office. 1
Second, Uial he approached me directly in front of
me in making the attack. This is a somewhat im
portant point.
I have interrogated L. H. Sbattocx, Esq., Super
intendent of the flood and to whom he refers, in re
gard to this point. He replies os follows:
“ Ist.—He [Lyman] approached from behind yoa.
t " ?d—l heard no conversation. between you pre
vious to the attack. None but land conversation
would have been heard at the distance I (hen was
from you.' - . ' '
“ 3ch—l saw him attack you. l Ile' stbod in the
aisle directly at the .end .-of the sept you occupied.”
I should slate herd, that Mr. Shattupk' .interfered
promptly to restore order on that occasion,
Mr. Lyman’s third point is, that he inflicted cer
tain indignities upon my person.
1 am the more competent witness as regards thsl
matter. I have once staled the truth in reference to
it. It is now simply a question of voracity between
us. lam willing it shall remain thus, or otherwise.

i The Sell Governor.
Editors Journal : The lljme has. again
arrived when the people of Pennsylvania, are
beginning (o be interested in selecting a proper
candidate to succeed James Ijollo'ck as ,Gov
ernor of the Commonwealth. This is a high
and responsible trust; and its duties onetous,
and-difficult to perfrom. No person without
great experience and administrative ability,
should be thought of in'connection wkbitbis
office. Thu result uf the reccut election in
the Slate, shows a large preponderance of
the north and north-western counties. It
would seem appropriate that the Republican
candidate for the .Gubernatorial campaign ot‘
1857,should be selected from one of these
localities. No person is known to lhe writer,
whose nomination would be hailed through
out the Common wealth with more enthusiasm
than that of the Hon. R. G. White, Presi
dent Judge.of this Judicial District. His emi
nent talents,, learning, and unbending integ
rity, would secure him a strong vote and .be
asute guarantee of faithfulness to the dis-
linguisbed (rust. RerCBUOAN.
Goudersporl, Nov, 25, 1856.
It is proposed in several quarters that a
PepubticaaSiate ConVentiooior nominating
candidates for Governor,CanalCommistion
er, die., be held in January at'Harrisburg,
and that the people of this Commonwealth be
resumed immediately thereafter.' In cur
judgment both of these propositions 'are emi
nently judicious/ No doubt the Slate Com
mittee, having ample facilities for that-pur
pose, will .gather up the seuse-of the party on
the poinlt, and act 1 as shall seem suitable’af
ter a full survey of the field. '
VVho shall be the candidate for Governor ?
Very probably a diversity of preference
exists. | Our opinion is that David WniMor
is the proper man to be selected. For many
years he has, so to speak, embodied in his
own person the principle of opposition to the
extension of Slavery, and hence be is, as it
appears to us,'the fittest man in the Common
wealth! to be tho standard bearer of the Re
publicans in the next contest.
Pul Mr. Wilmot in nomination,: and the
issue will be fairly and sharply set, so that
even machiavellian subtlety cannot perplex
and ; obscure it. This is a ■ great advantage
to be gained. < -
Besides,' Mr. Wilmot, in addition to large
experience in. public affairs, possesses fine
abillies. In the recent canvass no other re
publican speaker was bis equal- for massive
ness and solidity of argument, or for.broad
and comprehensive grasp of the whole matter
in controversy. '’ i

by birth and-permanent residence, bat by the
strong bondmf intelligent patriotism.—flbnM

and there it shall float until (lid triumphant
