of the most ably written and convincing argu

Such an array of. facts must convince every
unprejudiced mind, and should awake every
American from his lethargy, to a true sense
of the dangers, that menace us. If they do
not, then-indeed, is there but little hope for
our country.

T0e2ext Presidency. Already the Loco
foc'o papers arc beginning to speculate in re
gird othe next Presidency, and the. friends
of the several candidates have commenced the
usual system o( wire-pulling which will soon
be in' full operation. ? The most prominent
candidates in that party are, first, of course,
the mighty Pierce, who having been once el
ected for fainting in Mexico, has now the addi
tional laurels gathered from the achievment of
of Greytown to adorn his heroic brow, which
alone must inevitably secure his re-election.
Such splendid qualifications cannot, of course,
be overlooked. Next, we have James Buchan
an, at present United States Minister to the
Court of St. James, and the same illustrious
individual who once attempted to let the last
drop of Democratic blood from his veins! Af
ter Mr. Buchanan, cornea George M. Dallas,
who gave the memorable casting vote in the
Senate on the TarrlfT question, and for the pur
pose of gaining friends in the South, turned
traitor to his own Pennsylvania, and to every
other Northern Manufacturing State ! Next,
we suppose, comes Henry A. Wise, of Virgi
nia, who was never thought of as a candidate,
until since the recent election in that State.
We don't think he stands much chance' of the
Aomination, as his political friends have alrea
dy got more than enough of him. Following
Mr. Wise, we have Ex-Gov. Mabct, of New
York, who chaiged the Government fifty cents
for patching the !eat of his breeches ! Won
if "Scratchy" couldn't get such a chance?
Then we have Ex-Gov. Seymour of New York,
Col. Butler of Kentucky, Ex-Senator Dick
inson of New York, Atchinson of Missouri,
LakeoI Ohio,and the great immortal "Stephen
arnold doughus" of Illinois ! with a host of
smaller fry, 'too numerous to mention.' We
ought not, perhaps, to omit the name Ex-Gov.
Bigler, as the editors of the "Orgin" .will
doubtless hoist his name, considering him, as
they do, not only fit for President, Lut for Pope !
Such, then, is the brilliant galaxy, from
whence, doubtless, will come the next Locofo
co candidate for the Presidency. That Pierce
will be the man is not to be expected, tho' he
relies upon the official patronage of the Gov
ernmeut, and will no doubt be urged by all the
office-holders and employees, Mho always know
which side of their bread is buttered. But his
Administration has been so utterly weak and
contemptible, so pusillanimous and fickle, that
he could not possibly receive the united votes
of his own party, which fact is so apparent as
to. render his chances for the nomination ut
terly hopeless.
But whoever the candidate may be, it be
comes us to be prepared by harmonizing our
forces, and modifying our platform so as to
make it National. That we have all the.ele
raents of success, cannot, for, a moment, be
doubted, but if we continue to be cut up into
factions with sectional notions and adrodating
different isms, we may as well ."hang our harp
on the willow." It will be useless to go into
the contest, for certain defeat must be the in
evitable consequence. We must unite upon a
sound platform, that has for its only object the
protection of our Nationality, ofour Religion,
and our hearths, that will secure to us and to
our posterity the blessings of civil and religi
ous liberty, and enable us to transmit our glo
rious Union unimpared, down to the millions
who shall come after us, and' who maj- gather
and rest beneath its broad a'gis, "till the last
syllable of recorded time !" . .

On the 20th September the Emperor addres
sed the following rescript to Count Zarewsky,
Military Governor of Moscow :
'Count Arsene Andreivitch : Since my
accession to the throne of my ancestors it has
been my lively desire to visit my ancient cap
ital, that loyal and beloved residence, where I
was-born and where I received baptism under
the protection of the relics of the blessed
Alexis, the thaumaturgus of Moscow. .
Having to-day satisfied that deshe, I have
witnessed with the greatest satisfaction the
cordial and sincere empressineut which the in
habitants of Moscow have sliown in their re
ception of myself and all my family, a tradi
tional welcome which Russia has always given
to her Sovereigns. I charge you to expres8
my sincere gratitude to all classes of the pop
ulation of Moscow, and to assure them of my
good will. -My Lappiness would have been
complete, if recent events had not dimmed the
satisfaction of these sweet moments.
"My order of the day to the Russian armies
has already made public that after an unex
ampled siege of 11 months, the garrison of
Sebastopol, after having given unheard of
proofs of courage and self-denial, and having
successfully -repulsed six desperate assaults,
has crossed over to the north side of the town,
only leaving "blood stained ruins" to-the en
my. The garrison of Sebastopol has done all
that man could do.
"I accept past and present events as the im
penetrable decrees of Providence, which has
given a year of sad trial to Russia. . But Rus-.
sia has supported still greater trials, and the
Lord, in his great mercy has always given her
his tacit support. Let us, therefore, now also
place our trust in him.
"He will defend orthodox Russia, who has
taken up arms for a just cause for the cause
ofChristianity. It is a great satisfaction to
me to see the unceasing proofs which all men
are giving in their readiness to sacrifice their
property, their families, and even the last drop
of their blood, for the maintenance of the in
tegrity of the empire and for the national ho
nor, V

ments of the nation, in these acts that I derive
strength and consolation, and uniting myself
inseparably with my heart to my heroic ..and

Ireland for the Irish America for
Americans. The broad doctrinal ground oc
cupied by Disill O'Connell, when he afll.nr.
ed that Ireland should be governed by Irish
men, is precisely the same upon which we
have always been found. . The doctrine is one
th it appeals so strongly to the common sense
of every sensible man, that the only wonder is
that in a community like ours there should be
found a single individual, born on American
soil, who avows or obtains an adverse opinion.
There is scarcely a nation upon earth where
this doctrine is not fully recognised and acted
upon. Iu the countries of enlightend Europe,
as well as those of benighted Africa, the prin
ciple prevails universally, and the occupancy
of an office of honor, trust or profit, of any
sort, ly a native of any other nation or coun
try, would be an anomaly. In the United
Staes alone has this universal principle leen
discarded, and we alone may be regarded as
thus violating what amounts almost to a law of
nature. The character and complexion of our
mixed population is the undoubted cause of
this strange departure from a rule so proper
and so necessary 'to the safety and ultimate
prosperity of any n tion. The raj. id influx of
foreigners from every section of the world,
during the earlier period ofour national his
tory, and the ease with which they have leen
allowed to become legal citizens, entitled to
all the rights a::d privileges of those born on
the soil, have hitherto prevented the recogni
tion aud adoption, as a national measure, of
the doctrine that Americans shall rule Ameri
ca. The necessity existing fir one or the
other great political parties to .secure the aid
of the foreign vote in order to carry out their
plans has induced them altern itely to yield
their better judgment to the prejudices of those
whose assistance they sought, and this great
foreign strength, thus vascilating from one
side to the other, has managed thus far to
stunt the growth of this natural principle of
government aud prevent its influences from
spreading toucu an extent as to become rec
ognized and embodied in our Supreme Consti
tution. The time, however, has come at last,
when the vitality of this principle will no
longer be restrained, but is bursting-all the
Itouds that have hitherto kept it in obeyance.
Its artributes possess such an endurance that
its progress cannot be checked, and the re
sponsc'it meets in every honest heart it ene
t rates will soon render, its. triumph complete.
It needs no spirit of prophecy to predict a pe
riod in our national history, not now very far
in the future, when all our executive'; legisla
tive and judicial offices will be filled by men
whose blood has drawn no nourishment except
from American soil and American air. .

Cumberland. Oct. 16. Our town has. for
the past twenty lour hours fx . m -iii the most
intense excitement, occMuiied ty two ol the
most appalling and unprovoked murdera on
record, the whole object being, it is supposed,
plunder. The victims are Dr. J. F. lladel.
formerly health officer of Baltimore, but t,r
the last three years a practising physician ol
this city, and a young mau in his office, named
Henry Graf. A German pedlar, lately Irom
Pittsburgh whose name is not known, has been
arrested, charged ' with ' the murder,; t and
against whom the testimony . is so strong that
he would almost be lynched if possession
could be had of him by the outraged commu
nity. .
.It appears that on Monday evening the body
of young Graf as found in the mountains, a
short distance from town, bearng evidence of
having been killed by a gunshot wound. The
body was recognized and brought to towu, and
on inquiry, it was ascertained that Dr. lladel
was also missing, and inquiry was made of bis
friends in Baltimore without obtaining any in
formation; in relation to him. .In the mean
time a German in-dlar was arrested on suspi
cion of murdering Mr. Graf, ami on searching
him the watch Hiid chain, packet book and
clothing of Dr. lladel were found in his pos
session, leaving no doubt as to his having met
with the same late as bis unfortunate young
friend.
The murderer was arrested at 12 o'clock on
Monday night, and the most intense excite
ment existed until daylight this morning,
wheu a large body of citizens started oi.t to
search for the body of Dr. Ilud.-l. This search
was continued until about 10 o'clock this
morning, when the body was found in the
mountains, hoiribly mutilated. He had been
stripped naked, his head cut off from Lis body,
and stabbed, besides the mark of having been
shot through the back of the- neck. The head
is still missing, and it is supposed that the
murderer has concealed it in order to prevent
the identification of the body.
It appears that the German pedlar who has
been arrested on the charge of leing the -pcr-letrator
of this horrible massacre is a stranger
in Cumlerlaiid, and has been boarding at a
fanner's house by the name of Steel. ne .r town,
for some days past. On Sunday morning,
between 9 and-10 o'clock, this stronger and
the doctor were seen going over the bridge in
the direction where the latter was murdered,
and Mr. and Mrs. Steel say that this man cal
led and got his gun a'ont that hour, and it is
believed he enticed the dotor out by telling
him some one was very ill, and. shot him
through , the back of his neck, as ' his coat,
found in the possession of the. supposed mur
derer, had the mark of a bullet through the
collar. j -
After murdering the doctor, it is supposed
he returned to Steel's, as the latter says he
brought his gun back alout no"on, and imme
diately started towards Cumberland. He was
next seen in the doctor's office, in Cumberland
by a gentleman who called there to inquire for
the doctor. Graf was there with" him, and
on the gentleman's inquiring fur the doctor,
he was told by Graf that he was out in the
mountains, and had met with an accident hav
ing fallen in the water. It was supposed that
the murderer bad told Graf this tale and that
the doctor had sent to him to bring him some
dry clothes, The murderer and Graf were
seen in the afternoon going in ihe sime direc
tion Mr. Graf carrying a bundle with him.
Mr. Steel alse says that this man,, and Graf
came to his bouse, and the man got his gun
again, and they went on up the mountain to-,
gether. Two other gen Iemen also say that
tln'y passed them together on the mountain,
and five minutes afler heard" the report ;Of a
gun. .
The body of Graf was found with a gunshot
wound in the back, and he had !eon beaten
over the bead," it is supposed, dying in a fVw
moments. The accused returned the gitn and
the bundle which Graf had with him, to Steel's
ag iin. and left them there. Ills name is un
known. Further Part toularsTha Head of Dr.
lladel Found.
CcMBKRLANr, Oct. 16. 3 P. M. The search
for the head of Dr. lladel has been continued
throughout the day. and a narty h ;v- just ar
rived having foundtho head buried s -me dis
tance from where the body was found.
It appear- that the German arrested was
seen in Dr. Hadel's office on Saturd iy . even
ing. When arrested there was found in his
possession the doctor's gold watch, bis seal
ring with his name upon it. together with all
his clothing, books, &c. He acknowledged
the stealing the goods from bis office in Sun
day night, but denies Having seen or murder
ed the doctor and Mr. Graf. The supposition
is that, af ter having murdered the doctor, 1 e
enticed Mr. Graf out and murdered him also,
in order that be might more easily rob the of
fice, as both of them nsually slept in the room
over the office, Mrs. lladel and her children
being absent on a visit to their friends in Bal
timore. The accused had in his possession a
large number of books and valuables from the
office.
A Mr. Dawson, who is here from West Alex
ander, recognizes the prisoner as an old offen
der. He says he was imprisoned at that place
for robbing a store, but broke jail and made
his escape to Pitsburgh. where he stole a
horse, and was re-arrested and brought back
to West Alexander, and succeeded a second
time in breaking j.iil and making his escape.
He Is now heavily ironed, an I every prec 111
tlon will b taken to prevent his escape from
the punishment that his bloody work demands.
The body of Dr. lladel has leen , taken
charge of by the Odd Fellows anil Masons, in
the absence of his family, and wjll .be s-nt
down to B iltimore tonight in charge of Mr.
Butlnr. who has been delegated to accompany
it. Mr. Graf was originally from New York
where his mother resides. He lived in Balti
more a short time.
Outrages in K ansas. The election iu Kan
sas on the 1st instant, in which the free state

by some ouragons proceedings at Leaven

hat the aeciibed t e I ni:gbt- from prison ti.:t
i e n.iglit o: jwet to tho ni inner ol choi ring the
Gr ind . iny. and to chalenge tor cause'. One
ol the Grand Jurors was engaged with Clark
in the attack ou M Crea when the latter shot
him. Notwithstanding this fact the Judge
overruled every motion for defendant, and al
so refused to sign a bill of exceptions, or ex
plain by what rule be selected the 16 Grand
Jurors. The Grand Jury was then sworn and
the Court adjourned. Next morning Le
compte secretly added three more to the jury.
On Thursday afternoon the Grand Jury came
into court for instructions iu the M'Cre case.
Instead of publicly instructing them the
Judge sent them back to their room, and del
egated R. R. Rees. the Chairman of the Ruf
fian mob that attacked Philips, to instruct
them in their duties. . Being still divided,
they again forced their foreman to lead them
into Court. The foreman, who is one of the
fire eaters under Stringfellow, Atchison & Co..
was exceedingly angiy at their obstinacy, and
as they came into court exclaimed, "They
can't agree ; three are for a presentment for
murder, five for m n slaughter, and eleven
against finding any bill." This announcement
produced a great sensation in Court, and the
Judge, without instructing the jury that in
such a case they should return tho bill "igno
red," sent them back "to their room and caus
ed other business to bo brought before them.
A majority of the jury, however, being in fa
vor of ignoring the bill against M"Crea refa
sed to act upon any other business until his
case was finally disposed of, and therefore re
turned again .and again into court without ma
king any presentment. This was continued
till Saturday, when the Judge, perceiving that
he, to go ou with the business before him,
must do justice to M'Crea by giving the jury
p'roper instinct ions, dismissed the Grand Ju
ry, and adjourned the Court until the second
Monday in November. Such an adjournment
is not legal, being authorised by no statute,
and is, in fact, a dissolution of the Court. As
such it vas doubtless intended, in order to de
tain M Crea in prison until next spring, that
another effort may be organized to pack a
Grand Jury. The baseness of the Judge - has
not been unobserved, nor will : it pass without
notice. A petition will be presented to the
President praying, for his lemoval on the
ground of corruption and imbecility in office,
and thfMr is not a single attorney of respecta
bility in the Territory who will not sign it.
When this man came to the Territory the
people looked upon him with hope and confi
dence ; but ever since he sold an extra-judicial
opinion for an-interest in the proposed lo
cation for the Capital, public opinion has has
tily changed toward him. Since his encour
agement of the ruffians of this neighborhood,
by showing a disposition to frown down all
cliarges brought against them, the citisens of
tho town have fonnd it necessary to appoint a
special police, and the greater part of the ci
tizens are oblige 1 to carry arms to defend
themselves from outrage.
t. S. The night after the Court adjourned,
Hughes, the captain of the ruffians who mobbed
Mr. Phillips, was seen with a gun prowling
aiound the house of Mr. P, from midnight uu
til four in the morning. It is supposed that a
bind ol lawless Missourlans are concealed in
the bush near the towu. awaiting an opportu
nity to attack our citizens and destroy the prin

hundred well-armed citizens are prepared to

The Harvest in Germany. Price ofGrain
and B.iead. Tue Washington Union publish
es, under the State Department head, -gome
information respecting the crops of Germany:
"The harvest is over. The result isaruid
ling crop of rye the most important crop in
Germany and a good one of wheat. The po
tatoes have generally done well. Fruits are
more abundant than they have leen sine the
year 1874. There is an immense quantity of
plum, pears, apples, kc. Notwithstanding
nil this, tLe pr:ce of bread rises higher from
diy today, n:d the poorer classes are suffer
ing so severely as to create a fear of riots and
revolt., particularly towards, the end of the
coming winter. There have already lieen
promonitory symptoms in some of the cities,
as Mayence aud Mansheim. Large convoys
of corn have been sent from Hungary and Ga
licia ; but as the war will hinder the arrivals
from he Black Sea, the scarcity will bs-come
greater, perhaps than last year. America is
now the only country in the world capablo of
supplying the wants of Germany. Notwith
stiuding the present necessities of the coun
try, the emigration to America is at a very
low scale. There are two reasons for this :
Th war has in a measure emptied France, and
even England partly, of young men, aud espe
cially of those belonging to the working class
es. The Germans, instead of crossing the sea,
find it more advantageous to emigrate to
neighboring countries, where their labor is
wanted and well remunerated. The other rea
son is to be found in the American party
movemont. which the Gerinau papers make
the best of, in order to divert the stream of
emigration from the United States."
Is There a Foreign Parti ? Tuesday's
doings have answered this question, with an
emphasis that will never be forgotten. Thou
sands of moderate and careful citizens, who
have heretofore disposed to -receive with great
allowance, or absolute" indifference, the fre
quent warnings of the American press, as the
mere exaggeration of partizanship, have been
suddenly startled and astounded into both at
tention and conviction. No mau in his senses
can hereafter pretend to doubt the existence
of a powerful, thoroughly-drilled and thoroughly-organized
foreign Catholic party in
the Stato of Pennsylvania, whose cohorts are
ready to march en masse at the bidding of their
leaders, and to neutralize, by their farudulent
and illegally-obtained papers, the votes of the
nafive freemen and citizens of the soil. Know
ing and feeling this, who can doubt the conse
quence of such knowledge f We regard it as
truly fortunate something for which we ought
to be thankful ihat this all-essential and one
great act in the political position of the coun
try, has been discovered this year, instead of
next. We are' yet in time to sweep the State
and Union, with a genuine, native-American
whirlwind, in 1856! Philadelphia Times.

quiet for about an hour after the polls were
opened, when a number of persons, led on hy
Country Thompson, mad their Hj-peaiance, and
attempted to take possession of the p.l!s.
This demonstration aroused a Fpirit of re
sistance on the part of the Americans, aud ti e

jamin Eccleston and others of them hiving
been severely bruised. After this disturbance
matters were very quiet till about -2 o'clock
when a number of persons, of whom Thomp-.
son and George Konig were the leaders, ccm
menced an attack at the corner of Fremont
and Saratoga streets, two squares dist int from
the polls, which resulted in the ahoot '.ng of
several jeons.
The origin of this disturbir.ee we could not
learn, but as soon ns it was di.covered, the

with about thirty of his subordinates, sent a

house when it was discovered that l.e had t-ecn
shot, a ball having entered his back above ti-.o

He was taken to the Western station Lousu
and subsequently removed to his residence in
the Second Ward. He is considered to ba
dangerously wounded. At the time of Li ar
rest, a large bowie knife was removed from
his person.
During this riot a man named John Clark
was shot in the leg below the knee ; the ball
was extracted, and he is now considsd out of
danger. John Gowan was shot in the left
side. He is not cons dered to be dang-ronsly-injured.
Alexander Kutherfoid was slightly
injured by a ball striking him on the boot. A

ftate that yesterday morning an a;plic.i:o:i
was made by the counsel of Passmohe Wil

and filing among the records of the Court ot"
an affidavit of Williamson. In replv.tl.e Ji-.ilg-j.

Williamson, engaged in their legitimate cal--.

recent opinion of judge Kane on the petition1,
of Jane Jonson,-will readily appreciate the
higu handed conduct of Judge Kane on this
occasion, and understand what bearing it ronsf

.Mr.. Williamson's counsel owe it to him. and?
to themselves, as well as to the community,
to give immediate publicity to the contents of
this affidavit, in order that this monstrous -desecration

Heroism r a oa in the Crimea. The foli
lowing account of the exploits of a dog in the
Crimea, which we translate from the Gazette
of Trieste, surpasses everything heretofore re-;
corded of the devotion and bravery of this no-.
blc animal: .
"A great sensation has been caused in thef
camp of the allies by the heroic deeds of a dog
belonging to Colonel Metmann,rf the 7Sd re-c
giment of the line. On the 16th of August;,
d iring the battle'of the Tchernaya, the quad-,
raped broke his chain, fought inthe ranks of
the army, saved the life of a sergeant and -a '
soldier, "and took three Russian prisoners.-?
A ball struck his foot, but tbe woundonly-.
embittered the animal the more. He tbrew
himself upon a Russian officer, flung him' to
the ground, and dragged him prisoner by the'
coat collar to the French. A phyaician ha
bound up tbe wound, and the four-footed h-r-is
convalescing. He will- probably receive,
seme mark of honor, as another dog in the
English army has been rewarded with a medal'
for his devotion to his master."
