countries, and shades of opinions, are most
'cordially invited to juin with them in their
efforts to crush the Democratic party and as
sist in the elevation of themselves to Office

preservation of the Constituti9n and the

Trial of non. D. E. wawa.
The trial of Mr. Sickles, for the murder of
Key, at Washington, drew large crowds to
the Court-house during the past week.—
Counsel are able on both aides, and every
huh of ground is stoutly disputed.
llon. Robert J. Walker was on the witness
stand on Tuesday. Ilis vividly touching de
scription of the appalling condition of Sickle.,
when be saw bias after the confession of Mrs.
;tickles, resulted in scenes of almost sionlar
army. Mr. Walker was deeply nioved.end

power to the recital of his sad etpegence of
the memorable day, as he described the un
earthly screams, intermingled with the most
painful sobs he ever heard. and exclamations

Lim fear that Sickles was becoming insane;
and precisely at a quarter past twelve Mr.
Stu t on beg g ed the court permission for Mr.
Sides to retire. It was granted, and the
rising of Mr Sickles in the dock presented a
most heart-rending scene. The dreadful
ficts of the scene being so vividly recalled,
his feelings, when the first desolation of
house and family, the loss of wife„..and.She.•
disgrace of his innocent little daughter, fell
upon him—the deed done that proclaimed it
to ~he world, and all daguerrotyped in the first I

Governor Walker, was too much for the pris-

lagain. lie presented an appearance that at
once hushed with tender feeling, and excited
with a manly sympathy, the whole auditory.
lie was broken into tears, and the sobs of
uncontrollable anguish and contraction of his
frame, too evidently exhibited the symptoms
of a convulsion of sorrow. The effect was
marvellous. The witness, rdrea7dy deeply
moved on seeing the effect on the prisone-,
had to turn away to hide his emotion. Sev
eral of•the auditory buried their heads in
their hands, the e2.es of several of the law
yers. especially the friends of Mr. Sickles,
swam, and the effect on the jury was not lees
affecting than on Mr. Walker. Many openly
wept, some applied their handkere - hiefs to
their faces, and all were affected. Mr Sick.

[Bell, Esq., of New York, accompanied by
Lion. Emanuel B. Hart, and followed by his
father and others. lie had barely got into !
1 the ante-room, and the door closed upon him,
when the convulsion evidently reached its'
height, and the exerted anxiety of the court
room was kept alive by the sobs which
reached it from the It was a scent+ of
deep affliction, such as probably 'l3O man in
t h e assemblage had ever witnessed, and which
will never be eradicated from the minds of
those present.
The confession of Mrs. Sickles, In whist
she details the criminal interoourse between
Key and herself. running through a period
of several inonths-...raoogh to erase the

tar The Bogus Convention, as was expect
ed, passed resolutions denouncing the Ad
ministration of James Buchanan, and endors
ing that of W. F. Pecker. Also, as was look
ed fur—the decided Republican proclivities
of the participants being considered-,a reso
lution repudiating the platform and candi
dates (Wright and Rowe) of the Democratic
State ponvention : with another authorising
the appointment of a state Committee, to
whom the question of nominating a separate
tilket was referred. We may now export to
see some sharp management between this
Committee and the Optswition lenders, to ar
range the programme to their mutual satis
faction. The factionists are determined to
sell themselves for a good price—probably
the Governorship for Pecker, the United
States Senatorship fir Knox, and the print
ing of the next National house of Represen
tatives for Forney—but the tree Democracy
will be very apt to "spoil their calculations"
when the time to dispose of these trusts shall
arrive. The Convention was a most untniti :
