"Tarn! IS MIMITY, AND WILL PRIWAIL."
An Aristocratic Oilcan Grinder.
About five years ago Count •Bulinskoff,
Russian noblemaa, was accused of political
crimes. An edict was issued confiscating
his estates and consigning him and his family
to the wilds of Siberia. Fortunately the
Count heard of the matter before it was too
late. and succeeded in embarking, with hir
wife and daughter, on bourd of a brig bound
for the United States. In the hurry of their
flight they were unable to take anything with
them but a few valuables, which barely suffi
ced to pay for their passage. They landed
in New York city, penniless and friendless.
How they gut along afterwards and finally
wound up with the biggest kind of a fortune,
we prefer to let a New Yurk contemporary
tell in its own way :
In this predicament the Count bethought
of turning the musical talepta of his family
to account. He procured an organ for him
self, a violin for his wife, and a tamborine
for his daughter. by pawning portions of their
clothing. , The trio then went out, singing
and playing from door to door, and their
aristocratic manner, which erect their humble
occupation but lily disguised, procured fur
them much more liberal support than is usu
ally given, to itinerant musicians. Their
gains were so considerable that in t h e space
of four years they had laid by money sufficient
to purchase a house for $12,0J0 in the Six
teeth Ward, and two weeks ago signed the
title deeds in the office of a lawyer in this
city. Ity the last mail the Count received
despatches acoording him a full pardon. with
the restoration of hid estates. 'Nett week
the Count will revisit his native land, taking
with him, howetar, his muaoil companions
in adverpity. This is a true scary."—Louie

following, which is not had, either as a story

During the exciting campaign of 18—, in
Illinois, a prominent politician made a disnu
ion speech at Quincy. After he was through,
and before the crowd bad dispersed, a man
who styled himself "The afores.id M. D,"
was called for. He was lifted on the stand.
so "elevated" that he could not stand without
holding on to something. He said:
"Gentlemen and ladies, your talkin' of die

of said State. The State Committee had
agreed upon a perfe.aly fair and honorable
plan of cooperation between the Breckenridge

tion and the Piesidentaal election, which Mr.
)'arts, one of the elect peal ticket appointed
before the Charleston Convention, flatly repu

Mr. Welsh ansv.,ers him like a practioal man,
who deal not care to do the work of the

who prefers to save his own party if he can.
We are toll that Mr. Vaux nits some griev

sir. , Recognizing the Seceders"--" reoog
ailing the seneders"—is the constant plea
of those friends of Mr. Donglas, who oppose
the Union Ticket. It's all bosh—it's foolish
ness to act the fool ootrit,ht in matters of
this importanoa. For the askant theireprofes
sad fairness, we hope this ore of " recogni•
sing the seceders" will not again be made.—
It is not trite that the Union Ticket recogni
zes any preference for the seceders' ticket,
only against the Lincoln ticket. Is that an
alarming choice for Democrats? Is it recog
nising bolters, to prefer them to the common
enemy? No Democrat, who is not influen
t:ad by the spirit of revenge against the sece
ders, will object to the Union ticket, as fairly
recommended by the State Committee. The
difference of opinion between Denise and
Breckinridge Democrats, is only upon the
single question of territorial sovereignty, and
it is not the wish of the masses of their party
to be defeated in every thing, for the sake of
defeating each other in this particular: Ole
question must not crush out hundreds of
other questions of equal importance. Ours
is not the one idea p trig, and can never be.—
The Democrats must choose between the
Union ticket and defeat. The enemies of our
party. the worst men in the. Republican
ranks, oppose the joint electoral ticket.—
Their notive is apparent, and the Democrats
cannot fail to understand the desips of Gree
ley, Forney, Raymond, Giddings, mad their
followers, in opposing it.— Wayne Co: Mend&
A Falsehood Refuted
" The last exhibition" of mendacity given
by the Press, is the abandoned statement in
yesterday's editionjn reference to the removal
of the book shambler of John Campbell from
the Custom noose property. Contemplated
alterations requiring that the avenue should
be cleared, and notice having been given se
oordingly, the circumstance is seised upem by
this reckless libeller to add another and more
malicious falsehood to the hundreds that
have heretofore polluted that sheet. If Col
lector Baker eoutd have been affected by
political considerations, Mr. Campbell's vio
lent course and language as to everybody
about the Custom House would have fully
justified his ordering away for more than
two years past ; but no such importance
would be given to it. Now when the wants
of the government require the premises to be
vacated, not all the foul lanpage familiar to
a Billingsgate tongue, nor the hideous de
pravity which revels in mendacity, can de
ter the Collector from the strict performance
of his duty.—Phila. Penusyksania.
All the Radical Abolitionists for Lincoln.
It is an old saying that what a man is may
be told by the company you find him in;
another, that birds of a feather flock together.
The Anti-Slavery Convention in Boston,
some days ago, retitled the nomination of Lin
coln. That Convention was composel of such
men as Wendell Philips, Win t s o yd Garrison.
and others of that ilk—Philips who.declorol
John Brown's scaffold more glorious than
Christ's cross—Garrison, who pronounoed
the United Antes Constitution a "league with
death and a covenant with hell." Such men
ratify the nomination of Lincoln.

who would hail that event as "the dawn of a
political millenium." Well, Joshua is on the
stump for Lincoln. Ho has spoken at the

Mr. Winslow, from the Covode ecnissaitteei
made an able and elaborate report, in the
Moose of,. Representatives, previous to silt
joarnment, in whisk he gives a summuy oC
the subjects embraced in the resolutions un
der which the committee was sprinted, and
reviews the proceedings of the mipority ditto
committee, showing a systematie disregard
of the established principles ofj natio* towards
the individuals against whom the resolutions
were aimed. He shows that many of the in.
quiries were based on anonymous letters tea
the chairman of the committee ; that exami
nations were made contrary to the rules of
evidence and the orders of the committees
that accusations were invited and encouraged;
that leading questions were systematically
propounded ; in short, that all the most
odious features of an ex park, secret inquisi=
thin, characterized from first to last the pro
ceedings of the committee, and afforded evi
dence that it was not an honest search after
Wuth, but a hunt fur defamatory matter to be
used fur electioneering purposes in the arr.
preaching election. Mr. Winslow then pro
eneds to examine, seriatim, the principle sub
jects investigated before the committee, in
the following order: •
let. The l'nblie Binding.—Mr. Winslow
explains the law on this subject, and shows
there has been no violation of its provisions
by any officers of tho government, and that
an absurd story, told by a man named Petti
bone, about an endorsement being changed
on a memorial addressed to the President,
and referrer. to the Attorney General, was al
tovether false.
2,41. The Public .Priatiao.—Mr. Winslow
exhibits the state of the law in respect to the
1111tblie printing •, that the only printing pat
ronage in the hands of the Executive was
that of the postoffee blanks ; that although
this was expressly authorised to he given to
printers residing out otthe District of ‘lorlent
hi a, no crder was made in respect to it, under
Mr. Buchanan's Administration, until some
time after Congress met in December, 1867 •
that the patronage had always been bestowe d
by all political parties upon party editors,
and that the House of Representatives have
done the same thing at the present session of
Congress; that there were many applicants
for the printing, among whom wore John W.
Forney, Wm. Rice, Wendell, and others;
that it was given by the Postmaster General,
on the 31st of December, 18.57, to Wm. Rice,
who made a contract with Wendell Cur doing
the work and sharing the profits ; this was a
private contract between Rice and Wendell,
in which the government had no interest, and
with which the President had nothing to do ;
that Wendell afterwards undertook to divitle
the profits, so ns to give some to Severna, of
the Argus, and secure more for himself;
falsely pretending that he was authorised by
the President to do so, whereas he had nu
such authority, sad it was done at his own
volition, and for his own sordid purpose.
lie p roceeds to show that the stories told
by Wendell, who was examined eight times,
are contradictory is themselves, and einetrio
dieted by others, and wholly unworthy , of
credit; and he =kits a comparison of Wee
dell's testimony on this point, showing, in
parallel columns, how, oa three different ex
aminations, he swore to three different stories
about the same matter, and finally confessed
that the President had given him no order ur
authority on the subject, and that It wits, all
dune on his own volition.
Mr. Winslow then examines the Subject of
the printing in connection with Julia W.
Forney, showing that Forney and Wendell
contradict each other; that Webster is elm
tradietesi by his own letter and by I,ud4e
Block; that Forney wanted to hare charge
of "The Union" newspaper at Washington ;
that Mr. Buchanan was willing that he
should have it, but it was opposed by ilouth
ern gentlemen. Fortier, afterwards, for a
long time, solicited the printing of the pet.
office blanks from the President, through Mr.
Cobb, Judge Black, and other frieeds; that,
after his election at the present iessliin as
clerk of the lieu's, he threatened revenge
against the President in a public speech, in
which the President was shamefully reviled ;
and that the proceedings of the Covoile cote.
m,ittee were the means adopted to carry out
that revenge ; that all the charges against the
President in respect to the public printing
result from the malignant pessiuns of person
al enemies, disappointed offiee-seekers,,nud
political partisans; and that in nu fact oriiir
uumstance is there any just ground fur cen
sure or reproach against the President , and
his administration. •
The Lecompton Constilielion.—Mr. Winslow
next reviews' the history of the Leoomptou
constitution, and shows that there was no
thing dune by the President in regard to that
matter which wax not in the strict line of his
' constitutional and official duty. Tula, there
was no interference of any kind by the Presi
dent or any member of his adru•nistratien
against a full and fair expression of the pop
lar will ; that it is established clearly by all
the testimony that the President frankly ex
pressed his views on the subject, and was
sincere in the opinions he expressed, and that
he labored faithfully to carry out the pulley
that he believed to be consistent with the Cilal.
stitation, and essential to the peace and har
mony of the Union.
The English Bill.—Mr. Winslow examines
minutely the charge+ in respect to the use of
money to carry the Hoglish hill, and shies.
that so faxes regards the President or any
member of his administration they are atter•
ly groundless and false; that the idle stories
told by Wendell, whatever infamy they may
exhibit in himself, when they come to t,o sil
ted. affutd no evidence against the president
ur any officer of the guvel Inuit ;, lint, on the
eonntrary, his sincerity anti itrepriniehable
Conduct is established by the testimony of
Horace F. Clarke, Jutin 13. ll.wkiu , .uidiu.tny
other witnesses.

slow briefly reC e s to these subjects, and
shows that in till the testimony ou thew nu
thing has been tumid to east the leAllt WIWI
ur reproach upon the l'reshleat or any he.a..i
of a deportment ; that in respect to elections
all political parties have been in the habit's(
using money, but the evil can tinily be eurrec
