and perseverance— to get him across the
mountains to Bloody Run. On Friday he
was very ill, having steadily refused food
for several days. He left has} on Suturday

Hannibal was the lurgca‘t mnmul .evvr

A Negro Mother Poisons her two Chil
‘ dren with Strychnine.
' [From the Cincinnati Inquirer of 20m}
“ About a week ago last Sunday, two col
ored children, named Grenville Graves,
tged two years and four months, and Wm.
en‘ry Graves, aged one year and two
months, died suddenly at. the residence of
Mr. Simpson, near Cheviot. in this county.
The death of the children. and the action
of their mother, FrancPs Grues. who was
in the employment of Mr. 8., led to the
conviction that. the children had died an
unnatural death. ~
Coroner Carey was notified, the mother
was put under arrest, and an inquest was
held. A post mortem examination was
held. and the manifest presence of poison
was discovered. Thejurors returned their
verdict yesterday. viz: “That Grenville
and Willmn Henry Graves came to their
deethe from the efi'ects ot‘ atrychnine ad.
ministered by their mother, wilfully and
intentionally, and thereby procuring their
death."
‘ This unfortunate woman was about nine
month: use a. slave, and belonged to Ex-
Senator Graven: resident of Boone county,
Kentucky. Since her liberation she has
wandered around from place to plnce,‘ and
was at Mrs. Simpson's when she adminisc‘
tend the strychnine to her only two chil
dren, for the purpose of getting them our.
of her way. and under the pretense, as she
alleges, that theywould be better off. She

A LETTER FROM EX-PRESIDENT
BUCHANAN.
[From the Lancaster Intelligencefi]
Since this war begun, no man in the
whole country has been so much vilified,
lied ugon, andAabused as ex-President
James uchaunn. The most. baselesschnr
ges have been constantly made against him,
and the most unlikely untruchs reported.
until no doubt nome'honest people believed
them. It seemed to be useless for Demo-
and other democratic newspapers. but. re~
viveg! again only a few days since by the
New York Post. The letter first appeared
in the New .York Tribune of Wednesday.
There is not. one of the calumnies against
Mr. Buchanan with which the Abolition
newspapers have delighted to fill their col
umns, which cannot be as fully and com
pletely rciutcd as the above baseless charge.
This Wlll yet be done to the entire satisfac
tion of candid men of All parties. Impar
tial history will vindicate his fame, and set
\his public career in such a. light. that. it shall
at once be known and recognized through
out ghe future as pure, wise, and eminently
pairioiic :‘ ' ‘

and made a set speech, in which lie pr

I any other subject, such an act would have

l A . few words in regard to the alleged [
l “dead lock" in the Cincinnati Convention i
l at the time of its adjournment, on the eve
. ning of the sth ofJune, after fourteen bal
ilots had been taken for 8 candidate. It
appears from its proceedings, as otficially
giblished, that on each of these balloting,
r. Buchanan received a plurality, and on
the sixth 'attained a majority of all the votes
of the Convention; but 'not the required
l two-thirds. On the fourteenth and last
i ballot of that evening, the vote stood 152}
for Buchanan ; 75 for Pierce; 63 for Ron
glss; and 5} for Case. This being the te
of‘ho case, when the Convention assem
bled‘xhe next morning the New Hampshire
delegation withdrew the name of General
Pierce and the Illinois delegation with
drew that of Judge Douglas, in obedience
to the instructions from home by telegraph
on the day bafore the balletings had com
, menced. After this the nomination of Mr.
l Buchanan seemed to be a matter of course.
1119 had never heard at a “dead lock” in
l the Convention or anything like it, until
lhe read the article in The Post ,_ ___ _
It may be proper to state that 001. Samuel
W. Black, of Pittsburg, Was a delegate to
the Cincinnati Convention from Pennsylva
nia, and being well known as a ready and
eloquent speaker, “shouts were raised”. for
a speech from him, immediately after the
nomination was announced. To these be
briefly responded in en able and en thusias
tic manner. From the identity of their sur
nameq. had this response, xeported with
the proceedings, contained the infamous
pledge attributed to Judge Black, or any
thing like it, we might in charity have in
ferred that the author of the article had
merely mietaken the one name for the
other. But there is nothing in what Col.
Black said which affords the least color for
any such mistake.
' Col. Black afterwards sealed his hostility
toSecession with his blood. At an early
stage of the war, he fell mortally wounded
on the field of battle, while gallentiy lead

TWO. DOLLARS A‘YEAK
THE DEKOGBATIC PARTY.
“The life and strength of the old Demo
cratic party wee its natiunal spirit. From
its earliest history this never failed to assert
itself clearly. fervently, we may say, indeed,
fiercely. on every question involving the
preservation. or the enlargement, or the
honor a'nd glory of the country. In our
great controversies with» England, with
France, with Mexico, it was peculiarly the
war party. In every minor dispute with
other nations, it was always the partyzmost
apt to plant itself on high pretensions and
extremeeleims. In our domestic sfi'sirs.
it was the party that always labored mast err
neatly to put down sectional discord, and to strength
en the bomb qftlte Unim't.”
The above extract is from slate number
of the New York Times, as bitter s partisan
Abolition newspaper as there is one in the
country. Let every mun-who fondly hopes
for the extinguishm tot" the grant Demo
cratic party read it ; %every one who pre
dicts its death ponder it well. It is a c ear
recognition of the wisdom and patriotism
of the past course of the Democratic pnrty,
and, by plain implication. is condemnation
of those who, like the New York Times.
; ‘ ve stood opposed to it. It is much for!
,on rent political party to he nhle to pre
sent z ecord ofpast history so pure and-l
fair lhn at even its hittcrest Opponents‘
can success lly attack it. Such is the re
cord, of the >- t mocrntic party in the post. I
It is historic no , written where it can nev
‘ er be emced. inde -ly impressed upon the '
minds of this nation hrough many years
ofn rule that was nlwo happy. pencefn i

burned this truth in upon th- u inds of is
people as if in letters of fire. ’
Under the administration oft‘ = 'emo
cretic party the country was so wise uled,
that we could say we were the be gov 11-
ed people on the earth, hecaus-lenstgo--1
erned. No good citizen felt the power of
the Government forced upo him, and its l
burtheus pressed so lightly s not to he no

it“ its bounden duty. While it was in
1 nwer boy were all secure, even to the,
: umhieslgiéizen. Since the war which la- 1
nsticism b yght upon the country begun,
the.l)emocrs ' party has been almost the l
sole champion o ’ndividunl rights. While ‘
with one hand it 3 e. without stint, to the
Federal Government its men and its means i
to suppress the rebellion, with the other}
it held in check, so for as igwns able, every l
attempt to destroy the liberties of the pee i
ple, or to imps‘ir the rights of‘the individ
ual citizen. Amid the fierce storm which i
raged it stood firm, determined not to
yield the incl-ed rights ofthe citizen to the
grasp ofhrbitrnry power, without pronoun
cmg its protest and doing all it could to;
check the advance of the enemies oi liber
ty. Abused, rewled, threatened~seeing
men thrust into prison without form of law,
and detained or released as the caprices of
those in power dictated—it still protested
boldlyontld fearlessly. It contented itself
{of the ,time being with protests alone.
Why? Because it feared to do more than i
this? Nay. verily. It knew always that it i
had the physical resources at command to 1
put an end to all such acts of despotic“
power in, a most summary manner. Why i
did it not use them? Does any one need ‘
to ask I ' ltms because it chose to sum-r
shame, andoutrnge even, for the time being,
rather than complicates the difficulties un
der which the nation was struggling. In
this. as in all else, it was mo'ved hy deep-l
seated devotion to the best interests'oi’ the
people. It waited patiently and hopefully 1
forLthe return of calmer times. being sure
that with the’ subsidence of— passion the
people would hear the words of wisdom“
and no longer turn a deaf ear to the coun
sels of reason. _ > i
Thank God, the mists nfpassion nnd de
lusion are being repidl’y scattered. the po
litical sky is clearing, the night of terror is
passing away, we hope never to return
again. The people wl l now hear words of
truth and eoberness. they will listen to
them, they willcheriah them, they will act
upon them, Jealousy of their civil rights
will again speedily become the distinguish
ing characteristic of the American citizen.
They will not allow a single one of those
rights to be touched by the hand ofsrbitrs
my power. The sooner those in authority
recognize the swekenin of this spirit the
better for them. The guy for arbitrary er
rests and for substituting military tribunals
for court: of justice is past. The sooner
all concerned recognize this for a fact the
better. .
The film of passion and delusion which
has darkened the vision of many good men
is dispersing, and the day is not far distant
when the wise and inst grinciples of the
Democratic party will be in the ascendent
and the helm of the ship of State once more
in its hands. Then will the new ere ofpeace
and harmony be permanently established,
and our country will enter upon 3 career of
prosperity which will blot out the ravages
of four years of war. while it hurries into
merited oblivion the names of all those who
were instrumental in bringing it about.—
