departed on rt visit to Belgium. The duke

Belgians. The Queen's failure to visit
Paris excited some discontent among thi-
people of that metropolis who were anxious
to pay her their respects. Her visit to

T/ie Mirldleloiwn Murder-.—— We have some
further intelligence from i‘vlirldle.town by the
cars of this noon. Lucien Hall, who, as we
ye-stcrday stated, was arrested in Meridan on
suspicion of being cnaged in the nitirder, is
still further iinplic.~.tcd, as since his arrest,
his clothes haire been found in the barn of
Mr. Samuel Yule, Esq. in Meiiden, covered
with blood. It is supposed the cut in his
hand was iiiflictt-d by Mrs. Bicrn. It is a
very severe wound. He was absent from
home on Sunday froui morning until late in
the afternoon. The week previous he had
been sent for by Bell and Roberts, and was
seen in their company on the day of the mur-
do-r.
\Vhen Hall called on the Doctor on Sab-
bath evening to get his haul sewed up, the
latter inqoir.-d why he had l'l9gl"Cl.l'd it all
day. Hall gave some unsatisfactory reply
and was so iuipatient to g- t away, yliat the
vrounl was very hastily dressed. It is said
that since his arrest he has lie»-n much agita
ted, and has wept considerably.
There h s not yet been any regular exam-
ination of the prisoners. There may be
iiiiich wisdom in the delay.
ll.ill h.is been once in State Prison for
burgl.-iry, and it is said thet he has recently
worked for some of the connections of the
late Mrs. Bacon and near her residence.

Battle with to Srta./.'e.—-As Mr. Zittu
Haivley (ii blind resident of this village) and
his son, were on Spruce Hill, in Ridgebiiry,
ycstcrd-'i_v, gathering roots, they startt-d up a
huge Black Sniikv-, which was in the act of
swallowing a squirrel. The first movement
ofthe serpent iriilic-at.-d a_ flight, but after
darting ofl'a short distance, it turn.--d, dropped
the squirrel. and cuuic towards the intruders
with a loud shrill whistle. In the surprise
of the moment the root gather-"sis had nr-g-
lected to grasp any suitable weapon to nice-t
their f0f‘.'Ill(li1l)l(? adversary, even Z-.it hap-
pened to be without his almost inseptirable
companion, his trusty cane. A seri s of
nimble evolutions, as Z.-it tells the story, en
sued. and in the melee the youth succeeded
in hitting the 1.-arminl with a stone, which
gave a decided advaiiirige to tire legs. The
heels of two stotit pair of boots wu re th-in
employed in a vigorous literal fulfilment
of an ancient prophecy. The Snake awas-
urt-d,. on the field of battle, izinefcel and ten

exception of the licad part, which was too
tiiucli jsirnmed, and we have now hanging

Testimony of Mr. Bacon, the /iusban(l.—
Mr. Bacon testified in sul-stance that his lam-
ily _C0llSlSlt"d of himself, his wife, agrd 46;
his sons Albert aged 25 and Charles 23; his
daughter Sarah, aged I6, and a boy who
lived with him. On Sunday, Sept. 24th the
boy went to drive a iieiglibor’s carriage to
cl'iurch,—soori afu r, twenty minutis past 10
o’clock, Mr. B. and his children went, leav-
ing M rs. B. alone. in the house, stiiiiding at
the door. The meeting house being two
mil. 5 distant, and the intt-rniission at noon
very short, the family did not return till’ al-
l.t- rniion service was over, about half past 3
o’clock. Alighting from their carriage. Sa
rah went in, caught a glimpse ofhcr iiothei’
lying dead and horribly woundt-d,went back
to the door and scrr-ained Oh iuotherl moth-
er~l’ and talked wildly, (Alas! poor girl--.it
liked to have proved too much for her reason.)
Mr. B. and his sons iniiiiediotely went«’ in.
The house ficcs the sout'n—lizis a front diioi*'
two front rooms, a kitch- n in the back pair.
and an addition or L part on the west end.
They found Mrs. B. lying on her lack,. in
the south west front room, tier feet about two
feit from the kitchen door. The blinds
were closed, though when the family left in
the niornirig one of the blinds were open.-
There were two or three principal blows on
the head of Mrs. 'B.--—on«- broke the skull,
one separated a large portion of the scalp
from the skull bone, and one fell upon the
cheek. Une eye was also put out, and many
other lesser blows appt-..ired to have been giv-
en on the back sile and other portions tn"'ttie
head. The face was covered uith blood ;
and there was much blood on the floor on
dcr her head, and ii spot a little way froui
her head. She had threeprincipiil st.bs .
her side. Dr. B. felt of her hand-—i=. w
cold and stifl—~he thought she had been dead
three or four hours. There were two wood
sent and one flag seat cliairs _in the room;
one of the wood seas was split in the middle-,
field together only by a SpllntPl‘, part ofthe-
legs brolren off: and the rest drawn out ofthe
seat, indentations each side of the split, blood
in the indentation and all along the front of
the seat, some on the back p.irt. some long
hairs (like the hairs of a woman’s he:id,)
stuck to the lrorit of the seat. The other
wood seat not broken, but blood on front of
it. The flag seat had two frontlt-is out, one
rouiid broken; no blood on it. The cushion
ofthis chair lay on the floor bottom side
up, and ii l2ii‘ge'butchei' knife belongiiilg to
the house lay upon it. The plastt-ring over
head had two m.rks on it. probably made
by chair legs; one was three or four i - .-
lonr_»- and hiilfan inch do-,i-p—three feet apart
in different directions, one towards the disk
which stood in the south east corner of lhl‘
room towards the. kitchen door. The carpet
(laid dowri in breuililis unsewed) was ittllrtit-d
up in a place near the he.id of Mrs. ~“

he had $35 laid away by itself, also gone.
THIRD P.\RTYlSM.
The aniicxed article is from an editor who
has always been fearless in his contlemuanon
ofslavery and ofthe encroachmeois ofthe slave
power, at least ever sinceihe giilleni stand taken
by his father (Rufus King) against the annex-
ation of slave states to the Union.
From (/18, New York American.
The spirit of violence and iniolerence,
tvliich Political Abolition lS assuming, iiiusi
be injurious to the success of all e. deavors
for the extinction ofslavery among us. In-
deed. the very name iilpolilical obollioit is
sufficient to excite disgust and paralyze ef-
fort.
Any party, like any indiuidual, that has
but one idea, one principle, one niolive of
action, is a party or individual that ofiii.-ce~s-
sity disclaims association with this complex
and mUlllf'-il'l0US world—antl must be dis-
claimed by it. It is a mrin,0r7za.n‘ia., which in
plain English ineans iii.-idnt-ss on a particu-
lar topic—-—iind such madness is nonetheless
real because those bffl-.'l.t‘(l with it .=r- sane.
on other innit»-rs and upon other subjects.
Of this character appears to us the (llS":iSt’
of political abolition, which, disr-"guiding all
other cliiins, nll other iiiti-rests, all otlir-r rlu.
tit-s holds up, as the one all suffii.-ient article
of the creed, the iuinietlate extinction (i‘iSl:iv-
ery in the United States, and the support only
for any political triistol men who will at all
hazirds, even to the entire disregard of the
plain letter ofthe Constitution go for such
extinction.
We noticed some weeks ago the extraor-
dinary resolution lltlO[)l.r'd by the Liberty
convention, held at Bufliilo——-thatthiist-tlicre
asseinbled, men and -vomen, white and black
——political abolitioiiists all-—did not consider
themselves bound by any ofthe provisions of
the Coitstitution of the United States that
gu.ii';intce slavery; but that on the contrary
they pronounced such provisions contrary to
the law of God, which as of paramount au-
thority to all liuuian l.iw, they would follow.
Among the persons tlsus assembled‘, and thus
resolving, were men of property, who know
how to take care of their own; men of busi-
ness, acute at making bargains; lawyers em-
inent. in their profession, and skillful to up-
hold the l.i-iv, men. in short who, in all other
individual, social, and worthy counsellors.
and all men, who, as much as any other in
the community, profit by, and appreciate, the
wine of settletl law, and a well ordered Con_-
stitution.
Yet, under the influenceof their 1nono-ma-
riia. Political Abolition, they take upon tbeiii-
st-Ives to pronounce. that what ihe Fathersof.
the Revolution Prltll lrsht-Ll its the organic
law-—-wliat more than three generations of
lllrn since have received and obi-yed as such
and what some l()t)l'i.Et’l'I millions of freeiiren
look upon as the Ptilliidiiiui of their riglits,
the grace, orriaiiient. and d~fencc,.- of their no take efiect on the 15th inst.

nay, wurs,-«-—a.s.beiiig in _ §Utl‘fl..llCtlOfl with

Can it be possible that the reflecting por-
tion ofthosi-. heretofore l(il('l'1l.lfll’(l with Abo-
lition, will sustain such dangerous doctrines,
.or consent to act politically with the inadnien
whose first str-p is on the charter of our
comuion rights? We ask this question

, for we are, as we ever have been, l.llt.'-'\\'f.1l'f!l

and zealous: not to interfere with it Wherr-
by the Con-iiiiition it is placed. and was
meant to be placed, in the old States, beyond
the reach or other States, or of all the Stairs

bccaiisc‘ on this hiiatl we have never‘ coni-

we say. we have "acquired at some cost, a
right to speak with authority on this ques-
tion.
The duties of such men to the Constitu-
tion and to their countrv, riiust, we would
faiu hope, deter them from countt-n-incing
the opinions proclaimed at Buffalo, and still
more from acting them out; for the danger
:ii.d wrong of sucha course seem too obvi-
ous.
If in’ relation to slavery any association of
men may rightfully assume that the laws and
Constitution of the country are not biiidin.
——they doso, in relation to evrry other insti-
tuiioii; and what any number of men inay do
8'1Cl'l individual, with equal right, may do:

A friend called on us with a sari ple of
the rotten potatoes from his oun field, near
