Douglas men there making disturbance,
talking about principle when we wanted

THE LATE ABORTION CASE IN GRAND
S'l‘REE'l‘.—-D7‘. Gray brought to New York.
Late on Wednesday night, Mr. Brevoort
aid to General Superintendent, Talmadge
arrived in this city, having in custody
Dr. Milton W. Gray, who is charged by
a coroner’s jury at Poughkeepsie with

 

Beneway, by procuring an abortion upon

-Bach. Aye, this is the talk of all the
Douglas men. Well, if you wish to
desert the party and let the Black Rer-
publicans carry the state by thousands,do
so.-— I suppose you won’t vote for our
ticket. -

Dang. I certainly will not if it is op-

, to the principle of popular sover-
-"eighty, and the right of self-government
In other words, if the ckhdidageg sustain
the policy of the administra.tion—its meas-
ures and its messages in behalf of the Le-

ton constituton against the the clear-
ly ascertained will of the majority of the
people‘ of Kansas, I assuredly shall not
Date for them. ‘

Bach. Why, they are your old friends
can't you trust them?

Doug. My vote is a matter of princi-
ple, not of friendship; I do not give it
on trust. If they are explicitly against
him, and if they twaddle on an important
living issue, no one should vote for them.

 ‘Bush. Would you vote the Black Re-
publican ticket? ,

Doug I may, or I may not vote for
Iither of the tickets presented. Of one
thing rest assure-d,——1 shall not knowing-
lyvote for any candidate who is :1 Lo-
aomptonite,——who would recognize as the
-constitution of Kansas, what he knows is
not their constitution, for such a candi-
date, whatever may be his professions, is
in-his heart no democrat.

flingulax Bufcide in Philadelphia-—

-Prenchy," Very. _

" The Courier des Etats Unis contains
a long private letter from Philadelphia,
giving the marvelous particulars of -a sui-
cide. The important portions of the let-
for as translated are as follows :

In a small town near Philadelphia '9.

fiongregation of Moravian brothers has
ilourished. One of the most devoted of
the number was Mr. C., a rich property
holder of the neighborhood. Having
been a widowera long time, and his three
daughters having died one after the oth-
0r,.all ‘his affections concentrated on his
young son, the only one of his children
that survived, and on a young ueice
whom he had adopted. Being a gener-
ous supporter of the fraternity,_ Mr. C.
was most liberal also towards. those less
favored by fortune, and he was venerated
as the benefactor of the poor.

Young C., aged 24 years, assisted his
father in his ‘business, and also practiced
mediciuda little. He was beloved by cv-

_ one. His cousin, who had been
brought‘ up with him from the age of six
years,-was already a young lady when
our ‘story begins. Having a face of re-
ruarkable beauty and blonde, like all
daughters of Germany, she captivated at
the first glance. The two young people,
it is understood, were destined for one an-
other.

The young man was often called toPhil-
adelphia to attend to his father’s business
arfihirs. _ Some months ago having arrived
.B"a't-urday morning he was unable to finish
his business on that day. He was there-
fore compelled to remain till Monday.—
On Sunday he went to Rev. Dr. Parker-’s
Church.’ After the service, the weather,
which had been very pleasant, became
«suddenly very stormy ; rain fell in tor-
rents and billows of water, mingled with
mud, flooded the streets. C. had a car-
riage, but two ladies who sat in front of
him had none, and seemed, in trouble
about going home. They had umbrellas,
but they were a poor protection against
Philadelphia floods. Henry C. observed
the’ embarrassment of the ladies and of-
_f‘ered to take themhome. The offer was
accepted, and they started. The ladies
lived in a remote and retired quarter.-
Duriug the ride they were so occupied
jwitirthe care of their dresses, that there
was little conversation. But when they
reached the house they loaded the young
man with thanks and invited him to come
_aud dine with them. The invitation was
declined, but it was agreed that C. should
take tea with the ladies. The oldest was

. a widow. She gave her name as Mrs.
Thompson, and presented the young lady
as her‘ daughter.

As" soon as he left Mrs. Tliompson’s he
felt himself conquered, and from that day
his passion for Miss Thompson increased.
Instead of going to Philadelphia once or
twice a month, as formerly. he sometimes
went there two or three times a week.-—
The friendship that he had for his cousin
had never exceeded the tenderness of a
brother‘ for a sister, ‘and he did not think
he was unfaithful in nourishing other.senti-
meats. . There had ncver,bec_u auy,,rnen-
tion between the two young people of the
‘union projected by his father ; and Hen-
‘yy’ had so given himself up to his passion
that more than once hehad thought of
asoufiding his secret to his cousin. But
he was not frank with his father, whose
‘character he knew so well as to feel sure
‘that he would never give up his favorite
project. Sometimes the idea"of this near-
ly set him crazy;

The two ladies led a very rctircd life,
appearing to be devoted to good works,

_'talking a great deal on religious subjects,
and always attending church regularly.-
in regard to their circumstances, they ap-
peared to be very comfortable-—judging
from their mode of life. This state of
,things lasted a couple of months, when
suddenly Mrs. Thompson began to show
"a certain coldness—nud, on Heury’s ask-
ing the"reason of it, he was told that his
visits were compromising them. In other
‘words, he should declare his intentions.——
He understood. At first-, fearing the
wrath of his father, he hesitated; but
love was stronger than reason. The mar-
riage took place secretly. Mrs. Thomp-
son,‘who knew the young man’s scruples,
agreed to’ his plaus,'and an old minister
{if the neighborhood, one of the few visit-
4o_r,s of the house, blessed the union.
' ’ Soon after the marriage, Mrs. Mary
‘.43. asked her husband to open a credit
fwitli her in bank, for their ordinary ex-
gpeuscs. ;‘.-£8 ,thq;3ght this very natural,
1335' ‘immediately .sig._n_ed several blank
checks. A week later, on going to the
bank ifillere his father keptfihis gccount,
‘he learned to his amazement that seveygl
gsums, amounting a.ltog.ether,to i$l0',0'0,0',
yhagi been successively paid on hlsfibecks.

New York, there was no legal evidence
here on which to hold him, and his coun-
sel, Charles S. Spencer. Esq., was about
to move forrthe discharge of his client,
when Mr.cBrevoort came forwifid‘ and
made an afidavit, [of which thefollowing
is a copy :-

Samuel Brevoor, being duly sworu,d'oth
depose and say, that on or about the 4th
of Febuary as he is informed and believes
John Olmstead of N orwalk, and Jemima
Beneway arrived in this city from Pough-
keepsie, and took a room at the Florence
Hotel, where they remained for about
five hours, and then went to Brooklyn
and spent the night with a relative in
that city ; in the morning they returned
to this city, and went directly to the
office of Dr. Milton IV. Gray, corner of
Broadway and Broome street, after re-
maining there for about half an hour the
doctor procured accommodations for Jem-
ima Beneway (who was that morning ta-
ken sick) at an alleged house of prostitu-
tion, No. 218 Grand street ; he then at-
tended her till the 13th inst., when she
died, and her death, as well as her prev-
ious sickness, was kept a profound secret
from all of both his and her friends in
New York and Brooklyh, until two days
after her death; she was laid out by
Dr. Gray and the nurse ; since that time
the body has been disiuterred, and an in-
quest held on the same ; on a post mor-
tem examination of the deceased it was
clearly proved that an abortion had been
procured which had resulted in her death
audit was the opinion of tho Coroner’s
jury that the operation was performed by
Dr. Gray, and that John Olmstead was
an accessory before the fact ; I therefore
pray that Dr. Milton W. Gray may be
arrested and dealt with according to law.
On this affidavit, the accused was tu-
ken before Justice Connolly, at the Low-
er Police Court, who required him to find
bail in the sum $5,000 to await an eqam.-
inatiou. Up to Thursday evening the
Doctor had not procured a bondsman,
and it was expected he wouldbe consign-
ed to the Tombs.—N. Y. Express, Fri.

6-The unfortunate Turk who is at
present in the claws of a committee of
“ gentlemauly” Council members, is said
to have inquired of the interpreter :-——
“What makes those men spit so eternal-
ly ?” In Turkey, and, indeed, in Europe
generally, no man ever spits in the pres-
ence of another, excepting in the public
street and with his head averted ; while
here there is such a continuation of firing
and cross-firing of tobacco-j nice in front
of, across and sometimes actually upon
respectable people that even a Turk can-
not conceal his disgust.-Post.

 

RELIGION IN ViRei.\:1A.—-A mass meet-
ing of citizens of Taylor County, Virgin-
ia, was held at Boothesville recently, at
which the following among other resolu-
tions, was passed unanimously :

“ That the five Christian Advocates,
published in the cities of New York,
Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, St Louis, and Chi-
cago, haviug become Abolition sheets of
the rankest character, we ask our Com-
mouwenlth’s attorneys and postmasters
to examine them, and, if found to be of
an unlawful character, to deal with them
and their agents as the laws of our State
direct.”

16’ Every American member of both
Houses of the New York Legislature is
strongly opposed to the Lecompton swin-
dle, and, on that topic, there is a com-
plete union between them and the Repub-
licans. Thissame feeling will be carried
through the State. The leading Ameri-
can papers, such as the New York EK-
press and the Troy Whig, twith others,
are Anti-Lecompton. Let the same feel-
ing animate the Opposition in this State
in their nominations for Senators and
Ilepresentatives. We know that it ex-
ists aud that it is a. thorough and noble
refutation of the narrow, self-righteous
and discreditablc notion that has been
repeatedly circulated in this State, by
papers arrogatiug all the virtue and
all the conscience that happens to
be afloat in the community, insinu-
atiug, and sometimes very broadly,
that the Americans ofCounect.icut w.ei'o
not at heart opposed to the extension of
Slavery, and could not be trusted in that
topic. Bury that thought forever, over-
rightcous rabids ! The Americans of
Connecticut are as true friends of ’ Free-
dom and as staunch defenders of the rights
of Majorities, as the sourest abolitionist
that ever played the censor over better
men than himself.—-IIa-rt. Can,-,mg_

A Dialogue.

Democrat. Well, neighbor, I see you
have got your paper ; what’s the news
from Washington?

Republiam. It seems to be getting
very doubtful whether the Lecompton
scheme can be got through Congress.

Dem. Isuppose you are glad of that.

Rep. I am certainly rejoiced that there
are independent Democrats enough in
Congress to put down such an infamous
measure.

Dem. Oh! don’t call tliem Democrats;
the Former says they’re all Black Repub-
licans and Abolitionists. '

Rep. Blackguardism is not argument,
my friend, and I don’t believe that the
people of Connecticut will be converted
into accomplices in swiudling and forge-
ry, by any amouut of foul words.

De-m. But what’s the use of making so
much fuss about the miggers, I am sick of
hearing about Kansas and Slavery.

Rep. What occupation do you suppose
a majority of the voters in this State
follow ?

Dem. Some work at one thing, and
some at another ; there’s a good many
trades.

Rep. But the majority labor manually
in some way? '

De-m. Oh, yes, undoubtedly.

Rep. What do you think is the
better condition for a laboring man,
to be paid -fair wages for his work,
or to be owned and compelled to work
for nothing, his owne1"feeding and cloth-
ing him 2‘

Dem. Why, to be paid wages, to be
sure, for a white man ; I don’t think it’s
of any consequence which way a nigger
is treated. ,

Rep. Where would a white man be
likely to get the best wages ; where nig-
gers owned by the inonied men work for
uothing, or where there was 9. healthy
competition among free, paid, white la-
borers.

Dem. Oh, no white man would want
to go and work along side of nigger
slaves, any how ; and, of course, he
couldn’t get as good wages as where the
labor was free.

Rep. Have you got any children?
Dem. Well, that’s a queer question.———
What’s that got to do with it? Howev-
er, I can answer you; yes, I have three
boys and a girl. One of my boys is just
coming twenty-one, and will make as
good a Democrat as his father.

Rep. Did you ever hear any of them
talk of going West?

Dem. Yes, my oldest son, that I just
spoke about, thinks of going to Iowa or
Wisconsin.

Rep. Why don’t he go to Missouri or‘
Arkansas, lands are cheaper there, the
climate is milder, and the soil as good. I
Dem. Oh, they are Slave States, you
know, their schools are poor, their church-
es, few, and the slave-owners look down
on a laboring man, and he don’t want to
work along side of niggers, who are
working for nothing, as I said a little
while ago, and win-.i'ev.er he settles, lie"

he’s engaged to be married, you know,
and will take his wife with him.

Rep. So the fact that ii State is a Slave
State tends to keep free laborers out of
it - *

before. 0 -
Rep. VVell, Mr. Buchanan says that
all our territory outside of State lilies,‘

is Sl’.A\'l”~.‘. territory, as much so as South
Carolina or Georgia ; now what are ,l'I'<'t‘.
while laborers to do ? _
Dem. I don’t believe Mr. Buclnmuii
said so; it’s a Black Republican lie;
but if he did say so, it isn't true.

Rep. He certainly does say so ; it was
published in the Former. I know that
the Prcsiden t’s statement isn't true, us
you say. But do you not perceive that
lllls <1“0Si-lon.iouches something besides
"’”lé’g”"' “OW? DO you not see that

has or may have children, is directly jg.

sas, thus compellivzg that lei'i‘iLoi'y' to be-
come a Slave State? Do you I not poi».
ceive what we Republicans mean, when
we say that we are advocating the cause

tleman in his recent speech assures us, he
had not acquired full information regarding
the affairs of the 'I‘erritory.

The caving in of the Farmer however af-
fords us an opportunity of demonstrating the
correctness of the position taken by the Free
State men regarding the election for the Con-
stitutional Convention. Let it be borne in
mind that the law directing that election was
passed by the old bogus Legislat-rue. That
Legislature had also enacted the disgraceful
code of laws which shocked the moral sense
of the country a year and a half ago. The
authority of that Legislature, the Free State
men had always denied for the same reason
that our fathers denied the power of the Brit-
ish parliament to lay taxes upon the colonies ;
it was a foreign legislature, in which the
. Free State men had and could have no repre-
sentation, for it was the creature of‘ fraud and
foreign violence. Our authorities for this
statement are Ronunr J. WALKER, FRRDERIGK
P. STANTON, STEPHEN A. Douomss, and JOHN
J. Cuirrnxnnx. Now to vote at the Elecffoll
ordered by this Legislature, was to acknowl-
edge the binding force of the whole infernal
code above referred to.‘

A gain, the returns of the Election were to
be sent to the Bogus officers; the Free State
men knew that those returns would be so
suppressed, added to, forged and corrupted,
as to ensure a Pro-Slavery Convention-

The result of the October Election when a
part of them did vote, proves they were
right. The returns of the latter Election
were sent to Walker and Stanton, and inade
out an apparent Pro-Slavery lIl9.l°“l-‘7 "‘ ‘he
Legislature Walker rejected the forged re-
turns, and thus saved the Legislature from
the control of the rufiinus. But the returns
of the Constitutional Election went into the
hands of the creatures of Calhoun & Go.-
What sane man can doubt what would have
been the result, even had the Free State men
abandoned their principles, and 80113 ml‘? ‘hill
Election ‘I

Again the Free State men were assured av
THE Aurnonirr or rm: Piiusinitm‘, that the
Constitution should be submitted to the peo-
ple for ratification or rejection. Why should .
they, therefore, abandon their principles,sub-
ject themselves to be overcome by fraud and
forgery, when without this they were led to
believe they could have a fair vote on the
Constitution ‘2
. No 2 it was the firmness of the Free State
men in refusing to go into that Constitutional
election which has ensured the ultimate sal-
vation of Kansas from the grasp of the Border
Ruflians. Try again. Mr Farmer, and in the
meantime we dare you to publish STAN-
'l‘(lN‘S speech on fire same terms as hereto-
fore.

For the JV'orwaIlc Gazette.
DARIEN, March 19th, 1858.

MR. Enirou :—-Permit me to bring to

your notice some facts which have trans

ired in Darien during the week passed.
It has been notorious that for a year, a
man who, in former years, was proi"essc.d-
ly a strong advocate of the temperance
cause, and who acted with the temper-
ance people lll securing the enactment of
the prohibitory law, has been engaged in
vending the vilest of liquor in quantity
and manner to suit his thirsty customers,
His shop has been a resort for the seedy,
not only through the week, but also on
the Sabbath. It needs only a glance at
the place, at certain hours of the day, to
assure the passer of the character of the
groceries retaiied there.

Living advertisements of his business
move about the streets daily, and the
brilliant color and wavy motion‘ of these

atterns of the proprietor’s workmanship
attest his skill in his profession.

Tile friends of law and order have been
pained at this outrage upon the decency
and good character of the town for u long
time ; and last Monday complaint was
made by the Grand Juror to Mr. Justice
Roberts, who expressed himself happy that
measures were to be taken for the sup-
pression of this illegal traffic, and who
had oftentimes before expressed a desire
that it might be stopped. He therefore
issued a warfilut suuiinoiiing the offend-
ing pariy to appear before him on Wed-
nesday at 1 o'clock for trial. Subpoenas
were also issued, and served upon seve-
ral witnesses to appear and» testify, and
there appeared to be a fair prospect that
justice, so long delayed, was to be done,
and the criminal was about to meet the
punishment he so richly deserves. But
at this stage of the proceedings some of
the watch dogs of the Democratic camp
made the astounding discovery that the
party would be endangered by such ‘a
course. What ! A democratic justice
sit in ju(lgc_mrut,on u. il,cn,1oci'atic rumsel-
ler, and perchauce be .obliged to deprive
the democratic babes of their democ_ratic
pap so absolutely esseut-ia.l to the strength
and perpetuity of the democratic arty ?
The thing must not be done. I; will
surely defeat the re-election of our justice
to the legislature this Spring, and the el-
oquent voice of the “ Gentleman from
Darien,” will not be heard this year, as it
was last in the hall of i'epres-;i_i_t_:j.tives eu-
ligteuiug the members with figures drawn
from a “frog pond.” So a certain apol-
ogy for a lawyer over in Stamford was

 

 

' consulted to know how'to get our Jus-
' tice out of the trap. An indefinite num-

ber of consultations .;7ve,r_e held and messa-
gas were dispatched to some of the Sa-
chems in neighboring towns for a.Ll:J'ice
and directions, all of which resulted in a
plan of operation eminently worthy of its
profound authors. Meanwhile the honest
people of the to.w_i_i aiiiiillsecl the day of
the trial without doi1lJtiiig.the sincerity
of the J usticc/s previous expncssioiis or
the honesty of his intentions. But when
the time for the trial arrived the Justice
(i) was 1101. to be found. He had taken
the cars that morning and departed for
parts }_;1_io._wri only to himself and the au-
thors of the plot’. -Tile prls,o_u,-or was
brought by his boudsmnn, the ' Iv'v.i't,n,es_scs‘
came, summoned by the Justice himself,
the counsel for the State came, but he
had sneaked away to some hiding place to
avoid the possibility of injury to his par-
ty pull his own political aspirations in
iuanfuliy _d,oiiig i_ii_s duty in accordance
with his oath. Tfour Norwalli Sheriff,

it was to be at the trial, felled to appeal‘-
