The bills*gave a description -of his person, and the man befove me answered very well to it. * In fact, it was perfect. He was a tall, well -fﬂ')rmed man, rather slight in frame, and had the appearanee of 3 gentleman, save that his face bore those "hard, cruelmarks which ansobserving man can not mistake for anything but the index t 0 a' villainous dis-; PORMGIONT s il sy e nalis When I-went up tomy ‘chamber: I asked the landlord who that man was, . describing the suspicious individual.— He said ﬂge did not know him.

T resolved not ‘to le&jhe—lm&‘lﬁfd"i’nto the secret, but to hurry on to Jackson, and there give information -to the sheriff, -and. perhaps he might reach the inn before the villain left, for I had no doubt with regard to his identity. - 0 o I'had-an alarm watch; and having set it to give the alarm at-one o'clock, I went to sleep. 1 was aroused at the proper time, and_immediately got up ‘and dféésgd.. myself. .

I heard gomiéthing tumble from one side to the other of my Wagon, and T could also feel the jar occasioned by the moyement. It was simply a ‘'man in my cart! I knew thison the instant, Of course I felt puzzled. -At first I'imagined s‘o‘?}xe' poor fellow 'had taken this method to obtain a ridej-but I isoon : gave this up, for I knew, that’ any docent man would have asked me fora ride, My nextideawas thatsomehody Ind got it ther fo Heops s Heis passed awzﬁa}ﬂuiékl?as"w “cameé, for’ no man fwould have ‘broken into- my cart for that purpose. And that thought gentlemen, opened my eyes. =~ Whoever was in there, had brokenin. . :

- My next thoughts wege of Mr. Dick Hardhead. He had he%fne say that my load was all sold out, and of course he supposed 1 had somenioney with me. In this he was right, for I had over two thousand dollars. I also thought that he meant to'leave the cart when he supposed 1 had reached a safe place, and ‘then either reach overand shootme, or knock me down. All this passed through. my mind by the time f got 2 rod from the hole.. # ¥ Sien .- Now.l never make it a point to brag efWiyself, yet I have scen a great deal of the werld, and I-am pretty cool ang clear headed under difficulty. Ina very few moments my résolution wasformed. My horse was now knee deep in-mud; and I knew I could slip off without noise. * So I drew my revolver. Inever travel in that country without. one. I drew this, and having twined the reins about the whip stock, I carefully slipped down.into the mud, and as'the eart! passed on I:went behind it and exam med the-hasp. = - . e Thedeor. of the cart lets down, and is fastened by a hasp, which slips over’ a staple, and is then secured by a pad-’ lock.

I knew that at the digtance of half a mile’ further I should come to'a Beod hard road; so I allowed my hGrd%*‘ to pick his way through the mud. About ten minutes af'ter this T heard-a motion in‘the cart, followed by a grinding noise,: as though some heavy force were being appliéd_ to the docr. 1 said nothing, but the idey stiuck.mg that the yillain might judge where I'sat’and shoot; ap throug the top of the cart at 'me,;gdgll) sat dewn on f%e foot-boasd. = N

- Of course I knew now that my unexpected passenger was a villain, for he must have ‘heen awake .ever since 1 started, and- nothing in -the world but absolute villainy would have caused him to remiain quiet so.long, and then start up, in this particular plage, The thumping a%dgpushing grew louder and louder, and pretty soon I heard .a human veice?

Clonagend. i = . 1 haye never Met anything analigous to it but once in my life, and that Twill mention' by way of illustration. * A ‘trader in my town, before the day of railroads Mu&mwhymﬁll;nnd he was a little doubtful Wwhether it was lge,nuine or not. He concluded to givé it to the stage driver and sepd it down ta the bank ‘to inquire of the eashier whether it was' a genuine bill. The, driver teok it and promised to attendto. it. . He went down the firstday, but he had s 0 many other errands that he forgot it, and he said he would certainly attend to it the ‘next day. The next day he forgot it, and the third day he forgot it ; but he said to morrow T will do it if Ido nothing else. T will ascertain if the bill is genuine or not.— e went the fourth day with a like result—he forgot it, and when' he came Jhome he ‘saw the nerveus, anxious tra«der; wanting to know whether it was genuine or not; and he was ‘ashamed ]_?o‘@e»ﬂ kim he had forgotten it, and he’ ‘thought he would Te 1t through. = Said the trader to him, “Did you call at the bank 77+ “Yes.” © “Did the eashier say it was.a genuine bill?” ~¢ No, he did not.” “Did he say it was'a bad. one? . “No” ' «Well, what' did he' say 7 “He said it.wagaboutmiddling | —scmi-geniiine.’”. [Laughter.] I have mnever learned to this day whether that was a good er bad bill.. ; [ Laughter.]-~ They used to say in (reneral Jackson’s tinte, that he had 'a kitchen cabinet as well as a regular one. This could not ! aye been ameeting of the kitchen eabinet, becanse it sat in the parlor—[Laughter.] It was semi-official in its character also. S 3

‘Again, sir, there is another thing re@Eﬁh&a@b@m his meeting. | The Senator says: “It was.semi-official and called”—it' was a called meeting; it was not a-mere accidental gathering of’ a few gentlemen, coming in to pay their respects to the distinguished Senatorin his - hespitable mansion; it was “ demiofficial and ealled.” For what? “Called to promote the public wood.” Yes, sir, a semi-official meeting, called topromote the public good ; and what did it do? ' Thehonorable Senator from Pefthsylvania sayg: ' _ © % My recollection was clear that Tleft the conference under the impression that it had been deemed “best to adopt measures to ‘admit Kansas as a state through the agency of one popular election, and that for delegates to the eonvention. This impression ‘was. the’ stronger; because I thought the * spirit of the bill infringed upon the doctrine of non-intervention, te which T had great aversion, but with th?}(j‘p'e‘é)f' aecomplishing a great good”’—~the miceting was called fox. the «“public good” —*“and ag no movementhad beenmade in that direction, in the Territory, I' waived this objection, and concluded to support. the measure.. I have & fow items of testimony as to the correctness of ‘these impressions, and with their submission I shall be content.” -~ = ! "Theu he goeg on to sy - « il &0 ;6] ha_ve%%fbre me the bill reported: by the Senator from Illinois, ‘on%g'i;th of March, 1856, providing fer the’ ﬁ mission of Kansas as a state ; the third section of which reads as follows: ' &

Both these bills were under consideration at the ¢onference referred to ;’’—two bhills under consideration at this ‘semi-official meeting I-— “but, sir, when the Senator from fllinois reported the Toombs bill to the Senate, with amendments, the next morning, it did not contain that portion of the third section which indicated to the .gjinyenﬁog ‘that %e cdngticg}tioh. should be approved by the people.”” - ngriaultbegi'thég::%%l—o@c’ial m;et-; ing, called for the public good, was that mgaﬁﬁi’seammg;aemthm momning minus_the.clause submitting tlie’éé;%tih_iﬁdn’i tﬁ&mpﬁ Theas stricken out; but the honorable Senator does not impugn anybody nor his motives, becauso hesays: “Who struck the words out, or for what purpose they were ‘omitted, is not for meito answer.
