A Sad Casc of Seduction.

I On the 28th of January, last, a eommuni- ■ cation, signed with the name of John C.. ■Walker, appeared in the Laporte Times, in I which the following piteous appeal is made: “Let us not now, in the name of Heaven, be seduced by octogenarian leaders or reckless politicaF'adventurers to the embrace of a Southern Cyprian, who would lull our fears with the smiling promise of repose, but whose breath is full of pestilence and I whose touch is disease and death.” ; After such an appeal and such a fearful | picture of the Southern Cyprian, who could i imagine that Calonel Walker would so soon seek her fatal embrace. l “Let us not now, | ' in the name of Heaven, be seduced by octo- j i geiiarian leaders,” implored Colonel Walker, I i and straightway he consented to be seduced ( (himself. In Buchanan, the chief of the I “octogenarian leaders,” he now has “un- ■ bounded confidence,” and firmly and loving- ; ly does he embrace the Southern Cvprian. | The 12th of October, in his own deteat, will ' demonstrate the truth of his own words, that her “breath is’ full of pestilence,” and | her “touch is disease and -death.”— South. : Bend Register.
