rocks were reut, and the graves wore open
ed, and many bodies of saints which slop
arose and came out ol their graves nf'te
the resurrection, and went into the hoi;
city and uppenred unto many." Withou
wishing to arrogate any snintship, it seem
cheerful to see so many brother Dome

graves unil appearing unto many this day
[Laughter.] Salvation, we learn, cam
out of the very agonies of nature. [Cheers.

Wln.t has done all this? Simply tin
attempts of the President to see that th
" laws bo executed." lie would exccuti
the supreme law, the Constitution. If
has exercised the power given him in th
Constitution, and us a part of tho l.egis

in the Constitution lor wise purposes. 1
is a check from the President ot the pee

In the hands of a just Executive it inigh

his message, he has drawn the line of sop

lencc, but of white liberty and State cx
utenco and e<juulity. [Cheers.]
Mr. Raymond, in his paper of tho 21sl
reicrs to the "exultation of a Cacti- n wh
see in the veto the establishment of an it
reparable breach between the l'rcsiden
and tho Union party." lie says they wil
be disappointed, as some measure on tlii

upon whioh tho President and Congris
may agreo. 1 am one oi the oxultants ii
this breach, and I hope noauoh eoddlinj
will be accomplished. It will result only
in unmixed harm?
1st. Mccansc any Mill about fraedtr.cn
will be impolitic and despotic, unsuitcd to
our system of Government. The reasons
? against this Mill just vetoed are equally
strong in titnc ol war or peace against the
existing law. When the present law was ;
first introduced on the 17tli February,
1SG4, by Mr. Elliott (who is one of the
pegs in the national shoe lor our mortifi
cation and discipline), I had the pleasure
to givo it the first gentle tap to test its
a soundness. It was objectionable then, because
it was ioundcJ on confiscation, on
mistaken humanity, on a heresy as to our
system of Government; because it usurped '
powcre not belonging to the Federal Gov- ;
fJ eminent; because corrupting and cxtravu- !
gant; because the Government should not

and because there w s "no warrant in the
i. Constitution to establish such clomosyna- 1
rt ry system." If bad in time of war, how
ut'eily senseless and ruinous to both black
' md white in time of peace! This the J
' President demonstrates with a practical '
sense ami statesmanship that should com- I
3, mend him, as it does, to the popular favor.

- is bureaucracy against Democracy. Second,
s It disturbs the relations of the owners and
] laborers of the land. Third. It makes a
us class of fiovcrnmetit dependants for charic

Confession ofsmrliweather, the
Murderer. ,
Albert J. Starkweather, it will be recol 1
loeted, was accused of murdering his mother
and si-tcr last summer. Ilis trial has 1
just closed at Hartford, and a verdict of
guilty render d An attempt has been
made to prove him insane, on the ground,
chiefly, that he had no motive to commit
the horrid ciitnc. Hut it appears, from
a confession just made, that he had a motive.
A young lady whom ho sought as his
wife?Mis* Kmcrctt Campbell?had ?ug- i
gestcd to liiin that his business embarrass- <
incuts rendered it improper that he should i
marry. To remove his impression 1'roui
her mind, he deeded to her certain proper- <
ty. This was displeasing to his mother, i
who had it in her power to render one ol I
the deeds void. This she did in the man- 1
ncr detailed below; and the assumed motive
for the murder was to get possession
of the entire property of tho family, and
thus rennvc the seeming obstacle to bis
marriage. The Hartford Uodrant publish- '
es the following as the murderer's:
CONFESStO!?. i
In the early part of the week preceding
the homicide, his mother, lie said, came to 1
llartford and executed a deed to him of the 1
homestead Previously (in l~?"d) sho had
delivered to liitn a deed of a fot, containing
sixty-three acres, though tho deed had I
never been recorded. In giving him the
deed of the homestead, she had required 1
him to give in return a mortgage note for '
fifteen luimlreil ilnllnrj in l.'ll- I

liis sister. On the Saturday following, he '
said, he went to liockville. and, securing 1
the services of a lawyer there, had the '
sixty-three acres of laud, given to him in 1
ISO-, and the homestead which had just 1
passed into his possession, deeded by a ;
warranty deed to Kmerett Campbell, thus '
disposing to her of all the estate to wbica 1
lie held title. On his rctur.. hotuc that
evening he stopped at Mr Campbell's Iiuusj, 1
and gave the "'oed to Kmerett, (us stated '
by her in the testimony. When lie reaoh- {
cd his own h< use ho tol 1 his mother what 1
he had doifr, ai d she, very rv ^aily, ceii- *
? * '
suieu it1111 ior uotng wnui slie pronounced ;
to lie u very loutish act, and expressed 1
In r.-cll in >tterms. Shi filially told
him, however, that i! he was willing to <
lake the deed of the place, as previi usly <
agreed upon, and let the note ol'SlOOU in
favor of I i li t stand us i*. was drawn, and ' 1
Would keej. the deed in his own name und
live oti the premises, the arrangement she 1
had mado with him with regaid to the <
property might remain binding, and it 1
Kmeri.lt would marry hint she eoul I coiue <
tkerc an 1 live ; but if he chose to treat the '
matter as he had?deeding away all lie
was worth?h ? should not have an inch ot I
the ground. The words quoted are precisely
tli so used by her, as stated by 1
Starkweather in the confession. He told i
her that he would do nothing of the kiiui '
?would not take back the dead ho had '
given to Emerett?and then accused her ! 1
ot intcrlering with his own and Miss1'
('atiipbell's arrangements. Some farther '
conversation, of an excite 1 character, cn '
sued, which resulted iu his mother going
and getting the deed and note ^which were '
iu her possession) and tearing them up in
his presence. High words followed, "and 1 I
I tulJ her," said ho, "that 1 would bo revenged."
[Tho dost ruction of tho deed 1
mid nuto, i( will bo observed, rendered the '
deed lie hud given to Miss Campbell total- '
ly valueless.J "From that time," he ad- !
ded, "until the time of the murder, the idea ; 1
of killing mother did not leave my mind." ,
Ho said he thought of it constantly?all j

Spanish Insurrection*. chi
The recent revolt in Spain gives interest
to the following account of former icsurrec -^s
tions in that country, which we find in the
Paris Steel' :
It is a sort of ('nclili in ? tc

to be free and independent, and to proclaim |
one's opinion sword in hand. We will not j/j
go back to the days of Cid and the pro? ^

tine our remarks to those of former times *
The staff of the Spanish urni) cousists of
ten Marshals (Captains-General,) of whuut ^
live are honorary, the King, the Infantes
and the l>uke de Montpen-ier. The five mo
others, Kspurtcro, Duke dc la VitUria; as
Narvaez, Duke do Valencia; Gutticrcz dc ^ (
la Concha, Marquis del Duero ; O'Donucl,* cj
Duke de Tctnan ; and Scranoy Dotninguez, ^
Duke dc la Torre, have all taken part in
celebrated insurrections.
If they have fought the enemies of their ^
country, they have also chiefly owed their
elevation to the energy with which they jnc
have couibatted their rivals. Among the
genetals commanding the different arms, ^r<
the most illustrious, General Kosdc Olanc,
Marquis de Gaudy Gclu ; General Zavala, ^
Maiquis de Sierra Bnlloucs, who is now ^
pursuing General Prim ; General Dulcc, ^
Marquis de Castcllflorite ; General dc Mes- ^
sina, General Genarn Oiie#ml ? ??<
mhcrs, havo also shared in pronuuciaioen- ^ 4
'.os. All those risings have not triumphed;
but it must not ho supposed that a man is
ruined forever through having tailed once. ^
Some few generals have been shot; but
most ot the vanquished have only been ex .
led On the other hand if a iuan does not

The face of this man of thirty or a little

uld dash terribly in battle, were tho
test and most friendly imaginable, the
ice, which would thrill his men as it rang
e a clarion in the charge, was the person
of mild courtesy. He was as aim*

iu could sec from his dress, his firm tread,
i open and lrauk glance that he was a

to whom attached and still attaches a

as a dream-?but, after all, 'twas

Marvelous Cave Story.
At St. Joseph, Mo., correspondent of
> St. Louis Republican says that a won't
ul cave has been found ip the bluffs
mt a mile above St. Joseph, which has

of the place.
l'rovided with all things necessary, they
te:cd the cavern about 10 a. m. and were
ic uutil 4 p. ni., when they returned,
pressing the greatest wonder, and relatj
marvels too strange almost for credence,
fore proceeding very far they came to a
;t and splendid chamber, whose ceilings
1 sides were adorned with various stalacis
of ever/ form and hue, and transpait
in their brightness. Fish and beasts
i human forms were represented by this
lliant accretion, and massive curtains of
brilliant in huo, were pendant from the
ling and hung heavily around the walls.
Passing through this vast chamber, they
md themselves in a sort of grotto, whose
es were formed of crystal columns, and
iosc arched ceiling resembled a gorgeous
w of diamonds. Emerging thence, they
held another hall vaster than tho first one
d far more gorgeous in all of its appoint*
