It is true that at times the mighty unknown of future vaguely impresses itself upon tho present. I think. so. If not, how do we get that prescience of good or ovil that so strongly ele? vates with hope or depresses with ' fear? that throws over our spirits the I serenity of a placid lake, or the wild | agitations of a stormy sea? From my earliest recollection, I had always been afraid of beihp buried alive. I do not remember that the fear of death had ever trou? bled me-only the fear of entering tho grave while yet a living man, and becoming conscious of it when too late. Of all the horrors which the mind can conjure up, this, to me, always seemed ?he most dreadful, and th? fear of it fastened itself upon me with all the power of a haunting spectre; and it became one of the deep concerns of my life to guard against it. At twenty-two years of age, I ordered my coffin and pur? chased my tomb. The coffin was eo constructed, that a living person closed up in it could touoh certain springs and throw it all apart; and tue tomb was contrived with proper j ventilation, and provided with blan? kets and key inside, so that in case of life returning after burial, I could secure myself against a deadly chill, and speedily find my way out. Why had I this fear to lead me to these precautions, unless the coming reality had cast its shadows upon me? My monomania, as many termed it, was known to all my friends, every one of whOm had been separately charged to see mo positively dead 'before burial. But what are precau? tions taken against fate? I , was] doomed to be buried alive, after all. At the time I speak of, I was twen? ty-seven years of age, and' living in my ?u?ivu place-an inland city. Urgent business called me to Boston, where I had only one acquaintance, a very dear friend, who often invited me to come' and make him along visit. Unfortunately, he was ont of town, and expected to be for several days; but his family insisted on my making their house my home during my stay in the city? and would not, in fact, permit mo to go elsewhere. On the fourth day, I had finished my business, and, as it was the last of the Week, I decided to remain two or three days longor, and I should per? haps get a sight of my friend before leaving. On tho following morning, I waa found dead in my bed-at least, I was so reported, and the strongest evi? dence I have against it, is the faot that I am living now. The people of the house, of oourse, were mnoh excited and alarmed-their physician ,wak called in, and afterward the coroner. It was at length decided to put me in a coffin, and place me in a church vault until the return of my friend, who would, of course, have my body oonveyed to my native place for interment. Thus it is seen that all my precau? tion availed me nothing, for abroad, almost among strangers, I had taken on the semblance of death, and had been confined and entombed in the ordinary way. I returned to consciousness in the night, in the vault pf the ohnrch. Of course; I knew not whore I waa. My tint impression was ono of strange pressure and confinement. I fancied, as in a dream, that I had been seized for a maniac, a straight jacket put upon me, and then forced into a narrow cell. This idea did not long hold its placo. As my mind erew clearer, I began to recall what nd happened the past week-leav? ing home, going to Boston, transact? ing ?ny uU?i?ess, and sp on- I re? membered being at my friend's house,, and of ; I deciding .to remain longer than I first intended, hoping for his return before my departure. All this gradually became ' clear, along -with the last pleasant evening I had spent;With his family. But then came a'blanks ' What had hap? pened since? And where was I now? I attempted to ris*?/ and found myself shut tip in Borne narrow place, that scarcely allowed any movement what? ever. How did I get there? What did it mean? Suddenly, my life-long fear return? ed upon me with a new terror that.no language can express. Perhaps the dread horror had come,.nnd I bad boen buried alive nt last! The thought was so appalling, that for some moments I remained paralyzed. Then I seemed gathered into one great agony, which sent forth the most wild, piercing shrieks of despair that ever issued from mortal lips. Yes, it was a truth! My forebod? ing had ended in unreality, and I was iiow tho tenant of a coffin, if not a grave! With another shriek, I turn? ed in my narrow house, gathered in my strength as it were, and threw it out from me with what seemed tho bursting power of a giant. There came a sharp craok; my prison seem? ed slightly to expnnd, and I fancied I felt a change of air. I rested a moment, prayed God to help me, and repeated the effort with even greater power. There was no resist? ing this. The coffin lid was burst asunder with a crash, and my limbs and body were free in the awful dark? ness which enveloped me-tho ray less darkness of a tomb! In considering this wonderful feat, it should be borne in mind that none of my strength had been exhausted by sickness, and that besides being naturally a very strong, powerful man. my physical powers were per? haps doubled by my fear and despair., I was free now to breathe tho damp, delici?os air of what I believed to bo a vault or a tomb; but I confess my terror was scarcely lessened at the thought of having extended the limits of my prison; for after alli might not be able to escape from this horrible plaoe, and if not, would it not be a prolongation of the agonies of life and death? Fortunately, I had been confined in my own gar? ments, and it was a season of the year when I could not suffer from cold, so that question of life without escape was reduced to two points suffocation from foul air, or starva? tion. If I could escape the first, I knew there were several days of lifo yet before me, and perhaps the time would be long enough, with unremit? ting toil, for me to dig my way out, like a convict from his prison. The first thing for me to ascertain was the dimensions of my sepulchre. Whether it was day or night I could not tell, for I could see nothing what? ever-not even my hand, when I held it close up before my eyes. Every? thing must be done by feeling and thought-shuddering with horror at the thought of what I might discover, I knew that delay could avail me nothing, and I resolved to set about the work before me. I rose up in my coffin, and stretched my hands above my head, but they came in contact with nothing. I felt on either side, but felt no object. I put them down below tho coffin, and found it rested on a slab that was supported some distance above the ground, I could not tell how much. I got out of the coffin carefully, stretched down my feet till they touched a solid basis, and thnn ?slowly and cautiously began to grope around the vault. I soon touched the wall on one sido, and carefully felt of the stones. I found them, as I feared I shonld, largo, solid and evidently put together with cement. There seemed little hope of my ever finding my way through them. I followed the wall along, till I came to a pile of coffins, one upon the other, reaching up as high a.? my head. They had evidently been there for a long time, and I fancied, from the slippery feeling, were mildewed and decayed. After pass? ing those, I came to another pile of coffins, not so high as the first, but even more decayed. In turning from these, my feet slippod, I fell against them, and the upper one oame down with a crash, burst open, and the bones fell ont with a phosphores? cent glare, lighting up the darkness, and looking Uko sc many orbs of firo. I staggered back with an in? voluntary yell of horror-the thing was so sudden and the spectacle so awful. My reason returned in a moment, and, though my nervous system had received a shock tbat for a long tima kept me weak and trembling, yet I saw at once how much I was the gainer by the acoident, since by this means I now had a dim view of the charnel house, which had become my prison, if not my grave. The vault was not large, but couta' jed quite a number of coffins, not one of which was new tat* my own, which led me to believe that it had seldom been used of late years, except, perhaps, aa a plac? of temporary deposit. It was a strange hght to see by, the phosphorescence of dead men's bones; and, when I take everything into consideration, my return to con? sciousness, the horrible suspicions, certainties and .discoveries which followed in appalling order, I am compelled to wonder how it waa pos? sible for me to keop my senses, and to continue my effort to escape with the coolness I did. I soon found the door to the vault. It was a wooden ono, and seemed mnoh decayed on the inside,.like the coffins I nave mentioned. I tried it with trembling eagerness; but dis? covered,'alas! it was fastened on the ontside-probably secured by heavy iron bolts. Oh! for the use of an axe for half an houri I would wil? lingly have given for it all I was worth in the world. I struck against the door with my fist, and threw my body heavily against; but only to discover its massive solidity, and to know that, without Borne implement to work with, nil my ei?brts to escape would bo worso than vain. I searched everywhere, as well as I could by the dim, ghastly light, but found only two things that I could possibly use-a large spiked nail and a pebble stone, weighiug over a pound. How precious did even these Beem. Thero was a portion of the door so decayed that, with the use of the nail and tho stone, I believed I could work a hole largo enough, perhaps, to admit my arm; and as this place was near where * tho bolt, if a single one, would naturally be, 1 had great hope that I might be able to reach and slide it back. With this idea, I commenced at once, with all the energy of a man in my situation, and for hours I labored unremittingly hammering, prying and getting off splinter by splinter, till at last I found I could pass my hand through the aperture. O! what wild emotions of hope and fear thrilled me thenl I trembled from head to foot, my re? spiration became gasping and diffi? cult; large beads of perspiration seemed to start from every pore, and, sinking down on my knees, I prayed God to havo ineroy on me, and re? store me to tho world of life. Then I arose slowly, thrust my arm through tho aperture, and felt around for the bolt. My hand touched it. With trembling eagerness I worked back; and then the heavy door came slowly open, harshly grating on its hinges. Oh, Heaven! What a moment was that! Perhaps I was to be delivered from that awful sepulchre! The very thought was an overpowering joy, which my nervous system, so long wrought up to tHe most intense ex? citement, could not bear, and I faint? ed, and fell at the foot of the stairs, which led upward from tho charnel vault. When consciousness and strength again returned to me, I went, slowly and tremblingly, up the damp, dim and narrow stairs, till I came to the flag that shut in tho whole. On my power to raise this, depended every? thing! I put my shoulder against it, and pressed upward with all my might. Gracious heavens, it did not move! I was doomed! I uttered a wild, piercing shriek, and fell back in despair, the most wretched being in existence. As I sat there, on one of the cold, slimy steps, in an agony of mind that must soon haye de? prived my burning, throbbing brain of reason, I fancied I heard steps above me. What! human life above, and I to be doomed to death in a sepulchre? No, no! never, never! I sprang to my feet, with the deter? mination and strength of a madman, and again, putting my shoulder to the stone, sent it upward, with a forco that turned it over with a crash! Fresh air and light burst in upon me! I saw I was beneath the roof of a church, and, leaping up from my pit, I yelled forth my joy. Tt was an carly hour in the morn? ing, and the sexton had come into the church to put certain things to rights. Seeing mo spring upward from the tomb, with an appalling yell, he instantly fled, with a shriek of terror. He soon returned, how? ever, with half a dozen excited spec? tators, and found me on my knees, giving thanks to God for my won? derful deliverance. I scarcely need add, that my friend's family were astonished be? yond measure to see me back among them, a living man. The next day, I had the pleasure of taking my friend himself by the hand, and giving him an account of my death, burial and resurrection. As had been arranged, he went homo with my body, but not with my corpse. Since then, I have never traveled alone, for fear of again being buried alive.

In demanding these measures and re forme, wo arraign tho radical party for its disregard of right, and thc unparalleled oppreaaion aud tyranny which have mark? ed its career. After the moat aolemu and unanimous pledge of both Houses of Con? gress to proaecuto the war exclusively for the maintenance of the Government and tho preservation of tho Union, under the Constitution, it has repeatedly violated that most sacred pledge, under which alono was rallied that noblo volunteer army, which carried our flag to victory. Instead ol'restoring the Union, it has, so far as is in itu power, dissolved it. and subjected ton States, in times of profound peace, to military despotism and negro supremacy. It has nullified there tho right of trial by jury; it haa abolished tho habeas cor? vus, that moat sacred writ of liberty; il baa overthrown tho freedom of speech and tho press; it has substituted arbitrary seizures and arrests, and military trials and secret star-chamber inquisitions foi the constitutional tribunals; it bas disre? garded, in time of peace, tho right of thc people to bo freo from searches and seiz tiren; it has entered tho post and tclegrapt offices, and even tho privato rooms of in dividuals, and seized their privato papers and letters, without any specific charge oi notice of affidavit, as required by the or ganic law; it has converted the Amcricar capitol into a baatilo; it has established a system of spies and official espionage tc which no constitutional monarcuy of Eu rope would now dare to resort ; it has abo lisned the right of appeal on importanl constitutional questions to tho snpremi judicial tribunals, and threatens to cur tail or destroy ita original jurisdiction which is irrevocably vested by thc Conati tution, while the learned Chief Justici baa boon subjected to tho most atrocioui calumnies, morely bocauso ho would no prostitute his high office to tho support o tho falso and partizan charges proferrct against tho President.
