ADVICE TO LAWYERS.—The following, written by the eminent Chief Justice Sto--Vry in 1833, is worthy of the especial eonsideration of legal gentlemen .at the prescnt time. Every young lawyer should paste it in his scrap-book, and, every time he has a. causc to try, read it aloud before going to the court:

Whene'er you speak, remember every canio Standi* not on eloquence, but stands on laws— rregnant in matter, in expression brief, l.et every sentence stand 111 bold roliof On trifling points, nor time, nor talcnto waste, A sad ofTenco to learning and to tns'o Nor deal with pompous phrase: nor o'er suppose IVetic flight* belong to reasoning prose. Looso declamation may decoivo tho crowd, And seem more striking as it grows more loud But sober senso rejects it with disdain,

As nought but empty noise, and weak as vain, Tho froth of words, the school-hoy's vain parade Of books and eases—all his stock in trado— Tho iert eoncoits, the cunning tricks aud play Of low attornivis, strung in long array, The unseemly jest, tho potulenl reply,

That chatters on, and cares not how nor why. Studious avoid unworthy themes to scan, They sink the speaker and disgraco tho man, Like tho fnlso lights by flyiHg shaddows cast, 6oareo seen when present, and forgot w)\en past. Begin with dignity expound with grace Each ground of reasoning in its time aud place Let order roigu throughout—each topic touch. Nor urge its powos to liltlo, nor too much,' Give each strong thought its most attract! vo view j.. In diction clear, aud yet severely true,

And, as tho arguments iu splendor grow, Let each reflect its light on all below. When to tho close arrived, make no delays, By pretty flourishes, or verbal plays, But sum the whole in ono deep, solemn strain, Liko a strong current hastening to tho main.

VIVE SCHEME OF TflE REPUBLICANS ELECT THE FTEXTPKE^iDElVT OF TrtE UJflTED HTATES E*POSED^l -Within the last few days Sevelopntents haye been made that show the existence of a deep plbt apon the {iart of the opposition to secure the toqxt President "by throwing the election into'tfoe next House of Representatives, to be chosctf iti part this fall. It tras arranged at -.Washington, to our certain knowledge, at a meeting of the leading "Republican" and "American" editors and other magnates of the party,' who'were present by invitation. Despairing of beating, the Democracy before the people in I860, by a fair contest npon principle, they have resolved to bend all their energies toward securing the House of Representatives, which is generally voted for without a thought that, in addition to its other duties, it may baVe to elect the President of the United States. Their game is to run "Republicans'^in Repnblican districts—"Americans" in American districts in the South—to encourage the running of the bolting Democrats arid "Independents" in Democratic districts to divide the Democratic strength and thus elect Republicans, and so secure the House to a certainty. Hear the Gazette speculate upon the success of the last part of this fine scheme to' cheat the people. It says: "There is scarcely a Congressional district in the North in which, should a Lecompfon Democrat be nominated, the party will not be hopelessly divided. What we now sec in Indiana and Pennsylvania, and even in Missouri, will be witnessed in due time in a great portion of the Congressional districts of free States, cither in the form of revolt or of more covert opposition."

Having obtained a majority in the House, the opposition will run several candidates for President in I860, putting forward their strongest men in each locality, with the sole purpose of preventing a choice by the people of that office, in which event the election goes to the House to be elected this fall, which by their intrigues previously, they had carried. This, wc know, is tlieir game, and it explains tlic int(5rc.st they take in Congressional elections which will soon take place. Democrats, tlictcFore, should remember tiiat, in casting their votes for members of Congress this fall, they are electing the men who may, possibly, choose the next President of the United States.

In this view of the case, the election of a member of Congress become a matter of importance to the whole nation and our friends in the different districts should fully understand the consequences that

He may hold a similar important position in the next House. What a responsibility, therefore, attaches to Mr. George W. (Jarr, who is running as an irregular or bolting Democrat against Mr. Hughes, with no prospect of election himself, and whose only triumph can be iu the drawing off enough Democratic votes from Mr. Hughes to elect the Republican candidate. Wc can not believe that Mr. Carr, who wc believe has heretofore ranked as a good Democrat, desires the election of a Republican President iu 1800 yet such may be the result of his cllbrts, iu case he defeats Mr. Hughes. Whatever local or personal objections he may have to Mr. Hughes,

we appeal to him, by his regard for *|ie|hjs mother and turning her out of door

Democracy of the United States and the integrity of their organization, to surrender them at this crisis, when-their gratification may cost us the Democratic President in I860. Not only that, but the President defeated may be the very person whom Mr. Carr desires to sec elected to that office. Mr. Carr claims to be a friend to Mr. Douglas, and yet he is laboring indirectly to secure a triumph for the Black Republicans, who, notwithstanding that Mr. Douglas co-operated with them all the session on the Kansas issue, arc doing all they can to beat him for the United States Senate. Docs Mr. .Carr desire to strengthen. the.. Republicans, who arc applying the kuife most relentlessly to Mr. Montgomery and other Democrats who were his Anti-Lecompton friends? He must be conscious, too, that that issue is dead—that the whole subject of admission is referred to the people of Kansas, and that tlieir decision will be final, and can not be disputed or controverted.

Mr. Douglas himself declares the Vissue to bo a past one," and urges all Democrats to co-operate together, without regard to their sentiments upou it when it was properly before the people, i. The status of Kansas is now to be decided by the people of that Territory, aud elections to the next Congress can not alter it in tho least.— Why should Democrats quarrel over this extinct issue, when we sec the opposition waging an equally relentless war against Democrats of the Anti-Lecoinpton as well as ithe Lecompton school? Mr. Douglas and Mr. Montgomery, arc as .bitterly assailed by- the Republicans as Mr. Hushes or Mr. Niblack-. When they act without re-

The great blessing of sudh a government as ours ieftba'f its hrigh'esf offices aresequally withifi the VeacK' rf' the poor add father*: less as of those who claim a descent frdm the fiigK Wd we&lthy. ^The raggcd'orphaff at one of our public schools is just_as like1 ly to be the future Presldenf of the United. States as one better clothed and of-higher respectability—in fact the chanties are( 4n favor: of the i'ormer-^-ifiasmuch:as thewant of those enemies^ which are supposed to lead to success,' often produce an emulation arid ambition to succeed—the sure guarantees of a prosperous issue. The truth of "this is strongly exemplified in the career of one now filling more of the public eye than any other statesman in this contir nent, and whose example should be a shining beacon to all young men of talent and enterprise struggling with the difficulties ever attendant on their first entrance on' the stage of life. Twenty-five years since the distinguished individual whose name heads.this article first made his appearance, in Morgan county, Illinois, an entire stranger, a poor young man, without^ money.and without friends. The little education he had then obtained, professional or otherwise, was acquired at the intervals of leisure he obtained while working at the cabinet maker's shop in his native State Vermont. He is now visiting the scene of his youthful adventure and first location iu his adopted State, Illinois. His reception there and his feeling are best delineated in the article which follows this. Let every poor bitrfalcntcdTand'irrdustrious young man just entering the arena of life, struggling with its difficulties, be cheered by the example set before him in the life ofi the distinguished Senator from Illinois.— Senator. Douglas spoke at Winchester a few days ago to several thousand persons. In the course of his speech he gave the following reminiscence: "If there was one place he had a right to claim as his home more than any other in Illinois, it was that 'place. Twenty-five years ago^a poor boyS with his coat upon his arm, without acquaintance in the State* aud without a dollar in his pocket,*he entered .this town. Iicrc he earned his first six dollars: here he first learned to depend upon himself for a livelihood. You were the first to assist him and take him by the hand. You wore the first to promote and confer honors upon liini. After twenty-

Mr. Ilughcs, for instance, the regularly uoniinatcd Democratic candidate in the Third Congressional District of Indiana, this fall, may involve a defeat of the Democratic party of the United States, on President and Vice-President, in IStiO.— If he is defeated, the Black Republicans may have a majority iu the Congressional delegation from Indiana, and the vote of that State may decide the contest for President in the House. This is more likely to happen from the fact that Mr. Hughes has the easting vote in the present Indiana delegation, which stands six Democrats to five Republicans. Without him the vote would be reversed, and the State of Indiana would go for the Republicans.

er kindness, and the high trust and honors you have conferred upon him, and to ask you if lie has yet done anything to incur your censure: if he. has violated the trusts you have reposed in him."

We have no hope, says the reporter of these remarks, of being able to give you the words of the speaker, and the feeling they produced it is only the idea we aim at.

When Mr. D. came to a pause after speaking as above, an old gray-headed man, who had known him in those former times, raised up in front of the speaker's stand and very earnestly said, "Stephen, you'll be President yet."—N. A. Ledger.

In a few moments tho eyelids gradually, opened and displayed the eyes wearing a glassy, corpse-like stare by degrees, a life-like speculation came into them, some color returned to the face and, after stretching his limbs, the man arose from the table, resumed his coat, and walked down from the stage and mingled with the crowd.
