TIIE JOURNAL ON JUDGE IJT.AKE. .Our cotcniporary of the Journal, devotes a considerable portion of his columns in reviewing the speech of Judge BLAKE, dclivered here on last Saturday. As a criticism upon the Judge's effort, it is a weak and silly production. One of the many purile objections urged agaiust the Judge's election is, that lie would be no credit to the District. Now, in nil candor, we ask our cotempornry, if Jim Wilson has reflected any credit upon the Eighth District since his election Aside from his juvenile pieco of dcclamatiou on the Campbell contested election case, what prodigies has ho performed in the halls of Congress?— lias he been a faithful and industrious scrY&nt of the people If so, how- comes it that ho was out of his scat for days and weeks, and neglected to vote on one hund-

red atul sixty important measures. These are facts, stubborn facts, that demand an explanation, and which our cotemporary and the lilliputian villifiers of the Judge shoald answer, before taxing the weak in ,vention of their brains to traducc and mis represent one who i9, in every respect, in tellcctually and morally, the superior of

JUDGE IIOI.LOWAY TURNS COLPORTBUR.r_

Everybody of course, knows that Judge Flolloway has been for the last six months, passing himself off for a Douglass man.— This was a task assigned him by Jim Wilson, to curry favor with a certain portion of the Democratic party. Well, the Judg'e has been playing stool pigeon to the best of his ability, but with little success. On last Mondayj he attended the Democratic appointment at Centre School House, in Walnut township. He brought with him a large carpet sack filled with Trumbell's speeches, which he circulated through the crowd. This spccch of Trumbell's, is a violent denunciation of Judge Douglas, and tho Republicans as well as Democrats, were surprised at Hollaway circulating them. We make mention of this simple fact to show the duplicity of Jim Wilson and his toadies.

CSftt will be recollected that the legislature of Michigan appropriated, at their extra session last winter, the sum of 810, 000 for the relief of "bleeding Kansas."— Tho Democratic papers in that State are anxious to know what has become of the money, as only one thousand dollars are as yet accounted for by the Stale Treasurer in his recent report. It is easier to "square the circle" than to dctect the whereabouts of the public money after Republican sharpers have had the fingerings of it, as our Michigan friends will doubtless ascertain to their entire satisfaction.

THE COMET.

A good deal of speculation has been indulged in by many of the newspapers throughout the country about the Comet now visible. From tho fact of its appearing in the west about eight o'clock in the evening, and again in the east at three or four in the morning, "it has been stated by somewhat emiuent astronomers that there are two distinct Comets. The following extract from a letter in the Buffalo Exjircss, from the pen of a scientific man, explains and explodes this idea. He says:

The body in question is the Comet which has been some time visible, and has been noticed in most of the newspapers. It has now reached apart of its orbit so far north, that in its diurnal revolution it is only about five hours below our horizon, and consequently it is well soeu in the west in the evening, and equally well*in the east in the morning, and with the naked eye.— As to what particular Comet this is, there has been, as yet, no indentifiiation of it, and all conjectures upon this point are merely futile. It may, or it may not have been seen before and the same uncertainty exists with regard to the two other Comets (both telescopic) that arc now visible to those who possess the requsite instruments for observing them.

A MTSTERIOUS AFFAIR.—A Mrs. Bumsoy, of Pcruc, Indiana, was arrested a few days since, charged with murdering her husband, with whom she had not lived for some time. The Sentinel says:

Mrs. Rumscy called at her husband's boarding house and requested him to go with her to one of the hotels and stay all night. He objected, and asked her to stay with him, which she agreed to do. This morning Mrs. R. came down stairs and told Mr. B.'s family that she was going to Ohio on a visit, and bade them good bve. A short time after, Mr. B. had occasion to go to Mr. Rumsey's room. He called to him that it was time to get up, but receiving no answer, went to the bed and found him a corpse. t. ,u

jGUfcE-A-T SPEECH or

WILLIAM H. SCHOOLER,

Delivered at Shaimondale, on Monday niglU, the 21th of September. MR. EDITOR:—I send, you the following Speech which the Democrats of this township wish you to publish. .. FRANKLI?I.

MT FELLOW CITIZENS As you well know, I am the Sheriff of your county.— That office has twice been bestowed upon me, and although the Constitution of the Stato very explicitly says, that no man shall be eligible for that officc more than for two successive terms, I very magnanimously declined a rcuoinination, and after great persuasion on the part of my disinterested self and a few others, reluctantly consented to accept the nomination for County Treasurer, which after an almost superhuman exertion on my part, I sue ccedcd in obtaining, notwithstanding the efforts of Messrs. Walkup, Heaton and Fry, who very foolishly wanted to carry the burden themselves. The manner in which I obtained this nomination, fellow citizens, was very simple. I made many in the county believe that I was the "only man

that could beat John Lee." I affected a great indifference, and at times complained of the boys forcing the nomination upon me. [The crowd here lauglied a little.] Suffice it to say, my fellow citizens, that I euchered every one of my competitors, and now in order to make my election sure, I shall need more or less Democratic votes and in order to secure these, I have carefully avoided, as I have always done, saying anything against that time honored party. No Democrat ever heard me say one word about that humbug, "Bleeding Kansas," or argue in favor of the election of any Republican candidate but myself. Not I, my fellow citizens! I'm a little too sharp for that! Now, to secure my election, I use the following tactics: 1st. Charge myself with .being a great black-leg. 2d. That I have time and again played cards in the Court House.

-L

3d. That I am not the most moral man that ever lived, "but reckon about an average."

These things I come over in a sort of clownish way, mimicking and acting the fool generally, so as to leavo the impression that these charges arc all lies, and that I am a much abused individual, and withal an uncommon sharp politician, that cannot fail of being elected. itli this sort of buffoonery and artful dodging, I expect to make some of the boys laugh and grin, and many of 'em no doubt will vote for ine on account of my being so sharp and witty. The truth is, my fellow citizens, I have straddled the Republican party and rode it through two heats, and like the "Old M«n of the Pea," I om not to bo dioplnood or jostled from my scat, but with tho aid of a few Democratic votes I shall ride it as long as whip and spur can galvanize any life into its carcass. Christopher Columbus Walkup, through the artfulness of Uncle Smoothing Iron (John Beard,) and my mermaid story of the succession, has entirely dried up his disaffection, and he is now stumping tho county for two purposes—one to assist me in making votes, and the other to pave the way for his own nomination in 18G0. [The crmcd here took a big laugh.] I will right here remark, my fellow citizens, that Christopher is a firm believer in the Sea Serpent and the wrongs of that bleeding damsel, Kansas. [The crotcd at this point got right up and howled.] My fellow citizens, I want you to applaud and laugh at everything I say, no matter whether it sounds sharp or not, for it has a wonderful effect upon certain votes that I can snare in no other way. I have left no stone unturned to make votes. Why, my fellow citizens, I have even laid traps for the Greeks In order to get their votes I resort to the following dodge I charge around that my enemies accuse me of sympathising with the Irish in the destruction of their doggorics, and at the same time have my stoolpigeons insinuating among the destructionists that "Schooler is all right—for the boys to go ahead—that there is no danger." Thus you see I create two seperate impressions—in other words, kill two birds with one stone. [Great laughing at this jwint..]

My Republican friends gas a great deal about the Dred Scott decision. Now my fellow citizens, that decision never bothered me. Tho decision that interests me most is the decision in October. If the people decide against me, I shall bo very much displeased, and satisfied that political buffoonery and low cunning is at a discount. I am, my fellow dupes—citizens I should say, a Schooler man. I want the votes of both parties, and unless a goodly portion of tho Old Liners come to the rescue, I shall lose my seat on the shoulders of the Republicans. If I can secure my election for the office of Treasurer, I shall

requested a private interview to: draw up the papers, making a regular bill of silc of every Republican in Walnut Township. Every effort made to quiet Christopher was unavailing, until the day of the Convention, when Uncle Smoothing Iron and myself decoyed hin» into the small brick, immediately north-east of the Court House, and there, while I held his hands, Johnny applied the oil to his nostrils. The effect wa3 almost instantaneous. Christopher became perfectly tractable and docile, and in five Hiinutes from the time of making the application, he was shouting lustily for me, and made a strong Republican speech at the close of the Convention. Now my fellow citizens, don't you think I am deci dedly a sharp individual, a cool hawk, a whangdoodle politician, and just the man to catch votes Of course you do. No Quaker can refuse me his vote. My being on the Republican ticket is a 'sufficient guaranty as to my abhorrence of gaming. [Here the crowd laughed for five minutes.] No man who does play will refuse his support, because he knows that I'm science in a game of herds, in other words that "I'm one of 'cm"

I thank you my fellow citizens for your attention, and trust that every one of you will vote for me on the 12th of October.

A FACT.

This fact should be borne in mind: Slavery has no foothold in any of the organized Territories of the United States: *.

Kansas is free. •Nebraska is free/

3

'Utah is free. «?:.« Oregon is free. Washington is free.

Dakotah is free. New Mexico is free.'

The above comprise all our organized Territories'. There is no intelligent man North or South who believes that a slave Stato will be made out of any of those Territories, or out of any unorganized Territory nob embraced within the limits of the State of Texas. The Democracy have had possession of the Government nearly all the time since 1800, and if their policy leads to the extension of slavery into free territory, why is it that to day all of the latter are free and that nobody expects to sec slavery established as an institution in any of them? The story about slavery extension is all bosh and gammon? The Government at Washington has no power to extend or contract it. The wliolo subject is left to "the people of the States and Territories'themselves, and they will do as they please, without caring for the sentiment of outsiders.

REPUBLICAN SYMPATHY FOK JUDGE DOUGLAS. Read what the New Albany Ledger, an Anfi-Lccompton paper, says of Repubh can sympathy for Douglas:

The Black Republicans of Indiana profess to have great sympathy for Judge Douglas, yet wc sec they have imported Senator Trumbull, of Illinois to make speeches for them. Now it is well known that Trumbull is the most bitter, the most violent., the most uncompromising enemy of Judge Douglas, and is pursuing him in his contest in Illinois with the ferocity of a wild beast. Tho action of the Black Republicans of Indiana, in importing this foul-mouthed slanderer of Douglas, speal louder than any words they can utter. If Douglas is defeated, none will throw up their hats and shout more lustily than they.

II I(Q|^ A

KaF" Mr. Emerson, in his English Traits, thus speaks of the London Times: The most conspicuous result of this talent is the 'Tunes' newspaper. No power in England is more felt, more feared, or more ^obeyed. What you read in the morning in that journal, you shall hear in the evening in all society. It has ears everywhere, and its information is earliest completest and surest. It has risen year by year and victory by victory, to its present authority. I asked one of its oldest contributors whether it had once been abler than it is now? 'Never,' he said: 'these are its palmiest days.' It has shown those qualities that are dear to Englishmen, unflinching adherence to its objects, prodigal intellectual ability and a towering assurance, backed by the perfect organization of its printing-house, and its world-wide net-work of correspondence and reports. It has its own history and famous'trophies. Tn 1820 it adopted the cause of queen Caroline, and carried it against the king. It adopted a poor-law system, and almost alone lifted it through. When Lord Brougham was in power, it decided against him and pulled him down: It declared war against Ireland, and conquered it. It adopted the league against the corn laws, and when Cobden had begun to despair, it announced his triumph. It denounced and discredited the French republic of 1848, and checked every sympathy with it in England, until it had enrolled 200,000 special constables to watch the Chartists and make them ridiculous on the 16th of April. It first denounced and then adopted the new French empire, and urged the French alliance and its results. It has entered into each municipal literary and social question, almost with a controlling voice. It has done bold and seasonable service in exposing frauds which threatened the commercial community. Meantime it attacks its rivals by perfecting its printing machinery, and will drive them out of circulation for the only limit to the circulation of the Times is the impossibility of printing copies fast enough: since a daily paper can only be new and seasonable for a few hours. It will kill all but that paper which is diam-

etrically in opposition since many paper

course is to be kept dark from Christopher until after the election. Should he however get any ways restive or suspicious of foul play, Uncle Smoothing Iron will only have to apply oil of rhodum to his nostrils. One application, my fellow citizens, of this great oil is amply sufficient to quiet the most fractious Republican. Why, my fellow citizens, the day before the Republican Convention, Christopher came up to town with along speech written out, in which he denounced the Republican party in the most bitter terms, and was unsparing in his abuse of mo. He even made proposals to Bowen, of the Review, to sell out. and

THE CHARTER OAK.—The locality, in Hartford, on which the famous Charter Oak stood is now being cut up and laid out into building spots. Already the masons have commenced the foundations for new palaces. Choice fruit and ornamental trees have been trodden under foot, and even the stump of the famous old Charter Oak has been dug up, and nothing now remains to mark the spot where the tree that protected the Charter of Connetieut once stood, and upon whose branches generations have gazed with wonder and admiration.— Ere long the precise spot upon which the tree stood may become a question of dis-pute-—Hartford Times.

Fortbe Review.

opEiqib OF" THE LADOGA ACADEMY Olf THE EVENING OF SEPT. 15. The friends of this Institution and citizens. of Ladoga met in the Academy Chapel, by an invitation of the Trustees, for the purpose of an informal dedication and social enjoyment.

Rev. O. B: Wilson' presided, and opened the exercises by prayer and stated the object of the meeting and the order to be observed. George Milani's string band discoursed very fine music on the occasion, much to their credit and to the satisfaction of all present.

R. M. Johnson, Principal of the Institution, was called out by the audience and spoke some twenty minutes, reviewing the: progress of science and the great developments and changes that science has wrought showing the condition of our ancestors compared with our present circumstances that with our ancestors, even of old Colchester, in England, five hundred years ago, the tools and furniture of the rich were inferior to the tools and furniture of the very poor of the present day, and their clothing was spun by the Dystaff, and a whole set of carpenter's tools were. valued at one shilling. He then showed an Indian hatchet of the most perfect construction, of stone, with an eye drilled through it. He then closed after a good many happy remarks, with a tribute to the carpenter's who had so nobly, performed their work in building the Academy—a building so commodious, so durable and so beautiful—by offering a sentiment:

To the founders of the Ladoga Academy —May they never cease their well doing, and after they have lived long to enjoy their brightest anticipations, may the clods of the valley rest lightly on their manes and flowers of peace grow over their graves in perennial fragrance.

D. C. Stover, after music from the band, was called on to respond to the sentiment, and followed in a short speech of some twenty minutes. He reviewed the rise and progress of educational facilities in this community for the last twenty-five years, giving several anecdotes in regard to the first, sccond and third schools of this part of the country telling many incidents connectcd with the old cabin school houses, rail benches and big fire places, and such like, much to the entertainment and amusement of the audience.

Jesse Waldon, A. B., first assistant, was then called on and made an interesting and appropriate address of some fifteen minutes, on the advantages derived from such institutions of learning. He said that tlie human mind by science could be touched and awakened to life and activity that education unlocked the talent, sparks of intellect and let the human soul expand and develop its mighty powers.

Dr. H. Labarce then spoke some fifteen minutes, displaying much wit and good humor, to the mirth of the audicncc and particularly the ladies.

Rev. Gibbon Williams, Superintendent of the Ladoga Female Seminary, being called on, responded to a sentiment offered by Professor Johnson: May the students of the Ladoga Academy and Ladoga Female Seminary be ever as industrious as their fathers and mothers, and prove an honor to themselves, their country and the two institutions.

After some very appropriate remarks from O. B. Wilson, the young ladies waited on the audience with a bountiful supply of excellent cake and lemonade, and the cxerciscs were concluded to the entire satisfaction and good feeling of all, with the hope that the course of the Ladoga Academy may prove as glorious and prosperous as its opening was brilliant.

VERITAS.

SENATOR BROWN ON DOUGLAS. A complimentary barbecue was given to Hon. Albert G. Brown, Senator from Mississippi, at Ilazleburst, in that State, on the lltli inst. Tho attendance was very large, and the spccch of Mr. Brown a very able one. We clip the following from it relating to the contest in Illinois between Douglas and Lincoln

And now, fellow-citizens, having men tioned the name of Douglas, allow me to digress so far as to say my sympathies arc not with those who indulge in wholesale denunciation of him. lie is more honest, more consistant, more the friend of the Constitution and the rights of the States, md a beiter Democrat than nineteenths of those in the free States who abuse him.— He is a giant in intellect, a giant in will, giant in eloquence, a giant in every thing that makes up the characteristics of a great man, and I hope he may thrash Abolition Lincoln out of his boots.

I need not say that I differed with Douglas on tho Kansas Lecompton question.— We met in debate—wc discussed the question, I hope like Senators—we differed in the end as we had differed in the beginning, but we parted as we had met, friends.

If I could get a man of my own faith, I would gladly take him. But God forbid that I should discard a great man like Douglas, who differs with me on one point, and take a small man like Lincoln who .agrees with me in nothing.

These are the views of almost the entire Democracy of the South, who arc far more liberal to those who do not agree with them in all things, than some Northern Democrats.

TIIE SNAPPLSIINESS OF JOIIN BULL. The London Times of August 30, shows how John Bull is piqued by the American co-operation in China with Russia in the late negotiations. It says:

"The Russ and the American, whstsc position was so little dignified in the tearlike transactions, have received some reward for tiieir officious zeal in doing the part of go-betvxen. The Russ," ignoininiously expelled from the mouth of the Peiho, when he went there in a single steamer, awl the American, so cruelly snubbedby Yeh when he made a tender of his sympathy, go up in the wake of an English and French fleet, and are permitted to curry favor by conveying Mandarins and messages. Owing the toleration of their presence entirely to our force, they receive a treaty as the guerdon of their rather menial offices. What the amount of these ready concessions is we are not told. It does not much matter, for England and France united are too strong to allow any mediators to cross their paXh.

Such talk is rather opposed tb the peaceful professions we have lately heard from that quarter

f^r-

AN ELOQUENT REMONSTRANCE. Under the caption of "Judge Douglas and his Position before "the Country— Washington Union and ita Pnlaughts upon the same," &c., we find in the Richmond

Enquirer of Scpt. 21, the following stern remonstrance against the course pursued towards Judge Douglas by the marplots at Washington, and eloquent appeal to the people of the South and the Union to sustain the Illinois statesman. It is signed by "A Jackson Democrat," and has the ring of the true metal:

Messrs. Editors—It is said that "fair play is a jewel," in morals as well ,as in politics. That being true, then whyi this orusade against Judge Douglas, of Illinois? Why is it that the Black Republicans and administration Democratic bolters both op-: pose the re-election of Judge Douglas to the United States Senate? Why is.it that the State of. Illinois is now being flooded by the agents and tools of the "Washington Union," with documents to.break down the "Little Giant/' and to elect Lincoln Whyis it that the clerks in Washington are' abused by thfe same organ because they will not contribute to carry out the purposes of Wendell? Is it to promote the interest, of the Democratic party that this impertinent interference in the affairs of Illinois is resorted to? It cannot possibly be so in the nature of things but its sole object: is clearly and unmistakably to defeat Douglas. And why, I ask? Be cause he represented Illinois on the Kansas question had the boldness to stand up iu Congress arid defend the rights and interests of his constituents. What else could ho have done? What more could have been dreamed of, save to represent the people of his own State, who had elected him to the United States Senate, to represent their sovereignty? Did not Mr. Buchanan vote for the tariff of 1828, aye, and for the tariff of 1842, and justify that vote upon the ground that he was carrying out the wishes and will of his constituents in Pennsylvania? Did not Silas Wright, also, do the same thing in voting for the tariff of 1842, and claimed for his defence that he was representing tho great State of Now York Certainly. And why cannot the party award to Judge Douglas, also, an equal share of like justice? Why. the idea of not doing so is simply ridiculous and absurd in the extreme.

Now it will be plainly seen that here is a- great constitutional question, against which the whole Democratic party voted in the United States Senate in Ijjj-Si,"vritli the two cxccptions_al©vo-iiamcd. Mr. W. C.-Rives himself declared it to be a measure more odious than tho tariff of 1828, and yet neither Jas. Buchanan or Silas Wright were handed down by the party for that vote, as Stephen A. Douglas is now being treated he having imitated the examples, yea, pursued the very identical course taken by these two statesmen, neither of whom experienced any rebuke and the little giant deserves more credit than either of those men did, because he not only carried out the will of his constituents, but, more than that, lie was true to the Democratic principles, defended the Nebraska Kansas bill, and planted himself on the Cincinnati platform, and stands there now, defying all odds and all numbers. On the contrary, Silas Wright was afterwards taken up and run by the Democratic party of New York in 1844 as their candidate for Governor, which carried that Stato for James K. Polk in the same year for President, between him and Henry Clay. And so also in regard to Mr. Buchanan so far from treating him as Mr. Douglas is now experiencing at the hands of the Administration party, President Polk honored him with the office of Secretary of State, which was a popular move—as it proved to be. These arc facts which no man dare deny. And now the miserable, mortifying spectacle is presented of the greatest sinner, through his friends, for I will not agree that it meets with Mr. Buchanan's sanction, trying to defeat Judge Douglas for representing the State of Illinois on the Kansas question. Verily, the party will have their reward f„-r such conduct.

Again, is it not known to the world that G-en. John S. Millson, of this State, voted

My Democratic brethren, will you, in madness and desperation, sink the great ship of Democracy, with the prccious freight on board, just to gratify the miserable, sordid notions of the Washington Union Forbid it, justice! Forbid it, ye freemen, who fight for principles and not for spoils. I call on you as one who has reflected well on this subject—who is, out and out, a Democrat and a friend to the Union as one who will not and never intends to sacrifice one cardinal principle to save those that be in power, they having gone contrary to their crecd I beseech you not to lend yourselves to such unholy purposes, nor to engage in an effort to crush one whose body is covered over with scars and wounds received in defence of the great principle of your party. I will not depict the conscquences which must and will follow. Governor Wise has long since done that. His advice had better been heeded last winter, for it would have certainly prevented this deplorable state of things which is about to overtake the party. It is enough to know that a gallant defender of the rights of the South has been stricken down to gratify the personal prejudices of the Washington Union, whose friendship for the South (in the hands of it3 present owners,) no man ever knew to extend further than its proximity with the public printing. Who ever heard of Wendell in the South, unconnected with the public printing? What service has he ever rendered us What sacrifices has he ever made? None—none whatever and has now only "crooked the pregnant hinges of his knees, that thrift may follow."

How ifl it with Douglas In out of season, he has been with xd. WHenj Southern Senators stood silent, his owion voice has been heard above tho din and clamor of the abolitionists, proclaimingjtbe equality of the States, the constitutional rights of tho South and the Union—this ho has dono, not to save himself, but because it was a duty he'owed alike to tho NorMi, the South, tho East, and the West, and especially to his constituents, who desired that the constitutional rights of every section of the Union should be sedulously guarded. Strike him down, and his gAl-' lant defenders who hare stood by him in defence of your rights, and what follows A wreck, crushing and overwhelming the whole Northwest laid in "rains/ by thoao who have received their 'aid and comfort in the darkest hours of their war with the Abolitionists—I cannot I will not believe it. Let the" "Washington Union" fret and frown as it may, but if woof the Sonth know our rights, our principles, and har« any gratitude, Douglas must and will be sustained, the howling of the "Washington Union" to the contrary notwithstanding.

I pray you to look to Hlinois, at tho scenes there passing. See Douglas stand" ing alone, battling for tho principle^ of the Nebraska bill, .fighting in defence of the Dred Scott decision no voice to cheer him on assailed in front and in the rear by Lincoln, Trumbull, Blair, and the whole herd of Free Soilers and Black Republicans. Still, undaunted, he deals his Wdws right and left, defying all. odds and all numbers arid shall we of the South especially you of the press, look on in silence, and not rebuke the unwarranted interference of the "Washington Union?" If the editor of that sheet was there in person, he would be crushed to atoms not so, however he fires from his batteries at a distance, in the bushes, secure from harm, and with the hopes of the spoils in the distance. Clear the ring, I pray you, that the defenders of the rights of tho Sonth may have a fair field, and an open fight.— Do this, and Democratic principles will triumph, and the causo of the people 'bo justified and defended

A JACKSON DEMOCRAT.

-J DOUGLAS AT DANVILLE. U.t Senator Douglas had a most imposing reception by the Democracy of Vermillion County, 111., at Danville, the county scat, on the 21st. The St. Louis Republican's correspondent says of the affair:

He arrived at between four and fivo o'clock yesterday morning, and was, likely, much astonished to find so magnificent reception awaiting him at that hour, when the clouds of night had not yet dissipated.

Away off the up-shooting flame of an immense bonfire told that the people wero astir, and when lie ncarcd the depot tho crack of a repeater told that ho was about to become the recipient of a favor at tho hands of his constituents. Arrived at the station and the cars stopped, there could be heard the sweet sounds of martial-mu-sic, and there could be seen the appearance as of many men. Ushered into a carriage lie was by this large crowd cscortcd to the hotel where, early as it was, he was visited by several hundreds of citizens.— A little rest and the business of reception was renewed until the time came for speak-

I will not describe tho procession which attended him to the grove, other than to say that each State was represented by a young lady seated on horseback, all being dressed with uniformity and taste, and to remark that the number of those marching with loud cheers through the streets was certainly not less than three thousand.— On reaching the stand the States' representatives were seated surrounding tho •Judge, who, from the midst of this galaxy of beauty, addressed, probably, as many as eight thousand of his constituents.

During his speaking Mr. D. was frequently interrupted by vociferous applause. When he had concluded a perfect shower of flowers descended around him.

As a specimen of the warfare waged by the Republicans, I may mention that some malicious scoundrels besmeared the carriage in which the Judge was cxpccted to rule with most loathsome dirt. One of the

Was he hounded down by his in his hurry to get off, has been traced up, and the probability is that he will discover Democratic constituents for that vote No, no true and loyal as they were to the principles of their party they forgave him his sin and sent him back to the Congress of the United States. But not so with

who hired him for the dirty work.

A story about tho "Dauphin" Williams appears in the Buffalo Commercial,

Douglas, for he was burnt in effigy by the I to the effect that, many years ago, the rev-

vile Abolitionists of his State for voting for that bill. He, who dared to stand up face to face in Chicago before the infuriated mob and compel them to rescind their resolutions of censure against him, is now to be put down by the Washington Union, that vile sheet of corruption, which has betrayed, and still continues to betray, the Democratic party and its principles to this day. And for what Why, that he may receive Black Republican votes enough in the next Congress to make him public printer. Oh, shame! shame! where is thy blush

crend gentleman applied to an Oneida Soothsayer, to know whether his claims would be acknowledged, and when. Tho prophet told him that the time would como when they would be admitted, should Williams live long enough. "You will live long," said the prophet, "as long as this house shall stand but that you will live until the day and hour shall come, I cannot say." The teacher glanced at the solid timbers of his house with exultation, asking no longer time for life than should be acceded to the solid walls that encompassed him. It i3 said that this house was torn down on the day of Williams' death. He had not lived long enough to solve tho mystery.

CAUSE FOR PRAISE.—From the wholo surface of the ocean, says Dr. Dick, there arise, every twelve hours, no less than thirty millions of millions of cubic feet of water, which is sufficient to supply all the rivers of the earth. This immense body of water is formed into clouds, and carried over every part of the continents and again it is condensed into rain, snow or dews, which water and fertalize the earth.— Should this process ccxse, we might wash our clothes, but centuries would not dry them, for evaporation idone produces this effect vegetation would wither the rivers would swell the ocean the operations of nature would cease. So close is the connection between this process and vegetablo and animal life. Praise the Lord, "for ho causcth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth."

The Republicans charge reckless

extravagance upon the Administration, yet Republican members of Congress from this State voted for the appropriations. Either the charge is wrong or tho Republicans are guilty of aiding and abetting extrravagance.

To TAKE INK OUT OF LINEN.—Editors and clerks will learn with pleasure, that to take apiece of tallow, melt it, and dip the spotted part of tho linen into the melted tallow, the linen may be washed, and the spot will disappear without injuring the linen.
