SENATOR DOUGLAs.-This gentleman recently
addressed large meeting at Springfield, where
the Illinois legislature is in session. and for the
space of three hours" the report says " he en-
chained the audience with facts and reasoning
which cannot but produce an irresistible effect''
The chief subjects discussed by him were the in
structing resolutions of the last Illinois legislature
and the project of Mr.. Holbrook for acquiring Ili-
nols lands. The Springfield Register gives the fol-
lowing short summary of the Senator's speech,
promising longer report hereafter:
He first reviewed, in a mastery manner, the
Whitney railroad instructions and succeeded, with
out doubt in convincing his hearers Of the impro-
pFiety of supporting that scheme in preference to
shat recently recommended by the Chicago and
Pacific railroad meeting He also reviewed the in
structions Of the legislature in regard to the intro
duction of slavery into new territories and pointed
out the distinction between the principle involved
10 those instructions and that contained in the real
Wilmot proyiso. He had voted for the former, be-
fore Mr. WilmOt went to Congress. He called the
attention Of his hearers to law of the last session.
donating to Mr. HolbroOk all the lands that may
be acquired from Congress, TO aid in the cOnstruc-
ton OF the Central railroad, together with various
ether donations and privileges, inconsistent with
the interests Of the State

DISTRESSING SHIPwRECK.-Capt. Barstow, o
the ship Gondar, which arrived at Mobile on Fri
day night last from Boston, reports that on the 22d
Oct, in lat. 800 49, long. 72o 20 he fell in with
and boarded the wreck of the brig or schooner Tri-
este, of Harrington, Maine, full of water, and masts
gone by the board, with everything attached her
matches gone, and nothing on deck but a few hard
pine boards, washing from side to side-cargo ap-
peared to be cotton yarn. The doors of the house
on deck were washed away, with all the staterooms
and berths excepting one on the starboard side aft
in which was found dead man lying on the berth
| boards, face downward, and his arm under him !;
he was dressed in black coat and pants, with oil
cloth overall should judge he was about 9S or 40
years old, about feet inches high, light complex
ion, dark brown hair, and high forehead; he was
considerably disfgured, but could not have been
dead but few days. Under him was a letter writ
ten at Wilmington, N. c., dated August IA, l849,
signed jeremiah Grace, and appeared addressed to
his father, Richard Grace. Ii speaks of having
sailed from Savannah some time previous, the cap
tain, mate, and Haskill - all sick during the pas.
sage to Wilmington. After burying the body, Capt.
Barstow took from the wreck her starboard anchor,
which was dashed to the rail- both chains gone, e1-
cepting about Is fathOms which was bent on the
stafbOard anchor and hanging under the bows. Il
was blowing fresh at the time and hecould gel
nothing more from her. She was a fine looking
vessel, apparently about two years old. No pro
visions were found aboard, and no doubt all hand
persisted from hunger. The letter referred to hai
been sent to Mrs. J. G. Barstow, at Newcastle
Maine, where the friends of the writer may find it

little annoyance. II was some time before tn

REMOVALS FROM OFFICE. - The Washington
correspondent of the Charleston Courier says that
=" the administration have commenced a general
sweep of all the democratic incumbents of office
They retained Mr. R, H. Glllett in the Office of the
Solicitor of the Treasury, because he was prom
inent bam-bumer, and was supposed to have an
influence potent for the prevention Of union be-
tween the barn-burneTs and hunkers. As soon as
this union was, nevertheless, effected, there was no
object in retaining Mr.. Gillett Mr. Walter For
ward, who was First Comptroller, and then Sec
rotary Of the Treasury, under Mr.. Tyler, has been
appointed to the vacancy. There will be but few
democrats in office when Congress meets. 1t is said
that Major HObbie, First Assistant Postmaster
General, and Mr.. Washington, Sixth Auditor, are
to go out in a week or two, under decision of the
Cabinet

LOUISIANA SUGAR HoGsuEADs,-A correspOn-
dent ofthe ST. Louis Republican, over the signature
of " Lard" retorts on the Louisiana sugar makers
the charge lately made by the New Orleans mer-
chants against the Missouri hour-makers. The COM
municatiOn to the Republican is as follows:
l find that lately several New Orleans papers in
dulge in severe structures upon our Western men
relative to false tares on lard four etc.. and even
complain of frauds pTactised in making lard kegs
and barrels exceeding heavy, in order to cheat l
have no doubt that some unprinciped rascal has
been guilty of the like but it seems to me that the
blame of such rascaity ought not to be cast on the
people of the West generally, who, as body, con-
denim such acts as much as any other set of men.
But, sir would like to inform these New Orleans
papers, that we in the West have like grievances
to complain Of For instance, the tare allowed on
sugar is ten per cent. for the weight of the hogs
head. Well, large portion of theg hOgsheads
made in louisiana weigh more than their tare, and
some are evidently made purpOsely heavy-staves
only Clipped off in the centre, and the remainder
left three and four inches thick / am credbly in
formed that some planters get green timber on pur-
pose to make sugar hogshead heads, in order to
weigh more, and that some of these heads have
been seen some six and seven inches thick, when
they need not be more than one TO one and half.
Also, some mOlasses barrels are made with obOng
heads so as to guage more than they actually con-
tain. But that is not all. | am told that almost
every merchant dealing in sugar purchased on the
levee in New Orleans, will bear me out in stating
that good deal of the sugar weighed on the evee
in NewOrleans, does not hold out weight, and that
IN many instances egregtOuS discrepancies (chaTit
| ably speakng) occur, whereby the Western meT.
| chant is made to lose largely.

MISS FULLER.-The Louisville Journal, though
not Bympathizing with many of the opinions and
views entertained by our literary countrywoman
Miss Fuller, generously repels certain coarse at
lacks which some papers have made on that lady.
For ourselves we are not only proud, as Ameri-
cans, of Miss Fuller's literary reputation, but we
also admire in her that strength of mind, not com
mon in her sex, which has enabled her TO rise
above the conventional views that subdue the
souls Of almost all women, and to comprehend the
real tendencies and necessities of the age in which
her lot is cast We take pleasure in copying the
article Of the Journal:
The editor Of the Cincinnati Chronicle INDUCES
In what seems TO US to be most uncalled for and
unlushhable sneer, when speaking of the marriage
Of Miss s. M. Fuller 70 an Italian count. What
there is in her manners and morals to excite the
Indignation OF our respected contemporary we know
not. But we do know that when he speaks Of
Miss Fuller as writing letters after the fashion of
Tom Paine, he makes a singuaFIy unfortunate
statement. We have read the letters written by
Miss Fuller during her soourn in Europe, and
although they contain socalistic doctrines in which
we do not believe, yet we have seen nothing else
objectionable in them. We regard Miss Fuller as
woman of extraordinary talent, aud her writings
are no less noted for vgoT and style than Cor rich
ness and cOmprehensiVeneRs Of thinking, She is
more philosophical than we prefer women to be,
but we have yet TO learn that philosophy crime
even in a woman We have not seen any of those
evidences of rreligion which have excited the in
dignatlOn and of the editor Of the Chronicle
Miss Fuller takes deep interest in all the great
phianthropic movements of the day. She thinks
reform is needed in political, social, and moral
matters, and has expressed herself very freely in
relation TO them, but never with any indelcacy.
She is an ardent republican, and has taken keen
interest in the recent political struggles in Europe.
Allan Cunningham, in speaking Of Mary Woston-
craft said the cap of liberty fell ON her heart as
q on hIt mil
be truthfuly made of Margaret Fuller We do
not wonder that her opinions in relation to progress
should be offensive to the conservatism of the Gin
cinnati editor, but do wonder that his gallantry
and literary taste did not prOecta woman Of extra
ordinary power as writer from his sneeTs.
