SENATOR DOUGLAS, SPEECH.

We have never known the Democracy more enthusiastic
and delighted than they Friday night with the
tey speech Of Senator Douglas Of Illinois. The African
Church was filled and we pleased to the audience
eraced by the presence Of many fair daughters OF Richmond
After sensible and animated appeal from President Pate
son. and the transaction OF some business preparatory
party organzaon Senator Douglas escorted 10 The
stand by Messrs Il. G. Scott Dr. Robt Butler and R. O..
Haskins On entering Senator ID. loudly chcered and
the same buoyant and happy spirit continued until The close
OF his two hours speech when nine rousing cheers
given for the able and eloquent Young Gan of the Wes
and glorious We shall attempt sketch
of the strong points of this, among best and eec
tive speeches have heard and which carried convc
lion 10 the hearts of the large and deeply attentive audience
We hope to lay before the people Of the State full
and accurate report Of this speech Its general circulation
will produce decided influence the public mind.
Senator d. while doing full justice the brilliant militia
ry services and galantry of Gen. Scott handled "Poi
clan" Scott without gloves He took up his letter of
eepance, most skifuy and thoroughly dssected H. limb by
limb and proved that garing eeclionee!ng and tricky
document could not have been written by Gen. Scott the
frank and manly soldier bu, by Politician Scott under the
guidance and control Of General Seward. Bursts of merr
called forth by the humorous in which he
conducted his surgical operation and laid bare tho defom
ties of Seward Scottish At other moments deep feeling
aroused by the alarming picture OF danger 10 the Union
and TO beloved institutions, should Sewardsm triumph
In the person of Gen. Scott Senator Douglas portrauIe
Gen Pierce was in fine TASTE and served rivet the aec
ton wiki which the Virginia Democracy regard their hon
ored standard bearer But will do injustice TO this
admirable speech-we commend it to readers, as il

The NonInees.

The Democratic press are diligent in glorifyinR
General Pierce for his unknown virtues, and
striving to get up an enthusiasm. They shout al
furious rate, and affect frantic delight at the
overthrow Of all their prominent men and the
nomination Of one hitherto unknown. This is
very remarkable. For months and years, Cass,
Buchanan, Douglas Butler Houston, Marcy, have
! been held up to the country, by the various mem
bers Of the party, as the first and foremost states
men of the age and now that n of them hav"
been unceremoniously set aside. the Joy OF the
whole party knows no bounds 1t certainly IS
curious spectacle for the contemplation OF re-
1ecting men "The king is dead-long 1--we the
king !" is the common exclamation on the demise
of one and the accession Of another monarch in
monarchcal governments. But that does not
preclude becoming funeral honors for the de-
| funct In this case, however oil the common
decencies are disregarded. The illustrious de-
feated are not only overslaughed and spit upon,
but they nre forced to walk in procession and
throw up their caps in honor Of their obscure and
insignificant conqueror. The paths of Demo
cratic glory lead but to defeat.
The strength of the ticket is Of an entirely
negative character, and that doubtless recon-
mended its adoption, 1t was supposed that Gen.
Pierces career, having been very obscure, was
thereby shielded from attack, and the adversary
party would be compelled to occupy defensive
attitude throughout the campaign. 1t is true that
Gen. Pierce has shed no dazzling blaze of glory
upon his course; but he has been a member of
Congress, and in Congress the ayes and noes are
recorded These tell tale, and. to the horror of
the Baltimore intriguers, disclose poshre weak
ness in the ticket in the ruling section of the
Union All General Pierces votes are recorded
against every measure which had for its object
the development of the resources OF the great
West. That we predict will prove ta'oI to h'm
and to his pretensions Rtchmond WhW

The Democracy and the Compromise.
We quote the following from the Southern
Press of yesterday:
We have received the following from one of
the ablest and most distinguished men of the
South 1t is one of the most witherng com
mentaries on the Compromise we have yet seen
and although it comes rather NAL dpropos al
the present time, we do not feel ourselves n
liberty to withhold it. We could not say anything
so cruel ourselves:
"THE SEcED1NG WnIGs--I think the Wing.
who bolted from the Whig caucus and published
an address to justify their course decidedly in
the wrong, which will plainly appear from th'
! following extract from their address. Afte
speaking of the Missouri compromise, anc
alluding to the adjustment of 1850, they say
"'A new compromise was made worthy th
balance of power, was yielded by the savehold
ing States, and the rens of empire were delivered
up to the free States by the admission of Cali
fornia into the Onion
.'This is true, shamefuy true, and shame
essly avowed. And by whom was this done
By the very men who now trumpet forth their
own shame and the degradation and ruin of their
own section of the country
But this was not the language held in Mis-
sissippi, Alabama, Georgia, &C., in 1851. Their
the Compromise was a just and liberal and fail
settlement of the vexed questions between us ant
our Northern brethren.
"What submissionist told the people that tn
'reins of empire were delivered up by the slave
holding States y
But this is not my object. | started to show
that the seceders were wrong. What right have
they who have surrendered the reins Of empire
to the North TO claim to control the South?
'To assume to do so is to reverse the natural
order of things, and Mt the same time lose all the
merit of their inglorous surrender.
+" These men knew rs we'll two years ago as
they do now that it was abolitionism which
grasped all the territory conquered from Mexico.
They now know that when they delivered up
the reins of empire for which there was no
constitutional provision, they lost the power to
enforce the delivering up of fugitive slaves,
for which there is a constitutional provision.
I" Men who deliver up the reins of empire
oppose the right of secession, and denounce those
who are not willing to deliver up as traitors,
have hut one course left-which is, to submit
without murmuring. They are in state Of vol
untary serfdom and they should bear in mind
that discontented slave annoys his master and
brings misery on himself "

Colonel Benton and Mr.. Clay.

In late speech, Colonel Benton, after casti-
eating his enemies in the most merciless style,
referred incidentally to the old and long-ago-ex-
ploded charge of bargain and corruption
made against Messrs Adams and Clay, and gave
his testimony in the following emphatic terms:
81 never joined in the accusation of bargain
against Mr. Clay and Mr. Adams ] condemn
the support he gave Mr.. Adams, on the Demo-
cratic principle that the win of the people
ought TO be obeyed, but on oil proper occasions,
and in the presence of their friends, expressed
disbelief of the imputed bargain, founded on my
early knowledge of Mr.. Clays intention to vote
for Mr. Adams and | believe | knew it before
Mr.. Adams did himself These declarations OF
mine went into the public papers and came to
general knowledge. Mr. Clay, in consequence,
wrote me n letter of thanks for this voluntary
and faithful testimony, as he termed 1t, which
now have here TO show.
rColonel Benton read from the original copy
the following
