The Kennebec Journal has an eye to the

The dinner given to Mr. Douglas in Chi
cago was attended by some two hundred or
more gentlemen, and was brilliant affair.
After the removal of the cloth some spirited
toasts were read, among them the following
Franklin Pierce, President of the United
States Our present foreign relations attest
the wisdom of his administrations Respected
abroad and prosperous at home under the
guidance Of democratic principles, the repub-
lie is triumphantly progressing in the pathway
marked out by the trainers Of the constitution.
Air-''HaiI to the chief''
Our distinguished Guest, Stephen A.
Douglas" Massachusetts gave the Union her
Webster, Kentucky her Clay, South Carolina
her Calhoun, Michigan her Cass. Each state
is proud of her illustrious son, but can cherish
with no warmer affection their great renown,
than Illinois wears on her heart the name of
Douglas. The originator and successful adj
vocate of the Illinois Central Railroad, the
champion of state rights and constitutional
liberty. Illinois has no nobler son, the Great
West no truer friend.
Air-"See the Conquering Hero comes. -
After the cheering with which this scnti-
ment was received had somewhat subsidized,
the Hon. S. A. Douglas rose and made most
mastery speech. He dwelt upon the great
topics of the day, and enchanted the company s
attention for over an hour. AT the conclusion
he was rewarded by vociferous cheering and
hearty congratulation.

A Political Prophecy Fulfilled and
Fulfilling.

| The following extract from letter of Hon.
B F. Hallett, 10 the democratic convention at
Petersburg, Virginia, published Oct. 10, 1859,
is now becoming history =
What is to follow the defeat of General
Scott, (Which now promises to be rout and
the total disbanding of the wing party,l is
pretty well fUreshadowed in the future. Mr..
Calhoun prophesed that whichever party was
beaten at the north, in the election OF l048,
would join the abolition party. This prophe-
cy failed because the democratic party of the
north was beaten, and that party, as body,
never has deserted the Union or severed from
the SOUTH. The prophesy will be fulfilled
when the Scott wings of the north are defeated
in 1852, unless political aboiiionism shall
cease to be an element in either of the two
national parties which must always subsist in
some opposite forms, in this country. But we
may rather look for consolidation of all the
isn,s INTO an ercluSirely sectional party at the
north ,chOse uitdlity ,oH be hostility TO the south
This will revive the old struggle for northern
contederacy, which was once before attempted
in our history, when the federal party at the
north. finding they could not rule over the
whole Union determined to reign over New
England and New York That conspiracy
was defeated by the union of the democracy
north and south. 1t did not then avow abo-
litionism, but engendered it in the Hartford
convention. In that council of disunonists,
the denial of representative rights to the south,
and a prohibition against any foreign born eUer
holding any offices in the United States, were
laid down as the basis OF a northern confeder-
alton.
The new conspiracy for northern confed
Grafton will revive the old issues Of separation,
with abolitonsm alone as its basis. The pol
iticians of that school will attempt to carry
out, as between states, what some of the re-
ligiOus associations have so unwisely pressed
"a ACKNOWLEDGMENT of north and south. They
will fail, and the sectional politicians of the
north will be outvoted even by the Union men
of the north, without the aid of the south and
with that aid the democratic party as the con-
stitutional party of the Union, will be invinci-
BILE, not only in its power as the united northern
and southern democracy, but with them in such
contest will be found the whole body of
Union wings (tne commercial, manufacturing,
substantial business whigs) on the side Of the
party of the Union.
If these views are entitled to be considered,
then Virginia, and with her the south, now
stand, at the close of the first half century of
our Union, on the same high responsibility
they held in the contest between jefferson and
Adams, which, by the success of the former,
settled on the side of the people the elements
of government in this Union. Thank God,
for all time past and to come, that federal
Massachusetts failed then and democratic Vir-
ginia triumphed."

Snow STORM AND GALE AT THE WEsT.-
There was very severe storm at Buffalo
the "city Of winds'-on Monday and Tues
day of last week. The Buffalo Commercial
says that persons from the country report the
snow one foot deep seven or eight miles from
that city. In the lower part Of the city Of
Buffalo several lives were lost. The water
spread over the ''fats," and families were
driven from their tenements. In many in
stances, the houses were uprooted from their
foundations, and drifted off upon the food
Domestic animals, out-buildings, fences, fur
niture, lumber and piles of wood were set
adoat, and went with the current wherever
chance and the gale determined. The cellars
and lower floors Of more substantial buildings,
within reach of the devastation, were sub
merged, and property was destroyed to ru-
nous extent. Much damage was done on the
Lake Erie and the upper lakes.

Judson's Hotel, No. 81 Broadway, owned by
Harris Stephenson, Esq. of Montreal, occupied
by Messrs J. & P. Y. Grady took fire about s
o'clock this morning, and is completely Quilted.

Resotued, That we adhere with mistaken
confidence to the principles and policy of the
democratic party, which though always OPP

nents OF every name, stripe and hue, from the
days Of Jefferson 10 the present time. have

lions on the globe.
RESOLVED, That we retain an abiding and
nndlmnsheJ confidence in The ability and in
tegrltv Of our distinguished fe0w-citizen, Gen
eral FRANKLIN PIERCE, President Of The Uni
ted States believing that in the discharge OF
the duties OF his high trust, he has been guided

tnnaI duty, and constitutional rights that he
has proved himself true 10 the interests Of The
people, true to the principles Of civil and re-

ReSOlued, That we have full confidence in the
democracy Of Hon. George w. Morrison, The
able representative from this district, who has
this day been nominated for the next congress,
and that We will uniledly employ every hon
orable means TO secure his triumphant reelec-

The convention adjourned with three hear

respondent Of the Patriot says
can truly say that never attended POI

Ter, Intelligence and manly tone Of lis members.
The old and tried men Of the party, from al
most every town in the district were there
men who all their lives have been democrats
from principle men who in sunshine and
storm have been always true TO their party
and their professions, and whose hearts and
hands are still in The good cause. And if one
may judge from the harmony and good feeling
that universally prevailed, The democracy OF
old Hilsboro and Merimack will prove more
