Senator Douglas on Slavery.

The following brief and comprehensive re- ply was sent by Judge Douglas, to an invita- ton to lecture in Boston during the coming win ter, on the subject of slavery:
 Cticago, Sept II, 1855.
 GENTLEMEN:-I have the honor to acknowl- edge the recept of your polite invitation to de- liver lecture on the subject of slavery at the Fremont Temple in Boston, on the7 7.h of Feb ruary next, or at such time during the next winter as my convenience will permit. Regard ing slavery as domestic regulation, which de- rives its existence and support from the local laws of the several States where 1t prevails, and with which neither the federal government nor the citizens or authorities of other States have any right to interfere, except to perform their constitutional obligations in reference to the rendition of fugitives, 1 have never deemed it my duty as citizen of a non- slaveholding State to discuss the spposed advantages or evils, with the view of sustaining or destroying the domcs- tic institutions of sister States, with which, un- der the constitution and laws of the land, have no right to interfere, and for the consequence of which am in no wise responsible. | You will, therefore, permit me to say, with all due respect, that neither my tastes nor my pnblc duties will permit me to accept your polite invitation.
 have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant, $. A. DOUGLAS

The Democratic Creed.

We find the following in an exchange. We do not know to whom we are to attribute its authorship. Its writer has succeeded in com pressing the principles of the democratic creed principles which we verify believe will be i'm mutable so long at least as the government shall last. If the doctrines taught by this creed be carried out to their fullest extent, there need be no fear of dissolution, or of wrong-our people will go on, as they have be- gun, increasing in power, wealth, respectabili- ty, intelligence and happiness and we shall continue to be as we now are, the pride and boast of republicanism the wide world over. The writer we'll says, these "are the doctrines of fourrevolutionary fathers" Would that pro- per reverence for the memory of those men may serve to imprint the more deeply and abidingly upon their children the lessons which they taught. Here is the creed:-Richnsond Enquirer. -.wol
 No. 1.-E4ual and exact justice to all men of whatever State or persuasion, religious or political.
 No. 2.-Peace, commerce and honest friend ship with all nations; entanging alliances with none.
 No. 3.-The right of States and Territories to administer their own domestic affairs.
 No. 4.-Freedom and equality, the sover- eighty of the people, and the right of the ma jorlty to rule when their will is constitutional y expressed
 No. 5.-Economy in the public cxpcndi- lures, and sacred preservation of public faith.
 No. 6.-Freedom of religion, freedom of the press, and general diffusion of information
 No. 7.-Oppostion to all secret political or ganizatlons, and to all corruptons i'll politics.
 No. 6.-A sacred preservation of the Feder- al Constitution, and no religious tests for office
 No. 9.-No bigotry or pride of caste, or dis tinction of birth among American citizens.
 No. 10.-Respect and protection for the rights of all.
 No. 11.-The preservation of the naturali- zation laws and the right of all citizens to the public domain and the protection of the Ameri- can Government.

Death in the Midst of Life.

This is the title of sermon delivered by Doctor Doane, Bishop of New Jersey, on the Sunday following the terrible catastrophe on the Camden and Amboy railroad. The open ing, which we quote, discloses some personal incidents of painful interest,"
 It is related ofthe distinguished Ropert Hall, that having written funeral sermon from the words: " In the midst of life we are in death," he searched the Bible long to find the place to announce them from, and wondered that he could not. They are in that which is only not the Bible, the book of common prayer, and if not scripture, were conceived and born of it, venture the opinion that they have been ut tered from more hearts within the fast four days than any other sentence in our language. And l have been so perfectly possessed with it my self, that it must be the theme, although it may not be the text, of what say to you this morning: In the midst of life we are in death." You all remember how beautiful a day was Wednesday, We may suppose such weather

The Rev. Dr. Hedge, of Providence, while preaching in one of the Boston pulpits a few Sundays since, alluded to the character of most of the so-called spiritual revelations" and remarked that, without arrogance he thought he could say, he felt himself more com potent to teach the spirits he had heard from, than they were to instruct him-that rom the words which were said to come from the emi- nent men who had lived in former times, It was quite evident in their cases 1t had not been gam

THE WAY JOHN CHINAMAN FIXES HIS DEBT ORA Chinaman in San Francisco was recent ly observed with one side of his face painted sky blue, presenting most ludicrous and gro- tesque appearance, in contrast with the dirty yellow on the other side. A gentleman pas sing stopped him, and asked the reason he painted himself so singularly. The Chinaman in broken English, told him it had been done by creditor whom he was unable to pay When asked why he did not wash 1t off, he re- piled so long no payee money, so long no washee off, and passed on, apparently resign trv had imposed upon him.

sTRNITy'' WAKING UP.--A veritable reyolu-
ton is going on in the affairs of Trinity Church,
q sort of revival, yet not in a Methodist sense.
Meetings of the vestry have recently been held,
especially with view to extend the field of
operations among the poorer classes in the lower
part of the city, and the programme agreed
upon, if faithfully carried out, can hardly fail
to eyentuate in much good. The enterprise is
one peculiarly beftting corporation that has
the means in abundance to carry out almost
every scheme of charity and benevolenee. These
means are now to be employed on the most
liberal scale. The clergy are to 60 among the
immigrants from abroad. as well as among the
poor at home-gising advice where advice is re-
quired, and in other respects supplying the
needs-temporal and spiritual-of the friendless
and destitute. Trinity Church, in Broadway
is thus to be made the center of great mis-
sionary work, which, with such bountiful and
devoted workers as Rev. Dr. Haight and his
assistants, cannot but lead to the most crafty
ing results. This, however, is but mere out
line of what is intended to be done. The seats
in the the church are practically all free, and
the daily service is said morning and evening
throughout the year. The choir, probably, is
the finest in this country. DIR. Hodges, the
organist, who was transferred to the new chapel
in 18th street, has returned to his old post, We
learn, together with some of his associates, who
had likewise made a similar exchange.
