= Mr.. DOUGLAS IN RICHMOND.

Senator Douglas spoke in Richmond, Va, on
Tuesday night Of last week. We copy the follow
ing from the Enquirer:
SENATOR DOUGLAS SPEECH: We wish that every
Virginian could have heard the powerful speech OF
Stephen A. Douglas, the able Senator from Illin,s,
delivered before an immense crowd i'm the African
on Tuesday night. His argument was massive and
OF granite-iike sodty. 1t appealed to the patriot
lsn coInmon-sense and honesty of every of Vir-
ginia. 1t showed up Know Nothingsm at the North
and " est in its real hideous coofS. The testimo-
ny OF Senator Douglas cannot be impugncd by the
Wings and Observation-Disclosures their presses have
fully endorsed his galantry and noble devotion to
the constitutional rights of the South. And what
was the testimony? 1t was delivered in clear and
simple and manly language-and it was, that i'm the
North and West, the National Democracy, fighting
for the execution of the Fugitive slave law under the
express acquisitions of the Constitution and for the
principles of the Nebraska bill, had been overwhel
med by the " fusion" party, made up of Know
Nothings, Abolitionists and other advocates of the
m0nstrous isIns of the day. Senator Douglas show
ed concusvely that the Know Nothings of the North
and West were under the control of the Abolition
lists, and his startling facts aud conclusive arguments
must sink deep into the hearts of every patriot who
listened to him.
Senator Douglas peculiarly eloquent when i'm
ridculing the dangers of foreign influence " he
referred to two examples in his own State The first
was General Shields, who had spilled such stream
OF blood nearest his heart in defence of the honor
of the country-and yet shamel. ssly ostracised
by the Know Nothings The second instance was
that OF old John Moore, who was English born. but
had lived fifty years in this countrywide had been
elected State Treasurer of Illinois, and w-o, in his
official capacity, had refused to allow the State Capt.
toll to be detiled by the speeches of Abolition dis
unionists, as Giddrngs, and Cassus NJ Clay, but
would always throw open the doors to national
wings and Democrats, who spoke and acted for the
maintenance Of the sacred guarantees of the Consti
tntlon Senator Douglas beautiful and truly elo-
quent pictures of these two noble men, drew down
thunders of applause.
But will not do injustice to Senator Douglas
mastery speech, by attempt to give the merest
skeleton outline of its powerful appeals the good
sense patriotism, and consistent devotion to prnci-
pies, OF the people of Virginia. The large crowd
were delighted-and this speech of Senator Douglas
Will prove one Of the green spots in the memory of
his auditors.
At the close of the speech John S. Caskie and
Chastaln White, E, q, were called out-btt declined
speaking. They both rendered tribute to
the manly and powerful speech of the Senator from
Illinois,"

CUBA.

Spanish insolence and tyranny is fast fastening
the end of Spanish rule in Cuba. Recent occur
r+nces plainly indicate that rupture between our
government and Spain is imminent, fnot inevitable.
We snail publish in next the resolutions Of a
meeting recently held at Tammany Hall, in
relation to Spanish outrages. Those resolutions
speak out in high and manly tone, and will
find an echo in the national heart We have
submitted to enough-to more than could
honorably have done from any but nation 50
weak that of Spain. We are for Cu6a, for
her people, and against her tyrants We are for
vindicatng national honor, regardless Of what
France and England may think, say do

Valient warriors and faithful defenders of the
church and throne of your country: 1t has pleased
Almighty God to visit US with a most painful and
grievous loss. We have all lost common father
and benefactor, whose unwearied was Russia's
prosperity and glory
Russian Arms, the Emperor Nicholas Paslovitch
my most blessed Father, has departed to eternal life
his last words were, Z" thank the Loyal Guard of
Russia and also thank the brave army and fleet,
and pray God to maintain the courage and spirits by
which they have died and distinguished themselves
under me. So long this spirit remains upheld,
Russias tranquility is secured both within and with
ont and woe to her enemies l loved my troops as
my own children, and strove much as could to
improve their condition, and though not entirely
successful in that respect, it for want of WILL
but because was unable to devise any thing better
do more"
May these ever memorable words remain preserved
in your hearts proofs Of his sincere love for you
which share to the largest extent and let them be
pledged in your devotion for and for Russia.
(SignedO ALEXANDER.

STILL LATER.

The steamer Isabel, from Havana, arrived at
Charleston on Wednesday last, with news to the
25th March. Much excitement prevailed. and so
great was the Indignation Of the populace at the
death of Pinto that the Captain General had not
appeared in public since that event. Our Consul
protested against Felix and Estrampes being brought
to trial, and insisted upon their liberation. The
following from the Charleston Courier will show
with what result:
HAvkSA, March 25.-Felix Estrampes, and Capt.
McCu:loch, had yesterday, what the Spaniards call
a fair public trial before the Permanent Military Com
mission, but which most assuredy is not in accord
ancc with the treaty between Spain and the United

HENRY A. WISE.

I We consider the election of this gentleman as
Governor Of Virginia placed beyond a reasonable
doubt. The nomination of Fiournoy, consis-
tent and bitter Wing, the candidate Of the
Know Nothirgs, has opened the eyes of honest
Democrats who have been seduced INTO the dark
lantern order, and they leaving it in droves
exposing its iniquities and raIIyng with redoubIed
zeal to the support OF Henry A. Wise. Our Vir-
ginia exchanges TEEN with proceedings Of Demo-
cratic meetings. in which Know Nothnysm is de-
nounced and resolutions adopted to organize and
put forth their whole strength for the Democrat
c cause. The Old Dominion is fully aroused and
when this is the case her Democracy are invinci
ble.

~ Whatever may be the imperfections

@- Whatever may be the imperfeetions Of
Mr.. Flournoy, the X. n. Wing candidate for
Governor in Virginia, all parties must concede him
a certain quantity Of that better part Of vaor,"
discretion, in refusing to meet Mr.. Wise upon the
stump. The terrors Of being skinned alive would
beget about this much discretion in any one, and
Mr.. Flournoy's prudence on this occasion may very
properly be termed a "rascally virtue" Even the
dark lantern seeks double obscurity when the
name of Wise is pronounced.
