past winter, for the poor and suffering ones

While many are surrounded with al the COM
forts Of life, they can scarcely conceived how 9th
ers should be SO destitute. When an appeal is
made to them for aid, they givo Of their abun-
dance, and in their own comfortable rooms,
hope that none may suffer from want. Should
they go only a few steps perhaps, from their
own homes, they might find their hopes were
vain. Families have been visited during the
last winter in this city, where scarcelythe least
ivestige of comfort could be found. The build
ings they occupied s(even in. the severest cold
weather) would not be thought by New York
farmer fit place for his horses. Their beds,
consisting Of straw, and rags. and afew.cooking
utensils, with bench will comprise their furni-
ture. A, little coarse food, and few articles Of
clothing, finish what they possess.
All this would be met by them, somewhat
bravely-but sickness has entered. and either
the father, or mother, and sometimes both, are
quite too i'll to do anything. to surround them
selves with comforts They have no money,
and are strangers in a strange land, and when
their last few sticks Of wood are burning, they
feel like settling down in mute, despair, as they
try in vain, to receive some heat, to their fam
ished and chilled bodies. It's not then, for any
to stop and ask, how came you in this condition.
When we see real suffering, tits enough TO know
it is there, to lead to action The gratifed look
and the improvement in their condition, shows
the good results Of the efforts put forth for it
is by having their physical wants supplied, that
their better feelings are drawn out. iais

think but what much is to be done. .esFor ye

The Richmond Enquirer, in a prominent edi-

morbidly acute. He is swollen with plethora
of patriotism, and is always foaming with chro-

vexed because nobody would affront him, the old
Statesman is perpetually crying out that the
country is shamcfully wronged, j and must fight
to vindicate its honor. Yesterday 1t was France,
then Austria, and now It is Great Britain who

stephen A. Douglas.
The Louisville Journal, in an article discussing
the capabilities, character and position of the
different candidates for the Presidency, thus
speaks Of Mr.. Douglas:
Then, there is Stephen A. Douglas. He is a
man of considerable vigor of intellect, but with
out honor, honesty, truth or dignity. He is low
flung. He is o grounding. He is rowdy. He
is of the class Of bar-room politicians. He is at
home with the low and vulgar. He is uneasy in
the company Of gentlemen. He electioneers for
the Presidency by means that would render a
county candidate forthe Legislature Of Kentucky
punishable by law. As for principle, he has no
idea of it. He is at the present time the peculiar
candidate ofthe fllibusters, the aggressives, the
manifest destiny men; and if he were President,
he woud not hesitate to issue his proclamation to-
morrow, authorizing the seizure of Cuba. all
south America, and the whole of Mexico so he
could hope thereby to win applause for his bold
ness andaudacity, AS President, lie would be
ever aiming at something to make mankind stare.
He would try to offset the diminutiveness of his
person by the tremendousness of his deeds.
