Judge Collamer's speech, which occupied
two days, was a complete refutation Of the
fallacies employed by Mr.. Douglas in his mi
nority report, to justify the principles of the
Nebraska bill and policy Of the administration
in reference to the people of Kansas. Those
fallacies are in many cases patent to the dullesi
comprehension, nevertheless one could not help
wondering at the number AVID size of the rents
which the "envious Casca" made in The report
embodying them. And the whole thing was
done with such excellent good humor, and the

LET ME SLIDE DocToR.-A friend Of ours,
who is firm believer 10 the utility Of good
eating and drinking, was attacked, few weeks
since, with typhoid fever. the symptoms Of
which assumed 50 dangerous form that two
attending physicians deemed itexpedien, TO call

his patient, proceeded to question him as fol-

"fair drinker'' and good feeder all my life.'
The doctor gazed al his patient, felt of his
pulse. then shook his head. On seeing this,
the sick man looked the physician earnestly in
the eye, and said, Doctor, what kind Of a
chance is there of my recovering = After
hesiiating a moment, the doctor said, We'll

and replied, Doctor, if you can't get me well
enough to allow Of my eating a good dinner
and take my regular ''iods,'' lei me slide nolr ?
Our friend, however, did recover, and as his
health improved, so did his appetite. every
morning he urged his physician 10 allow him
something in the way Of substantial nourish
ment. After about Two weeks The physician
told him he might have bird The sick
man was delighted. and Immediately sent for
an old friend and associate TO come and see
him; who, upon entering the sick room OF his
friend, was accosted thus sam, my doctor

wrong, and the execution Of il, in spirit at least,
indispensable to the repose Of the country" and
that the admission Into the National Council and

Democrat, explains The recent obscure dispatch
from Weslpur:-Col. Sumner encamped oppo-
site Lawrence, 25ih with 1870 dragons. He
addressed letter on the 9Th 10 Gov. Robinson,
stating that the attack on sheriff Jones had
produced great excilemen, througho the terri
tory and the Missouri frontier, and urging on
the people of Kanzas the importance Of ferret
ing out and bringing the assailanls TO Justice
lie says also that the oaense has been reported
at Washington. and whatever orders are re-
ceSed thence will be carried out. Gov. Rob.
lnson replied that the attempted assassination
OF Jones was unanimously condemned by The
citizens Of Lawrence. II the guilty one was
found, he would be given up II had been the
policy Of the people Of Lawrence to yield
prompt obedience 10 the laws and officers Of
the general government. As Jones was acting
under authority Of the government on the day
of the assault, the one who perpetraIed the
deed was an enemy to the citizens Of Lawrence
no less Than TO the violated laws.-Whiifeld
returned 10 Lawrence on the a7th, Mr., Oliver
acted as his attorney before the commission
during his absence.
