Mr.. sAvAGE's SPEECH.

We have received, and read with a
good deal of interest, the speech Of
Hon. John II. Sauage, of this State.
delivered in the q. S. House of Rep.
resentatives, CD the Kansas question
Of it, the Washington correspondent
of the Baltimore Republican says
One of the topics of general re-
mark is the late speech of Col. John
Fl. Savage, of Tenn, upon the "slave-
ry question" and for sarcasm, argu-
ment and thrilling eloquence, it has
not been excelled during the session.
Such severity, | think, never heard
fall from mortal lips. The Black Re
publicans writhed under it--they
squirmed and wriggled in their seats;
and sat, whining and whimpering in
their seats, like kicked dogs, afraid to
open their foul mouths. What a
commentary upon the political char
acter of our villifers.
We shall take early occasion to lay
the speech before our readers.

CHI weep not for me, let thy tears fall no more,
For she who is gone time can meier restore;
That face in brightness once did rise,
Now shines beyond the blue skies.
She is gone! yes, gone in her beauty and bliss,
To shine in region where angels may kiss;
Her features and her form you once did prize,
But now she lives beyond the blue skies.
But the gem of our joy has gone like star,
To live in sweet Eden--land lovely and fair;
Then farewell, farewell, my angelic babe,
We soon will meet where our Saviour was laid.

ST.. Louis, August 2O.-The Leav-

The attack upon Franklin was the
signal for hostilities.
An express that left Lecompton,

surrounded by nearly 400 aboli-
tionists, who swore that no quarter
should be given them.
Gov. Shannon was appealed to to

they refused to act.
Col Titus, with 20 men, who star
ted to their assistance, was attacked
at his house, near Lecompton. A
number Of bis men were killed and
the remainder taken prisoners.

We suppose, Judging from enqui-

Corn will be made in Lincoln this
year. If the result sustains this sup
position, Pork must rate high this

ministry persisted in the dictum thai
''to occupy" means "to acquire" and
refers only to the future. Our gov.
eminent maintained that "to occupy
means "to keep possession off, as well
as s'to obtain possession off, and refers
to the present time, as well as-time
to come.
Common sense, undisturbed by in
terest or prejudice, would not hesitate
very long in making a decision as to
who is manifestly right and who man.
ifestly wrong in these premises. The
word occupy" has meaning in En-
glish so distinct and so definite that
one would suppose it impossible to
base On any phase of its application
a difference of opinion. And still, it
is just such a baseless difference that
nearly precipitated sixty millions of
people, speaking the same tongue, to
the verge of a sanguinary combat
Great Britain certainly played a
very adroit, though by no means a
very honest part in this controversy.
By the Clayton-Bulwer treaty she
agreed to occupy" no portion of
Central America. In her unwilling
ness to vacate Honduras and Musqm-
to, she now denies that she occupies"
territory which she possessed before
and yet retained, and pleads that "not
to occupy" signifies 'not to obtain
possession" of new territory within
the forbidden limits. And then she
coolly proposed to leave the definition
of simple word to be found in any
English dictionary, to the arbitration
of some European sovereign who only
comprehends German and French !!
and piously exclaims, if we do not
submit to such an absurd proposition,

could look more innocent, or audacity
more refreshingly modest withal. If

questionably occupy" it; if we prom
Use "not to occupy" it, we as certain
ly pledge ourselves to forsake it
There can be no other meaning fairly
attached to the word. 1t is too OBJ
vious thing for sensible dispute with
us who are familiar with the English
tongue; though it might easily afford
material for grave discussions OF the
part of umpires who could not read
Webster's spelling book without a
master, nor distinguish Shakspeare's
Hamlet from Watts Hymns without
