Tbs Cosr OF THE War IN BLoop AND
TREASURE the commencement Of the
Eastern war England has lost 1854 gallant
men by death in action, wounds, and disease.
and s,8-5 have besides been discharged from
the service on account Of the two latter caus-
es. OF the gallant soldiers sent out 1898
fell bravely in action, about |, 62l sunk under
their wounds, 4.a79 died of cholera. and
IL, 45l Of other diseases. England has lost
in all 22,457. The losses Of the French, so
far as they have been ascertained, amount to
60, 900. Count 0rlof has admitted in Pa
ris that the Russian loss has not been less
than 100000. The loss sustained by the
Sardinians has not been, and the loss sustain
ed BY the Turks never will be ascertained.
The London Times says:
"All things considered, we doubt whether
the cost Of the war, from first TO last. will be
much under Rl00, 000, 000-an immense sum,
but evidently not an intolerable one when il
is considered that it falls very much under the
expenditure Of this country in one closing
year Of the last great war;"
II appears that the expenses Of the war "a
France amount to upwards Of twelve hundred
millions Of francs. (s240, Oo0, 00O.)

favor Of such restoration. But | said there
were difficulties which surrounded the ques-
ton. What difficulties? First, that in the
present state Of parties it was impossible to-
ferislate upon the question; and, secondly,
there were constitutional difficulties a grave
question regarding the power Of Congress to
divide the people Of this country by geo
graphical lines--questions affecting State
sovereignty, State equality, and other EN-
barrassing difficulties, which do not propose
to discuse at this time.
There isno Inconsistency here---none what
ever.
He must have optics keen, ween,
Who sees what is not TO be seen."
Why was opposed to the territorial leg
slation Of the last Congressf My answer
is found in the published declarations al De-
mocratc Senators who voted fur its passage.
What are they?
Judge Douglas, in speech at Springfield,
in l849, is reported to have used the follow.
ing language:
.All the evidences Of public opinion at that day
seemed to indicate that the compromise had become
canonzed in the hearts Of the American people as
sacred thing which no ruthless hand would ever be
reckless enough to disturb"
On the esd Of December, 1851, he made II
matter Of self-congratu'ation that all his
pubic acts on the subject o, slavery were in
perfect harmony with the compromise 81
1890. On the 4th Of January, 1854, in his
report from the Committee on Territories, he
expressed his unwillingness to depart from
the compromise of 1850, by recommending the
repeal Of that Of 1920. Senator Atchison, as
late as Sd March, 1853, expressed his con-
viction that the Missouri compromise could
not be repealed, and his willingness to sub
init to its
General Cass. on the goth Of February,
1854, expressed his regret that the repeal
question had been introduced
The Washington Union, as late as Goth
January. 1854, deprecated the measure,
spoke of the compromise Of 1920 as $50.
Tenn covenant, and Of the attempt to repeal
it as an Interpolation upon that Of $780,
They doubted the cxpediency Of the measure.
So did 1. They believed the practical adj.
vantages resulting therelrom would not out.
weigh the injury which whoald accrue. Sc
did l; and l should have acted according ia
my convictions. whatever may have been my
views regarding the propriety or improperly
Of its original enactment. II was solemn
covenant" compact Of peace made by pa.
triots to supply easis omissus Of the Cons
stitution, and to save the Union. The act o.
1920 belonged to other men and other times
| would have refused to condemn their &C.

obligation to regard the compromise Of 1885,
as finality, and to oppose any and all eff
forts to renew the agitation Of the slavery
question.

to represent this county in the Commons Of
the ensuing Legislature, came to hand yes
terlay.
II has been somewhat difficult for me TO

position the convention has assigned me. i
regret that one was not selected whose qua
li6cations would enable them to represent
the county far more aceeptably than could
possibly hope for. But coming, as the soli-
citation does, from so large and respectable
portion Of my fellow citizens, do not
think have right to decline, therefore
accept the nomination.
shall enter the field with the determine
tion to use every means within my power,
that is consistent with honor. to promote the
cause. ! am, very respectfully,
