DOUGLAS AND HIS SPEEcH.-The sptch of
Senator Douglas is still subject of seue-
sion among the qnia names. and mayfove
something more than nine days wader.
The breach between him and the admistra-
ton is rapidly widening, and we do nc see
how it is to be closed, unless, as we antipate
he will do, the President yields, and coledes
to the people of Kanzas their right 10 anne
and adopt their own organic lsws.
The Washington correspondent of theJew
York Ecening Post says
Douglass speech is bitterly denounced by
the fire eaters. They say that his desertin of
the party is because the President had SLATED
him and his friends, and because of thine
cessity of taking the ground he has to seure
his re- election as senator. The Republicans
applaud the speech. As far as it goes, 4 is
clear and unequivocal and Enthusiastically
the force and energy of leading STATESMAN.
But, while Douglass separation from he
Administration party is complete, he is @y
far from having Joined the Republics.
Except upon the Kanzas constitution, thy
are as wide apart as ever
Another correspondent of the same papt,
says: -
1.-The Star and Union are trying to whiph
deserters--and cndgel Douglas out of lie
party. Unfortunately for them, he has m,Ie
strength in his little finger than they al
possess.
The correspondent of the Philadelphia
Ledger, says
"Ihe speech OF Senator Douglas, today,
was the most able, and determined, ard en-
thusiastic that he has ever made Hiswhole
heart and strength appears to be in thecaute
which he has now espoused-that /, tae
right of the people to self-government.'
The following is from the correspondent of
the North american:
"The accounts sent out from this CIV. pf
the strength, by which, Judge Dougas Is
backed in the Senate, are erroneous. After
some inquiry, Messrs. Stuart of Micligsh.
and Broderick of California, are the only two
whom | can find distinctly committed. Mr..
Pughs name has been used, without airy al :
thority, in this connection, for ne has diaint-
ly expressed himself on the other side Ind 10
have Messrs. Thompson and Wright of N CIV
Jersey, Messrs. Bright and Fitch of Indiana,
and Mr.. Jones of Iowa, and so, probabl1 will
the new Senators from Minnesota"

Of $1,000 for the benefit Of his family, in the

he paid only half Of the yearly premium IN cash,
giving his notes for the balance, the amount Of
the notes and interest will Of course have to be
deducted from the sum insured Of leaving, as we

Those Of our fellow citizens who would not viii
lagls be accessory to open, gross, and palpable
fraud, arc invited, before giving their votes for
the misnamed "Citzens' Ticket" to examine
carefully its composition, and see whether it con-
forms to what it processes to be, or whether it is
not. rather, a graceless attemp, to swindle, and
to obtain votes under false pretences.
The fundamental principle of our government
is, that the majority ahal rule, and the special
object Of Citizens Ticket is to distribute the
Offices more Justly and equitaby among the sew.
eral parties than it could be done when left to
the chances of partizan contest, keeping in
view always the relative proportions Of each.
How does this pseudo "CitiEens Ticket" stand
the test when subjected to an examination on
these principles. The Republican party IS largely
in the aseendency in this city. At the recent
election. its candidate, Mr.. Banks, received 1853
votes against 1879 for all uther candidates, being
majority ovsr ak, of All votes, and more than
tpo to one over any other candidate. His oaaiority
was equal to about one-th;rd OF all the other
votes given, and his vote was about four seventies
Of the whole vote given. This large majority in
the Republican vote would justly entise them to
cores ending representation T" Citizens
ticket Il would entitle them to the control of
the government or, if for any cause the Mayoralty
was given to another party, that concession
should be adjusted by largely increased prepon-
derance in the other departments. But, how
stands the fact The candidate for Mayor is
against Them. OF the eight candidates for the
Board Of Aldermen, only one, as are credibly
informed, voted for Nathaniel P. Banks; the ma
jority OF the nominees for Common Council are
an.i-Bank mem and so it goes through the
whole ticket
Now, we would candidly ask, is there Repub-
lican in Worcester so lost to self-respect, as to
sanction and endorse such an insult upon himself
and his parry as is offered in such a ticket Is
there one, we would further ask, who would,
willingly and knowingly participate in such
a fraud, as is attempted upon the voters in
the presenting to them of such a ticket, under
Che false and spurious cognomen, as applied to it,
ora "Citizens Ticket" If such there be, they
deserve to affiliate with that spurious Democracy,
which employs the army of the nation to wrest
from the people of Ksnzas the dearest rights of Re-
publican acknowledgment and the right
of sutfIage to impose upon them an arbitra.

uon OF the late constitutional convention which

view OF the fact that it is not submitted to the

IMPORTANT DECISION CONCERNING Dis
COUNTED DRAFTS PAYABLE ELsEwHERE. The
Baffalo Express, of the 8th inst, states that in
number of cases lately tried in the Supreme
Court, in that city, the question was raised
whether payable below, as it is called-that
is. in New York, and discounted here-is
usurous or not; that the Court held in the
affirmative, and SO instructed the jury, who
rendered verdict accordingly. In other
words, it was held that the loan Of money to
be repaid at place other than the place of the
loan, where the parties resided, and did BUSH
ness, the money being worth more at the
place of payment than at the place of loan,
was usurious and void. The principle on
which the decision turned is not established
in this State, and, we presume, that the case
will not sette.any principle until passed upon
