presiding her death she retired in usual health;
and in the morning was found lifeless on the
floor near her bed; but doubtless her faith,sso
strong in life, was stronger in death; and al
though, in her final conflict no earthly friend
stood near, to utter cheering words aad smooth
her dying pillow; yet surely Christ was with
her as she passed through the dark Valley
and if her notes of victory in death through
our Lord Jesus Christi were unheard by earthly
friends, they were heard byfrisnds in Heaven;
when her 'ransolned spirit dropped from angels
wings before the throne of God, took up her
golden harp and sung the first strain of that inn

A Feet Worthy OF Note

Not Senator, not q press, and not
even the President himself attempts to
defend the action of the Lecompton Con-
vention upon the ground that i: is right.
Expediency, alone, stands out in the fore
ground as the excuse for endorsing the
cheat. Let US get rid of the Kansas ex-
citement, the most convenient way posi-
ble. Well, gentlemen, you viii find that
admitting Kansas with the Lecompton
Constitution, unapproved by the people
there, will not dispose of Kansas, but it
will dispose Of every Northern man, we
care not whether he be President, Senator,
or what who aids in thrusting that wrong
upon the people Of Kansas, will find him.
self buried SO deep that the trump of no
political Gabriel can arouse him There
is no justice in the thing-there is an ut
ter abandonment of principle, in It's en-
dorsement, and the idea of its expediency
is humbug. tits one of the most i'm
practicable and absurd acts that any par
ty or set Of men ever engaged in. In our
jud cement the scheme does not possess
one redeeming quality. The President
does not epenly endorse it, Or the con-
Ttrary he admits that precisely the opposite
course would have been right, founder as
it is, on correct principles" These are
his very words. BeAaire Era. ~

Immense loss of Corn.

H r.
1t ia q very Moderate estimate to say
that one-half Of the corn, raised in this
county, tine currentyear, has either mould
ed orrotted, and how mach more is to be
lost in the same way cannot yet be known.
That which week or two age, seemed
sound and good appears to be going in
the same way. II, some neighborhoods it
is feared that good corn, enough for seed
can hardly be saved. .ait se5 80 a4st ieE9
This moulded corn is not an entire loss
to those who have hogs and cattle to feed
it to Immediately: Hogs will not fat.en
we'll upenit, but it serves for stock hogs
Cattlewill eat the best of it. very readily,
bat it requires much more Of it to keep
them than of sound corn. 80 - :

him its friends looked for adefender, and
be has more than met their expectations
We copy below telegraphic reported
his reply to Fitch of Indiana. 1t is
short but it shows his manner of dealing
with his assailants: szs
Mr.. Douglas.in reply said, according
to his own showing, Mr. Fitch, differed
from the President on one point, and yet
the Senator from Indiana had charged
hin, with faction. If differing from the
President was faction, that Senator had
double the amount of faction with him
self. He Douglas) had not become the
mere scrvile tool of any President SO as
to feel himself bound to take every recon
mendation without examining whether 1t
met with his appreciation or not. With
regard to harmony in the Democratic par
ty, he had only to say; if the Democratic
Senators and President would stand by
the Cincinnati Platform, there would be
harmony between them all aud himself
He said: "Call it faction-call it what
you please; intend to stand by the Ne
breska Bil-to stand by the Cincinnati
iPlatform-to stand by the organization
and principles of the Democratic party,
and 1 defy opposition. from whatever
quarter it may comel" He predicted
that, before the lapse of sixty days, he
would be in harmony with those that
were most relied upon now to crush him
and the principles of the Nebraska Bill in
the admission of the Lecompton Constitu-
Htion. He looked upon that convention
as trick and fraud upon the rights of
the people; and, with or without slavery.
he was opposed 10 the whole concern
He did not know the object of all these
attacks upon him. Perhaps his opponents
thought that they could weary him out;
but he would tell them that, if he found his
strength failing, he would go off and re-
cruit his energies, and come back and
take raking fire a: the whole of them. =
