W We regret TO learn that Mr.. With
roe, of Greensbur, formerly staunch
Republican has joined the Democratic
party. He was an efficient and active
man, and his detection will be seriously
felt. He disapproves of the notional
policy of the Democratic party, but
being jailor of Decatur county, he oppos-
es the Republicans because they oppose
his business. He says that about four
fifth of his boarders are Democrats, and
nearly all of thom come 10 him, not
through love of him or his boarding
house, but through the love Of liquor, and,
but for the Democrats. his business would
have been entirely dried Up before this.

We make no apology for devoting so
much space TO this speech, TO the exclu-
sion Of our usual variety. 1t Is one Of the
most important documents OF the day.
The revelations II makes are important.
II appears from Bigler's confession. that Il
was the intention Of the friends Of the
Toombs enabling act. not TO allow the
people OF Kansas 10 vote on the onstitu-
ton, and Little Dug squirms under this
revelation, and the fact th at at the same
time he prepared the enabling act for
Minnesota expressly providing for the
subm ission Of that Constitution TO the
people.
No wonder that Republicans enjoy these
revelations. The condition Of things In
Kansas is precisely as they said it would
be--as every sensible man, not blinded by
party, knew II would be, from the course
pursued by the administration party.
The Kansas act was an experiment. de-
parture from the long established and
hitherto successful method of organizing
territories. The Republicans remonstrat-
cd against il, while the Democrats faith
cred il. The Republicans have proved
themselves the true friends Of popular
sovereignty, while they condemn the,bo-
gus article, which, under pretext Of popu-
lar rights, has filled that territory with
strife and drenched its plains with blood;
aud is likely TO produce still greater and
more mischievous results. We hope al
indignant and awakened people WIN re
prove the panderers to slavery as the,
deserve. But read the speech.

When Mason's row about the tumult in
the galleries had subsidized, and there had
been some talk about printing the mes
sage, poor Bigler thus opened up:

sitlon 70 print the message and documents;
nor do intend to-day to attempt to adj
dress the Senate at length on the grave and

duty. Never since have been connected

greet the suggestion | made yesterday
evening, that 1 concurred with the Presi-

had taken, and should endeavor to defend
those views, for | now feel how much |
am unprepared. But while | shall not
make speech to-day, | desire yer,
briefly to notice some Of tho propositions
OF my friends IRON Illinois, which have
fallen on my ears as most extraordinary.

And at length there came night when
the wind was abroad on the desert, and
the voice of the tempest was fierce and
terrible. But high over all the sand-hills.
and over the whirling storms of sand, Sc
date, calm, majestic. the immutable stars
were looking down on the plain, and the old
man on his tower beheld them, and went
forth on the wind to search their infinite
distances.
That night, saith the tradition, another
star flashed out of heaven beside the star
that the Arabs worshiped, and the Sheik
Houssein was young again in the heaven of
his beloved.

Young Genius.

Mr.. Disraeli has. in his Coningsby. this
striking page:
Genius. when young, is divine. Why,
the greatest captains of ancient and modern
times both conquered Italy at twenty-five !
Youth, extreme youth, overthrew the Per-
sian empire. Don John of Austria won
Lepanto at twenty-fve-the greatest battle
of modern times; had it not been for the
jealousy of Philip, the next year he would
have been Emperor of Mauritania. Gas
ton de Folk was only twenty-five when he
stood victor on the plain of Ravenna. Ev-
cry one remembers Conde and Roeroy at
the same age. Gustsvus Adolphus died at
thirty-eight, Look at his captains-that
wonderful Duke of Weimar, only thirty
six when he died. Baner himself, after all
his miracles, died at forty-fve. Cortes
was little more than thirty when he gazed
upon the golden cupolas of Mexico. When
Maurice of Saxony died at thirty-two, all
Europe acknowledged the loss of the great
est captain and the profoundest statesman
of the age. Then there is Nelson, Give;
but these are warriors, and perhaps you
may think there are greater things than war.
l do not. ! worship the Lord of Hosts
But take the most illustrious achievements
of civil prudence. Innocent III, the great
est of the popes, was the despot of Chris
tendon at thirty-seVen. John de Medici
was cardinal at fifteen, and, Guicciardini
tells us, bafhed with his craft Ferdinand of
Aragon himself. He was pope as Leo x.
at thirty-seven: Luther robbed even him
of his richest province at thirty-fve. Take
Ignatius Loyola and John Wesley-they
worked with young brains. Ignatius was
only thirty when he made his pilgrimage
and wrote the Spiritual Exercises. Pascal
wrote great work at sixteen 1.-THE greatest
of Frenchmen,) and died at thirty-seven.
All, that fatal thirty seven! which reminds
me of Byron-greater even as man than
a writer. Was it experience that guided
the pencil of Raphael when he painted the
palaces of Rome? He died at thirty seven.
Richelieu was secretary of state at thirty
one. Well, then, there are Bolingbroke
and Pitt, both ministers before other men
leave off cricket. Grotius was in practice
at seventeen, and attorney general at twen-
ty-four. And Acquaviva-Acquaviva was
general of the Jesuits. ruled every cabinet
in Europe, and colonized America, before
he was thirty seven. What careeri the
secret sway of Europe! That was indeed
positionI But it is needless to multiply in
stances. The history of heroes is the his
tory of youth

Russian Serfs.

It is singular to see the force of habit in
these Russian serfs. Accustomed to be i'll
treated, they often accuse themselves for
desire of resisting it; they submit to pun
ishment as if it were necessity; they prac-
tically kiss the rod; the sWellings of indig-
nation are brief, and soon melt down be-
meath the sigh of resignation and accept
ance of their fate. a German governess
told us she lived in the family of General,
whose servant asked his permission to mar
ry his lady's maid. On consulting his wife
the General found she highly resented such
a proposition; and though the young woman
wished to accept the lover, the mistress
would not consent to the marriage of her
maid, and was indignant at her husbands
mildness on the occasion. The General
accordingly summoned the man, and told
him if he did not at once and forever re-
nounce his matrimonial hopes, he should
order the soldiers to fog him. Enraged by
the disappointment, the only mode of re-
venge which presented itself to the poor
lover was to take an old and very faEorite
watch which had been given to the General
by some renowned parsonage, and run
away. For sometime he was unheard of.
One evening, at dusk, when the governess
was going out, she spled the runaway drawn
into corner at the foot of the staircase
She feared he had come to execute some
worse deed, and coming near him, she urged
him to desist from such an attempt and fly
away; promising TO be secret; but he re-
piled, '1 have done wrong. I am guilty.
The General had right to punish me-
For why should / think of marrying the
baba if her ladyship did not wish it? I
took his watch to vex him; that was wick
led. See, have brought it back. I am
going to give myself up. shall stay here
till see him." He did give himself up
to his master; but the governess never found
out what the result vas. If it had been IA
yorable, might she not have heard it? That

who lived under q cruel mistress. She fled
from her, and young nobleman took her

She lived at ease, had fire dresses and lux
