A,WoRD TO DEMocRATs.-The following
sdyice should not be passed by unheeded.-
We find it in the columns Of the Bay State
Democrat:
"Let no Democrat who is not prepared to
say good bye to the Democratic party and
Owe aid and comfort to its deadliest foes.
Dart company with Democrat Adminstra-
ton upon the question Of the immediate ad-
mission Of Kansas into the American Uuion.
The first easy step Of dissent from the will of
the majority, once taken, complete surren-
der of political integrity is more easy than a
return to Democratic principles. Stand firm!
Time and events Will just as surely sustain
and vindicate the wisdom Of the Presidents

The Washington correspondent of the N.

description Of the ssLittle Giant" when I'M
de. full headway: o. ...'.. ~.
"He is very short in stature, but Of such
physical proportions, aside from this lack,
As instantly to attract the attention of a
stranger. Avery large head, connected with
broad and powerfully built shoulders by a
short, full neck, chest sufficiently roomy to
contain the lungs Of a giant, and pair of
short, dumpy legs, complete the physical
picture of the Little Giant, If we except the
broad, lofty Websterian brow, and the deep
est, cavernous eyes, that sparkle and glow
when excited like miners lamps beneath it.
1t is the tremendous brain power, lodged in
that perpendicular precipice of forehead,
and shooting out its 6rcs from its Swallowed
eyes, that have given him the soubriquet
which he will carry to his grave. When ex-
cited and in fall flow of debate, that massive
head rolls and shakes with the emphasis of
his thought, and the huge hand doubles un.
til the nails indent the palm, or else the
broad, open hand receives tho blow of its
mate, and italicises the sentence with stun.
ming report. The sweat pours from him
profusely, and falls from his forehead, or
is thrown clear of his shoulders BY those In
iIuical shakes of The head, as the rain drops
are shaken from the trees by storm. Add
to this a thick, bushy head Of black hair
and aresslcss uneasy feeling, which prevents
his being at rest for five consecutive min
utes, and keeps him moving from one point
to another in the Senate Chamber, and my
picture Of the Little Giant il completed"

Judge D..s,s. u,.. x..... Affair.

The event of the week is the speech de-
livered in the Senate on Wednesday, by
Judge Douglas, Of which We give meager
abstract under our Congressional head. II
will, OF course, be reported at length, but
no report can give the impression Of its EN-
phasis and manner, of the audience, and of
the surrounding circumstances.
1t 10 not merely the separation from the
Southern cabal, who have 30 long controlled
this Government, of single man, however
able and influential, upon single issue,
however important and absorbing. It has q
much wider significance, MS realization Of
the moral effect of the attitude Of the free
States in 1856, which has taught politicians
that the interest of Slavery, although strong
is not growing stronger, and must soon
cease to be dominant.
Judge Douglas spoke about IN hour and
half. In point Of argument, his speech
was able, powerful and overwhelming.
He declared, ct the close, TINT he would
sever every personal or political relation,
rather than yield his position upon this.
great question.
When he sat down, there was an outhurst
OF applause in the galleries. Senator Ma.
son insisted that the galleries should be
cleared, but was restrained from pressing
the demand to vote, BY an emphatic and
somewhat significant cali for the yeas M
nays by Senator Pagh, Of Ohio.
:. Judge Douglas, Of course, assailed the
Kansas policy OF the Administration, from
the point Of view natural to bis position, q
violation OF the pledges Of the Kansas-

Uncle Sam--Johu Bul.-The Nlormons.

The London Times, speaking of the Nor
mons resistance to the United States, takes
occasion to hit Uncle Sam well-deseryed
rap on the knucklcs. Although the Times
arrives at correct conclusion, it argues
from false premises. Our military force is
at present sufficient to "put down with tol-
cradle Dispatch. the rebellion Of small
State" and the blame, if any, for the pres
ent deplorablc condition Of affairs in Utah,
attaches to those who have the directing Of
those forces. It cannot, in the least degree,
be attributed to the inadequateness of the
American army. Had the Administration
exhibited the same zeal in its efforts to SUBJ
due tho Mormon rebellion, that it did in
dragoonins the Free State settlers OF Kan
sas, the Mormon instruction would now be
numbered among the things that were. 1t
did not, and the consequences are but too
apparent. But to tho Times article. 1t
says:.-"The American public should really
begin to reflect on the position in which
their cheap standard Of government puts
them. Cheap governments good thing,
but even cheap government may be dear
in comparison with what il does for the
money. Cheapness and dearness are rela-
tive attributes; they have relation to the
quality Of the article We buy. If . govern
ment which represents 20, OOO, 900 of peo-
pie cannot put down the rebellion Of q small

women and children-does not amount to
much more than hundred thousand, with
tolcrable despatch, it does not fulfill the
object Of government, and it is high time
that it should be Strengthening its military
force. A State ought certainly to have
such an army, at any rate, as is wanted to
fuiAll the ordinary duty Of police; and the
advantage Of public economy, which the
American grasps 80 eagerly, is dearly pur-
chased by the national discredit which is

RufflinS their Temper.
The Richmond South, in the course Of o.

The Richmond South, in the course of an
editorial on the Kansas question, says:
eve repeat, the most vigorous is obvi-
ously the safest policy for Mr.. Buchanan.
If he exhibit the least indecision he will be
deserted by his northern adherents, and be
distrusted by his southern allies. If he wants
fast and fearless friends, he can only find
them in this part of the country. But he
cannot command their confidence except by
q thorough support of their interests. They
will accept Walkers head as q proper repa-
ration for their wrongs"
To which Forney Of the Philadelphia Press,
replies:
awe are patient people, over this way.
We have seen the South and its allies oppos-
ing Mr.. Buchanan's nomination and doubt
ing his devotion to them; We have stood
calmly by and witnessed their rule in Kansas,
trusting the while, like submissive and en-
during men, to the approaching recognition
Of the will of the majority; we have heard,
with unrufiled temper, the objurgations of
legislators and Of politicians in some Of the
slave states, against such Democrats as
Walker and Stanton, because they would
not become parties to forgery in Kansas !;
and now We are expected to bear the addi-
tional outrage upon Judge Douglas, and to
see Gov. Walkers head carried before the
conquering minority of the Lecompton Con-
vention as n trophy of triumph. There is o
point beyond which forbearance may cease
to be virtue. It has been reached, tgen-
tlemen of the SouthH"

committee Of southern fre-eaters, and is po-

lie is JEFF. Davis man--thAt crafty incendi-
airy who ruled Pierce, has got Buchanan in
his hands. There was Pennsylvania tool
of the Presidents in former days, here last
week, named Jack Henderson. He is a pro-
slavery editor at Lecompto and the mouth
piece Of the Convention. JEFF. took up this
Jack Henderson, and with BnchaDan's con-
niyance sent back to Lecompton with orders
to use the troops in carrying through the
Lecompton conspiracy. This is the story.
II it be true, there will be some fighting, and
it it be true, too, it ought to cost Davis his
head.
In the meantime, Douglas is fighting away
on his own hook, all parties doubtful. The
National Democrats maintain a digni6ed
neutrality, waiting to see what old Buck in
tends to give for their votes. That foxy old
gentleman, like prudent old fox as he is,
holds the grapes, just ripe and very tempt
ing, above their heads, saying all the time
with that benevolent smile Of his, shere they
are, gentleman, no wantce, no habbee'--
there stands the old fox with the grapes in
his hands, and the young foxes are eagerly
looking. Behind the young foxes are the
farmers, cudgels in band, ready for the
young ones the moment the grape clusters
pass into their maws, for the farmer knows
that any fox that will steal grapes will rob
q hen roost.
