the President, who says that Walker is a fugitive
from justice, and escaped from jail aud now they
were asked to bow to tho magnanimity of the
criminal who yielded to the officer. Laughter |
Great magnanimity, indeed, when man can't help
himself Laughter.l That was done under the
police arrangements every day. If they had to
bow TO every such man ss hero, they would soon
exhaust their power Of admiration. Laughter |
If Com Paulding had hung him (Walker) at the
yard arm, he (Lovcoy) would have honored him
for it. This is the treatment which such pirates
ought to have held out to them. He entered his
protest against clothing q man with heroism and
making him martyr, whom he is simply rascal.

There has not been much done as yet, but
think next week will open richer The Democrats
are having caucus nearly every night and un-

OTThe Charleston Mercury, speaking of the

position OF Douglas, says
"It is sheer audacty--reckless, unprincipled,
selfseeking dare -deviltry on the part of Doug
las. The case needs no more than plain ex-
hibiton of facts, such as We have given. We
forbear argument But the course of Douglas
deserves the brand of reprobaton from the South;
and scathing contumelous invective is the
proper logic for the occasion. Who, then, of
Southern Senators will take upon himself this
task of benefit to the great cause of the South ?
Which of them will undertake to fay this re-
donbtsblo giant and make spectacle of him
for the good OF after times? Who will satisfy
the demands for retributive justice against this
bare faced renegade from political principle p
'ris a task that would be grateful to the people
of the South"

EDfroR JoURNAL: In your last weeks Jour
nal you say that the office OF the Democrat has
been removed to Big Bone Lick" Will you
please inform me how or why that name is ap.

Yours, &c, TyRo.
The name, we understand, was applied long
before we came to Perysburg, and hence we
can answer only upon information received from
others.
In Kentucky, it is said, there is a small valley
watered by salt spring. This valley, IL is sup
posed, was the unchanging abode Of some very
large animals. When the smaller animals came
to slaks their thirst at the briny rivulet. they
were seized upon, killed aud devoured by the
large ones lying in wait for them. AS time
moved on the destroyers would die, and thus
the bones Of the victims and their slayers were
mingled confusedly together From the huge
size of some Of these, the name of Big Bone
Lick' was applied TO the valley.
The place, where now is published the Demo
erdt, has long been considered the Democratic
Head Quarters Of Wood county. II was here,
to the abode of the great politicians the lead
ers, that the rank and file of the party would
come, seeking for lick at the treasury SALT
And here, hosts of them were made to give up
the political ghost. In the process of time the
great leaders also suffered political death, and
there can now be found tho mammoth bones of
the woud-be congressman, mingled with small
or ones, down to the tiny ossfcations of the
n,ousing politician.

Mr.. Pughs scheme hardly oxcites serious COM
ment, so utterly has it failed to conciliate one in

yesterday gentleman asked Douglas what he
thought of tho compromise. "Oh very good
compromise replied the adroit tNctician with u
dash, may be, of irony "With whom ?" called
out third person, with himself" was the sharp
aud prompt retort of Douglas, which brought
down the house. The point of this little episode
doubtless tells the whole story and explains the
last project or paciiication.

A LESSON FOR Pho NINo BY MISS DIX.


In Greece our traveller met an American lady

Rome. She told the Doctor Il visited the luna
tic asylum, and my heart revolted at the sight. |
did not see sick persons whom man sh Juld pity,
unfortunates whom we should endesvor to cure
they were brutos in chains, the dens Of which
tnever to have been cleaned. Seven
days after my visit to the lunatic asylum, | was
presented to His Holiness the Pope, who knew.
the object of my travels. The Pope asked me in
the most friendly manner, whether | had yet visit.
ed the asylum at Rome l had the courage to
answer yes, and | am convinced that your IIuli.
ness has not yet paid it q visit. Pic Nino quickly
raised his head, and only asked with an express
sive, attentive look. ! understood him, and relat.
ed to him in a voice full Of emotion, all the hor.
ror and barbarism | had witnessed. / v~cntured,
trembling within myself, upon the bold express
sion of the unchrietian treatment Of the unhappy
beings. The respect commanding man Of Chris.
tendon listened with earnest attention, and said
briefly, after | had concluded. Come again in a
weeks timo," and then l left his presence. My

and the stranger, had perhaps risked too much.
Although was conscious in my innermost heart
Of my good intentions. | yet passed a ~sleepless
night, and a day of the deepest inward agitation
1t created a deep sensation whom the holy father
two days after | had been presented to him, sud
denly, while taking one Of his drives, stopped
before the gate of the asylum, and spent an hour
in it. The week had passed, aud | stood as | had
beeen commanded, in the Vatican before the Pope
