the evolution Of gas from leaves immersed in water
In the next place Pestly discovered that that gas
oxygen Then Ingenhouse showed by experiment that
solar light necessary for its dsengagement and
finally the range OF discovery completed by Leuwes
tein that the oxygen gas is derived from orbonc acid
Such is the history OF most great discoveries and taking
proper view of the subject ii should dispose set
due value upon the labor of predecessors as well
as upon our cotemporaries
The same chain of discoveries have led to the connex

who laid the foundation of this great achievement Both
Morse and Field were sleeping snugy in their beds

1t is evident that the programme for the presidential
election in 1860 is being rapidly filled up at the North
by the combination of all the odds and ends of parties
who be induced to unite upon the spos principle in
consolidated opposition to the democratic party Last
week public meeting took place at Kingston New
York. In which three men, connected heretofore with
many different organizations appeared on the plat
FORM to make against the national de-
mocracy These three men Horace Greeley, of the
black republicans, Joel T. Headley, of the Americans,
and T. II. Wesbrook anti Lccompton democrat, ty-
plying the three great headed monster with whom
hereafter to contend At the South great effort will
be made to draw the Americans into this combination
The Richmond Wing and Memphis Elgle & Enquirer have
already declared their readiness to operate in the
ment We have no doubt the leading papers Of the par
ty in Georga-the Chronicle s. SaantI, the Columbus En-
qrer the Savannah Republican, and the Journal & ssa,-
ger will soon follow the track. Upon all demo-
cratic this coalition will declare their opposition
without reference to justice and right. Their rallgng
cry will be 'Down with the democracy We have no
idea that this coalition will he able to obtain the support
of the honest masses at the North South No coalition
for mere plumber ever did or will succeed.
If the anti Lecompton democracy in the North and
West desert their ancient friends and unite with the
organization it will present most formidable front in
the coming Presidential contest We are as yet ignorant
OF the course portion OF the western democracy intend
to pursue. To Judge from some indications they de-

his sophistres and in rcbuke Of his course, we have
dealt with the conduct and not with the man. He
has denounced through the land, with the strongest
epitheis of opprobrium, the action of the almost
unanimous South in the last session of Congress
We have faithfully defended that action Indignantly
repealed his foul accusations, and sternly rebuked
his conduct. We afford to disregard the as
saults which few giddy journals of the South have
made upon us for cur pains, while they have ex-
toed the maligner of themselves. We feel serener
pride in the contemplation of our conduct than they
can possibly do in reviewing their own If they are
of the nature to lick the hand that scourges that
those who scorn the bringing service.
Upon the issue of Douglas or Lincoln, Lincoln or
Douglas confess to a serene indifference We can
not believe Illinois destitute of political worth as
to be reduced to the alternative Of choosing or
the other of this precious par ratrum her ambas
sador to the Senate of States and we are hopeful
that she will rebuke the arrogance of both Of them
in their assumption that the choice of SO august
functionary must perfcrce be made in the person of
or the other of themselves. There is better ma
teral in that young and noble State than these
men present. Their individual vanity may induce
them to think that they the only rightful
competitors for senatorial honors but the peo-
pie Of Illinois do not all subscribe to their own self
estimation and we confess to sense Of humilia-
ton that any statesmen writer's of tho South
should have consented to pander to the nsuferable
arrogance involved in stump caarass for the Senate
by ignoring all other men in Illinois, and counte-
nancing the exclusive pretensions Of Douglas and
Lincoln.
