DOUGLAS AND LINcoLN.-The friendly TeIa-
tiOns between the competitors for the next Sem
atorial term in Illinois are attested by the follow
ing extract from the speech of Mr.. Douglas, in
Chicago:
I" have observed from the public prints that
but a few days ago the Republican party of the
State of lllipois, assembled in convention in
Springfield, laid down platform, and nominated
a candidate for the United States Senate, as nv
successor. take great pleasure in saying that
have known, personally and intimately, for
about quarter Of century, the worthy gentle
man nominate for my place, and will say also
that regard him as kind, amable gentleman,
and an honorable opponent, and hence whatever
issue may have with him will be an issue of
principle and not one involving personality"
And again, in the course OF his speech the Sen.
ator said:
= DO not choose, therefore, to 90 into an ar,
gument with Mr.. Lincoln IN reviewing the yari-
Gus decisions that the Supreme Court has made,
either upon the bred Scott case or any other
and have no idea of appealing from the decision
OF the Supreme Court upon a constitutional
question to decision of town meeting. 1 am
aware that an eminent lawyer of this city, now
no more, once said that the State of Illinois had
the most perfect judicial system in the world,
subject to exception, which could be cured BY
slight amendment That amendment was that
the laws should be changed so as to allow an an.
peal from the decisions of the Supreme Court Of
illinois, on all constitutional qnestions, to two
justices of the Peace. My friend Lincoln as
sures me that that proposition was made when I
was Judge of the Supreme Court. II that be.
true, don't think that that fact adds any great
er Importance or weight to the suggestion"

COX Steptoe is severely censured for his

REV. Mr.. KELLEY's LECTURE ON TEMPER

the third of the course Of temperance lectures,

and effectual is opened unto me, and there are
many adversaries." After explaining the cir.
cumstanees that called forth the words of the
text, the speaker proceeded to make an applica.
tion Of the text to the temperance cause list,
the different aspects Of the temperance cause. A
great door was opened in the cause, when we
adopted the pledge, from distilled liquors. This
was the first step in the cause, and shat was a
step in advance Of the times. ID, A still wider
door was opened when we adopted the
total abstinence pledge, The opposition to this
movement showed that another great step had
been taken but this was not the "effeetual'
door; men we're falling by thousands into

no hope Of the drunkard, must let them die off

from the drunkard's grave. But temptation was
too strong for their burning appetites aud the
next etfeetua door that was opeued, was the Sons

by these societies. But tho great and eifectual

the rumseler cannot be reached, except with the
strong arm Of the law. This should be used.
