AT the close of Ia praye. meeting in coun-

lie girl about twelve years Of age remained
upon her knees, when most OF the cungrega-

fallen asleep, he touched her. and told her
Il was time to return home. To his surprise,
he found that she was engaged in prayer,
and he said: "All thiags whatsoever ye
shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall re-

Douglas and Fitch on the Here aftcr''
Resolutions,

We publish in another place the debate
between Messrs. Fitch and Douglas on the
resolution introduced By Mr. Wallace in
to the recent Democratic State Convention.
Ii will be seen that each construes It 10 Je
a declaration of his own views Equally
diverse are the constructions placed upon
it by other Democratic aulhorties-
The Louisville Democrat claims that il en-
dorses Mr.. Douglass position, while the
Courier insists that it afirms Mr. Buch-
anan's doctrine The Chicago Times, says
il is Douglas resolution, and the n \.
HeroI says it is decidedly a Buchanan
resolution. Mr. Ryan SAYS it has had all
the Douglasism strangled out Of it by the
eraSure of the "now,' and Mr. Wallace
SAYS it is as good a Douglas declaration a.
he wants. The Democracy OF Nermiilion
county. the Terre uaute Joaraal says, are
not willing to accept such dish water de
coc;ion Of their faYorite principle, and the
faithful OF parke county are equally disatis-
he'd Thus they go. Now we should like
to know what sort of an endorsement of
SIR. Douglass position a resolution is,
which. his opponents claim, afiirms their
doctrine, in which his friends have to re-
sort to very technical and fnc spun agu-
menls to show dos net The best that can
be sail of it is, that it IS ambiguous, and
everybody can make ol il what they please
We agree with Mr.. Fitch that it is much
more an endorsement Of Buchanan than
Douglas, AM Mr. Douglas's Ingenuity
cannot destroy The effect OF that unfortunate
hereafter which makes the resolution
say exactly what tho Presidents Message
SAYS. But why Shond there have been
left any room for such a construction
While seeking an endorsement of their
views they could easily proposed one that
there could have been no mistake about
as the o-mcaning or allmeaning thing
they did propose. 1t might have been vo.
tel down, but if it had been what worse
would they have been than they are now,
when the resolution they themselves sup
ported, is as confidently claimed by their
opponents as by themselves? If they had
attempted to procure a distinct and expli-
cit endorsement of Mr.. Douglass position
and had failed, they would at least have
been clear of the sin Of giving unintention,
al support to the Lecompton fraud, while
as it is, they have managed to so qualify
their support of Douglas as to make Buch-
anan' ) friends believe that they are suppor-
ting him.-Jpi. Jour

the rule of election, and is the true exam
pie of essential sovereignty of the people
Instead of submitting this proposed con-
stitution by the mere agent, the Conven-
tion, deferentially to the principals, the or
ganized sovereign people, there was All u
surpation--a Withholding from them of a
fair, free, full and equal election, to chose
or not to choose their own constitution of
self-government. Ii was er parte; it was
all one side; it was in gambling phrase, the
foul "heads win and tails you lose;' the
constitution was obliged to he adopted,
with the clause or without the clause; the
vote was bound to be "for the constitu-
tion;" it was all pro and no con; and we
say that was no submission to an election
at all
As the New York Herald remarks, "that
opinion is about as strongly expressed as
anything that has been said upon the sub
ject by Gen. Jim Lane or Governor Robin
son.
