Senator Douglas.

As some Of the Republican papers are
in the habit Of indulging in uukiud filings
at this distinguished gentlemen. it is rath.
er refreshing to find q paper like the New
York Tribune stepping forward and award
ing the praise which his recent course
upon the Lecompton question so richly
deserves at the hands Of the American
people.
The Tribune, in speaking Of the senti-
ments Of the people in regard to the po-
sition, ofthe Illinois Senator says, ..it is
not to be disguised that they do regard the
course Of Senator Douglas throughout the
Lecompton struggle with an emphatic ap.
proval which borders on admiration
They have seen him separate himself
from triumphant and almost invincible
Administration, which had honors to dis
pense and millions to disbursc, braving
the denunciations Of the party organizas
tion and party press which had for TWEEN
ty year. borne him onward from triumph
to triumph, and from indigence and OBJ.
scurity to opulence and distinction--they
have seen him incur the deadly and un-
quenchable hatred Of the Slave Power,
blasting in moment all his reasonable
hopes Of attaining the Presidency through
the machinery and the spell Of the Dem1
ocratic party--and for what? Changes
like John Calhoun's, from PROSTATE mi
nority to an invincible majority, are cas-
" accounted for; but when statesman
so high in position, in power and in hopes,
separates himself from triumphant ma
jority to fight momentous battle on the
side Of a minority TO whom he had al
ways stood in deadly opposition, it is
scarcely reasonable to attribute that
change to any motive which does not hon
or his conscientiousness and his courage.
And it seems to us particularly upgra-
cious in those to whom he has lent the
weight Of his powerful arm to unite with
his and their implacable adversaries in
disparaging his motives, belittling his in
fuence, and paralyzing his exertions."

1y In Pittsburg, at the Daily Prayer
meetings, it is the rule that no prayer shal
exceed three minutes. An old gentleman
was called on to pray. He said he could
not regulate his voice nor raise his spirits
in the time allowed, but he remembered
prayer his childlen said at night, and
he would repeat it:
"Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep;
If should die before wake
Ipray the Lord my soul to take"
This was at 8 A. NJ; and so out Of place
that it caused general smile. Another
brother Deacon A., a pious man. bu1
a most incorrigible wag. took the floor,
and, after stating that he would confne
himself to the three minute rule, closed
his eyes. clasped his hands, and with the
gravity Of fifty pastors. said:
Lord! / have risen from my bed;
In truth and virtue I'd be led.
And should die before sleep,
Dear Lordl my soul in glory keepl
The deacon sat down, and despite hi,
attempts at gravity, his lips twiched. and
close observers saw mischeivous twinkle
in his keen gray eyes. ta
