Moral Effects Of Protracted Degre.

dntion.
Long periods of general suffering
make far less impression on our minds
than. the short, sharp struggle in which
few distinguished individuals perish.
Not that we overestimate the horror
and the guilt Of open blood-shedding,
but we are much too patient of the
greater misery and the greater sin OF
periods Of quiet legalized oppression;
of that most deadly of all evils, when
law, and even religion herself. are false
to their divine origin and purpose, and
their voice is no longer the voice OF
God, but of His enemy. In such
cases the evil derives advantage, in o
manner, from the very amount Of its
own enormity. No pen can record.
no volume can contain, the details OF
the daily and hourly suffering Of a
whole people, endured without inter-
ruption. through the whole life of man,
from the cradle to the grave. The
mind itself can scarcely comprehend
the wide range OF the mischief; how
constant poverty and insult, long en-
dured as the natural portion of de-
graded caste, bear with them to the
sufferers something worse than pain.

how they dull the understandings and

The great evil of Paris is that there
is No such institution there as Home;
as a general fact, that sancti6er of the
heart-that best shelter and friend of
woman-that beautiful feeling called
Home" e"-does not exist. The near
est approach to this dcplorable state
of things is found among the business
people of the United States. Ihave
noticed this particularly IN New York.
where the man is never at home, ex-
cept to sleep. and even then his brain
is SO racked. that he brings no fond
affection to his family. The husband S
brain is a ledger. and his heart count
ing-room or workshop. And this is
as true in New York as in Paris. In
deed. as for intrigues. New York may
almost rival Paris. There is no coun-
try where the women arc more fond ol
dress and finery than the United States,
and history shows us that there is ne
such depraFer of women as this vanity
A hundred women stumble over that
block of vanity where one falls by any
other cause; and if the insane mania
for dress and show does not end in Z
general decay of female morals. ther
the lessons of history and the expert
cnce Of all ages must go FOR naught.

hat the massacre of unarmed and unoffend
ng freemen in Southern Kansas took plac'
lear the Marais du Cygne of the Frencl
'oya9ers:
A bush a. Of roses,
Where rose never grew.
Great drops on the bunch-g grass,
But not Of the dew.
A taint in the sweet air
For wild bees TO shun.
A stain that shall never
Bleach out in the sun.
Back. steed Of the prairie.
Sweet song bird, fly back.
Wheel hither, bald vulture.
Gray wolf, call thy pack.
The foul human yultures
Have feasted and fed;
The wolves of the Border
Have crcpt from the dead.
From the hearts of their cabins,
The fields of their corn,
Unwarned and unweaponed,
The victims were torn,-
By the whirlwind of murder
Swooptd up and swept on
To the low, reedy fen lands,
The Marsh of the Swan.
With vain plea for mercy
No stout knee was crooked;
In the mouths of the rifles
Right manly they looked,
How paled the MAY sunshine,
Green Marais du Cygne,
When the death smoke blew over
Thy lonely ravine.
I'm the homes of their rearing,
Yet warm with their lives,
Ye wait the dead only
Poor children and wives.
Put out the red forge.fre,
The smitlrsAall not come;
Invoke the brown oxen,
The ploughman lies dumb.
Wind slow from the Swans Marsh,
D dreary death. train,
With pressed lips as bloodless
As lips OF the slain!
Kiss down the young eyelids,
Smooth down the gray hairs;
Let the tears quench the curses
That burn through your prayers.
Strong man Of the prairics
Mourn bitter and wild,
Wall desolate woman.
Weep, fatherless child.
But the grain of God springs up
From ashes beneath,
And the crown of his harvest
l. life out Of death
Not in vain on the dial
The 81 de moves along
To point the great contrasts
OF right end OF wrong;
Free homes and free alter,
And fields of ripe food;
The reeds Of the Swans Marsh,
Whose blossom is Of blood.
On the lintels of Kansas
That blood shall not dry;
Hcncciorth the Bad Angel
Shall go harmless by;
Hcnccforth to the sunset,
Unchecked on her wav.
Shall Liberty follow
The march Of the day.

Judge Douglas in the following con.
cisc and pointed manner:
Il shall not weary you by reading
further from the record OF Judge Dou-
slAs. but will refer to few well-known
facts disclosed in his political history
A few years ago he proclaimed the
Missouri Compromise sacred thing.
which no hand was ruthless enough to
disturb. Shortly afterwards his was
the hand stretched forth TO abolish it.
In January. 1854. he stated in writ
ten report that the repeal Of the Mis-
souri, Compromise in the organization
Of Nebraska. would be a departure
from the Compromise Measures OF
1850 In less than sixty days after
wards he inserted n provision in the
Nebraska Bill declaring the existence
Of the Missouri Compromise incon-
sistent with the legislation Of 1885,
In 1854. after the repeal of the Mis-
souri, Compromise. he declared that
the people of the Territory of Kansas
had the right. WHILE IN A TER
RITORIAL CONDITION. to regulate
the tubiect Of Slavery for themselves.
Now he indorses the oJifur dicfa decis-
ions Of the Supreme Court declaring
that neither Congress nor the people
have right to exclude Slavery To
show You how fully he indorses the
dtcta of the Dred Scott case, l will
read you an extract from his speech.
delivered in Springfield. June. 10Th
1887. Abiding to the opinions Of the
Judges he said:
The Court did not attempt to avoid
responsibility dy disposing of the case
upon technical points, without touch
ing the merits; nor did they SO out Of
the way to decide questions not prop
crly before them. and directly present
ed by the record Like honest and
conscientious Judges, as they are, they
met and decided each point as it arose,
and faithfully performed their whole
duty. and nothing but their duty 10

questions in the case, and nothing but
what was essential to the decision Of
the case upon its merits"
To show how completely the opin-
ions of Judges in the Dred Scott case
uproct every thing like Popular Sover-
eighty in Territory. / will read q
single sentence from the opinion OF the
Court, as pronounced by Judge Tancy
After stating that Congress had no
power under the Constitution to ex-
cludc Slavery from a Territory, Judge
fancy says:
IF Congress itself can not do this
If it is beyond the powers conferred
on the Federal Governmcnt-it will
be admitted. we presume, that it could
not authorize Territorial Government
to exercise them. 1t could confer no
power on any local Government ostab.

provisions Of the Constitution.
The idea of sustaining Popular Sow
ereignty in Territory and the doc
trines OF the Dred Scott Decision in
the same breath, is so utterly incon-
sistent that one or the other had to be
abandoned; hence we now find Mr.
Douglas contending that Popular Sow
ereignty means the right of the people
