Rev. James Freeman Clark of

ship. last Sunday paid the following
eloquent tribute to the character OF
the late Horace Mann:
"He devoted his life. in youth,
manhood and age to the best good oil
his fellow men. lie spared himself
no labor, no sacriice-he gave all
his time, all his means, all his facul
ties to the Improvement of popular
education. If he had employed half
of tine same labor to get money. he
would have been rich man long
ago-half oft to get political position,
he would have been powerful
man-Governo of Massachusetts,
Senator. with good chance be-
yond the Presidency. Ii he had en-
ployed the same talents and industry
TO get reputation, he would have been
famous man. Eulogics and har-
argues would have been uttered over
him. But instead of this he chose to
give the undivided strength Of his
manhood and his maturest talents TO
the poor little Irish AMI American
children Of Massachusetts,. He chose
to dig deep, and lay the foundation of
the State on the solid rock Of educa-

The Programme for the Charleston
GouNentton


The following we copy from the
Mississippian. 1t foreshadows fully
and plainly the programme Of the
Southern democracy in 1860. and
from that fact possesses much impor-
tance and Significance:
VIII the National Democracy.
when they assemble in Convention at
Charleston. meet the Territorial ques-
tion fairly and squarely. and plant
themselves boldly upon the Cincin-
natl platform. with the Dred Scott
Interpretation that it is the duty OF
Congress to afford adequate protection
to slave as well as other property in
the Territories; or will they disappoint
the reasonable expectations Of the un-
faltering Southern democracy. and
speak in Delphic phrases or with
forked tongue?
If the majority shirk the issue and
shrink from the manly performance
Of duty. then farewell TO the integrity
of the National Democratic orgsnizs-
ton If they refuse to indorse the
decision of the Supreme Court Of the
United States. an impartial tribunal.
uninhuenced by sectional and partisan
prejudice. and looking only to HE
true Interpretation ofthe Constitution,
then they will have forfeited all claim
to a continuation of the confidence OF
the minority. The decision thus rem
dered will afford platform upon
which all can stand who are willing
to preserve the Constitution, with all
its sacred guarantees. and to mete ont
to every State its just rights in the
confederacy. The repudiation of that
arbitration will evince such depar-
ture from the true faith, and such a
repugnance to the proper discharge of
indispensable obligations. as will force
the southern democracy to dissolve a
connection which they could no longer
sustain without compromising their
own honor and sacrificing the rights
of their own section.
The delegates from the Southern
States will go to Charleston with the
Drel Scott decision in their hand, and
ask its Endorsement. Will the North
ern democracy refuse to comply with
a requirement so Just and reasonable?
Upon their answer depends the united
action of the party in the approaching
Presidential election.
