judy. Douglas crnusug his position 10 re-

The position Of Judge Douglas is the only

hendrd Southern agiiatvrs, that Congress
has the right. and ought 10 interfere FOR the
protection Of slayery ia the territories, would
result 10 the defeat and total destruction OF
the Democratic party in ell the free States.
Ne have no idea the Charleston Convention
will commit 80 suicidal an act nor DO We
believe That any respectable portion Of
Southern Democrats will ask or expect any
such sacrifice Of principle. Mr. Douglas

the Presidency; and unless il should be
thought advisable to select man IRON the

his chances OF nomination are good. and ii
nominated, we should entertain no doubt Of
his election. Douglas and Popular Sover-
eighty would carry all before them, and our
victory IN 1850 would be even more decisive
and glorious than that Of 1896.

An Eloquent Extract.

Generation after generation says
a fine writer. "haye felt as we now feel,
and their lives were as active as our own.
They passed like vapor while nature
wore the same aspect Of beauty as when
her Creator commanded her 10 be-
The heaven shall be as brigh. over ouiH
graves as they now are around our paths.
The world will have the same attraction
fer our offsprings yet unborn, that she had
once for our children. Yet little while
and all will have happened. Tue lhrob.
bing heart will be stifed, and We shall be
at rest Our funeral will wind its way,
and prayers will be said and then we shall
be spoken Of, but The things Of life will
creep in. and our names will soon be for
gotten. Days will continue TO move on, and
laughter and song will be heard in the
room ir which we died, and the eye that
mourned for us will be dried and glistep
again with JOY, and will not remember to
lisp our names"

those who onceexultingly united bis name

His face was wrinkled and wan:
And he leaned both hands on his stout oak
As if all his work was done. s ees

The pockets were deep and wide,
Where his "specs" and his steel tobacco box
Lay snugly side by side. r
The old man liked to stir the fire,
So, near him the tongues were kept,
Sometimes he mused as he ga1ed at the Goals,
Sometimes ho sat and slept. 49, A

The sheen Of her silver hair.
There's happy look on her aged face,
As she busily knits for him.
