Stephen A. Douglas and william HI. SewArt
on the Slavery Question.


Mr.. Douglas, in his late copyrighted manifesto
on popular sovereignty" in order to clear his
skirts Of the odor of black republicanism, sets
out with bold denunciation of " the irrepressi-
BILE conflict" Of W. H. Seward as the platform of
the republican party. 1t will be seen, however,
from the indignant reply of the Chevalier Webb,
which we have transferred to these columns, that
the "Little Giant" will not be allowed the privi-
lege of using either Mr.. Seward or his party as
the scape goat in this matter Of the sins Of Mr..
Douglas and his confederates. The Chevalier
Webb will not permit any such presumptuous
liberties with his idolized champion for the Presi
dency; ard co. In the commentary before us, we
find pretty strong case made out against Mr..
Douglas, and an ingenious but a very superb.
cial defence Of Mr.. Seward.
We are thus told, for example, that while Mr.
Seward has declared that there is " an irrepres.
sible conflict" going on between free labor and
slave labor, or between the North and South,
which must go on until all the States shall have
become free States or slave States" he also de-
clares that in behalf Of freedom he does not ex-
pect the work to be done "otherwise than
through the action of the several States, CO.
operating with the federal government, and all
acting in strict conformity to their respective
constitutions" In other words, 30 far is Mr..
Seward from concurring in the revolutionary
abolition policy of William Lloyd Garrison, that
he does not contemplate moving a single step in
the matter except under the sanction of law. Stl,
his object is the same-the abolition of slavery
throughout the United States; and the only prac.
teal difference between the plan Of Garrison and
the plan Of Seward is the difference between the
short work of q bloody revolution and the pro-
longed torture Of ian irepressible" sectional agi
tation.
Garriaon proposes the extinction Of slavery by
the simple exercise of a superior brute force
against the slave power" Seward proposes the
incessant pressure of the anti slavery sentiment
upon all our political affairs, in the shaping of
laws and constitutions, in their Interpretation
and in their execution, until even South Carolina
shall become too hot to hold the "slave olipar
chy." Thus, while the South cannot hear of the
abolition plan of Garrison without a shudder.
they cannot think of the more stealthy pro-
gramme Of Seward without feeling that it is in
reality the came thing, and only the more dan.
gerous in being covered up in the convenient dis
guises of law.
1t is not surprising, therefore, that Mr.. Doug.
las should, of all things, be most anxious to clear
himself Of any suspicion of sympathy with the
abominable doctrines of Mr.. Stewards Rochester
speech. And yet, who can undertake
to show that the course of Douglas on
the slavery question has been less mischievous
than the course Of Seward? We very much fear
that, during the last five years, Mr.. Douglas has
done more to build up the anti-slavery move.

balloons, is also one of the modes much in
vogue at the present day for acquiring notoriety
and shortening existence. La Mountain and Wise
having made that wonderful voyage from st.
Louis to Lake Ontario, and escaped by
miracle, professors of that science are initiating
their gas bags all over the country, and threat
ening to take transatlantic voyages, regardless
OF the tragical ends Of 30 many aeronauts, from
1carus down to Thurston, who was carried up
BY the heels, and whose body was found some
months afterwards on one of the Western
prairies. One of the Godards used to ascend on
the back Of horse suspended from the car, and
stand on his head and perform other feats in his
ascent. In this, too he has had several imitators
both here and in Europe.
With all these professors Of the sciences of
tightrope walking, precipice-j jumping, lion
tanning and air-navigatiDg, the great incentive
to action is regard FOR their professional reputa-
ton. If they fail in achieving what rival pro-
fessors achieve, their occupation is gone. Hence
we see such daring exhibitions in circusriding,
throwing somersets, walking on large ball
up and down inclined planes, and other equally
hazardous and equally ridiculous performances
Now, ifpoliticians would only have such regard
for their professional regulations as these people
have, it would be a public blessing; for whether
they achieved what they performed, or failing
therein broke their necks, it would be alike a
gain to the community. Cannot we get up some
such rivalry among the politicians? They give
exhibitions of ground and lofty tumbling- throw
somersets and turn their coats-every now aud
again, while riding in the political circus; but
still they have no sort Of regard for their profess
sional or even social reputation. They never
think Of performing half of what they promise,
and most usually they reverse the entire pro-
gramme Just now there is considerable ferment
among politicians all over the country. Just as
there Is among the tight rope performers. The
only difference Is that while the latter perform,
even at the risk of their lives, all they promise,
the former never do anything of the kind. They
need very much Lesson from Blondin and De
Lave.

Our Social Circle.
A Rift in the Cloud.

Andrew Lee came homo at evening from
the shop where he had worked all day, tired,
and out of spirits; came home to his vile,
who was also tired, and out ofspirits.
"A smiling wife, and q cheerful home
what paradise it would be !" said Andrew
to himself as he turned his eyes from the
clouded face of Mrs. Lee, and sat down, with
knitted brows, and a moody aspect.
Not word was spoken by either. Mrs
Lee was getting supper, and she moved about
with weary step.
Come she said at last, with a side
glance at her husband.
There was invitation in the word only,
none in the voice of Mrs Lee.
Andrew arose and went to the table. He
was tempted to speak an angry word, but
controlled himself, and kept silence. He
could find no fault with the chop, nor the
sweet homemade bread nor the fragrant tea.

as he commenced walking the floor of thei
little breakfast-room, with his hands thrus
desperately away down into his trowser
pockets, and his chin almost touching hi
breast.
After removing all the dishes and takin
them into the kitchen, Mrs Lee spread
green cover on the table, and placing fres
trimmed lamp thereon, went out and shu
the door after her husband alone with his III
pleasant feelings. He took long, dee
breath as she did SO, paused in his walk stoo
still for some moments, and then drawing

Patience.

The degree of exhortation which some
qualities will bear is wonderful Indeed,
some excellent traits seem established for the
very purpose of enabling US to tell each other
what we should do and be. Easily first
among many stands the world-renowned virtue
of PATIENCE. All men are agreed that all
other men ought to possess it. 1t is beautl-

children. Men in pro Iperity commend
patience to men in adversely.
If your tooth aches, and has ached for two
nights and three days, nothing irritates you
more than to have your friend tell you how
patient you should be; but ifAe has the TOOTH
ache, nothing is more natural than that you
should urge him to be patient. Thus We are
very patient Of other peoples sorrows. am
myself quite patient under losses which do
rot touch me, but my neighbor. Also, Of
things which | am never called to perform, |
have nice perception ofpatience. Docs my
wife lose some SAVIOR of that heavenly grace
with the children, or the servants, or even
with her most excellent and exemplary hus-
band, it would do a saint good to hear me
lay down the duty of patience! What pity
it is that you cannot be patient for me, and [
for you,-you bear my trials so well, and l
am so patient ander yours

The Autumn of LIft

Before my>door, in summers heat,
Proudly the elms their branches spread;
Cool verdure sprang beneath my feet,
And shadows played around my head,
Joyful passed the sultry hour,
And Knocked the SUMS meridian power.
But when, with whitening hand, the frost
Shrivelled the leaves, and gaunt and bare,
Their naked arms the elm tree tossed,
While Autumn tempests rent the air,
mourned the summer glories fed
And copious tears of sadness shed.
When Winter came, and cold and still,
The ee-king forged his frozen chain,
And over snow-clad vale and hill
Midnight assumed her solemn reign;
Forth looking from my window bars,
Through the stripped limbs saw the stars.
Thus earthly loves, like summer leaves
GLADDEN. but intercept our view;
But when, bereft, the spirit grievts,
And hopes are crushed and comforts few
10 in the depth of sorrows night
Beams forth from far celestial light.

Singing.


The Winter nights were cold and long,
And snow drifts piled the windy streets
Singer sang simple song,
And stayed wanderers restless feet.
He fingered till the voice of Spring
Had told the melting SHOWS their fate
But she had taught his henri to sing,
Ere parting at her fathers gatei,
The sea is rough; he went his way,
To fit his vessel for the swell,
'I3ut as he toiled. his heart for aye
Would sing the song it learned so we'll.
Above the sounding monotones
OF Oceans melancholy roar.
AT times, the Singers silver tones
Would reach him ON that lonely shore.
Cheered by their tender melody,
His arm grew strong, his heart grew brave =,
He longed to cope with storm and sea
To launch his vessel on the wave
But, 10 storm came o'er the sea
The noise of waves was on the shore
The tempest howled in mocking gec-
The Singers voice was heard no more
lie labors yet but sadder songs
Have mingled with that early lay,
Ana drowned the melody, he longs II
