Mr.. DOUGLAS AND THE SLAVE TRADE -
In letter. to Col. Britain Judge Douglas
declares himselef irrevocably opposed to
the re-oponing of the African slave trade.
Our impression is. and was from the very
cOmmencem&t of the late noise and con-
fusion about opening up anew the slave
trade, that therepever was a sane politician
either north or south, in favor of recog-
nizing this traffic by governmental authori-
ty. Fanatics in the south, for mere specu-
lative purposes, may have intimated the
propriety of this step;'but not as polite
ians. The Republicans in the north have
done all the agtating, and it grieves them
near to death to have prominent Demo-
Gratis denounce the project; and now since
they can no longer cry bleeding Kansas"
and are to be deprived of the only morsel
to roll under their tongues--that the De-
mocracy of the whole land are in favor of
the African Slave trade---what will they do
for political capital. Their thunder will all
be knocked from under them, and "Othel.
los occupations gone"

carrying with them the less servere punish
ment. The opinion is entertained here a.
nong distinguished gentlemen that, in view
of all the facts, notwithstanding the estab-
lished rules of interpreting statutes, the
question will probably be brought before
the Supreme Court of the United States for
its decision.

An EFFEcrUAL REMEDY.-To get rid Of the
abo minable mosquitoes that so disturb us this hot
weather, procure one of those hornets nests,
which are generally found hanging to a swinging
limb in the forest-take it to your room, close all
the doors and windows, and let the hornets out
They will totally annihate the mosquitoes If il
does not prove effectual, will charge nothing
for the rccine.

ST LOUIS August 8.
A special dispatch to the Bulletin says
that the Overland express from Denver
City, with advices to the goth ult., reached
Leavenworth last night.
There was great excitement at the mines
in consequence of the discovery ofrich dig
gins over the divide between the middle
and south forks, near the head waters of
the Colorado. Hundreds were leaving
daily for the diggings.
Another express is due to-day, and will
probably bring the details of the new dis
coverles.

that Emerson Etheridge is elected to Con

New Orleans on the 9th, says that Sam
Houston is certainly elected Governor.
OPENING THE SLAVE TRADE IN TEXAS
The Henderson (Rusk county, Texas
Southern Beacon, whose editor, John Nc
CLARITY, is candidate for the Legislature, in
speaking on this subject, utters the follow
ing language:
ANY reflective man must know that, I'm
der presen circumstances, a repeal of the
laws prohibiting the African slave trade is
impossible; the measure would be defeated
by at least four-ffths maj ority in the
southern States, to say nothing of the nor
thern vote. This minority assuredly could
not expect the measure migrated upon the
platform to be adopted at Charleston in
l860--such a movement would destroy
every vesiige of hope of the success of the
democratic ticket which may be brought
forward by the body
The new doctrine is not popular, ii
seems, in Texas.

II Is glorious eve, brother,
"Our Star" is twinkling bright,
As though IL horrow'd those pure beams
From heavens own spotless light
1t is night when human hearts
Another spirit ask
With theirs to mingle, aud with them
In loves soft light to bask
Full many a hygonc day, brother
We've roamed the fields together
Aud many glecsone hour we've passed,
OF bright and sunny weather,
And little sorrow then could stay
Upon each childish brow,
But others say you are man,
And I'm o woman, now.
Well SO it goes this curious world.
One change succeeds another
And You and are parted far
But still we're sister, brother;
And time nor change can e'cr divide
Our living souls asunder,
Though suns grow dim, and stars may fall,
And fade the heaven yonder;
The tio that binds our kindred souls
With death shall only sever,
And then but TO expand their powers
Forever and forever.

BY CALVIN B. MCDONALD.
Weary, the Hebrew herdsmau trode Mathberahs plain,
And, toiling slowly thro the Southern land,
Sought rest amid the sylvan groves of Ramah
His fathers tribe was Benjamin and sending forth
His son. to search for strayng cattle,
Kish proudly gazed upon his noble boy
Who rose above his fellows, strong and TALL
AS he had seen the stately cedars aspire above
The humber trees of Lebanon.
The youthful beard curling on his lip,
Dark as the shrouds that nightly hung on Carmel;
And the full strong blush of youth mantled on
His cheek, sunset gowed upon the crimson sea
His snews swolled with manhood's perfect strength,
And his broad bosom rose and fell,
AS wearied from Judea's burning sands,
He sought the shade of shelterng olive
The youthful herdsman SAUL.
Out towards the sea, uprose tho hills Of Salem
Mount Zon towering from the plain,
Like Gath's proud champion, whom David slew
And eastward rose Norah where Judea's king
Upreared the grandest wonder of the world
The stately Temple. While northward, stood
The omnous Mount of Calvary from which,
With one tremendous throe Of agony,
The dying JEW upheld sinking world
The herdsman and his slave then sought
The gates of Ramah where dwelt the Seer
Madens with sandalled feet and olive cheek
Came out to draw from ROchers well,
And lave their round brown arms
Within the cool, upgushng fountain
Their dark hair fell, in many folds,
On bosoms pure as virgin Of Bozrah,
And ebon gances flashed with knding love,
AS setting down the vessel at the spring
They gazcd upon the manly form and curling beard
And broad, white brow, draped in waving folds
OF matchless hair that crowned the of Kish.
"Yonder," they said
"Within the sacred vail the prophet Samuel bows
Before the Ark. Put off thy shoes, for, 10 to-day
The PRESENCE burns before assembled Israel "
Forth came the prophet,
Bending low upon his staff, for he was very old
Time had wrought full alphabets of age
Upon the once smoothe brow Elkana kissed
In the first triumph of fathers love;
And the night-dark locks that Hannah held
Aloft before the Lord had turned to gray;
And long, white lash hung heavily DER eyes
That oft had reverent closed when the SHEK1NAH fell
Upon the sacrafce His patrarcha beard
Sank down upon his breast, like drifting snow,
And the thin invoking hand, above the son of Kish,
Shook with the palsios of prophetic years,
Il AN THE SEER
Z" Stand forth, thou comest son of Benjamin
CAS- for thine asses, lost three days ago.
{" Set not thy mind on them, for they are found
" 0 Lord this day 1 raise to IsraeIs throne
"The goodest of all Jacobs sons
"Upon thee, Saul l pour the holy JUNCTION
"Of Abrams God. Amounted reign
" And now ye of Jacob, look
" Upon my thin white hair and count
{" My multitude of years Let God
Judge me, l have judged his people
Behold the judgment of the Lord
"Whie / invoke lis thunder and his hail,
I" For God is wroth with Judah ~
And then the Prophet kissed his banchng cheek,
And fell before the Ark and worShiped.
