Judge Douglass Wooster Speech.

In justice to Judge Douglas we publish to-day his
speech delivered at Wooster, Ohio, in reply to the
pamphlet generally attributed to Judge Black which
we have heretofore spread before our readers
The essay by Judge Black was certainly courteous
in language and style, and polite towards Judge
Douglas. He INDUCED in no epithets--he applied
no hard names to the distinguished Senator from
Illinois. We regret that Judge Douglas has not
adopted the same courteous and respectful course
towards Judge Black. The latter certainly had a
right to reply to the Harpers Nagazine essay of the
former, and it must be admitted by all that he did
so with equal courtesy and ability.
The Richmond Enquirer says:
"The arguments employed by Judge Black were
worthy Of more polite language, much from the
endorsement they have received from the press and
reoplc of the country from their inherent weight
To stigmatise :" "iaSehoods," pamphlet that has
received the commcndation of the press is to charge,
by implication those who have aided in the crcua-
! ton with abctting falsehood
Judge Douglas must learn, that in free country
men have the right to differ from him without rem
derng themselves liable to the charge of falSehood
He will never recommend his principles 10y the ex-
hibition of such manners; for we believe both to be
equally repugnant to the American people. A gen.
tcman ceases not to be gentleman because he is a
candidate for the Presidency and when advancement
is sought by denouncing grave political papers
emanating from high officials as falsehoods" such
Advancement will never be obtained.
Such unmerited denunciations tend to strengthen
rather than impair the force of Judge Blacks pam
phlet. All rules of proprcty would not have been
violated if argument and reason could have accom-.
pshed the overthrow of the pamphlet Denuncia
ton and epithets weapons used when argument
and reason will not He who gives precedence
the former over the latter evidences the weakness
rather than the strength of his position We, there
fore, regard the Wooster speech far more objec
tionabe than the Harper essay, for it contains thu
same principles and is in much worse taste"

LETTER FROM GEN. LANE.-The Washington Con-
stitution is permitted by the gentleman to whom
it was addressed, to make the following extract of
Oregon, the 18th ult, which explains the cause Of
the closeness of the vote in the recent election and
the principles upon which the contest was fought
by the gallant Senator and his late worthy colleague,
Mr.. Smith
1--WE have just now received the official vote cast
at late election for Congress- Stout the romis
nee of the Democratic party, is electeda hard fight
and close vote For four weeks was in the sad
die or the stump; averaged from forty to fifty
miles day travel and made from to two speech
ses daily My late colleague, Mr., Smith, made the
round with me. Our triumph is the more glorious,
as the battle was fought strictly upon Democratic
principles. We took high national ground; stood
upon the Constitution and the rights of the States
under it. and their equality in the Territories; de-
Tended the policy of our present administration, as
also the decision of the Supreme Court in the bred
Scott case. Our triumph glorious, because it
was victory over the united Republican party,
aided and assisted by the traitor Bush, Of the States
man, This man, who owes so much to the Democ-
racy, turned the whole power of his corrupt sheet
against the nominee of the party. As an evidence
of his treason and efficiency traitor, Marion
county, in which his paper is published heretofore
Democratic by from 400 to 5o0O Attic late election
cast 766 majority for Logan the nominee of the Re
publican party and. evidence of his cowardice
after laborng constantly for Logan and persuadiDg
Democrats to vote for him, and although his co-edt
or and all in their employ voted for Logan; Bush
turned round and voted for Stout that he might still
claim to be Democrat, and be the better able here
after to destroy the party or to do it harm Thank
God, and the true, pure and unterrifed Democracy
we have triumphed over all opposition; the honor
Of Oregon has been maintained and the administers
ton of President James Buchanan fully endorsed |;
and what is Of vast Importance should the election
of President in 1860 go into the House, the Union
so far as Oregon is concerned, will be safe, There
fore, all hail to the true and pure Democracy of
Oregon" ~" a'S' !'.'''

New York Central Shares, and Missouri six per cts.
Prices were firm. and all the Railroad Stocks per
cent higher than Saturday. The Money Market
unchanged The Foreign Exchanges somewhat un-
settled The receipts and sales of Flour quite
heavy. Prices of low and medium brands advanced
Wheat was more sought after, and desirable lots
were stiffiy held. The transactions in Corn were
unmportant. Less activity was apparent in Provi-
sions. Coffee was in good demand. Cotton was
lightly dealt in. Hay, Hops Naval Stores and Rice
were inquired for Sugars were in moderate request
Molasscs was quiet. The late warhke news from
China had the effect of increasing the frmness of

very elaborate and significant article rcpel:ing with

to have heard from him those sqlattersovercignty
views justly so odious to Southern sentiment. The
concession of legal control of the institution of
slavery to the inhabitants OF Territory, whether
cxerted by direct indirect uniendly legislation,
we regarded as much opposed to the antecedent ex-
pressions of Mr.. Douglas it was inconsistent with
the tenets of democracy and the judicial interpreta-
tion of the Constitution, then recently promulged.
And our columns witness the fact that at the time
we commented upon the Freeport speech of Mr..
Douglass and dissented from the views therein takcn
