Inconvenience, he should now discharge

but in civil causes his lordship thought a
verdict might be given either by majorlty

should submit some such measure to the

would be an improvement in the administra-
ton of the law. As the jury were mot

Mr. Douglas.

| Under a popular form of government
like ours.a few men are continually cominp
forward upon the sceHe, and for brief hour
reign lords of the ascendant But time
sweeps away into :orgeifuiness, all such
ephemeral greatness, and records on her
imperishable tablets the names of those
alone who have done something to be re-
mcmbered, or written something worthy el
being read. He whose thoughts or actions
influence the opinions, the character or the
doctrines Of bis race, may rest assured of
recognition and remembrance, through all
successive generations.
But men like Mr.. Douglas live only for
the hour. They perform no grea. or mem
orable actions, and achieve no lasting fame.
Nevertheless, circumstances frequently
pace such men in the foreground, and for a
brief space they are waited upward by the
breath of popular applause. Mr.. Douglas
Is called the "lttle giant" His friends de-
sire TO place him in the President al chair.
For what reason. pray! When and where
has he given proofs Of superior mind cr
superior character! That he is an sdroit
and capable politician, is doubtless true
But what great measure of benefcent policy
or what example of lofty principle is iden,i-
fed with his namet That which most dis
tinguisbes him is the authorship of the
Kansas-Nebraska bill,the most unfortunate
and in its results the most disgraceful, act
of Legislation that cur country has known.
I .bot pi,ucihla ha

it cannot be disguised that that repeal was
initiated by small band Of scheming, rest.
less politicians, like Atchison, of Missouri,
and that Douglas became, either voluntarily
or involuItarily, their Spl kesman and chief.
He assumed that ''bad eminence," and his
only merit is that he defended it with con-
stancy and boldness. The result has been
that freedom in Kansas, which was insured
BY tie Missouri Compromise, was at last
rendered secure only after struggle which
disgraced the national character, and well
nigh precipitated civil war. Shall Mr.
Douglas be elevated to the Chief Magis-
tracy of great nation as reward for a
measure Of this character! Or does the
ground of his pretenSions consist in his op-
position to the Lecompton constitution,-
Certainly we approve he course he pursued
with regard to that fraudulent instrument.
But we can discover in that course moth ing
that places him in the class OF eminent
statesmen. He is wanting in the large
views. the extensive knowledge and lofty

The CAMELs-TBEIR STRENGTH.-We
visited Parsons wharf on Tuesday to wit.
ness feat of strength performed by one o.
Mr.. Wstson's camels, of which there we're
near a dozen on the wharf, Of all sizes and
ages. The camel loaded was one of the
largest. Upon the word Of command being
given. the camel laid down ready TO receive
his losd, which consisted Of five bales OF
hay, weighing ia the aggregate over l,4OO
pounds, which was firmly bound to the
pannier placed upon the animals bump
Upon the utterance of command by the ma
tive keeper, the huge animal rose, without
an apparent extra efror:, to his feet, and
walked off in stately manner along the
wharf and through the ci'y. We were ir-
formed that the same had had 1000 pounds
placed upon him, with which enormous
weight he easily rose. The anina are all
exceedingly iractable, and seem 10 possess
much affection for any one who treats them
kindly. In their native country the average
load ior full grown camel is some 800
pounds, with which they perform long
journeys over deserts, with but little food
or wafer We doubt not that with the
abundant forage found in all parts OF Texas,
and full supply of water generally, the
camel viii improve in strength and general

tive country Gaereston Nelcs. 30h u!i.

FAGARIEs OF SOUTHERN WINTER
While We of the North are experiencing nn
intensity of cold, with all it's accompani-
ments of ice and snow and frosted ears and
fingers, we observe, from our exchanges,
that our Southern neighbors, who are fav-
ored with a more genIel climate, aud are
very differently regarded BY the weather
clerk. At Savannah they have fresh shad;
in Florida, green peas and other vegetables
and fruits, which would appear mos unsea-
sonable to us at this time. Al St. Helena.

THE Pos FAMILY.-The death of Deacon
Adam Poe, OF Ravenna, Ohio, on the 9Th
of January, is the occasion OF notice of
this family in TIE Dsmocrat nf that place
Deacon Poe was born in Green township,
Beaver county. Pa. and about sixty eight
when he died. He was the eldest Of
