The Hon. John Bell addressed large aud
ence at Memphis on the 10Th plt. 1t wa
strong and eloquent Union speech, as We lear
from the Enquirer, which says he spoke Of c.
Fremont as an Abolition candidate. In il
conclusion, he said:
off it would be any satisfaction to those Wh
were charging him with willingness to afiia'
with Black Republicans, he would tell thel
that he was willing to affiliate with Black h
publcans, or with men of any other party va
would frankly place themselves upon nations
platform, and adjur sectional issues, for ID
purpose of freeing the Republic from the nj
rule and corruption which had degraded al
debased it. In such a cause, and on such
platform, he would even take the vilest of ID
Democratic leaders by the hand, and iorg'
their past transgressions, under the promise tbs
their future conduct should be less miscqievou
to the country"
The fact that Mr.. Bell condescends TO aceep
the votes of "Black Republicans for cano.

gratifying to certain class of Republicans

HE REVIEW.

Life for a Life. BY the author Of John Halifax Gen
tleman," "Oive," &c. &c. New York Harper q
Brothers 1882 For sale by Taylor & Msury, Wash
ington, d C.
Miss Muloch has won golden opinions, both
from the press and the reading public gen.
orally, as the author Of John Halifax" Few
works of fiction, lately, have been better well
coined, and, as we think, deservedly SO, Ever
since, therefore, it was announced that new
tale was in the course of publication from her
pen, expectation has been on tiptoe to receive
it. And, now it has been issued, is that expect
alton met or disappointed We know not
what may be the general feeling, for it is too
soon to learn it but we think the work before
us is one of high merit As an artistic work,
we are disposed to place it above either of her
former tales. 1t has some peculiarities of its
own, too which aid in producing an impression
of nature and life. The author has substituted
for the form of letters by the different parties
to their friends, headings of chapters, Her
Story" His Story" which, as a sort of imag-
mary correspondence or journal, let us into the
feelings of her heroine and hero. The promi-
nent characters are few in number, clearly de-
fined, and well sustained. They do not burst
upon the readers apprehension all at once, but
are gradually developed, with great skill and
by slight touches, one after another, in the
course of the progress of the story. The incl
dent from which, as a knot, the whole compli-
cation is wrought out, is at first limited at
vaguely, then by degrees spreads out its threads
over the entire warp and wool, till the picture,
in all its details, is before the reader, inwoven
with sort Of moving life of its various person
ages. Theodore Johnson and Max Urquhart
grow into love with each other, slowly and vet
most naturally. They are the central charac-
tiers, and they are finely drawn. The clouds,
however, soon begin to lower; there is a mystic
rious difficulty in the background, which, with
its shadows, is looming over the sunny pros
pect, and soen sadder thoughts blend in. A
fathers strong determinations comes out. a
brothers homicide in former years a VOW
made, and various concomitants of circum-
stance and situation perplex and entangle the
issue; but the author, with rare talent moves
forward, and by her skill at last brings the
shifting scenes to general close. The devoted
lovers are united, indeed, but it is to exile
themselves afar from their former homes There
are also two sisters, with their fates and for
tunes, and some other subordinate characters.
Thus arranged and drawn out, it will be readily
understood that an authoress like Miss Muloch
could hardly fail deeply to interest her readers
in the incidents involving so greatly the happi-
ness Of the family around which all the story
moves, as one after another these greater or less
influences fall in and conduct forward the train
of causes and effects to the end she has in view.
There is no apparent effort, no attempt at effect
but she writes just if the events were actually
transporting within her knowledge.

HARMONY OF THE DEMocRAcY.-We entreat
our readers not to pass over the article from
the Richmond Enquirer, on Mr.. Douglass essay
in HarperS' Magazine 1t will be seen that
towards the close of the article the ENQUIRER
gives the preference to Mr.. Stewards position
to that of either Mr.. Douglas or the Admins
tration and Hunter Compromise"
The Enquirer says that " Let Mr. Douglass
last essay be published to the people ofte South,
and not one Southern State UiH consent to yield
him a single cote at Charleston.1 1t SAYS. fur
ther, " That no man IN Virginia can nor be
found bold enough to advocate Mr.. Douglass
position an the press or at the hustings"
When it is recollected that there are three
or four Republican or Free-Sol newspapers in
Virginia, this statement of the Enquirer would
indicate that Mr.. Douglas has fallen very low
in the estimation of his Southern friends.
Even the avowed advocates of Free -Soilism
may speak with boldness on Virginia soil, and
successfully establish newspapers and free la.
Dor colonies but no man dares defend the doc.
trine of Senator Douglas
There is doubtless some exaggeration in
this; but it is evident that Mr., Douglas has IA
tally damaged bis prospects in the South by
his popular sovereignty"

HAS Mr.. BUCHANAN DESERTED HIS PARrY?-
The Texas Democratic papers complain bitter
ly that the President will not remove prominent
officials who bolted the regular ticket of the
party in the late election, and gave all their in
huence to Gen. Houston, the Independent OPP
position candidate. The journals in question
seem to be entirely behind the times. The
Presidents organ boasts loudly over the election
of Houston as an Administration triumph
The Huntsville (Texas) Item denies that the
regular Runnels Democracy are in favor of re-
viving the slave trade. 1t is true that from
prudential considerations they refrained from
ENGRAVING that measure upon their platform,
but their leaders are known TO favor it, and
their newspapers to advocate it. But the over
whelming defeat they have met with at the
hands of Gen. Houston has slenced them for
the present. ls ~

Senator Bigler.

The events Of the Both Congress have
placed Senator Biglcr in the front rank
of American Statesmen. lie has shown
himself equal to all Senatorial emergen-
cios. His efforts at the opening of the
memorable Congress named in support Of
the Presidents Kansas policy which were
wholly eXtomporaneous, were striking evil
dences of q high order of ability for ready
off hand debate, and were all the moro OBJ
served and crcditabe to himself from the
fact that his antagonist was Judge Doug
las, who found in the Pennsylvania Sena
tor "a toeman wort Y Of his steel" In
subsequent efforts, Mr.. Bigler fully sus-
tanned the laurcls he won in the Lecomp,
ton controversy. We publish i'm the G6-
Mus to-day some remarks he made about
the close OF the session on the everlasting
theme Of slavery in the territory" to
which we invite the attention of our reads
ers. His remarks tend in the right di-
rection. They are sensible and sound.
and if liable TO any objection at all, it is
because they don't fully "faco the music"
1t is n cardinal doctrine of the Democratic
party that the territories are the common
property of the nation, open alike to set
tlement by northern and southern men,
How absurd it is to invite southern men
into our territories, with their property,
under the broad panoply Of the federal
Constitution, and then turn to them and
say, the "squatters" may destroy that
property. 1t is the opinion of the Su,
preme Court that only when the squat
ters" come to form a State Constitution
may they abolish slavery. This is alike
in accordance with the true principles of
law aud justice. jefferson Davis spoke
truly and wisely when he said we must
advance The Abolitionists have many
tears unshed rs yet, and they must pre-
pare to shed them. But, in this article,
we only designed to call the attention of
our readers to the remarks of Mr. Bigler,
which evolve many practical thoughts
worthy of reflection and consideration,
