TwEEDLEDUM AND TwEEDLEDEE.-Thosc who
read the Richmond Enquirer, will sec that Gov
ornor Wise, in his pursuit of the Presidency
under difficulties, is after Judge Douglas with
a sharp stick. Douglas, as everybody knows,
has declared for squatter sovereignty in the ter
ritories and opposes all Congressional action on
any questions of slavery therein, either for the
purpose of protection or Instruction of the sys-
TEN.
Wise agrees with Douglas that there should
be no interference with slavery on the part of
Congress; by which he means opposition or
hindrance; but regards it an imperative duty of
the general government to intervene whenever,
necessary, to protect and defend the system, and
therefore opposes the Douglas doctrine of squat
Ter sovereignty.
How entirely in contrast to these petty
squabbles of petty men are the doctrines Of the
great men of our Revolutionary and Historic
ny should be abolished by legislative authority,
and so far my vote can go for this purpose it
shall never be wanting" We listen to the
words of apprehension by the author of our
immortal Declaration of Human Rights, assert.
ing that he "trembled for his country when
he reflected that God was just, that his justice
could not sleep forever, and that the Almighty
had no attribute that could take sides with
slavery" We sec both these Virginia heroes
and statesmen united in the establishment of
the doctrine of the great ordinance OF 1877,
which excluded the blighting system from all
the territories OF the United States. We see
the Supreme Court, under the leadership of the
venerable Virginia Chief Justice Marshall, con-
stantly confirming and enforcing these doctrines
for half century.
On the other hand, how huniliating to be
compelled to witness the scrambles Of the cor
rupt politicians of the present day, for the spois
of Office. We are now rcaping the fruits of de-
parturc from the principles and practices Of our
Revolutionary Fathers. That distinguished
statesman FiIlard Fillmore, declared that the re-
peal of tho Missouri Compromise would prove
"Pandora's box" of evils to the country; and
his prediction has been signnlly verified. May
we not hope soon to see n union of all good men
in all parts Of the country, demanding the res
toration of the administration of the govern
ment to the principles and practices of Wash.

Supreme Court to the doctrines it held when
that purest and most profound of Virginia Ju-
rists was at its headG We may at least be
permitted to labor for the speedy coming Of

ment, wanting to this end, is the union of pa
triots under the banner Of PEACE, PHoGHEss AND
Projection. When that time comes we shall
not hear, rs in our late CANVASS, the enquiry
which is most sure and certain for slavery, but
which is most faithful aud devoted to the UNION.

TuE Peoria Qll) Union learns that girl
of about nineteen had vertabc trance a
few days ago. The only prcnonitory symp-
tom seems to have been that on the pre-.
vtous morning she "felt like she had not slept
all night, and yet was not conscious of having
been awake" She was in good health and
spirits through the day, retired early, and seem
ed so soundly asleep when her sister came to
bed that the latter could not wake her. In tho
morning she was found apparently dead. In a
few hours preparations were in progress for the
burial of the body. The neighbors were called
in, and all decided that it was best to bury her
at the time suggestcd-no one considering it
necessary to call physician. On the evening
before tho funeral, however, before the coffin
had been brought, while tho younger brother
was looking on the face of his dead sister, he
thought he saw the lips move, and liyid with
fear, communicated his suspicious to his moth
or. She was just entering the front door, and
at the announcement uttered almost agonizng
shrek ofsurprise. This was instantly followed
by one from the chamber where the girl was
laying, and when her mother and friends enter
ed the room she was sitting on tho cooling
board, MS much surprised at the alarm of her
friends as they at her sudden recovery
from what they thought the grave.
