The Cass County Republican. [volume] (Dowagiac, Mich.) 18??-1880, 1859-12-29
Senator Douglas.

The Springfield Republican, speak
ing of the prospects of Douglas for the
Presidency, says: The utter revolution
which has come over Mr.. Douglas
prospects and condition is one of the
completest illustrations of the uncer-
tainties of American life. Nowhere
does wealth pass so quickly, health fail
so sadly, and reputation and popularity
fade so suddenly, as in our fast age and
nation. Two years ago, Mr.. Douglas
was, next to General Cass, the richest
man in public life; now, if not bankrupt,
he is probably not far from it. He has
spent money in politics by the hundred
of thousands; he has lived extrava-
gantly at Chicago and at Washington;
while the fall in prices of Western real
estate has greatly deprecated his capt.
tai, and his speculations have turned out
badly. Two months ago, he seemed to
have more political power and popular
ity than any other American; everybody
was talking about him, and his chances
for the Presidency were hopefully dis
cussed by his friends and reluctantly
conceded by his enemies-but now few
are so poor as to do him reverence as
the coming man. The Southern De-
mocracy have ceased to fear him, and
the Northern to worship him. He has
even seemed himself to abandon the
Charleston Convention to his oppo-
nents. Saddest of all, he who has had
through life the strongest Of constitu-
tons, the most robust of health, is now
laid low by sickness. For some days
his sufferings have been such that none
but iron powers could resist them. His
disease is dangerous and nearly always
fatal-gout in the stomach and he is
not out of danger yet from the present
attack. If he survives, it will proba-
bly, be as changed man physically,
and through the remainder of his life
he must pay the penalty of reckless
disregard of the laws of health hereto
fore. His whole future is likely to be
effected by these circumstances.
Whatever recuperative powers he may
show, he is now in all points but the
wreck of his former self.

The Speal1ership.

The House still remains unorganized
Mr.. Sherman wanting but four votes
of having a majority. The debate or
the Slavery question continues frou
day to day by the Southern members
evidently with determination to pre-
vent, if possible the election of a Re
publican Speaker, and declare that sncf
result would be considered by them
a just cause for dissolving the Union.
Several anti-Lecompton members de
clare themselves willing to support 6
Republican in preference to an Admin
istration candidate. Buchanan demo
Gratis say they are determined to resist
the plurality rule to the bitter end. A
correspondent to theDetroit Adcertise,
writing from Washington, says this
delay may be prolonged for days and
weeks, but in the end Mr.. Sherman
will be elected Speaker, and the Re
pnblicans will have the organization
mainly their own way"

Union-saving Meeting in New York.

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.
At Union meeting, last evening
Mr.. j. w. Savage nominated Lieut.. Gen
Winfield Scott for President, and Gen
Sam. Houston for Vice President. Al
each of the outside meetings the nom
nations were carried amidst the plaud
it's of the multitude. The resolutions
read as follows, therefore be it
Resolved, That the Union thus
formed, constituting, as it does, the
closest, most delicate and important re
lation that can exist between oommu
mites of people, demand from each
part warm and earnest consideration
for the safety, prosperity and happiness
of the other Whatever policy tends
to subvert this end is hostile to the true
spirit of the compact.
Resolved, That the Constitution, the
treaties, the laws of the United States
and the judicial decisions thereupon.
recognize the institution, these treaties
those laws and the decision of that
final arbiter of all disputed points, the
Supreme Court of the United States.
Resoloed, That inasmueh as the pro-
ceedings of the Convention which
framed the Constitution were brought
to stand-as appears by the declara-
tionof Roger Sherman, one Of its most
disting uished authors-until compro-
mise was agreed to on the various pro-
positions relating to domestic slavery,
which compromise embraced a restric-
ton on the power to prevent the i'm
portation of slaves prior to 1908; a
provision binding on each State and
upon the Union, to surrender fugitives
from service; representation in Con
gress, founded in part of three-fifths Of
slave population, and other guaran
tees protection Of slave property that
we protest against and denounce as
contrary to the plighted faith on which
the Constitution was established, all
acts or infammatory appeals which
tend to make the Union less perfect OF
to leopard or disturb its domestic har
mony, compromise and concession
upon which the Union was founded by
our fathers.
mat we regard the recent outrage
at Harper's Ferry, as crime not only
against the State of Virginia, but
against the Union itself, and we APP
prove of the firmness by which The
treason has been duly punished. Tha
in our opinion, the subject of slavery
has been too long mingled with part,
politics, and the result has been the
creation of sectional parties, contrar,
to the advice, letter and spirit of thu
farewell address OF the father of ou
common country. That, therefore, i
is the duty of farmers, planters, manu-
facturers, merchants, mechanics, and o
every citizen North, South, East anc
West, to discountenance all parties ant
organizations that thus violate tn,
spirit of the constitution and the advic,
of Washington.

The Senate Committees.

We publish these committees in an
other column. The North is pro
scribed in a body. Even such an in
grain dough-face as Pugh, was affected
by this last movement of the chivalry
and in a speech of much truth-telling
called attention to the fact that, the
chair of every single Committee that
controls the public business in the Sen
ate is held by Senator from a slave,
holding State, the expulsion of Mr.
Douglas having rendered complete the
prescription of the Representatives Of
Free States.

IS Democracy is the Same Everywhere '


Mr.. CURRY" If the North elect
Seward, or Chase or any other men,
Der of the Republican party, on Sec
tional platform, such an election was
to be the disruption of every tie which
binds together the great Confederacy."
Applause from the Democratic side.)
Mr.. DAVIS" Seward is traitor
and deserves the gallows. Applause
from the Southern side.) Virginia has
hung Brown, and if they get hold Of
Seward they will hang him." Laugh,
ter and applause.)
Mr.. PRYoR.-The Representatives
of the South will never consent that
the creature and champion of the
Republican party, (meaning Sherman,)
shall take possession of the Speakers
chair"
SENATOR IvERsoN.-" He presumed
that Mr.. Sherman would be elected,
for doubtless traitors enough would be
found in the anti-Lecompton Demo
Gratis. But if such should be the case,
he would counsel the Southern men,
bers of Cougres to retire from these
halls, and let the Union be dissolved"
These are the opinions common
amongst Southern Democrats, and we
have never seen word of rebuke, or
even dissent from single Northern or
doughface organ. Day after day the
Southern press, Southern members of
Congress, Southern Governors, and
Southern politicians of every grade,
give utterance to threats such as above,
and the Northern leaders of the slave
Democracy, so far from condemning,
virtually approve their reasonable SEN
timcnts.

CoRTlNAs, THE OUTLAw.-A bill has

thorizing a reward Of $4,000 for the
capture of Cortinas, or any other of

on the Rio Grande
Cortinas has issued proclamation to
the Mexican inhabitants of Texas,
avowing himself the champion and
protesting to be at the head of a secret
society to avenge their wrongs.

Classification of votes for Speaker.

The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
gives the following classification of the
votes in the House for Speaker 1t
will show why, with 1l3 votes, the Re-
publicans have yet given only ITO votes
for their candidate for Speaker, as well
where the members Of the different
parties stand on the question Of Speak
err:
The cote for Speaker.-Of the 113
members of the House classed as Re-
pubicans, 10 voted for Mr.. Sherman
on Friday. The other three were Mr..
Sherman himself, who did not vote, Mr..
DIN, of the Troy On. " district, who
was sick, but is at Washington and
ready in an emergency, and Mr.. Geo.
Briggs, of one of the New York city
districts, who is off filibustering with
the South Americans. Of the 90
Democrats, IS voted for Bocock, Mr..
Pugh, of Alabama, scatters, Dir. Be-
cock throws away his vote, one man is
sick, Brown of Kentucky, is too young
to come in, and one is absent Of the
% South Americans ga with Briggs)
20 voted for Mr.. Gimer, for Mr. Bot
eler, l for Mr.. Etheridge, and l was
absent. The Anti-Lecompton Dem
ocrats voted, for Mr.. Clark, of New
York, for Davis, of Indiana, for
Mr.. Haskin, and l for Mr.. Hickman.
Four of these are ready to 90 for Mr.
Sherman, directly or indirectly, when
ever their votes can elect him. These
are Hasllin and Reynolds, of New Y,
and Hickman and Schwartz, of Penn
sylvania, and their votes, with Olin's
would carry Sherman up to lis, within
one of an election. Horace F. Clark
and Geo. Briggs, both ought to be ca
ger to give this vote, but still refuse it.
The other three Anti-Lecompton men,
Adrain and Riggs of New Jersey, and
Davis, of Indiana, insist on remaining
in an independent or outside position.
But the end cannot be far off,"

WHY Don,t the House Organize ,

The Republican side of the House
from the commencement, has. been in
readiness to adopt any fair arrange
ment for the election Of Speaker.
Within the last twenty years there
have been three instances of long de-
lay In the organization of a House of
Representatives at Washington. In
1889 and 40, towards the close of Mr..
Van Buren's administration, the House
which met early in December did not
succeed in choosing Speaker until
about the first of January. The choice
then fell upon Mr.. r. M. T. Hunter,
now U. S. Senator from Virginia, but
then serving in the House of Repre-
sentatives. Again in 1s49 and 80
there was long delay in organization.
The candidates for Speaker were r.
G. Winthrop, Wing, of Massachusetts,
and Howell Cobb, Democrat, of Geor-
gia, now Secretary of the Treasury.
After.balloting for three weeks it was
found impossible to elect by major
ity, so rule was adopted declaring
that the person who had the highest
number of votes should be elected,
whether it be a majority of the num-
Der cast or not. Under this, Mr.. Cobb
was elected. The House of Represen-
tatives which convened in 1855, did
not succeed in electing a Speaker until
February 1856, a period of eleven or
twelve weeks. Mr.. Banks, Republi-
can, of Massachusetts,, was then elected
under the plurality rule, similar to that
adopted in 1850. He received 1O3
votes to 100 cast for VIM. Aiken, Dem
ocrat, from South Carolina.

A PATRIOTIC SENTIMENT. = The
New York Courier and Enquirer
says "L Let the South first promise
fealty to the Union and the Constitu-

threaten US with their obstruction, if
the South is not permitted to have its
own way, before Northern men are so
cringing as to fall down on their
knees and implore them to save the
Union."

The Yacht Wanderer.

Boston, Dec. 24.-The yacht Wan
derer, of Savannah, Capt. w elton, from
Florence, has arrived here. Welton
reports that she sailed from Savannah
in October, in charge of Capt. Martin
for the coast of Africa for cargo OF
slaves, and that she touched at Flores
and took on board two Portuguese
women. Capt. Martin subsequently
went ashore for provisions, taking with
him the thermometer and charts. In
his absence w elton, the mate, got under
weigh and steered for the cost OF
America. He made for Fire Island
first and put into Tarpaulin Cove for a
pilot. Welton states thathe was carried
off without his will from Savannah, and
that Martin was an assumed name and
that his real name is Lincoln P. Patten,
of Bath, Maine. The yacht Wanderer
is in charge of the q. S. Marshal.
The yacht Wanderer left Savannah
under the following circumstances on
the 18th Of October. Lincoln Patten,
under the assumed name of David
Martin, put fifteen men on board the
Wanderer, then lying below Savannah,
to assist in taking on board provisions
and water. Soon afterwards Patten
came aboard himself, together with
Edward Talbot, the pilot, and Capt. J.
Black, shipping agent. He Immediately
called all hands to get under way, and
drawing revolver, threatened to shoot
any one who refused to work, or at
tempted to interrupt his movements.
He also threatened the shipping agent
and pilot with death if they attempted
to leave the vessel. Some of the crew
who knew of his plans, loaded two
pieces of cannon with grape, and armed
themselves to enforce Patterns orders
against those who had been induced
by false pretenses to come on board.
One half of the crew were carried off
against their will.
The crew of the Wanderer, 10 in
number, have been committed to Jail.
The vessel remains in charge Of the
authorities.
