Mr.. Dejarnette made the opening speech,

by him that he vas appearing for the first
time in his life in a public debate. No low or
ignoble appeals to tickle the popular ear es-
capped his lips, but fearless independence and a
patriotic fervor marked his whole speech. I
was particularly pleased with his noble gallan
try, when he frankly stated he was not there to
arraign Judge CaSkle, or TO make personal is
sues with one, even If they existed, whose
qualities both Of head and heart he so highly
appreciated. But, in a spirit Of generous ri.
valry, he was there to represent the county

After the close Of Mr.. Dejarnettc's speech,
Judge Caskie took the stand, and. after refer

yourself, mischief to you, and no benefit to
others He that splits against the wind

clear perception of the advantages of vir-
tue, and the disadvantages Of vice, and

to enable you to resist common temptations.
But think now great portion of mankind
consist Of weak and ignorant men L women,
and Of inexperienced, inconsiderate youth,
of both sexes, who have need of the mo-
tiveS of religion to restrain them in the
practice Of it till it becomes habitual, which
is the great point for its security. And
perhaps you are indebted to her originally,
that is to your religious education, for the
habits of virtue upon which you now just
ly value yourself. You might easily display
your excellent talents of reasoning upon

Enchanting the tiger, but to burn this piece
before it is seen by any other person,
whereby you will save yourself a great deal
of modification from the enemies it may

FRANKLIN AND PAINE. - When Paine was
writing his famous attacks on the Christian re-
ligiou, he submitted part of his manuscript TO
DR. Franklin for ais inspection and OPINION
The following is the answer of that great phi
losopher and patriot
Dear Sir-I have read your manuscript
with some attention. BY the argument 1t
contains against particular Providence
though you allow general Providence you
strike at the foundation of all religion. For
without the belief of Providence that
takes cogniEance of, guards, aud guides,
aud favors particular persons, there is no
motive to worship Deity, TO fear It's dis.
pleasure, or to pray for its protection.
will not enter into any discussion of your
principles, though you seem to desire it,
At present shall only give you my opin'
ion, that, though your reasonings are sub,
tie, and may prevail with some readers, you
will not succeed 50 as to change the geucr'

What strange nation ours is ! We
have the raw material for most of the
goods we wear. We have the streams to
furnish the water power-stone for the mills
-hunds to labor in them who will be glad
of employment-skill to manage them and
genius to invent all the necessary improve
mentS-and yet we send abroad for all our
woolen and cotton goods and run in debt
for them every year.
We have iron enough nnder our soil to
last the world a thousand years, with coal
enough to melt it.
We have built furnaces and forges and
foundries. We have hands to work them
aud skill TO manage them and ingenuity to
supply them with models, aud yet send a.
broad for our iron aud thus give the profits
of the labor to foreign wOrkmen.
We have more lead than we can use, and
masses of native copper within our borders
unrivaled in the world, and yet we import
our lead and our copper and permit ours
to remain untouched.
Why is there so much folly in the ma
ton
Simply because such is the policy and
such has been the decree Of the Southern
Democratic party.
Some of Democratic papers enumerate
the benefits the nation has derived from the
Democratic party. Among these benefits,
let them mention the fact that the policy
of that party has been to make US depen-
dent on foreign countries for the supply Of
articles that we could better make ourselves.
It's policy is ond has been to sacrifice
Northern TO Southern industrial interests.

Englishman, the other day, coming mp with
great wrath to a Yankee a Yankee, in
England, lmeans any wide awake ma

on the sidewalk you are a scoundrcl =
That's news to me- returned the Yankee
quickly.

You needn't think to parry il of so easy;

it =

No. dare say you. wouldn't, but an,

not say in the presence of several ladies Of
my acquaintance, that was "a
Calf ? o, no. sir, the truth is not to be
spoken at all times
The truth do you mean to call me a

%, no, sir, call you nothing
It's we'll you don't for had you pre-
sumed to call me a.
Man, should have been grossly mis-
taken
DO you mean to say that I am not

That depends upon circumstances
What circumstances p
IF should be called as evidence in a
court of justice, should be bound to speak
the truth
And wonld say that was not man,

Yes, and have seen it with surprise ever
since you came up
What surprise Why, do you suppose
I was such coward dare not undertake
to use the article when it was demanded p
Shall I tell you what thought p

by-Standers, you hear the insult. What
shall do with the ScOundrel /?

crowd, with shouts of laughter
THAT I'll do at once
Then turning to the Yankee, he cried
ont fiercely >
Come on. step this wav, yOu rascal, and
I'll fog within an inch of your life'
'PVe no OCCASION
You're a coward
Not on your word

Just as you please

fogging him now
%, heavens, grant me patience I'll fly
out of my skim
It'll be much better for your pocket f;
calf skins are in good demand
i shall burst
Gentlemen, can I any longer help fog
ging him p
Thus provoked, thus stirred up and en-.
couraged, the fierce gentleman went like
lightning at the Yankee.
But before he could strike blow, he
found himself disarmed of his COW skin and
lying on his hack under the spout Of a
neighhoring pump, whittier the Yankee had
carried him to cool his rage and before
he could recover from his astOniShment at
such unexpected handling, hN was as wet
as drowned rat from the cataract of water
which his antagonist had literally pumped
upon him.
His courage had, by this time, like that
of valiant Bob Acres, 'oozed out at the
palms of his hands, and he declared, as he
arose and went dripping from the pump
| that he would never trust to appearances
again, and the old Harry himself might nn
dertake to cowhide cool Yankee for al
him.

FLUTTERINa THE CRINoLINEs.--On the
Sixth Avenue Railroad in n Y.city, few
days ago, one of the small one-horse cars
was stopped for the purpose of taking up
an elderly lady and sickly looking little
girl. In the car where twelve females, five
on seat and the seats will carry fourteen.
Every inch of room seemed occupied, for
the occupants of the car were fashionaby
dressed, and their skirts expanded like pea
cocks tails. No one offered the old lady a
seat, or made room for her, OF seemed to
care whether she was tired or rested For
moment the old lady scanned the faces
of those before her, and then she smiled at
the want of courtesy which characterizes fe-
males Of the present age.
L say, you,' exclaimed the old lady,
nudging the knee of the nearest female, aud
pointing to the little girl.
Did you speak TO meP demanded the as
tonished female, on her dignity, immediately
why, yes. want to know if you would
believe this little girl jist come out of the
ship fever hospital p
Twelve hands delcately gloved were rais-
ed toward the bell strap, and twelve voices
were shrilly raised for the car to stop, and
in less than one minute the old lady aud
| little girl had the vehicle TO themselves.
WALL | declare, exclaimed the old LADY,
L forgot to tell them that there warn't any
patients there sick with the fever How
ever, I'll let 'em know it tho next time we
meet. Take seat, dear and make your
self at home.' The conductor was some-
what astoniShed on that trip.
