II"Old Bullion once said, Doug las
can never be President, Sir! His coat tail
is too near the ground, Sir! too near the
ground, Sirl'
But the best thing ever said on Douglas
was by Sam Houston. About the days OF
the Kansas Nebraska bill. an old Tennessee
friend of Sans met him at Washington, and
in the course of conversation on the great
men of the country, the name Of Doug rs
was mentioned
"Ah! poor Douglas" said Houston. "he
has been sot back"
His flend not understanding the remark.
the Texas Senator proceeded to illustrate it
by an old acquaintance of theirs.
..The old gentleman made it rule that the
children should dine at side table until they
were sixteen years old. at which age tn, Y
were permitted to eat with the older mem
bers Of the family. On one occasion q visi-
one of the BOYS, whom he thought was Of
the requisite age, eating at the side table.
and asked him If he was not l6 years old
Yes said the bov, L was sixteen some time
ago. and the old let me come to his Ia
ble: but there was dish for dinner that
was very fond of, and instead of waiting TO
bs helped, l undertook TO help myself, and
reached too far. and met with an accident.
and he sot me back two years
Probably Mr.. Douglas supposes that his
probation is over, hut it would not be surpri-
sing if he meets with another accident before
the meeting OF the Charleston Convention.

there one year. during which time he distin-

4 Friend tn Need TO Old Brown.

lady referred 10 by the Herald's Richmond
correspondent, in tie following passage. da-
ted October 18Th
a letter was received from Boston lady,
asking the Governors permission TO go TO
Char estown to nurse old Brow and pledging
her honor. while she was a strong abolition
ist, that she wonld take no improper advan-
tage of the privilege. The letter contained
a note addressed 10 Brown himself, which
she requested the Governor 10 forward to
him alter he had read H. Both were un-

The means resorted 10 by Brown TO accom-
plish the ends soug ht for. One thing was
apparent from these productions, and that
was she was truly sincere IN her opinlons:
and the Governor could not help expressing
regret that accomplished a person should
suffer under such an illusion as seemed to
have possessed her. He will grant her per-
mission, and guaranty her perfect immunity
from any violence or indignity in the State.

his physician at Charlestown, and he may

THE MEXICAN TREATY.

The w ashington correspondent of the Jour
hdI OF commerce says 1t is believed that Mr.
MoLane will be able to make treaty with
the Jura"Z Government very soon after his
arrival at Vera Cruz, which viii be about the
2Uth inst. Senor LeIdo will arrive there a
day or two before, and his influence, it is
anown, will be exerted in favor of treaty.
Mr.. MCLane viii not probably enter into any
treaty which will not be acceptable to this
government and have fair chance of ratifi-
cation by the Senate. The Senate will not
be disposed to ratify treaty which the Jua-
rez Government cannot carry into effect nor
to make large draft on the Treasury with
out corresponding benefit to this country,
In facilities for commerce and security of
the Interests of American citizens in Mex
co.
Whether the Juarez Government will ever
be able to carry any treaty into effect, is
matter of more than serious doubt Mexico
Is country divided against ITSELF Mramon
holds the capital, and the larger portion of
the territory. Juarez holds Vera Cruz and
portion of the adjacent territory 1t will
depend entirely upon the issue of the coming
campaign IN Mexico whether the Juarez
Government or that of Miramon is to be the
government. 1t strikes Us that this treating
with darez Is somewhat hasty lon the part
OF the Administration. for if Juarcz is com
pefed to succumb to his opponent. all Mr.
Mctane's work will go for nothing. Where
civil war exists it can scarcely be regarded
as good policy for our government to recog
nze either faction, unless so be it is made to
appear that Juarez is right. and Miramon
wrong--a question in the complicated nature
of Mexican politics it would be somewhat diff
ficult to settle.

Old John BrooCn.--His mission to Kansas
w bile we persume it is not tn intention
of the Republican press to defend old John
brown, or vindicate his conduct at Harper's
Ferry, yet we regret to know that they have
done so in the past in regard to crimes inf
nitely more damnabie than the Harper's Fer
ry tragedy, and now they have tie wicked
ness to say ''that his mission to Kansas was
a peaceable one," and that sit was the vio-
lcnce committed upon his family and home,
which made him the demon he is
Ia our article of last week we stated that
Old Brown came to Kansas late in the sum-
mer, or In the fall of 1855 that he came
armed, and in peculiar manner that those
arms were furnished him in the State Of New
York; and their supply was made on the con.
ditlon of his coming here; that he showed
blood thirstiness peculiarly his own during
the Wakurusa war, in December of that wear:
and that nowhere in his whole Kansas histo-
ry do we find a particle of evidence that he
desired to cultivate the principles of peace.
1t is urged that he came here peace man

self or the Union if she allowed such a wretch
to go unpunished.
DO the men who call old John Brown a
hero approve of his foray on Harper's Ferry?
Do they think be was right in lighting tie
torch of civil war III the land, and in endeay-
oring to procure the murder of the white in
habltarts of the Southern States? Do thew
think he was justifable in numbering his fel-
low citizens at Harper's Ferry? If they do
not, then they should not sympathize with
him or contend that he should not be put to
death. traitor and mur urderer is unworthy
OF the name of hero. We think it is impos
slble for man to loath and despise the trea-
son while he loves the traitor.
