STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS.

Perhaps no man, now upon the political
arena, is looked upon with more Of watchful-
ness by the whole country, than Stephen A.
Douglas. The possibility of his being the
nominee of the Charleston Convention, as
candidate for the Presidency, in opposition to
the nominee of those who are opposed to the
principles and policy Of the present Admins
tration, and the fact that the delegates from
several Of the States are already instructed to
vote for him in that Convention; the varied
positions that he has heretofore taken upon
subjects affecting the interests Of the whole
country and the uncertainty as to which
horn Of the dilemma he will seize upon in the
present emergency all tend to turn public at
tention to him. Every move that he makes
upon the political chess board, and every ex-
position of matters pertaining to national af-
fairs, will be caught up by his friends, and
made to tell in his favor for the accomplish
ment Of their one great purpose-that of put
ting him in possession Of the immense patron
age OF the Presidency. At the North, he
will be made to stand upon the record as
man of wonderfully patriotic and national
views, and his favorite hobby Of popular
Sovereignty will be hawked about in contra
distinction with the irrepressible conflict
doctrine, which they attribute to Senator
Seward and the changes which will be rung
upon these two issues, will fill the ears of the
nation from Maine to Texas.
Under these circumstances, we cannot do
our readers a better service than by publish
ing the eloquent speech of Carl schur2, of
Wisconsin, delivered in Springfield, Mass,
on the 4th Of January. His arguments upon
the slavery question and the popular sover-
eighty doctrine, aad his exposition Of the in
constituencies Of Mr.. Douglas, are the best we
have yet seen. Original, logical, and keenly
sarcastic, it is the best political reading we
have met with in long time. 1t is brim-
full Of ideas and arguments for the Presiden-
tial campaign, and furnishes textbook that
it would be well for every politician to pre-
serve. The speech will be found on the first
page.

AN INCIDENT REVIVED.

A cruel threat of the Chicago journal, that
if Mr.. Congressman Logan does not behave
himself better, Henry W. Blodgett, of Wau-
kegan, will be sent to Washington to regulate
the member from the TX recalls an incident
which occurred in our Legislature some years
ago.
A bill to repeal Black Laws was pending.
Blodgett had made speech in favor Of the
bill, to which Logan made reply. Logan was
then an unmarried man and much of gal
liant at the capitol. He has a very dark skin
for a white man. The galleries were crowd
ed with ladies' Logan rose, advanced from
his seat to position commanding a view of
the galleries, and pompously began his speech
about thus:
Before proceeding to consider this bill
upon the merits, ! wish to ask the honorable
member from Lake few ques;ions-and in
the first place if he is in favor of the mixture
Of the races by marrage:"
Mr. Blodgett, (appearing half asleep
docs the honorable member desire me to
answer =
Mr.. Logan, (vociiorously,) Il do not only
desire, but | demand an explicit answer"
Mr.. Blodgett, awake but quietly AS to
the matter Of intormarriage of the two races,
am tatheI laNolaole 70 leaNlhs that pretty
much to the parties themselves, as it is in my
view mostly matter of taste, If the honora-
BILE member should be able to secure the af-
fections of any respectable white girl, l should
be sorry il we had any statute to prevent him
from marrying her,
The House, lobbes and galleries roared
and roared again with burst after burst OF
laughter. Poor Logan put no more questions
to Blodgett, and his speech soon ended, q
misernble failnre. - Wankeaan Gnsen

DoUGIAs AoAIN.-By reference to the
Congressional proceedings in another column.
it will be seen that Mr.. Douglas has made
another move upon the Congressional chess
board-or rather, has jumped on to it him
self en- masse. Having secured the delega-
,i...- g. Cl.aflostou nom two or three OF the
Northwestern States, and being hopeful Of
carrying the Eastern States, he now seeks to
throw cotton in the eyes of the South to such
an extent that they will forget that he is a
Northern man, OF has ever held sentiments in
common with the North, while he designs
that his mistifcatons shall be so complete as
to prove a trap to catch the Middle States,
and thereay give him a successful run over
the Charleston race-course. The reply Of
Senator Fessenden, also, will be read with
interest.

We have had another week Of proftless
talk for the most psrt--of personal explana-

successful resistance by the minority There
have been days of great disorder and high
excitement; and these have occurred just

RAILROAD AccIDENT,-The express train
of the Shore Line, which left New York at
- O'Clock Saturday noon for Boston, when
about ten miles from New Haven, met with
an accident. The driving wheel of the en-
CINE broke, tearing off the trucks from the
tender, and throwing the baggage car, with
two persons in it, down an embankment. The
first passenger car, containing the through
passengers, was thrown from the track, and
headed down the embankment. but fortunate
ly it did not go down. Every seat in the first
passenger car was broken. but strange to saw.
not one of the dlty-six persons who occupied
tho car was injured in the least. Neither
were the occupants of the baggage car, whc
turned at least two somersets in going down
the embankment, injured at all, and the ONLY
person on the train who was injured in an,
way, was man who had a small piece ofskil
torn from the back Of his hand.

THE FINALE OF THE "LEDGER" STORY
The Vergennes Citizen has taken the trouble
land expense too, we suppose, to procure the
remaining chapters of "Wolfgang," and re-
lieves the anxiety of one of its readers as
follows
"a constant reader" Of the Citizen is in
terrible state Of anxiety about the poor fell
low that was left in the ''rat hole by the
Ledger man, in the closing paragraph of
"Wofgang," as published in this paper on
the 9th inst. The perfect sang froid with
which the interrogatory was put struck such
a responsive chord in our humor that we have
taken the trouble to inquire of Mr. Bonner
what really did become of the unfortunate
Mr.. Maurice Lester after calling for his "deer
Carrie three times as loud as be could "hol-
Ter, and Mr.. Bonner says that he remained
standing on one foot in that rat hole fourteen
weeks, when one day as Carrie" was hang
ing out some clothes, she dropped one of the
patent fasteners for clothes lines, which she
had just paid four cents for at the corner gro
Gerry, and in reaching down for it she caught
hold of Mr.. Testers hair and pulled him out
body and bricbes" just in time to take the
Catherine Market stage He and Carrie now
keep fish stall in that classic locality.

THE INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE.

IL IN 10 lGAl lNG OOMMlI lee.
Richard Realf, who was John Browns Sccre-
tarv of S,..-, under che provisional govern
ment attempted to be established by his raid
into Virginia, has been before the Senate In
yestigating Committee OF Washington The
correspondent Of the New York Herald, says :
lie testified that Senator Wilson wrote a
letter to Dr. Howe in 1857 or 1858, stating
that he learned from Mr.. Forbes that Brown
was about to make Il raid into sumo of the
Southern States for the purpose Of lberating
slaves, and that he would use money furnish
ed him by parties in Massachusetts for his
Kansas work to aid him in his new project,
and that in his (Wilson's) opinion it was mad
ness in Brown to attempt such thing, and
that he Howe must withdraw all means fur
nished him or intended to be furnished him
for services in Kansas if they were to be mis-
applied in the manner indicated by Forbes.
Realf testified that Howe sent "a copy OF
Wilson's letter to Brown, informing the latter
that the arms and money which had been fur.
nshed him for the protection of the settler,
of Kansas, would be withdrawn, in conse
quence of the revelations made by Forbes
through Wilson that Brown became enrageC
and abandoned his plan for awhile; but som,
time subsequently pursued some pro-slavery
men into Missouri, and carried back with hin
several slaves.
Senator Wilson was notified to-day by Sen
ator Mason. that Realf had alluded to him il

there were about one hundred and twenty
five couples present; among whom were quite

from Burlington, St. Adams, Rutland. and
southern parts Of the State. Those who were
present from this place, pronounce it "the

4 possible Case for He Supreme Court.
The Legislature Of the territoryof Nebras-
ka, in the exercise Of the power given by the
Kansas cbraska act Of Congress, has passed
a bill prohibiting Slavery in that territory
which bill Mr. Buchanans Governor has We
toed. The veto is based upon the ground
that when the Kansas Nebraska bill provided
that " the people of Nebraska might regu-
late their own institutions in their own way,
it did not mean that the Territorial Iegisla-
ture lthe representatives of the people, may
do it, but that " the people themselves may
do it, rhen they form a State Constitution
and that, in the meantime, the people from
the Southern States may bring their slaves
into Nebraska and hold them there. Now if
the Legislature shall pass the bill over this
veto. we shall have the very case for the SUI
preme Court that is contemplated by the new
Douglas platform. Has this been purposely
arranged Wait and see
