1 SPEECH BY A DOUGLAS MAN.

Mr.. GAULDEN, of Ga.-Mr. President
and Gentlemen Of the Convention: l
come here from the State of Georgia, in
dorsed by that State Convention and by
the Convention at Charleston. This
ought surely to give me right to be
heard before you, and though have not

gia either to the House of York or to the
House of ancaster, l feel that l have a
right here to speak to the great Demo
cratic party of the United States. have
been panied, as a citizen of these United
States, to see the elements of disruption
and disorganization which seem to pre-
vail in the midst of this most intslli gent
assembly. I have felt that the expert
ment Of the capability of man for self
government was about to prove failure
here, and that the genius of Liberty was
about shrieking to leave the world. But
trust that this may be the darkest hour
Just before the day; and that from these
elements of discord, the representatives
of the intelligent American people here
assembled may be able to devise plan
upon which the great Democratic party
of the United States may be united, and
that we may yet add another victory to
the many We have already achieved.

"A number of papers, Democratic in
politics, but which have heretofore been
considered otherwise respectable, have
given circulation to the following I'm
truth
The Springfield Republican which
has probably more influence in the party
than any other paper in New England,
says: Republicanism is so dead that,
as party, we really lack the stimulus to
healthy excitement
This these papers make the text for
sneering comments upon an alleged want
of enthusiasm in the Republican party.
What The Springfield Republican did
say and will frequently hereafter have &C.
casion to say, is this:
/" The Democratic party IS so dead
here, and everything but Republicanism
is so dead, that, as a party, we really lack
the stimulus to healthy excitement. ="

pitiful garblng as this certainly deserved

Our school.
For the Upton Advertiser. !

Have the citizens Of Upton any jus
conviction Of the real value Of our Pub
lie SCHOOL, Every good school, publ
or private, is what it is, chiefly, through
the skill and labor Of its teachers. Tha
ours has reached so high q position, un
der so many disadvantages, with so man!
Indifferent, and so many hostile to it
must be attributed, in high degree, Il
the indefatigable labors Of the Principa
and his Associates. By no means per
feet, in all its details, far enough from
suiting all its patrons, Of course; it has
nevertheless, accomplished work, and
attained position, in this community,
the real Importance Of which, l fear, but
few of US rightly estimate.
1t costs something; but so do railroads,
and horses, aid reapers, and Thousand
other things Are they corth what they
cost J.? is the only question. Who earns
his money more faithfully than our
teachers? EARLY and late, assidiously
they toll. Not only on the days, aud
during the hours, required by law, and
by compact; but on other days, aud
when their patrons are asleep. Two days,
at least, after the late term expired, they
we're hard at work, making out reports,
aud finishing up the work Of the term.
The writer has occasionally visited the
school; was present several times, dur
ing the last week Of the term. He has
visited other schools, in diverse places
and has no hesitation in saying that
the Upton Union School is one Of the
best he has ever seen.
1t is greatly to be desired that this
most valuable and attractive object of our
town may soon find its merited place in
the esteem and cooperation of at least all
the parents and citizens of Upton School

- Poor DOuylaS."

Stephen A. Douglas of Illinois, has,
for tho last eight or ten years had a
strong desire to occupy the white
house in Washington. The first step
towards the accomplishment of his object
was, as he thought, to secure the nomi-
nation Of the Democratic party. For
that purpose he has for months been at
work by honest means and by trickery,
to secure the delegates from the several
States. He succeeded in most of the
free States and secured delegates who
were for Douglas and who would have no
other man. With them it was Douglas
or nobody. Well, they have secured a
kind of a nomination for their pet. He
is candidate for the Presidency but
without any hope of an election. He
has betrayed the North to secure the
favor of the South, and now the South
spurn and despise the traitor While
they could use him, they petted him, but
when be had by yielding to them, lost
his power at the North, they cast him off
as an uncean thing. We sincerely hope
that the unfair treatment which Douglas
has received will show Northern men
that ifshey wish to be respected and hon.
ored at home or abroad, they should pur-
sue an honorable course towards all.

being held all over the country. All the
Democratic enthusiasm is tor them. and

Gov. Marcy's View Of Senator Douglas
Chances.

A capital story is told of Gov. Marcy
in connection with Senator Douglas ear
nest pursuit of the Presidency. Four
years ago, when Mr.. Marcy was Secreta-
~ of State, he invited all the Presiden-
tial aspirants to dinner, and made the
table roar with review of the chances
Of each. Omitting Mr. Douglas to the
last, and delaying him at that, the latter
drew the waiting fire with the query
"Well, Governor, what do you think of
my chances ?" 81 beg your pardon,
Mr.. Douglas, for the seemingly but GER
tainly unintentional neglect" said the
Governor, "and | shall be obliged to tell
story to illustrate your chances. When
| was boy in my native town in Massa-
chusetts, standing one day by the road
side, talking with neighbor, a horse
man, riding at the top of his speed, his
steed frothing at the mouth, and with
tanks bloody from the rowel, suddenly
stopped in the road before US, and hur-
ried4y inquired the distance to the next
town. Ten miles, said my companion
