An English Reviewer on Douglas.

Sheahan's Life of Douglas has been re-
published in England, by the well known
firm of Samson Low & Son, Of London In

the kind-of June 80, is very long artic.s.
criticising, in way not in the least uncoa-.
plimentary, Mr.. Sheahans book. The Re-
vieW says:
Mr.. Douglas impresses US, through all
the speeches recorded in this volume, as. be-
ing a very honest man. Like all people
who stick infexibly to strong opinions, and
who have great dexterity in argument he
seems sometimes to fence with his. subjects
rather than 60 really into it; but in the
main he inspires belief that he is not to be
deferred or dissuaded by any personal con-
siderations or wish for party success from
saying and doing what be thinks right.
He has proved this by the strong oppo-
sition he has offered to the President in the
we'll known Lecompton controversy, which
has split up the Democratic party. MIR.
Douglas had every thing to lose by creating
disruption in the party to, which he has
belonged ali his life, and which admires him
so much. But as be thought the President
wrong in forcing constitution on Terri
tory against it's wish, heRas quite as stroDgin
opposing Mr.. Buchanan as be ever had been
in opposing Republican. In private life, al
so, be has shown his honesty by refusing a
very valuable slave plantation offered him
by bis father-in-law... He refused it on the
ground that, although he did not disapprove
Of slavery, yet be bad always lived in the
North, and his training and habits rendered
it unlikely that be should know how to treat
bis slaves in the way in which they ought to
be treated We have therefore, the satis>
faction, while reading this volume, of re-
specting its hero. X

The Presidential Vote in 1856.

In 1856, the vote in the free states was,
Fremont, 1888 ,306 Buchanan !, PIP COL;
Fillmore, 1871 ,3O8-that is, Fremont over
Buchanan, 120,705, and Fremont and Fill
more over Buchanan, 5O8,548. Yet Free
mont received, notwithstanding, only ia
electoral votes, Buchanan getting four
states by small pluralities, which gave him
81 electoral votes, which secured his cleo
ton. In the slave states the vote was,
Fremont, l,247 Buchanan, 63e,359, and
Fillmore, 498,ll7. This of course gave
Buchanan all the slave state electoral votes,
except those of Maryland, which were for
Fillmore. In the four free states which
voted for Buchanan, New Jersey, Pennsyl-
vania, Indiana and Illinois, the Fillmore
vote added to that of Fremont would have
beaten Buchanan 32,597 votes. The re-
