From Washington.

/
WASHINGTON, April 25.-The Constitution
deprecales the defence OF the president by the
Herald, to prejudice the cabinet. 1t declares
the latter unit and impcaches the character
of the friendship Of Mr.. Bennett for the presl-
dent.
As the first legislative step on the subject,
which has been privately discussed during the
past six months, Mr.. Morris of Illinois will
urge the passage of a joint resolution appoint
ing Mr.. Orr of South Carolina, Gen. Doniphan
of Missouri, and Gov Wood of Illinois, com.
missioners TO negotiate with the Morlnons, for
the sale of their possessions, on the express
condition that they remove within a reasOna-
BILE time from the jurisdiction of the United
States. The commissioners are to make re-
port to the president by the next session of
congress. The ground for this movement is to
prevent the recurrence of war and bloodshcd,
as the history of the Mormons in Missouri and
Illinois shows that they cannot, owing to their
peculiarties, live on terms Of peace and good
neighborhood with contiguous settlements 1t
is also treated as Il question of economy to the
treasury.
Mr.. Burlingame, from the committee on for
eign affairs, will report bill in accordance
with his resolution providing for first class

The committee on platform met Monday
night. Mr.. Preston of South Carolina was
elected chairman The committee had dis
cussion of more than an hour on an appeal on
a point OF order, which was settled by the
withdrawal of the appeal. Ben Butler OF
Massachusetts opened the ball by moving the
adoption of the following resolution;
Resolved, That the committee recommend
the convention to reaiiirn the CINCINNATI plat
form. without alteration or amendment.
In reply to Mr.. Barksdale OF Mississippi
and others, Mr.. Butler made stunning speech,
reviewing the past policy of the democracy,
north and south, and defending the north with
great vig0r. Mr. Cavanaugh OF Minnesota
followed in Il like strain OF remark, and de-
clared with great earnestness that the north
west would never submit to even the altera-
ton of q comma in the resolutions OF 1906.
On test vote, the resolution was rejected by
a purely sectional vote-l6 free states voting
in the affirmative, and the l5 slave states, with
California and Oregon, in the negative. Mr..
Stevens then moved to incorporate with it the
principle of the bred Scott decision, which is
still pending. 1t is believed that it will be
adopted tomorrow, and be reported to the
convention as a basis of settlement

Stimulants.

The Louisville Joernai beautifully
says: There are times when the pulse
:" lies low - in the bosom. and beats slow
in the veins when the spirit sleeps the
sleep, apparently, that knows no waking,
in its house of clay, and the window
shutters are closed, and The door is hung
with the invisible Grape Of melancholy /;
when We wish the golden sunshine pilchy
blackness, and are very willing to "fan-
cy clouds where no clouds be. +" This
is state of sickness when physic may
be thrown to the dogs, for we will have
none of it. What shall raise the sleeping
Lazarus =? What shall make the heart
beat music again, and the pulses dance
to il through all the myriad lhronged
halls in our house of life What shall
make the sun kiss the Eastern hills again
for us with all his old awaking gladness,
and the night overflow with moonlight,
music, love and flowers Love itself is
the greatest stimulant-thc most intoxl
eating of all--and performs all these mir
acles but it is a miracle itself, and is
not nj the drug store, whatever they say
The counterfeit is in the market. but the
winged god is not a money changer, we
assure you. Men have tried many things
but still they ask for stimulants. The
stimulants we use, but require the use of
more. Men try to drown the floating
dead Of their own souls In the winecup,
but the corpses will rise We see their
faces in the bubbles. The intoxication
of drink sets the world whirlng again,
and the pulses playing widest music,
and the thoughts galloping-b but tie fast
clock runs down sooner. and the unnat.
ural stimulation only leaves the house it
fills with widest revelry, more silent,
more sad, more deserted. more dead
There is only one stimulant that never
fails, and yet never notwithstanding.
Duty puts blue sky over every man
up in his heart may be-in which the
skylark Happiness always goes, sing
ing.

A Question to Judge Douglas lnans
swered.
Correspondence of the n. Y. Tribune.
AUGUSTA, MAINE, Aug. Is, lebO.
As Judge Douglas, when he was here
on Thursday last, declared with strong
emphasis that he was a National candi-
date for the Presidency, he lad no opin-
ions to conceal, none but he was witltng
to aooac in any part of the Union, very
respectable citizen Of this place who was
invited to seat on the stand with him,
put into his hands the following ques-
ton, which he was most respectfully re-
quested to answer in the course of his
remarks. The Judge on receiving it Git
was before he rose to speak read it very
attentvely, and, resuming his converse
ton with the gentleman who offered it.
respectfully acquiesced in the proprety
of the question, and promised TO reply to
1t in the course of his speech
"Will Judge Douglas be so kind as to oblige
fellow citizen 10y stating before the people
here assembled his ANSWER to the following
QUESTION
Do you hold and if elected President of the
United States, would you carry out. the doct
rine that the people ola Territory, before be
comes a State, have the power, under the FEEDER
al Constitution, and notwithstanding the bred
Scott decision, 10 prohibit erciade Slavery

@ In other words
DO you affirm that the people of Territory
have the Constitutional right to crush the cock
atricc's eggs, as soon as these are deposited in It's
nest by the propagandsts of Slavery, or must
they tolerate the Incubation, and icdH till the eggs
become fill qrocn and actire ripers, that can be
pursued and extermnated only 10y the newly
created sword of State authority
With this question before him, which
he promised to answer, the Judge arose
and addressed the people for an hour and
half; but for some cause or other
you can Judge as well AS The not only
did NOT answer the QUESTION, but very
carefully ovoided all aiiusion to it! |
merely give you the fact, with no com
ment of my own, preferring that you
will bestow such reflections upon it as
candor and fidelity to truth require.
But 1t seems to me tie public should
know uhot questions Judge Douglas re-
fuses to answer, and conjecture as best
they may, the reason ~hy he chooses to
" conceal his opinions " on that most
interesting point.

time. Buta lettering old woman, who
had hurried from her cottage at hearing
the news, came up, and she knew again
the face which through all these years
she had never forgot. The poor miner
