Let Douglas Men keep a stiff upper lip
The New York Tribune has IA word Of good
cheer for them as follows
The Democratic National Convention meets
at Charleston, S. c., and most of the Northern
and many of the Western Delegates have eli
their passed through or are now in our city
Information gathered from various sources
impels the belief that Stephen A. Douglas
will receive a majority of the whole number
of votes on the second, if not on the first bal
lot. That he will have a plurality on the first
and every succeeding ballot till nominated, is
deemed certain. The consummation may be
fought off for days if the minority is determin-
ed, unless the rule requiring a two-thirds vote
to nominate shall be modified but Judge
Douglas best informed friends regard his Ill
innate nomination as beyond contingency.

TIE Rev. DANIEL WoErH.-This gentle
man has been convicted in North Carolina, of
circulating a book written by a native OF that
State-Helper's Crisis-and sentenced to inn
%prisonment for one year. He has many friends
in Ohio aud Indiana, and is said to be an esti-
mable MAI in all the relations of private life,
and a devoted teacher of Christian doctrine
1t is questionable, if the abstracts of the evil
dcnce il his case which ave reached us are
correct, whether he was fairly convicted ofcir-
culating Helpers Book. His crime consists in
his anti7slavery principles. He will bear his
Imprisonment with the spirit of a martyr.

The Southern Opposition members of Con-
gross are said to be exceedingly anxious that
Mr.. Douglas should be taken up at Charleston.
They say that his nomination would not only
give them four or five Slave States for a con
s~ervativc candidate, but that it would give
them liberty to make such terms as they please
with the Republicans, for there is scarcely a
Democratic print in all the Slave States which
has not within the last two years expressed the
opinion that Seward himself was preferable to
Douglas for President.

The Democracy are troubled about their
new acquisition in the u. S. Senate-Wigfall
of Texas. His extravagant speeches have au-
noyed them terribly, and given him an unen-
viable notoriety but a demonstration made
a few days since ,eclipses all his former per-
formances. 1t was nothing less than a direct
and open insult to Lord Lyons, the British
Minister. whom he had the bad taste and i'll
manners to call by name while that gentleman
was present as u spectator in the Senate cham
Der. 1t surprised and mortified all present,
the Democrats as well as the Republicans; and
his Democratic colleagues are said to be medi-

an improvement in his department. We quote
the account of the outrage from the reported
proceedings
MIR. Wigfall spoke in opposition to tie
homestead bill, stating that it was not a demo
cratic measure, but a part of the Republican
platform. Mr.. Pngh inquired in what part of
the Republican platform he found it.
Mr.. Wigfall said it was announced as such
by the embodiment of that party, now sitting
with Lord Lyons, lMr. Seward and the Brit
ish Minister were conversing at this moment
on one of the sofas in the Senate Chamber
Lord Lyons looked up somewhat surprised at
being thus uncerernoniously called by name.
and Mr.. Wigfall spoke of the significance of the
fact that the British Minister and the Senator
from New York were TINS comforting together,
when Lord Lyons rose abruptly and left the
chamber

How DoCGrAs DIGs IS.-Serator Douglas
works for the Presidential nomination just as
a Democratic ward politician does for a con
stab!eship. A Washington letter of the 10th
says delegates en- route for Charleston are con-
tinualIy dropping into this political focus from
the Northern and Western States, and adds;
Douglas has taken the field in person, and can
vases with his accustomed assiduity and ener-
gy. He may be seeH in the Senate Hobbies, in
the hotels, and on the sidewalks, talking ear
nestly with his friends, and by lock, word and
gesture, stimulating them to action. Probably
no other candidate for a Presidential nominal
ton ever played his hand so openly and boldly.
But "by this sign he has conquered" in his pre-
vious struggles, and if he abandoned the policy
now, he would cease to be Stephen A Doug

GREAT FREsHEs IN THE SCIoTo.-On
"Wednesday last the Scioto river in this place
was probably higher than was ever known be-
fore. We have consulted the Oldest inhabi-
tants, and they all agree, with one exception,
that it is the greatest freshet ever known to
any of them. One of the Oldest citizens, how
ever, thinks that the river was higher about
the year 1915. Be this as it may, it was from
FIVE to nine inches higher than it was in the
great freshet of 1847. The river presented a
grand appearance, being about six miles wide
at this place.
Great losses have been sustained by those
who had property within the bounds of the
food. A frame building belonging to Messrs.
Smith, on the opposite side of the river, was
swept away, but VIC learn that nearly every
thing valuable had been taken out. A large
warehouse, attached to the Pickaway Mills.
with some 1000 empty flour barrels in it was
taken from its foundation and carried down
the river. The toll house near the same place,
occupied by James G. Walters, was turned
over, and removed several yards. They got
nothing out but their clothing. Fences and
large quantities of cord wood were borne off
on the bosom of the great deep.-CiroeviHe
