Douglas on his Knees to the
South.

Douglas made another high bid for
Southern favor on Monday, in speech
upon his resolutions to prevent conspira-
cies in one State to invade the rights of
another. The correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Gazette, in noticeing this degra-
ding exhibition of the mcanest and basest
Of all Northern doughfaces says, "thc dog
goeth back to his vomit, and the sow to
her wallowing." douglas has done both
He stood up before vast concoursc Of
people who had assembled to listen to
him. Every available inch Of room was
occupied, expecting him to rcpcl the as-
saults made upon him by the Democrats.
But no He stood there for two mortal
hours and ate dirt for the amusement Ct
his Southern masters. Perhaps in this
way he may win the Charleston nomina-
ton, but those who listened to him were
sorely disappointed, and he uttered not
single new idea. It was stump speech,
aud was promptly, ably and quickly ans
wered by Mr.. Fesscnden, Of Maine
Douglas has now done what has all along
been expected Of him-thrown himself
hcadlong into the embraces Of the disun
ion, negro breeding traitors. There let
him slumber!

A Remarkable Adventure

Once tpotf time traveller stepped
into stagecoach. He was young
man starting in life. He found six pas
sengers about him, all gray-headed and
extremely aged men. The youngest ap.
pcarcd to have seer at least eighty win
ters. Our young passenger, struck with
the singularly mild and happy aspect
which distinguished all his fellow-passen-
gers, determined to ascertain the secret of
long life and art of making old age COM
Portable. Hc addressed the one appar-
emily the Oldest, who told him that he
had always led regular and abstemious
life, eating vegetables and drinking water.
The young man was rather daunted at this,
inasmuch as he loved the good things Of
life. He addressed the second, who as
tonished him by saying that he always eat
roast beef, and went to bed regularly fud-
died fer the last seventy years, adding,
that all depends on regularity. The third
had prolonged his life by never seeking or
accepting office the fourth by resolutely
abstaining from all political and religious
controversies ; and the fifth by going to
bed at sunset and rising at dawn. The
six was apparently much younger than the
other fivc-his hair was less gray, and
there was more Of it-a placid smile, de-
noting perfectly easy conscience, mantled
his face, and his voice was jocund and
strong. They were all surprised to learn
that he was by ten years the eldest man in
the coach. -.
"How,' exclaimed the young traveller,
Chow is it you have thus preserved the
freshness Of your life ?'
The old gentleman Immediately answer
ed the youn & traveller by saying
81 have have drank water and drank
wine; have eaten meat and vegetables
l have dabbled in politics, and written re-
ligious pamphlets I have sometimes gone
to bed at midnight, and got up at sunrise
Or noon;' he then, fixing his eye intense

singular remark-"lutI I alscays pail tic

All Incident Revived.

A cruel threat of the Chieago Journal
that IF Mr.. Congressman Logan does not
behave himself better, Henry W. Blodgett,
Of Waukesan will be sent to Washington
to regulate the members from the IXth.
recalls an incident which occurred in euf
Legislature some years ago.
A bill to repeal the Black Laws was PEN
ding. Blod gett had made a speech in ia
voc of the bill, to which Logan made reply.
Logan was then an unmarried man, and
much Of a gallant at the capital, lie has
very dark skin for white man. The
galleries were crowded with ladies. Lo-
gan rose, advanced from his scat to no.
sltion commanding view of the galleries,
and pompous!y began his speech about
thus:
"Before proceeding to consider this bill
upon the merits, I wish to ask the honora-
bic member from Lake few questions
and in the first place ask ifhe is in favor
OF the mixture Of the two races by mar
riage'
Mr.: B1odgett, (appeariny half aslccr)
"Does the honorable gentleman desire me
to answer? ?"
MIR: Logan, (vociferously,) II do rot
only desire, but demand an explicit an
Nh. Blodgett, (awake but quietly.) "As
to the matter OF internarriage of the two
races, | am rather favorable to leaving that
pretty much to the parties themselves, as
it is in my view mostly a matter of taste.
If the honorable member should be able
to secure the affections Of any respectable
white girl, l should be sorry if we had any
statute to prevent him from marrying her"
The House, lobbies and galleries roarcd
and roarcd again with burst after burst Of
laughter: Poor Logan put no more ques-
tons to Blodgett, and his speech soon end
cd, a miserable failure WauAcgan G1-
