Douglas Refuses TO Eat at a Republics
an Hotel.

On Thursday of last week, the
train bearing Mr.. Douglas and hil
friends to indianapolis. stopped at
Morris. on the indianapolis e Colum
bus Railroad, tor refre shments. -
Stepping into the Railroad Eating
House, he was about to ?artako O,
the best railroad supper he ever en-
lloyed, when some one mentioned in
hi. hearing that Mr. McQneen, pro-
prietor OF the house, was Repub.
Iican. Forthwith the Little Giant
left the table, and shaking tho dust
from his shoes, went across the way
to a three cont doggery and appeas'
ed his delicate appetite on crackers
and cheese. This is a iact as certi :
fed by our informant, Mr.. SiIas
Baker. the popular conductor on the
sleeping car between Cincinnati and
Chicago, and a brother.in-law OF
Thomas Whittier, a we'll known
Merchant ot Lafayette.
The squatter chiettain was not so
'astidious to-day when he took a
seat in Republican carriage to ride
to the hotel, nor WAS he 80 fearful OF
contami alton from Republican 80
cicty when, at the time of the at.
temped passage OF the Lecompton
Constitution though Congress, he
called on Mr.. tovode, Republican
member Of Congress from Pennsyl.
vania, and requested him to go to
Judge Trumbull, and get him to
agree that he. Mr.. Douglas, should
be returned to the Senate by the
Republicans Of Illinois and in con-
sideration thereof. he would fight
the Republican battles in 1901
Nor was he 30 isstidious when, about
the same time, he WAS counseling
daily with Blair, Burlingame, Col
fox, and Greeley. for the sale, body
and soul, oil the Democratic party in
Illinois, to secure his reelection to
the Senate. The proof Of this charge
can be produced any time Douglas
will unseal the lips of either OF the
above named gentlemen. In view
Of these facts, it lily becomes Mr.
Douglas to turn up his nose at Re
publican victuals, merely because 9

Bancroft W.. Douglas.

I We take the following cxtrac,
from Bancroft's second volume or
che war Of American independence
lie is descsnting on Fundamental
principle Of freedom in Virginia:
Other colonies had framed bills
of rights IN reference to their rela.
tions with Britain; Virginia moved
from charters and customs to pri-
NAL principles; from a narrow al.
tercation With Lawyers about facts
to the contemplation Of immutabIe
truth. She summoned tile eternal
lars Of mans being to protest
against all tyranny. The English
petition OF rights in 1858 wa. his.
toric and retrospective; the Virginia
declaration came directly out vi the
heart of nature, and announced gov.
erning principles for all people in all
future times. 1t was the voice of
reason going forth to create new in
ssitutions, to speak a new political
world into being. Virginia present
ed herself at the bar Of the world.
and gave the name and fame Of her
sons as hostages, that her public life
should show a likeness to the high
est ideas ofright and equal freedom
among men.
Mr.. Douglas contradicts Bancroft
and all that is truly noble in the
principles OF the fathers Of American
Independence, AZ follows:
No nan can vindicate the charac-
ter, the motives and the conduct of
the Declaration of Independence,
except upon the hypothesis that they
referred to the white race alone, and
not to the African, when they de-
clared al ! men to have been created

speaking of British subjects on this
continent IS being equal to British;
that they Were entitled to tho same
inalienable rights, and among them
were enumerated life, liberty, and
the pursuit Of happiness. The
Declaration OF Independence was
adopted merely for the purpose of
justifying the colonists in the eyes
OF the civilized world in withdraw.

Crown, and dissolving their con
necton from the mother country.

armed men. During their detention,
however, the unfortunate prisoners
received many acts of kindness from
Spanish citizens residing in Truxillo,
for which they express themselves
in terms Of warm gratitude.
While in prison, they learned the
sad fate of their late beloved and
heroic commander. Walker and
Rudler, after having been deliver.

heavily ironed and placed in dark
cells, and no person allowed to com
municate with them. On the 11th
of September the prisoners were in
formed by Mr.. Squires, an Ameri
can, that the General was to be shot
the next day.
Accordingly, on the morning OF
the l2th, the doors and windows Of
the prison were all closed, but
through the port holes the sad spec
tacle was witnessed by Major Dolan,
of the cortege which led the General
to the place Of his execution. lie
walked between two Priests, and
was preceded and followed by q
strong guard.
The party soon disappeared from
the view Of the prisoners. In ten
minutes after they had marched by
the prison, volley OF four muskets
was heard, then volley of five, and
finally a single shot, followed by
loud hurras.
And this was all the prisoners
knew OF the fate Of their brave com
until the doors and windows
Of their prison were thrown open,
and the fact Of hs execution was
announced to them with great glee
and exultation on the part OF the
llondurean officials.
The body of the General was left
on the ground by the Soldiers,
whence it was taken by two Amer.

CONNECTICUT. The returns from
the town elections in this state show
considerable Republican gains over
the vote of last spring. Thus New

of the Democratic parties in the

"lSeliable information from Hart

Gen. Lane on Popular sovereignty.

During the debate in the U. S. Senate, upon
the Territorial Sovereignty question and the re-
latve rights of tn, North and the South, on the
10Th December, the Senator from Oregon said
That it was not his purpose to prescribe rules
or lay down platform of principles for the
Democratic party. He had nothing to do with
the case of Mr.. Douglas, and he had no doubt
there were many good Democrats in the North
ern States who did not agree upon this question
of Territorial rights with the majority of the
party. He would not say they were not good
Democrats because they disagreed with him, nor
would he say that holding the views of Mr.
Douglas would have been a reason for him to
oppose that gentlemans being Chairman of the
Committee on Territories. He was sorry to find
that his own views on this Territorial question
differed very materially from Mr.. Pugh's. He
held that Territory is the common property of
the whole people, in which every State in the
Union has equal rights, and that while in that
Territorial state, the people could not, by un-
friendly legislation or by unequal taxation, in
fringe the rights of the people of any State in
the Union. In the case of Arizona for instance
which was well adapted to slave labor he
would not submit to it that the people OF the
South should go there, and by unfrindy legis-
lation exclude the people of the North The
principle of the equality of States must be main
tanned, and their equal rights in the Territories
was so clear to his mind that be could not see
how any man could doubt it.

A GRAIN OF GoLD.-Edward Everett is the
M ost elegant rhetorician in America. Here is a
little allegory taken from one of his agricultural
speeches. Is it not gem:
"Drop grain of the California gold in the
ground and there it will lie unchanged until
the end of time. The clods on which it falls are
not more cold and lifeess. Drop a grain of
our blessed gold in the ground, and 10 mys-
terry. In few days it softens-it shoots up
wards-it is living thing. 1t is yellow itself,
but it sends up an emerald green through the
soil-it expands to a vigorous staIk-reves In
the u-shine-itselfmore glorious than Solomon,
in its fluttering eafy robes, whose sound, as the
west wind whispers through them, falls as plea
sanity on the husbandmans ear as the rustic of
his sweethearts garment, still towers aloft spins
its verdaut sheens of vegetable floss, displays its
fancy tassels, surcharged with fertilzing dust.
and at last ripens into two three magnificent
batons like this, ian ear of corn,) each of which
Is studded with hundreds of grains OF gold, eve
ry one possessing the same wonderful properties
as the parent grain, every one instinct with tho
same productive powers.
