/ grow out OF the essential nature of hn-

unchangsble and eternal. This deep,
fundamental. controlling conviction
crops out in all his speeches In that
great contest of 1853. when these two
champions mot each other and the
people face 10 iacs oil over the State

dering masses to their allegiance to
Liberty and to their devotion to hu-
man rights! In reading the first de-
bates of that campaign. one is struck
with the noble and exalted tone OF
Lincoln's speeches. His defense OF
the Declaration of independence
against the attacks of Douglas. aud
his glowing apostrophe TO that i'm
mortal instrument, are among the
sublimest specimens of eloquence. and
are worthy Of the best days of the Re-
public.
The fate which seems about to over
take these two men is not less signifi |

their lives. The evil genius which
has so long stood by Donglss has at

Shc-she seemed not to heed him, but rose
like one that is dreaming,
Slid from his grasp, and Aeetly mounted
the steps of the gangway,
Up 20 the hurricane deck, in silence. without
lamentation.
Straight to the stern of the boat, where TIE
wheel was, she ran. and the prople
Followed her fast till she turned and stood
at bay for a moment,
Looking them in the face, and in the face
of the gambler.
Not one 10 save her--not one of all tag
compassionate people
Not one 10 save her, of all the plying
angels in heaven
Not one bolt of God TO strike him dead
there before her
Wildly she waved him back, we waiting IN
silence and horror.
Over the swarthy face of the gambler a
pallor of passion
Passed, like a CLEAN of lighting over the
west in the nighttim
White, she stood, and mute, till he put forth
his hand to secure her;
Then she turned and apec--in mid air
huttered a moment
Down, there, whirling, fell, like broken
winged bird from tree-.op,
Down on the cruel wheel, that caught her,
and hnrled her, and crushed her,
And in the foaming water plunged her, and
hid her forever
VI.
Still with his back &c US all the pilot stood,
but We heard him
Swallowing hard, as he pulled the bell-rope
to stop her. Then tarning-
"This is the place where it happened"
brokenly whispered the pilot.
Somehow, | never like to go by here alone
in the night-tim
Darkly the Mississippi flowed by the town
that lay in the starlight,
Cheerful with lamps. Below We conld hear
them reversing the engines.
And the great boat glided up to the shore
like giant exhausted.
Heavily sighed her pipes. Broad over the
swamps to the eastward
Shone the full moon, and turned our far
trembling wake into silver.
All was serene and calm, but the odorUus
breath of the willows
Smote like the subtitle breath of an infinite
sorrow upon US.

GAIN OF CONGRESSMAN.

The black republican national" COM
mittee have issued an address since the
elections on Tuesday, in which they take
it for granted that LINcoLN's election is
certain. In this connection they say:
"He can do nothing without a Con
gress which is kindly disposed toward
nm. 10 secure sucn u Congress lie. no
republican believe, for single moment,
that he is entitled to exemption from la
Dor until the closing Of the polls in No
vember."
This is pat to the occasion; the re-
suits of Tuesday show that the next Con-
gress is already lost to the black republi.
cans beyond all hope of redemption
They have not made gain of a Con
gresham in any State as yet, while in
some they have lost. There is no prospect
whatever that, even should LINCOLN by
any unfortunate circumstance be elected,
Congress will be kindly disposed toward
him,

those pages five distinct votes on that

"OUR BINGHAM"

Who spoke to the confding republi-
cans of this city last week, came away
from Pontiac without having won many
laurels, as will be seen by the following
correspondence of the Free Press:
1t having been announced by papers
and handbils that "Our Bingham would
speak to the confding republicans OF
Pontiac and vicinity about "Our Blair"
and "Our Wisner" and our republican
State administration, of course | went to
the Court House to hear.
"Our Bingham" was very profuse about
democratic frauds, democratic corruption,
and democratic dishonesty; thinking to
hide by such vague charges the frauds,
corruptions and extravaganza Of his own
and Wisner's administrations.
He was q little unfortunate, however,
in his allusion to facts, as the sequel will
prove.
He charged the loan Of the Detroit and
Pontiac Railroad Of the 100000 bonds
as one Of the great frauds for which the
democratic party WIS answerable, and to
show how pure he himself was, even in
the early part Of his political life (lo3S)
he stated, broadly, distinctly, ana en,phat'-
cally, that he voted against the bill, and
had always opposed the measure, and that
in consequence Of his vote the democratic
politicians of Pontiac had always opposed
him to the bitter end; but, said he, "thank
Cox, since this corrupt measure has been
| fully exposed, and my course upon it fully
indicated, have now here in Pontiac
and around me on every side hosts Of
friends" Immense applause by confding
republicans.
But how surprised we're we few demo.
Gratis who had gone there, and kns,0 that
he roted for the BIZ, to hear him state so
boastingly and SO publicly an absolute
falsshood "Our Bingham" evidently did
not expect there was such person in the
room as an incredulous democrat, or that
the House Journal of 1888 was accessible.
Having given any one present an OPP
portunity Of asking questions IA proceed
ing evincing so much assurance that he
supposed 10 one dare speak), A. @. Bald
win Esq, who has all tho journals of the
House and Senate of the State of Michi-
gan, quietly moved out Of the room, aud
! in few minutes returned with the House

Bingham had concluded his three hours

VTTRRAU FOR DOUGLAsl


The "Iadepsndent" on the Little Giant !!
Extract from sour Washington Letter"
E5. 20h, 1858.
"Standing upon the doctrine of the Ne
braska Bill, and its Endorsement i1 the
Cincinnati platform, he is ilapregnabie
as against all administrative opposition,
and will hew his was through all obsta-
cles. The power of his logic is terrible
against his opponents. And there are
few in the Senate who like to wake the
lion up. He is impulsive, and on the
least intimation of brush from his OPP
ponents, throws himself into the ring
hurting arguments at their heads thick as
hail aud with the force of trip-hsmmers.
Upon seeing him in these Senate encoun-
tors, with his opponents popping up all
around him, launching their questions as
hunters would at lion at bay, am often
reminded of Rhoderick Dhu with his
back to the rock and his trusty blade in
his hand. When he has silenced and
discounted the host around him, he tow
ers up in all the strength and bravery of
the hero Of the Alamo, who stood sur
rounded by his windrows of dead. He
says that he fought that doctrine of "pop-
ular sovereignty" through against the
entire North and West in good faith and
not to subserve the interests of slavery
and it shall not now become a dead letter
at the dictum of slavery-extenders and
disunionists; and if for his fealty to the
doctrine he is to be prosecuted to poll
teal death by his democratic brethren,
he gives them fair notice that he shall die
hard. Moreover, in that conflict, they
themselves may probably find burial, as
wing of the party. Your readers may
rest assured that he will never yield an
iota. He has thrown his all upon the
issue before the people; and such is the
nature of his composition, that he will
not rest or abate a jot of his warfare until
verdict of the people is rendered.
With him will go the great mass of the
Democrats of the North and West, while
Democratic Pennsylvania is becoming al.
most unanimous in her rejection of her

RESULTS OF THE LATE ELEcTIoN.-The
democrats have reason to be well satisfied
with the results Of their efforts at the
late election in the Upper Peninsula
Some of these results can be briefly emu
merated:
The election Of democratic Senator
in place of black republican elected two
years ago;
Carrying Chippewa country, which the
black republicans carried two years ago;
Carrying Marquette country by fifty
majority, which the black republicans
carried byseventy majority two years ago;
Carrying Ontonagon country by eighty
majority, where the black republicans had
a majority two years ago;
Largely increasing the democratic ma
jority in Houghton country.
These are among the results accom-.
plished by the democracy, but, largely Is
they appear, they are small when com.
pared with the results that will be accom-.
plished in November. Then the Upper
Peninsula will send DOUGLAS, BARRY and
