REMEMBER !-One thing for Us to remember
is that Douglas, notwithstanding all his pre-
tended devotion to Popular Sovereignty, has,
by his silence and non-action, opposed the
admission of Kansas into the Union. Mr..
Douglas abuses the President for trying to
force the Lecompton Constitution upon a
people who didn't want it. Does he forget
that he refused to get through Congress a
Constitution which the people did want? Is
he not as deep in the mud as the President
is in TIE miro?

gMr. Douglas announced, At the Rhode

As We ExpEcrED.-The Wapello Repu6-
lican says of the boast of the Ft. Madison
Plaindealer that, on the occasion of speech
by Dean at Wapello, twelve Republican S
renouncei their faith, and came out for
Douglas:
"The above has not shadow of truth in 1t.
Dean has not made speech here -could not
get an audience, if he did. Even the Dem
ocrats of this place know him too well to ask
him to speak here They would be ashamed
of him. There has not been twelve Repub-
licans converted to the Douglas faith, nor a
fraction of twelve. ltwould require decent
man to accomplish that feat"

JOHN CovoDE RE-NoMINATED.-The Repub-
lican Nineteenth Congressional District Con-
vention Of Pennsylvania re.nominated John
Covode. Mr.. Co7ods was first elected in
1854, and has done the country invaluable
service, in ferreting out abuses and Official
corruption in high places. He had declined
a denomination, pleading that the incoming
Administration would have no occasion for
his services in that capacity; but, despite his
wishes, his polltica! friends have resolved not
to dispense with bis labors.
w- In 1920, the Missouri Compromise
line was established. In iS47, Mr.. Douglas
endeavored to have that line extended to the
Pacific. In 1854, Mr.. Douglas introduced a
bill into Congress for the total abrogation ol
that line. In 1920, Congress intervened to
pr vent the extension Of slavery. In 1s47,
Mr.. Douglas proposed o measure of inter.
cention to prevent the extension Of slavery
In 1854, Mr.. Douglas effected the repeal of al
former laws for its limitation. Has he moi
changed? Does he not favor slayeryp
w- It cannot be too often repeated that
by the repeal of the Missouri Compromise
Slavery was admitted to territory solemnly
consecrated to Freedom. Douglas was tht
leading instrument by which this repeal VIA!
effected. Because Of that repeal, the enemies
. Of Slavery are obliged to fight to get bacl
what was once forever guaranteed to them.

New METHOD OF REPAIRING RAILROAD IRON.-The
Great Western Railroad Company has introduced
new system of repairing damaged and worn out rail
road iron in its shops at Hamilton. The mode of
accomplishing this is simple, and is said to be very
successful The Hamilton Spectator describes the
process as somewhat as follows "A rail which is
damaged at the end by the peeing off of portion
it or the spreading consequent on hard work, can
have new piece put in in a very short time, and
that, too, in such manner that the rail is better,
and will stand more wear and tear, than when new.
The rail is heated to a white heat, and piece of
common bar iron welded into the damaged spot,
and the rail is as good as new This operation may
be performed to greater or less extent as the case
may be; some of the rails we saw would only re-
qulre one foot of new iron, while others would re-
quire as much as seven feet. The great advantage
OF this system over that Of rerong is its cheapness
MeSSrS. Dunning Wormly, the contractors for this
work, say that they can repair these rails at cost
OF 81 per ton, while to re-rOll them would cost $50
besides the expense of transportation and duties if
they were done in the United States"
