age from the speech delivered by Mr.. Breck-
'nr'dge at Lexington. after his election as
Vice President in 1856, and declares that 1t
1T IS quite as emphatic an endorsement of the
doctrine of popular sovereignty as any ever
made by Senator Douglas:
u pom the distracting question Of domes-
tic slavery, their (the Democratic ~party's)
positio" is clear. The whole power of the
Democratic organization is pledged to the
following proposition that Congress shall not
intervene upon that subject in the States, in
the Territories, or in the District Of Colum.
Ola that the people of each Territory ah.H de-
ferm'ne the question 70, Memselves, without dis
elimination on account of the allowance or
prohibition OF slavery" wH
Certainly, this looks precisely like the view,
Of Douglas.

We said Y hen The name of Mr.. Brock
nridye was announced AS the Candidate
Of the seceders for President, that il
would be difficult to manufacture much
enthusiasm for i'm even in Mississippi
and South Carolina. In l856-that is
not too far back to 90, is it?-he made
a speech in the West, called his .''Tippe-
canoe spec. H." which did not escape the
rebukes of the extreme Southern press
1.-THE very press that will now be called
upon to support him! He was in com,
pany with that extreme Southen Rights
advocate, Mr.. john Van Buren,, and that
other eminent Soulllen man, Gen. Lewis
Cass: The following is a past Of his
speech i. was given at the lime:
TIE Speaker has heard it chang red ,hat
the fifteen Slave States we've comprising
to obtain entire possession Of general
Government, with II view Of bringing its
po~er to bear to extend and r-rpetuate
their ''pecullar Institutions. Gentlemen,
there has been no such attempt. am
connected with no party that has for its
hjrct the extension Of slavery nor with
any to prevent the people Of a State or
Territory from vc.ding the question Of
It's existence or non-exlsteuce with them
for themselves.
Thesp-aker continued, ! happened to
be in Congress when the Nebraska bill
passed and gave it my voice and my vote,
and because it did what it did, viz: 1t
cknowldged the right Of the people Of

selves, and not because | supposed, what
I do not now believe. tina, it legislated

HE STRUGGLE IN ALABAMA.-n "a y
OF our readers suppose that Douglas wi
not draw off votes en- :ugi, from Bfeck.
iuridye in Alabama TO make amy impres.
sion, let them read the following from a
Baltimore letter 20 a New York ''R-pub.
%iicau" paper:
The delegation from Alabama, headed
hy john Fors, III, is composed OF "A hne
body of men. Some OF them " from
tv. hundred to eight hundred slaves
aud have incomes ranging from
$4,000 to 10000 per aunum. They
d. clare that when the %"Iit,te giant" SAYS
the word, there are fifteen OF them VIII"
are willing to be assessed, if need be, on"
hundred thousand d;lla,s each, to de-
frav the expenses Of the eI.cti"n. They
have never held Office, and solemniy de-
clare they never will.
This is the spirit with which the
Douglas mel in that State are carrying
on the contest. They will divide the
Democracy Of Alabama about equally.
and thus gre a clear track for Bell and
Everett. Il, IN. Jere. Clemens, who IS as
well posted in regard TO Alabama poll
tics as any man in the State, wrote to
The Memphis Enquirer before the nom-
nation of Douglas that it he were nom
mated, and the S-c-d-rs run another
candidate, Bell and Everett would carry
the State in November easily. This con
tigency has come 70 pass, and this is the
kew to the enthusiasm Of the Bell and
Everett men in Alabama. They are
>sngui"e of success. Their great State
Convention at Selma, Of whose .doings
we heard yesterday aud m re ts-day
shows how rapidly the patriotic th+rm'-
meter is rising. L"uis'a"s will not be
behind Alabama. The contest will he l."
are which will roll up the largest ma
lierity for BELL ard Everett. Al.bam,

The Great Breach Of Promise Case

The case OF Miss Cartzang a.
gainst Mr.. Shaw is again in
course of trial at St. Louis
1t will be remembered that on
the first trial OF this case a ver-
dict was given for the plaintiff
assessing her damages at $780,
coo. The defendant applied
for a new trial, which, after a
lengthy argument, conducted on
the part of the defence by Ed
ward Bates, was granted by
Judge Reber. Since that time
Mr., Shaw has used every means
in his power to collect testimo-
ny against the plaintiff from eV-
cry quarter where she has ever
lived or been known. The St.
Lotus Democrat Of the Sth in>
stant devotes a largespace to a
summary of the whole matter,
an epitome Of which follows.
The defendant, Henry Shaw,
has been a resident of st. Louis
for forty-one years. He was
formerly a merchant, and acqui-
ring great wealth, retired from
business as long ago as l84l.-|

the removal Of the remains o.
Andrew Jackson from the "Her>

Andrew Jackson, Jr., his adopss

the Governor of the State, max

hero, expressed in his dying mo-
ments, that his remains should
repose at the ''Hermitage. -
He says:
''I write to you, sir, for the
purpose of expressing the dying
sentiments of nv venerated fa~
ther to me and Mrs, Jackson,
just before his decease, as l per-
ceive movement has been made
in the Legislature to have his
and Mrs. Jackson's remains re-
moved to the State capitol
grounds at Nashville. He call
ed me and my wife to his bed
side and said, "My son and
daughter, it may become neces-
sary for you to sell and dispose
Of the Hermitage and grounds

let my remains, and those Of my

The plaintiff, Miss Effie Cath

How Dics. Cured bis Wife Jealousy

Our old acquaintance, X. T.
s. or as he is better known,
t'straight back Dick" has been
exercising his vocation In new
direction. Not conttnt with
the running sharp saws unsus.
pecting males, he has turned
his attention to females, and
-salar,a.l. as his first victim h's
own wife.
Now, bel it known, Mrs. S.
whilst she possesses all the or
dinary graces of mind and body
which adorn her sex; is very
Jealous, withal, and has ever
watched her loved, wishal, and
has ever watched her loved
spouse with care which might
have proved troublesome to any
one but himself. if Dick spoke
of going to the theatre, Mrs. S.
admired the pe;ce for the even
ins above any thingshe had ever
seen, and begged him like. a
kind, good darling hubby to
engage her a seat too, and Dick
had it TO do. If Dick told he
was behind with his book, and
he was obliged to go down town
after supper and write them up,
Mrs. S., tiatly pronunced it a
lie-in her own mlnd-and
would torture herself with a
thousand thoughts as to achere
he was going, who he was 60
ing to see, and what she was
like; 'for of course thought
Mrs. s. sit must be a She Of
ten she watched him, and truth
demands that we should add
follawad him IN his nocturnal
ram0ieS, unuisauSIeI that moth
ing was wrong, she would slip
back home /; when few minutes
after, Dick entered the house,
he would find her sitting de-
murely by the fire reading a
book, or perhaps engaged in the
manufacturing Of some article of
baby apparel, looking for all the
world as though she hadn't been
out Of the house for a month.
Now Dick although he never
mentioned it, was not blind to
bis wife's pet failing, and last
week an excellent opportunity
was offered him to break her
oft. The family had retired to
bed, and all were asleep, appar-
emily, save Dick and and his
wife. Whilst Madam lay awake,
Dick gradually went off into
a snore still satisfied of impress
sion created upon her mind
when he began:
With the conversing, ! forgot all time,
Al seaaons and their change, all please
alike"
1Ahn! said she, talking in his
