CRITTENDEN ON DOUGLAS.

In the speech of Hon. John J. Crittenden,
of Kentucky, at Louisville, Thursday evening,
August End, among other things he says:
1 know Mr. Douglas very well, ladies and
gentlemen. From Mr.. Douglas, I apprehend
no danger. have never been democrat, as
you all know, (Applause) A frank, fair and
honest opponent of the Democratic party, l
have ever been found acting upon Wing prin-
cpiles, from the first to the last. Increased
applause.0 But I have known Mr.. Douglas
in the public Councils, and have acted with
him. Although generally opposed, and espe-
cially upon party question, We have at times
acted together, and particularly on one mo
mentous occasion, acted in opposition to that
infamous Lecompton Constitution. (Deafen-
ing applause) He was sacrificing his connec-
ton, on that occasion, with many political
friends; he was sacrificing as Hattering pros
poets for the highest Office in the Government
as any man in the country ever had. fully
believe he did what he conceived to be his
duty; and, in defiance of all opposition, the
rack of the President, official friends, and
omen foes he acted like a man. (Tremendous
cheering) He might have been mistaken in
what he did, but that little diminishes the
value of the act. He thought he was right,
and he knew he was making sacrifice, and
he was capable of making it, when he believed
the interests of his country demanded it,
| (Cheers) can have no quarrel with him
he is Union man. (Cheers.) And Union
man can always trust, when I believe him to
be sincere and in earnest, as believe Douglas
to be. CONTINUED applause.) I have spo-
ken not to compliment Mr.. Douglas merely; /
| have spoken because 1 desire to give my testi-
mony to his truth. believe Mr.. Douglas to
be patriot, and know him to be Union
| man by all the evidences that one public man
can give another of his sentiments. Gap
plause He is generous, bold man, speak
| ing what he thinks and doing what he knows
to be right. (Repeated applause.) But ]
am opposed to MIR. Douglas. am for Bell
| and Everett.

YOUNG LADY KILLED BY HER BROTHER
1N-LAw.-Miss Catharine Thorn was shot by
her brother-in-law, VIM. D. Totty. at Rich
mond, Va, on Wednesday morning, and died
about IL o'clock at night.
1t appears that Catharine Thorn, sometimes
called "Kitty," was very beautiful girl, not
quite eighteen years of age. Totty, her
brother-in-law, had become desperately enam-
ored of Kitty, and on more than one occasion
had begged her to elope with him. The idea
of being instrumental in rendering her own
sister "grass widow" Kitty could not toler-
ate, SO she invariably and Indignantly spurned
all of Totty's unholy propositions.
On wednesday morning the deceased was
sitting at the breakfast table when Totty en-
tered and seated himself in chair next to
his sister-in-law. In presence of two other
persons-Mrs. Adams and young man named
Pleasant Orange-he drew forth pistol, laid
it upon the table, and addressing deceased,
said, "will you go 2" Miss Thorn replied "I
will not" whereupon he placed the muzzle of
the pistol to her side, discharged it, and fed.
He is still at large. The father of Miss Thorn,
as well as the lady herself and Totty and his
wife, all lived in the same house, where Totty
had lately gone to keeping drinking place,
though formerly he had been sober and
most trustworthy policeman.

The following is an extract from letter
written by Hon. Hiram Warner, of Georgia,
to the editor of the Southern Contederacy; ''I
shall vote for the nominees of the regular Ma
tional Democratic Convention, Douglas and
johnson; am opposed to Congressional Inter
vention with the question of Slavery in the
Territories. Shall stand firmly by that great
fundamental Democratic principle of lon-ia--
tervention by Congress with the question of
Slavery; stand by my friends in this State who
maintain that great fundamental principle,

only safe policy for the South.

EARLY RISING.
By j. G.. SAKE

"God bless the man who first invented sleep!"
So Sancho Panza said, and so sayI;
And bless him also, that he didn't keep
His great discovery to himself; or try
To make it-as the lucky fellow might
close monopoly by ''patent right"
Yes-bless the man who first invented sleep,
I really can't avoid the iteration;)
But blast the man with curses loud and deep,
Whate'er the rascaPs name, or age or station,
Who first invented, and went round advising
That artificial cut of-Early Rising s,.J
'.Rise with the lark, and with the lark to bed"
Observe some solemn, sentimental owl,
Maxims like these are very cheaply said;
But ere you make yourself a fool or fowl,
Pray, just inquire about the rise-and fall,
And whether larks have any bed at all
The .stime for honest folks to be abed," J"
Is in the morning, if treason right;
And he who cannot keep his precious head
Upon his pillow till tits fairly light,
And so enjoy his forty morning winks
Is up to knavery; or else-he drinks!
Thompson, who sung about the Seasons said,
1t was a glorious thing to rise in season,
But then he said it-lying-in his bed
AT 10,o'clock, A. M.-the very reason
He wrote so charmingly. The simple fact is,
His preaching wasn't sanctioned by his practice.
'Tis, doubtless, well to be sometimes awake
Awake to duty, and awake to truth
But when, alas a nice review we take
OF our best deeds and days, we find, in sooth,
The hours that leave the slightest cause to weep
Are those we passed in childhood, or-asleep
'Tis beautiful to leave the world awhile
For the soft visions of the gentle night;
And free at last from mortal ear or guile,
To live, as only in the angels sight,
In sleeps sweet realm so costly shut in,
where, at the worst, we only dream of sini
So, let us sleep, and give the Maker praise;
like the lad who, when hisfa.her thought
To clip his morning nap y hackneyed phrase
Of vagrant worm by early songsters caught,
Cried "served him right, its not at all surprising
The worm was punished sir, for early rising !"

throne, to acquiesce in state of things which
will make it as difficult for an Englishman to
visit the scenes of christian history as 70 PEN
citrate into the mosques of fMeeca? Are we to
permit Aleppo, Damascus, Jerusalum, and
perhaps, every city as far as Bagdad, to be
closed to Europeans after their native Chris
tian population has been massacred or driven
out? Are we prepared to hear of our mission
aries being put to death or turned out of the
country, with orders never to set foot in it
again, and to be unable to venture mile from
the Mediterranean coast without a guard OF
Musse1man canvasses
But all this must be conceded, and more
too, unless we are ready to deal sternly and
summarily with these Druse and Arab rufians
and the conniying Turkish authorities. 1t is
likely, indeed, that for the moment the Porte
will be rather frightened. We have no doubt
that NJ. Musurs has informed his Government
of the temper of the English nation, and the
ambassador in Paris will doubtless make
equally pressing representations. The troops
Will be despatched with something like alacri-
ty to Bey1 out, and Fuad Pasha will do his best
to put a stop to the disorders. But what is a
Constantinople politician, that he should be
able to damn up the current OF Asiatic fanatl-
cism, which has now broken its bounds, and is
flooding the southern provinces of the Empire!
The perpetrators of these outrages have little
respect for the class which Faud represents,
and which they would exterminate with as
much pleasure as they do the Christians.
We do not know how far the Commissioner
may possess the qualities necessary for dealing
with savage races in state of frenzy, but he
will certainly require them. No kind of con-
eiliation or coaxing will be of the least avail,
as it will only give the marauders high no.
tion of their own power, and encourage them
to renew the attack directly the troops are
withdrawn. Only the most resolute demean-
or, and the most active operations will be of
any use The question, then, is whether
Fuad Pacha, or indeed, any Turk, is endowed
with the acquisite energy and resourcesr We
fear not. The behaviour of the Turkish Off
GERS seem to indicate that they had little pow
er over their men. In one case there is no
reason to believe that the commander took
part with the murderers, but generally the
work has gone on while the troops have sto-
Idly kept to their barracks, and their officers
seem to have known that it was of no use try
ing to bring them out. IF this was the case
with detachments, why should it not be so
with an army? Who shall say that the force
acting under Faud Pacha will show any real
activity in furnishing outrages which every
true believer in its ranks considers to be ho-
| ly work IF, however, it should prove that
the Porte is incapable of keeping order, it will
| then be time to consider whether the Turk
has not been long enough there, and whether
| Christian nations ought not to take council as
to the future of this interesting and most un-
happy land.
