Look to the True Issue.

We all admired the pluck of those Northern
Democrats who at Charleston stood up man.
fully and told the South that they could go no
further to aid Slavery, but no one admirers the
trucking obeisance of any man to this same
power, either for the sake of Office or an cleo
ton And we believe that all honest men,
whether Democrats or what not, will take good
care to judge Of such men and their acts
While these Northern Democrats were boldly
confronting the enemy of the Country at
Charleston, Douglas was playing loose, and
giving them the lie in his speeches.
In tho Senate, on the 10th Of May, just be-
fore the Charleston Convention broke up in
row, and after part of the South had lett,
Mr.. Douglas made use of the following Ian
guage in reply to jeff. Davis:
"H is part of the history of the Country
that under this doctrine Of non-inta reniiOn,
this doctrine THAT YOU DELIGHT TO CALL sQUATTEk
SOVEREIGNTY, the people of New Mexico have
introduced and protected Slavery in the whole
os that Territory. Under this doctrine, THEY
HAVE CONVERTED A TRACT OF FREE TERRITORY,
FIVE TIMES THE SIZE OF THE STATE OF New YORK.
Under this doctrine Slavery has been extended
from the Rio Grande to the Gulf of California,
and from the line of the Republic of Mexico,
not only up to 36 deg, 80 min, but up to 38
deg.-GIvING YOU A DEGREE AND HALF MORE
SLAVE TERRITORY THAN YOU EVER CLAIMED. You
asked only up to 36 deg. 80 min, and non in
tervention has given yon slave territory up to
50 deg, A DEGREE AND HALF MORE THAN YOU
ASKED and yet you say that this is sacrifice
OF Southern rights. These are the fruits OF
this principle which the Senator from Mississip-
pi regards as hostile to the interests of the
South. Where did you ever get any other
fruits that were more paIatable TO your taste or
more refreshing to your strength? WHAT
IoTHER INCH OF FREE TERRITORY HAS BEEN CON
vEHTED INTO SLAVE TERRITORY ON THE AMERICAN
CONTINENT, SINCE THE REVOLUTION, EXCEPT Arr
IONA, UNDER THE PRINCIPLE OF NON INTERVENTION
affirmed at Charleston? If it be true this prin-
cple of non-intervention has conferred upon
you all that immense territory has protected
Slavery in that comparatively northern and
cold region where you did not expect to 60,
cannot you trust the same principle further
South when y0u come 10 acquire additional terri
tory from MericO?"
Hero is your boastcd Douglas. Your refusal
to go further in aid of Slavery. Read it! Let
every man who thinks Popular Sovereignty
under Douglas Administration, is going to
make the territories fee, seriously ponder il
before he makes up his mind to vote against
honest old Abe.

EVENLY DIvIDED.-The Democratic Press of
Vermont is now equally divided between Doug

Breckenridge. The Star does not yet hoist the

A story As Is a Story.

III Is just twenty years ago yesterday said
our narrator, "that party of US fellers went
over to CakOkia Creek, on a skating match
The day was colder than ten icebergs all stuck
together, but the ice was as smooth as glass
and we made up our minds to have a heaD of
fun. Bill Berry was the leader of the crowd
tie was tall six-fOOter full of pluck, and the
best skater in all creation. Give Bill Berry a
good pair Of skates and smooth sailing and
he d make the trip to Bafin's Bay and back in
twenty y-fOur hours, only stopping long enough
at Halifax to take drink. Well, we got to the
creek and fastened our skates on, and, after
taking good horn from Joe Turner's flask.
started off in good style, Bill Berry in the lead
As was tellin' ye. it WAS a dogonned cold
day, and SO we had to skate fast TO keen the

on the ice like lightning. 1t was Bill Berry's

as to cut his head off against the sharp corners
OF the ice. 1T is all day with Bill Berry, said

looked at Bills head, which had been poin' it
another hole. We run to it, and 1 heard Bin
Berry say, Quick, boys, quick-pul, me out -
looked into the hole, and there as true as I'm
sinner, was Bill Berry's body, which had
shoOted along under the ice, and met the head
at hole in the ice. 1t was so thunderin' cold
that the head had frozen fast to the body, and
we pulled Billy out as good as new He felt
little numb at first, but, after skating awhile,
ne was as the rest of us, and laughed over the
joke. We went home 8bOut dark all satisfied
with the days sport. About nine O'Clock in
the evening somebody knocked. at my door,
and said was wanted over to Bill Berry's. I
put on my coat and went over There Law

His wife said that after he came home from

HARD TO SUIT--Pitts is a sharp man, a man
of business tact; and when Pitts goes into a
store to trade, he always gets the lowest cash
ice; and he says:
''Well, III look about, and if don't find
anything that suits me better, I'll call and
take this"
Pitts, like all fast men, is partial to women,
and young ones in particular. Now, lately,
Pitts said to himself, ''I'm gettin' rather long
in years, and I'll get married" His business
qualities wouldn't let him wait, so of he travels
and calls on lady friend, opening the conver-
sation by remarking that he would like to know
what she thought about his getting married
''0h, Mr.. Pitts, that is an affair in which l
am not so very greatly interested, and prefer
to leave il with yourself -
But" says Pitts, you are interested, and
my dear girl, will you marry me ?"
The young lady blushed very red, hesitated,
and finally, as Pitts was very we'll to do in the
world, and morally, financially and politically
of good standing in society, she accepted him.
Whereupon the matter -of-fact Pitts responded,
Well, we'll; I'll look about, and if don't
find anybody that suits me better than you,
I'll come back"
