scuEvY TmcK.-rhe flagstaff ut Fayetteville
was cut down by boring, on the night preceding the
day the Douglas convention assembled at that place
by some scurvy, Ill disposed "fclows of the baser
Sort who in their attempts to do what they thought
to be smart thing, only showed their own assinne
qualities. The citizens of Fayetteville without dis
tinction of party would have assisted in raising the
pole for the floating Of the Douglas flag had it not
been to badly broken for use. At the north such
d"ode o"n only be perpetraed under cover of dark
ness and in secrecy AT the south they are performed
IN open day light, with military escort to look on
and applaud. Hence the difference.

hand, in should run to see the great Non-Inter-
venter.
One thing is remarkable in this tour. Mr..
Douglas is unusually conciliating towards all
parties at the north in his speeches. Of course
he cannot at once ignore all his old habits, so
he as usual bellies the Republicans pretty badly,
but he does it in honied phrase. We find in
his speeches but little of the characteristic style
of remark for which he has been somewhat
noted. He is in most benevolent and gener-
Gus frame of mind. For his great exertions in
behalf of the Republic in general, and of Kan
sas in particular, he discaims all praise. That
he is the author of the great Noninterventon
scheme, he modestly denies. lie rcpudiates all
Exclusive glory and exclusive credit" He in
sists that the late Wing party shall share in his
honors Paul plan,ed-Apollos watered, and
he ony-but we need not finish the sentence.
Non intervention Gas Mr. Douglas calls iD was
in full and Aourishing practice long before he
had anything to do with it. The late Wing
party died lisping, with its stifening tongue,
the doctrine. Clay loved it. Webster dotted
upon it. Pierce was selected upon that very
ground Gen. Scott was not elected upon
that very ground" for although he was a Nom
Interventer, the other man was more of Nom
Interventer. Mr.. Fillmore approved. "To be
sure,' says Mr.. Douglas, 81 was in the habit of
denying that the Wings were entitled to the
exclusive credit Of those measurers. They fur
nished tho norernls--wo the unjoritips" What
an exquisitely fraternal, harmonious, we may al
most say heavenly arrangement "Poor, dear
brother Clay! how did love HIM" says broth
err Douglas. Excellent brother Webster! how
| admired him." says the amiable Douglas.

DAMAGE DONE TO A GOOD STORY

The Schoharie en- Je6ersonian publishes
the following, under the heading, "a FRER RE-
PUBIIcAN-Hon. Harrison g. Blake of Ohio -
Everybody has read of the incident of a
traveller by the name of Blake, who in the win.
ter of 1921, with his wife and infant, was pass
ing over the Green Mountains of Vermont I;
that the drifting snow rendered the roads i'm
passable for his horse; that he left the wife and
infant in the sleigh and went in pursuit of as
sstance; that he persisted before arriving at
human habitation, and that the next day trav-
eler found the wife and mother dead, she hay

stripped the mantle from her breast,
Aud barred her bosom to the storm,
And round her child had wrapped the vest,
And smiled to think her babe was warm
With one cold kiss, one tear she shed,
And sank upon her snowy bed.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1860-08-18

The babe looked up and swec;ly smiled"
This melancholy and thrilling incident in the
life of the child would make his subsequent
history a matter of interest to almost any read
er, even had there been nothing unusual in it.
But his life has been an eventful one, series
OF ''irrepressible conflicts" with msfortunes, in
which the man has always triumphed over mat,
ter, and the integrity of the man always stand
ing above reproach
Having, some ten years since, formed slight
acquaintance with this toundiing of the Green
Mounroin snow drifts, and often heard incidents
of his career recounted by lips that love to
praise him, we have naturally kept an eye upon
his movements and taken deep interest in his
career, although he has undoubtedly long since
