A two tailed Comet is coming this way. Mr..
Bond. Of the Cambridge Observatory, has got
his ere, armed with IN "extra million msgni-
firing power" lorgnette on the bifurcated celes-
iiAl stroller. He seems to be steering earth
ward (the two-tailed fellow, not Mr.. Bond, J and
is coming head on.
How the Comet GANG to have two tails is not
stated, but it seems to be owing to split. Will
not hr. Bond of the Cambridge Observatory
look little closer, and see if this forked con-
tinuation Of the Comet Of 1850 is not labelled
"Little Dug" We warrant that Comet and
Baltimore have some connection.
Mr. Pond says this Comet looks something
like an old comet that he remembers, but "on
reduced scale" and with the difference that
"the tail branches of in two streams from the
nucleus"
Here is q coincidence worth noting BY the
Democracy that come out in 1860 ton re.
duced scale, with tail branching of in two
streams from the nucleus" Tho matter looks
decidedly serious, and something must be
done. Couldn't there be mass meeting held
in Jupiter, for instance, and the Comet INDUCE
| to run with only one tail, the other done up in
double bow knot, or driven in, or twisted up
with its fellow?
Owing to its present draggle-tailed condition
and "reduced scale," Ar. Bond, who is keen
fellow, aud used to comets, doesn's prophecy
very brilliant future for this Comet, but says
"there is no doubt that the comet is approach

Position Of Hon. John ). MillsOn.

The foilo wing indicates a little more
clearly than anything We have before
seen, the precise views entertained by
this distinguished Virginian:
The Hon. John $. Million, Representative in
Congress from from the Norfolk Iva Di-tr ct,
has published long letter in the Arq,ss of that
city. giving his reasons for concluding to sup
port Mr. Douglas. He thinks that Mr. Breck-
inridge wds nominated only to be defeated and
10 effect the d rision of the party. The plot
ters Of discord" who went To the Charleston
and Ba.timore Couven' ions pursued the course
they did, not that they wanted the less to de-
feat Mr.. Douglas. but because they wanted to
destroy the Union more. Mr.. Milison emphAt.
icelly condemns the idea of the Seceders to or
ganize on their basis new party in opposi-
ton 10 the Democratic party. The views Of
this letter we're vigorously followed up on
Thursday by a speech at Petersburg, Va, in
favor of MIR. Douglas.
Mr.. Milson and Mr.. Letcher are the
very ablest of the present race Of Vir-
ginia Statesmen, and both are laboriug
zealousIy for the defeat of the Seces-
slonisss in the South. They have no
IDEA OF the Democratic party being

Lincelu's Congressional Record,

The admirers of Honest Abe so per-
emptoriy deny his opposition to the
Mexican war, it is well to reveiw it,
giving dates. lie took his seat in Con
gress on the 9th of Dec, ls47, and on the
22nd of the same mouth he offered
resolution under eight heads, in each OF
which he used the word spot" so oddly
that the whole was dubbed he Spotted
resolutions the object being to show if
possible that the beginning of the war
now ended was not stated by the Presi-
dent, and therefore urholy, and all vol
uuteers rs matter of course scoundrels.
This resolution was offercdjust after the
last of series of victories, which found
our troops 10 the city of the Montezu-
mas.
In the midst of the general rejoicing
one Illlnoisian was sad and solemn. That
one was Abraham Lincoln. HIS mind
vas haunted with the idea that there
was somewhere certain bloody "spot"
not exactly in the right place. This
idea, this spot, occupies his mind, his
thoughts, his being. To his disordered
vision it becomes = the brightest militia
ry glory, an attractive rainbow rising in
showers OF blood-a serpent's eye charm
ing but to Destroy" He can hold him
self no longer. lie rushes to the capital,
and with startling eyes and bristl,ng hair,
he points to the objects of his hallucina-
ton and franticalIy yells:

Lincoln ranked his speech en- the oc-
casi0n to many Of his constituents who
indignantly sent it back. One from Wis
consin was returned With fine following
written on the back Of it:
~ dare not let my children read it,
lest it should corrupt them l dare not

On the 2lst OF February motion was
made to suspend the rules to allow
