Mr. Douglass Plan Of stumPIuc the c0un-
try VIII gain him no more votes than llurels.
The people don ike it. It IS contrary u
all their ideas concerning the fitness Of
things We cannot call to mind any man
having been q Presidential stumper,
unless the few silly speeches that General
Harrison made be an exception; but he was
very pr mptly mUzz,ed, and not allowed to
20 on 10 the stump again. But for this sa-
gaci0Us treatment the wings would have been
beaten, for the country never could have
have stood the inaugural in advance. Mr..
Douglas Is little likely to talk as atsurdly OF
as honestly as General Harrison talked but
he Will do himself as much harm as If he
were a downright fool. The Presidential
Office is not to De sought as if it were a small
place suited % the necessities Of an ambI-
tious man with seven wives and a child-we
mean, with a wife and seven small children.
The modes of the bar room and the stump
are not applicable to those who would be
among Washington s successors. The other
candidates set examples which Mr.. Douglas
would Do well to initiate. Air. LINCOLN and
Mr Bell ar, studi0usly silent; and Nh.
Breckinrid,e has said very little, ard that
little ne is determined shall not b9 made
more. The regular democratic candidate,
however, behaves in the most irregular mln-
nar, and having broken down the democratic
party, seeks to break UP all rule and order.
He'll not make many votes by his notion
or motions. He may travel from the Dan Ot
Oregon to the Becrsheba Of u .s.. aud he'll
find the whole country barren oi sympathy
with his cause.-Irqr t.r.

AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCE
MENT OF SCIENcE.-The annual meeting OF
this body of scientific men was held this
year at Newport, R. I. 1t began Aug. lst.
From the reports of papers read on various
scientific subjects of importance we take the
following:
Aug. 3. Prof Silliman read paper on
the combustion of wet fuel. As the most
thoroughly air dried wood contains twenty
five per cent of water, it might be supposed
that the term wet fuel applies to all wood
But technically considered, it applies to
peat, spent tan, and such like substances
The object of the paper was to describe a
mode of combustion of wet fuel, by which 1t
is not only rendered possible, but with
economical results. In the first stage of the
combustion OF wet fuel, the chief products
are steam, smoke, and carbonic acid, They
pass off into the stack, carrying with them
the latent heat. The object to be gained is
to recover this heat, which is licked up and
this is accomplished by an arrangement of
furnace, by which these products may be
arrested and made to consume themselves.
Mr. Thompson, by an invention in 1854. has
I
which was described, Prof. Silliman had
consumed peat in a condition in which it
contained seyenty-fve per cent of water
| TINS ,ubiect is Of vast economical Importance
to New England, which contains such i'm
mcnse deposits of peat.
In answer to Il question from Prof Hors-
! ford, whether the method in the furnace was
new, PROT Silliman replied it was, since, in
all other methods atmospheric air has free
access, while in this the atmosphere is almost
entirely shut off, and the oxygen is obtained
from the steam.
A paper on "some experiments in regard
to binocular vision" by Prof. W. B. Rogers
being under discussion
Prof. Rogers remarked on the great value
Of binOcular vision in reference to the detect
ion of counterfeit bank notes, as this Take
an original note and place it in an apartment
Of the stereoscope, and d fac simile or copy

/ If there is the slightest divergence, the
smallest line of difference. the eyes, brought
to a single angle of conveyance, cannot fail
/ to detect the difference.
Prof W. d. Whitney read an interesting
paper on the data AMI methods of Hindu

WHAT CALEB Cushing SAYS OF LINcoLx.-
In conversation between Caleb Cushing and
Col. Parker, author of "reminiscences of
Rufus Choate, Cushing said 9. Abr,ba,n

canvass with Douglas he beat him in arcu-
ment, beat him at law, and beat him in Wit.

Ii tie Se"ateof Virginia, in opposition 70 III
Repeai oIMe Duciiing Latcs.

III tie Senate of EnytHta, IN opposition 10 tie
Repeai ciMe Duciiing Laos.
Mr.. Thomas, Of Fairfax, SAID that the
question involved in the bill was Of an I'M
portant character, and deserving Of the most
anxious consideration Of the Senate For
his own part, he conceived il an attempt to
reyolutionzc the policy Of the State, which
has received the sanction Of the people for
the last fifty years, evidenced by the facts
alluded to by the Senator from l. ,uduun,
Mr.. Carter that no change had ever been
effected, except upon one occasion, By the
ordinary legislation Of the State. That al
though amuesties had been granted by the
changes in the organic laws upon two occa-
sons yet in obedience to the well ascertain
ed opinion Of tile people Of the State, they
had provided that the Legislature might pro-
vide, by law, that 40 person shall be capa-
bic Of holding or being elected to, any post
Of profit or emolument, civil, military, legiS-
latve executive or judicial, under the gov
eminent OF this commonwealth, who shall
hereafter fight duel on send "a accept 4
challenge 70 fight duel.
This has been done upon each Of the o.
casions, by the Legislature, and, in his judy
Lutut, ~ Ndo CihiilIhtty PiOPCA, - S'A'11'a'
ed to discouutenancc and arrest the practice.
Mr.. Thomas spoke u the consequences
which would result from the passage u such
law, and contended that its repeal would
be construed to given legislative sanction
to practice So fruitful II evil.
Besides this, he was, however, opposed to
the bill upon other considerations The
trainers Of it have engrnlted upon il a section
which, in their opinion Will remove the dis
abilities under which the Senator elect from
King William is laborng, and entltle Inn to
seat in the Senate.
Mr.. T. was Of the opinion that Mr.. Douglas
was incapable Of being elected, for atthe time
Of the election he had incurred the disabili-
ties arising from having accepted challenge
to fight duel; and the simple proposition
now is, to avoid tho law by giving the bill
under consideration retroactive operation,
and declare him capable Of being elected,
whilst the law i peremptory that he shall
be incapable Of being elected.
This cannot be 4 ne consistently with our
duty, and is plainly yiolatiye Of the Law,
made in obedience to the requirements Oft the
Constitution.
Mr.. I. spoke at some length, but We have
not been able to get an extended sketch Of
his remarks.
