"lf should ever conclude TO doff whatev.

test they shall not make fun of me.''
The speech from which the Herald pre-.
tends 10 quote, was delivered on the 9th oil
July, ls48, after the nomination of Gen. Cass
foF4the Presidency. la the course of bis re-
marks, MIR. Lincoln alluded 10 the claims oil
valuable military services then made by the
Demo rats for Gen. c., and after ironically
comparing tho Same with bis own services in
the Black Hawk war, Mr.. Lincoln said
"Alr. Speaker Ii | should ever conclude

the following summary Of news:
DENVER OfrY, May 29.--The chief Of the
Arrapahoes met the whites in council on the
28th inst, and expressed friendly feeling TO.
wards the settlers, aud desired to remain on
amicable terms. lie says the Camanches,
kiowas, Apachas and Cheyennes threaten
war on the settlers, and warns oil to be on
their guard. Little credit is given to these
stories, and no alarm 10 felt. The mountains
are again covered with snow. The news
from the mines is unimportant; business 10
dull. From recent arrivals we learn that
some of the emigrants are turning back on
the plains without coming In sight OF the

We learn by the Glasgow that on the 18th
Ill, Lady Byron, the widow OF the great
poet, lied at London, in the sixty sixth year
of her age. She was born in l7g4, and was
the Only daughter and heir Of Sir Ralph Mil.
benke Noel, Baronet. In 1855 she succeed.
ed to he barony Of Wentworth. Sac was
married TO Lord Byron in lel5-thc union
proving, rs Is well known, most unhappy 10
both husband and wife, and he lived with
his wife only some thirteen days.
Lady Byron took an active interest in phil.
anthrapic and benevolent movements. and
in 1886 she sent a gift of three hundred and
fifty dollars to the New England Kansas En-.
lerat'on Society. We can scarcely recall q
lady 81 the present century whose name ha.
been so often brought before the public, and
in such singular way, by her relations with
others, rather than by any desire or effort on
her part TO obtain publcty.--[N. Y. Eve

On Tuesday the Senate continued the con.

mission of Kansas; and, as nearly as we can
make out from the confused report, the Kan

Army appropriation bill was then taken up,
aud Before fnal vote was had the Senate
adjourned.

In his famous veto message Of the bill TO
re-oharter the Bank of the United States
Gen. Jackson expressed the following dsci.
ded views, in his usual emphatic style:
"The opinion of the judges has no more
authority over Congress than the or inion OF
Congress has over the judges and on tina,
point, the President is independent Of both
The authority of the Supreme Court mus,
not, therefore, be permitted TO control thu
Congress or the Executive, when acting in
their Legislative capacities, but TO have only
such influence as the force of their reasoning
may deserve"
And such was the position Of the Demo
cratic party in the days of jackson. Now
however, under the lead of Buchanan, the
Democratic party adopt Platforms and leave
their Interpretation to the Supreme Court
and unite in the fercest demonstration OF al
who decline TO submit their conscience and
opinions to that august tribunal.
Thus, it will be seen, that the position
OF the Democracy under Buchanan is m,
rery opposite of that held by them undo,
jackson; and such is the case in regard 10
most important questions.
In the days of Jackson, jefferson was the
apostle AMI oracle of the Democracy; bul
now, IN the days Of buchanan, the disciples
OF Calhoun are the teachers and leaders OF
the party. That same Calhoun. whose opiD.
ION on all political subjects is now thu rule
OF Democratic faith, was regarded as dis.
uaionlst by Jackson, who threatened to hang
hirn and all the followers he then had In the
united States. but now, alas, jackson and
Benton are dead, and the new leaders Of the
democratic party repudiate their positions
and adopt The principles of the great nuIli6
CIR in all their length and breadth. as the
true faith Of the Democracy.
