An Exactimg and TreacherOus
-" SET.

To show that the question Of the ad-
mission of the seceders could not have
been so settled as to avoid break in the
Democratic Convention at Baltimore, the
Albany Argus makes the following state
ment, which, as its author was one of the
New York delegates, we take to be strict
ly true: '.'' ''.
when the motion to consider was
made and the Convention took its recess
on Friday, the New York Delegates in
quired of the representative men Of the
South what they demanded?
'The retraction of every vote that the
Convention has given on the subject"
"Ahd what next?" .7'1 '
9. The repudiation of the platform, and
the adoption of the principle of Congress
sional protection to slavery" '''-
"And what next?"
The abandonment OF the candidate
Of the majority"
"And what ncxt?"
"'We are not prepared to say what
next. We shall inform you when the
time comes'''
The Alias well adds, in speaking of the
exaction and faithlessness of the Disun-
ionists
"The whole conduct Of the men who
made these demands had been character
ised by infdelity to pledges. When Mr..
Gushing had decided that the rule which
required for nomination two-thirds OF
the votes gipen meant two-thirds of those
given and not gipen, the Virginia and 9TH
cr delegations promised, if the decision
was sustained, to abide in the Conven-
tion and by its action. They profess al
SO satisfaction with the platform as ad
opted, and dsclaimed the idea of Congress
sional protection to slavery p
"Yet at Baltimore they seized the first
false pretense to go off, nominated Breck-
in ridge by one-third OF the Convention.
(including a score of bogus delegates,
and adopted a slavecode platform. And
to this course, it is now known, Senators
had secretly pledged them, weeks before
the Baltimore Convention met"

A LEAP-YEAR PROPOSAL.

"Well, girls, here is a leap-year half
gone, and not one of you has had spirit
enough to offer yourself to any fascinat-
ing masculine yeti"
The speaker was the centre of a group
of young girls-either of them beautiful
enough to be the belle of city ball room
who were seated under widespread

comm modions country residence.
"Why don't you propose yourself,
Nell?" retorted Maggie Warland-a tall,
dark-eyed girl, seated on the left of the
first speaker. .....

SPEECH OF JUDGE DOUGLAS.

Mr.. MAYOR AND FELLOW -ClTIzENs.-l
have just returned from pilgrimage to
Lexington, preparatory to visiting this
sacred spot where we are now assembled.
OF all the battle fields and all the places
consecrated to patriotism by the blood Of
our revolutionary fathers, none is so dear
to the American heart as Bunker Hill
"Hear, hear, and applause. There is
not an American citizen upon the face OF
this broad continent, no matter whether
he may be from tho South or the North,
or whether he may come from the plains
of the Northwest or the shores of the Pa
cific, who does not claim Tor himself and
his posterity a share in the glories which
that monument was erected to comnem-
crate. [Applausc,l You may imagine
that the monument is peculiar to Charles
town, and that you have deeper interest
| in that work than the American citizen
who may bo in the relnotest parts of the
Republic, or sailing upon the broad ocean,
but will assure j. on that there is not one
of You who claims greater pride, either in
the work itself, or in the glorious deeds
which it was made to commemorate, than
the citizens of my own Illinois! ["Hear'

me day which shall long cherish and

the first American blood was shed, which
gave rise to the American Revolution,

gave the impetus to the Revolution thai
resulted in the establishment of our indie

principles which gave rise to the Revolu

A GOOD RULE-A man who is very rich now
was very poor when he was boy. When asked
how he got his riches, he replied "My father
taught me never to play until my work was finished,
and never to spend my money until had earned
it. If had but one hours work in day, must
do that the first thing, and in an hour, and after
this was allowed to play; and then could play
with much more pleasure than if | had the thought
of an unfinished task before my mind. l early
formed the habit of doing everything in time, and
it soon became perfectly easy to do so. 1t is to
this owe my prosperity.
