Dorr Upon Douglas-The North west
Speaking Ont.

The editor of the Dubuque Herald to whom
Senator Douglas some months ago addressed
his celebrated Letter, foreshadowine the at
tempt OF the South to commend the Democra.
cy to Slave Code, reopen the slave-trade
&C., &C., thus eloquently responds to the nomi
nations made at Baltimore:
sfThe nomination of Mr. Douglas is a olo.
rious event in the history of our party, and in
the history of our country. 1t is the great
event of the day. It is the triumph of a no
BILE people over trading politicians-it is the
triumph of nationality over sectionalism-it is
the triumph Of patriotism over faction and
folly, and at this hour the heart of the masses
OF this great nation are beating responsiyely
to the glad announcement.
The name of Stephen A. Douglas has he.
come household word in the families of this
Union. His patriotism, his integrity, his hon.
esty, and his indomitable courage have en-
deared him to the hearts of the people of this
land, and if he lives he will be the next Pressi
dent of this union.
Never before in the history of this country
was Statesman SO unrelentingly assaiaed as
he has been, and never before did Statesman
triumph SC gloriously over all opposition.
The most desperate and unholy personal
warfare has been made upon by men of his
own party. We have seen him.

D-SURRENDERED.-The nomi-
nation of Judge Douglas has had singular
effect on the Republican party. That event
took place one week ago to-day, and already
the Lincoln guns appear to be spiked, the
forces seem to have surrendered, and the name
of the Rail candidate is hardly heard above a
whisper. The Douglas enthusiasm carries
everything by storm. Men, women and chill
dren are for the "Little Giant" Every per-
son shouts for Douglas, and the Rail worship
pers disappear from the public gaze. Solid,
conservative men are joining the Douglas STAN
dard all the time, and the already irresistible
column is daily augumenting. Wherever you
go it is Douglas! Douglas Douglas!!! And
so it will be until November comes Every
body feels that the political edifce, the govern
ment of the people, is in great danger, and all
agree that Douglas is the man for the great
crisis, and hence he is hourly gaining strength
1t is delightful to be in the line in the great
Douglas column. 1t does not require labor
and effort to get up a meeting or work up en-
thusiasm. The people are full of enthusiasm
and all they want to know is where meeting
is to be held to promote the good cause, and
they are on hand and no mistake. Let the
ball roll on. Huzza for Douglas and johnson!

Words of such fearful import tits the weak
Drunk with fanaticism's poisoned wine,
Who, reckless of the future, blindly seek
To hold their saturnalia at the shrine, ri
That noble souls have held, and still must hold divine
Dissolve the Unionl madmen. would you rend
The glorious motto from our country's crest!
Would ye desPoil the stars and stripes that send
Home, food, protection, TO the worlds oppressed
Have ye no reverence for the high bequest,
That our immortal sires bestowed ere while
Has sin effaced the image God impressed
On your humanity, that you could smile,
To see the lurid flames of freedoms funeral pile?
r Dissolve the Union In the day and. hour
Ye rend the blood-cemented ties in twain,
The fearful cloud of civil war shall lower
On every old blue hill and sunny plain,
From torrid Mexico to frigid Maine
Dissolve the Union No, ye not part,
With idle words, the blessed ties that bind,
In one the interests of the mighty heart
That treasure up the hopes of all mankind
Awhile, perhaps, the blind may lead the blind,
From beaten paths to quagmres, ere they find
The ray that shone so beautiful and bright, g
Wes but phantom lure to deeper, darker night.

May madly aim paricidal blow,
And show your disregard of all its grand

With hearts, and sinewy hand to hand,
To guard from foul dishonor's cankering stain,
The jewels God has shrined in freedoms holy fame

HARD BUTTER WITHOUT IcE.-To have
hard butter in summer, without ice, the plan
recommended by that excellent and useful pub
lication, the Scientific American, is good
enc. Put trivit, or an open fat thing with
legs, in saucer; put on this trivit the plate
of butter; fill the saucer with water; turn a
common fower-pot upside down over the but
ter, SO that its edges shall be within the sau-
Ger and under the water Plug the hole of
the flower pot with cork, then drenoh the
fower-pot with water, set it in a cool place
until morning, or if done at breakfast. the
butter will be hard by supper time. How

learning philosophy, astronomy, syntax and
prosody, can write an explanation of this with.

Won't HAVE AN EASY TINE OF IT.-The
New York Tribune, the sharpest Republican
paper in this country, thus giTes the alarm to
its political friends. It says:
''To the Republicans the path of duty isnow
plain. Orr adUersaries are not about to give
as the ezection-.-tiar from At. Mr.. Douglas and
his hackers have staked their all on this strug-
gle, and they will prosecute the canvass with
an energy and desperation rarely, if ever, be-
fore known. Cutting loose from the expiring
Administration, they will denounce without
measure its corruption, its imbeciIity and its
tyranny, and endeavor to make capital ont of
its universal unpopularity. We must not cal

MISTAKE OF A PENNSYLVANIA ENRON

MISTAKE OF A PENNSYLVANIA EDIToR-
A good mistake occurred, on Tuesday night,
at the Yancey balcony, writes the Baltimore
correspondent of the Philadelphia Press.
There being loud calls of 'Toombs,' 'Toombs'
Mr.. Moons, editor of the Cambria (Pa) iAoun-
taineer, who was near by, mistook the sound,
and, wondering at his sudden and extensive
popularity, thought that he was called for.
'Toomhs,' 'Toombs,. amid the clamor, was
Moons tNoons,' to his ear. With feelings
that can be imagined better than they can be
deeribed, he made his way to the front of the
balcony, and thanking his fellow citizens for
their wise impartiality, proceeded to make a
strong Douglas speech. In vain did the Yam
cey men strive to interrupt him. In vain was
he pulled by the coat-tail, nudged in tile ribs,
caught by the elbow. The people, equally in
the dark as himself cheers him, and more than
overbalanced the attempts of the Yancey men
to cry him down, He continued in an en-
phatic Douglas vein, and the whispered i'm
portunities of friends and foes around him to
desist, telling him that he was in the wrong
place, could not convince him. So he made
his speech, feeling that the people knew best

NEGRO EQUALITY.-At recent Black Re
publican Convention held in Stark County,
Ohio, the following resolutions were adopted
Resol0ed, That it is not only the duty, but
the interest of the Republican party in this
State to do all in its power to extend to color
ed citizens the elective franchise, and we do
most earnestly call upon that party to make
this subject part of their State policy.
Resolved, That should the Republicans give
the colored people of Ohio the elective fran
=chise, it would thereby secure to itself per-
manent and unchanging majority in this State,
which would always insure toit the asoendency.

ECLIPSE OF THE SUN.-A.n eclipse of the
sun is a luxury of the season which is very
rare, and when it does come, should be hand
somely acknowledged. There is to be one on
the 18th of July. 1t will begin at 7:10 in the
morning; the greatest obscuration will be at at
8:10 and will end at 9:10. Sluggards will
miss it if they do not break through their rule
and rise early. This eclipse comes every nine
teen years. 1t will next appear July 20,
1879, and August 9th, 1896.

SOUND DOCTRINE.

The following resolutions were adopted by
the Democracy Of st. Louis, at their ratification
of the nomination of STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS
They breathe thesame sentiments of all Union
loving men, both North and South
Resolved, That we believe the preservation
Of the Union to depend upon the complete
cessation of sectional controversy, at once and
forever.
ResolOed, That the only true safeguard
against sectional agitation is the final and per-
manent establishment of the great and saving
doctrine of absolute non intervention by Con-
gress in regard. to Slavery any where or under
any circumstances whatever. and the utter
abandonment of all attempts to procure Con-
gresslonal Legislation on that subject, whether
such attempts proceed from the North or from
the South; come whence they may, they are
in their tendency all sabyersive of the nation
al peace, and destructive of the spirit of bro
therhood which should eyer bipd rs together
as United people.
ResozUed, That our solemn conviction is
that our beloved Union is now seriously i'm
periled by the efforts of fanatics in both Sec
tions to carry out their respective extreme
views, and we believe that the only available
protection to the country in the present crisis
is for all patriots to rally to the standard of
that brave and venerable party which has for
years in its most authoritative declarations
fearlessly and faithfully proclaimed -s'N Non

Resozyed, That the principles we haze sgt
forth are embodied in and have been faithful
ly upheld by Stephen A. Douglas, and he is,
therefore entitled to the earnest support Of
IL - \
of every man who values his country more
than party, and his country's peace more than
party success. For him we claim the hands
and hearts of ell true Democrats, and invoke
the suffrages of all other citizens, of whatever
party heretofore, who believe with us that the
time has fully come to rebnke and extinguish
forever the spirit of sectional agitation, and to
alght anew the fires of devotion to the Con
stitution and the Union.

The POLICE AND THE BURGLARs.-We have
been q good deal exercised here for a long
while in regard to the frequent bold rebberies,
burglaries and crimes of various kinds COM
mitted in this city, but the recent discovery Of
the completely Of the police in Boston, and the
same body in Philadelphia some time ago, with
acts Of this character, may throw some light
upon the subject There is very little belief,
we suppose, in the mind Of any one, that our
police are more pure and incorruptible than
those Of the aforementioned cities, and we
hardly think IL would excite much surprise IL
at any time some of the members Of our police
force were TO be charged with aiding aud
abetting criminals Of various grades, from
the pickpocket to the burglar. After all,
II is not unnatural that the police should
be dishonest or should possess strong
affinity for thieves and rogues Of all descrip.
tons. The police are political body, and as
long as the system Of primary elections, and
the other machinery whereby small politicians
are elevated TO Office, continues In force, as at
present It is not to be expected that the police
will remain exempt from the universal cor
rupti0n which pervades the whole class Of
politicians, Of every hue and shape, and which
leads to defalcations and peculstions alike In
Congress, in the federal Offices, in the State
government and In the municipal Corporation.
When we see government officials, high In
position, and presumed to be correct in con-
duct, becoming defaulters to the amount Of
hundreds Of thousands of dollars, IL Is not TO be
wondered at that the police, who are generally
selected from the lowest class of poiti-
clans. should be in league with pick
pockets, thieves and burglars, shielding
their delinquencics and sharing their plum
der. In this, as in the case Of public de-
faulters, IL Is the system more than the indi-
viduals which Is 10 blame. 10 no other country
in the world are the police appointed for party
political purposes; and as long as the members
Of that force are taken from the class Of polti-
clans, we may expect to find the guardians Of
the peace and property Of the public leagued
with the class from which they originally
came-the rogues and vagabonds Of the COM
munity. In the private walks OF life men have
some interest in being honest; their prospects
depend upon their reputation, and their reputs-
ton is maintained or lost according 10 the

pears. a battle royal between Hon. Massa

ratons OF the Tribune philosopher we're inter-
uitted by bis duties on the Platform Committee;

against Seward was that his administration,
should be be elected. wonld be as corrupt as the

Weed would rule the kitchen. allowing no one
except his particular friends 70 have smell al,
the roast. Hereupon the friends Of the can
didates other than Seward took fright aud
rushed, pell nell, over to Lincoln. Without
doubt, the gross corruption which reigned at
Albany last winter had great deal to do with
the massacre of Seward. The wrath of his
friends Is described a. being something terrific;
their denunciations were especially directed
against the philanthropic Greeley. The
swearing Of our army ID Flanders must
have been mild compared to the ans'he-

emergency, the whole country desires to ex
press its determined opposition to the rsvolu-
tionary and destructive aims Of the black repub-
licans, and to separate the question Of slavery
from all political connection, consigning it to
the field of moral and social discussion, where
it properly belongs. The great masses Of the
people are opposed to the rule Of radical and
innovating leaders, whose desire Is to carry on
a political agitation that will destroy the con-
stituion and break up the Union. The next
few weeks will determine whether the political
managers Of the democratic party can give up
their sectional views on one side, and their per-
sonal preferences on the other, in behalf Of the
common good. On the result of these two con-
ventions new hangs the final determination Of
the character Of the coming political cam,
