and now he is bound Westward--but, we are
sorry to say. on a line of travel which will
take him directly away from the good old
lady. We have remarked this popularity in
the "little Sucker:" wherever he may be,
like fish in muddy water, he takes the hue
of the spotin which he may be. There is an
illustration Of this remarkable fact in the
Senator's speech at Harrisburgh. lie was in
the heart of Pennsylvania, and straghtway
he began to talk of the great interests Of
Pennsylvania, her mineral wealth. and final
ly Of the necessity of protecting PROTECT

Lost somebody may suspect us of misunder-
standing or msquodng Senator Douglas, we
will quote from the tolegraphic report of his
Harrisburgh speech
Mr.. Douglas commenced bis speech by glowing cu-
logy N Pennsylvania as an empire within herself She

If we had never before lacked confidence
in the political integrity of Senator Douglas,
We should do it now. He is clearly doma-
goguo of the first water For more than a
dozen years, whilc he has been in tho House
and the Senate, the policy of the Democratic
party has been anti Pennsylvania and anti
protective; and we have yet to learn that Mr..
Douglas has ever dared to differ from his par
ty on that subject, either in speech or vote.
No he has acted with them, and so acted
that, but for little rccusancy on the Squattcr
Sovereignty question, he would to-day have
the confidence and support Of the Free Ira
ders Of the South. And then his argument
is the argument of fundamentally nm
just and unioundcd in respect to ovory party
but his own. 10 is not true that Congress is
liable to ccnsuro "for its neglect of legitimate
duties TO stray after false gods negroes.
Mono The Republicans Of the House
found time at the last session to pass a Tariff
bill, not only satisfactory to Pennsylvania,
but Just to the whole country 1t was the
Democratic Senate who would not take time
to act upon it. 1t was the Democratic Senate
which "worshippcd false gods" and wasted its
time about the slavery question and no man
wasted more Of it than Douglas himself lie
spent days in making speeches for himse,f-
uota day in speaking for Pennsylvania or the
country. Rarely in his scat at ALL his whole
time was spent, when he was there, in taking
care Of his own interests.
g0' Tho Fairs of Rutland and Addison
counties, held last were every way success
/ full, and were attended by a multitude Of peo-
/ pic. 1t was our lot to meet with the people
of Addison county, at Middlebury and it
was an exceedingly pleasant meeting. Gov.
Chase of Ohio delivered the address, and
SAKE of Burlington, the man who is not Gov
crnor, delivered poem, and the public excr-
cisos were closed by brief greeting from the
editor of this paper. The address of Gov.
Chase abounded in good sense and good hui
NOR, while a fresh introduction to Saxo's old
poem on Now England was full of fun. But
there were two poems on this occasion Gov.
Chase having closed 10y the following tribute
to Vermont 10y natvo-Mr. Harris, former
ly of Addison county, and at present editor
Of the Ohio Cutiyator:
