SENATOR DOUGLAS Position. In
the course of the exciting debate in the
Senate, on Thursday, between Senators
Douglas, Pugh, Davis, and others, Mr.
Douglas distinctly reiterated his posi-
ton on the slavery question and the
Charleston nomination. He did not
regard the bred Scott decision as hav-
ing any effect upon the condition of
slavery in the territories. Whenever
Territory should pass laws prohibit
ing slavery, then the supreme Court
might properly decide this question ;
and he believed the decision would not
be adverse to his views. As to the
nomination at Charleston, he would
not accept it except upon platform,
conforming to his views; he wonld
never commit the meanness of being
elected on platform, and kick it over
afterwards. If the same tests were to
be applied there, which resulted in his
exclusion from the Craftsmanship of the
Territorial Committee, what chance,
he wished to know, was there of cleo
ing Democratic President? He
thought two-thirds of the Democracy
were with him. As the dispute be-
tween Mr.. Douglas and his Democratic
assailants is passing through an inter-
esting stage, we put the above declar-
atoms on record.

A Cool Villain.

James G. Wallace, the Corunna
Banker who disappeared a short time
ago, taking with him several thousand
dollars which belonged to depositors
and Detroit Bankers, has been heard
from. The Corunna Courier gives the
following news, which it says have been
received at that place:
On the 10Th of December, letter
was received by Charles Kimberly
Esq, worded as follows:
New YORK, Dec. 9, $50.
Ny safe is locked on 1, 8 and Z.
Keep cool! j. c. w.
On the same day Mr.. j. L. E. Kelly
received letter bearing same date and
signature, containing the same infor-
nation, but minus the ejaculatory''keep
COOL" His safe was locked OIL the
numbers designated. When the safe
was unlocked it was found to contain
only the covers of his books, evry paper of
value, and all his accounts, blank notes,
drafts, checks, &C., &C., having been
destroyed.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. IA, SO.
Mrs. E. SLATER Although it does
not make me blush to own that / am
consummate rascal, as the world de-
fines that word, / am not rascal
enough to rob the widow or the orphan,
and therefore return you your money.
JAMES c. WALLACE.
The money accompanied this letter
which, with the following to the editor
of the Courier wos sent by express
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. IA, SO.
Mr.. Pulls on will perhaps, think
I have effrontery enough to make a
Jackass; but suppose you doc what do
care? You are already slightly i'm
pressed with the belief that / will do
some things are well as others and
therefore you may not be astonished at
this.
As you no doubt had to give me a
"puff" since left, l Will only say that
you have my full permission-advertise
me to the extent of the fifty dollars /
subscribed to your paper. In the same
package with this, l enclose one hun
dred and fifty dollars for Mrs. Elizabeth
Slater, money she deposited with me
for safe (?) keeping.
AS some who once had confidence in
what / said, may still suppose that l
was born and bred at New York, will
take this occasion to say that / never
was in that city till July 18th, 1853.
If any of your citizens suppose they
have any chance of finding me in New
York, I-may as well say to them that
it is rather uncertain. | am a native
of Southern State, and my father
having been swindled by Abolitionists.
/ determined to swindle somebody in
the first Abolition State where l could
get an opportunity, and l have succeed
ed, and in more States than your own.
My operations now amont to over
eight thousand dollars, clear of expen-
ses, and which l consider, puts me
about even with the id mad Adolf
tionists. Don't understand me as say
ing that circumstances have controlled
my dishonest actions altogether, for
they have rot. | have had to do moth.
ing from necessity, but have acted as |
have little for revenge, and a great
deal because | wanted to.
do not suppose any of you are green
enough to think l am going to stay
here any longth of time; however, il
you should think so, you had better
come and see.
How are the markets? Wheat up
and whisky down? It's a great pity
your commercial editor Uamoosed the
rancho, isn't it I?
Yours, feelingly,
JAMES G. WALLACE.

favor of such code.

Gov. Seward in the Senate

The Washington correspondent O.
the Cincinnati Gazette says: Mr.
Seward received at his house, which
he has again opened, hundreds of his
friends this morning. Nearly all the
Republican members and Senators
waited on him. He expresses great
hope for success in the future. His re-
ception in the Senate was interesting.
His Republican friends surrounded
him, heartily welcoming him back to
their midst, while the Democrats, not
one of them moved from their places,
nor recognized him in any way. The
galleries were crowded with specta-
tors, all of whom observed the extra
ordinary conduct of those fre-eaters. +"

Ar THE GRAVE OF CLAY.-A large
crowd Of persons, attended by con-
cert, troupe, recently visited the grave
of Henry Clay, near Lexington, Ky.
On the followed spot a dirge was sung.
The ladies of the troupe at first stood
in the snow, but the Kentucky gentle
men dotted their cloaks, and casting
them upon the frozen crust, formed a
carpet, upon which the women might
stand in comfort.

of time, and 1 will do it if need be, by
resorting to dilatorg parliamentary mo-

PoL1TICs IN THE SOCIAL CIRCLES
1t is currently reported at Washington
that when the ladies of some Northern
Congressman called upon Mrs. Senator
Toombs, and Mrs. Senator Clay, those
estimable patterns of Southern polite
ness, threw the cards of their visitors
into the fire! On the ground it is con-
.jectured, that the husbands ofthe ladies
who had called, were "greasy mechan-
ics," or self-made.

NoN-INTERcoURsE.-The Republican
club of Madison, Ind, has for years
taken copy of the Richmond Enqui-
rer, with which to refute Democratic
professions at home, by reference to the
infallible head of the party. The thing
worked very well in the last Presiden-
tial election, and now when the club
had sent on the money for a new year,
the letter was returned with the en-
dorsement, "The Richmond Enquirer
does not want subscribers in Indiana"

A DEMONSTRATIONS second
the motion for reconsidering the time
of holding the National Republican
Convention. We do not believe it can
be held too soon, provided time is given
to each State for the election of dele
gates. An early nomination will pre-
vent the party from being drawn asun-
der and broken into factions by undue
partiality for this or that candidate
Men are nothing-principles are every
thing in this contest. We are for that
sound Republican, whoever he may be,
who will be most certain to be elected.
