SEWARD, DOUGLAS, DAvIsAND TEUMBULI

/ SEWARD, DOUGLAS, DAVIS AND TEuMbULL
A correspondent of the Cleaveland Plain
dealer thus describes the principal speakers
in the Senate, on the Goth;
Stewards delivery is very defective His
voice il weak, be is stoOp-shouldered, very
spare and bloodless even his three hours
speech brought no flush of face or hands
that would indicate any blood in his veins
His complexion is sallow, his hair appears
faded rather than silver, his nose is sharp
Roman, his eyebrows heavy from length Of
hair indicative of age. He often puts both
hands in bis pants pockets, and one foot on
the foot piece Of his desk, and reads on duly
the labored composition. He opened few
points, but very studiously covered old dam'
aged ones. He mentioned Harper's Ferry
with marked reluctance, and covered it over
with the sins of Missouri, though he seemed
never to have heard Of New England Aid
Society or Sharpe rife.
When Seward commenced, he drew from
his pocket nice, clean, white handkerchief
which his careful wife had no doubt given
him that morning for the occasion, He
used it once and laid it down, and then put
the old red one through the whole course
| have no doubt but Mr.. Stewards speech
will read much better than it sounded. 1t
ought to.
Douglas rose and as the distance was not
great, it was soon done, The glow of health
and animation lit up his countenance, and
all unprepared as far as any previous pre-
paration was concerned, and was one of those
impulsive, ready rejoinders, for which he is
so celebrated, took the vaunting Goliath
between the eyes. His manner is active
but easy. His style has touch of Western
untrammeled eloquence. He decapitated
this mighty Philistine with his own sword.
The beautiful structure which cost Seward
so much time, labor and travel, such long
journeys across the ocean, over the Alps,
around the Pyramids, and through the
Courts of the East, was in one brief hour
scattered to fragments at the feet of the
Little Giant.
Douglas was followed by the polished, ac
complshed eloquent Davis. 1t was like the
euchanting strains of the soft guitar in the
Silly night succeeding to the full Douglas
martial band, that had itself been preceded
by the Seward monotouous bagpipe. After
Davis, Trumbull came piping in like an old
cracked flute, with many untrue and discord>
ant notes, apparently ambitious only of be.
ing recognized as in big company.

BoNHAM, OF SOUTH CAROLINA, ON JUDGE
DoUGLAs,-Governor Bonham, of South
Carolina, now Representative in the House
of the Fourth District of that State, has
written letter in favor of the representation
of South Carolina in the Convention at
Charleston. His bitterness against Douglas
is deadly. We quote from the epistle Of
this gentleman.
l believe it is admitted that by the aid Of
the votes be will be able to get from the
Black Republican States, and Others which
will probably go against the Democratic par
ty in the election itself, he will go into the
Convention with larger vote than any other
candidate.
But let US anaylize this vote. The one
hundred aud twenty Southern votes and the
seven votes of the Pacific slope Judge Dou-
gas cannot obtain, in the first instance, be-
fore the Convention so that if he gets the
entire remaining Northern vote (Which is very
probabie), he will enter the Convention with
one hundred aud seventysix votes Ninety,
one of these, as before stated, neither he nor
any other Democrat will probably get iu the
Electoral Colleges. The remaining eighty
five votes are from the doubtful States OF
Nav Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indisna,
Illinois and Minnesota, one,haf of which, at
least, will support the Republican candidate
for President, and the other half would o.
soon, perhaps sooner, vote for souud South
ern Democrat than for Judge Douglas h,m
self; so that the probable available vote with
which Judge Douglas will enter the Con
venton will not exceed forty-two.

plot for the rnn of his rival, Mr. George Soule,
which has just been laid,op preclude the longer

requesting copies Of their papers sent to Mr..
George sonle These letters also contained the
request that the catalogue sent, Zone of MIR.

and copy, with notice marked, sent to each of

none of the editors intended to be made the
