Douglas and Lincoln.

The Illinois debates, as the speeches
Of their great senatorial canvass in 1858
are called showed the peculiari,ies Of
their genius, and the difference in their
character and abilities, to great advantage.
Lincoln was always rgumentative, al
ways cool, never yi,uperatiye, never low
lie appealed to the Judgment Of his au-
dItors, to their conscience or reason, al
ways. If he INDUCED in bit of play
full humor, it was to relieve the WEAKNESS
of the hour, or to foil some adroit blow Of
his antagonist. He handled Douglas as
he would TN eel-by main strength
Sometimes, perhaps, he hu2gcd him so
strongly that he slipped through his fin
gers. Douglas rarely argues. He is a
sophist Of the ultra-slippery school He
makes much Of phrases, and trips ones
heels by his tricks of language But his
main power lies in his appeals to the pas,
slons and the lover instincts Of tie mob.
Here he is at home. lie could talk, as if
he were the most honest man in the
world, about amalgamation as being asso
ciated with the Republican party, when
he knew he was lying But this was an
instrument by which he could awake the
passions and appeal to the prejudiccs Of
the mob, aud he used it od rn,scom -

the discussion of the slavery question to

Douglas, Boston.
If bis Satanic Majesty, vulgarly called
old Nick, should deliver lecture on the
great waste of time involved in resisting
the mischief his tricks have put mankind
to, he would not be more ridiculous than
that. Douglas who solitary and alone
put the ball in motion, should now
object to the time given to this slavery
excitement. Old Nick, if the Democrat

be, would be ashamed to make such an
issue. Why Douglas, Democracy and

excitement for their own special benefit.

EXCITEMENT IN VIRGINIA..

I On the fourth of July, the Republi
cans Of Accouquan, near Alexandria,
Va, numbering some three hundred,
raised Lincoln and Hamlin pole and
flag The Democrats of the vicinity
have been greatly exercised in conse-
quence thereof, and finally agreed to
meet on Thursday last and tear down the
flag. The isopublicsus determined to
defend their flag ana CALLED on Governor
Letchcr for assistance. Tns Governor
ordered cut military company to ,;.-e-
serve the peace. The sympathies Of the
military are supposed to be with the
mob, and it Is uncertain what the result
will be. Accouquan, is the residence of
Mr.. Underwood, who was ostraciscd for
attending the Republican conven lion at
Philadelphia four years ago. There is
no charge preferred against the Republi
cans except that they raised RepubIi-
can flag. They have committed no other
offence and are now threatened with ex.
pulsion. 1t may well be asked if the
Democracy have preserved the libcrtie;

RAILROADS..

We have a few words to say Oh the
above hackneyed subject, and more espe-
cially to the farmers of the North half Of
Cedar, and the South half Of Jones and
Of. Linn counties. AS the case now
stands the farmers in the section above
named have only one outlet to market
and that is over the c., I. l. y. r. R.
We have nothing to say against the man
agement Of that road. 1t, like all others,
looks out for its own interests, as it
should, and while it monopolizes the
carrying trade Of that section will not be
likely to put its tariff Of frcights as low
as 1t would was there a competing line
1t is fact that during all of last winter,
the price paid for wheat at Onion Grove
station was from ten to fifteen cents less,
per bushel, than was paid at Muscatine.
1t will probably be the same this coming
winter, if the Upton Railroad is rot
completed. The amount Of wheat that
will be sold during the next year is LARGE.
We have no means Of knowing how many
bushels will be sold, but we know that
the amount will be large and tina, the
difference in the price now and the price
As it would be with a Southern outlet
would amount to large sum. Such
being the case We should expect that the
farm ers would feel an interest in the
completion Of the railroad from the Chi.

sale is ominous of Dousla defeat -

cess his home organ would have contin-

best friends give it up, what sense is
there in voting for him unless you want
Lane to be the next President? 1t is
