for her peculiar service, by your executive

aid. | can promise You nothing but my
steadfast and honest endcavor.
If | should fail to reach the North Pole,

nowned daring, and prudence, and lerseve-
rance, have already failed. If, through
some special advantages which attend my
expedition, it shall be my happy lot to
complete the observations at which we aim,
the best that | can do will be no more than
fair return for the kindness which | have
received at your hands. | am proud to say
at this moment that not only here, but also

THE FOURTH IN WILLISTON.

We are indebted to an attentive cOrrespon-

bration in Williston. OF course there is out
one answer to the question with which 1t

1t must be apparent to all "whO read the pa

with due reverence The patriotic citizens OF " IL

mittees were appointed-the necessary arrange

| in by the firing of cannons and the ringing OF
| bells. At o o'clock the marshals, Messrs. Edmund
| Whitney, Geo. P. Weleh and d. NJ. Holton,
| formed the procession in front of the Town House.
| which, preceded by the Williston Cornet Band
marched through the principal streets, and finally
halted at tho "Bowerie" constructed for the occa-
sion. The multitude was called to order by His
Honor Judge W. H. French, the President of the
dav. After the national anthem by the lice Club,
| the Chaplain Rev. A. D. Barber, invoked the
blessing Of "IIim who presidcs the destinies
Of nations
The Band having played " Hail Columbia Mr.

4 CONTRAST.

The Washington correspondent Of the n.
Y Independent thus draws the contrast be.
tween the opening and the close Of the last
session Of Congress; a contrast which must
have been forcibly impressed on every one
who watched the proceedings Of the session.
The session, taken as whole, is one Of the
most important in the annals Of the American Con.
gress. When the first Monday of December came
the House full Of the most fiery passions, Of
every possible element of mischief The Southern
members stormsd, threatened poured out their
blasphemies against Republicanism and the Tn
ion. For time the stoutest breast on the decorous
side Of the House almost deSpaired of the return
Of decency and order. For two long, wearsome
months this contest was waged till finally violence
and insolence retreated before the face of Justice
as she took her place, enthroned by the simple
power of the ballot. 1t took weeks, however, to
curb in the riotous men who had been beaten and
months even passed away before their spirit was
broken. The Speaker chosen was unfortunately
not we'll fitted for such boister0us and exciting
events, though a man and a member of the
House few could stand better. Nevertheless this
untamed spirit of insolence, this overbearing des-
potsm gave Tdy before the power of the free States
as represented upon that floor until at last the
slave-masters seemed TO accept their fate with a
kind of phlosophc content They scarcely kicked
against the pricks Day after day the Republi-
cans voted their measures through the House.
though some of them very obnoxious to the
South. The pro-slavery laws Of New Mexico were
repealed. The Shareholders clustered and threat
ened at first but the House voted the bill through
in spite of every kind of opposition. generous
Homestead bill was passed. Polygamy in Utah
was made a crime; the corrupt Administration
was severely censured; and speech after speech
was made, like those of Loyejoy and Sumner, ex-
posing the horrors Of slavery with little gentleness
and courtesy In short, the tables turned.
The lion who came in so terribly, went out the
gentlest of all bleating lambs When the House
was trying to organize, Houston of Alabama eX-
hausted the vocabulary Of harsh adjectives upon
Mr. Sherman. On the other day the same Mr..
Houston lay for hours in the hollow of Mr.. Sher-
mans hand, and would have been publicly censur-
cd by the House if Mr.. Sherman had not gener-
ouslv withdrawn his resolution of censure upon
the request OF Houston, who expressed desire to
tender an apology to the House The incident
illustrates fcrcbly what am attempting to show
the contrast between the House at the beginning
and the close of the session.
Just so will it be when the Republicans elect
their President. All the threatening storms at
tendant upon the election contest will vanish the
moment it is unalterably decided. The STAKEHOLDER
is accustomed TO rule by threats and when he per-
oeives that they avail him nothing, he is quick to
try some other means to accomplish his object.

DETROIT Hon SCHooL.-We notice in the
ID trout Tribune, a very cOmmendatory
account OF the Spring Examination of the
Higleehool in that place, June %, in pre-
sence of the President and other members of
the Board of Education and citizens generally.
This Institution was opened year or two
since under the charge of Prof. Henry Cha
ney, formerly of the University of Vermont.
At the close of the exercises, Prof. CLANCY was
surprised by request from some of his pupils
to be allowed to say few words; whereupon
d neat service of silver, consisting of several
pieces, with proper inscriptions, was brought
in and presented to him on the part of the
pupils of both sexes, who all showed very
great degree of satisfaction in thus agreeably
surprising their esteemed Instructor while
the latter responded appropriately to the gift,

This shows that the split runs very near
the centre Of the Democratic party, and that
Mr. Douglas has no strength in the South
where the whole strength Of the party is.
\ manifesto issued from the National De
mocratic Executive Committee Rooms, in
Washington, and signed by Miles Taylor,
chairman of that committee, announces that
there is to be no alliance of the Democracy
or combination of its factions. 1t says
Nor does the committee believe that any such
arrangement with propriety be made at any
time, in any place, or under any circumstances,
with those who have placed Breckenridge and
Lane in nomination. and now their avowed
supporters in opposition to the regular nominees
of the democratic party.
National democrats should everywhere meet the
issue now rendered them, by nominating and sup
porting electoral tickets in their respective states
pledged, if elected, to vote for Stephen Douglas
for President, and Herschel V. johnson for Vice
President of the United States. If the seceders
and their friends choose TO separate permanently
from the democratic party, and run ticket in op-
position 70 the regular nominations, let them do
so. Upon them lie the responsibility of the
suit.
Breckenridge & Lane "have seen fit to allow
themselves to become the instruments of a
base and wicked conspiracy to destroy the old
national democratic party and their names
will 90 down upon the scroll of infamy into
the lowest deep On the other hand the
Constitution describes the Douglas party as
miserable faction who. from motives of
sordid selt-interest and personal ambition,
have labored to disrupt the democratic party
and surrender the government into the fatal
grasp of the Black Republicans.
The Charleston Courier terms the body
that nominated Douglas the "squatter, dregs
and residuary convention" How these Dem
ocrats love one another
1t is said that only two influential papers
at the South have yet come out for Mr..
Douglas-the Mobile Register and the St
Louis Republican. There is talk of others
coming over. but they move slow.

cused of quietly lAboring to promote the

SOUTII-SIDE VIEW OF NON-IN,
TEHN ENTION.

Mr.. Crdulden, OF Georgia, who made one
OF the closing speeches IN the Douglas Con-
yentlon at Baltimore, proved hlmselfa more
consistent n0n-lnterventiOnist than some of
his colleagues. lie said, at the outset that
he was from 1.-THE slave breeding state of
| Georgia, and that he ''giOrified' in being

negroes as any man in Virginia. lie invited

ton, to inspect his prime lots, among which
were to he found many ''pure. unadulterated
Africans and ''as handsome a set Of little
children as could be seen anywhere. But
because he was a slave-brecder and approved
the institution OF slavery, he was warm
supporter Of non-interventiOn. Mr.. Gaulden
explained Why; and he said
This is my idea of non-intervention. want

Massachusetts, l want you to hoAe it. II you
