speech made in the late Democratic Con
vention by Southern Doug las Democrat.
IL 10 rich. and full upon the slave ques
tion in all its different phases. Mr.. Goul
den is . genuine, Out-spoken member OF
his party. He differs from the rest ouly
in this-he has the independence to speak
as he fslls. while they are towards to their
convictions. Read this,-hers is Democ.
racy for you:
WHAT SLAVERY Has DONE.
This institution of Slavery. as / have
said elsewhere, has done more to advance
the prosperity and Intelligence of the
white race and Of the human race than all
else together. / believe il to be founded
upon the law Of God; i believe it would be
q blessing to all races: believe that liber.
~ would not truly exist in this Western
World except by maintaining the integrity
OF the great national Democratic party =
Applause AS for this irrepressible con.
dict party, with their serried ranks now
ready to march down upon as, / have no
faith IN it, because it is founded in auar
chy, in everything suti-republican, in
everything that is opposed TO human pro-
gress while l understand the idea
Of the great national Democratic par
ty TO be non-intervention 10 its broadest
sense lApplause
CANNOT DO MUCH IN GEORGIA.
Now. my Northern friends, | do not
know that can do any thing in Georgia to
reconcile these matters, but whatever | can
do will. Applause
l say that our friends in Georgia who
are crying out for protection to Slavery in
the Territories arc advocating a mere the
DRY, a mere abstraction, a thing that is not
and cannot be; they would do much bet
ter if they would demand protection from
the General Government, aud have line
of police established along the borders of
the Slave States to calch aud hang the
thieving abolitionists who are stealing our
niggers. Laughter and spplause.l
That is means Of protection. and whyf
Because it is practical. Renewed laugh

speaking OF the the women Of Germany,
remarks !:
Everywhere women work in the
fields. Tin England during harves, on
the continent all the time, and they do
more, ! believe, than the men. Well
bred women, too, work in their houses.
and above all they are kind and decent
In their manners-not nearly so hand
some as ours-bnt, nowhere have the
women so bad manners an with US, and
nowhere else do they dress IN HE streets
as they were women of easy virtue
But they choose to do it, and who can
hinder
There is proneness in this country
among our women, TO make a display.
and in order to Do this, they neglec,
other matters of great importance.
Let them learn lesson ,of the hard
working German women Of the father

young lady in Hadlyme has died Of self
poison beause her lovei, to whom she

has died of a broken heart. A third
young lady, in Deep river, outraged by
married merchant of Hartford while
she was stupefed with drugs, is rroba-

SWALLOWING THINGs.-At q recent
meeting Of the Boston Society for Medi-
cal Improvement, DR.. Tyler, the Nc
Lane Asylum, said ii was the common
est thing for patients at that institution
to swallow small objects. such as pieces
OF glass. coal, stone, thimbles, &c
Lately, woman swallowed a crochet
heedle Silver thimbles were quito q
common article Of diet. The treatment
generally employed was TO give plenty
of farina Cruel, or porridge, without re-
sorting to medicine. Among some of
the patients was a curious propensity to
swallow toads, and there is now in the
asylum man who was swallo we'd half
a dozen live toads, without injury.

The Byronic Blacksmith.

A story bas been for some time going
the rounds of the press in regard to a
relative OF Lord Byron, who, it is said, is
working as journeyman blacksmith.
Different versions of the story has been
given, but the Philadelphia Inquirer
claims the following as the version.
which proves the Baron Wentworth to
be as bad a mechanic as he is lord:
When we saw Lord Ockham, now
Baron Wentworth, few months since
he was at work at the Thames Iron
Shipbuilding Company's establishment,
at Blackwell, cutting bolts at twenty
tour shillings, English. or less than six
dollars week. The Baron enthworth
is twenty-five or twenty-three years Of
age, and appears to inherit his grand
fathers taste for gin, but as for his
'taste and talent for mechanics" those
who know him best pronounce him n
s'poor tool" 1t is true that he was
employed for while at Mr.. John Scots
Russcll's works, where his example to
the rest of the hands was by no means
worthy of imitation. He logged with the
head patiermaker, TO whow he had Of
ten expressed the stronget desire to be-
come the skipper of a coal barge on
the Thames Lord Ockham ran, or
walked away from Scott Russell's to
Aberdeen, five hundred and fifty miles
north Of London, where for one month
he INDUCED his "taste and talent for
mechanics" in menial employment in a
machine shop. He then went to New
York and worked there for two months
in machine shop, with the usual rre-
sults-drunkenness and discharge. He
contrived to get back to London. and
may very likely, have, left the Thames
Iron Shipbuilding Company's works for
better wages in Woolwick Arsenal At
Blackwell he was often dead drunk, al
though he would then manage to hoist
the American cotors over his lodging, to
be hauled down on the return of sober
ness for the Union Jack How much
love there may be at the bottom Of all
this we cannot say.

This whole country is dotted with beau

beautiful. There are no more charm

add Harriet, which lie about FIVE miles
from st. Anthony, are the most striking
for variety, richness and picturesque
ness. A striking peculiarly of these
lakes is, that by the action Of the ice
natural levees or roads are made around
them, which require no work TO fit them
for vehicles Those lakes all abound
with fish, but the great fishing grounds
are in Lake Minnetonka, which is in

communicates with the lakes we were

Of a queer-looking little craft which was
undoubtedly propelled by steam, but

style of craft. Her length was about
sixty feet, her width about ten, and her
cabin was an open spacce in the hull,
