Then and Now,

1t is we'll to keep track of the record of poll
ticians who are aspiring for public favor, and
particularly when they occupy the position that
Senator Douglas does. In 1858, in his reply to
Lincoln, he talks as follows in relation to SQUAT
ter sovereignty
" 1t matters not what way the Supreme Court
may hereafter decide, as to the abstract cues
ton, whether slavery may or may not 90 into
Territory under the Constitution, the people
have the lawful means to introduce or excnde
1t as they please, for the reason that slavery can
not exist IL day or an hour anywhere unless it ia
supported by local police regulations Those
police regulations can only be established by
the local Legislature land If the people are op.
posed to slavery, they will elect representatives
to that body who will, by untrlendly legislation,
eHectually prevent the Introduction Of it into
Their midst. IT, on the contrary, they are for
1t their legislation will favor its extension
Hence, no matter what the decision of the SUI
preme Court may be on that abstract question,
still the right OF the people to make slave
territory or free Territory perfect and conf
plete under the Nebraska bill | hope Mr.,
Lincoln deems my answer satisfactory on that
point
Now where does he stand? The sixth resolu
ton OF the platform upon which he stands, and
which he says he accepts in all its intent and
meaning, is as follows:
Resofred, That it is in accordance with the
CINCINNATI platform, that during the existence
OF Territorial Governments the measure of re-
strctlon, whatever it may be, imposed by the
Federal Constitution, on the power of the Ter
Tltorlal Legislature, over the subject of the
Domestic relations as the same has been. or
Shall 81 hereafter be determined by the Supreme
Court OF the United States, should be respect
ed by all good citizens and enforced with
PromptnesS and fidelity by every branch of the
General Government.

JANUARY 10th, 1859.


Whereas, We have again been ad-
monished by the demise of our worthy
brother MAYHEM G.. BRYAN, Of the un
cei tanty Of life, and of the certainty that
the time of our demise is sure. although
unknown to Us. In the strength of man
hood, with a wife and interesting family
to cheer him on his career, he has been
summoned, by the DEGREES of an All-wise
Providence, from his sphere of usefulness
on earth, we hope to better and happier
world. Therefore,
ResolUed, That in the death of Brother
BRYAN, DeSoto Lodge, has lost a useful
and active member, ready at all times to
fulfill all the duties required of him as q
Brother.
Resolred, That we offer our sympathy
and coincidence TO the widow and family
of the deceased, assured that He when
has promised to be "father to the father
less and n husband to the widow" will
not abandon them in their present trial
and bereavement.
Resolved, That the Members wear the
badge of mourning for thirty days, out of
respect TO our deceased brother.

VERy PLAIN TALK. Tho Georgia
papers, says the New Orleans
Commercial Bulletin, evidently do
not like the disunion speech Of the
Hon. Mr.. Gartrell, one Of the Rep
rcsentativcs Of that State in Con-
gress. Tho Griffin Ameriean Union,
referring TO be proceedings Of
Congress, holds towards Mr.. Cart
rcll the following sharp language,
which he will probably understand !:
We see from the report Of the
proceedings IN Congress, that Mr..
Gartrell has made speech on &C.
ccssion, aud contcndod that u State
has the right peaceably to secede
from the Union.
Now, all we have TO say is this /:
IF Mr.. Gartrcll wants to sccedc
from the Union, he is perfectly
welcome to pack up and bc of as
soon IA he pleases, and we hope
that in his porcgrinations he may
come up with some form Of govern
mcnt that suits him better than
this.
Our country would experience n
happy delivoranco If Mr.. Gartrcll,
and all other disunionists like him
would quit and be of M soon ns
possible. Their places might then
be filed with statesmen and pat
riots, who would carry on the gov
ernmcDt AZ il should be done.
The reason that Congress cannot
organize aud proceed to the dis.
charge Of the duties required Of
them, is that there are too many
fanatical simplctons there. They
know how TO keep up row, but
have no capacity for business.
If Mr.. Gartrcll has any Of the
good sense which the Amrrican
UH,on editor does not give him
credit for, we hope before he goes
he will leave us his autograph, n
lock Of hair aud his dagucrreotype.
We would not have him take his
clean shirts and go, without doing
this.

BURYING IN THE Cross RoADs. The
process Of burying in cross roads
has in modern times been regarded
as mark Of indignity; but such was
not its original intention. In an
cient times, sit was usual to erect
crosses at the junction offour roads,
as place self-consecrated, accord
ing to the piety of the age; and it
was not with a notion of indignity,
but in a spirit of charity, that those
excluded from the holy rites were
buried at the crossing roads, as
places next in sanctuary to conse-
Grated ground.-British Magazine.

Out Of 1000 published books, 600
never pay the cost Of printing,

show n substantial gain. Of these
1000 books, $50 arc forgotten by
the end Of the year, and $50 more
at the end of three years, only so
survive seven years publicity. OF
the $4,000 publications put forth
in the seventeenth century, hardly
more than fifty have n great repu-
tation and are reprinted. OF the
$4,000 works published in the
eighteenth century, posierhy has
hardly preserved more than were
rescued from Oblivion in the seven
tccnth century. Men have been
writing books these 300 years, and
there are hardly more than 500
writers throughout the globe who
have survived the outrages of time
and the forgetfulness of man.

BURToN.-The New York corre-
spondent of the Charleston Courier,
says: Burton, the comedian, was still
alive to day. His family are gather
ed around him, and Mt noon to-day
were inomentarily expecting him to
breathe his last. His physician says
that he cannot possibly recover. Like
all men who have been in public life
so long, Burton has many bitter enc
mics and swarms Of warm friends. -
But all alike, now that bis life seems
suspended by single thread, ready
at any instant to be cut by the re.
morseless scythe, forget the wrongs of
the past, and utter secret prayer for
his life. The rumor that Burton had
lost most of his property, must be I'M
true, for he told an intimate friend,
not many months ago, that since he
had given up his theatre in Broad
way, opposite Bond street, and had
been STARRING" through the country
some two years-that he had made
more money than in any equal period
of his career on the stage.

A SAD AFFAlR.-W. ID. Adams. a
planter in Harrisonburg, Louisiana,
n man Of considerable means, and
who has, or rather had, wife and
family, was accidentally killed about
hslfpast IL o'clock night before
last, by falling out of the third story
window Of q house at the corner of
Customhouse and Basin Streets
His visit TO the city was indeed at
tended with shocking consequences,
for to a man in his position of life,
IT death were to come. it would
have been preferable under almost
any other circumstances. He had
been drinking freely, and had gone
into this place and concluded to
sleep there. AT the hour named it
is supposed he became sick, went
to the window, lost his balance and
fell over into the street. He died
IN few minutes of conclusion of

rendered verdict of accidental
death. The deceased was about As
years of age.--Bultetin, 18Th inst.
ESSENCE OF LEMON ExpLosrvE.-A
novel feature of lemon science was

to use some essence of lemon, and
in pouring it out, it took fire from

contents into the face of another
person and burning him badly.

CHATEAU MARGAUx.-The intro
duction OF Chateau Margaux to the
New York bon rironts has been rs.
cribed to Dominick Lynch, but this
is an error. A Mr.. Armitago pur-
chased n lot Of choice Bordeaux in
the city Of Charleston, $. g., where il,
had been for many years, aud brought
il TO this city. When Joseph Bona
parte paid us visit, he put up at the
old Washington Hall, and the man.
ayers Of that famous hotel, Yates and
Mcintyre, were unable for time to
find any wine that would suit the
nice taste Of the ex-king Of Spain
At last they fell in with the Armit-
age wine. ."Ab," said Joseph Bona
parte, "that is the Wine for me-so
long as you give me such, | do not
want any better" This was Chateau
Margaux, of what vintage | know not
The approval of Joseph made the
wine fashionable. After this Lynch
imported it. His famous wine Of
1928, known as Lypch's Chateau
Margaux, is yet to be found in the
cellars Of wine antiquaries. Some
bottles quite sound and good, and of
course exceedingly rare. IL any one
should invite you to dinner, and put
before you bottle of "Lynch," be
sure that man esteems you very high
ly, and you can depend upon his
friendship in the most critical mo-
ment Of your life.-CoszenS ". W
