The Border EGusfialss for Dong
F5S

Missouri was the home and head quarters
Of the Border ruffians who invaded Kansas
and in military array, with drums beating
and colors fying, took possession ofthe polls
and elected pro-slavery Legislature for the
people Of Kansas. That Legislature found
in Douglas its strongest advocate and defen-
der in the Senate Chamber of the United
States 1t was he that proclaimed that the
people of Kansas should be subdued and
made to render obedience to the infamous
slave code of Kansas; and Douglas was the
only Northern Senator that had the boldness
or the barbarity to justify that infamous
statute. The Border Ruffians are under OBJ
legations to Douglas, for he defended their
practical application of his squatter sover
eighty doctrine.
The Missouri Republican, which was The
great organ and advocate of Border ruffian
ism. recognizes their obligation of gratitude
to support Douglas now, and it is rallyinE
its forces with great energy in behalf OF him
The Douglas strength is overwhelming in al
that section ofthe State, wehre the Borde
Ruffians were so rampant. And the sam
men. who, under the promptings of Dougla
and the Missouri Republican, mobbed print
ing offices and lynched Methodist preacher
in Missouri and pcrpetrated an armed inva
sion Of Kansas, are row found under tn
same prompters, shouting for non-interven
ton and the Constitution with the Dred Scot
Interpretation.
Missouri ought to go for Douglas, and,
it fails to do so, there is no use talking

1t has nominated Mr.. Douglas as the

The DANGER OF TIE UNoN.-Judgo Orr,
who is stumping Missouri as an opposition
candidate for governor, ridicules the idea of
danger to the Union from the success of the
Republicans, and tells the following story to
illustrate the assininc character of such
threats:
'The people are beginning to know them
as well as the lion knew the donky, with
whom he was travelling The pair becoming
hungry, the donkey proposed that they
should turn aside to cornfeld. They did
so and the donkey having feasted on its con-
tents was preparin to leave; but the lion said:
"What am to do? cannot eat corn"
"True,' said the donky, "but if you lie in
the bush, here, | viii go into the thicket

that you can catch one when they attempt
to escape" The lion agreed and jackaSs 60

all the deer in it came running out The lion
seized one, and made meal Of she prey
On coming back the donkey with much
conceit asked Didn't scare them -

"sVhat Will EEe do with Id e'

Italian history is full Of startling event
and senic changes But it has none NOR
remarkable than the marvellous success whicl
has crowned the apparently desperate enter
prise of Garibaldi in wrestling Sicily from tht

and fifty pieces were brought into his camp
within week. Recruits flock to him not
only from every village through which he
marches, but from every part of the Island,
and by every vessel that comes from Genoa.
Deserters from the Kings Army are contin

But while matters 90 on thus swimminglv
in the present, dark clouds hang over the
future. The Island can achieve indepen-

question then, viii ,h Garibaldi has to solve.
one which all the crowned heads in Europe
are puzziing over, is, what will he do with
it?
The King of Naples seems to hope that

back to him, and appeals to the other Gov
ernmonts to bring about that result.
The King of Sardinia thinks it should !

Garibaldi himself want to retain the Dicta- |
torship until he can effect similar revolutions
in Naples and perhaps rome and Venice
This he sees he could do more cffectualy
while he is invested with supreme authority,
than after being reduced to his former po-
sition Of general in Victor Emanuers Ar

The Sandman interest fears that in gras-
ping at too much, Garibaldi may lose ALL

Buff left in the hands of Garibaldi, there
is danger that the moment Garibaldi meets
with reverse, it vii! slip back INTO the hands
of the Bourbons, its former masters. Should
Garbaldi's project of Revolutioning Rome,
Naples and Venice fail, he'wouldbe unable to
maintain foothold in Sicily, Should it sue
ceed, who can predict that he would then be
willing to transfer his conquests to Sardinia
or that other European Powers might not
think the time had come for Alliances, Con-
crosses, and general remodelng Of things
to suit themselves?
The question, therefore. remains both an
interesting and puzzling one. "What will

Mr.. Cabell, formerly member Of Con-
gress from Florida, made speech to a
Douglas meeting in st. Louis few even
ings since, and said the reason why he was
in favor of the Ncn-intervcntion doctrine,
was because he knew 1t would be impcssi-
bic to get q Slave Code FROM Congress, and
he was for taking the next best thing for the
interests of Slavery that he could get.-
That's rather frank, isn't it ?--EschangC
paper.
1t is reasonable to presume that mem
Der of Congress possesses considerable abil
ity aid understands the interests of the sec
ton of country he represents. This is con
ceded to Mr. Cabell, and his honest and franz
admission speaks volumes. He and his peo
pie would prefer Slave Code, but realizing
that there is no chance of getting it, he goes
in for taking the next best thing, which un
doubtedly is intervention, or Squattcl
Sovereignty. With it he hopes to entral
free territory in the same manner as New
Mexico was entrapped; and this Mr.. Dong
las, in his speech in the Senate last May
claims was done through non-intervention
The fact of Mr. Cabcll casting anchor by
this principle is ominous. 1t causes think

Having occupied so much space on thi
head, have but little room for remark o.
the other topics embraced in your inquiry
In respect to talents, doubt if Mr.. Lincol
IS even here, as yet, appreciated as he deser
YES to be, and as he most certainly will b
at no distant day, Counting, as | do, hi
election as sure) by all who are capable O
discerning and appreciating true merit. Whil
possessing undoubtedly the consciousness o
intellectual strength, he lacks entirely tn,
obtrusive effrontery which bring some ner
into notice, and gives them sometimes an
ephemerh reputation for ability, while the
plainness and simplicity of his style, and the
transparent fairness of every presentation
which be makes in his public speeches, seem
to have led some to overlook the real breadth
and comprehensive speed Of the thoughts to
which he often gives birth and Inference
But if foriginalty and suggestiveness, fertility
OF resource, powers of analysis, and of ex-
pressing in terse and simple language great
truth, or of laying bare at single stroke the
false position of an adversary, however artful-
ly cloaked, are indications of ability and
talents, then may Mr.. Lincoln take rank, so
far as can judge, among the leading intel
lects Of the day.
But what need to elaborate this point,
when we have before us the commanding
fact, that without early education, without
patronage, or any accident ofbil th, or fortune,
or art of the trickster or delnagogue-but in
simple trust TO his native energies, and te.
nacious adherence to principle throughout his
whole course Gall ofwhich is susceptible Of
easy proof, he has risen gradually yet surely,
and with no back-set, from the condition
of day laborer to the proud position he
now occupies before the country and the
world. | know that success is not always
evidence Of true merit, but it would be little
short Of mil acle if a man of the character Of
Abraham Lincoln should win success with
out talents to justify his victory.
And, lastly, as to his qualifications for the
Presidency-these may, in good measure, be
Inferred from what has already said. To the
qualities thus accorded to him may be added
d thorough comprehension of the nature,
history, and workings of our institutions,
and the politics, past and present, of the
country, with no mean acquisitions Of gene
raj knowledge a courage, moral and physi-
cal, and firmness of purpose, which those
who know him best most readily accord to
him, coupled with a conciliating spirit and a
just regard for the rights of individuals "''u
States, singularly refined anu characteristic
with attanments as ajurist that will not be
questioned-if these constitute fitness for
the Presidential Office, then, in my Judgment,
Mr.. Lincoln will fill it with dignity and honor

to the country, and to the aohOle country.
Very truly, your friend, j. K. C.
