Cobden-Emperors take His Counsels

Boys, (for that class of our readers we must
occasionally address, are you not inspired by
the example Of the success Of men who came
from the humble walks Of life and developed
the power within, in an honest and steady aim
to be useful Look at the fact that the En-
peror Of France, now y the summit Of power
and influence, has called Cobden, one Of the
free.trade party Of England, to his palace, to
confer with him. His counsel was enacted
Into law. Richard Golden, M. p, is native
of Midhhrt, Snssex, England, whore heIwas
born about 1900. His father was farmer.
The lad took an humble place in London
warehouse, and from clssk became pro-
prietor. Soon hs travelled to the United
States and over Europe. Energetic and skill
full, he was prosperous In business in Lanca-
shire. He rivalsd and surpassed Manchester
manufacturers in Che tasteful style of his
printed fabrics. He used his pen to advan-
tage In pamphlst-wrising. His views Of FREQ
trade we're sst forth In the tract "E "Epglaud,
Ireland and America" also IN "Russia." He
showsd that the Great Bear had not 90 powerful
a paw or hug after all. Hsmaintained that the
real way to render tho great Northern State
friendly toward England was TO establish q
free and profitable. trade between the two
Countries. He brought about the repeal Of
tho Corn Law, In ls4l he was sent to Par
lament from Stockport, but since has been the
representative Of ths West Riding. He got
the Gear Of The house" Ivy his straightforward
business-like way Of dealing with facts in his
speeches, by his clearness and esrnestness,
and by the courage with which he stated and
maintained his views. He but recently
obtained the Gear" of Napoleon, who has heard
and practiced.
On the repeal Of the Corn Law, obtained by
his indomitable energy, and the innate power
Of the cause, he was presented with a purse
containing $3oo, 900. He retired from Cotton
printing, and has given all his time to pol.
itics--ths politics Of q peace -lssgus, Of the
ballot, Of the. extension Of the suffrage, of
short parliamsnts, Of financial reform, and of
the repeal Of the taxes on knowledge. /.
This mans usefulness and triumph should
be an exciting example to Young America.

From Washington.


WASHINGTON, February 16.--The COMMITTEES
election case Of the Third Congressional Dis.
trict Of New York. 3.aead lat 51ai ,
Mr.. williamson, the contestant, made a
statement, to which Mr.. Sicklss replied, ask
ing further time to put in his points. Hs
takes the ground that, in consequence of the
failure Of Mr.. Williamson to serve him with a
notice, the contestant is out of court and can
not be heard on the merits of his case.
Mr.. Williamson replied that, owing to the
failure Of the State Csnvassers to make such
declaration as contemplated by the act of
Congress, there was no sitting member to no.
tify, and by virtue of the action of that body,
there was no way left for him to compel the
attendance of witnesses under the act. The
case was then postponed till Tuesday next. (,
$ The Committee will ask for the appointment
ofa commissioner to take testimony, so that the
case may be decided on its merits. 256 bills
and resolutions, merely for the purpose of ref
erence, were introduced into the House to day,
larger number thang ever before introduced
in single day.
Augustus Wattles, formerly one Of the sdi.
tors Of tho Herald of Freedom, and an old
friend Of John Browns, arrived here to-day,
and will, during the week, give bis testimony
before the Harper's Ferry Investigating Com
mittee.
A Committee consisting Of Messrs., Ham.

DOUGLAS A MERE rnoL.

. When a woman boasts Of her imprcgnable
virtue, or man boasts OF his valor. there is
reason to doubt both. Douglas boasts of his
Independence; consequently, men Of obscrva-
ton will entertain strong doubts of that mat
ter. One thing is certain, that in the repeal
Of the Missouri Compromise, he acted as the
mere tool Of Atchison, as may be readily seen
by the following extract from speech Of
Gen. Atchson, made at Atchison City, Kansas,
in September 1854, which is now republshed
by the Chicago Press and Tribune
"For myself am entirely devoted to the interests Of
tho South and would sacrifice everything but my hope
Of Heaven TO advance her welfare lie thought the Mis-
souri, Compromise ought to be repealed he had pledged
himself in his public addresses to vote forno territorial
gani2aton that would virtually annul it and with
this feeling n his heart he desired to be the Chairman VI
the senate Committee on Territories when bill was
introduced.
"wth this object in view be- had private interview
with Mr. Ulug.t. and informed him Of what he desired
the introduce. ON Of bill for Nebraska like what he had
promised TO vote for and that hc would like 20 De Char-
man OF the Committee Territories ia order intro
duco such measure; and IL he would get that position
he would Immediately resign as President Of the Senate
Judge Douglas requested twenty four hours 90 consider
the matter, and IT, at The expiration Of that time he could
not introduce such bin as he (Atchsou) proposed which
would at Che same time accord with bis oi us-
ucc to iho South, he would resign Chairman OF the
Territorial Committee ia Democratic caucus, and exert
his influence TO get him lAchison) appointed At the
expiration " the given time Senator Douglas siguihcd
bis intention to introduce such bin as had been spoken
Not being exactly ready to resign his posi-
ton as Chairman of the Committee on Ter
ritorios, Mr.. Douglas, at the imperious de-
mand of Atchison, did the other thing" on
the twenty-third day OF January, 1854, by re-
porting the substitute bill, dividing Nebraska
in two territories, and providing for the re-
peal of the Missouri compromise
That "twenty-four hours humbly asked
10y Douglas Of Atchisou, was doubtless "pray-
