tories of this blessed Union. Now
has not he always been acting in the
advancement Of the slave interests
lie has so, even while he has pro-
tcsscd to love freedom and to be it's
Jealous promoter. What, then, will
he do, since he has sold himself. soul
and body, to slavery? What? Where
shall we find him? Opposing slavery
extension? No, no, not there. Can
he, with his record and avowed politi-
cal principles, be favorable to Lin
coins triumph over Brcckinridge, in
the least degree? He well knows
what Lncoln's course and the course
Of tho Republican Party would be.
He knows that they would prove death
to his favorite scheme. And why
should he covet that which he knows
would thus prove fatal to his dearest
and most carefully cherished interests
the universal extension and triumph
of Slavery?
That Breckinridge is a true pro-
slavery man, and yet firm Union
man, nobody doubts. Douglas enter
tains no doubt of it. But still lie
must see his defeat to be inevitable.
These points of fact being considered,
it would indicate that Douglas has no
definite aim in his latter labors in the
campaign F.; only to build up and ad-
vance the cause Of slavery generally.
Let not the Republicans be deceived
by the fair pretentions Of pro-slavery
men, that Douglas favors their sue
cess. The folds Of the willy SER
pent, slavery, may seem to move in
various directions-may seem to move
in our favOrite course but when
closely examined it is found to lie
heading, always, to the same point,
and drawing its folds, though devil
Gus, after it. All the Republicans
will gain they will earn and every
inch Of ground they gain they will
have to contend for to the teeth. Let
them make no reliance whatever upon
Democratic favor. Douglas may cave
on his own score, but not for Slavery.

AUTUMNAL TINE.
DY ISAAC NJ CLELLAS.

Now in celestial robes are drest,
The fair autumnal skies
Magnificent in royal pomp.
Rich with resplendent dyes;
When all the blended glories,
That flush the arch q rainbow,
Along the sunset heavens
In rare ctfulgence glow,
Each form and hue of beauty,
And each enchanting grace,
On cloud, on stream, On forest
And mountain top | trace;
In woods. the regal naples
Wear each diadcm
The oaks are strung with Jewels,
Each color i leaf gem.
With wrcaths and chaplets garlanded,
The bending woodlands stand,
All radiant aS the gardens,
III the enchanted land;
Waving all its Haunting banners,
Fair the landscape beams,
Fair as that celestial country,
In the fairy-!a land of dreams.
Dropping fruits from laden orchards
Stain with ripcn wealth the ground
All the woods around are vocal
With the childrcn's Joyous sound:
Reapcrs in the harvest fields
Bind the rustling shcaycs Of grain;
And the golden Indian corn,
Heaps the loaded vain.
Now the cidcr-prcss its nectar
Poureth in constant tide.
Now the purple grapes are gatherd,
BY the rushing rivers tide;
From the dusty thrcshing floor
Sounds loud the busy fail,
And the moonlight nights are joyous
With the dance and tale.
o, merry autumn with thy days
So gloriously bright;
Thy rosy dawns, thy dewy ewes,
Thy harvest moons ut night;
Methinks in all the varied year,
There no such happy time,
As when the gay autumnal days
Are in maturest prime.

The Governments portion OF the re-

all of which was permitted to remain
in his hands uncal!cd for by the Post
master General, for three or fouc
years after Mr.. Lincoln resigned the
office and removed to Springfield,
where he now lives. In the mean
time Mr.. Kendall, having succeeded
Mr.. Barry in the Post office Depart

is quite exhausted, and you succumb
to his gable without even having a
chance to say, Humph !" to it.
He seems to remember everything
he ever heard, saw, or experienced,
and though he may have told you the
same story fifty times before, he
thinks you have forgotten it, and feels
in duty bound to make you fully ac-
quainted with all the facts and details
of the case, and telling one story
makes him think of another, until il
seems there is no end to the talk.
