Dou.laA'& Attact< upon Sesyard--.Can
1t be Isxpiafned3


The politicians here who ere familiar with the
senatorial course Of bo1l Mr. Douglas and Ar.
Seward find it verv difficult to account-for the
style Of the attack Of the Illinois Senator rpon
the Senator from New York. Even in, the old
days of tie kansas. Nebraska debate, when Ar.
Douglas spit his venom upon Senators Sumner,
Wade, Wilson, Hale aud Chase, be was in the
habit OF treating nr. Seward With considerable
courtesy-ail that he was master Of. But since
tie great Dou las rebellion the two men haye
been on rcry different footing with each 9th.
el. Two winters ago they were SO intiulate that
Dir. Seward IVES positively in tavor Of the re.
election OF Mr. Douglas to the Senate Why?
Mr. Seward could tell # he plensed, and SO
could q half dozen ether Republican sena.
tors, and the reply would accomplish the
political ruin Of Ar. Douglas. Why, then,
should he have singled out 3ir. Seward for
such nbuse? There cnn be but one reason he
knew 3lr. Seward's temperament, and tha; no
provccation would start:c him from lis balance.
almost any other Republican there who pos.
sessed the facts respecting Mr. Douglas posi-
tion two years ago would have rctaliated on the
spot by making disclosures, but Mr. Seward is
always so cool TINT no amount Of bullying
would provoke him to betray the confidence
even OF the bully himself.
3lr. Douglas, toultltss, had another purpose.
lie has been much troubled all winter with the
assertions Of southern politicians that two years
ago be was arranging with tue hepuplfcans LOT
q caritufation 10 them. This has been the story
whics, many southern democrats have asserted
will not give an opinion as to its truth. For
Mr.. Douglas to make most abusive aud insult
ing reply 10 Mr. Seward was taking the bull By
the horns. and doing great deal to cou:ince
southern Democrats that be was never in ALI,
ancc with him, and never discussed with Mr.
Seward, Or auy of his brother senators, the pro-
priety Of ioiniug them Inside the Republican
party. If this was the purpose Of the speech,
it can be understood; iflt was not, thore is nc
rational explanation oft.

i Citizen OF 11cHenry County Killcd
by indians.
From the Woodstock EeptIset1

Last Spring young man named Deming, re-
siding ut Harvard, left TINT place for Pixies
Pca!., in company with many others. When
near there. alter suffering incredible harlships,
he turned back; but being joinea By his brother
John on the Missouri river, concluded to start
our for California, although hc was regarded as
being in dying condition. All along tho route
lie was SO sick tha: scarce day passed but the
company were delayed on his account. Finally,
they reached California, and the sick Deming
in measure recovered.
On the 21th Of January last John Dem;ng
went out hunting, and not returning at the time
expected, his brother became alarmed, and see
ing i number Of Indian tracks around, thought
that John had probably been foully dealt With,
and went to the nsighboring miners for aid
When he returned be found that the Indians
had been to the hut in lis absence. rnnsackcd it
Of all its valu Ablca, and stolen the horses. 4
company Of miners went in pursuit Of the lndi-
ans, who they overlook, and induced them to
restore the stolen property. The Indians were
numerically much stronger than the Miners,
and it was not thought best to attack them; con-
aequeatly the death Of youug Deming was un-
avenged,
The body vas found, shot through the head,
and was buried By his frisrds.
The father of the deceased is Jedc1iah Dem
ing, of Harvard, an old resident Of that neiyt-
borhood. We learn these facts from letter
which was 1ccsiscd last week by Henry Fitch,
Esq, of this place, from his son Cyrus, who is
now in California.

mr.. Douglas and Gov. Chase bctoro
tile charleston Convention.

The critical problem before the South at this
moment Is two.fold. Southern politicians are
intensely engaged in trying to mark out pro-
gramme By which to effect the double object Of
cIccting Democratic President and preserving
the Union. Thus far, they have cast about in
vain to find tue eiemcnts Of insured SUCCESS in
that connection. The old recipes for such emer-
gcuc,cs hare been exhausted. They wouldn't
do auy longer. They are as yalueless as oyster
shells nfter tue oyster has been eaten. Those
who want fresh oysters must seek fresh
placer OF oysters. Politicians who want to make
President must conss'se pew ires,dsntfal
programme; they must wisely and boldly act
upon The theory that the emergency is peculi4r
mud calls for peculiar e1pedieuts. This light is
beginning to dawn; and though the general
darkness OF the hour may prevent others from
fully comprehendiug it, We think we DO: The
gentleman whose letter on the Presidential
question, has also caught glimpse Of this
its beams. From his own standpoint his
argument is irrefragah1e-as lmpenctrable as
Achilles armof, and as trcncEnnt as Saladin's
ci,nitar. And ut that standpoint is the stand
point of all who subordinate er y other pollt1.
cul consideration to the election Of the Demo-
cratic Presidential nominee and the preservation
Of the Union. The sole thing to consider in se-
icciing candidate is availability first aud last.
Tint is tue Alpha and Omega Of the calculation
The process Of determining tic question is like
sum in tho rule Of three. For instance: grant
that Mr. Douglas, Democrat, sound on all
points but one. is worthy Of Recommendation to
Southern preference in proportion as thu: un-
sou ,duess recommends him to Northern sup
port; then, if Governor Chase, also a sound
Democrat on all points but one, is By reason Of
/ bis distinguishes unsoundness in that particular,
exactly three times as popular ut tho North as
Mr. Douglas, it must follow that Governor Chase
has exactly three tunes the claims to Southern
preferences Us Ar. Douglas. No well informed
politician will assert that Governor Chase does
not possess ut least three times the strength OF
| Mr. Douglas at the North; and as the Demo
| cratid nominee he would be certain to sweep
the Northern States with scarcely tue shadow
Of opposition. The case is, therefore, as clear
as mathematical demonstration. II electine
the Democratic nominee and preserving thu
| Union is the primary object Of patriotic desire
the nomination Of Governor Chase would bt
! one pye.eminently 6t to be made. His incom
parable availability is m immense fact; hi'
| election would be an invincible certainty. !
Seward we're only sound on free trade. lnterna
improvements, strict construction, and 50 forth
he would be still more available. indeed super
latiyelY available; and the Southern Democra
cy could not hesitate to run him for the Presi
| dent. But as Seward could not dcceptly pas

Our Republican majority last year, instead Of

year what is called q " Democratic" victory, is
neither more nor less than rum and lager vic
tory, which is viewed by every good citizen as
a stain and disgrace to the city. The Repub-
licans have elected three oftheirticket, aud bad
liquor has secured tho rest, by SO close rote
that when it comes to be averaged, it amounts
to little or nothing. Wewere SO confident Of a
clear majority that VIC made no effort, and thus
allowed the dogge1ies to get the upper hand.

pared for them next fall, when you may expect
