EEAYY RAINS.

As fur as We hove able to learn, the rains Of the
last week have been general. On Wednesday night
last the heaviest rain we have seen in this section Of
country for several years fell, and repenished the
exhausted arrnFS and streams Since then, there
has been cousta, succession Of heavy showers,
oonpanicd with thunder, lightning aud wind. Alto
gether, the season has been most proptious for the
young corn, ard the farmers augur n most prolific
crop. Trinity arose rapidly, and Sunday evening it
had oyerilowed its banks, and was spread over the
extensive bottom opposite Dallas, presenting very
extensive display Of water works, suggestive of nav
isation and steamboats, 1t issa dby those who claim
TO be posted IN fuch matters, that the corn crop is
secure from the hcuntful rains that have fallen (;
and that If more should fall that the earth will
remain sufficiently moist to mature the ensuing crop

Mr.. President and FelZo,c- Citizens of
the city Of Nelc lorh: The facts with
which i shall deal this evening are
mainly old and familiar; nor is there any
thing new in the general use | Shall max G
of them If there shall be any novelty,
it will be III the mode of presenting the
facts, and the inferenccs and observations
following that presentation. In his
speech last autumn, at Columbus, Ohio,
as reported in the New York Times, SEN
ator Douglas said:
"Our fathers, when they framed the Gov
ernment under which VIC live, understood this
question just as well, and even better than we
do now'
| fully endorse this, and adopt it as a
text for this discourse. [Applause. |
so adopt it, bccause it furnishes precise
and agreed starting point for a discussion
between Republicans and that wing of the
Democracy headed by Senator Douglas.
1t simply leaves the inquiry, What Was
the understanding those fathers had Of
the question mentioned2 What is the
frame of government under which we live !?
The answer must be, the Constitution Of
the United States. That Constitution
consists Of the original, framed in 1877,
(aud under which the present Government
fist went into operation, and twelve sub
sequently-framed amendments, the first
ten of which were framed in 1889. Who
were our fathers that framed the Consti-
tuition? | suppose the "thirty nine
who signed the original instrument may
be fairly called our fathers who framed
that part of the present Government. 1t
is almost exactly true to say they framed
it, and it is altogether true to say they
fairly represent the opinion and sentiment
of the whole nation at that time. Their
names, being familiar to nearly all, and
accessible to quite all, need not now be
repeated. | take these thirty-nine,"
for the present, as being "our fathers who
framed the Government under which we
live" What is the question which, ac-
cording to the text, those fathers under
stood Just as well, and even better, than
we do now? 1t IS this Does the proper
division Of local from Federal authority,
or anything in the Constitution, forbid
our Federal Government to control as to
slavery in our Federal Territories Upon
this Douglas holds the affirmative, and
Republicans the negative. This afirma-
tive and denial form an issue; and this
issue, this question, is precisely what the
text declares our fathers understood bet
ter than we. Cheers Let US now in
quire whether the =" thirty-niue," or any
of them, ever acted upon this question;
and if they did, how they acted upon it
-.-how they expressed that better under
standing. In 1884, three years before
the Constitution, the United States then
owning the Northwestern Territory, and
no other, the Congress Of the Confedera-
tion had before them the question of pro-
hbiting slavery in that Territory; ard
four OF the " thirty nine" who afterwards
framed the Constitution were In that Con
gress, and voted on that question. OF
these, Roger Sherman, Thomas Mifiin

ugh !" it said, and blazed up in a
clear flame " Ugh ! that burning wasn't
very pleasant work"
When, however, the whole was in
flames, it strcamcd higher up in the air
than the fax had ever been able to lift
it's little blue flowers, and shone' as the
white linen had never shone. All the
written letters upon it were for moment
bright red, and then all the words and
all the thoughts vanished in the flames.
Now I shall rise directly to the sun" ;"
It cried from the flames. And it was as
if thousands of voices repeated the cry
and the flames rushed up through the
chimney high into tie air. And finer
than the flames, invisible to mortal eyes,
auttered about tiny little beings, even as
many as there had been flowers upon the
fax. They were lighter even than the
flames from which they had sprung into
existence; and when the latter disap-
peared, and only the black ashes of the
paper remained, they ran over them like
little red sparks. The children came
out Of school, and the schoolmastcr was
the last of ALL" That was good sport,
and the children sang over the dead
ashes
"schnipp, schnapp, schnurre,
Basselurre;
The song is done"
But the little invisible beings said;
"The song is never done-that is the
beauty ef all. | know it, and, therefore,
| am still the happiest thing in the whole
world"

THE RIVER PATH.

BY JOHN G. WHITTIER.
No birdHsong floatcd down the hill,
The tangled bank below was still
No rustic from the birchen stem,
No ripple from the waters hem.
The dnst of twilight round US grew,
We felt the falling of the dew
For from us eer the day was done,
The wooded hills shut out the sun.
But on the rivers farther side
We saw the hill-tops gIorifed-
\ tender glow, exceeding fair,
A dream of day without its glare.
With us the damp, the chill, the gloom;
With them the sunsets rosy bloom;
While dark through wfllowy vistas seen,
The river rolled in sLade between.
From ont the darkness where we trod
We gazed upon the hills of God,
Whose light seemed not Of moon or sun,
we spoke not, but our thought was one.
We paused, as if from that bright shore
Reckoned the dear ones gone before;
And stilled our beating hearts to hear
The voices lost to mortal ear
Sudden our pathway turned from night;
The hills swung open to the light;
Thro' their green gates the sunshine showed
A long, slant splendor downward flowed.
Down glade and glen and bank it rolled;
1t bridged the shaded stream with gold;

The Story of the Flax.
BY UANS ANDERSEN.


The fax was in full bloom its delicate
little flowers were blue as the heavens
and fine as the wing of the butterfly
The sun shone upon it, and the rain wa
tered il; and this was to the fax just the
same as it is to little children, when they
have their faces washed and receive a
kiss from their mothers-they look so
much prettier.
"PeopIe say that stand up so straight
and strong,' said the flax, and that |
shall be so very long, | shall make a
beautiful piece of linen. Oh how happy
am ! am certainly the happiest per
son in tho whole wide world. Every
thing is SO good to me, aud in the end [
shall become something of use III the
world. How the sunshine rejolces one,
and how the rain refreshes one. [ am
immeasureably happy; l am the happiest
of all"
"Ho, ho," said the thorn n-hedge; "you
know nothing of the world, that's clear !
but we know it, for we have thorns."
And then it snapped out Grossly:
"Schnipp, schnapp. schnuEre,
Bassrlurre
The song is done"
"No, it isn't done," said the fax ''to-
morrow the sun will shine or the rain
will tall with its refreshing showers. L
feel that | blossom. am the happiest
ia the whole world"
But one morning came the work-pec-
pie, seized the fax by the head, and pull
ed it up by the root-how 1t did burst
Aud then they laid it in water, as if they
wished to drown it, and then 1t was put
over the fire, as if they were going to
roast it. 1t was very dreadful,
Zone can't always have good fortune" !"
said the fax. Gone must pass through
trouble; then one becomes wise"
And trouble after trouble did come
upon it. 1t was steamed, and cooked,
and broken, and hacked, till it did not
know itself what all was done to it
Then it came upon the spinning-wheel.
Schnurr, schnurr 1t was impossible to
keep ones thoughts together there.
II have been SO very happy" 1t
thought, amidst all its pain; cone must
be content with the good which one has
received. Content to be content. O.
And that it still said when it came
upon the loom and from that 1t came
forth large and beautiful piece of linen.
All the fax, to the very smallest stem,
was contained in that one piece.
This is truly extraordinary. lnever
could have believed that fortune would
be SO kind to me. The thorn-hedge GER
tainly did not know what it was talking
about with its 'Schnipp, schnapp,
schnurre, basselurre' The song isn't
by any means done. 1t commences now,
really, for the first time. 1t is allso very
strange to me. am paid now for all my
sufferings. | am the hapPicst OF all l
am SO strong and SO fine, so white and SO
long. This is somewhat different from

Ilcan speech

Col. Evans, editor OF the Baltimore Pa
triot, made manly and fearless speech at
Republican meeting in New York recently.
lie declared that he was a member of the
"Amerioan" party, but Endorsed the Chicago
platform, and was ready to vote for Lincoln.
lie said:
The heaven was spreading in the South
Marylan Virginia and Kentucky would each
give them several thousan votes. The
Southern descendants Of the men v BIO periled
their lives for freedom would stand for free
dom still. lie had received an anonymous
letter telling him that unless be ceased to
proclaim his attachment for Lincoln, he
would be compelled to leave Baltimore, and
be had told y friend ihen that on the 9th of
November next, live or die, survive or perish,
If IL was the last not OF his life, he would
cast an open ballot for Lincoln and liamlin
lLong ana continued applause. col. Evans
told how the Baltimore Patriot has been pro.

voters, Make Your own Choice.
Douglas says that his "great principle"
made New Mexico slave Territory, and be
exhorts Us 30 glorify his gur-reat principle.
His principle makes slave Territories, and
slave Territories make slave States,-such
as Mississippi and Arkansas. Our principle,
on the other hand, makes free Territories,
and free Territories make free States, like
Ohio and Iowa.
Which is the best principle? the tree is
known by it's fruits. One principle produces
the States of Mississippi and Arkansas, and
the other the States of Ohio and Iowa. IF
the people regard the character and condition
of Mississippi and Arkansas as preferable to
that of Ohio and Iowa, let them, by oil
means, vote for Douglass principle, and
they will have just such States growing ont
of our Territories. But, If they prefer Ohio
and Iowa to Mississippi and Arkansas. le,
them vote for the policy which excludes
slavery from the Territories, and the Terri
tories will deveope into such States as Ohio
ahu ioWa' Every inhn Nho SNAIL put iu
ballot at the Presidential election will vot,
either in favor of making free States or slav,
States of the Territories. lie will vote fo
having the territory OF the United State
carved up for our children into such State
as Ohio and Iowa, or set apart for slave
holders plantations to constitute such State,
as Mississippi md Arkansas. And each per
son who votes is morally as responsible TO
the result as If he were the sole sovereign
instead of one of many, who makes free o.
slave States out Of our Territories

"Ths trick of the clique claiming TO think
and act for the masses In 1850, lost the 6rst
Congressional District OF Iowa, to the old
Wing party for three Congressional terms"
The matter here referred to 10 this. Mr..
Miller had been elected to Congress 10 IS48
as Wing, over the Hon. VIM. Thompson,
Democrat, by uniting on himself the Nor
mon vote of KaDesville, and the settler vote
Of Lee county, although the Democratic party
was strongly in the ascendant in the District.
In 1850, the Whig Convention OF the Dis
trict nominated Judge Wright for Congress,
over Mr.. Miller, who was an applicant. IL
is true that Judge Wright was beaten at TIE
election, because be could not, like Mr. Mil
Ter, obtain either the Mormon vote OF Kanes-
Vile or the settler vote of Lee county. As
to the motives which governed the oonven-
ton in choosing Judge Wright over Mr.. Mil.
Ter, have nothing to Say beyond what is
known to the public. have every reason to
suppose that that convention represented
fairly It's constituents, and what evidence Mr..
Miller has that that convention was clique
or resorted TO any trick to beat him, | do
not know. | must leave il to the public to
Judge il bis remark is founded in truth, or is
the offspring OF the modification OF defeat,
cherished for ten years and revived DOW be-
cause II 10 the prime motive for his becoming
a candidate for office in opposition to Judge
Wright. II 10 matter Of public notoriety,
that since Judge Wright's acceptance OF that
nomination in 1850, be has been the object
of MIR. Miller's unrelenting hostility and in
csssant abuse.
| When we consider these evidences OF Mir.
Miller's personal enmity to Judge Wright,
and the enormous pressure upon him BY
nineteen Democrats and four Republicans TO
run for this high office in opposition TO Judge
| lie, both Republican and Democr how
| far Mr.. Miller lie influenced by his s'higt
sense of public duty" and his desire to vim
dictate popular suffrage from the usurps
tions of the Republican Central Committee
twill perhaps aid the public in forming
its opinion OF how MIR. Miller would have re
garded the nomination of q convention, j
one bad been called, to remember that just
year ago he opposed with energy, both II
the public prints and private conversation
the election of Judge Lowe and Judge Stock
ton, both of whom had been nominated il
full convention Of the party.
Repeating that | should in silence hav
permitted Mr. Miller to pursue his owl
course, IL he had not 50 nercely an
so unnecessarily nssailed the commiste
of which am q member, for its action re
commanded by nyself, leave the matter t

But cannot close without stating my per
sonai conviction that Judge Wright has ha
. no superior on the Supreme Bench OF low
during the ten years that hsvepracticed bt
