In the debate, in the Senate, on Monday
last, after Mr.. FOSTER, of Connecticut, had
concluded speech in which be charged
the existing troubles upon the Democratic
party, Mr.. DOUGLAS said:
Mr.. DOUGLAS. Mr.. President, only rise
to express my regret that the Senator from
Connecticut should have deemed it consis-
tent with his duty to try to bring party
politics, and party discussion, into this
question at this time. had hoped that we
could lay aside our party fcuds until we had
saved the country; and then, if we must,
let us quarrel about who shall govern it
afterwards. 1 am ready to act with any
party, with any individual of any party,
who will come to this question with an eye
single to the preservation of the Constitu-
ton and the Union. Manifestations of
appreciation in the gallery.] 1 trust we
may lay aside all party grievances, party
feuds, partisan jealousies, and look to our
country, and not to our party, in the con.
sequences of our action. Sir, am as good
a party man as any one living, when there
are only party issues at stake, and the fate
of political parties to be provided for. But,
sir, if know myself, do not desire to hear
the word party, or to listen to any party
appeal, while we are considering and dis
cussing the questions upon which the fate
OF the country now hangs. Applause in
the galleries..

Majority against Lincoln. .

Majority against Lincoln. ..... 974.47s
The Minnesotsan of yesterday gives US
light. 1t shows what 100000 of Ameri-
can citizens voted for in that election, and
what nearly 100000 voted against. The
election of ABRAHAM LINCOLN, according to
that enterprising Journal
''Has decided tina, Congress shall not enact,
neither for the territories nor for anywhere
else, laws authorizing one man to hold another
man in bondage, to fog him. to rob him of his
labor, to tear from him his wife, to drag from
his children, carrying his sons into hopeless
slavery and barbarism, and his daughters to
unending concubinage and prostitution
And it is upon such stuff, twaddle, and
nonsense as this, that reliance is placed to
prevent the conservative masses uniting in
one last effort to preserve the best govern.
ment on earth. Just think of it. Accord
ing to this JOHN BROWN sheet, 100000
American citizens at the last election, voted
for laws authorizing ''robbery," slavery"
"barbarism," "concubinage," and "prostitu-
tion." The Disunionists are not only hard
up for arguments, but they underrate the
intelligence of the people.

FOm New Mexico.

ANDhr ENDhNCE, HAO.i O0O. Aos
The New Mexican mail, in charge of
Conductor Coon, with dates to the Goth,
arrived last night.
Mr.. Whiting, Postmaster at Santa Fe,
came through as passenger. He reports
very dull times in New Mexico. Also, that
the Indian troubles on the plains are as
suming very serious aspect. At McNees
Greek the mail party was charged upon by
thirty Camanches, and it was only by deci-
ded and prompt action that they were not
overpowered by them. The Indians were
well armed with rifles. After OBTAINING the
mail about an hour, they left the mail party
and then retreated to a train seven miles
behind them.
The outgoing mail was also forced to re.
turn to Pawnee Fork.
Mr.. Whiting says that from the Cimorne
to Pawnee Fork, Indians were seen every
day on the high ridges, and that there is no
doubt but they will cut off all small parties
travelling the road. Since the raid on Mr..
Walker, a few days ago, and the subsequent
killing of the two men that escaped, the citi.
zeus of this country have organized them
selves into patrol companies, and should
any more such bands make their appear
ance, they will be harshly dealt with.

SUFFERING IN New YoRK.-The New
York Evsning Post says it is feared that
some cases Of actual starvation among the
families of laborers working in the Brook
Ign Navy Yard really exist. No money
having been received from the treasury lately
payment could not of course be made, and
from the provision dealer to the landlord, all
refuse any longer to trust the poor work.
men. Even officers, who too often live up
to their income, experience the most painful
embarrassments from the same cause. Their
honor and positions are jeopardised because
OF their Inability to meet their usual pecu-
mary obligations. The Post knows some
gentlemen who suffer wretchedly for want of
funds. The poor women, too, who receive
drafts for half pay from their husbands
cannot obtain dollar.

And is it not admirably calculated to allay

country? If moose was put around every

South, we would soon have different state

To understand the basis upon which this
table is made out, we will state that in
every district in which Democratic men,
Der Of Congress was elected, an anti-Lin-
coin Presidential elector would also have
been chosen had the vote been given by dis
tricts. For example, Lincoln gets the
whole thirty-fve votes in n. York, where
as eleven districts elected Democrats tot Con-
gress, and he would therefore have got only
twenty-four votes instead of thirty.fve;
and so it was in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indi-
ana and the other States quoted above.
These are curious facts.

The Union OF tho British Provinces.

The London Court Journal announces
that the Duke Of Newcastle is devotiDg
considerable attention to plan for consol-
idating all the North American colonies
into one confederation. This was favor
tie project with Sir BULwER LYTToN, while
Colonial Secretary. The feasibility of the
plan no doubt occurred to the Duke of
Newcastle during his recent visit to the
United States with the Prince of Wales.
He must have seen in the contrast between
its condition and that of the British posses
sicns that the federal system is better
adapted to develope the resources of the
latter than that Of separate legislatures,
each having distinct interests and pursuing
different policy from the others. In point
of territory the eonfederated colonies would
cover nearly as large an area as the settled
portion of the United States. In its rela-
tions with the latter there is perhaps no
plan that could be devised that would tend
more to maintain undisturbed the separate
interests of the two regions, or to perma-
nently preserve to Great Britain the alle-
glance of her subjects at this side of the
Atlantic.
The Herald hopes that the English
government may be induced to amend the
scheme so as to include the New England
ers in it. 1t would save US a world of
trouble, by linking them in a tight leash
with the Arcadian Bluenoses and the
Canadian Orangemen.

The NOrth-West.-.The Right Kind
Of Talk.

Mr.. VALLAND1GHAM, of Ohio, made a
speech in the House on the motion to ex-
cuse Mr.. HAWKINS, of Florida, from SER
vice on the special committee. We extract
paragraph, brim-full of truth, and the
right spirit:
II speak now as a western man and
thank the gentleman from Florida heartily,
for the kindly sentiments toward that great
West, to which he has given utterance
Most cordially 1 reciprocate them, one and

dred miles of southern frontier, and but a
little narrow strip of eighty miles, or less,

The Progress of the War IN China.


The allied English and French forces in
China, have penetrated at last accounts, to
within sir miles of Pekin. This was on the
23d OF September. On the 18th and 2lst
of that month, engagements took place be-
tween the allies and the Chinese. On both
occasions 10000 Tartar cavalry advanced,
and were completely routed by the Allies.
Two thousand Tartars we're killed and fifty
guns taken. The Allies had only eighteen
wounded. A ABORTION of Lord ELG1N's suite,
and the London Times correspondent, were
made prisoners, Immediately after the above
engagements, while accommodating, and we're
conveyed to Pekin. They were kindly
treated. The Chinese were anxious for
peace, and the Emperor's brother had been
commissioned to treat, but Lord ELa1N re-
fused to enter into negotiations until the
prisoners were given up. Speaking of
probable attack on Pekin, in the event of
the failure Of negotiations, the Times says:
Pekin is not strong place, considered in re.
iatlon 10 our means of offence. When Lord
Mccartney was there the walls were from
twenty-five to thirty feet in heighth. There
were square bastions abont every seventy
yards. These walls were twenty five feet thick
at the base and twelve feet thick at the tor.
They consisted of brick and stone enclosing
rampant OF earth. If the defences have not
been improved, they cannot be regarded as
obstacles likely to stop the Allies. Our great
est enemy was time. In the winter the tenn
perature is rarely above eight degrees below
freezing point. The canals and rivers are Gov.
cred with ice, and the Gulf of Pechili is vely
stormy and troubled. The Chinese know we
are or were fighting against time; hence their
exertIons to delay negotiations: But if the
Allied Plenipotentiares were resolute there
would be plenty of time to settle the matter
before November, and embark the army. All
depends upon the determination of Lord Elein
and Baron Gros-and in this respect they have
not hitherto failed. With the prospect of an
enemy in their capital before them, even Chi.
nese, we may suppose, would not hesitate to
accept our conditions.

mind of the nation. The people, under God,
must save this Union, if it is to be saved
Politicians cannot do it. The people are
now learning what they have never brought
themselves to believe, that the Union is in
danger and they, and they alone, must
apply the remedy. What I may be willing
to do, or what the Senate may be willing
to do, will avail nothing, unless supported
by the intelligence and conscience Of the
people. If the evils of disunion and civil
war could be delayed until the action of the
people could be had, I should have entire
confidence that the result would be the per.
petuation of our government in its present
form, and that these confederated States
would continue to be bound together in
eternal Union, by the golden chains of mu-
tual advantage. But the danger is that
anger and precipitation on the one side, and
blind incredulity on the other. may involve
in ruin the happiest people and the best
government on the globe, and that history
will record the fact that the people of the
United States were incapable of selfgov.
eminent.
One word more. There is class of men,
small in numbers and in influence, who as.
sumo that the present controversy is a con-
fict, as they say, of two civilizations that
it cannot be reconciled that freedom or
slavery must now perish. The great body
of those whom I represent do not thus be-
lieve. We believe that there is no conflict
of systems of labor in the different states
which is incompatible with the peaceful ex-
istence of our Union. We believe that the
slaveholding and n.slaveholding states may
still revolve in harmonious spheres, and that,
if the question of slavery shall destroy our
Union,it will not be because it could not be
satisfactorily and rightfulIy adjusted, but
because the statesmen of the day are in
competent to the task.

Choosing Presidential Electors by Dis
triCtS.

In view of recent suggestions to change
the mode of choosing Presidential Electors,
contemporary thus shows how, under the
District system, sectionalism would have
been unsuccessful North-as it would have
been South, 10 many places, if the District
system had prevailed.
1t required to elect, I52 votes in the cleo
toral colleges, and Lincoln received $50
but had the vote been by districts he would
have received only las votes, and would
therefore have been beaten. Here is ia
bic of the votes he received and the votes he
would have received under the district sys-
tenn, in the following States:

The Secret Out. An Instance of Tim
0thy's Precedence.

We respect talent. We admire genius.
We reverence the diviner gift and power of
prophecy. Therefore, TIMOTHY, of the
Times, is the subject of our present ado
ration.
Since L1NcoLN's election we have been
quietly engaged in pulling the wires to con-
troll for this establishment the entire fruits
of the Republican victory, both State and
National. We have enterta no doubt
of the success of our schemes. In this we
had pride not merely to be successful, but
to do the thing so nicely that no one would
mistrust our intentions so that when the
project was consummated, we might not
only enjoy its benefits, but enjoy, also, that
peculiar satisfaction which accompanies the
dexterous performance of bold conception.
But, TIMOTHY has been too sharp for us.
Undeceived by the surface of things, T1Mo-
1HY's keen eye has penetrated right to the
heart of all our skullduggery. And, mer-
CHESS as he is keen, TIMOTHY lays the matter
all open, and exposes our project to the
gaze, it may be to the dangerous opposition,
of the whole country.
Why" asks TIMOTHY, "Why is The
PIONEER so soft and easy on the Republican
party?" Why" repeats TIMOTHY, has
that paper been boxing the compass for a
month past?" For" replies TIMOTHY,
"For no other reason than that it might
secure foothold with the Republicans, and
procure the printing, both State and Nation.
al" "And," continues TIMOTHY, eve
really should not be surprised if The Pro-
NEER succeeded in procuring it.; for" argues
TIMOTHY, with fine point and sound rea-
son, " it is we'll known that Republicans
now sustain it, and it is not at all improba-
BILE that they may tender it the printing"
The public may not be aware of the val
ne of the patronage which TIMOTHY thus
comedies to our enterprise and ingenuity.
The State printing is worth about S., 1000,
and the National printing about $3.50, 900;
making it safe to calculate upon an annual
revenue of quarter of a million, to our
Golfers, when TMorHYs prophecy becomes
an actual fact. After thus furnishing for
us this princely income, and building up for
us gigantic fortune, TIMOTHY goes on to
reveal iwhat use we will make of it. Tim.
orHY says:
Cur contemporary will be as mild and gentle
as sucking dove, until it has feathered it's
nest, when, taking advantage cfths Union moue-
ment, which is dstracting the Republican par.
ty, 1t aciI call its scattered forces together and
Nth united move march to Democratic victorq,
and as matter of course will catch the crumbs
that fall from that table.
TIMOTHY, we confess, has hit the nail
right on the head. That's our programme
to an idea. And we agree with TIMOTHY
that cit is not at all improbable" that it
will be carried out. Indeed, we can assure
TIMOTHY that "the thing is bird" already.

From Memphis.

MEMPHIS, Dec. IA.
The steamer Goody Friends bound up,
and the South Bend bound down, collided
about fifty miles above here. The latter
sunk, and it is supposed that several lives
were lost.
The Overton Block, on the corner Of Main
and Monroe streets, was burned last night.
Loss, $175, 900 insured for $4,000.
