NOTHING LOST By kINDNEss.-Nearly halt
a century ago, when a coach ran daily between
Glasgow and Greenock, by Paisley, on a fore
moor, when a little, past Bishopton, a lady in
the coach noticed a boy walking barefooted,
seemingly tired, and struggling; with tender
feet She desired the coachman to take him
and give him a seat, and she would pay for it.
When they arrived at the inn in Greenock she
inquired of the boy what was his object in
coming there. a
Il He said hss wished to be a sailor, and hoped
some of the ca. ptains would engage him
She gave him. half a crown, wished him
success, and changed him to behave well.
Twenty years after this the coach was re-
turning to Glasgow in the afternoon, on the
same road. When near Bishopton, a sea-cap-
tain observed an old widow lady on the road,
walking very slowly, f~atilyued and weary. He

as there was an empty seat, and he would pay
for her. .a75f G tf,aA

TIE PGcIFfc RA1LRoAD.-Hon. Isaac /
Stevens, Dele gate from Washington Territory,
has written a celebrated letter to a Pacific
Railroad Convention which is called to meet
at Vancouver, Washington Territory, May 20.
He contends that the Northern route is the
one by which the United States can best con-
troll the trade of Asia, for many reasons. Fl
is shorter by al average of three hundred and
sixteen miles than the Central route. Puget
Sound affords. the best and safest harbor in the
world, and is some three hundred miles nearer
to Canton andt Jeddo than is San Francisco
The vicinity furnishes an abundant supply of
coal ct for stear ners' use, which can be said of
no other porto n of the Pacific coast, and the
estimated cost is as follows Breckenridge
to Seattle, With long tunnel, fifteen hundred
and forty-three miles, S94, 915 $50; Brecken-
ridge to Seattle with short tunnel, SOL, 925,380;
Breckenridge to Vancouver. fifteen hundred
and twenty-si.r miles, S~94,2S2,880; branch
from Vancouver to Seattle, one hundred and
seventy-two miles, SO, $50 900. Total cost
Breckenridge, Minnesota, to Seattle, via Van
couver, on tire Columbia, S10S, 032, $50
These estimat es include cost of tunnels, and
vary from forty to one hundred thousand dol
lars per mile, according to the character of the
route, and pro vide, also, steamer on the Mis-
souri, and Columbia Rivers. a-.a9 q

cratic party at Cincinnati is affirmed with the following
explanatory resolutions:
Ist That the Government of Territory, organized

and during its existence all citizens of the United States
have aa equal right to settle with their property in the
Territory without their rights of person prop
erty being destroyed or injured by Congressional or
Territorial legislation.
End That il is the duty of the Federal Government,
In all its departments, to protect when necessary, the
rights Of persons and property in tho territories, and
wherever else its constitutional authority extends.
Sd. That when the settlers in a Territory having an
ADEQUATE population, form State Constitution the right
of sovereignty commences, and being contaminated by
admission into the Union, they stand on equal foot
ing with the people of other States and State thus
organized ought to be admitted into the Federal Union,

Prentice Testifi.s for the South,

On the 9th of May 1859, about sixteen months

douglass organ,) referring to the Presidential
canvass, of 1856, spoke as follows:
80 Nearly oil the Statesmen of the South ex-
planned and defended our Territorial policy as we
did,
Whereupon Prentice replied, in the emphatic
language below:
That is according to the editor of the Demo-
crat, nearly all The Statesmen Of tie South IN the

A Slight Change

As this week terminates Col, HERBERrs engage.
n,ent as Editor of this paper and as he has been
unable to attend to his duties, and consequently
bas contributed nothing to this issue, we have ia
ken out his name and placed our own at the mast
head, as heretofore. But while we thus rc-assume
the responsibility of the Editorial profession, it il
not right that we should, by silence, arrogate to
ourselves the credit Of getting up the whole Of the
present issue of our paper. For the artic'c on Col
LAxARs speech, and the sousstirring appeal to the
Democracy Of old Monroe, we are indebted to the
kindness, as well as the talents. Of gentleman
whose highest ambition, politically, s to serve MS
a private in the ranks of the Unterrified," and
sid in hearing Oh to Glory the old banner Of the
invincb'e Democracy. Let every Democrat in
Monroe consider himself addressed in this last
stir re, earnest appeal, and give it a calm and
unbiased perusal before going to the polls Tues
day next.
With regard to the position we assumed in the
OF ening Of the canvass, and the course we have
since pursued, we have but little to say While
VIC have ever deeply regretted the disruption of
the Democratic party, and would have been wills
ing, at any time, to make any reasonable sacrifice
or to submit to any honorable compromise, look.
ing to an amicable adjustment Of existing difficult
tics, yet. We never could have consented to yield
up the great and living principles embodied IN the
platform Of the Constitutional Democracy, upon
which we have planted our standard, aud fought,
to the best Of onr humble ability, throughout the
contest whose final struggle isnow at hand And
inproof Of our sincerity in advocating the cause
We hnyc, should kind Providence spare us life
and health until the polls are opened on Tuesday
next, We shall. with great pleasure deposit in the
ballot box an open ticket" for the gallant leaders
Of tho Constitutional Democracy. John c. Breck
