by you, that "Henry Clay is black
hearted william" &c.
1t is proper for me TO advert TO the
circumstances under which Mr.. Douglas
denounced Mr.. Clay, in the manner then
so common with the political opponents
of that illustrious statesman. In the
year 1914 | was nominated by the Wings
Of this district AS a candidate for Con-
gress in opposition to Judge Douglas
Mr.. Clay and Mr.. Polk were rival can
didates the same year for the Presiden-
cy. Judge Douglas and myself commen
ced the canvass together in Peoria, and
we addressed the people in every coun-
ty in the District; closing the discussion
in Carrollton, on Saturday (ifI mistake
not) before the election. During that
canvass, one of the leading topics of dis
cussion was the Oregon question. The
whole Of Oregon, up to the line of "a
deg 40 min, was insisted upon by
many Of the leaders of the Democratic
party, among whom was Judge Doug
las, and in discussing the question 1T
WAS HIS HABIT TO DENOUNCE
MR.. CLAY for the part that he took as
Secretary of State under Adams, in the
effort made during that Administration
to settle the disputed boundary between
the United States and Great Britain. Mr.
Clay, whilst Secretary of State, in at
tempted adjustment of the difficulty had
proposed to settle the disputed boundary
of Oregon on the parallel of 40 deg. n.
lat, as had been previously proposed un-
der the Administrator OF Monroe. In
reference to Mr. Clay's course, and his
instructions to the American Minister in
London, proposing as an uitimotum, TO
settle the boundary on the line of 40 deg,
(Which was subsequently adopted under
Polk's Administration, instead of insist
ing upon the whole of Oregon up to 81
deg. 40 min) He DENOUNCED
CLAY AS A TRAITOR TO HIS
COUNTRY, and as the only American
statesman that had ever been willing to
yield up any Of our territory on the Pa
ciic, to which he insisted we had as per-
feet right as Great Britain. In my fee,
bic manner attempted to vindicate the

then so freely used by their opponents
against them, and particularly their great
chief and leader, Mr. Clay. I WAS
DULY IMPRESSED AT THE TIME
WITH THE BITTERNESS OF THE
ASSAULT UPON MR.. CLAY, for hav-
ing been born ard reared almost in sight
of Ashland. and taught from my earliest
youth to revere the character of that
great man, it panied me to hear him so
unjustly assailed. The lapse of time,
however, has been so great. and my en-
tire removal (since my first election to
The bench in l848) from the arena of pol
tiles, will not allow me to repeat the pre-
else language employed by Douglas to-
wards Clay on the subject. than above
stated. Whatever Douglas said in my
hearing on that subject, was in the heat

our foreign relations. 1t can easily ac
quire by treaty with Mexico and the
States OF Central and Tropical America,
the rights of settlement, citizenship, and
free homesteads for such colored men
from all States as may desire to emigrate
and form themselves into colonies under
the laws Of the States to which they go,
and for such as may become free by the
voluntary action of States or individuals
This would, in no respect infringe upon
the rights of the States, and yet would
open the way for them to rid themselves
of slavery by providing homes for the
emancipated beyond their Jurisdictions.
Let us not deceive ourselves. The strong
est opponents of emancipation in the
slave States to-day, are the non slave
holding whites. And why? Jefferson
has given the answer already, "the two
races, equally free, cannot live together, "
on the same soil, without blowing the
now smouldering fires of conflict of
races into the raging flames of civil war.
Let, however, the non-slave holding
whites see a separate home provided for
the slave when emancipated, and there Is
not one in ten whose judgment, sense of
justice, philanthropy, interests, preludi-
ces and instincts-whose whole nature
will not compel him to labor for the
emancipation of the negro slave as he
would for his own.
Place this great idea of jefferson, the
leader and founder Of the Republican
party, which would give homesteads and
feedom to our colcred men in the trop
les, upon the Republican banner, as high,
and in letters as clear and boed we pro-
claim our homestead policy for free white
men-in our temperate territories has,
and the non slave holding white men en-
mdSSe, with thousands of slave holders
will rush 10 our standard.
From that hour, when the free white
laboring men of the South shall see that
their duties. sympathies and interest up
on this question are identical with the
duties, sympathies and interests of the
free white laborer of the North, the vic
tory is won. With this great idea of the
gradual and peaceful separation Of the
races as the subject race shall become
emancipated, we can Republicanize Mis-
souri, Maryland and Delaware during Mr.
Lincoln's adm inistra,on, and Kentucky.
Tennessee and Vir ginia before the close
of another and thus by living, humane
and truly Jetf'ersonian policy, make the
Republican party of to-day not mere
ephemeral thing TO vanish after tempo
rary success, but like that of 1900, an
enduring party with power TO admins
Ter, and deserving to administer, the gov
ernment for whole generation.

Com pressed Food.

Among the many Improvements of the
age, the result of the application of sci
ence to the useful arts, none is of more
importance than the process of descica-
ting articles of food The process con
sists in separating from meat. vegetables,
milk &C., whatever water they contain,
thereby reducing them considerably in
bulk, and making them capable of being
preserved for a long time. Almost all
articles of food contain about rs per cent
water, while some vegetables, tomatoes
for instance, contain "a per cent. This
being extracted, only the nutritious por-
ton remains. A company for this pur-
pose is in operation In Newburg, and the
provisions put up by them are already
quite extensively used. To show how
much the bulk is reduced by this pro
cess, we will instance few articles.
Two quarts of milk become one quart
when condensed, fifteen hundred quarts
are daily put up at Messrs. Alden &
Coz establishment and large quantities
are supplied TO families, hotels, &c, in
the CITY. The steamer Adriatic uses it
exclusively. A dozen eggs are put up
i'll half pint can two hundred day
are put up. Twenty-Five pounds of
fresh beef is compressed into a cake
eight inches square and one snd a quar-
ter inches thick. One hundred and
ninety-two cabages are condensed into a
cube of eight inches. Six bushels Of po.
tatoes are contained in cubic foot they
need only the adding of little water
and about thirty minutes cooking to
make good mashed potatoes. A cake of
onions OF the same size cantans one
bushel Sixty six thousand army ralions
can be put up in the bulk of one cubic
yard the company supplied the stores
sent to Utah. and they were used after
the return OF the men to West Point
Cider is put up, four barrels in one, and
barrel of apples is compressed into a
cube of seven inches. Pie plant, toma-
toes, ounces, and in fact every kind of
fruit is thus put up, and in fact every
case the natural flavor OF the article is
preserved. The process is certainly a
wonderful one.

The Proof of the Foul SANDER.

We call attention to the following let.
ter of an old Clay Wing, substantially
endorsing the version Of Douglass speech
at Carroton as heretofore reported in the
papers. That Douglas used such and
similar language against Clay nobody
would doubt The Locofocos of that day
were accustomed 10 speak of Clay as one
of the viiest and most corrupt men on
earth and Douglas was just such pot
house demagogue as delighted in denun.
