when something than local or State affairs were
At stake. A change in the National Administration
had become absolutely necessary. The best evidence

friends but bis duty called upon him to act for the best

many-difFered with him in this respect and wonld
support Mesus Bell and Everett. This he regarded

he mr. Babcock) could not do. He would not regret
10 see Mr. Bell chosen President but he could see ne
hone for him. The contest was clearly between Ian,
coin and Douglas in this State, and while ne admired
Mat Douglas was the author Of the repeal Of the Mis-
sour Compromise, which had proved perfect Pando,
va's box of evil to the country. No true friend OF
Henry Clay should ever forgive him for this act: Yet
Mr. Douglas had the mpudence to appeal 70 the ienas
Of that lustrious statesmen for their support. Inc
whole life of Henry Clay was one complete record
against the policy advocated by Mr.. Douglas, and
nothing but the most barefaced assurance could ever
have induced him tDouglasl TO go about ee country
making stump speeches and endeavoring t0prove that
Henry Claw and Daniel Webster were his supporters

The Dead SDeaIx,

Yes; the dead speak. They speak in the works
they have done. in the affections they have ip-
spired, IN the influence they have radiated in
the memories they leave in The hearts Of their
co,empcr rieS. 1t is one OF the blessed ord nan-
ces OF our existence, that the power of IA good
lie surviueS its material NANTES ,aton. The
transition Of death bears off the MAN but his
infuence-the silent force of his character-re-
mains, to mingle with new events, and to a ct
upon minds perhaps not yet created Years may
intervene, with all their ObIilprating effects. ill
memory shall render but a dim image of the once
familiar faco, aud the grass of many summers
shall bloom and fade over the breast that heaves
no longer, but the momentum imparted TO sooi
ely by wise and good career, will continue.
and will act beyond the power OF compute ton.
Thus it is that good men, in all positions aud
relStions, survive the doom that seems to con
quer them, and speak, by their deeds and nau
ence, when their forms are no longer visible in
the places that knew them SO well. These spir-
ituaI qualities that are left by departing men,
become the permanent treasures of the world ;
they are as the mantes that drop from ascending
spirits, to inspire and sanctiIy surviving asso
ciates.-Reu E. " Reynolds
