Politically Dead.

The Republicans tell us that Mr.. Doug
las, by this election, is politically dead
They forgot that he has four years to
serve in the Senate of the United States,
and that in that capacity he will stay
there until Lincoln leaves the Presidency.
In the Senate of the United States for the
coming administration Mr. Douglas will
be master spirit-the live man OF Con.
gress. If Mr.. Lincoln does not pursue
correct policy, Mr.. Douglas is in a posi-.
ton to criticise it, and hold up his errors
to the country--a duty which he will
fearlessly and boldly discharge. 1t
would be much more correct to say that
there is no future for Lincoln than to APP
ply the remark to Mr.. Douglas. Lin
coins administration will make finish
of him-mark that lie will probably
leave the Presidency hated and des pissed
by most Of those who voted for him.
while Mr.. Douglas, if he lives, has thirty
years Of political eminence before him
1t is absurd to talk Of single reverse
killing such man as Stephen A. Doug
las.
The Republicans should remember that
Lincoln himself was defeated by Douglas
for the Senate in Illinois in 1858, and if
he can stand one beating, Mr.. Douglas,
with his superior talents and energy, can
stand dozen. Mr.. Douglas, although
running against the prejudices and pas
sions of both extremes of the Union, who
had been mutually inhamed with hostili-
ty to each other by the acts of demagogues
and knaves, has received q greater number
Of vOtes than any other man auho acas ever
beaten for the office. The Republicans
four years ago were proud of the race
which Fremont made, who got 300, 900
votes. Mr.. Douglas has beat that, re-
ceiving one million and half. His vote
is more than double that of Breckenridge
or Bell. 1t is within fifteen per cent. of
that of Lincoln. 1t has this glorious
popularity. too. that it is distributed in
every State in the Union. Breckinrfdge's
votes are about all in the South; Lincoln's
are about all in the North, but Mr. Doug
las has thousands and tens OF thousand of
votes in both Northern and Southern
States. He alone got national VOTE
His opponents received the votes of sec
tions. 1t is. all things consideree, a
paoud triumph for Mr.. Douglas to have
received one million and half Of votes
against two sectional candidates, one of
whom had the assistance Of the federal
Events will prove that
Mr.. Douglas is just about as near being
killed politically as was General Jackson
when the politicians defeated him in 1924
for President.-Enquirer.

The InfatuatiOn Of Lotteries.

The Philadel phia Press, in an article on
the lottery offices of that city, gives the
following remarkable instance of their
fearfnlly deleteriuus of7octs:
In the immediate vicinity of a certain
policy dealer the son of a country clergy
man resided. This youth, the hope of an
estimable parent. was journeyman at
some branch of carriage making He
came to town with few hundred dollars
in cash, and the enticements of his neigh
Dor over the way were soon made known
to him. Straightway he became patron
of policies. AT the first venture he won
few dollars. These he doubled and
staked again, and lost. Again he staked,
and again lost, until more than half of
his funds were taken from him. Made
desperate by failure, but still confident of
success, he staked all that remained, and
was penniless. His destitution made
him insane. Surviving a long illness he
resumed his trade, but had no mind for
work. All his energies were concentrated
upon the policies, and the sad scene was
witnessed Of the errant lad sweeping the
pavement and doing menial service for
the man who had robbed him. His re-
compense forthis de5asement aVas the privi-
lege Of choosing three numbers gratuitously
in the policy list We beheld him lately,
a changed and detected being, the weekly
recipient of small sum from the policy
dealer. He occupies the position of copyist
in that worthy's Office, and his wasted
energies are crazed into the single lust of
winning. In a few months some moneys
left him by deceased relative will be re-
ccived. 1t had been more direct for the
dead man to have willed the cash at once
to the policy dealer. A few days ago, as
an evidence of returning mind, the son
of the clergyman begged some gentleman
to "back" him as policy dealer. To
such high expectations has the child Of
the Gospel herald aspired.

Away with such Folly.

In the dark days of 1850 when the Re-
public was on the eve of disruption,
Clay and Webster and Clayton, and OH
ers on the one side, and Cass, Dickinson,
Bright and others representing a different
policy-life long political enemies, struck
hands and rallied to the rescue of the
country and saved it in its hour of peril.
BY the madness Of fanatical Abolition
lists the Constitution ard the laws are
nullfied and fifteen of the States of the
Union denied their equal rights in the
common property of the Union-proper-
ty bought with the common blood and
the common treasure of all and yet now
the cry is no more compromise-no more
concession to the slave power. Away
with the folly of calling justice com
promise-of calling the doing away with
n wrong, concession. Give the States of
the South but their just rights, s,-they ask
nothing more, they will submit to moth
ing less. "Lct Justice be done though the
Heavens do fall" is a maxim as honest
in politics as in morals. Abide by the
Constitution-uphold it's compromises,
and all will yet be well. Have the oppo-
sition no Websters, no Clays, no Clay
tons now as in 1850. to do away with
party for the sake of the country-to do
right even if party leaders run counter to
justice? We fear the race of giants and
of patriots in high places in the opposi-
ton ranks have passed away, and that
the country must suffer for the dwarfs
who usurp their places.-Mational Demo-

Who are DisuniOniSts!

The Pittsburgh Post answers this ques,
ton by asking:
rs it he who breaks q conf pact or he
who, finding it broken, withdraws? Is
not the guilt, the sponsibility Of disun,
ion with him who disrupts the compact?
Many Northern States have deliberate
ly, and with the wicked purpose of ag-
gression on unoffending friends, broken a
solemn compact of the Constitution in
vital points, in its letter and its spirit.
The South. thus finding the compact
of the Constitution repudiated by North
ern States, in those provisions especially
intended for the protection of Southern
rights and interests, proposes to with
draw from compact in which she alone
is required to keep faith.
Such simple statement Of the case.
Will any one deny it?
This then being the case stated. what
is the remedy? How can the South stay
her purpose and remain.
why, clearly, only by the removal OF
the just cause for secession-by the reces-
sion of the North from its violations of
the Constitution, and recession of its
aggressive course"

Escape from "a Ten Years Cap
tiyity with the Sn "a X q In Il ians.

A man calling himself Jane, p. Kim
ball, accompanied by his wife, arrived in
this city last week, in destitute circum-
stances, and was generously afforded
lodging and board at the Pennsylvania
House by Mr.. Stine. Kimball relates
that he has inst escaped from ten years
captivity with the Snake Indians in Ore.
gon. His narrative is published in the
Review. We condense the main facts:
In lS4S he left the home Of his father,
Col. Newell Kimball Of Syracuse, n. Y,
for California, by the overland route, in
company with his fathcr-in.law and three
unmarried daughters. When the party
with which he was travelling reached Chill
licothe Valley, Oregon, June 18th, they
were attacked by about 1000 Snake In
dians, but defended themselves for sever
al hours, killing 400 Indians and losing
62 Of their own number, leaving only 8
men and women alive, who surrendered
to the savages.
They were taken by the Indians to Min
eral Spring, at the head of Chilicothe
Valley, where council of twenty -four
braves decided that they should run the
gauntlet. The next day Kimball ran the
gauntlet twice, with half an hours inter-
val between each time-frst for his wife
and next for himself. The same day Mr..
Neal, his fatherin-law, was also ccmp pell-
ed 20 run the gauntlet, but was knocked
down before reaching the centre of the
two lines, when he was sentenced to be
burned at the stake, which sentence was
put into execution the same evening, in
the presence of the party.
Another man of the party was likewise
burned at the stake, after which the In.
dians proceeded to Faundeer Valley,
Washington Territory. The cap.ives
were washed in a stream of water by
squaws till it was thought the white
blood was all washed out of them, when |
the chief adopted them as his children
From that time till fifteen months ago
they lived with the Indians, wandering
with them through different parts of the |
country. Kimball became their "Medi-
cine Man." or doctor, and processes to
have learned many remarkable cures for
cancer, rheumatism, etc. How he finally
escaped lie does not say; but after fifteen
months travel he arrived in this place
last week, and expects to return to New
York as soon as he can obtain the neces-
sary means.
His narrative is strange one, and we
presume it is true.

Getting His Dividend.

Yesterday a Wide Awake went into
the Offices of one of our brokers, and
wanted same western money exchanged.
1t unfortunately happened to be bills of
some of the refused Illinois banks, and the
broker told him he would take it at 80
per cent. discount. This demand appear
ing exorbitant, and he demurred in rather
strong language, The broker then asked
him if he wasn't one of the fellows he had
seen around only few nights ago, with 3
black cape and torch. The Wide Awake
said he was, and wanted to know what that
had to 90 with his money. Oh. nothing,
replied the broker, only you are getting
your dividend on your investment in Lin
coin. The Wide-Awake left the office
swearing that he would go home and break
his torch over the first Republicans head
that ever asked him to turn out again
II this was the first fruits of change, he
would like to know what the end was
going to be? He, like thousands of 9TH
ers, begin to see their elror-Bu5alo Re

will be such as to inspire new confidence
in republican institutions, and that the
prudence, the wisdom, and the courage
which it will bring to their defence will
transmit them unimpared and invigorated
to our children.
May the Great Ruler of nations g; ant
that the signal blessings with which he
has favored ours, may not, by the mad
ness OF party, or personal ambition, be
disregarded and lost, and may His wise
providence bring those who have produced
this crisis, to see the folly, before they
feel the misery, of civil strife, and inspire
returning veneration for that Union,
which, if we may dare to penetrate His
designs. He has chosen, as the only means
of attaining the high destinies to which
we may reasonably aspire.

OUT IN THE COLD.
BY JOHN 8. ADAMS.

With blue cold hands and stockinglcss feet,
Wandered child in the cherries street,
Children were many, who, housed and fed,
Lovingly nestled, dreaming in bed,
Caroed their joy in q land of bliss
Without thought or q care of this.
They were warm in humanity's fold
But this little child was out in the cold
Out in,the cold. -''.
Bleak blew the wind through the cherries
street,
Dashng along the merciless sleet
All furred and shawled, man, woman and child,
Hurried along, for the storm grew wild,
They could not bear the icicle blast
Winter so rude on their pathway cast.
Alas, none pitied-no one consoled
This little wanderer, out in the cold
Out in the cold.
She had no father--she, no mother;
Sister none, and never brother.
They had passed on to star.word's above,
She remained here with nothing but love.
"Nothing but lpve''-ah! men did not know
What wealtifof Joy that child could bestow.
So they went by and worshipped their gold,
Leaving the little one out in the cold
Out in the cold. ......
Wandered she on till the shades of night
Yelled her shiverng form from sight
Then with her cold hands over her breast
She prayed to her Father in Heaven for rest.
When hours had fed, meath the worlds dark
frown,
Hungered and chilled she laid herself down
Lay down to rest, while the wealth rolled
In carriages passed her out in the cold
Out in the cold.
Out in the cold 10! an angel form
Brought her white robes that were rich and warm.
Out in the cold, on the sleeping child,
The sainted face of a mother smiled.
A sister pressed on her brow kiss,
Led her mid scenes of heavenly bliss:
And angels gathered into their fold
That night, the little one out of the cold
Out Of the cold.

Faith Extraordinary.

In GAINESVILLE we heve many coloreC
people, who live by barbering an othel

an orderly and quiet people, many OF them
are religions, having church Of theif own
and sable minister, of all of which they
are justly proud.
One cold evening, in a time of great revi.
val in the church, the ebony expounder
was delivering a powerful appeal upon
Faith" the groans and sobs of his hear
ers gave token of its effect upon their ir-
repressible natures. The tears stood upon
his own dark cheek, his voice quivered
like distant thunder, when he emphasized
his words by vigorous blows upon the
table. In the midst OF all this, the stove.
agitated by his iarring blows, rolled over
on the floor. Brother Lewis, high man
in the church, had located himself near this
comforter of shns; he stood irresolute,
when the voice Of his minister came to him
lade with faith. "Pick up de stove. brud-
der Lewis. pick up de stove, de Lord won t
let it burn you" Brother Lewis mind
was filled with the miracles OF faith he had
that evening heard, SO lie yielded to the
appeal Of his preacher, grabbed the hot
stove, dropped it instantly, and turning
his reproachful eyes to the disciple of faith
exclaimed, "De hell he won't.- Cincinna-
