Gen. Orvlle Clark, of Sandy Hill,
New York, addressed the Douglasites at
a place called the Rancho, in that vicin-
ity, short time since. In the course of
his speech he said:
The principle of solf-governmentis one
dear to every American. In devotion to
it was the country settled. Our fore
fathers left a land of tyranny and Cypress,
ion for one where they could have "a
church without bishops government
without q king; where the people should
be their own bishops and thoir own
kings. They settled on the bleak shores
ofthe Atlantic, in land without laws,
and solemnly resolved that they would
be governed by the laws of God, until
they had time to make better o,,es.'

81. CrOix Assembly District
Convention.

The Republicans Of the st. Croix As
sembly District has nominated JOHN
CoMsTocK, of Hudson, for Assembly
man. This nomination is the very best
that could have been made, and will un-
doubtedly secure the success of the Re-
publicans in that District. Mr.. Com
stock was strongly opposed to allowing
bis name to go before the Convention,
and it was only after the most urgent
solicitation on the part of his friends, that
he consented to do so.
If the Republicans of the st. Croix
District will do their duty Mr.. Comstock
will be elected. That he will make n
faithful representative, and an efficient
legislator, there is no doubt.

The Old ND an.

A prisoner, he.keeps the old arm chair.
and the old clock dial grows dim, and
the old clock bell sounds great way off,
and he dozes in the open door, and leves
to look at the setting suns, and shares
the chidren's tops, and talks himself to
sleep. 1t is n summer evening; yellow
light falls upon the threshold, and along
the floor, and invests the old MANS form
with an old glory. He sits in the dwell
ing of his sons son; his head reslnes up
on his breast. Light steps steal softly
Found him, but he hears tlcla not. A
set Of little fingers are playing with his
thin white lair, but he does not heel it.
Two generations call to him; the second
is strong and manly; it is father they ut
ter; the third is childlike and gentle; it
is grandfather they say, but he returns
no answer to either.
The sun has set somebody says: the
clock has just run down. cries another;
The old man is asleep whispers third !;
and sure enough he is for the old man is
dead

A change for the better.

There is one pleasing fact to be MOTTO
ed in the present campaign-the abb
scence of personal abuse of the party
leaders.
At almost every Presidential election
previous to this, the nominees of the va
rious parties have been the objects of
the foulest SANDERS, their characters ira
duced, and they freely charged with
being immoral and dishonest knaves.
This campaign has been nearly free
from such disgraceful scurrilities.-
Whether this arises from the fact that
party writers have found that such at
tacks do not pay, or whether the magni-
tude of the issue at stake absorbs merely
personal matters, it is certain that the
change is a good one.

How a Lady Preserved Webs
fer's Reply to Hayne.

The Taunton (Massachusetts) Gazette
Incorporates the following interesting re-
miniscence in notice of the article on
The National Intelligencer and its Edi-
TORS in the last Atlantic Monthly:
1T will be seen from this interesting
narrative that there was q time when
Joseph Gales stood alone among Con.
gressional reporters; and to still further
illustrate his position in Il at line We caH
to mind what we once heard an intimate
friend of Mr.. Webster say we owed to
him and his wife with regard to the ceie-
brated reply to Mr. Hayne. Meeting the
Massachusetts senator as he was going to
the Capitol on that morning, Mr.. Gales
inquired of him how long he intended to
speak. About half an hour, was the re-
ply. The editors duties at that time
were pressing: but he ventured to take
SO much time from them. Mr. Webster,
however, directly after met Judge Storyt
who said that he thought the time had
come to give to the country bis views on
tbs constitution. To this proposition he
assented. Mr.. Gales took Up his pencil;
unaware of this psw arrangement, and
alike unconscious Of the lapse of time un-
der the Gnchantment of the orator, and
consequently he wrote on until the close
) Of the spoil. Some days passing away
and the proof of the speech not appear
ING, Mr.. Webster called on the reporter
and made inquiry. 1 have the notes,
said Mr.. Gales, and they are at your ser
vice, as | shall never find time to write
! them out. This led to some relnonstrance
and persuasion, but the over-tasked ed
itor stood firm. Then Mrs. Gales came
to his rescue by saying that she thought
she could decipher her husbands short
hand, as she had formerly occasionally
done so. Mr.. Gales doubted, seeing that
it was fifteen years since she had tried it.
But she had heard the speech, and rs the
resistless sweep of its argument and the
gorgeous and massive mngnifcence fits
imagery were yet vivid in her mind, she
persisted in undertaking the difficult work,
In due time, therefore, the fair manu-.
script came to Mr.. Webster's hands for
final correction. Scarcely word needed
to be changed; and soon set of dis-
monds, costing thousand dollars, accom-
panied the rich thanks Of the eloquent
statesmen. Thus was saved to literature

Good Accommodations.

As all sensible Democrats are now
looking forward to a speedy transit up
Salt river, there is one thing which may
afford them some consolation. The Re,

The Object 0f aEae Republican
Party.


The object of the Republican party is
not the abolition of African slavery, but
the utter extirpation ofdogmas which are
tho logical sequence of the attempts to
establish its righteousness and wisdom,
and which would serve equally well to
justify the enslayement of every white
man unable to protect himself. They
believe that slavery is wrong morally,
and misfortune practically, wherever it
exists; that it has nulifed our influence
abroad and forced us to compromise with
our better instincts at home; that il has
perverted our government from its iegit-
innate objects, weakened tie respect for
the laws by making them the tools of its
purposes, and sapped the faith of men in
any higher political morality than inter-
est or any better craftsmanship than
chicane. They mean in every lawful
way to hem it within its present limits.
We are persuaded that the election of
Mr.. Lincoln will do more than anything
else to appease the excitement of the
country. He. has proved both his ability
and his integrity: he has had experience
enough in public affairs to make him a
statesman, and not enough to make him a
politician. That he has not had more
will be no objection to him in the eyes
of those who have seen the administra.
ton of the experienced public functionary
whose term of Office is just drawing to q
close. He represents party who know
that true policy is gradual in its advances,
that is is conditional and not absolute
that it must deal with facts and not with
sentiments, but..who know also that it is
wiser to stamp out evil in the spark than
to wait till there is no help but in fighting
fire with fire. They arc the only con-
servatiye party, because they are the CD
ly one based on an enduring principle,
the only one that is not willipg to pawn
tomorrow for the means 20 gamble with

nant sunlight Of heaven touched them,
and they faded silently, leaving no trace
but here and there the scratches of thor
talons, and the gnawed boulders scattered
where they made their lair. We have en-
tire faith in the benignant influence of
Truth, the sunlight of the moral world,
and believe that slavery, like other worn
out systems, will melt gradually before it.

THE DAWNING DAY.

During the week past, the whole North
has been wild with Joy. The moment
Gus issues of this campaign-the dawn
ing hope which had stirred Republican
he:,rts-the desperate struggles of the
half despairing Democracy, have lent
unusual interest to the State elections in
Pennsylvania and Indiana.
1t was expected on all sides that the
contest would be close one, and that the
result would almost decide the final strug-
gle in November, and on the 9Th of DC.
tober, all eyes were turned to these
States with eager interest.
At evening, he OLD KEYSTONE sent
greeting to her sisters, and crowned her
self with a glory unknown before. At
the same time, INDIANA stepped forth
with the garland of Freedom on her
brow, and ton thousand wires flashed all
over the land the tidings Of great vic
tory won.
wien at Chicago, the evening
after the nomination of ABRAHAM LIN
COLIN, HENRY LANE said that he should
surely be the next Governor of INDIANA
and tho jubilant Pennsylyanians para
ded the streets, bearing banners, on
which was inscribed, 10000 majority
for Col. CURTIN every body believed
these statements to be rather the cut
burst Of a heated enthusiasm, than the
prophecies of sagacious and wisely cal
caIating men, yet the event has proved
the prediction true.

lowing figures are doubtless sufficient

jorities.
