1Inde. the above caption the Times Of yes |
terday attributes to Mr.. Douglas all that has
been accomplished for freedom within the last
four yoars By the Republican party. It is no
small compliment to that party that its most
bitter and determined opponent through his
newspaper organs, seeks to promote his popa'
larisy with tho masses Of the North by ta's
d;sineenuous, not to say impudent and bare
faced attempt, to claim its trophies as his o"n,
and to so before the country under colore
vhicl, he has SO often stigmatised as traitor
ons and anti Republican. Tho Times, howev-
er. will scarcely be able to convince the peo-
ple that the man Who during the whole strug-
ele tor the extension Of slavery, has devoted
his entire energies to the work Of breaking
down the barriers erected against that instltu-
ton; who has everywhere proclaimed that it

whether it be voted up or voted down; who
has never spoken against 1t as an evil that
ought to be restricted, but who, wherever be

rapid progress, has given himself no rest until

CAxs1ua III. Clay At Louisville.
On Saturday evening, Cash Clay made Re-
publican speech in Louisville to large and
orderly audience. OF the speech the Democrat
says:
Cash is ingenious- He handles Kentucky
crowd skiltully- He denonnces Sl&rery, and
pats the masters OF the back as good felloHs.
1n'the languags'e Of Paddy he "slithers 'em
down an TIM butthers ;'em up."
The aosraas says:
ME. Clay'a speech. a u whole, was able, tenn
perate and interesting. Considered IRON the
Republican point Of Y lew, and with respect to
1aere topics, it is more notable for what it
lett cut than for what It set for,h."
The Courier says:
The subject of slavery, and the position Of
the Presidential candidates thereon, formed the
staple Of his speech and if the want Of ability
which characterized his argument excited sur
prise in those who had not before heard him
speak, the disingenuousness OF his reasoning
must have sstonisbed rnen who expected him
to talk as il he -eally beliered what he ssid.

Brilliant Meteor Again.

The flaming meteor OF July 10th, or an
other of the same sort, shot along over the
valley of the Ohio the evening of August
I'd. 1t was seen at Chillicothe, Yellow
Springs, Morrow, Cincinnati, Louisville,
DC, at few minutes after ten o'clock,
darling across the Southern sky from East
to West, with light far more brilliant
than the moon. At Cincinnati it seemed
10 be directly over Covington, not more
than twenty degrees above the horizon, and
looked like great ball of flame. Its ap-
pearance from different localities varied
very much. One says it resembled great
bar of iron, just from the furance, white
hot and scintillating; another describes it
as big as barrel, and seemed like red
hot cannon ball, with a trail of light; a
third says it looked like very large ser
pent, with a ball of fire in its mouth, and
two small balls of fire about the middle of
the train; and as seen at Antioch College,
it appeared about one third of the distance
between the horizon and zenith, bright
ball of fire, resembling the moon in size
and color. 1t shot trough the heavens in
a horizontal wavering line from east to
west with immense velocity.

The Emperor and the Pope,


l hear from the very best sources that a
person of high rank, just on his return
from Paris, who saw the Emperor Napo-
leon at Fontainebleau, related that this
monarch had expressed himself, in the
most unequivocal and positive terms, "ihat
it had become matter of necessity that
both the Bourbon of Naples and the Pom
tiff of Rome should decamp." The En-
peror added, that it was possible the Pope
might inhabit the island of Sardinia, with
the nominal sovereignty over the island,
but allowing It the full enjoyment of its
present free Institutions. The Pope would
enjoy civil list of 10000, ,0OOf., of which
3,OOO,000f would be contributed by France,
the rest by other Catholic States.
My informant added, that both the
Court and the whole population of France
are in state of the greatest indignation
on account of the cowardly outrage to
which their representative, Baron Brenief.
had been subjected in the streets of Ma
pies. That the Emperor expressed him
SELF in the above language l have no rea-
son to doubt. To what extent his words
conveyed his own real secret intentions and
resolutions, and to what extent his will
may be taken as the last decree of fate,
time will in all probability soon reveal
The real fact is, perhaps European public
opinion is driving Napoleon Ill. beyond
all his original plans. The Emperor pro-
-fessed the utmost admiration for Garribal
dis past exploits, and said France would
never be hindrauce to the furtherance of
that hero's future Turin

Alta meeting of the Republican Asso-
citation of Washington City, held on the
evening of the 26th of July, the following
resolutions were unanimously adopted:
Whereas. The United States Commiss-
;oner of Public Buildings, John B, Blake,
has Withdrawn the permission previously
GRANTED the Republicans of Washington
City, to erect such a Liberty pole as would
have been credit alike to the great Re
publican party and the Metropolis of the
Union, and from which was to float an
ensign bearing thirty-three stars and thir-
teen stripes-our countryis fag-an EN-
blem of the union of States. Therefore,
Resolued, That we regard this withdraw,
al of permission, heretofore granted to all
political and other parties, as an act OF
petty tyranny and prescription, which
could only emanate from a mere Partism
and an agent of such corrupt political
party as now governs the nation.
Resolyed, That the attempt of the Com
missioner to hide his act behind the shad-
ow of the law is only political dodge and
subterfuge, and makes the act of proscrip-
tion more palpable from the fact that such a
law Gf amy has SO long been allowed to
slumber or to be violated with impunity,
the evidences of which we have had and
still have all around us.
Resolved, That whereas such permis-
sion has been denied Republicans by the
United States Commissioner of Pnblic
Buildings, we, the members of that party
in Washington, wishing to prove ourselves
law and order-abideing citizens, for the
present in this case waive our rights in the
national Capitol, and deem it advisable TO
erect no liberty pole until the inaugura-
tion of that National party which shall
establish in this city true liberty and the
equal rights of the members of all political
parties, and who will regard the District
Of Columbia as the property of the nation,
and not of section of our country.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolu-
tions be furnished the Press for publication.
