No BEE SwARMs IN Observation-Disclosures Mis-
souri, the total failure OF the bees to swarm during
the summer just past attracts considerable atten-
tion, and excites much speculation. In some local
tiles, farmers who have hundred stands, and who
watch closely the movements of the bees, report
that, although the little insects have worked all
through the summer with their accustomed indus
try, and have multiplied largely, not a single swarm
has been observed.

A meeting of the citizens Of Chatham

ernor ELLIS to convene n special session of
the Legislature Of that State ia view of re-
cent events, the Governor has wisely decided
that snch step is not necessary at the pres
ent time In his letter making known this
decision, he says:
Fully approaching the magnitude of the
causes that have given rise to these appTe-
tensions. and sensible Of the persistent cf-
forts of the evil-disposed persons who would
disturb our peace, l nevertheless entertain
the opinion that the public need apprchend
no immediate asgressions by force OF arms.

rection. The attacks most to be feared are

Judge Douglas Plays a Southern
Card.

On Monday last Judge DOUGLAS delivered
10 the Senate and to vast throng of citizens
whocroWded the Senate Chamber, a set speech
OF over two hours in length on bis Harper's
Ferry Resolutions. advocating in an elaborate
and logical manner, the constitutional obii-
CATION of the Federal government to protect
the severoI States from invasion by the cIti-
z.ns of other States- He based his speech on
the correspondence between ExGOv. WISE
and Mr.. BrcHAsAx. last November- The
: former having informed the President that he
had reliable information that conspiracy 10
rrscue JoHx BRowS was formed in the States
o. Osi,. Pennsylvania. New York and other
States, that the President might take steps
20 preserve, by the Federal arm, peace BE-
tween The States, Mr.. BUCHANAN replied: 81
am at a loss to discover any provision in the
Constitution or laws Of the United States
which would authorize me TO take steps for
this purpose to preserve peace between the
States" This opinion of The President Judge
DocGLGs coutrOyeried. His friends say that
his effort was mastery and triumphant in all
its parts, and utterly Dc molished the position
assumed By the President.
tteDiS
enOagt TO attribute to the Illinois Senator
the desire TO curry favor with the South, as
the motive which induced this speech. They
say that it was the most humiliating and dis
gushing exhibition of officiating that has
occurred. For our part we have seen moth
ing in the course of Judge DOUGLAs on the
territorial questions inconsistent with his posi-
tion on this. Doubtless he has his ey e direct
ed towards the opposite end of The Avenue
from the Senate Chamber. 1t may, indeed
be true that he is attempting to regain the
ground he has evidently lost in the South;
and is anxious to present such a system of
checks, balances and compensafions in his
record, as that, taken as a whole, it will be
more acceptable to that cOnglOrmeration of
discordant materials, designated, out of
courtesy, as the National Democracy, than
that of any other man among them. He is
succeeding, too, admirably. His sQuaHer
sovereignty has secured him the support of
the Northern and Western democracy beyond
peradveniure. His protectiOn-frominvasi
card is evidently played a trump, but
whether its denomination is high enough TO
take the odd trick and secure the Charleston
nomination is another and a doubtful ques-
tion. DOUGLAs is very great, but bis COM
bined enemies in the South may be greater
Time will tell.
