Why DougIas is Run.

Senator Chandler, of Michigan, in his
speech at Newburg, Wednesday evening,
told the following story apropos Of the
running of Douglas for President by one
wing of the Democratic party. 1t is about
the only good thing Chandler ever sale, Land
hence he deserves the more credit for it
"a friend of mine the other day was
anxious to know why they persisted in
running Douglas. Nobody claimed that
they would elect him, and what under
heavens said this friend of mine, 'do they
run him for Said |, they claim they are
preparing him for some great race in the
future-for the sweepstakes of 1864, 4,when
they think he will sweep the country
That reminds me of the story Of an old
Engishman who had famous terrier
puppy which he was training. He had
spent great deal of time and labor upon
the animal, and finally determined to ex-
hibit his accomplishments, and called in
his son John for that purpose. Now.
john said he, Pm going to get down or
all fours and play bull, and then you will
see what he will do So down the old
man got and began to below like a bull
at the puppy, who forthwith sprang at him
seized him by the nose and shook it VIC
lently, while John stood by clapping hi;
hands and enjoying the sport. But the
old man thought the dog was carrying the
joke too far, for he couldn't shake him off
He stopped his believing and cried out
Take him of, John! Take the beast off
or he'll kill me- 'Oh! never mind, dad,
said John, never mind, dad;' it will bt
the maxim of the pup Great laughter.
So of this running of Douglas; l dare say
good will come out of it, though l do moi
see what Renewed applause.

One thing to Contract for a Sale,
but another thing to Deliver the
PrOpertV


but another thing to Deliver the
Property. ...
That was the remark, day or two since,
of one who was Fillmore man, of the
town of Avon, New York, at the last Pres
idential election. In that township there
are one hundred voters Of that class, and
just one Of them, and no more, is ready to
be delivered over in accordance with the
contract made between the Douglas Demo
cracy and the Know Nothings at Syracuse.
We have advices from gentlemen who
have within week past been though the
State of New York, and off the great cen
tral route, and there can be but one opin-
ion among candid mon as to the effect ol
the contract made at Syracuse between
Washington Hunt, on the part of the Un-
ion-savers, and Dean Richmond, on behalf
of the Squatters, to wit: that the bar
gain will be repudiated by the old Fill
more men as it is in Avon, ninety nine
against one. ia-z. s-
One effect of the "criminal conversation
between the Squatters and the Union-sav-
ers has been the nomination of a Houston
Electoral ticket for the State of New York
1t was estimated before the bargain at Sy
racuse, that Mr.. Houston had six thousand
votes in that State, but an Electoral ticket
was not then contemplated. The detection
from the Squatters, and the Bell-Everet1
ranks, caused by the base sale made by
their leaders, has so swelled the Houston
ranks as to demand an Electoral ticket ant

QUESTION.

"Do YOU hold. and if elected President of the
United States, would you carry out. the doc
trine that the people of a Territory, before It be-
comes State have the power, under the FEEDER
al Constitution, and Notwithstanding the Dred
Scott decision, to proibit Or exclude Saucry there
trom2
"In other words:
"Do you affirm that The people Of a Territory
have the Constitutional right to crush the cock
atrces eggs, os soon as these are deposited IN its
nest by the propagandist of Slavery, Or must
they tolerate the izcu6ation. and rat till the eggs
become fuHsro,ra aud actire ripcrs, that can be
pursued and cxterminated only by the newly
created sword Of State authority"
With this question before him, which he
promised to answer, the Judge arose and ad-
dressed the people for an hour and hall; but
for some cause or othcr-you can judge what as
well as I-he not only did NOT answer the
QUESTION but very carefully dvoided all alllsion
to 1t! l merely give you the fact. with no COM
ment of my own, preferring that you bestow
such reflections upon it as candor and fidelity
to truth require. But it seems to me the public
should know uhat question Judge Douglas re-
fuses to answer, and conjecture as best they may
the reason uhy he chooses TO "coneeal his opin-
IONS on that most interesting point.

ewAbout week since, a drunken German
staggered up and down Main Street, Millers-

great deal of profane and obscene language,
but was left to take his departure in peace. On
Monday last, a citizen of Hardy township, also
Douglas man, came TO town, got drunk as
usual, swore at everybody he saw, and then
took his departure for home. A little later in
the day, another drunken loafer, "a strangely
made his appearance on our streets, talked loud,
swore and hurrahed for Lincoln. Him, they
arrested and put in Jail. 1t is great blessing

A Question to Judge Douglas
Unanswered.

Mia and Mr.. Rfchings.

We went 70 thr Theatre last Monday night,
TO zee the Daughter of the Regiment, we the
writer Of this ~articlel not having seen Miss
RtcnINes before. We found her as we expect
ed, q moot charming actress the daughtes and
pupil of PETER RICBINes could hardly be less
She sang deliciously, and her acting was
in the highest degree refined, elegant, and, at
the same time, natural. Withal, she has q beau
tiful figure, and, we think, the sweetest face
we ever saw upon the stage. Indeed, 1t Is very
hard to meet with u sweeter, on or on the
stage.
Mr.. RIcHfSGs is the same PETER RIcHiSGs
that he was twenty-seven years ago, when We
saw him play Sir BENJAMIN BAckBiTK, tn the
old Park Theatre, "Consnle Planco," ttha' 49,
SIMPSON being Manager and FANNY kEMBLE
being in all her glory. We shall never forget
that cast-"Sir Peter TeaZie,' Mr.. PLAciDE;
Charles Surface" MIR. GAS. kEAnLE; sir
benjamin Backbite," Mr.. kiCHINGs Lady
Teazie,n Miss FANNY KEMBLE. Time, NO
vember, i.3.. Mr.. RICHlsGs was, at that time,
one OF the handsomest young men In New
York, and a deadly enemy 10 the peace OF the
| young ladies in the boxes. Wenaye often seen
him since, at the Walnut Street in Phlladei-
| phia, and We never saw him fail on any coca
sion, or play in any character which he did
not sustain better than any other actor we eNer
saw try it. ION CESAR DE BAzAN, for in
stance, always appears TO us tame ana ihsip'o,
simply because nobody plays it like he USED 10
play it. We are glad 10 see the veterans pow
! ers mellowed, rather than impaired by time.
But Miss KICHISGs, with her sweet voice
and beautiful features, is the great ATTRACTION
lust now.

Black Republican Spies in the South.

The statement of The New York CORES pom
dent Of the Mobile Register, on this subject,
which we published yesterday, is oil a start
ling character, yet not more SO Than many ex-
traordinary incidents developed an the last
tour months. According to this statement,
spies were sent in September last to every
Southern State, to examine into and report the
extent of arms and ammunition in the South
that could be used in March, 1861, should SKw-
ARDS taking his seat be opposed. 1t is easy
enough to pooh-pooh ! such things; but they
are not more absurd and improbable than a
prediction OF the raid Of JOHN BRowN would
have appeared i'll August last, and they are
not too bad for the party which endorsed and
circulated the HELLER book. Whether the
story BE- true or false, however, the fact which
the spies are alleged TO have reported is un-
fortunately beyond dispute, viz, that the

IMPORTS OF DRY GooDs.-We learn from
the Journal Of that The imports Of
dry goods at the port of New York for the
year 1859 have been larger by nearly twenty
million dollars tnan for any previous year in
the history OF the country, and nearly fifty
three million dollars larger than for the year
1855. A part of this increase has doubtless re.
suited from the depression in this trade which
succeeded the finaneial reyulsion Of 1857.
