feared would result from the injudicious treat
ment of former petitions, 1 resolved to ex-
press my sentiments on that subject at least
by vote, which was all could expect to do
under the gag of The previous question; and
did so by recording it against Mr.. Ather-
toms resolutions. At the late session voted
against the course of the majority on this
question, and for the same reasons.
Since the discussion of 1886, upon the
right of petition and the power of Congress
to abolish slavery in the District, most sin.
gular revolution in sentiment, or shifting Of
position, has taken place in certain great quar-
tiers. 1 have already called your attention to
the fact that, in 1886, Mr.. Van Buren, and
his friends had to bear the assaults of the
Southern phalanx on the charge of favorine
abolition. Since 1887, however. the Wings
are sought to be inculpated on this score
To explain these changes will require some
further detail.
Mr.. Calhoun is obliged to be noticed in the
narrative, because he was, from the first. so
prominent an actor in all the proceedings in
Congress relating to this subject Ia 1886.
that gentleman, in speech delivered in the
Senate, expressed himself on the subject Of
the right of petition and the duty of Con.
gress to reject all abolition petitions. in the
following language:

in not particularly good odor at the South, and
that he will at first command but few Southern
votes in convention; it is equally true that If
the Southern States had sufficient numerical
strength to elect a president the name of Mr.
Douglas would never be heard of again in con-
nection with the highest Office in the gift of the
American people. But to be successful the
South must have the aid of Northern votes,
and to get that aid the nomination of Mr. Doug
las seems to be the only possible chance. The
necessity of the case WILL therefore, cause the
Hotspurs of the South to eat their own words,
they well knowing that if the party does not
chang together" its individual members will be
sure to hang separately.
The New York Tribune of Tuesday expresses
the opinion that the following votes are believed
to be morally certain for Douglas on the first
ballot nj Chorloetnu.

THE BASIS OF THE NEXT CONGRESSIONAL
ELEcTIoNs.-The election of Electors of Presi-
dent and Vice President and of Members of
the next or 37th Congress, will be held under
the present opportionment based on the census
of 1850. The New York Tribune, generally
accurate in political facts and statistics, in reply
to a correspondent who asks the question,
"whether the next Congress will be chosen un-
der the census OF 1850, or under that to be
taken this yearP" says, 1--WE presume it is to be
chosen under the new census" In this district
there have been but four elections under the
census of ls50-Mr Tracy once and Mr. Nor

years.

THE POTTER AND PRYOR DUEL.-Mr Pryor
ter chose bowie knives for the weapons. He
declined the contest which he had invited be-
cause the weapons chosen by his adversary were
barbarous. If bowie knives are barbarous why
then carry themp 1t is peculiarly Southern
weapon, not a Northern one, and is very often
used by Southern men in their personal con-
tests, for the vindication of their rights and
their honor. The knife too, is a favorite wea-
pom for settling personal difficulties among the
Mexicans, people which our Southern breth-
rem seem very anxious to make political COM
peers Of Does Mr. Pryor claim all the advan-
tages that may arise from his political associa-
tons and disown the disadvantages? Has ii
never occurred to Mr. Pryor that the position
of his native State in her volunteer champion
ship of Southern institutions is somewhat like
his own, there being some things there which
are little too barbarous to suit her character
and her condition.
We do not blame Mr. Pryor. nor cast any re-
reflections upon his courage at finding the bowie
knife too barbarous as a means of controversy
between legislators; but we think that it il
high time that Virginia too, should begin t.
scrutinize between the barbarous and the civil
lied, and be little more decided as to which
she will choose and which she will decline. Sh
cannot expect to provoke extremes much longe
and then decline the consequences.

VERMONT HoRsEs.-Considerab droves of
these animals have recently passed through or
from this place, on their way to other parts of
the country. Our farmers ought 10 be careful
to see that the growing demand for their horses
does not diminish their stock on hand so much
as to deprive them of the breed, than which
there is no other superior for family use.
These droves remind us of the time, some
forty years ago, when the little, hardy Canadian
horses used to be sent through here on their
way to New Haven where they were shipped
to the West Indies They were used there for
the purpose of grinding sugar cane but often,
during the voyage, and when arrived among
the Gains of the tropics, whole cargoes persisted
from thirst and were thrown overheard. Hence
arose the name of "Horse Latitudes"

MATTERS AT WAsMINGToN.-Cong has
done "nothing to speak CT during the past
week. The two Houses will not adjourn for
the more important meeting at Charleston, but
the absence of many MEMBERSHIP democrats
at convention and the republicans paired with
them at homc,-will prevent the transaction of
any important business at present In about
three weeks the republicans will have a conven-
ton on their hands which will make another
delay; putting this and that together we must
wait until the LIST of June before the wheels Of
legislation roll rapidly.
The House investigating committee have
smoked out Buchanans famous letter TO Robert
J. Walker, wherein he declares that the submits
sion of the Constitution to the people Of Kan
sas is the point on which Gov Walkers success
is to depend, and that on this question he is
himself prepared,to stand or fall, as at is the
principle Of the Kansas Nebraska bill; the
principle of Popular Sovereignty and the prin-
ciple of Popular Government" This letter
will make some music at Charleston.

THE CHARLESTON NOMLNA TON

The democratic national convention will meet
at Charleston, South Carolina, on Monday, and
in the course of next week will probably make
q nomination of candidates for the presidency
and vice presidency. As the time approaches
the result is canvassed freely in political circles,
and all parties are watching the indications
which may affect the selection with great inter
est.
Ever since the contest in Illinois which re-
suited in his reelection to the United States
Senate, we have believed that Stephen A. Doug
las would be the next democratic candidate for
the presidency; and this is the basis of that
opinion: The Southern States may be practi-
cally considered as certain to go for any demo-
crat who shall be nominated at Charleston
Maryland and Missouri seem to be the only
possible exceptions. Reckoning the Southern
States as sure, it becomes necessary for the
democrats to nominate the man who is strong
est in the Northern States in order to stand the
least possible chance for success; and it mus
be conceded By all, we believe, that Mr. Doug
las is that man. 1t is true that Mr. Douglas il

"HE IS roo YOUNG"

"Old men for counsel and young men for ac-
tion," is very excellent rule in general, but in
particular there may be, we submit, such thing
as running it into the ground. The constitu-
ton of the United States very wisely provides
that Presidents shall have attained the age of
thirty-fve, Senators that of thirty and Rep
resentatives that of twenty-five years, respec-
lively, before they shall be severaly eligible for
office. Most of our state constitutions are, so
far as we are informed, silent upon this subject;
but in some states practice has made up for this
efficiency by raising the cry, "Oh! he's too
yonng he can afford to watt" if man hap
pens to be named in connection with an impor-
tant office before he has attained to the mature
and mellow age of 'three score years and ten,"
AS if the object of nomination was to pay
off some old debt, or to pension some sold
public functionary,' rather than to put the right
man in the right place.
These suggestions occurred to us on reading
the following extract from letter of "Warring-
ton," the Boston correspondent of the SPRING
field Republican, in relation to the presidential
nomination to be made at Chicago:
81 observe that since the Connecticut and
Rhode Island elections, the Washington pol
iticians are talking about Judge Mclean. 1t

men. If we can find man who remember
Braddock's defeat, or the sege of Louisburg
we shall get along well enough. But we cal
do nothing with one who was merely boy whe
the revolution broke out. What can he be ex
pected to know, except from hearsay and ira
dition, of the principles of 1.-THE fathers ?" An
hearsay and tradition are very imperfect guides
No, no . This coming election must be contes
ted on grave principles. Let's have no boy

THE New GOLD AND SILVER MINES OF
CALpoRNIA.-GREAT EXcITEMENT.-The last
Overland Mail brings advices from Carson VAL
ley of the following exciting tenor:
carson CITY, April 4, 1859.
The excitement in regard to the silver and
gold mines in this region is unabated. Hum
dreds are pouring in from an parts of Califor-
mis-. Scarcely company who are prospecting
have failed in striking rich ore where they an
ticipated to find it. The mineral region ex-
tends for one hundred miles in every direction,
and rich discoveries have been made over one
hundred miles up the Humboldt. The Spanish
claims, situated where the mines we're first OPEN
ed, were yielding $4,000 per day. Ground is
changing hands from 800 to 5000 per foot.
The Memo Lake and Walker River country
is rich in minerals. Hundreds are prospecting
in that region, and generally with good success,
Ore is now being shipped to San Francisco for
smelling. Five different companies are making
arrangements to ship their ore as soon as con-
veyance can be had. The ore sent yields from
$4,000 to $500 per ton Discoveries of gold
bearing quartz are being made every day. Ma
ehinery of every description is on its way here
for the purpose of crushing, smelling, &c.
Town property in different localities ranges
high. Many proof buildings are under con-
struction. The population is increasing very
fast and it is thought that in two months the
population will be fifty thousand. Society is
very bad. There are no laws for the collection
of debts or the punishment of criminals, and
murders and fights are OF daily occurrence"

FIREs.-A destructive fire occurred at White
hall, n. Y, on Friday afternoon Of last week.
destroying over $4,000 worth of property
At one time it was feared that the damage would
be much larger, and accordingly messengers
were dispatched to Troy, Saratoga, and Rut-
land, VT, for assistance.
A fire occurred in Grand Rapids, Mich, Sun
day evening, destroying 10 wooden buildings,
nine of which were stores, and all valued at
S25, 000 insured for $4,000.
St Johns Mich, suffered to the amount of
100000 by fire Monday morning. Among
the Offices destroyed was that of The Republic
can with its types and presses.
The Round House and Machine shops of the
Illinois Central Railroad, at Chicago, were to-
tally DESTROYED by fire Wednesday morning.
-Four locomotives and large number of lathes
forges, patterns, and machinery were also de-
stroyed. The fire is supposed to have been
kindled from sparks from the copper ROOM
Loss Sl50,000 covered by insurance in the
Liverpool and London companies.
The business part of the town of Woodstock
n. b., was entirely destroyed by fire last Mon
day night, 10th inst. Over one hundred build
ngs were burned. Loss estimated at over
S300,000 Insurance amounts to above So
600. The telegraph Office being destroyed anC
the instruments injured, we have not obtained
any further particulars.

the river vaics of the West and submerged
portions of the canal along the Potomac have
not yet reached this region Of countryj and
when our turn at stormy weather does come,
it is anticipated that we shall have q fall OF
snow. 1t is observed that although the wealth
err has been fine and coaxing, yet the buds do
not appear to venture forth With much conf
dence as if they still feared to trust in such UNI
scasonablc though winning smiles. From a
friend upon the Hudson we learn that the sea-
son is backward there. lie stys;--

sharp winds worthy to he classed with the Mis-
TRIAL which used to sting my ears along the
Rhone-as boisterous as the BIsE, whose fury
! shall never forget as il drove the sand and
gravel in our faces while we were skirting the
lakes of Geneva, Neufchatel and Bienne in
March or April 1858. The French and Swiss
gales, which seem TO have their cradles in the
Alps aud Pyrennees, could not be surpassed by
our Allegheny blows in grooming the sky clear
of clouds. During their prevalence the sun
shines from an azure overhead without shad-
ow, while the horizon, which is usually so mis-
ty and thick, is free from all vapor They fairly
scorch the skin with the intensity OF their fierce
dryness. But at night, however, rain often
succeeds the clear day, and, like as when Virgil
sang euogzing the weather during the Angus
tan games, Jupiter Pluvius shares the empire of
the skies with Caesar Ventosus."
