ENDORSING DoUGLAs.-The Assembly have
passed resolutions endorsing the position of
Mr.. Douglas. in the present issue, by vote of
Al to % Mr.. Douglas position in brief, is
compromise or war. He is for compromise
frst but for the country, one and indivisible
at all hazards. He regards the withdrawal of
a State as rebellion, and cause for war, if not
peaceably adjusted Regarding this position
as correct, we predict backing down on the
part of the secessionists of the Assembly.
They simply indorsed Douglas that they might
attach to that endorsement denial of the
right to use force.
INDIANA.-The Indiana Legislature, on the
l4th of January, elected Henry S. Lane, the
present Governor of that State, TO the U. s.
Senate, in place of Graham n. Fitch, whose
term of treason and subscribing will expire on
the 4th of March next. Fitch aud Bright, by
their course in the Senate, Republicanized In
diana, and the Republicans ought to have re-
elected them. Their not doing so only proves
that, while they admired and profted by their
treason, they secretly despised the traitors

WoN'r TOLERATE HIM-Wendell Phillips
was announced to speak at Boston on the Goth.
The Anti-Slavery Society asked protection
for him from Mayor Wlghtman, who refused
to protect Phillips, but assured the Society
that the peace of the city shall be maintained.
The Society then sought protection from Gov.
Andrews, who sent his aids to see what Mayor
Wightman proposed to do. The Mayor re-
piled that he would maintain the peace of the
city, and if any disturbance was attempted, the
hall would be closed, and that if there were
any indications of row before the doors were
opened, the hall would be kept closed. Pro-
lection was asked for the Annual Anti Slavery
Meeting, TO be held the next week, but it was
refused.

Rusr AND Telegraphic dispatches
having stated that there was prospects of a
hostile collision between Congressman Rust of
Arkansas, and Congressman Dunn, of Indiana,
We deem it proper to give our readers report
of what passed between them as per further
report:
The House resumed the consideration of the
report of the Committee of Thirty-three.
Mr.. Rust, of Arkansas as member ofthat
Committee, said that he had entered upon his
duty with desire to do whatever he could to
give peace, aid regretted that his efforts met
with no proper response. 1t appeared to him
that John Brown was the martyr and the hero
of the Republican party.
Mr.. Dunn, of Indiana, said that the Chicago
Platform expressly CONDEMNED all John Brown
raids. As member of that Committee he
had discharged his duty without reference to
the Chicago Platform, and, as to the Republi-
can party sympathising with that raid, every
body, North ard South, knew that it was an
infamous libel on the Republican party, and he
was surprised that any gentleman, in this time
of the countrys peril, could give circulation to
it. Sensation.
Mr.. Rust said, with reference to the infamous
libel made use Of by the gentleman from lndi-
ana, hope he is responsible for it AS this
is time Of war we must wage war, and | de-
sire to know whether the gentleman announced
to the House and the country that he was
responsible for what he said | want to know
that. If he is for war, am willing to accom-
modate him with war.
Mr.. Dunn-1his is free country, and the
gentleman can take any measure or any mode
of redress he pleases.
Mr.. Rust (with emphasis)-I have the an
swer | want
Mr.. Dunn desired always to be right in
whatever he may have uttered in response to
the gentleman from Arkansas. What he in
tended to say was this, namely That the
declaration that the Republican party sympa-
thzed with John Brown was a lcbel on that
party. lie did not intend to use offensive Ian
guage TO the gentleman, but made the re-
mark believing the charge to be libelous on
the Republican platform and party"
Mr.. Kust-1'he gentleman from Indiana
says he did not intend to make the offensive
remarks in an offensive sense. | have the
right to demand an unqualified retracton of
the remark.
Mr.. Dunn have made all the explanation
| have felt it my duty to make.
Mr.. Rust-Very good
Adjourned.
The matter between Representatives Rust
and Dunn is in the hands of their friends. 1t
is not expected that any hostile meeting will
grow out Of it.

Mr.. HARRIS, of Butte, said, in introducing
his resolution endorsing Crittendens compro-
mise, that he wanted to know whether the
House was National in its character and poll
tics, or whether the Republican party had pos
session of it." Something of this kind was ne
cessary in order to save the late Breckinridgers,
as they had been voting with the Republicans
against joint convention to elect Senator.
He only wanted to see whether the Republi-
can party had really captured his aflinities!"
Mr.. Harris is not disposed to surrender the
Breckinridgers to the Republicans without an
effort and when his affinities shall have
again voted with the Republicans against
joint convention, doubtless he will again intro
duce some question to divide them, and thus
dispel the idea that the party of his afnities"
could possibly fuse with the Republicans upon
any proposition.

DOEST1CK HEARS FROM DAMPHOOI4, My mind is much relieved. I have heard from Damphool-from the original Damphool, of whom have for some time past lost track have had my fears that he had been elected President, and was the individual who has been boss of the country at Washington under the name of James Buchanan James has done so many things to warrant the belief that he is my old friend under feigned name, that have often trembled in my editorial boots at the thought tn. had been instrumental in bringing him before the people. Icannot say that James himself has done so much of anything to relieve himself from suspicion; but I have had heavy load from my mind by the receipt of a document which sets the whole matter at rest. James Bu- chanan is not Damphool that is, not Me Dam phool; he is, I have no doubt very nearly related to the family and doubtless, could read his title clear" back to the great progenitor of all Dam phools. gentleman of the name, l think, of A dam, who lived in the town of Paradise, county and State to the deponent unknown.
 But great Damphool is in Charleston, South Carolina. He is a soldier there; he is serving in the trenches, or the batteries, or in whatever other place South Carolina pats her chosen sons. He has many relatives therein fact I believe that every man iu South Carolina is con- nected with the Damphool family by blood or

 BROTHER DEMOCRATS At the close of my first number was speaking of our duty to rec tify public sentiment at the North, on the sub ject of Slavery. The task before us, is to remove the prejudice and scruples against slavery, that now exist here to such sad extent, and to in- troduce men into the Christian liberty of hold ing their fellow-men in bondage, not merely black men, but white also. And was suggest ing, the hopefulness of the undertaking. although at first thought, it might appear to be beset with great difficulties. A great revolution of opinion on this subject has taken place at the South within few years and a most encouraging be- ginning has been already made at the North, especially in OFT ranks.

A STORY. BY ROSE TERRY.

BY ROSE TERRY. In a gleam of sunshine a gentian stood, Dreaming her life away, While the leaves danced merrily through tn
 wood, And rode on the wind for play. She stood in the light and looked at the sky, Till her leaves were as fair blue; But she shut her heart from the butterfly And the coaxing drops of dew. She stayed the idlest bee That ever fingered to hear the tune Of the wind in rustling tree. He had golden cuirass on,
 And a surcoat black as night, And he wandered ever from shade to sun, Seeking his own delight. Now were the blossoms of Summer fed, And the humble-bee felt the frost He knew that the actors all lay dead, And the honey vine cups were lost SoLc poised and futtered above the flower, And tried his tenderest arts, With whispers and kisses a weary hour, Till he opened her heart of hearts. Not for love of the gcntian blue,
 But for lis own wild will; All he wanted was honey-dcw,
 And there he drank his fill. No more dreaming in sun or shade! It never could close again The gentian withcred, alone, dismayed; The bee flew over the plain.
