"sTEPHEN A. DOUGLAS Is DE ADJ
Never within the history of our city has
the telegraph borne TO US an item which
created so universal and heartfelt sadness
as the one above quoted. Our country S
annals scarce furnish an example of one
who has achieved more signal triumphs
in the race for fame. From a poor and
friendless mechanic, with no advantages
not possessed by every New England boy,
be has by his indomitable energy advanc-
ed step by step until his most violent op |
ponents have been forced to the acknow-
ledgment that among all our statesmen be
had no superior In all the positions
which he has occupied in his upward
career, there has been no failure. No dark
stain left to mar biz record, but 10 all he
has acquitted hims.'f with honor, and
established in all, bis claim to future pro-
motion.
As member of the U. S. Senate, I'M
the most trying period of our history, he
has stood forth as the champion of the
people, and the name of no one will occu-
Ply q nobler position upon the historic
page which notes the stirring events Of the
past few years. No one ever exhibited
greater heroism in repelling assaults-and
yet, none more magnanimously awarded
the need Of praise to an honorable oppo-
nent. No living man labored m lore
earnestly and faithfully to aver. the blow
that has fallen upon our Natlon-result
ing in civil war; yet, none were more de !
cided and loyal in promptly avowing their
determination of oholding at all hazards
the Constitution, and of enforcing the!
laws.
Comparatively young and of great ply
steal endurance, it was fondly hoped
that many years Of usefulness were yet.
before him. His ability, conservatism
and great popularity with the masses!
seemed peculiarly to qualify him for the||
position Of great leader in the presenti
crisis. 1t seemed to be the general ex-;
pectation that in some way be was to be,
an instrument for restoring peace to our.
distracted country. But He who doeth,
all things well has ordered otherwise sand.
while We unite in the general sentiment
that a great calamity has bafallen our

Military authorities pronounce Secession

Consider it almost certain, that owing to the
consummate skill of Gen. Scott, as shown
in his maneuvres, the Rebels will gradually
allow themselves to be pushed back to James

TI,e ThIrty Yenrs conspiracy,

When the history Of the great Rebellion
Of lsso-6l m to be written, it will stand
iudisputably proved that it was the result Of
a long plotted, well matured conspiracy
not an uprising of the peoplei not a revOlu-
ton to remove unredressed WRONGS but a
foul conspiracy. Edward Everett, in a Pri-
waite letter, very secretly published, de-
clares his knowledge OF the fact that for
thirty years leading Southern politicians had
been resolved to break up the Union and
that the slavery question was but a pretext
for keeping up agitation aud holding the
soutb together. Indeed. Mr.. Everett clears
his record by admitting that the knowledge
of this fact was the secret Of his political
course, by which he had lost favor and intiu'
ence at home for the purpose of strengthen
ing the hands of tn patriotic Union men a
the South. The Tribune is also informed
from a Trustworthy source, that one Of tn
latest occupations of the now deceased sena
tor Douglas was a partial preparation OF
pamphlet exposing, from a personal knoWl
edge similar to that from which Mr.. Evere'
speaks, the secret Vaccinations and publ
plans of this great Southern conspiracy

griad exceedingly small"

Cov.JacLsOn's Flight.

The st. Louis Democrat of June 18th
gives an account of the flight of the lying
traitor Jackson. Previous to his departure
he caused all the bridges on the Gasconade
and Usage Railroad to be destroyed, not
w~itbstanding his promise to the President
of the road before leaving St. Louis, that he
did not intend to burn any of the bridges or
doany drmage to the road. The loss to the
Company is very heavy, and to the city will
be a severe blow.
The Democrat, in speaking Of Jackson, and
his recent act says:
UGov. Jackson's list Of crimes is now alb
solutely. appalling. He stands before the
country al a coward a liar, an incendiary
and a traitor. Can he, will he, be permitted
to escape the gallows2 The scoundrel was
gibbering with fear during his stay in our
CITY. though the assurances of protection
from Gen. Lyon were most ample. He no
doubt took the special train with the belief
that a detachment of United States troops
were TO follow Immediately in his rear, and
arrest him directly on his arrival at Jeffer-
son City. Craven and p~er6diOus himself,
he supposed others are governed by the
same vices. 1t is bad enough to be a rebel,
but to be q miserable coward to boot is
reaching a depth of degradation, until now
unexplored. Well msy the Missouri seces'
sionists hang their heads for shame, for theii
leaderin the hour of their need proves him
self to the world a feeble and yet ruthless
bastard"
