Senator Douglas on the inaugural.

Senator Douglas on the inaugural
The New York Freeman's Journal speaking of
the speech of Senator Douglas, which we laid before
our readers last week, says:
"On the motion of Senator Dixon in the Senate,
on the 9Th inst to print the usual number of copies
of the Presidents Inaugural, debate occurred,
part of which we give below. Judge Douglass
remarks give US special pleasure as Illustrative of
the man-one of the statesmen who are magnani-
nous enough, while keeping in mind that personal
ends may be incompatible with the greatest good of
the country-alaoGys to prefer the general welfare
to his own interests. The aim Of the great Senator
is evident By the force of truth and of clear de-
monstration, coupled with kindness, he wishes to
smooth the way for Lincoln to act like patriot and
a statesman. He seeks TO convince him that no
other course is open for him." :.. .sr s..
Time can only develop the policy Of the admins
tration; and believe with Judge Douglas, that it
will be peaceful :s.... o.. -.-' .-.. .'.
The Freeman's Journal alluding to the mas
terly inactivity" which in its opinion will charac-
terize the administration, advises the black Repub.
cans to build no hopes Lincoln or his party.
"He is an inaiction upon the American people for
their political sins" The reasons for a peaceful
translation of the message wind up thus:
"At present, we dmiss the idea of the Repub-
cans going to war. The groundless scare at Harris
burg, ETC., the inaugural campaign at Washington,
and signs Of that kind bear none Of the features Of
"grim.visaged war" A policy of mastery mac
tiyity will probably prevail and then the twistngs
and turnings the jeaouses and miseries. the hopes
and fears, Of this paltry Republican faction, will be
sufficient at once to amuse and sadden all attentive
observers Their attempt to rule this great country
will be much like "a frightened ape trying to play
engineer to a locomotive at full speed The monkey
will fly to several expedientss; he will let up the
safety valve, pull this cord clutch at that wire
and may possible stop the machine can't run it."
1Y. Mr. Guthrie addressed large Union meet
ing at Louisville, Kentucky, on Saturday, evening
last in which he counseled moderation saying that
President Lincoln was honest in his intentions, and
that the North would ultimately accord the just
demands of the South. ,,,-, Z, T., nit. a

In the Southern Conederacy the tax on this by the

WHAT WILL SATISFY THEM We would like to
know what, short Of 6isunion and civil war; would
satisfy our disunion friends. They wanted Con-
vention, and the people said they wouldn't have it
They said Lincoln would make war, and he hasn't
done it, and they seem dlsgrun.led about that
They wanted him to withdraw the Southern troops.
and now that it is probable he will do SO, they say
he wouldn't only that he is compelled to- They are
determined not to be satisfied any way. They are
splitting their throats bawlihg "re-actionI' That
reaction" is more in their throats and on their
pens than any where else They are . personifica-
ton Of Mr.. Miserable, who is determined not to be
content They think the people are fools, and their
only CLEAN of happiness is in that thought They
breakfast on "ifs, dine on "ans,"' and sup upon

How THE JAPANESE RESTORE FADED flowers
A Nagasaki correspondent of the New York Herald
writes: -...s5 + - ..~., ,.a -... = .-.,'...r;af
AFTER boquet is dropping beyond all remedies
Of fresh water the Japanese can bring it back to all
its first glory by very simple and seemingly most
destructive operation. 1 had received some days
ago delightful bunch of flowers from Japanese
acquaintance. They continued to live in ali their
beauty for nearly two weeks, when at last they fad
ed just as was about to have them thrown away,
the same gentleman Japanese gentleman) came to
see me. showed him the faded flowers, and told him
that, though lasting long time, they had now be-
come useless. "Oh, no." said he: 'only put the
ends of the stems into the fire. and they will be as
good as before" / was incredulous; 50 he took
them himself and held the stems ends in the fire
until they were completely charred., This was in
the marning; at evening they were looking fresh
and vigorous, and have continued so for another
week. What may be the true agent in this reviv-
ing process am unable to determine fully: wbeth-
er it be the heat driving once more the last juices
into every leafiet and vein, or whether it BE the
bountifhf supply Of carbon furnished BY the char.
ring am inclined, however, to the latter cause,
as the full effect was not produced until some eight
hours afterwards and as it seems that. if the heat
was the principal agent it must have been sooner
followed BY visible changes. q -aat ss l. e .'-e.

man, nearly blind, and has family of six
yourg children. In addition to that embar-
1sssment, he had large crop ungathered, and
vast amount Of business unsettled. He WAS
forced, however, to gather together hastily
whatever he could, aud with bis family was
driven aWaY from his home. There Is no ac-
cusation whatever against the individuals thus
driven from their homes cave that they enter
