A DOUGLAS DEMOCRAT on SLAVE

Of the lost treasure, after battling the
lions and the giants, lac approached
The mighty gate behind which lay the
prize. And he looked--and 10 the
figure and the venerable face OF his
mother stood before him, and the well
known accents wildly babe him back
on peril OF bis soul. But the chosen
of heaven said to himself, Verify il
resembieth a woman Of the Holy
but what doeth the servant Of God on
The side of sin I" And he piously
struck at the figure in tie name Of
God-and To- il was a devil, which
fed bowling, leaving the treasure IN
der Jhe sword.
So il is with you. You have trod-
den the cavern Of evil up TO the gate
OF the treasure. You have fought the
good fight, and are ready to receive
your reward. And now stands before

JEFF DAVIS ON RE-UiNIoN.-In a
speech before the Legislature Of Mis-
sissippi on the 2Gth Of December, 1862,
Mr.. Davis expressed himself as fol-
lows on the matter which the Demo
cratic party now profess to think them
selves able to bring about:
"Our enemies are a traditional aud
homeless race. From the time oil
Cromwell to the present they have
been disturbers of the peace OF the
world. Gathered togethed from the
fens and boys OF the north Of Ireland
and Of England, they commenced by
disturbing The peace OF their own
country, they disturbed Holland, 10
which they fed, and disturbed Eng
land on their return. After what has
happened IN the last two years, my
only wonder is that we consented to
live for 50 long a time in association
with such m~i,creants. Wore il ever
proposed to enter again into a Union
with such a people, | would 10 more
do it than 10 thrust myself into a den
Of thieves"

Early converted his front into his rear,

the trap.
After Turing Sheridan on, Early
