HE RAplcALs.-Senator Doolittle made u
speech at Madison, Wisconsin, on the lst inst.
from which We extract the following telling
truths:
But. fellow citizens, tell you, and assure
you. it is as certain, in my Judgment. as God
lives and reigns, that unless the people in this
country sustain Andrew johnson now in his de.
termined effort to sustain this Union and 10 ar
rest the mad career of this wild tendency 10
centralization, Your constitutional liberties are
engu!fed IN u vortex from which they will new.
or rise. That tendency is to the despotism of a
tyrannlcal caucus-,he menncst of all deepo-
down.
."-re has occurred this session, in relation
to eaueuses, in Congress, what never occurred
before In the history of the Government, and
that 49, that caucuses Undertook TO bind their
mem Lers upon questions of legislation. Aud
yet these men have suffered themselves to be
led end bound hand and foot aud many oi

House OF Representative. again-t their judy
ment, have been led by Thaddeus Stevens and
the men associated With him, to make this un-

B- We had the pleasure few days since
of hearing onr friend, James NJ. Martin, "of the
creek describe in his own inimitabl. way, his
adventures in obtaining restitution of certain
"grey mule" which had been felonously pur-
: loined from his premises. and another from that
Of Squire Giles, by one Hale, white man,
and "another digger" named Cosy. They had
been duly arrested, and lodged in the Shelby,
(N CO. Jail, and thereby "hangs tale" The
best of the joke, however, and which onr
friend sometimes omi,s in the narrative, is, that
he came near being lodged in Jail himself for
having tho stolen property in his possession.
Cosy. according to his own .account. was an
innocent victim, "moro sinned against than
SHINING" Hale, by concurrent testimony.
seems to be an accomplished rogue. He was
only short time since in the employ of our
friend, and they split on the question. "Wheth-
er cutting wheat was regular worki" Hale
thought not, and bctook himself to horsesteal-
ing and other irrCyn'ar habits and with what
results we see. Our friend gives graphic nc.
count OF the "ways and menns' sc .p,.l to
secure the prisoners at night on their way
homeland what between "cords and staples, -
the prison walls seem mere circumstance to
his mode of making assurance double sure"
We congratulate him upon his success.
