The funeral of Mrs. Anna Murray
Douglass, wife of Hon Frederick
Douglass, who died last Friday from
Paralysis, took place yesterday af-
ternoOn at her husbands residence,
Cedar Hill, UniOntOwn. The eere-
monies were conducted by Rev. DIR.
VIM. Waring, formerly of Ohio,
pastor of Berean Baptist Church,
who preached an eloquent sermon,
taking his text from the beautiful
parable OF the wise and foolish viz
gins. The funeral was very largely
attended indeed, there being present
fully three thousand persons, at least
one-thIrd of whom were white
friends of the great orator and his
lamented companion The remains
were followed to the grave, which
is grace cemetary, beyond the north
western boundary of Washington,
by nearly an hundred carriages,
and was accompanied by a great
number on foot, who plOdded along
under the blazing sun to do honor
to their loved friend.
The pall-bearers were ex-senator
Blanche X. Bruce, James WOrmley,
John F. Cook, Robert Parker, B. d.
Woods, and DIR. Green. Among
the many present were Hon. Geo.
C. Smith, ex-senator of Mississippi +;
Professor Greener, Hon. Robert
Smalls, of South Carolina; Hon.
John r. Lynch, of Mississippi; Col.
Perry Carson, and other represen-
tative colored men. Mrs Douglass,
who was SO years of age, was born
in Maryland, in the same neighbOr-
hood with Mr. Douglass, of free pa
rents. She became engaged to her
future husband when he was still a
slave, but he declared that he would
never marry i'm slavery, so she
waited until he ran away and then

THE CAMPAIGN OPENED.
have music

On last Saturday the Liberals had
q grand time in Concord. In the
forenoon Col. Charles r. Jones form
ally declared himself a candidate
for Congress, and made an able and
long speech defining his position.
He was followed by Col. VIM. john
son, who took broad grounds against
the Democratic party, the county
government and the effort to force
prohibition upon the people.
After Col. Johnson was through, the
meeting adjourned for one hour, and
then the two great Liberal warehouses
delivered themselves freely to the
delight of the packed house. Mr..
Charles Price and Gen. ]. M. Leach
are a powerful team anywhere.
Everybody was delighted with the
speeches, and one could see from
the countenance OF those old farm
ers and business men of Cabarrus
that they heartily approved Of the
speeches.
At night the candidates for Solicit
tor had tilt. Means had consider
ably the. advantage Of Osborne, and
each seemed to feel it very forcibly,
Each defined his position very clear
lip. Mr.. Means took strong grounds
against the present county govern
ment, while Mr.. Osborne did not
only defend and declare in its favor,
but went further: He thinks the
Legislature ought to elect the Judges
and Solicitors. Means won the first
battle.

publicans, we ventures few remarks.
We may not be justifiedin such pre-
sumption, yet many others think as
VIC do about this.
We are very liberal. just now, and
will support any Democrat, almost
who is willing to divide the ticket
equally and support us. No liberal
hearted, honest Liberal will ask us
to support them when they do not
intend to support us, and none such
need apply. All we ask for is a
liberal offer and we will support the
Liberal ticket most heartily.
We hope the County Convention
will consider us of some Importance,
or worthy of some respect at least,
and not at the disposal of any one
man. If they mean to go independ-
ent of us, why, its all right; we will
go Independent of them-two par
ties can be defeated a little easier
than one. We have a Republican
organization, and if the Liberals
want us to assist them in defeating
the Bourbons, we demand a finger In
fixing the slate. We want to name
the Republicans to be voted for, at
least.
We do not intend any threats to
the Liberals or any one else, but
simply say this to them as piece OF
friendly warning. Our party IS or
ganized and we intend to go in the
fight this year to win. Two years
ago we lacked less than hundred
votes of carrying this county against
all Democrats combined, and We be-
lieve it will be an easy task to win
this year with the enemy divided.
Let our leaders look to their duty.
We are willing, though, to insure
success, to give the Liberals a part
of the ticket to have their support
for our part and you may call it
coalition, liberalism, fusion, or what
you may.
We ask the Liberals in all candor
to consider we'll what they do. Let
no man be put upon the ticket who
cannot accept and vote for Republic
cans. None who expects to win on
his whiskey record for fear it may
be like Col. A. M. WaddelPs legisla-
tive whiskey, viz, too weak to run
down hill. Remember, also, the Re-
publicans are to hold convention,
and it is not at all certain that they
will accept your work, and if they
do not, there is nothing for you but
defeat. Remember.

What is TIE Monroe Doctrine

What is known az the Monroe
Doctrine" had It's origin and name in
a recommendation Of President Mon
roe, in one Of his messages to Congress
at a time when Spain was making ar
engagements to reconquer and subdue
her various colonies in America, which
had revolted and established their in
dependence in 1919, 30 and 81. 1t
was apprehended by the American
Government that the despotic sway in
Europe, after the overthrow Of Napol-
con and the re-establishment OF the
despotic sway in Europe, would lend
aid TO conquer and subdue the Span
ish colonies, which had then become
independent States; and that while a
portion of them would, in this event
be restored to Spain, the others might
be divided among the various powers
of Europe In view of this probable
result, President Monroe declared, in
his message to Congress, with view
Of its being taken as notice to all
Europe, that no portion of the Amer
can Continent was hereafter to be
deemed open to European colonization
and that the United States would con-
slider any such attempt as imposing
upon them the obligation to tai Ike such
steps as were necessary to prevent it.
This declaration assumed the name Of
the Monroe Doctrine; and it has fre-
quently been appealed to by Ameri-
can statesmen as a rule to be inhexi-
bly, adhered to whenever any Euro
pean power has threatened or attempt
ed to extend its dominons upon the
American Continent-North, South or
Central America. This doctrine does
not contemplate any interference on
the part Of the United States with the
existing rights of colonial possessions
Of any European power, but was a
protest against the extension Of their
power and policy in the future.

SUPERIOR, KiS.. SATURDAY., JUNE 10. 1852.

Our compliments to the highly
intelligent and complimentary cores
pendent of the Globe. No wonder he
had distorted vision-and famed his
leg, after having slept all night in the
enormous brewery at Duluth,
which, according to his letter, was his
last stopping place before arriving in
Superior. The young mans stomach
was disordered by too much beer, and
his temper spoiled, by being cleaned
out at q half dozen games of billiards
by an old resident Of the coming me-
tropolis. Taken all in all this young
man proved himself to be genuine
descendant of the animal Of the sonor-
Gus voice, and elongated ears. No one
in Superior cares for his slurs, and nei-
Their are they interested in the amount
the Duluthians 'put up" for him to do
the job. His letter was tissue of lies
and Misrepresentation from begin
ming to end. Had he drank Milwau-
kee lager instead of drenching himself
with the swash known as Duluth beer,
We might have been spared some ofhis
twaddle.

Of the rum soaked bastard that done"
Superior for the St. Paul Dispatch, we
quote as follows:
The government is engaged in its

Dor and sinking its appropriation"
Had the pimp been halfway sober,
or intelligent he would not have made
this blunder. There is not a govern
ment dredge here at all, and no gov
eminent funds will be available for
any such purpose for some months.
The three dredges his bleared eyes
saw are all operated by the Northern
Pacific Company, on their own dock
work. The above is but one of his
statements and it just as true as any
he made regarding Superior. The ed
itor of the Duluth Tribune, by pub
fishing this lie, well knowing it to be
such, without word of explanation,
puts himself upon the same level with

entirely and in place of being painted
on the inside, all the work is inlaid in
the choicest designs. A gentleman's
smoking room and toilet room occupy
one end, after which come the usual

inducement as is possible to arouse the
desire of newly-married couples TO

with the finest of hanging, and every
thing one could wish for in the shape
of a palace ear will be found on these.

evening, and it is worth the time of
any one to examine the latest results
Of modern art on wheels.

are fourteen in number, one-half being
owned by the Chicago & Northwestern
road. The cars were made for their
use by the Pullman Palace Car Com

truck. The inside of the cars are fin
ished with hard wood partially inlaid
