Tag DIFFERENcE- opposition in
Kentucky, at the late election; advocated a
slave code for the territory, by Congress and
their candidates were almost unit in favor
of that measure, while the Democrats op-
posed any interference by Congress for or
against slavery. The Republicans of Ohio
sympathized with the fire eaters ofK entucky
because thOy advocate the same policy, dis
solution of the Union. The fire eaters Of
the SOUTH and the 0berlitionists of the north
are on the same platform. The southern
fire eater at the north would be Republic
can-abolitienist, and northern Republican
abolitionist at the south would be a disunion
ireseater. That is just the difference be-
tween them.

COP SAVE THE QuEEy.-Wc have frequently
heard Engishmcn become exceedingly enthusi-
astic in praisng Victoria. Indeed we know of
one of her subjects who will get mad in mo-
ment if you doubt her perfection. The poor
fellow does not know that such as he are not
permitted even to speak to Queen Victoria. A
writer says the Queen may not speak to a trades
man; and Victoria has been seen standing not
yard away from one, addressing her inquiries
to equerry, who repeated them to the trades
man, and again repeated to her Majesty all his
answers.


The humblest man may speak to the wife Of
an American President, and the American Pre-
sidents wife will not feel herself contaminated
thereby, fol, perhaps, she will remember that her
husband was once a laboring man himself. How
intelligent Britons can submit to the idea that
their nobility would be contaminated by even
speaking to them, is to US inexplicable.

How RAILS Is FORMED. TO understand the
philosophy of this phenomenon, essential to
the very existence of plants and animals, a
few facts, derived from observation, and a
long train Of experiments, must he remcnl-
bcrcd Were the atmosphere everywhere at
all times, at uniform temperature. we should
never have rain, hail or snow. The wafer
absorbed by evaporation from the sea and the
eurth's surfsce would descend in an mpercep-
thle vapor, or cease to be rated. The alb
sorhing power of the atmosphere, and conse-
qdently its capability to retain humidity, is
proportionahly greater in warm than in cold
air. The air near the surface of the earth is
warmer than it is in the region of the clouds.
The higher VIC ascend from the earth the cold
er we find the atmosphere. Hence, the per-
p"tual snow on very high mountains in the
hottest climates. Now when from contin-
ucd evaporation, the air is highly saturated
with vapor, though it he invisible if its tenn
pcrature is suddenly reduced by cold currents
descending from above, or rushing from u
higher to lover latitude. its capacity to re-
tain moisture is diminished, clouds arc form
ed, and the result is rain. Air condcnses as
it cools, and like sponge filled with water
which its diminished capacity cannot hold.
How singular, yet how simple is such an ar
rangemeut for watering the earth.

times that there is little charge on the books

A venerable friend, whose memory runs
back to nearly four score years and ten, told
US story the other day, illustrative of tho
retentiveness of horses memory, which
struck US as too good not to be told again.
Tho occurrence dated back to the year of
his boyhood, and was related with all the
particulars of collateral verification. We
give it in brief


tavorite horse that had been stolen from
his stall. after an interval of two or throe
years was driven by his unsuspocting pur.
chaser to tho door of his formor owner
Tho latter asserting his right of property
and offering to submit the validity Of hi
claim to the borse's decision, the purchase
cheerfully accepted the proposal. The tes
was to be tho horse's removal of the woodel
! pin which fastened the barn door, his opon
ing the door and taking his accustomed po
sition in tho stall. On being Embarrassed
and allowed the liberty of the yard, he al
first began TO nibblo about tho borders OF
the enclosure. Presently bis eyo (be had
but one) caught sight of the stable door; re-
collections of oats and other choice proven
der seemed TO be awakened, and, without
tho slightest spparent misgiving. he pro-
ceeded TO demonstrato, much to the smuse-
mont. if not satisfaction of both plaintiff and
defendant in this novel case Of reference,
in which party the right of ownership was
vcstcd. 1t is hardly necessary to add that

THE FOREIGN GRAIN TRAD E.-The New


York Journal of Commerce notices the fol-


lowing fact connected with the foreign grain


trade


It is stated, on good authority, that bread


stuffs are lower at Liverpool than at any of


the leading Baltic ports. This would appear


to show conclusively that the continent has


already made an over expectation, and that the
future supplies for British markets must come
chiefly from this side. The excellent quality
of American wheat the current year will fa-
vor such demand, and we certainly look for
a still further increase in the export trade
hence, before the next harvest. Including the
supplies at near lake ports, there are about
four million bushels of wheat available for
shipment, so that brisk foreign demand need
not fail Of being met, or lead to any extraor.

The evidence that Messrs Brown, Davis
and Mason spoke out for themselves and
not for tie Democracy of the South, when
they demanded Congressional Intervention
for the property in the Territories, continues
to como to us. We have already quoted
literally from the Southern Democratic press
in this regard and now we have what is no
doubt the voice of the Democracy of South
Carolina. We quote from the Democratic
paper at Charlotte, of that State


ut seems to us that Mr.. Davis and Mr..
Brown requires too much in asking Con
gress to make slave code for the Territor-
Ii the people of Territory do not want
slavery, all the laws passed from now until
doomsday could not force it upon them, un
less powder and ball were used and hardly
then. No, the true policy of the South is
to favor non Intervention in the Territories
and leave the people thereof perfectly tree to
settle the question. II a majority elect to
abolish slavery, let it be so; or if a MAORI
ty establish slavery, we'll and good. We
ought not, and cannot do it if we ought.
undertake to force our institutions and Gus
toms upon any people. A we want is
equa TISuls anu eIual privileges, atlu IL VIZ
carry our slaves to a territory, and cannot
out-vote Free State men, why our property
will be subject to local laws to certain ex-
tent; but if those laws are in violation of
rights guaranteed by the Constitutions, the
Courts are the proper tribunals TO furnish a
remedy. We would sooner trust the Courts
than Congress with our rights"


That is the exact Democratic doctrine.
We agree North and South, the question of
slavery is removed from the halls of Con
gress by the settlement embraced in the
Kansas Nebraska bill. We agree hat the
people of all sections of the country have
the constitutional right to enter the Terri
tories with their property. We agree that
if the local Legislature shall pass laws which
violate the rights Of property, the remedy is
to be sought in the courts and it is the duty
of the court to furnish the remedy. We
agree that when the people of the Territories
shall come to make their constitution of
State government, they have the unqualified
right to form and regulate all their domes-
tic institutions in their own way; and that it
is the duty of Congress to admit such States,
whether they be slave or free. This is the
Democratic doctrine in nutshell, and it is
all contained in the Cincinnati platform.
