speeoh Of Senator Ihmglas
; Senator Douglas lately deliyered a' speech
cn the Kansas question in the U. S. Senate,
the concluding portion of which. wo give be

Wn.stitutionalrightn-"-" Itaz4rding the prizes
of ambition and the prospects of political
promotion"--he iv receiving the adinira
-tion and applause of every true lover of his
country :
, •
Mr. Douglas said
The lifack-itcimblican party was organ
ized and founded on the fundamental princi
ple of perfect and claire equality of rights
and privileges between the negro and the
white man—an equality secured and guar
anteed-by a law higher than the Constitu
tion of the United States. In your creed,
av proclaimed to the world:you stand pledged
against the admission of tiny more slave
States;"
TlPrepeal the Fugitive Slave law ;
To - abolish the slate trade between the
States ;
To prohibit slavery in the District of col.
unit). ;
To restore the prohibition on Kansas and
Nebraska; and
To acquire nO more territory unless slavery
shall be first prohibited.
This is your creed, authoritatively pro
claimed. 1 trust there is no evading or
dodging the issoes —no loweiing of- the flag.
Let each party stand by its principle, and
the issues as you _hale presented them,
and we have aaCupled Slam. Let us
have 'a fair, bold tight before the Peo
ple, and Hail let the verdict be pronou n ced.
Mr Sem:nil- You will have it.
Mr. Douglas -- I rejoi, e in this assurance.

are to be lan' aside in order to take up some
new man who has out antagonized with the
great principle of self-government and State

this line of policy you dare not allow your
Committees in the House of !Represents

I have a story to tell, which my' rvaderii
may believe if they like, or bring a battery
of scientific explanation to bear upon, if
they choose. I can offer no' impartial
opinion op the sabject, being the party ; in
terested.
I only undertake to tdrthe story lat. hap
pencil to me.
I was born in one of tu.midtand counties
of England, miles away from the sea,
large old.fushionedliiinse of black and white,
the upper story Or which everlinnit the
lower, and the door of which stood back in
a deep porch. The joists and floors were of
fine oak, and all the tables, benches, presses
—iudeed all the furniture was of oak some
of it rude and clumsy, bniThc greater part
beautifully,carNed.
.
I.lily find notiothihr-WhiliStery were ta-
ken from my mother's bedstead, which Was
clitirVlS of rook, and carved all over wth
liginVi of angels, ..Idam and Eve, the serpent,
and the Virgin slid
The house was still called the Ul,l nail,
although it had litipinne little. better than a
farm-house. It stood at sonic distance from
the road; a gate on the road side led up a
paved way with a row of sheds filled with
carts, ploughs, and Wiwi% implements, cm
one hand, and, a large cattle-pond on the
other, into a spacious farm-yard, built round
with stables, barns and outbuildinp,a, all
wearing an old Saxon stamp that I have
never seen elsewhere. A wicket gate on the
side of the yard - opened into' a large garden
which fronted the house. This gagden had
several broad gravel a alks, and two alleys
covered with turf, and hedged with yew
trees cut into all manner of quaint (haloes.
Beyond the garden WAS an orchard contain
ing, ainongst otar trees, sonic old mulberry
trees, winch my sister and myself - were
taught to regard with greatytivereurt , .
Beyond this orchard lay ploughed helds
a 4 meadows, all belonging to any father.
No other dwelling was in sight, except a
few cottages belonging to the farm ser
vants.
My father and mother were cousins, and
Ixhh xrre descimiled from the same old Sax
on family who had possessed their land long,
before the Conquest- lit the .course of
years the property- had dwindled down to
the farm on which Ia as horn. We had no
relation. There certainly was an uncle, a
merchant in Liverpool, of whom I sometime!'
heard ; grit he 1,..as an offshoot of a distant
branch, and, being in trade, was considered
to have forfeited all claim to be considered
One of the family.
I Was the only sea-- Lad-mia-i.i.inr
years younger than gentle, pretty
child wtl6 long golden locks. She was
callid Edith. All the' education I received,
years at the giammar school -a
curious old endowment, held by a " clerk in
orders," tO teach Latin and scholarship to
all' the boys'iii the parish of ',Nigel/ Laver.
There were about a dozen besides myself;
and unless the master liiidbeen endow, ed WWI
' the common nelnic to, teach ti's writing ned
I arithmetic, and afewi common branches of
educatien, t don't think we should liaye had
more learning than 'rem Thtimb carried in
money from King arthur's . tireasitry; whioh,
as everybody knows, was a silver thrwa
peace. My companions were the eons of
mnall farmers; and came at intervals, when
they were nut wanted at home.
My sister EditL never wont to school at

and was taught to be notable.' As, we
eoutknually heard' tint we wore all that re
mained of the Wind family in the county,
wet learned to attach p mysterious importance
to ourselves.
So-we grew 'up, aud, did not find our GiveY

These are the rocks of Scarlet in the

When we hat clambered tip the rocks, and

Not long since, two stylish-looking persolls
put up for the night in the - upper part of the
city. On the morrow ; after ordering their .
bill, they sent for the landlord, who was not
long in waiting upon his aristocratic goestst
"I wish to purchase that old clock up
stairs ; will you sell it'!" asked the older, '
while the younger lit a cigar, and ,cast hii
oyes over the columns of a newspaper which
lay upon the table. The landlord, who had
placed no great v alue upon the gook except
