THE MAIDEN'S PRAYER. I= She rose from her delicious sleep, And put away her soft brown hair And, in a tone as low and deep As love's first whisper, breathed a proyei Her snow-white hands together press'd, IIcr• blue eyes sheltered in the lids, The folded linen on her breast, dust swelling with the charms it hid. And from her long and flowing dress Escaped a brave and snowy foot, Whose step upon the earth did press Like a snow-flake, white and mute, And then from slumbers, soft and warm, Like a young spirit fresh front heaven, She bowed that slight and matchless form And humbly prayed to be forgiven. 0, God! if unsoiled as these Need daily mercy from thy throne— if she upon her beaded knees, Our holiest and our purest one ; She with a face so clear and bright, We deem her sonic stray child of light! If she with those soft eyes and tears, Day after day in her young years, Must kneel and pray for grace from thee, What far, far greater need have we; How hardly if the win not heaven, Will our wild ci rors be forgiven! (&teresling atlisttitm. Economy. We have but a faint notion of economy in this country, awd there are few persons who seem able to exercise its spirit in their mode of living. As a general thing, young people, clerks, and the like, calculate to live fully up to the amount of their income, if indeed they do not out-run its limits and become involved in debt. So with married inert of humble means, they calculate to spend about as much as they get, and often find themselves involved in debts they cannot liquidate. Now there is a simple rule which, if adopted, would make people quite independent. In the first place, let a man's income be ever so small, he should calculate to save a little, and lay it by, if only five or ten dollars a year. This will be• sure to keep him from running in debt, and as soon as he finds that he has a sum of money saved, there is a nat ural incentive to add to that amount, and thus unwittingly, as it were, he begins to ac cumulate. This operation once commenced, he will be surprised to see how fast his means improve ; and then the slow but sure increase of principal by the accumulation of interest is a matter of clear gain. In this relation our own style of saving banks, and new five cent saving hanks, are accomplishing a work of great good, being practical suggestions to the people that cannot fail of their influ ence. Never purchase any article of dress or lux ury until you can pay cash for it ; this is a most important rule to observe, and the credit system, in fact, has done quite as much to ruin debtors as creditors. A vast number of little expenses (hut large in the aggregate) would be saved it' one always paid the money for the same at the time of purchase, in place of having it charged. Pay as you go, is a golden rule, and it is true economy. Many a poor man could build a house over his head, and own it, with the price of the ci gars and tobacco lie has used, to say noth ing of the worse than useless " drinks" of beer and had spirits, in which, from time to time, lie has allowed himself to indulge.— Avoid any habit, however simple it may be at the outset, which involves unnecessary ex pense ; one leads to another, and all together will empty your purse. and sap the marrow of your physical strength. It is not so much what a man's income may be, as it is what he spends, that graduates his means. Strive then to adopt the true principle of economy, and you have the secret of independence. Ccaious FACTS.—Bees aro geometricians. The cells are so constructed as, with the least quantity of material, to have the largest sized spaces and the least possible interstice. The Mole is a meteorologist. The 'bird called the Nine-killer is an arith metician ; also the Crow, the wild Turkey, and some other birds. The torpedo, the ray and the electric eel, ore electricians. The Nautilus is a navigator. Tle raises and lowers his sails, casts and weighs anchor, and performs other nautical feats. Whole tribes of birds are musicians. The Beaver is an architect, builder and wood cutter. lie cuts down trees, and erects houses and darns. The Marmot is a civil engineer. He does notonly build houses but constructs aqueducts and drains them dry. The Ant maintains a regular standing army. Wasps are paper manufacturers. Caterpillers are silk spinners. The Squirrel is a ferryman. With a chip or piece of bark for a boat, and his tail for a sail, he crosses streams. Dogs, wolves, jackals, and many others, are hunters. The black bear and heron are fishermen. The ants are day laborers. The monkey is a rope dancer. A BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT.—Beautiful is old age, beautiful as the slow drooping of mel low autumn of a rich, glorious summer : In the old man nature has fulfilled her designs; she loads him with the fruit of a well-spent life ; and surrounded by his children, she bears him softly away to the grave, to which he is followed by blessings. God forbid that we should not call it beautiful. There is an other life, hard, rough and thorny, trodden with bleeding feet and aching brow; a bat tle which no peace follows this side of the grave; which the grave gapes to finish be fore the victory is won ; and strange that it should be—this is the highest life of man.— Gaze along um great name of history ; there is none whose life has been other than this. $1 BO 1 00 1 50 1 50 2 25 2 00 3 00 WILLIAM LEWIS, VOL. XV, Matrimony. Now, girls, stop looking at the young gen tlemen ; do something sensible, and stop building air-castles and talking of lovers and honey-moons. It makes me sick ; it is per fectly antimonial. Love is a farce—matri mony is a humbug. Husbands are domestic Napoleons, Ferohs, Mexanders, sighing for other hearts to conquer after they are sure of yours. The honey-moon is as short-lived as a Luci fer match. After that you may wear your wedding dress at breakfast and your night cap to meeting, and your husband wouldn't know it. You may pick up your own pocket handkerchief, help yourself to a chair, and split your gown across the back in reaching over the table for a piece of butter, while he is laying in his breakfast as if it was the last meal he should eat in this world. When he gets through, he will aid your digestion, while you are sipping your first cup of coffee, by inquiring what you'll have for dinner; if the cold lamb was ate yesterday ; if the char coal is all out, and how much you gave for the last green tea you bought. Then he gets up from the table, lights his cigar with the last evening's paper that you have not had a chance to read ; gives two or three whiffs of smoke which are sure to give you a head-ache fur the afternoon, and just as his coat-tail is vanishing through the door, apologizes for not doing that errand for you yesterday— thinks it doubtful if he can to-day, so pressed with business. Bear of him at 11 o'clock taking an ice-cream with some ladies at the confectioners, while you are at home new lining his coat sleeves. Children by the ears all day; can't get out to take the air ; feel as crazy as a fly in a drum. Husband conies home at night, nods a how d've do, Fan ? boxes Charlie's ears, stands lit tle Fanny in - the corner, sits down in the easi est chair in the warmest nook ; put his feet up over the grate, shutting out all the fire, while the baby's little pug nose grows blue with cold ; reads the newspaper all to him self, solaces his inner man with a cup of tea, and, just as you are laboring under the hal lucination that he will ask you to take a mouthful of fresh air with him, he puts on his dressing-gown and slippers and begins to reckon upon the family expenses ; after which he lies down on the sofa, and you keep time with your needle while lie sleeps till 9 o'clock. Next morning, ask him to leave you a little money ; he looks at you as if to be sure that you are in your right mind ; draws a sigh long enough and strong enough to inflate a pair of bellows, and asks you what you want with it, and if a half a dollar won't do. Gra cious king ! as if those little shoes and stock ings, and shirts could be had for half a dollar. 0, girls set your affections on cats, poodles, parrots, or lap dogs, but let matrimony alone ; its the hardest way on earth to get a living; yiai never know when your work is done.— Think of carrying eight or nine children through measles, chicken-pox, rash, mumps, scarlet fever—some of them twice over. It makes my head ache to think of it. 0, you may scrimp and save, and turn and twist, and dig and delve, and economize and die, and your husband will marry again, and take what you have saved to dress his second wife with. and she'll take your portrait for a fire board ! But what's the use of talking—l'll warrant every one of you'll try it qlie first chance you get, for some how there is a sort of bewitchment about it. I wish one half the world were not fools and the other half idiots ! " Sold." Neighbor Jauber weighs about two hun dred, and has a decided objection to being cheated. When be buys a pound of tea he is careful to get good weight. One day he went to the wharf to get a ton of coal and he insisted, after assuring himself the scales were well-adjusted, upon seeing it weighed, for coal dealers sometimes make mistakes.— The team was driven upon the platform scales. Jauher stood to watch the figures. "'Twenty-two hundred weight of coal," said the dealer, with a wink to the bystan ders. "Rather short," haggled the buyer.— "Throw in a little and I will take the load." The obliging dealer complied, and the scale was again examined. "All right—l am satisfied with that. You coal dealers don't always give good weight," grinned Jauber. " Drive on, John ; stop in the street," ad ded the seller, and he took Jauber into the counting room, where the bill was paid. " Are you perfectly satisfied ?" "Perfectly; I like to look after these things myself." " Well, sir, I would say you had cheated yourself out of two hundred pounds of coal by looking after these things yourself." " What do you mean ?" The dealer ordered his teamster to back on the scales again ; and to the astonishment of Jauber, the words were verified. "I don't understand it," added the buyer. " I do ; you stood on the scale yourself while you were watching me, and I have sold you for so much coal. But you are sat isfied ; don't be so sharp next time," laughed the dealer. Jauber was confounded, but he had not the assurance to demand a revision of the transaction.

It is a law, too, which demands the most faithful observance, or its violation will shatter all the dreams and high anticipations of youth. In examining the history of our great men, we find that severe labor was necessary to their success. It is an element which char acterizes the Anglo-Saxon race, and to which that hardy people, amid obstacles of untold magnitude, owe entirely their superiority.— The volatile Spaniard, attracted by the love of gold, flung the Castillian banner to the breeze on the palaces of the Montezumas.— His career was one of triumph, and enriched with the most magnificent treasures ; yet to day Mexico, though one of the most fertile spots upon the globe, is a sad picture of deg radation and anarchy. Greece—" the land of the cypress and the myrtle"—the home of the poets, the philosophers, the statesmen, and the heroes, has sadly degenerated. Italy is the victim of superstition, ignorance, and imbecility. It can be easily deduced what is the cause of the success of the Anglo-Saxon and the decay of the other nations. While one en countered the fierce inclemencies of the North and defended themselves from the vindictive warfare of the Savage, the other luxuriated on the spontaneous productions of the earth. As no labor was required, effeminacy was the result, and the present condition bears undeniable evidence to the effect consequent upon a violation of nature's law. National prosperity,intelligence and growth are the offspring of labor. Inactivity is the cause of. obscurity and decay. Poverty is allied to genius, and is the natural stimulus to action. The men_ who have left behind them imperishable names have generally risen from poor and humble parentage. He iner, the poet, sang his verses about the streets for his daily bread. Plautus turned a mill. Linmus, founder of a science, was apprenticed to a shoe-maker. Ben Johnson worked some time as a bricklayer. The father of llaydn, the great musical composer, was a wheelwright. John Hunter, one of the greatest anatomists that ever lived, made chairs and tables in his youth. Claude Lor raine, whose paintings are to be found in the most valuable libraries of Europe, was for merly a pastry cook. Our own great philos opher, Ben Franklin, the printer boy, was the son of a chandler. Henry Clay, the " mill-boy of the Slashes," arose to the high est pinnacle of fame as an orator and states man. John Jacob Astor and Stephen Gi rard, two of the greatest capitalists that were ever known, commenced with nothing. Milliard Fillmore worked as a wool-carder Horace Greeley wall raised in a log hut in Vermont. Daniel Webster slept in a cradle made out of a pine log with an axe and au gur, and Lewis Cass was rocked in a second hand sugar trough.

Hope on, boys, and hope always.—Easton Times. NEWSPAPER Po IVE 11.-E very family ought to take and pay for a good paper, which treats upon subjects suited to our labors, duties and responsibilities in life. Such a periodical will have a mighty power to awaken inquiry, stimulate thought, and impart useful knowl edge. The topics discussed are talked about in the family, among circles of friends, and as associate meets associate. If the articles of a paper are made up as they should be, of what the writers them selves have seen, felt, investigated, or expe rienced, they impart a silent magical influ ence to the reader. When the man pressed with great trials and difficulties is almost ready to give up in despair, as he reads the experience of one who says, " There is no blessing equal to a stout heart; Be not dis mayed or unmanned when you should be bold, daring, unflinching and resolute." Hope springs up anew in the soul. If a man is in doubt in regard to his duty or how to perform in the best manner his work, he gains light and courage as he reads the experience of one similarly situated.— How much intelligence, pleasure, and lasting good is communicated to the individual, to the household and to society, by the weekly visits of a well conducted journal It has a potency to enlighten, mould, and direct al most inconceivable. It is an indispensable help. Better than the merchandise of silver azd gold. Send us then your silver and gold, or your bank bills, and we will make you more than an equal return of good things.— The poet does not say too much : "Mightiest of the mighty means On which the arm of progress leans, Man's noblest mission to advance, His woes assuage, his weal enhance, His rights enforce, his wrongs redress,— MIGHTIEST OF MIGHTY IS THE PRESS." YOUNG MEN AND TREE FROGS,—The follow ing quaint comparison is forcible and true.— It would be well if our young men would note the moral of the terse passage we quote below: " The tree frog acquires the color of what ever it adheres to for a short time. If it be found on oak it is a brown color ; on the sic amore or cedar he is of a whitish brown col or ; but when found on the growing corn he is sure to be green. Just so it is with young men. Their companions tell us what their characters are ; if they associate with the vulgar, the licentious, and the profane, then their hearts are already stained with their guilt and shame, and they will themselves beet - ,me alike vicious. The study of had books, rr the love of wicked companions is the broad est and most certain road to ruin that a young man can travel, and a few and well directed lesson% in either will lead him on, step by step, to the gate of destruction. Our moral and physical laws show how important it is to have proper associations of every kind, es pecially ih youth. How dangerous it is to gaze on a picture or scene that pollutes the imagination or blunts the moralperceptions!" „~ f ~`~ ~;;. HUNTINGDON, PA., FEBRUARY 1, 1860.

The Union—The Democracy If there is yet in existence a truly Nation al Democracy, we believe that upon its action will depend, in a very great measure, the preservation of the Union. By a truly Na tional Democracy we mean a party in the North and South, acting in concert, based upon clear constitutionel principles and actu ated by pure, patriotic motives, having in view the welfare of the whole people, and aiming at the preservation of the whole Union. A party above selfish views, and acting for the security, and extension, if possible, of human liberty ; fur the prosperity, the honor, and the glory of the whole country. Such a party we had once. It is a ques tion whether we have it now. One who only reads the debates in Con gress, or pores over the proceedings of radi cal sectional conventions will hardly be con vinced that national feeling exists at all— that there is any organized political party that can claim nationality, or that there is, in the bosoms of those who originate and di rect political movements, even a diluted pat riotism. The chief aim of political leaders seems to be to bring about a state of affairs which will render a speedy dissolution of the Union in evitable ; for what ultimate purpose passes our comprehension. Such a condition of things, it is painful to contemplate; and yet we cannot, if we would, shut our eyes to every-day facts, or forbear to reflect upon them. It is evident to us that there exists a delib erate design on the part of the leading politi cians, North and South, belonging to the Na tional Administration wing of the Democrat ic party, to break down the party by extreme, unconstitutional, and unwise - measures, un acceptible to the people, and then seize the occasion of defeat, as a fresh pretext for car rying out their treasonable plans for a disso lution of the Union, The Southern portion of the party have told us time and again that the election of a Republican President would be considered sufficient cause for secession ; and it is not in truth to deny that they are now shaping their measures, in concert with the Northern portion, to bring about that very result. Who can doubt, for a single moment, that, if the views of the extreme South, and of Mr. Buchanan's Northern adherents are adop ted by the Charleston Convention, the defeat of the Democratic nominee will be certain ? Aro any so blind as to believe that the North will elect a Presidential candidate placed on a Congressional Slave Code platform ? Are any so ignorant of the public feeling in the non-slaveholding States as to imagine such a result possible? And yet the extreme men of the South de clare they will be satisfied with nothing less ; that they will support no Presidential candi date on any other platform ; and they are fast driving the whole Southern Democracy into that position ; from which, when once com mitted to it, they can not recede. It is the doctrine of the entire Southern representa tion in Congress—disguise it as they may, it is the doctrine of President Buchanan and his Northern adherents—and recently the Democratic State Convention of Alabama in structed the delegates to Charleston to insist upon its incorporation into the creed of the party, and, in ease they could not succeed, to withdraw from the Convention. This is the most striking fact which has come to light in proof of a conspiracy among leading Democratic politicians to dismember the Republic. For it is conceded by these very men that the preservation of the Union depends upon the success of the Democratic party ; and yet they are pursuing a course which they well know must defeat it—and that course is !wither required by the inter ests of the South, demanded by its honor, nor sanctioned by any rational construction of the Constitution. It is an ultra shivery measure repugnant to the North, which the freemen of the North will defeat; and if persisted in will result in the election of a Republican Presi dent, which the Southern extremists and their Northern allies declare would be equiv alent to a dissolution of the Union. When men declare that the defeat of the Democratic party in 1800 will be a virtual dissolution ; and when, with this declaration on their lips, we see them trying, in various ways, to defeat that party what other con clusion can we come to than that their object is dissolution, and that they are leagued to gether for the accomplishment of that pur pose ? James Buchanan joined this conspiracy when he deserted the Cincinnati Platform and pledged himself to Senators Brown, Da vis, Slidell, and others, " to take a step fur ther in advance" in favor of pro-slavery pre tensions—the only important pledge which, we believe, he ever redeemed; and every Democrat, North or South, who supports his apostasy, and sanctions the step he took, is as much a conspirator against the integrity of the Union as he is, or as Iverson is, or as any other man is who preaches doctrines which can have no other result than defeat and dissolution. What benefits the great leaders of this in famous conspiracy expect to derive from dis solution it is difficult to imagine. They may possibly look to the establishment of an Imperial government and the creation of a permanent Aristocracy, which would most probably follow, particularly in the South.— We can conceive of nothing else ; for cer tainly dissolution would not extinguish aboli tionism, which is made the pretext for the movement ; nor would it remove the Slave States any further from the region of Aboli tionism, or protect them against its inroads. There was a time when we could point to the Abolitionists as the only disturbers of the peace and harmony of the Union. And when Senator Seward's "irrepressible conflict" doctrine was generally adopted by the Repub licans, there was a time when we could point to them, in conjunction with their Abolition allies, as the party laboring for mischievous purposes; kindling a sectional fire, and threat ening the Union with general conflagration. Editor and Proprietor. But we can say no longer that they stand alone in that unenviable, unpatriotic, treason able position. There is another party now laboring to accomplish the same unholy pur pose ; alleging different motives. to be sure, but driving to the same infamous end; and that party, we regret to say, pretends to march under the Democratic flag. When Iverson, and Keitt, and Mcßae and others of the same school, thunder treason and disunion in the National Capitol, and Northern Democracy, instead of rebuking them as they deserve, instead of denouncing them as traitors, marches in column with them and keeps step to their rebellious music, what are we to think of it? How can we keep our peace when we see the honored name of Democracy disgraced by being used as a cloak to cover treason and promote designs against the permanency of our Union ? May Providence so order that these de signs come to nought ; for their accomplish ment would not only be ruin to us, North and South, but would stop the whole civilized world in its career to freedom ; or worse, per haps throw it back to the despotism of the middle ages. Our hope is, should the Charleston Conven tion yield to the clamors of those who are leagued together to destroy the Union, that a National Democratic party will be found, strong enough in wisdom, in patriotism, and in numbers, to save the Union and restore harmony by the election of the right man on a right platform. If this hope should not be realized, we shall fold our arms, and quietly, if not re signedly, await whatever destiny is reserved fur us.—Harrisburg State Sentinel. Douglas and the Presidency [From the Eastern (Maine) Times.] Our readers will not doubt our word when we ttssure them that we daily keep watch of the indications of the times, and the set of the diverse political currents, with a view to judge of the probable results of the meeting of the Charleston Convention If one could place the slightest reliance upon republican prints in such matters, he might suppose Douglas had ceased to be remembered in po litical circles, and that his name was among the by-Bones, like the issues which have ren dered it so prominent in the hearts of the American people. But we say only what we mean, and no more than we mean, in declar ing that in this thing, not a particle of reli ance can be placed upon the press in ques tion. There is no truth in it. -It is steeped in misrepresentation of Douglas, in relation to public sentiment, from the crown to the sole—from the skin to the heart's core. It labors assiduously and industriously to de ceive and to mislead the public mind in this regard. The truth is, Douglas is the man of all the democrats in the land, whom the opposition most fear. They know his popularity, his bold upon the masses, that the people not only confide in but love him, and if nomina ted they know his election would be beyond question. They know that their own ranks would be decimated; that the young men of their own party would go for him with an enthusiasm unknown since the days of Jack son. Honesty out of the question the republi cans act shrewdly in ignoring the well known popularity of Douglas. It is the only way to hold their own men. We judge that our city is a type of other cities in this regard, and we know—we don't guess at it—that scores of young and middle aged men, not politicians, but the regular " bone and mus cle," who have never voted the democratic ticket, are looking anxiously for the nomina tion of Douglas, that they may enlist under the democratic banner. We know because they tell us so. They tell us not only that, if Douglas is nominated, they will vote for him, but that they know lots of the same sort in the ranks of their acquaintance. These young men are not the thoughtless rabble, the non-reading, non-intelligent class tampered within grog-shops, and bought and sold like cattle in the shambles on election day, but they are the young men who read, who think of what they read, who under stand what they are about, and who love and confide in Douglas because he has been proved as few politicians have been proved, and who has proved himself every inch a man—" the noblest Roman of them all." They say if Douglas is not nominated they shall either not vote at all or vote the opposition ticket. We do not commend Choir judgment and de cision in this regard, but such is their deter mination nevertheless. They are not politi cians. They pay no regard to the stale cry of abolition or to the equally stale threats of disunion. They believe in the whole country, and that " manifest destiny" has a mission for the country to perform, and they look to Douglas as the exponent and representative of the best ideas of democracy ;—of all there is of democracy except its shell—except its empty name. Politicians are proverbially false, and the masses of the people, especially of the young men, have no confidence in them. They have no love for republicanism, but they dislike the phase of democracy which the present administration has presented.— They argue that Republicanism can be no worse—perhaps it will be better—and there fore they will risk to give it their preference. But give them democracy as it was, and as Douglas represents it—the sovereignty of the people—the rights of the people practically respected—the least of central government consistent with the good of all—and they well flee to it as to the ark of political safety, and guard it with their ballots on the day of election. We believe, as much as we believe in any not positively certain future event, that, with Stephen A. Douglas in nomination for Presi dent, Maine would give him her vote by a popular majority of twenty thousand. New Hampshire, Connecticut, and probably Rhode Island, would follow in the same channel.— No human power could defeat him. The people of Maine are not disunionists. They love the Union, and they are not in favor of those irritating, meddlesome and mischievous doctrines which trouble and alarm the South, no more than they are in favor of those odi ous, proscriptive and aggressive movements which have been so conspicuous under the present administration. Heaven knows the people of Maine are sick at heart of both extremes. So it is all over the North. It is not abolitionism with which the people are in love. They do not adhere to the Republi-. can party because they love its doctrines, or are attracted tovearcls it; but because they have found the Democracy of the State of fensive; because they have been repelled by its unnatural defects, and compelled to, take refuge in the unattractive retracts of the opposition. Restore our Democracy to its wonted puri-, ty ; bold up its banners with " popular rights". inscribed upon them ; let the unprincipled hordes now laboring to control its destinies for the most shameless selfish purposes fall back into the ranks, and give us a nomina tion in which the people can confide—a man not identified with " the decline and fall" of the party—a man who has proved himself superior to corruption and glittering bribes; and we will show our Southern friends, as no' Union mass meeting can do—as no eloquence of mere' logic can do—that Maine is fur the Union, for-Peace, for the equal Rights of all. We will do it by the eloquence of popular enthusiasm and the logic of votes. And what are Douglas', chances for the nomination ? We have not room to answer this question as we would, by facts and the indications of the times. But we say his prospects are brightening daily. He will go, into the Charleston Convention with a united' North West, with nearly a unanimous North. Louisiana, Tennessee, Maryland, Delaware, Missouri, Arkansas and Alabama are almost sure for him now, while public sentiment there is daily moulding itself in his favor.— Not a word has been said against Douglas or, his doctrines in the present Congress except by Republicans and Americans. Not a Dein-. ocrat has aspersed his name or sneered at his position. A few months will reveal most refreshing changes in popular sentiment.— Douglas will be nominated; his election will follow, as a matter of course. NO, 32. Shall the Democratic Party be Destroy-. It behooves every man who has any affec tion and attachment for the great Democratic organization of the country, to ask himself this question : shall our glorious old party, under whose banners we have achieved so many victories, and whose successes have so greatly conduced to the happiness and wel fare of the country, be destroyed and its principles rooted out ? We say every Demo-, crat should ask himself this question, foe from present indications there is some dan ger of such being the case. Our leaders seem: determined to destroy the party if the thing can be accomplished ; which would have been done ere this, had it not possessed great vi tality and virtue. From time to time they apply new tests, which are at variance with . the fundamental principles' of Democracy ; and because some of the rank and file cannot appreciate their orthodoxy, they are denoun ced and read out of the party. This game may be applied once too often, for there is such a thing as forbearance ceasing to be a . virtue ; and unless the leaders, those who are properly our servants, and whose fortunes we mould, shall return to the time-honored land marks of the party, the rank and file may possibly read them out and leave them high and dry like a stranded ship. The slavery question is again put forward to do us harm. This matter was settled, as we believed in 1856, by taking the question out of Congress, and turning it over to the, people of the territories to dispose of as should , best suit them. This was the understlinding then, on all sides, north, south, east and west, and no one in the party had a thought to the contrary. Mr. Buchanan, in his letter of ac ceptance, laid down this doctrine, most ear phatically, so did Mr. Cobb in his speeches and in fact all our politicians steed upon the same platform. But now, in 1860, this doc trine is repudiated, and in its stead, we are asked to advocate the right of Congress to force negro slavery upon the people of the. territories whether they want it or Many of our party leaders of the South, and some craven tools in the North, openly advo cate this doctrine, and insist that it shall be incorporated into our platform'. Will the Democratic party of the North submit to this? Will they allow a few sectional fanatics to destroy the party by loading it down with' principles so odious that no man in the free States can stand up under them ? What saY the Democrats ? Are you willing to commit the party to the doctrine that negro slavery shall lie forced upOn the territories contrary to the wish of the people ? You must con sider this matter well, for it will be the next issue, and you should be prepared to fight against it, and save the party from such dis grace, and . the ruin that the incorporation of such principle would inevitably bringupon' it. The true doctrine of the party is, that Congress has no right to legislate upon the subject of slavery, neither to abolish nor pro; hibit it; and all who love DernoCracy and' wish for the success of the party, must op pose any change in the platform. This prin ciple gave us victory in 1856, and will pro duce the same result in 1860. We would like to hear from some of our old Democrats; to know how they stand upon this most im portant question, and whether they are wil ling to incorporate such abominable doctrine into the creed of the party.—Doylestown Dem. DOUGLAS IN TENNESSEE.—The Washington correspondent of the Cincinuati c ,Enquirer. says: "The nomination of Hon. Andrew John son for the Presidency by the Democratic, State Convention of Tennessee, has carried consternation into the Administration camp, since they have ascertained it was produced by the united action of the friends of Judge Douglas with those of Mr. Johnson. The further fact that the delegates, chosen by the Convention, are the mutual friends of John, son and Douglas, clearly indicates who their second choice shall be, and for whom their votes will be cast when the great struggle comes." ]tea' Among the resolutions adopted by the late Democratic State Convention of Tennes see was the following : "4. Resolved, That the Federal Govern, ment has no power to interfere with slavery in the States, nor to introduce or exclude it from the Territories, and no duty to perform in relation thereto, but to protect the rights of the owner from• wrong and to restore fugitives from labor; eseth duties it cannot withhold without a violation of the Constitution." The assessors in Kentucky and tha Secretary of the Board of Agriculture, report a corn crop of 380,000,000 bushels. Admit ting this estimate to be correct, and the value of the crop would be abiut $130,000,000. ZEtr• Hon.
