But neither Smith nor his wife pays any attention 5 ho goes oil clean ing his gun. she knitting her-stocking. Tho air, however, darkens; a thick smoke rises ut oh every side; a formidable explosion . was heard; one would have taid it was a din- I charge of several cannon at oico. The bo 1.-r had burst; tho vessel was sunk; every thing was destroyed. Smith and his wife did not look up; ho went on cleaning up hi; gun, situ knitting hot stock* ing, /or explosions of steamers are so common; But this was ono which was to,lnterest them more nearly, for scarcely had tho explosion end ed before ibq mol of tho cabin split In two, and something heavy descended through the aper ture. This something w.ls a man, who dropped | between tho pair, without however, disturbing I ciilirf-—b? itill his gun, she still knit ting her stocking. • , But tho traveller, so ralely Introduced, seem ed rather dstounded at his descent. few minutes, however ho resumed his coolness and begin to look about him, fixing his atten tion at last upon tho hole through which he bad just arrived. “Ah!.my man,” said ho, at length, addressing Smith, “wlmt's tho dum ago ?” ; • On this Smith, who had not given up his Work,' pnlJisirlujiiB~-rift* r andy]<^klDg-'jip,.]lo. > *«tlnm/e his loss, answered, after aomo litllu reflection, “ Ten dollars.” ' • ‘‘You bo hanged !**. exclaimed tho traveller. “ Last week, in the explosion I halfpence! to be In with another steamer, I full through three Bights In a new house, and they only charged mo five dollars.

Little could the men of seventy-six—little could the mcn/svho consecrated in (he hall, under whoso shadow we arc assembled, by w'ords and deeds, the principles of self-govern ment and of the rights of conscience—little couhi they’bare thoughtjiml before all the gen eration ’that witnessed and approved and par ticipattdjn their world renowned labors should have passed awayi Lave arisen to repudiate their work, and to cast reproach upon their,memory.. But so it Is—the Catho lic mustfiot-worship Ins Creator, agreeably to his own faith, nor must an American living in a Territory beßufllrcd with his fello'VcUizciis there to .administer the government for (He common Corn-lit and by (he common action.— And you, my fellow democrats, who, arc now around me, and who have conic to this convo cation of freemen. knowing your rights, and al ways determined to maintain them, you par ticipate in the government of this good old Keystone State—keystone now and ever may it he—and no man (lore say . you nnv.

I believe—that this power to regulate your domestic relations would be long to Congress,' not (o you ; but that u for eign legislature—foreign to the Terriloi its be cause they have no representation in it— lms the right to dictate on the subject of these re lations, and that it is its duly to control one of them, at least—that of master otid servant —and that the right of self-government docs not belong to' tho people. Do you think, if you wero there, you would approve such a monstrous usurpation ? He who would do so is unlit to enjoy Jho privileges of a freeman, as ho is incapable of nppixcialing their value*. It is a intension belter suited to (ho hanks of the Danube or tho Neva than .those of the Del aware or the Kansas. Do you not think that here or in a Territory you arc capable of judg ing and acting for yourselves without the aid or interference of meddling politicians, either in Massachusetts or wherever else abo]ltionism has led captive the head and hearts of men ; or political ambition directs it against (he consti tution ? And the great doctrine of tho revolu tion--the great doctrine of human nature—that man has a right to govern himself, is tho Kan sas act, the whole Kansas act. and nothing but the Kansas act, so far ns respects the principle involved in it; and in its preparation, and in the powerful and enlightened support ho lent to it. and to which its final success is greatly indebted, my frjend, whp Kits behind me, Mr. Douglas, kept steadily in view Una controlling element of our institutions, and made it the very corner-stone of the Kansas government; and he would bo a rash man. not merely a bold one, who, upon this holy ground of freedom, made holy by its associations, should deny the principle or condemn its practical; application. If every portion of our country would limit its Interference to ils own concerns, mid leave each political community, whether State or territorial, to govern itself, subject only to the constitution, wo should bo the happiest and most united, as wo tiro the freest, nation the world has ever seen. But this eternal propen sity to pass beyond the circle of ourown rights and duties, and to umlcri&ke to direct the con duct of othcis, has already worked incalculable mischief to our Union, and. if not checked,'will work its min. And how is it to bo checked, but by (lie action, prompt and fearless and en ergetic. of tho democratic party ? alone stands erect between tho constitution and its perils.' Its rival, mid sometimes, in mo ments of extreme danger to tho country, its co lalmrcr, the whig party, tho old-fashioned whig party, Is prostrated, broken up, severed Into fragments, each disjointed portion seeking new combinations. Our parly has a mighty trust cimnnittcd toil, tho trust of defending and maintaining tho heritage of freedom which wo received from onr fathers, and which onr children have a right to demand at onr hands unimpaired, ns their birthright. And magnif icnH indeed will bo its destiny, if it is not mar red by the wickedness nnd follies of our day.— This Union Ims brought us liberty, prosperity', power, glory, whatever political benefit tho heart of man can conceive or desire, and it is vet in (ho infancy of its existence.
