Far away from thq great - cities, liftlf hidden In
tlio foliage, was Iho modest log lint of a man,
half trapper, half fisherman, and moro than half
savage. Of course his home is Smith. lie was
married, and ho and-his wife in tills one little
chamber led tlio happiest of, existence,/or on an
occasion she would not object to go twenty miles
to - hear the Baptist minister preach..
One evening about sundown they wore both
together in their littlecnbin~Bhe knittingslocU-(
Ings for the next.wmfer's snow, ho elenmn'g the'
barrel ot his fowling piece, all pails of'which
wore l.'ing dismounted'about him—both busy
Mnd neither uttered a syllable.
By degrees a dull but regular sound breaks
upon the silence of tho wilderness. Theahmm
cr is ascending the river, making Iho best of its
way against the stream. 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. No, no; I know what’a tho

A Touching Incident.— Tlio saddest story (lint
wo ever read was that of allttlo child hi Switz
erland, a pet boy, Juntas yours is, reader,whom
its mother, ono bright morning, rigged out in a
beautiful jacket, all shining with silk and but*
jtous* and gay as a mother’s love could make It,
and then permitted him to go out to play. «dio
had scarcely stepped from (ho . door of thu
»»Swl«s Cottage,’’when an • enormous eagle
•scooped him from tho earth, and boro him to
his nest high up among tho and yet
within sight of tho house of which ho had been
Ihdjoy. There ho wasklllcdanddevoured, tho
eyrlo being at a point utterly inaccessible to
hian; so that no relief could*bo afforded. In
tearing tho child (o pieces, tho engio so placed
tho gay Jacket In tho nest that It boconio ti fix
and whenever tho wind blew It would
flutter,'and tho sun would shine upon Its lovely
trimmings and ornaments. For years It was
visible I rom the lowlands, long after tho eagles
had abandoned tho nest. What a sight it must
have boon to tho parents of tho victim.

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

to repudiate their work, and to cast reproach

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

rieWTßTffc'tfc'prnds,'
and wife* of parent and child, and of master
and .'servant—these 'family conditions are con
trolled by yourselves, and the power is of the
very essence of freedom. And think you. if
you should remove to Kansas, that they would
bo less,dear to you, or you less .competent, to
mnncee ificnrT • 'Ana* yet, If -you • were I here, -
it is claimed ’by the opponents of the democra

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. Hold on to

which resulted in the election of the immortal

pregnant with good or evil-to our institutions,
hate been presented, as in ijw one which is
now before us. Great questions of foreign pol
icy, great questions of domestic policy—ques
tions frnbght'wilh the mtftt intense import are
now before ns.
In. our foreign policy there is a question
which involves in its settlement the ncaro* the
perpetuity of this •glorious .republic. It is
simply a question principle ofsclf
governnicnt, upon which' all 'our institutions
rest,.shall be maintained in the Statesand Ter

Shall it hereafter be said that the democratic

proclaim ils creed by a Unanimous vote?—a,
creed to be construed allied in Pennsylvania
and Virginia, in New York-and Georgia, in
Illinois and Louisiana, iu tho North and the
South, in the Fust and tho West. Wherever
tho constitution reigns, there_ the democratic
creed is ono am! the same. It is a creed that
can command tho faith and 1 support of every
democrat—aye, and of every old-line whig who
is true to tho principles of Clay and Webster.
It is to bo remarked, and never to bo forgot
ten, that in 1860 the leaders—tho champions
of tfio “true grit” political party—your Clays
and your Wohstcra, your Casses - and your
Other patriots of the democratic party—united
in agreeing upon a common creed in respect to
thU vexed question-of slavery, which should
bo odminou alike ta whig# and democrats.

only difficulties that have occurred have arisen
from the fact that tho opponents of tho meas
ure were determined not to give the bill a fair
chance.
If you will examine Inlo these facts you will
find that the allegations have not ono particle
of ground on which to stand,. Our principles
arc tho principles of the constitution ; they arc
the principles of law and order, of peace and

lawless violence and rebellion against tho con

great questions now to bo decided is, whether
(he law shall prevail, or whether violence shall
triumph ; and the decision of that question is
involved iu (lie election which is now to take
place.
;■ -jy regard to this present election, our cue
■ Jnics arc in the habit of asking tho question:
I How can James Duchanan stand upon tho plat
form which lias been made for us at Cincin
nati ? I ask. and I do it with emphasis,how can
James Duchanan. with his antecedents, stand
on any other platform than Uw one made at
Cincinnati? Our opponents have been in the
habit of saying that they liavc made a Douglas
platform, and then put Buchanan on it. I ask
yon to examine this matter for a moment, and
you will find that James Buchanan and myself
occupy identically the same position, and have
done sb for years, on this slavery question in all
its phases.
In 1810, when Mr. Wilmot. of Pcnnsylva
nia. proposed the Wilmot proviso, I, then in
the House of Representatives, proposed as a
substitute to extend the Missouri lino to the
Pacific ocean. You all remember that in Oc
tober, 1817, James Buchanan wrote his cele
brated “Harvest Home letter** lit Berks coun
ty, and in that proposed to extend that lino to
the Pacific ocean, ns tho dividing lino between
slavery and freedom. Ho did not maintain
then that the Missouri Compromise was foun
ded on sound or wise principles'; but finding it
on the statute book, rather than hazzard the
peace and harmony of the country, ho was wil
ling to close the controversy forever by exten
ding it to tho Pacific, rather than to raise sec
tional strife even to carry out a sound princi
ple. Acting on that same theory, in August.
1818,1 proposed, in the Senate of tho United
Stales, a law to extend the Missouri line to the
Pacific ocean, iu the same senso and with tho
same understanding, with which it was origi
nally adopted. That proposition passed tjie
.Senate, and was voted down in tho House of
Representatives by northern men with frcc-soil
and abolition proclivities. Had tho policy of
Buchanan, as proposed la his “Harvest Homo
letter," then prevailed—the same policy which
I advocatcd’in tho law o! 1818—there would
tmvo been on end of this sectional conrotvcrsy
forcycr. Who is responsible for tho defeat of tho
proposition to cxioml that lino to tho Paclllo ?
Certainly not James Buchanan—certainly not
myself—Certainly pot tho democratic parly.
The mcii who were responsible, for that' were
tho abolitionists, the free-BoUers, the present
antUNebraska men of tbo Country.'
• :Tlioy then told us that the Missouri law was
anuifamoua measure ;.satd that if slavery was
right op tho south side of the lino, it was right
on tho north side. They said' }f it was' right
to leave tho people to do as they please on tho
south side of 8(5 30. it was right to grant them
tho same privilege-north of 3u 30* They said
they would agree to any measure but that in
famous measure—the Missouri Compromise.

the letter of Janies Buchanan to the meeting
