THK " ONF IDEA PARTY.
.All the big and iiitle speakers of the Op
position party arc continually taunting the
Republican party, by calling it a partv with
but one idea or one object in view—refer
ring to the opposition to the extension of
slavery. S> n -tor Sew ir 1 thus dispels the
horrors, which our opponents would make
their followers believe, surround the idea.
31 r. Seward sai i :
I am not quite convinced that it is sound
philosophy in anything, at least in politics,
to banish the principleofgiving paramount
importance at any one time to one idea.
If a man wishes to secure a good crop of
wheat to pay off the debt he owes upon his
land, he is seized with one idea in the
spring; he plows, plants and sows; he gath
ers and reaps, with a single ieading idea
of getting forty bushels to the acre, if lie
can. If a merchant wishes to be success
iul. he surrenders himself to the one idea
of buying as cheap and selling as dear as
he honestly can. 1 would not give much
for a lawyer who is put in charge of my
case, that would suffer himself, when before
the jury, to be distracted with a great many
pleasing ideas. I want one devoted to my
causo. lu the Church we have a great
many clergymen who have a horror of this
one idea aud the negro question, but I
thiuk it was St. Peter who had it made
known to him in a vision on the house top,
that he must not have scattered ideas; but
there was to be ono idea only, that is of be
ing satisfied with everything else provided
lie could nuh win rouls to his Mister. -
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1860,
And i J aui was very much after this spirit;
he said he would bo :dl things to all men,
provided he could save some souls.
There was in the Revolution one man
seized with a terrible i-iiiatiiricin. pr-ipe'c-I
by one idea. lie scattered terror all
through this C-.uitment; and when he pas
sed from Boston to the first Congress in
Philadelphia, deputations horn New York
and i iidadclphia went out to meet this one
man of one luce, aini thai . N T a .olial In
dej.cnden *e. And sidi John Adams pro
vod, after ail a public benefactor. There
was. during the Revolution, not her iiinti
ol one i'tea that appeared to burn ;:i him
so ardently that he was regarded as tut
most dangerous man on the Continent; and
a tripple reward was offered for his head,.
He actually went so fir as to take all the
men of one idea in the country, and suffer
himself to take comma:: io! iliem. That
man was Gtorok \Y.vsili.M,ToN. iff
idea was jn.-tite—poluie-tl justice. There
was another monomaniac of the same kind
down in Virginia; he, at the close of It.-
Revolution, had one idea—ami it even in
eluded negroes ; and that w; - the idea of
equality. It, was Thomas Jkekehs -n
Now, though the State which ■ ••h-! him
might be giad if it eoulti erase from his
monument at Montieello its sub!one inscri ji
tion, yc: the world ean never f.sc th;.: pi ~ml
ami beautiful epitaph, wntten by himself :
'Here lies Tiia.vas Jkiteiis -n, the au
thor of the Declaration o! Independence.'
About the year 180.0 or '0 the Fundi
Secretary for foreign affairs gave a dinner
to the American representative at Court,
and to American citizens resident there,
and there was a large and various party.
Y\ hen I.e Witic flowed frcdy, ai-f mver
sation ought to have been general, there
was oi.e young man who was possessed with
one idea, and he could not rest, but kept
continually putting this idea hef.re the
Minister and (he rest of (he guests, s y
ing: 'it you only make me a purse, or
show me a bank that will lend me Sfi.Oi'O,
I will put a boat on the Hudson River,
which will make the passage from New
\ oik to Albany at four miles an hour, with
out being driven by oars or sails.' lie was
an inoffensive monomaniac, that Robert
I" ul:o i. Rut still, had it not been for this
one idea, lowa would have slept ttie last
-ixty years, and dor a to the twentieth ecn
tnrv, and not one human being before me
or within the boundaries of this state
would have resided h'-re. What I under
stand by one idea is this; I' timpiy ans
that i TiWtij uf u j'C' j,-i ,f/• a State, tx in
citrni'fif. They got an idea which tht-v
think is useful, and th, v are in earnest
H-'d save u- when we 'ibandim confidence
in earnest men, and take to fallowing triv
ial men of light min is, confused and scat
tered ideas, and weak purrcses.
Fellow citizens, there is no such thing as
-1 ivernmcut earned out with -ut the inter
volition, the rising, the exaltation of one
idea, and without the activity, guidance
and influence of earnest men. You may
be listless, indifferent, indolent, each one
u. you —do you therefore get ether people
to go to sleep? No. You go to sleep,
and you will find somebody that has got
one idea that you don't like, wli i will be
wide awake. They want to be wideawake
on the negro question as long u it pays,
and it pays ju-t as long as you will be con
tent to follow their guidance and take sev
oral ideas.
Fellow citizens, industry is the result of
one idea, i have neve r heard of idle ones
in the Leaver's emu but 1 do know then
are drones in the beehive. Nevertheless,
the beaver's camp, and the beehive all give
evidence of the domination of one idea.
The Almighty Power himself could never
have made the world, and never govern it,
if lie had nut bent the force and applica
tion of the one idea to make il j erfeet.
And whet; at 7 o'clock in the morning,
three months ago, with the almanac in my
hand, I stood with my smoked glass be
tween me and the sun, t< see whether the
almanac maker was correct, or whether Nu
t ire vasciHated between one idea and an
other, 1 was astonished to see that, at the
vcrv o -oinl of t'mc indented b l -* the as
tiuiiomer, the shadow of the moon entered
the disk of the sun. There was one idea
only in the mind of the Omnipotent Crea
tor, that, six thousand, or ten thousand, or
twenty thousand, or hundreds of thousands,
of years ago. set that sun, that moon, and
this earth in their places, and subjected
them M laws which brought thatsludow ex
actly at this point at that instant of time.
Earth is serious; Heaven is seiious; earth
is earnest; Heaven is earnest. There is no
place f. r men of scattered and confused
ideas in the earth beiow, or in the heavens
above, whatever there may be in places un
der the earth.

He said i.i-s name is Samuel Stanley, arid
that i e is charged with murdrri: ; a Mr.

that it Was cat -• 1 1 y his iia- li;g dit r- vercd

his punishment would exceed n si rt term
ia tHe penitentiary, lie declined t" give us
. any particulars of the affair.
He stated that lie had worked on the
Black and Chippewa rivers in Wisconsin,
and had been in Minnesota threi years, al
though he was a native of Ohio, and had
a residence there when the murder took
1 ; face. lie had worked in I. wcrSauk rap

Without manifesting much contrition for
tl.e crime, or fear of punishment, he
imagine 1 that everybody looked ur.on
him as a murderer. '1 he elements even
wldspered in his cars, whom he had aban
doned the society f men and lived alone
in the depths of the forest. Consequently
he has had no abiding place for --ix years,
but has roamed thr' Ugh the country from
Texas to Minnesota, suffering, a - ho says,
'more than a hundred deaths.' At last,
almoit worn out. he came to the conclusion
to deliver himself up. that after the sentence
of the law had boon executed, he might
again live among his friends, or make a
home where he would be undisturbed by
its terrors.

//'• Ex'-npes fn.r.i a Lun-ilb A glum,
' Mitrrils a jiich IVidow, and Bugs a Block
1 of Buildings —About a year since a gentle
. . * ~
man m the interior of Wisconsin became
insane and was sent to the Lunatic Asylum
at Madison in that State. He wa-apiiy-i
--eian by profession and was a gentleman of
superior cultivation and of remarkably pre
possessing appearance. He was about 30
years old. Some : ix weeks ago lie escaped
'from the Asylum and went to Chicago.
There he encountered an old friend, who
loaned him money, he having no suspicion
of his insanity. With this money he sup
plied himself with new and e'egant "Jo-th
ing and started for Laporte, Indiana, a
thrifty village on the line of the Michigan
Southern Railroad, lie remained there
i long enough to win the affections oi a young
and wealthy v. idow and was man led to her.
During the brief courtship he exhibited
' no indications of lunacy, but shortly after
| his marriage he commenced conducting
himself in a manner which startled and
shocked his wife and her friend-.
Among other mad fancies he believed he
was a sheep, and Insisted upon crawling
around on his hands and feet, bleating in
the most ab-urd manner. Lie would then
fancy himself a rattlesnake and make frantic
attempts to Lit" the members of his house
hold. The unhappy lady, at length worn
out with watching him and endeavoring to
restore his reason, made preparations to
send hiin to the Asylum at lndianajiolis
But as is frequently the case, Insanity had
! sharpened his wits and he adroitly escaped.
We next hear of him in Syracuse, N. Y.,
where lie actually purchased a block of
buildings. The necessary papers were made
out and he was to call the next day with
the money. He was to pay an outrageous
SUTU for the property, and it is said the par
ties with whom he made the bargain chuck
led vastly over the propitious winds that
had blown them so profitable and fresh a
subject. But they saw no more of him.
The lunatic stai ted westward. At Buffalo he
bargained for an immense amount of corn,
to be delivered in New York city, and then
proceeded to ' le: c'aud He arrived her"
last week and endeavored to negotiate i ;
sum real e>;ate on Kinsman stieet. but he
talked so absurdly that the parties with
whom he had interviews refused to treat
with him.
.Meanwhile his friends, and j articular';, his
wife in Wisconsin ffor ho has a wile and
two children in that State a were making
every ellori to ascertain his whereabouts
i hey tiwtv 1 him la fyracuoe. and ir.on
there to this city, li is brother arrived
here on Saturday m >rning last, but found
that the lunatic had left on the prcviou
evening's train for the YYtst He followed
cu S. turday morning. At T.-iiva. he ic an
ed that he had g ne \\ est on ii c Michigan

and captured him and took him home.

sai l: ' Why, Clay, if you think slavery is |

matter, yet, seeing that I was drilling in

Kcy„ An exciting discussion was held at ■
Norfolk ( irginia) on Friday Est, by the j
i lectois of the Constitutional Union, the I
'Breckinridge Democratic' and the 'Doug
las regular Democratic parties*. To the
course of the remarks made by Mr. Lamb,
the elector of the Breckinridge Democracy, '
( who it will bo remembered oropounded j
to Mr. Douglas the famous ' Norfolk qucs j
tions,' answered promptly hy that gentle j
man,) he stated that he (Mr. Lamb) had
fulfilled his promise and propounded the
same questions t.- Mr. Breckinn i. , but j
that Mr. Breckinridge had-declined answer
ing them.
The Richmond W nig argues that if it
be 'the blackest treason' to answer the N- r
folk questions as .Mr. Douglas did, as is held '
by -oine oi' Air. Breckinridge's supporters, '
it vcv.l! sec ni to lea very easy :h In _r for
the latter gentleman to nnswer them differ
ently, and at the same time properly. It •
thinks that the public arc entitled to ans
wers to these questions from Mr. Breckin
ridge, and that his party ought to insist
upon an answer so that every man may vote
for or against Mr. Breckinridge, as they
can for or against Mr Fell and Air. Doug- ,
las. with a i'u!i knowledge of their views on
~ p , .
a question ol constitutional law.
