While yet a child,' the P wcoLoittsi had soi
much promise, that it was pretty evident 'tbe
bias of hermind was towards dramatic ejpres-r
sion—whether as an actress or a singer?
When,'she, entered her teens, it was 'clear that
her ability was likely to be developed fh' tbe*
latter Capacity. ' Her parents had the ‘good l
sense not tp discourage her, eyi<Jont .pr.cdllecT
tion, and placed her under the tuition of Ro-.

in-i'iorcnco, called the
.•Cess .Was pna*';-immeaifit6fHaisMe3fp*TO*
die was thrown, and was a winning cast.
Henceforth Mabia PicoOtosnw was ‘a public
singer. „ |
From Florence she started, in 1852) on a
professional tour through Italy, performing at
Rome, Palermo, Verona, and Turin. ■At this
last place, she appeared in “La Traviata,”
and throw herself into tho character (revolt
ing,as it must be to a virtuous mind) with an
intuitive perception of the effects which, in
the acting as well as the singing, arereqnired
to make it impressive. ~
These four years of practice were of im
mense advantage to this.young singer—just
as, on the dramatic. Btage, that probation
called “roughing it-in the, provinces” 1b of
use to an actor. She learned the manage
ment of her voice j she had constant practice
in singing, under the criticism of audiences
to Whom music Is second nature, as it weraj
she acquired the trick of acting, which singers
so much neglect—as in the cape ‘of Biuunoli,
for example, who cannot walk the stage with
out being laughed at for' bis clumsy awkward
ness—and she became mistress of many of the
numerous methods by which judicious bye
play gives’ effect to vocal expression. At
last,,in 1866, at the age oftwenty-one, she
was, engaged by Mr., Lvmlvx. (actually by
Lord Wabd, tho actual lessee) to appear at
her Majesty’s Theatre, in London.
At that opera-house, to bo merely engaged
as leading prima donna, is as mnch a pre
sumption of ability, as to bo entered for one
of the great races on the English turf is of the
blood, and speed of a horso. Success at the
Opera-house (to carry out the comparison)
wins henor and money, just as the horse which
comes in ahead for the Derby, at Epsom, ob
tains for his owner, largo stakes and what Dia
haeli calls “the blue ribband of the turf.”
It was in “La Traviata” that Mab'ia Fio
coiokini made her debut in London. It is a
character in which she sings and acts admi
rably, and she made a decidedly triumphant
impression. In one evening, her reputation
as a first-class dramatic vocalist was estab
lished, beyond doubt. - This pro-eminence she
maintained during the whoie season. Per
sonally, also, she,was very popular among the
Jtaute noblesse aud " upper ten” of England.
To them, she appeared not only as an admi
rable singer, with most pure and irreproach
able, reputation, bnt alse.as the daughter of a
princely house. Far from looking upon hor
as a more adventurer, who thought, with Jo-
ASHA Wagnee, that “ the Engiish are to be
esteemed only for their money,” they con
sidered her as a woman who had taken up tho
art, chiefly because she loved it. And thus,
admitted into familiar intercourse with tho
very first circles in England—circles into
which ' mere wealth never could win en
trance—Signora Piooolomihi obtained “ hosts
of friends.” The result was seen in tho pe
cuniary success of her benefit. The theatre
was filled, and tho presents, in jewelry and
money, are said to have equalled tho amount
received fer the sale of tickets.
From London sho passed oyer to Paris,
where her reception was nearly, but not quite
equal to that in the lormer city. She returned
to England in 1887, and played that season in
London, occupying herself in the autumn
months by singlDg at concerts in tho leading
cities and towns of Engiand,lreland, and Soot
la,®!. Every where sho won popularity—and
cash. During the present year, she repeated
her career of 1858, with somewhat diminished
success in London, where an ’ impression pre
vails that Bho has sung rather of late.
In the provinces, her attraction seemed undi
minishod. In Dublin, on her last visit, shortly
before starting for this country, occurred
the incident which supplied a subject for
satirt In tho last-received number of Punch.
. This design, entitled “ Twin Stars, or
Bival Italian artists,” represents Cardinal
Wiseman and Signora Fiooolokini standing
on tho top of a chariot, from which the pops
lace have removed the horses, and have placed
themselves in harness, to draw the rival per
formers through the streets. The Cardinal,
in full costume—robe, hat,’stockings, and cro
sier—seems addressing the multitude; and no.
man can do so more eloquently. The singer,
tremendously crinolined, with, a coronal of
flowers on her head, and a monsirC'boquet in
her left hand, while the right hand Is pressed
upon the region of the heart, as she speaks in
Italianised English to the crowd..
: Picooiomini did nbt leave Lpndpn without a
profitable farowoll. ‘On the 28th of Septem
ber, she gave a’ concert, chiefly of Italian,
music, 'on the.Cehtral transept of the Crystal
'Palace, the other vocalists being Signors’G'nr-'
Omni, AiDidHißhi, Rossi, and with
Aiuuti as conductor., .. . ■ ,
” The Times said; “ ‘Mademoiselle Piocotom
ni’s farewell to England ’ was the, prominent,
liho in the billsj and as the.admirers' of the.
vivacious and energetic little prima donna are
legion, there was,' in accordance, with general
expectation, an immense. attendance. Every

reserved place had been' secured in' advance,
: thS'.tptal number present being not far, shdrt
otj 10,000.” If the critics be believed, Pid
;• o.olomihi rarely'.sang better. Suoh an .ardent
; Otemperamentjjs hors conld not be otherwise
than excited to an unusual pitch under circnm
btaoces spcalcuiatod to elicit emotion. Sho
gave her whole soul to her task, dnd was never
j-more dramatic, even before the footlights;
; 'Wild with enthusiasm, the audience applauded
; 'every thing, encored almost every thing.
In response to one encore,' the Signora sang
Balpb’s «I dreamt that I. dwelt iu marble
‘'hulls.” But her English is funny. - -
Piooolomini’s voice is a soprano, more
flWoot tliatl strong, but capable of-oxtraordi
! ytarjr expression. It really has more of the
nightingale” characteristics than Jenny* l
;LiNß’s,and almost as muoh as Sontao’s had,
, in her youth. Besides singing exquisitely,
hhe acts, in some- few, characters, with bril
liant effect. ; The combination is said to be
remarkably charming.
?£•'The number.of. operas in which-Piooolo
ir&i sustains characters, In her 'very best
manner—that is. almost hotter than any of
.hef rivals—ls comparatively few; Some say
; that tho magic number three composes the
.total. ...Others, stretching a point, extend the
numbortof four. Her great parts, par excel
fence, are' Violetta , in “LS Traviata Lucia,
ir\ ‘‘Lucia: do Lammevmoor j” Zerlin a, in
“Don Giovanni,” and (porbaps) Lucrekia, in
'“Lucrozia Borgia,”
- She haa performed, however, in “ The Hu
guenots,” “La Figlia di -Eegimento,”! ‘'Lu
isa Miller," and two. or three other. operas.
Hey opening appearance in New York, last
night, was to have .boon in “La Traviata.”
In stature,lPicboLOiim'i.is.pefffo, witli as good
j n figure as can be estimated from the present
‘frightful expansion of petticoat. Her face,
full in tjie lower .features, reminds one of Al
doni’s. ’ Judging from’ three or four' en
gravings which we have seen, (we never saw
'the original,) the charm of her countenance is
Vxprution rather than beauty, though she cer
tainly is welt-looking. She wears her dark
hair plain, divided in the middle, and thrown
hack off 1 the temples, in thick short curls on
the neck. . ‘ :

* Editor Press : Thinking,' perhaps,
-that any information! might be able to give yon
in regatd to oar far-distant and embryo Territory
might be acceptable to at least, some of yobr nu
merous readors, I will endeavor to give yon at
leapt a portion of our interesting topics; whether
they piay ho so to. the peopleof the Btates remains
a question yot'to be determined. Our Delegate,
Sylvester Mowry, Esq , reached Tuo'son yesterday,
to our‘great delight. ; I say delight, for this rea
taonaXHe i»o» t been, made a'B<»a>y*-witposs of our
wahfc Territorial '(irgonlz,T.t{bn. I shall men
tion foots whfoh, I hope, may have some influence
with members of Congress who may be opposod to
our organisation. , As. a ,Territory, 1 do not urge
the elaim as a matter of sympathy, or debate, but
as an absolute necessity,-from which no man with
ordinary'feelings of humanity oan appeal.
As you are. perhaps, aware, the semi-weekly
overlandmall commences running on, the 15th of
the present month. Preparatory to tho fnitiative
trip, the company have had a large body of men
employed in building corrals and stations for the
purpose of protecting the animals of tha mall
party from the Indians. Seventy-fire miles east
)f this place, and fifty miles from Fort Buchanan,
is a place polled Dragoon Springs: the overland
mail had a station built at this point, with seven
men detailed to take ohnrge of the moles and
forage—-four Americans and three Mermans (Sono--
tians). Oa Wednesday night an old gentleman
named Burr was on guard, and the rest of the
party were apparently asleep; bat, sad to relate,
the'*Ainerioanß.alone were.wrapped in slumber,
trusting for security to tbe vigilance of the guard.
The Mexicans; rising stealthily from thoir blankets,
procured two axes, and walking quietly up to tbe
guard, who unsuspicious of ms companions was
walking up and down in front of the corral, and
dealt him a blow with an axe wbioh killed him
instantly, he having nevor uttered a warning cry
or-moved from tbe position in which ho bad fallen.
Having succeeded in murdering this man, their
work of death did not oease; returning to tbe in
side of tbe corral, they Attacked two more of the
Americans; one theyjtilled, the other they left for
dead with his skull fractured completely across,
and his brains hanging from the aperture; thoy
thou started across the corral to make, an attack
upon Mr. St. John, the remaining man; he having
heard them or soon them striking Cunningham,
was aroused; they ran upon hftn with their axes;
bo warded their blows from his head, hut was ter:
ribly cut iu - tbe arm, obe’st, and leg; he then
rushed past them and seized his shot gun upon
which they ran; but finding ho could not elevate
it, ho took his six-shooter and cocked it; they re
turned'to the attaok; he fired the moment they
entored the door, upon which they fled and never
returned.
But the most horrible portion of tbe tale remains
to be told. The wounded were left entirely alone,
without assistance of any kind, for fivo days; lay
ing on the ground suffering .the, tortures of tbo
dsmned. In fact, so terrible were their sufferings
that St John had determined to kill himself with
bis revolver, had not assistance arrived within four
hours.
' The San Antonio' and San Diego mail passed
them on the fifth day. Having driven up to the
station, the first sight which met their eyss was
the dead body of old Mr. Burr. Thinking that
perhaps the Indians had made an attack, they
npproflohed carefully, but were hailed by St. John,
who cried out for Goa’s sake to bring him water,
Lieutenant Mowry and Colonel Leooh, of the rend
commission, tendered all assistance In their power,
and were' five hours dressing St John’s wounds.
The sight was so horrible that Colouel Leeoh, a
manor tremendous physique, fainted. They left
a man with tho wounded, and sent an express for
a physician to Fort Buohanan. immediately upon
their arrival in this plaoo. There is a possibility
of St. John's reoovery, if a physician reaohes tho
Springs shortly, though it is thought his arm will
have to bo amputated. A handful of maggots were
taken from his wound in tho arm. The object of
the Mexicans wus to steal the muloß end arms and
oßcapo into Sonora.
Now, Mr. Editor, this horrible tragedy ocourred
within sovonty'four miles of one of tho most popu
louB portions of our Territory, \yhafc, in the name
of humanity and justiooare we to' do without some
protection from the Government of the United
$ tat 03? .Had the people of this part, of the Union
boon outcasts from the pale of sooiety guilty of every
orlmo in tho calendar, they could not bo treated
with more injustice than they have been by the
Congress of tho United States. Wo have evorv es
sential requisitofor being one of tbelargost,wealthi
est, and most impor ant Territories of the lie
publio.
A large and enthusinstio meeting was hold at
Mesilla upon the arrival of Lioutonunt Mowry in
that place, in whioh the people deolarcd their In
tention of not voting fora Representative to tho
Legislature of New Moxioo, nndoalling upon the
Senator from that place to resign, wbioh he did
immediately, having written his resignation in the
meeting, atthesamotimoaoquiesolngintho aotlon
of the people.
Mr. Mowry addressed the meeting, and was en
thusiastically reooivod by the people.
To-night Mr. Mowry delivered a brilliant speech,
which waß explanatory of hifl past ooutfo in re
gard to the Territory, and leading us to hope that
a Territorial organisation will bo given to us at
the ensuing session of Congress. Mr. Mowry has
made for himself hosts of friends during bis visit,
and will be renominated without a dissenting vote.
He goes from this place to Guaymas, tho seaport
ot Sonora Thoro aro many surmises as to his
objeot. What it may be wo do not protend to say.
Peradventure ho mqy be spying out the land.
Emigration is ooujing in, of a good kind. Many

Tubuc, Arizona Territory, )
September 25,1853. J
Mr. Emfoß i Binoo my last letter to you, dated
Tucson, I hare boon making a tour through the
southern and southeastern portions of our- Terri
tory, fur amusement as well-os business, and cow
intend to give you and your ladders some items re
garding tbeminoral and agricultural resources of
the country. Leaving Tucson in a four-horse am
bulance, and au agreeable companion, we directed
our course to the Sopor! ranoh. The first objeot of
Interest whioh met our view* was the mission
ohuroh of Ban Xavier del Bao, whioh may bo seen
for a mile before you reach the mission; jit is por
hapsHbe finest building to be seen from San Anto
nio, Texas, to Ban Fronoiwo, California ‘lt waa
Is?
> From Lopori we proceeded to the Cerro Colora
do or Quntzelman mine, distant ten miles. 1 Here
the work ofimining has been carried on vigorously:
they have ereoted two furnaoes, and arenow'smelt-
Ing 1,000 ounoes of silver per week; and shipping it
to San Franoisoo. The situation -is beautiful.
Among tho hills the smoke of, the furnaoes rises,
suggesting the ideadhat before many months the
whole country wit! be blaokened by the olouds of
smoke, which will be ominbus of our future great-<
ness. It would appear fabulous were Ito name’
to you thejiumber of silver mines which are at the
present tsmo either being worked, or the discover
ers only waiting for means toqarryon the work.
However, 1 will mention some-of the most worthy
of notice. Tho Patagonia mirie, in the 'Saq
nfo mountain, wiifbe, I think, one of-the most
productive', for the reason that the silver is united
with lead ore, tho best combination for smelting';
a, company ia being formed to work it. In the
same mountain, is the San Antoniomine/whiob
has every warranty for being rich, and every sign
by which old min ers can judge. In addition to this;
and in the same- range again, are gold placeios,
known to have been worked by tne.Mexioans.
! Copper is so oommon as to be a drag, absolutely a
drug. Immense quantities of lidh ore can be
found, but the facilities for transportation are so
hard to obtain, and so costly, that it will not pay- j
Our Bgrioultural resources are not surpassed in
tho continent. , I have seen twenty ears of oorn
taken from four stalks, and'in the same field aores
of oorn, from twelve' 1 to fifteen feet high,;whioh
were never touohed from the day they were planted
with a hoe until they were out down, every
stalk had large, ■fall-grown ears upon It. Crapes
and peaches grow in the greatest abundanoe. For'
wheat, the oountry oarinot be surpassed.
: We held an election ori the 20th for delegate to
Congress. Sylvester Mowry, Esq., reoeivea every
ballot oast in the Territory, so. iar as heard from.
His eleotion was entirely, unanimous. iJispre
senoe among us only increased the "popularity
which he bad gained by his untiring exertionß for
the organization of the Territory!. , r .1 I ' ‘ !
We are hoping anxiously that Congress will give
ns a Territorial, government. .We have no law,,
excepting the.hand of violence. I will mention an
instance whloh speaks,more eloquently than my
pen. - In Tucson, a few days' ago, a : yout>g man
arrested a Mexioan for stealing bis mule, andj while
deliberating punishment he should give him,
the Mexican ran, whereupon he was struck bri the’

Hon. Arch. Dixon— My Dear Sir: A‘politi
cal contest is in progress in the neighboring! State
of Illinois, which has attracted much attontfon in
all parts of the Union, and I cannot bht believe
that great publlo consequences are likely to grow
out of it, let It terminate as it may. I allude, of
courpo, to the straggle going on between Messrs.
Douglas and Lincoln, for a seat in tho National
Senate. Grave and momentous questions, have
been tinder discussion between these gentlemen,
and tho most deolded ability hes been displayed
by both of them. New and peculiar elements
have of late found their way into this fearful
strife for political asoendenoy. of a"nature to im
part much needless bitterness thereto, 'and greatly
to enhance the importance of the ultimate result.
Calm and dispassionate men, wholly free! from,
party ronco*. are beginning to perceivefbatdt has
become imperiously necessary to counteract, the
unscrupulous and tyrannical employment of Ex
ecutive influence hud Federal official patronage
for tbe patting down of a dreaded political-rival,
and the defeat of sacred and venerated, principles
of pubiio liberty wbioh lie at tho very foundation
of free institutionssin this hemisphere ’ My own
viows in regard to this contest are already suffi
ciently well known, and I shall not, therefore, at
present aunoy you with a formal declaration of
them. -My objeot is very different; I wiljproceed
to state it.
You are the original proposer in Congress of that
portion of the Kansas-Nebrnska act wbioh provides
for the annulment of the Missouri Compromise.
You are known to be a warm and enlightened pro
slavery man in your opinions and feelings, and
yon have signalized yonr devotion to Southern in
stitutions on more than one noted occasion. ‘Your
high reputation for integrity and patriotism,' your
freedom from all party bias, your reputation' for
intelleotual ability, ana your known familiarity
with the noted Kanaas-Nabraska act In all Its aa
spoots and bearings, induce me to propound a few
interrogatories to you, an early response to whioh
oannot but, in mv judgment, be productive of salu~
t&rv consoqtionoes
Does the Kansas-Nebroska net justify tho course
pursued by those statesmen who struggled la*t
winter to drag a portion of the American people
into the Union under a Constitution evidently not
enstnmped with their sovereign will? Is the
English bill approved by you, and. do you deem it,
in the least degree obligatory at the present time?
Do you regard the general onurse pursued by Mr.
Douglas, both in the Senate last winter and In the
progress of the canvas* now pending in Illinois, as
worthy of sanction and commendation or the con*.
Irary? Is the Administration in Washington
justified in employing official patronage for the
defeat of Mr. Douglas under existing circum
stances? Is not snob an attempt on the-part
of any Administration, and under any eironm
stances, a gross abuse of power—a most dangerous
violation of prinoiple, derogatory, alike to State
Sovereignty and popular rights,-and "subversive
of publio< morals? Do you not think that the
time has arrived when it is incumbent upon
good men of all parties, in some dignified and be
coming mode, to hold kind, fraternal counsel with
eaoh other for the publio welfare, and toco-operato
heartily and energetically in such manner as may
seem likely to prove most effectual, for the pur
pose of getting rid forever of the existing oauous
or conventional nominating system, under tho in
fluence of whioh tho intellect and Virtue of tho
oountry aro held in a state of shameful suppres
sion ? Demooratio prinoiple?, dear to every en-'
ligh toned patriot, are overthrown and trodden
under foot in the snored name of Democracy—
and men distinguished alono for imbeoility and
servility of spirit, or for more serious faults and
vices, are raised to the highest places of trust and
dignity known to our form of Government; whilst
a general corruption of the public morals is more
than menaced, as the natural aud inevitable re
sult of tho baneful working of this oauous system.
These are serious and vital questions, from re
sponding to wbioh a timid man would shrink, and
a selfish time-server would reooil; but whioh, I
confidently believe, you will answer, and answer
promptly, fully, and in language of exnlioitncss
whioh will leave no doubt upon the minds of any
of your follow-olfizens, whether you are on the
sido of your oountry at this perilous orisis in oar
Rational affairs, or prepared to see the institutions
of our fathers go down to min without one gene
rous, manly struggle to resoue them from destruc
tion.
b lilt by the about one hundred years ago,
at the time when this section was well populated
with/ininers, and the fieldswere alive'with the
Hooks and herds of the ranoheros.* Tho building
isaboufcone hundred feet long and fifty,feet wide,
and has been beautifully, .ornamented both upon
the-inside and, front, bat is' fast falling to rains.
The paeble Isinhabited by'Papayo Indians, who
onltivate a few adres. sufficient only for their sup
port, although there are. hundreds of aores whloh
could bemad© Jibe,a garden, were it
not for the predatory exqursiops of the Apaches,
the curse of the country." Leaving the mission
we journeyed southward through Santa Cruz
valley, one of the finest grazing countries! in the
world, uhtil weioame to the,Rio -Venton ranch,
now occupied by an American, who is endeavoring'
to. raise stock, but lives along from ’day;-to
day in oonstant fear, expecting 'some 'Bright
morning to wake up and find himself rained
by some Indian foray. Candidly, , speaking,
this is. the life of every,settlor. . I myself have,
known instanoes of males being stolen whloh’were
tied to the door wily thieves. This
ranch is-finely situated, arid' possesses- every fa-,
oility for cultivation. The owner haa a large
quantity of edrn plnnted, from whiqh he expects a
bcuntiful return. The Rio Ventou is, a beautiful
stream, but partakes of tho same feature. aa .all
the rivers of the country—that is, it' rises, and;
after running a tew miles,- sinks, to rise again pro
bably twenty miles distant. - We proceeded to the'
Lopori ranoh, through an undulating.country,
splendidly adapted to stook raising until we ar
rived at the ranoh. Here again we saw large
Holds of blooming oorn, enough to make our hearts
bound'in this wild oountry—looking upon,some
marks,of reviving oivilUstlon, and at,the same
time recalling thoughts of pur old homes in the
States. This ranoh is contiguous to the oelebrated
Lopori mine, whloh is sow being worked by. the
Lopori Mining Company, although the progress is
slow, as everything must be in so wild s' oountry
as this; yet there is very plain evidenoe that,the
work is in the hands of energetio men. There is,
no situation In the oountry better‘adapted for a
mining buoienda than this—fine water, fertile
and productive soil, and the mine distant but a
mile, enough for convenience, without being
crowded, we predict great success for theoom
pany. 5

To the Hon. H. S. Foote:
My Dear Sir : However nnexpeoted was such
a communication os that whioh you have done me
the honor to send mo, yet as it rotates to a matter
concerning which my views have been ever of a
oloar and decided character, and as the questions
propounded by you stand connected with publio
interests dear to overy patriot, 'I do not feel at
liberty to refuse a prompt aud explioit response to
them. I shall not answer them speoifioally, but
mnko such general statements of facts and opinions
as I hope will meet your wishes.
Ihavewatohed the progress of tho senatorial
contest in Illinois with the most intense solioitudo,
and shall continue to do so until its result shall bo
made known- loonsldcrtbe success of Mr. DougMs
essential alike to tho peace of the Union and the i
safety of the South *, and the unblushing and pro- j
fligate attempt to break him down by tho corrupt
and unprincipled use of Fodoral official patronage ■
i and executive influence, I regard ** eminently
disgraceful to all concerned therein. Mr Douglas,
in his present position, is, in my judgment, entitlod
to the sympathy of every honest patriot in the
I land and I venture to predict that the time will
' speedily oome when an overwholmibg majority
of honest and enlightened.freomontatheslave’?
bolding States of tho South will recognise him
as their bold and fearless champion,. and the
eloquent vindicator of their rights and safety.

.known as the Epgiish } bill. 1 The eha'ogefal and
vacillating coarse pursued on thls aubiect by Mr.
Buchanan and his Cabinet' has* awakened my
strongest disgust; and I hold the insidious inter
meddling which they ''are now practising in
Illinois to be .vicious afld'censurable-in the ex

.respected and.aoted on, will 1 be'inevitably fatal
to everything whieh is valuable in nur eivU insti
tutions, .. 'i y ‘ - ' ' - *' *
" I havp ; heretofore freely denohnoed,and shall
hereafter ! take, the' liberty of denouncing in lan
guage of unmistakable plainness, the'conduct of
the Administration for some months past, in their
efforts kfdefeat andputdowna meritorious and
accomplished statesman, by siioh means as have
never been heretofore, to the same extent at least,
resorted, to, because be was'hot willingto prosti
tute his own conscience in^obedience toExeoutive
behests, and I have eharged, as I shall continue to
oharge, Mr Buchanan and bi# constitutional ad
visers with having shown themselves ! alike un
faithful to the best interestsof the Southern States
of tho- Confederacy,.- and. .to ,the'vltal principles
of popular freedom everywhere. I charge them
with having tramplerfunder footall the essen
tial principles 'of republican-government in-the
scheme - projected by • therm for tbe establishment,
of a written Constitution over a portion of the
American people, over whom ltrwae to'be supreme
in its'operatlon, which so-called- Constitution not
only ; did not embody.the .will of the.people among
whom ife was to bear oontrol,'but'to wbioh every
reasonable man on the continent knew them to be
utterly opposed, I accuse this Administration of.
having attempted to revive the main distinguish*
ing"feature of the Missouri Compromise; -for it is .
mosfc evident to my mind that if tho Federal Go-.
vernment,.wlth its confessedly .limited powers, has
authority virtually to ordain a sTate .Constitution,
and give it operative foroe among any portion of
our free people, wbioh Constitution shall in terms
provide for the establishment - and'maintenanoo of.
.slavery,, tbe same Government oan also, .at its.
, pleasure, oause to be and put in exe
cution, a Constitution'prohibiting the introduction
or continued existence of ‘slavery altogether; and,
by doing so, tp render, the act repealing, the Mis-. .
sour! restriction altogether null and ineffective. .
I hold'this Administration responsible for da-. .
Ting* to' proclaim*, in a grave official document,
marked with, the fullest deliberation, tbe .danger
ous, .heretical, and .truly antt-republiean doctrine,
that a bare majority of the voters ’ may, at their
discretion, 1 change, modify, or" overthrow the set*
,ored. organlo law; in violation of all its own forms ’
and restrictions, which absurd, aoarohioal, and
-mob-jastffying if earned - into practical
operation, would prove fatal to Southern institu
tions, and the institutions of the whole country. I
denounce thismost blundering and mischievous Ad
ministration on acoountof theoordlal sanction which
it has given to the alarming principle embodied in
the.Engtish bill, that a sovereign State , may be
admitted into the Union with a population less'
than, the ratio'of-representation established by
Congress; for if thi« t principle be carried into ef
fect, (with the oertainty existing that there will be -
twenty free States hereafter applying for admis
sion to'one slave State,) It is dear that alLsueh n»,w .
would be admitted;,with; the advantage of
being allowed a representation in the' two houseg
of• the National
howeverinccfcslderablb; In-numbers, whilst tbe
other States ,of.the i Union,.heretofore .admitted,
would be-required to have a population far more
numerous, - < * >-i.v-i • - 1 _ • ,
- I disapprove in.the fullest manner.the. conduct
of .the Administration in bringing the patronage
of the Government into conflict with’ tbe freedom
of elections; end regard its course in this matter as
anti-Demooratio,. arbitrary, and unconstltutlonol
Tbe whole course of opposition to Judge Douglas
and his politioal friends in Illinois, so Tar as Mr.
;Buohanan and his: Cabinet are concerned,' I re-,
g&rcj as .illiberal, unjust, and, impolitic, deeply
aisgracefal te thoße coboerned in it,'and danger
ous to the Republic itself. The motives that have
ledfto.a course eo wrong and, mischievous are not at
.all difficult of deteotion He is, recognised' as an
aspirant to the Presideutial atatioh, and it is hoped
that if he oan tie put down in' Illinois, there will
be an end of his claim to the Presidential-dignity.
His whole sin, letting his own &dversarieg be his
jadges’jis that he has nobly remained'steadfast in
thesupport of(his own long-cherisbed principles,
whilst others, pledged in every way, to.their main
tenanoe, have meanly shrunk from their' support
It is presently to he seen * whether the American
people -will .permit such a course of heartless
atrocity to .succeed;, .whether, they .will{allow
genius and moral worth, and'high aocompHsh
meats, and statesmAn-like wisdom,' and tmemotal
courage, and illustrious every way, to’
be ornahed by imbecility, and unsorupulous am
bition, and corruption oled in official robes, and
faction organized for great pubiio mischief,' and
politioal trickery hndked &pd. sustained by tbe
■flawTOyLtpoilg of ojfae., . .. ~
Touohing anotiipir grave and interesting matter
to whioh you have done me the honor of calling
my attention;. I will offer a, few suggestions. I
agree you that there is no party organisation
how existing capable (in itself, or by the hid of
other organisations heretofore hostile,.through ihe<
instrumentality of any, process of fusion yet pro
jected) of remedying existing evils. The people
themselves must aohieve their own redemption from
party thraldom by their own noble,energies.' The'
people must arm against the monster oauous. The
people muafc cleanse the Augean stable; and 'weed
away the plants of corruption. A spirit is ajbro&d
wbioh promises great and speedy reform; and, ns
a man not closely connected for several
with any party organization, I am prepared to do
all in my power as a true patriot and a lover of
freedom, in co-operation with suoh others as may
be found willing to enlist in tha fierce and. vital
struggle now at hand, to free the land from op
pression and dishonor, and renew thq felicity and
the glories of our post history. j
Of Jugge Douglas, personally, I have & few
words to utter wbioh f could not withhold,{with
out greatly wronging my own consoienoe. When
I entered the United States Senate a few years
sinoe, I found him & decided favorite with' the po
litical party then dominant both in .the Senate
and the country. My mind had been greatly pre
judiced against him, and I felt'no disposition
whatever to sympathise, pr to co-operate with him.
It soon beoame apparent to me, as to others, that
he was, upon the whole, far the ablest Democratic
member of the body. In the progress of time
my respect for him, both as a gentleman and a
statesman, greatly increased. I found him socia
ble, affable, and in the highest degree entertain
ing, and Instructive in eooial intercourse.’ His
power, as a debater, seemed to mo unequalled in
: the Senate. He was industrious, energetic, bold,
and skilful in the management of the concerns of
bis party. - He was, the. acknowledged leador of
the Demooratio party in the Senate, and, to con
fess the truth, seemed to -me to bear the honors
which enoiroled him with sufficient meekness.
Such was the palmy state of hia reputation and
popularity on tne day that ho reported to the
Senate his celebrated Kansas and Nebraska bill..'
On examining that bill, it struck me that it was
de&oieut in one material respect; it did not ia
terms repeal the restrictive provision to regard to
slavery embodied in' tbe Missouri Compromise -
This, to me, was a deficiency that I thought It im
periously neoessary to supply- I accordingly of
fered an amendment to that effect. My amend
ment setftned to take the Senate by'surprise, and
no one appeared more startled than Judge Doug
las himself. He immediately oame to my seat
and courteously remonstrated, against my amend
ment, suggesting that the bill whioh he had intro
duced was almost in the words of tho Territorial
aots forthe organization of Utah and New Mexico;
that they being a part of tbe eompromi&e measure
of-1850, he had hoped that I, a known and zealous
friend of the wise and patriotio adjustment whioh
had then taken plaoe, would not be inclined >to do
anything to call that adjustment in question or
weaken it before the country.
I replied that it was prooisely because I had
been, and was, a firm and zealous friend of the
Compromise of 1850, that I folt brand to persist in
tho movement whioh I had originated ,* that I was
well satisfied that the Missouri restriction, if not
expressly repealed, would oontinue to operate in
the Territory to whioh it had been applied, thus
negativing the great and' salutary prinoiple of
non-intervention, which constituted the moat pro
minent and essential feature of the plan of settle
ment of 1850- We talked for somo time amicably,
and separated. Some days afterwards Judge
Douglas came to my lodgings, whilst I was con
fined by physical.indisposition, and urged me to
sot up and take a ride with-him in his oarriage
I acoopted his invitation.aud rode out with him.
During our short excursion we talked on the sub
ject of my'proposed amendment, and Judge Doug
las, to my high gratification, proposed to me that
I should allow him to take charge of tho amend
ment and engraft it on his Territorial hill. I no*
oeded to the proposition at once, whereupon a
moat interesting Interchange occurred between us.
On this' oooasion, Judge Dougins spoke to me in
substance thus: “I have become perfectly satis
fied that it is my duty, os a fair-minded national
statesman, to co-operate with you as proposed in
scouring the repeal of tho Missouri Compromise
restriction. It is due to the'South; it is due to
the Constitution, heretofore palpably infracted;
it is due to that oharaoter for consistency which
I have heretofore labored to maintain. Tbe re
peal, if we Can effect it, will produae much stir
and commotion in tho free States of the Union for
a season. I shall be assailed by demagogues and
fanatios there, without stint or moderation. Every
opprobrious epithet will be applied to mo. ,1
shall be, probably, hung in effigy in many p»nces.
It is mero than probable - that I may become
permanently odious among those whora friendship
and esteem I have heretofore, possessed Jhis
proceeding may end my political career. But,
Suiting under the tense of the duty which ani
mates me, I am prepared to mako the sacrifice. I
will do it." . . ‘
He spoke in the most earnest and touohing man
ner and I confess that I wus deeply affected. I
said to him la reply: “ Sir, I once reooguised you
ns a demagogue, a mere party manoger, selfish,
and intriguing- I now find'you a warm-hearted
and starling patriot. Go forward ia the pathway
of duty as you propose, iand though all the world
desert you. J never vttll ” .
The subsequent course > of this extraordinary
personage now before the oountry. His great
speeches on this subjeot, in the Fenate and else
-1 where, have'slnco been made. As a true national
! statesman—as an inflexible and untiring advocate
i and defender of tbe Constitution of bis country—
I ns an enlightened, fair-minded, and high-soulea
f'phtriotVhe nas fearlessly battled for principle; no
has with singular consistency pursued the course
which he promised to pursue when we taifeea to
gether in Washington, neither turning to the right
notto this left. Though sometime# reviled and rldi
ouled hy those] mostTjeneflt.d by his labors, bo haa
hover been heard to complain Persecuted by
the leading men of the party he had so long
served and sustained, he has demeaned himtolf,
on all evasions, with moderation and dignity
