S 0 o’clock, P. M. ; white That of liia name

the evening,.- /
Thw announcements, as might bo sup
posed, had the effisct to awaken considerable
interest on the! part of out citizens, nnd at an
early hour in the afternoon the Court House
was crowded ,to its utmost capacity by an
audience of the first order—in which, not
only our city, but. the surrounding country,
was largely represented—all noxious to hear
what tho “ great agitator' 1 had to say in his
own defence.
At about the lime the train from the East
was due, our worthy Post Matter, “as in
duty bound,” formed himself into a proces
sion and took up his line of march fur the
Depot, in order (hit the great Senator, on his
arrival at the Forest City, might not fail to
meet with a proper reception. The proces
cion, strange a» it may sfeem, Was uoat.ended
with music—not even so much as that of
jewshnrp— at it proceeded on- its “ soli
tary way,” afforded, certainly, no very s'.ri
king indication of the great eVent which was
nhmil to transpire. Arriving in front of the
Depot, the procession (that is In sav,tho Post
Master.) halted. The cars were, unfortu
ralely, behind their time—from what cause,
report suith not; but it was conjectured it was
bv reason of the immense amount of dignity
with which they were freigh'ed ; and therein
was anoiher illustration of the truth of the
axiom, the origin of which was so sturdilv
contended fur hv the Dutch burghers of New
Amsterdam, that ‘great characters move s|nw.’
Two o’clock came—the hour appointed f>r
the meeting—bol the cars came not. Fifteen
minutes passed, and yet they tarried, as
tarried also bis palienl ( audience at tho Court
House, Ten minutesi more transpired, but
nothing more wonhyl of note. Fine min
utes more—hr bv thisi lime, limn itself bad
migntficd itself into a matter of considerable
consequence in certain quarters, when an
unusual shriek from the locomotive assailed
the ears of the bv-sianrtera, and on came the
express tram, with stunning notse, bearing
with it Hie noisiest uf nil political Furiosos
The tram stopped. The great Douglas step
ped to tho platform. A veritable Senamr id
the United States had arrived in Rockford,
and how enthusiastic the demonstration on
lbs part of the ‘‘ dear people.” M.-n were
seen running hither nnd thither; but, unfor
tunately. each was intent upon Ins own busi
ness. Some, n H true, were shouting at the
lop of Ih ur voices ; but it was only the ordi
nary oul-crv of the hotel “ porters." A
vnuih came forward, al this juncture, with a
huge bell ant) rang it most furiously. The
Senator, it is ssid, assumed an altitude as
if to bow, bv wav of 11 recognizing the com
pitmen: ' A sudden rush to the door of the
eating saloon, however, dispelled even this
illusion. The hell was for dinner (!) No)
o brow was bared—not a word uttered, by
wav of welcome. The Little Giant, it was
evident, for once, Mood " alone m his glory.”

Luunlennnce,” on a cenain occn.'on, were
awailej wnh an “odor.” The fumes of the
savory dishes of mine excellent host of the
City Iloiel, proved 100 strong for an appeiiie
which had so long been whe'ted bv “ hanker
ing after the (lesh.pnts of Egypt." Mr.
Douglas toddled from ihe pi itfurm—and to
use a homelv, but we think not inappropriate
expression—“ shot like a pea out of a. pop
gun" into the aforementioned saloon, nlloyeth
er unmindful, aa it appeared, that the proccs
stop, winch we have above described, was
bringing up the rear.
Seated at the table, jl was plain lo be seen
that the place beside him was occupied by a
Government functionary ; and while 'he
viands were being consumed, weightier mat
ters were being digested. To the anxious

At this moment n dropped into a low key
and by the aid of coughing and wheeling, he
was enabled to ejiculme the following;

As the imietV gold, looked securely in hia strong •
box, is of no practical benefit either to himself or to j
his fellow m«n, so, U adds nothing to the wealth or j
prosperity of.a country that it has t fertile arisen*
loss it bo cultivated, navigable rivers and vast inland
seas without commerce, mines of gold, silver,.cop
per and iron, locked securely in the bowels bf Iho
earth, with no incentive to unlock nalure*b strong
holds wilii tho key of enterprise. Uis the .**s only,]
which renders any of thdso things advantages.-
Their existence in any country, merely goes to show
whit that country is by nature, and what U might
6e y with enterprise (o develop its resource*. Cali
fornia, with its inexhaustible mines of gold, would
have been practically Jtw richer than iho moat bar
ren ridges of Northern Pennsylvania, had not labor
compelled its bills and river beds to yield their gold
en harvests. So with iU agricultural advantages—
which, fur a long time were neglected—they have
but lately bean made to add to the real wealth of
the Stale, by the enterprise of the farmer.
Our country has probably-as great, or greater
mineral wealth than any other upon which the sun
shines. li shares some of the more abundant kinds
with other countries —iron, for instance. There is
little danger but that our mines of gold, silver, lead
and copper will bo made to give up their immense
wealth, so long as the present order of things shall
eontiaae. Our mines of gold and silver, especially
need no protection, and those of copper and lead
can probably bo worked independent of tariff regu
lations.
But it is notso with iron. Nature has distributed
this mirtefal more equally throughout hot domain,
than any other—providently, for Hie use of man ev
erywhere. In consequence of this distribution, no
country has, or can have the exclusive monopoly of
the trade, all other things being equal. Then, that
country has the advantage over ail ethers, which best
combines the facilities of Capital and Labor in its
production. In Great Britain. Sweden and Russia,
itw manufacture forms the strong arm of home in
dustry, and has dune so for centuries. Thus it has
grown into an industrial giant, which, unaided, no
modern Stale can successfully compote will), hi
Ureal Britain, the capital invested in this brunch of
manufactures is so hmnente, that * profit of three
per cent, affords an ample income. Dul in this
Country, which has not a monstrous capital to invcft
in *uch an uncertain business as the production of
iron bus com© to be under insufficient prelection,
and if it had, could not at once concentrate il, the
nianuficlure u nccccssarily limited. Tho late pol
icy of (Jovcrnrocul, that 0f’42,) has been
to cripple U, hy throwing open our .ports to
portatum of foreign iron under a -merely nominal
! duly. The tariff of ’4*l infused new life into Ibis
branch of national industry ; but that of *46 robbed
it of the little vitality it had drawn from Protection.
Still, as we stated last week, a further reduction
U demanded by the Free Traders, by which iron
may be admitted free. They object to the present
tariff that it has impeded the progress of railroad
enterprises; that it has not benefited homo manu
factures; and finally, that it is not needed for reve
nue purposes.
Let us look into it:
By reference to certain statistics gleaned from a
stray ymmbcr of Iho Railway Advocate, vve find the
present duly on rails to amount to 91200 per mile of
single track. Now, suppose that any company
should htato to the public that, owing to unforeseen
difficulties in constructing a road, by which the cost
per mile was increased 91200, it fell obliged to «us
pend farther operations! What kind of backbone
would the public Consider such a Company to have?
Would it not cause a feUing off of the confidence
repQred in that Company by Uic public? Would
any respectable Company make such an announce
ment ? We presume not; for $l2OO per tyxilo extra
expense, never was a stumbling block in the way of
any railway Company deserving of public confidence
and never will be. This objection is all gammon.
Now for th« second objection: By further refer
ence to statistic**, wo find in proof that the home
manufacture has not been beneCtled by protection,
that since I d id, the importation of iron Ims increas
ed from $3,000,000 to $17,000,000: From this, it
*ucms that upwards of $13,000,000 has been taken
from the homo manufacture and given to foreign
capitalists, which sum, under the tariff of M 2, had
remained at home In foster home industry. And to
prove that tins objection is radically unsound, it ap
pear* that under the slight protection afforded by the
revenue tariff of M 6, this branch of industry lias
been extending Uwcll in all eccUonaof the Union.
It teem*' grateful even for the smallest mile of pro.
lection, and only waits for a just protection—com
mensurate with the prosperous influence it is de*tin.
a I to exert on the best interests of the country—to
spring into renewed life and vigor. 1
Since 1848, three new rail mills have been started !
in this Slate, viz; at Scranton, Johnstown and New.
c.istlf, with an »ggreg?ito annual productive capaci
ty of 44,000 tons. Others have sprung up in Ohio,
and Virginia, besides others in dtfilrvnt sec
ttons that have extended their operation**. There
are now in successful operation in ibis Union, 18
Mil mill**, with «n aggregate productive capacity
of 21fi,0U(J too* annually. Ten of these are in (hi*
Slate, two m io Now Jersey, New
Fork, Ma&iachuseibsOhln and Maryland—one each.
These mills employ 20,000 ujeo and a capital Q f
$1 2,000,000.
trnin this Ntatement, al first night, it wwild seem
that the domestic manufacture has diminished since
1843 by reason of the increase of import*. Bui it
must be remembered that the demaad Jbr,iron lias
greatly increased al**o, qnd liwl it is that
about ouc-liair the incroaae of importation is in val
ue, not ip quantity. .The homo manufacture owes
if* prosperity nm «o much to the present low tariff
prelection, as to an unexpected riue in the yajuc of

Senator Atoliison on Kamai.
Senator Atchison, on leaving home for
Washington, made a speech, the purpose of
which may be gathered from an extract:
Gen. Atchison said that his mission here
to-duy was, if possible, to" awaken the peo
ple of this country tqthe danger ahead, and m
suggest the menns (Jo avoid it. The people
of Kansas in their first election would decide
the question, whether or not the slave-holder
was to he excluded, and it depended upon a
majority of the voles cast at the polls- Now
if a set of fanatics and demagogues, a thou
sand miles off, could afford to advance (heir
money, and exert every nerve to abolition
ize the Territory una exclude Ibe slave
holder, when they have not the least personal
interest, what is your duty I When you re
side within a dii y's journey of the Territory,
and when yovr peace, your quiet, and your
property depend upon your-action, you can
without an exertion, send fice hundred of
your young men who will vole in favor of
your institutions.
Should each county in the State of Miss,
ouri only do its tiu'y, the question will be de
cided quit-ilv and peaceably at the bulbil box.
(f wo arc defeated, then Missouri and the oth
er Southern Slates.will have shown themselves
recreant to their interests and Will deserve
their fate. The Abolitionists will have noth
ing to gain or io.se. It is no abstraction with
them. We have much lo gain and much to
lose.
Said ho, if you hum yny barn I sustain a
gron! loss, but you gain nothing. So il is
with the Colonization Societies, nnd ihn
(lopes they send here lo nlinlitionize Kansas.
If these Abolitionists steal all tour negroes,
they train mulling. The negroes are in
jmed ; you are ruined. So much ibe grea
iit is the motive (or activity on your part.
Fdlow citizens, we should not he npmhciic
"hen so much is involved., Wo should ho
up and doing. He was for meeting organ
ization «ilb drgmiizalion. He was for ntee|.
[ ing those philanthropic knaves peaceably
«l the hnllot'box mid out-voting them.
If, toe cannot tin this, it is an omen that
i the institution of Slavery is to fall in this
and the other Southern Stales ; but it would
fall after much strife, civil war and blood
shed. ‘
If üboli'nuisin, under jts present auspices,
is established m Kansas, ihrrH will be con
.s'iiiii si rile oud bhindshed between Kansas
and Missouri. Negro steeling will be n
prio- iple mid n vocation. It will he the pol
io) of philanthropic Jennacs until they force
the slmeholdtr lo abandon Missouri—n»r
will it be long until it is done. You cnnuoi
watch your smith's in prevent thieves Crum
stealing your horses and mules; neither cun
ton watch your negro quarters ID prevent
your neighbors from seducing away nod
stealing your negroes.
IfKin-as is nhiilitionized, all .men who
love pence iiud quiet will leave us, mid ull
emigration to Missouri front ihe slave Stutejt
will cease.
In a hybrid stale tva cannot lire; we can
not he in n coiisinni quarrel—in a nonstnni
state of suspicion of our neighbors. The
feeling is entertained by a large portion of
every where.
Yet he said he wns willing, notwithstan
ding his pacific views, to hung negro thieves;
(to.would not punish those who merely enter
lamed ahsiracl opinions ; hut negro thieves,
and persons who stirred up insubordination
and insurrection among our slaves, he be
lieved it right (o punish, and they eotild nut
he punished too sevyely ; he would ilm pim.
i-h a matt who believed tbal a rape, murder
or (iin-env was abstractly right ; vet he Would

Hesaid tbal there were t\ (iw men who

When the indictments were read to her, one
after another, she replied with the utmost

the Court thought best to let her go at that;
they did not calf any witness on the few re

Anqiher was a widow woman who had

was a woman and u widow, perhaps they
ought to let her off easy. Others said, No ;
if she herself can so fur forget what becomes

manifest a most commendable determination
to see the law fully and fairly executed. If
we stand by the law without fear or favor,
and see that it dors its perfect work, the law
will stand by us. If wc wink at the
iniquity in some places, and try to crush ir
out in others, the law will soon come into
contempt, or its friends and supporters will ;
and the effect will soon be a general revolt
against its most righteous provisions. We
shad regard with the greatest alarm any man
ifestation of fear to execute the law against
any class of offenders, high or low, rich nr
poor, male or female. 1 here the law stands.
It is itself due warning in all. H>- or she
that offends does it knowingly. And if the
law is to commatid univeiMtl respect it ought
tobefaithfiilly executed in every case. They
have, seemed determined it shall be in New-
Havcn.

for no'htng, because he could not get what he
wanted wuh it I”
A large liquor-dealer had been in the busi
ness sixteen years. “He hod always done
well enough until this abominable Maine Law
went into operation. Since that he had not
paid expenses."
A hotel-keeper complained— «-e had spoiled
Ins stand. It tins not worth so much by
thousands of dollars as it was before this law
went into opera'ion. But he did mil cure for
that, fle only thought of the dreadful moral
effect 'his law was going to lime. Ii would
produce a great "mount of “ domestic"
dimikennegs ; everybody would gel liquor ;
carry it home, and drink there, anil the fam
ily would have all the, misery ul it. How
I'lllfut some liquor-seders have become of
lute. Wonder what sort,of a lime the fam
ilies of that rum-seller's customers had before
our law went into operation i -Wonder if
there wns no domestic drunkenness then !
-A siiloop-keeper says, “ Tins cursed law
has cut "(T mv income $3OO in the fast three
mouths. Every evening there were troops
of young men in my shop. Tftev wan'd

cigar;'and fcy the time they had smoked
half a cigar thev winded another glass of

Alas 1 alas 1 we hopn he will long be so,
before these customers return to spend their
money for that which is so verv far from

justly estimated that two thirds of the slaves
that escape from their masters are transpor
ted through the agency of slave dealers to
the South. Let the loser of slave properly
examine the negro pens of the Stale ami

orlooking towards Canada. Now 1 here
fearlessly charge that any man, or set of

fession, will not hesitate from conscientious
