Some cf our Democratic cofecperartes are
just now ia. a Lad fix. TLey don"i kn-w exactly
whit position to take in the cue of "The Lit

they thor-tt thai Jlr. Poc-Us would fall to

portion of them did cot hesitate to denounce
him and bis aiders ui abettors in the -anti-Lecomptcn
heresy" ia unoeas-.-ed terms,
whilst others wriggled and twisted arosnd and
about the matter catil the result cf the elec
tion should be known. Since ties, the litter
clisa have expressed their decided preference
for him ; the former, however, are now in a
highly interesting state of nneertiiiity, and,
presume, lite "iciwber, will "wi!t for
something to turn cpT to relieve them from
their present embarrassing situation, lathe
sieautitse they will doubtless try to cultivate
mere amiable feelings towards Mr-Douglas ;
ia CiCt, they go so far as to think bo deserves
credit for the vigorous mincer ia which he
fongbt the Kepubllcaa;, though they at the
ease time regret that he damaged the Admin
istration infinitely more. Ia this way they at
tempt to plaster cp the sore spots and try to
coax him into the Administration fold. The
Baltimore RepubUe rather a paradoxical
name, we should say, for aa Administration
paper even p-resents the terms under which
it is willing he shall be reinstated and a-i:n
"ailiate" with ihe fsithfal." It says i
If he shall come back to the Senate and
tike his place is the racks of the Democracy,
act with hem i ood fiita and kir.Iiy Jeeiin:,
the past may Le obliterated, and the Littie
Giant' retrieve bis character and faliy atone
for any past errors. But if he shall be found
still warring upon the majority, and affiliating
with the enemies of Democracy, Lis claim to
be still recognized as a Democrat will hardly
be acknowledged by those whose fidelity has
never been doubted. We are content to await
the fatare and pais oar judgment cpoa its de
velopments." "VTe ire it a loss to know which to admire
most the extreme frigidity, or the astonish

and we shall watch with interest the devel

or whether it raay not so happen that the

The Washington L'ion qaotes from a speech.
delivered by Hon. Henry S. Foote, ia Mem
phis, to show that there is a scheme a the
part of certain politicians who call themselves
the "True Democracy," to break op the Dera- :
ocratic party. The grand assault is to be
made open the Charleston Presidential nom
inating Convection. . Gen. Foote says :
In the first place, it will be impossible for
the Democratic convention expected to assem
ble in Charleston to agree, either upon a plat
form or candidate,or at any rate co such agree
ment is probable, except "through the employ
ment of concentrating agencies of the Liost
corrupt and disgraceful character.
-The Docglasites ia thai body will be con
strained by every honorable and patriot ie con
sideration to claim aa insertion ia the platform
of the party of a resolution plainly and emphat
ically assertive of the great principle for which
their illustrious leader is now so fearlessly and
eloquently contending. The anti-Democratic
candidates of that body,wbo believe that a csn
stitntioa can be made operative among a free
people ia opposition to their own will, will of
coarse contend for aa insertion of a resolu
tion in the platform of the party declarative
cf the:r own news.
'Whether the Charleston platform will en
dorse the Leccmp.ton bill thns denying the
propriety of referrisg the constitution to the
people of Kansas for approval or rejection or
upholding the English bill, which in a certain
shabby and engecteel manner did in point 1
fact submit this same constitution is a ques
tion not easy to be settled. One thing is most
certain the Charleston Convention will not
prove a harmonises body ; discord mast inev
itably prevail. No agreement as to the candi
date fvr the Presidency is even possible, ex
cept ty the free use of money as 1 the Lmsa
employ meat of federal pauonage."
Gee. Foote then proceeds to predict move
ments aniocg the people that will overthrow
the present organization cf the Democratic
party. lie portrays great chimeras which he
assures us are to be overthrown. He Las
helped himself to prepare the means :
Federal influence will be restrained within
the limit!, of the Constitution. The myrmi
dons of caucus will be driven into retirement,
the panderers of corruption wiil oe no longer
allowed to infest the high places of the nation ;
and the fawning sycophantic slaves of lordly,
imperial managers will 2nd themselves efiect
uately deprived of the power to do mischief.
Some may suppose this to be the language of
extravagance, bet indeed it is not, I speak of
ir4J knoir veil. I refer to proceedings with
which I stand more or les identified ; I pro
phecy results the means of achieving which I
verily believe to have been alrealy secured."

A COJOtOTT SETSE SPEECH.
One of the most re&arkable public speeches
of the day, was that delivered on the 26th Oct.
by Senator Hamntood, of South Carolina, at
Barnwell in thai State, cpoa the present and
probable fatare relations of parties, as affected
by the Kansas question, and the qaestioa ot
slavery at large. The Senator utters some
pretty plain truths, considering that be was
addressing a South Carolina auditory truths
that must, to some extent, undo the popular
(Northern) impression, that to be a public man
in South Carolina necessarily involves a belief
in the principles of nullification and disunion.
The Senator commences with a hard kick at
that darling measure of the Administration,
the Kansas-Nebraska Bill, which, he tells us,
coctaiaed two peculiarly objectionable fea
tures first, that it re-enacted a principle as
old and aa firmly settled as the constitution it
self "weakened the whole structure of cur
government by digging np. for the purpose of
verification, its founda::on ;" and, second, the
repeal of the Missouri Compromise ; adding,
that this "till, iaguitied and exaggerated by
orators and newspapers into a great Southern
vicU-ry, led the South into the delnsion that
Kansas might be cude a Slave State, and in
duced it ta jo;a in a false and espies issoe,
which has kept the whole country in tcrmoil
for the last four years, and gave fresh life and
vigor to the abolition party."
The Lecompton Constitution is next hand
led without gloves. Mr. Hammond, on this
point, is peculiarly emphatic, and in speaking
of it he uses pretty plain English. He thinks
tie Sotker Sltmbtrt cx;lJ to hare kicked ii out
of Consrtt.
In regard to the admission of Kansas as a
State, the Senator says be is in favor of let
ting ber into the Union when she has the re
quisite population but not before. And then,
as to the dream of Southern politicians and
usthera sutesmea.that it is -ossible to main
tain an equilibrium of power in the Federal
Government, with the Free States, Mr. Ham
mond talks as if he hsd fur it but very little
respect. He thinks tbe possibility of recover
ing the political power which the Slave States
have lost both in the Senate and House of
Representatives is, to say the least of it,
-remote ;" wbil: the notion of increasing the
populatiun of the South by the re-opening of
tiie lave Trade, he tells h:s friends must be
abandoned the Southern States themselves
being divided on that policy, and the Northern
States unanimously opposed to it.
The Senator rw-xt proceeds to show that
there is, in fact, eo available territory left, on
this continent, from which new Slave States
could be advantageocsir carved. He is also
opposed to medling wirh Cuba, which Mr. Cal
houn called "forbidden truit," and from the
matured opinions of that statesman, "whether
on Constitutional principles or S'-cthein
policy." Mr. Hsnmond thinks "it will rarely
be found safe to depart." The acquisition of
thii iilaad, Le thicks, would eventually
weaken, not strengthen, the Slave States. In
regard to secession from the Union. Le thinks
a d.y possibly may come when the Soutli wiil
hive to lock that contingency full in the face ;
but that time is not yet.
In conclusion the Senator counsels the cul
tivation of a friendly understanding with the
people of the Free States. Here all conserva
tive men of ths North are ready totaevt him.
Let the South ceae its aggressions, and the
North will cease to agitate. We are not dis
posed to wage war upon Slavery as it exists
coder the Constitution. While it keeeps with
in its prescribed limits it should not and wiil
cot so far as we are eoncernvd be molested.
But when the Slave Power encroaches, the
mass of the people of the free North will re
sist it. as it ha been resisted in the infamous
attempt to put the yoke of Slavery upon the
necks of the free citizens of Kansas. Tel.
Extessive Issce or Boers Bills. Wall
Mtrtei and A Wet'erm StaJtt Flooded Some
Wall-street brokers, either designedly or oth
erwise, have been doing a pretty extensive bu
siness with pretended issues of a Maine bank.
The bills they are all of the denomination
ten and twenties bear the impress "New
England Bank," and purport to be issues of a
bank bearing this name located at Fairmouct
in the State of Maine. There is such a town
as Fairmount in Maine, but no such banking
institution there as that named. The issues
are al! bogus, and got up in the most approv
ed style of deception. A firm ot Wall-street
ncte-er.gravers is reported to have executed
the engraving part ot the job, and the amount
of bills put ia the market is said to be -
000. Of this large sum the bulk bas been ta
ken into the Western States, and $-XOju is
said to Lave been fonnd among the Wall-street
brokers in exchange for stocks. Thejbills are
capitally executed, and have been reaiilv ta

T tig 5 EL THROUGH THE ALP 3.
The giant undertaking of tunneling Mount
Cenis, one of the highest mountains of the
Alps between Switzerland and Piedmont, pro
gresses slowly. The difficulties of the enter
prise consist not so much in the length of the
subterranean communication which is to be
effected, as in the impossibility of taking the
work ia hand at more thin two points, and of
getting the necessary supplies of air, at a dis-
isnceof 10,750 feet from either end of the !
tunnel. All the other tnnnels, which hare
been built, are connected with the surface by
a series of shafts, which being sank in dis
tance of at most 1000 feet, do not only multi
ply the point of attack, but facilitate and in
sure also the necessary circulation of tbe air,
and the emulation of the workmen. This ex
pedient cannot be made use of at the Mount
Cenis Toaael, for the shafts would have to be
driven to a depth of 3000 feet to reach the
bottom, and the auxiliary works would Lave
to be almost more gigantic than the principal
structure. Shafts of that depth have net yet
been sunk in rock ia any other locality let
alone the regions of eternal snow. Undr
these circumstances the tunnel is only worked
from the two extremities ; but though angnrs
of a new invention enable them to drill blast
ing bores cf quite a considerable d-pth, ia
which the powder is fired by electrical sparks,
it has not been possible to complete more
than 25 to 20 feet p-er month, even under the
most favorable circumstances. At this nte
it will take fiity years to finish the work even
without considering that the diSScuItics in
crease with every step it aivinces, as the se-cess-iry
supplies of air, provisions, tools and
workmen will at last have to be forwarded o
ver a distance cf 13,000 Icet from the en
