' ' FOUR GREAT MEN. - It is a remarkable fact, that the career of four o.' the mo.it renowned characters that ever lived, dosed with some mournful and violent death. Alexander, "lifter having climbed the dizzy heights of ambition, and with his temples bound, with thaplets dipped in the blood of countless nations, lloked,down upon a conquered world, and wept ithat there was not another for him to conquer, set a city on firi and died in a scene of debauch. , ' ' Hannibal, af er ha ing, to the astonishment and consternation of Rome, juisscd the Alps ; after having pu: Ij flight the armies of the. world, and stripped three hushcLi ofgold rings from the fin gers of her slaughtered knights, and made her very foundations quake fled from his country, being chased by one of those who once exultiagly united his name to that of God, and, called him Ilenniba! died at last by poison, administered with his cwn hand unlamcntcd and unwept, in a foreign land. . Ca?sar after having conquered eight hundred cities, and dyed clothes- in the blood of one. mil lion of his foes; after having pursued to death the only rival he had on earth ; was miserably assassinated : by 'those he considered his nearest friends, and, in that very place, the; attainment of which had beea his greatest ambition. -Bonaparte, 'whose mandate kings, and cmperorf obeyed, after having filled the earth with the ter ror of his name, deluged it with blood and cloth d the world with sackcloth, closed his days in lonely banishment ; almost literally exiled from the world, except where he could sometimes see his country's banmr waving over the deep, but which could not or would not bring him aid. .Thus four men, who, from the peculiar situa tion of their portraits, scm to stand as the rep resentatives I of all those whom the world called great those four who each in turn, made the earth tremble to iu very center by their simple tread, severally died one by intoxication, or as some suppose, by ioisoii mingled .in wine one a suicide ona murdered -by his friends and oae in lonely exile. Republican. Abolition Practice vs. .Abolition Pre- cett. The; Chicago Timr$ sav that a large wholesale house in that city lately sent an agent into 'Missouri to look-into tho circumstances of one of their debtors. Tho agent went, an 1 short- ly reported that the debtor had nothing of value except a couple of negro children. His employ ers ware Rlack Republicans every man in their hou:e was Republicans yet they wrote back to levy on the itegro children, and hold them for the debt. Tlis( was done, but without effect, for the distressed debtor could not raise the funds. This Republican firm then wrote to have. the children sold to pay. .a debt of SGOO. It was done, and these Worse specimens of humanity than all the Legares that could be coined by the vivid imagi nation of the abolition Mrs. Stowe, received their dues.- ? . . . Pennsylvania Erect. The indications from Pennsylvania arc highly cheering to every Democratic heart . The Dcnncracy of no State has been more rent by contending factions; none at the present moment, seem more united, harmo nious, and hopcfuL At the recent Democratic State Convention, Lccompton and anti-Lccoinpton were buried in "the tomb of the Capulcts," and Rigler and Montgomery, with their several fictions struck hands over the dead bodies. . " The omens cfsucess in the coming campaign" are all on our side. Connecticut is coming with her gallant Tom Seymour, and Pennsylvania is safe under the lead of Gen. Foster. When the Keystone is sound, the Union is safe. A lady describing an ill-natured man, says "he never emnes put nc ieeis a named ot it SPEECH OF SENATOR DOUGLAS IN I ItEPLY TO MIL SEW AUD. Mr. Dough?, (dcta.) of 111., said the rcnurk?j of the Senator from New York contained an ai-: pauit upoil the democratic party, especially in re-; lation to jjbc Ktnsns-Nebraska bill o which (Mr. Dougbs) was tJie. author. . ... . i " . It becomes fashionable, said he, now for e$ch gcnflcrnr.n jwho makes a speech against the detnej cratic party to refer to Kansas as the cause of a,j the disturbances" which have since ensued. Tht Senator from 'New York talks about that act-rt- opening the controversy, and about the reieal the Missouri cotirpfcmisc. Sir, wherein con-'sU'l to extend it to the Pacific Ocean, to aividc by it foreTer, and the entire South, without one eicep. tion in this body, was willing thus to abide by it. Sir, the free soil clement of, the Northern State? was so strong as to defeat that measure, and thus opened the: slavery question anew. Those men who now complain of thc-aprogation of that act were the very men that denounced it. . All were willing to abide by it so lodges it stood upon the statute books, and we Were trying to carry it cut. Sir, it was the defeat of the bill to extend the Missouri compromise to the Pacific in the House cf Representatives, after it passed the Semite, that opened the controversy of 180, which was terminated in the establishment of the measure of that year. ;Thc compromise measures of that year were carried over the heads of the Senator from New Voik and his associates but in 1S52 the Senator's party agreed to abide by the mea sures of LS0. In ISot the Kansas-Nebraska act was pas-ed to carry out the principles of these measures.' He was not "willing to Fit still and hear himself charged with responsibility for the agitation which belonged to the Senator mi I his associates. The present agitation resulted from the re-ustanec of that party to the measures ap proved by the people iu two Presidential elections. Rut the Senator from New York went further, and his doctrine was that the Declaration of Inde pendence assorted the equality of the negro race, and therefore all laws iu violation of that idea were not to be observed. For himself, he thought four years ago tho Senator . declared . that the Declaration of Independence intended to recog nize the negro and white man as tquals under the Divine law, and hence that all provisions uf the constitution of" the United States vhiclv rcj-uj.clz,- i ed slavery were in violation of the Ivmc law In other words, it was an argument agaimt tho constitution of the United States en the ground that it was 'contrary- to the law of God. The Senator from! New York had long held that doc trine, and proclailued it in a speech which he made iu Ohio in 1848, that the constitution of the United States was in violatioirof Divine law, and therefore, not to be obeyed. Dhas been the doc trine of the Senator for four years, and he had not heard it, in the Senate to-day for the first time. He had met it in his own State lor the hut ten years. . The Seuator from New York says, in this very speech, New York is yet a slave State, not that she has a slave within, her limits, but because the constitution of New -York did not allow a negro to vote on equality with white men. For that reason New York, he said, was still a slave State, nad for tliat reason every other Slate that discriminated between the negro and the white man wa o slave State. 'Notwithstanding that the Senator, with the leadinjr men' of his party, was comunttcJ to these doctrines, he argued that their tendency wrs iu favor of the. equality of the white man. t lie dciired to sec the gentlemen carry out their principles to their logical conc!asiou. If they per sisted in the declaration that the negro is rar.de the equal of the while man, then lot thcra carry out their doctrine by, conferring upon tbein till the rights of citizenship exercised by white men. Tor himself, he thought the Declaration of Independence only referred to the .white race If the Senator lmdcorectly inter preted that" instrument the signer. shonM have immediately- emancipated their slave?, but thev did not do so. lie thought this government u-av made by white m?u an l for the benefit of white men. ; Mr. Poolittlo (rep) of Wis., asked why not, then, give the Territories to white men?- Mr. Douglas replied that would throw them open to white men ami negroes too ; but he wanted white to organize them. If they wanted slavery let them have it. It, was their bujiuc.-s, and not hia. It was a qucitioa of political economy and self interest. The Senator from New York coined a new definition of "labor States" and '-capital States." It took lain a good many years to coin those term? and bring-, them into nse. Something had occurcd up in New Hug land to induce him to bring out thcjc term and take sides with a most numerous class of voters. Sirikcs had occurred at the North uiuong atarring workmen, because the doctrine of the irrepressible conflict ' had driven otf (Southern business. The Senator had nought to place himself on the sida ofth shoemakers. The workia jmeu knew this very well, and they also knew why so many Southern orders were not rccciv- td as formerly. , Mr. Clark, (rep.) of N. II., said he came from a maaufucturicg town of 3)00opcratives, but l uilucss was never better there than now, and the workmen were percr better conUmtcd. i , Mr. Douglas replied that there was no other cause for the strike at Lynn "and other places than the withdrawal of the Southern trade. The strike result ed from the general prevalence of the same feeling which induced the Senator from Virginia to appear in homespnn.; He (Mr. Douglas) was satisfied with the application of popular sovereignty, " both in New Mexico and Kansas one instituted slavery "and the other excladcd it. He was satisfied with both, lie would not vote for the "repeal of the slave code in New Mexico or force slavery on Kansas. Why did not the republican party start to carry out their prin ciples? Why do they not bring in bills to abolish those atwin rclic3 of barbarism slavery and po lygamy?" The Senator from New York said they lhad no measures to propose. What, then became of their pledges ? They were afraid to make the attempt to arry out tEeir measure, as they did not want to drive off the conservative men until after the election. In the event of the Stnalor from New York being elected President, let et see what he proposes. - In a speech made in Ohio he said, " slavery can be limited to iti treicnt boundaries it can be ameliorated it - j - - cart and must be abolished aai joa ted Ixaustdo ft; 'UithrJTit feaih. cvowalj aj this the abolition wing "oftSe 'party could not be retained. Bat they .aay that they propose to do it all under the constitu tion- tUat they will carry out the constitution, ex cept that part which is not oonformnblc to tile law of 'Clod, andthcy deside the question what is the law of God. " If the constitution were violative of the la,w .of God, he did hot sec how,! in conscience, they could take' the oath to support it, when the Senator evo;e, Ht j 5i devoted a third of his speech to a very beautiful on the glories of ourxrccctituticn. All tkithfc H &f that any' other 'raaa 5,i.',"t;cutii.!3' lorious Union, I fully cr.ore. ' 1 c.iu'.4.i"I sry ! the Union is glorious only wbeu the constit.utioa is preserved inviolate. ' I go for, the Union ; but still, that is the Union worth unless the constitution is prccrvccl and maintained inviolate in nil of its provi sio:i3 ? Sir, I have no 'faith iu the Union loving senti ments of tho ;e who will not carrv oat the constitution ia good faith as our fathers made it. Professions of fidelty to the Union will be taken for aaught unless they re accompanied with obedience to the constitu tion upon which the Union rests. Then I. am readv to insist that the constitution bhall be maintained in .violate in all its parts, not only that which suits the temper of the North, but eyery ciause of that consti tution, whether they like or dL4ifci? it. The constitu tion binds you to every Hue, word and syllabic of it, and you have no right to say that if it io iu violation of Deviae law you will not observe it, and whoever crades any one principle upon this pretext violates Jus oath. Then cf what consequence ij this pretext, that itis in violation of Divine law? If yo?S believe that instrument to be ia violation of the laws of Clod, how can your conscienceatlcw you to take the oath of office? If the Senator from Now York still hoMi to the decla ration, thnl the' clause' of the coatilutlon relative to fugitive slaves ii in violation of Divine law : how ecu he, r.s an honest mm, take sii oath to support that in strument? Thus we sec the radical difference between the republican party and the democracy. Ve stand bv the constitution as our fathers made it. end bv the decisions of the constituted huthorities. as prououue ed iu obedience to the constitution. They repudiate the instrument, fubiitute their own rail for that of he constituted authorities, und then say we will pro tect all the rights under the constitution, ss expound ed by themselves and not as expounded by the tribu nals created for that purpose. Mr. President, I shall not occupy further time ia the discussion of this ques tion. I did not intend to utter a word. I should no have uttered a word upon the subject if the Senator i from New York had not made thatbrond arraignment of the. democratic party, and especially that portion ot it action f.r which I am n.fre ituaiediatiij rc-po::ii- i. . - i. .. j...t. ;..t UTlftJU SS" helped to carry through the Kansas-Nebraska bill, and I have heard bad faith attributed to the democratic party too long to remain silcut and seem to enac tion it.
