' 'Z la the speeeh . delivered by . Judge Xnuglaf at MOwaukie, we find the following account of the last interview, between him and the President. It ia decidedly rich. . ' f ' "When I reached "Washington, three- days be fore the meeting of Congress, I went directly to the President and bad a talk with him upon this subject, in which I Informed him as a mend, not to send the Constitution into Congress for accep tance. I told him it was a ' vioiatiun of every nledtw we had made to the people; a violation of the fundame4tal . principles of all parties ia all Republican governments ; because it was an at tempt to force a Constitution on an - on willing people, - '.- : " ' I -f lie begged) me not' to say anything upon the subject, unuiwe snouia near tne news as to now the vote stood on the slavery clause. The vote you remember, was to be taken on the 21s of De cember, three or four weeks subsequent to this Convention, i , I told the President that if he would withhold his Noommeadation until the vote was taken on that clause, Ii would withhold my speech against the measure, f He said that he roust recommend it a his message; and -1 replied that, If e aid, X would denounce it the moment his message was read. (Great apnlauee. A voice we like you for it.) At last tne rresideat Decameeomewhat ex cited upon " the subject, i (Laughter.) And be rose and, said tome: "Mr; Douglas, I desire you to remember that no Democrat ever- yet differed from an administration of his own choice, without being crushed." ("Ah V and laughter.) Then he added: "Beware of the fata of Tallmadge and Bivea." .1 arose and said : "Mr. President, I wish you to remember that Gen. Jacksoa ia dead, sir.' (Tumultuous cheering.) From that day to this, he and I have! been trying the question whether Gen. Jacksoa is dead. (Great laughter and ap plause ) 'And one thing ia certain the people of Illinois decided in 1858, uat James Buchanan was not General Jackson."

"That's so;" "they can't do it;" -never you are too much of a giant," and applause. : ' During the Lecompton struggle, when the war in Congress was raging furiously, I had one inter view with Gen.

It took flace in the presence of a gentleman whose name will give without consulting him, Mr. Calf houn being dead, I can only refer to this one wib ness, and although he is not present, and I have not inquired of him as to bis recollection of the interview, I will undertake to state to you "sub stantially what occurred on'this point, " Mr. Weir, then United States District Attorney . In Kansas, holding office under Mr. Buchanan, came to my house one night with Gen'. Calhoun', the President of the Lecompton Convention.. I received Mr; Calhoun courteously and kindly, as we had beeq old friends; he expressed his regret at the differ ences which had crown up between us on this Question: he assured me upon his honor that he had done everything ia his power to procure the admission of the whole Constitution, because he knew that it was my desire, and also the wish of all his friends, and because he thought it was fail? and just. - '- - t ' Having failed in accomplishing it, the question arose as to what was the next best thing,' and that he had agreed to the schedule ia the form in which it was adopted, believing it to be so. 1 told him I thought it ' was the worst thing. A voice, "That's so." He said he regretted it; that he had hopes that I would deem that better than nothing. Laughter. I told him never; that a fraudulent submission was a mockery, and that I could not sanction it without repudiating all the acta of my life and ' doing a political act that I did not be lieve was moral and just. . Cheers I ' appeal to Mr. Weir, of Kansas, or rather I refer you to him aa to hia recollection of that interview, if you choose to consult bim.' - In that conversation with Mr. Calhoun he never intimated that he received a letter from me oa that subject, or any authority, directly or indirectly, but admitted that be knew that I wanted the whole Constitution sub mitted, .that he tried Jo have it subx itted, and when be failed, on hia own responsibility went for the other proposition as the best he could get, and hoped I would not be dissatisfied with It; there upon Gen. Calhoun and myself parted; ' 1 1 never saw bim afterwards. . He is dead and Tar be ' it from me to utter one word against his memory. I think he made a great and fearful mistake ia hia Kansas movements, and I so tald in his j pres ence and to his face, and in the Senate of the Uni ted States in his lifetime,' .'Since he is dead, peace to hia ashes; it is not to my taste to indulge in criminations. The Abolition paper in which I found this pretended correspondence contained an editorial article in which it charged that " I had offered Mrs. Calhoun .two thousand .dollars to tuppress my correspondence with her husband while he was surveyor General , of Kansas. Laughter. In thia pretended correspondence the charge w made that Mrs. Calhoun had hawk ed these letters about ia. the market for sale, and that two thousand doilara had been offered ' for them, and on that statement the Abolition paper bases its. charge that I or my friends had made her that offer. . I shall notice this'only to vindi.; cate the character of that a idowed lady. , i . I never insulted M s.

Hays bad a ball that he was In the habit of riding to mill with his bag of -corn, and he determined to enter him for the race.' He said nothing about it to any one, but he rode him around the track a number of times, on several moonlight nights,! until the bull had the bang of the ground pretty well and would keep the right course. He rode with spurs, which the bull considered particularly disagreea ble, so much so that he always bellowed when they were applied to hia aides. X : - "i -On the morning of the race, Hays came upon the r round on horse back on his bull. Instead of a saddle, he bad dried an ox-hide, the head part of which, with the horns still on, he had placed on the bull's rump. He carried a short tin horn in his band. He. rode to the judge's stand, and offered to enter his bull for the race ; but the owners of the horses objected: Hays' appealed to the terms of the notice, insisting that his bull had 'four legs and hair on,' and that therefore he had a right to enter him: - Alter a good deal of swear ing, the judges declared themselves compelled to decide that the bull had the right to run, and he was entered accordingly. ; : "When the time for starting arrived, the . bull aod the horses took their places, i The horse-riders Were out of humor at being bothered with the bull and at the burlesque which they supposed was in tended, but thought that it would be over aa soon as the horses started. : v' y:'t -When the signal was given, they did start.

The horses all flew the track; every one seeming to be seized with a sudden determination to take the Bhortest cut to get out of .the Redstone coun- try, and none ot them eouid ne orougnt oaea in time to save their distance.. The purse was givn to Hays. . , ' " ; j "r: : -A general row ensued; but the fun of the thing put the crowd all on the side ot the bull. .The horsemen contended that they were swindled; out of the purse; and, if it had not been for Hays' horn and ox-bide, which he ought not to have been permitted to bring upon the , ground, the thing would not have turned out as it did. -'' -Upon thia Fays told them that his bull could beat any of their horses any how, and if they would Eat up one hundred against the purse he had won, e would take off the ox-bide and leave the tin horn, and run a fair . race with them. His offer was accepted and the money staked. They again took their places at the starting post, and the sig nal was given. Hays gave the bull another touch with his spur, and he gave a tremendous bellow. The horses, remembering the dreadful sound, thought all the rest was coming as before. Away they went again in spite of all the exertions of their riders, while Hays galloped his bull around the track again and won the money." . - Bully for the Bull!
