Judge Douglas’ Letter.
This document, which places the lit
tle giant with both feet on the demo
cratic. platform, and invites the party
to jump on and take a position beside
him, will be read with interest by all
parties’ He says in effect to the party
“Support me, or cease to be democrats.”
We have no great love for Douglas,
but the daily developing indications are
that he is the only democrat that can
he elected President of the United

John Kiioi’i Prophecy.
John Knox, the Scotch reformer re
ceived the news of the massacre ol »
Bartholomew when on his death (
and prayed that no French king fc
ever have a son to sit on the «a.rone.
(See M’Crie's Life of Knox.) Has any
French king since that time had a d.
xectheir?
John Knox was a great fanatic, per
haps a great man, but too violent a pol
itician to be much favored with the
spirit of prophecy. Os the five French
kings who after Henry the Third sat,
previous to the Revolution, on the
throne of France, each with the excep
tion of Henry the Fourth, was “direct
heir” to his predecessor, and two were
Succeeded by their sons. The judge
ment for the massacre of St. Bartholo
mew, if there is earthly retribution for
such crimes, fell on the family which
perpetrated it, and the line of Valois be
came extinct with tho Third Henry.
The son of Louis Philippe may yet,in the
many and strange changes which take
place in the Government of France, sit
©n its throne.

What a Country Clergyman, who
has Two Ears ior Music, Thinks of the
Opera.—The editor of the Gospel Ban
ner, who is also an esteemed clergyman
in Maine, having recently visited the
opera at Boston, giTes his impressions as
follows:
“The music of the orchestra,and now
and then a strain of the singing, were
fine, but the performance, as a whole,
we thought a bore. Whiskered men
and painted women tricked out in plush
and tinsel, growling, and grunting, and
shrieking, and squalling, sometimes in
solo, and then in duet, and anon the
whole swarm, like so many ca's, gesti
culating, and menacing and embracing,
and frowning, and going through with
all sorts of antics, in a gibberish that
nobody can understand —that is the Ital
ian Opera as we heard and saw it. lo
og—and we profess not only to have an
ear but two ears for music—a quiet seat
on a mossy rock, near some pond full of
frogs, would have been quite as edifying
and nearly as musical.”

Desperate Attempt at Suicide. —A
house carpenter in Philadelphia, named
Murray, made a desperate attempt to
commit suicide last Saturday. Going
into a small shop in the rear of his
father’s house, with a reticule filled
with powder, and a lighted cigar in his
mouth, he called to his father to come
to him. When the father entered the
shop, the son said : “Well father, we
might as wellgo together," thrusting the
lighted end of the cigar into the powder
The immediately ran to the door, and
had just got outside ol the building
when an explosion took place, blowing
out the sash, breaking the glass, and
setting fire to the sdiop. The left thumb
of the man was blo*n off, but he sus
tained no further injury from the ex
plosion. The unfortunate man then
took a pocket knife, which he plunged
lepeatedly into his breast, but without
causing any very serious wounds. Not
yet content with these efforts to destroy
himself, Murray procured a sharp chis
el , with which he inflicted a severe cut
upon his left arm before he could be se
cured The injured man was taken to
the Pennsylvania Hospital. His injuries
are not dangerous. Grief for the loss
of a brother is the supposed cause for
this attempt to die.

A Primes In Mississippi.
The following letter, dated Artesian
Spring, Miss., June Bth appears in the
Galveston News of the 14th instant :
I have this morning returned from a
visit to Mr. Smith's plantation, near
Canton, Mississippi. He lias 10 of the
real, bona fide Africans ; all young and
, likely. They look like our negroes—
work well—plant corn, hoe cottou, &c.
1 Two of them can do as much work as
1 an American negro, and Pompey, one
more intelligent than the rest, can do
as much now' as an ordinary field hand.
They are teaming to speak ourlanguagc.
i’ompey converses very well. They are
not wild, but on the contrary, very (10,
, die and good servants.
They have been in America some lour
or five mouths. They have the brands
and marks of the tribe from which they
came. Their front teeth are tiled, anu
when they laugh, present a novel ap
. pearance. They have modei feet. The
prettiest shaped foot I have ever seen,
is that of a hoy some 18 or 19 years
1 old He is perfectly black, and nigger
to the back bono, but with beautiful
feet and hands. They are contented.
One of them, with a peculiar shaped
head, is the subject of ridicule by the
others, they say his mother spoiled it
by patting him on the head when a ba
by.
They have a perfect horror of going
back where they came from—to Africa.
On being questioned as to where they
are from, &c., they say from Arkansas ;
others from Georgia, &c.
Mr. Smith has been offered SIO,OOO
for the lot, and refused.
The Dromios in California.—ln this
city there are at present two young gen
tlemen, twin brothers, who resemble
each other so closely (especially the old
est one) that the most minute observa
tion is necessary to detect or distinguish
one from the other. They are known
in the little circle of their own acquain
tance as Terry and Owen, and the many
mistakes that evoiy day occur to one of
them on the others account would tickle
the lisibles of a stoic. Ou one occasion,
some weesk ago,* one of the brothers
was walking up Commercial street, near
Kearny, about 12 o’clock at night, when
his neck was encircled by two strong
arms, in a manner that nearly took his
breath away, and caused him to shout
“Garroters” at the top of his voice. It
turned out, after a few mutual explana
tions, that the fair griseUe had mistaken
the unfortunate wight for his brother,
whom she loved to madness. But last
evening it was the other twin’s turn to
create merriment to an unlimited de
gree, in a fashionable saloon, next door
to the U. S. Branch Mint. It seems that
he had been in quest of his counterpart
the entire evening, and in the course of
his perambulations had visited all the
temples of Bacchus in tho city, and con
sequently had imbibed frequently. IJn
able to find the object of his search,
who, like Frank McLaughlin of yore,
had only left each place five minutes in
advance of his pursuer, he came down
to the Opera House, where he blistered
both his hands applauding Miss Avonia
Jones, and then left the theatre to pur
sue the chase of his fraternal relative.
Arriving at the Magnolia, he walked in
and called loudly for a glass of wine,
which was handed him ; but just as he
was about to put the goblet of nectar
to his lips, he caught sight of his re
flection in the mirror, behind the bar,
and mistaking his own form for that of
his brother, exclaimed : “Why, where
thed—l did did you come from; I’ve
been hunting you all night.”— San

A New Kind of Infernal Machine.
—The Columbus Journal is responsible
for the following :
A professional gentleman, living in
the southern part of the city, was the
victim, yesterday, of a most malignant
attempt of assassination. He had step
ped from his office on a business errand,
and on his return found several small
nuts lying upon the table, and, wonder
ing how they got there, took one and
placed it between his teeth for the pur
pose of cracking, when a loud explosion
ensued, lacerating and burning his
mouth in a shocking manner. Exam
ination showed the remaining nuts—fil
berts—to he charged with powder and
friction igniting material, calculated, if
exploded in the mouth, to blow a man’s
head off. The sufferer knows of no one
whom he would suspect of the dastard
ly act of placing the infernal machines
on his table.

Meteoric Humbug Exposed.—A dis
patch dated Oswego, N. Y., June 20,
says : “The accounts which are being
extensively published in the papers rel
ative to the falling of an immense me
teoric body, in the eastern part of this
county, are evidently destitute of foun
dation.”
The following is from the Buffalo
Courier :
" It turns out that the account of the
Meteoric Phenomenon which was report
ed by the Oswego Palladium to have oc
curred near that city, and which we
copied was a hoax, a “sell,” a fabrica
tion. The Palladium, of Saturday, con
fesses to have stulified itself, and en
deavors to construe its falsehoods as a
good joke. The public will be likely
to look upon the matter in a very dif
ferent light, and to know, hereafter,
how much confidence is to be placed in
any statement it may make.”
-
A Young Man Saved.—“Burleign,”
the New York correspondent of the
Boston Journal, relates the following
anecdote as illustrating the ease with
which a young man may be saved, as
well as ruined :
One of the leading brokers of New
York had a young man in his employ.
The vast amount of money in bis hands
was a great temptation to him. Small
sums were missed day after day ; one
lquavter, then fifty cents, then one dol
n lar i then two dollars, were missed. He
j was charged with the speculation. The
t uV tWfcd hinl h <> w he could detect
t the abstraction of the smallest sum from
his money : the young man stammered
and confessed. Sow, RaW the broker,
■ I shall not discharge, I shall not dishon
or you. I intend to keep you and make
a man of you. You will he a vagabond
’if you go along in this way ii ow j et
* me see no more of this He went to
' his work. He did not disappoint the
confidence. He did honor to his era
ployer. And the other day he was in
ducted into one of our banks in an hon
orable position, and his employer be
came his bondsman to the amount of
SIO,OOO. Had he conducted as some
would have done—sent the boy away
ind proclaimed his dishonor—perhaps
le would have ended his days at the
state prison, and leen sent to his tomb
in the garb of a convict. But one young
nan was rescued from ruiD. who had
neen placed amid the temptations of
money, and for a moment was over
come.
The Wrong Mao.
A day Or two since, a rather aged
man, in whose appearance there was
nothing striking, except his small sta
ture, dull, gray eyes, and extremely
verdant manner, arrived in this city,
: stopped at one of tho hotels, and seem
ed anxious to get off upon one of the
up-river boats. He frequently express
ed fear lest the afternoon boat should
i leave him. A cabman lounging about
i the hotel offered to take him and his
i trunk to the wharf, and if he was too
late he would bring him hack for noth
ing ; but if he took him there in time
! for the boat he would expect a fee of
$2. To this the stranger was about to
agree, not knowing that he had at least
two hours and a half to spare, when an
other cabman stepped up and offered to
put him aboard the boat, with his bag
gage, for sl. This was a dollar saved,
and the anxious stranger agreed to it.—
The trunk was put in the vehicle, and
the stranger got in with it. In less
chan five minutes they were upon the
wharf. The old gent got out and han
ded Jehu the dollar.
“What’s this ’ere dollar for ?” asked
tho driver.
“To pay my fare down here. You
promised to bring me here before the
boat left for one dollar.
“Y-e-s. Now, look here, old feller
—you don’t think I'm going to drive
my horse to death for nothin', do you ?
Couldn't think of takin’ less than four
dollars for that ’ere drive, aud you:
might as well fork over, old man.”
The old gentleman, apparently not
the least angry, fastened his dull, gray
eye upon Jehu, and calmly replied :
“I agreed to pay you one dollar if
you would bring me and my trunk to
the boat before it left; and there’s your
money. If I had promised you a hun
dred dollars, I would have given it to
you, for lam able to pay it. But a bar
gain is a bargain, anil I want you to
put my trunk out of your cab.’
“Give me the four dollars, or I takes
the trunk back to the hotel.” was the
cabman’s rejoinder.
The little old man quietly reached up
to the horse’s head, and took bold of
the bit firmly in his left hand. He then
put his right hand into his bosom and
drew forth a keen seven-inch bowie.—
He then turned to the somewhat aston
ished cabman, and giving the knife two
or three admonitory shakes, after the
manner of a schoolmaster warning a re
fractory pupil, he said;
“I’m an old man, and perhaps I’m
green, as I came from Arkansaw ; but I
guess I shan't let you impose on me in
that way. If you don’t get off that
seat and put my trunk out here, I shall
take both your cars off smooth up to
your head, sure ! You’re a good look
ing mau now, but you’d look mighty
bad drivin’ a cab about and no ears on
you head.”
Jehu rather thought those eyes meant
fight, and not liking the idea of losing:
both ears, he took that trunk out in a!
hurry. He refused, however, to take
the dollar which Arkansaw had thrown
down, and a couple of policemen were
about arresting him for extortion, when
the old gentleman requested them to
let the fellow go. “As for the dollar,
gentlemen,” said he, “if the cabman
won’t take it, why just you two go to I
the nearest grocery, and spend it for the i
public good.”
The old gentleman quietly put up his
“blade” and slipped aboard the boat.— ;

New York Day Book.
We find the following merited notice
of that staunch advocate of Southern j
Institutions —the New York Day 800k —,
in the Paublin.j (Miss.) Clarion :
We know of no northern journal so:
much entitled to southern support as;
the Day Book. It is already well known
in the South, but not so generally
known as its merits deserve. The Day
Book is the only journal In the North (
that openly defends the social institu-1
tions of the South, and this it has done'
with so much ability, and with such
true philosophy, as to receive the un
qualified commendation of all leading
southern men. Its principal editor, Dr.
Van Evrie, has studied the question of
races and their relations, with great
zeal, and bis position as surgeon in Gen.
Scott’s army during the Mexican war,
gave him splendid opportunities for ob
serving the fearful effects of the aboli
tion of slavery in that distracted coun
try. It is the honest, straightforward j
manner the Day Book has of dealing |
with public questions, and above all,
the trenchant blows it gives the Aboli- j
tion vipers on their own soil, that has
made it such a favorite at tho South.—
The Day Book , however, has had to en- j
counter every imaginable obstacle at
the North, and if its proprietors had
been governed by mercenary motives
its publication would have been aban
doned. The Day Book haS never had a
dollar of capital to establish it, hut has
had to rely entirely upon the indusityj
of its hardworking proprietors, and the
support its friends have voluntarily cx
tended to it. Steady perseverance,
however, has accomplished something,
and though the Day Book is not yet a
profitable establishment, on account of,
the very low rate at which the paper is I
furnished, it is able to prove to the ab
olitionists that it is not easily killed.—
As a business paper, the Weekly Day
Book has no superior, and no planter or
merchant can afford to do without it.—
Its commercial reports are worth double
the subscription price. Its Prospectus
will he found in another column, and
we advise our friends to assist in increas
ing its circulation, which will do great
good at the South, while its encourage
ment here, will strengthen the hands
of those who are fighting for our rights j
in the North. Let efforts be made at
every post office to get up a club for
this really valuable paper, which can be
read for one dollar per year in clubs of
five or more. The more people read
the better it will be for all newspapers. ;

of JudgeS. A. Douglas are in posses- .
sion of a copy of the following letter ,
explaining his position in regard to the ;
Presidency : >
Washington, June 22, 1850. *
My Dhar Sir I have received your
J I
letter inquiring whether my friends are
at liberty to present my name to the ,
Charleston Convention for the Presi
dential nomination. Before this ques- J
tion can be finally determined, it will «
be necessary to undeistand distinctly
upon what issues the canvass is to be | £
conducted. If, as I have full faith they j.
will, the democratic party shall deter-i<
mine in the Presidential election of 1
1860, to adhere to the principles embo- jj
died in the compromise measures of (
1850, and ratified by the people in the -
Presidential election of 1852, and re- 1
affirmed in the Kansas Nebraska act of 1
1854,and incorporrated into the Cincin
nati platform in 1856, as expounded by :
Mr. Buchanan in his letter accepting the 1
nomination, and approved by the peo
ple in his election, in that event, my
I friends will beat liberty to present my
name to the Convention, if they see
proper to do so. If, on the contrary, it
j shall become the policy of the demo
‘ cratic party, which I cannot anticipate,
to repudiate these, their time honored
principles, on which we have achieved
| so many patriotic triumphs, and, in lieu
iof them the Convention shall interpo
late into the creed of the party such 1
! new issues as the revival of the African
slave trade, or a Congressional slave (
! code for the Territories, or the doctrine
j that the Constitution of the United
States either establishes or prohibits
i slavery in the Territories, beyond the
power of the people legally to control 1
it, as other property, it is due to candor '
j to say, that in such event I could L
not accept the nomination if tendered
to me.
Trusting that this answer will he ,
deemed sufficiently explicit, I am, very,
respectfully, Your friend,
