Alt OTHER LETTER FROM J6DOX XXXIBX.
From the St. Louis Evening Newra. Sept. 20
On the first page of to-day’s paper will be
found n manifesto from Judge llrecse, of Illi
nois, defining bis position relative to the war
between tbe President and Senator Douglas :
Jadgs Brsatc’a Petition.
Carlyle, Sept. F4,1858.
Dkar Sir : My letter to the Her. Mr.
Boyukin, published in the Missouri Repnhli
can, and wliicb you buve doubtless renii, was
intended as (i gentle rebuke to those who
bad chosen to select my position for mo with
out consulting ine, ■” to inform rm
friends that 1 did not sympathize at all with
the mown cut now in Active progress to sev
er this State from the national democracy.
Mr. Buchanan was the unt iased choice of
the democratic party of this Stale ; he is at
th*? head of tbe administration of our natiou
tion affairs ; he is carrying out democratic
principles, as 1 understand them ; he. has
violated no pledges, and he has to sustain
him ninety-nine thousand out of every hun
dred thousand democrats in the Union.
Thus far, in my opinion, he has managed
affairs admirably, and I- am quite surprised
no voice is rnigecFin bis defence against tbe
charges of nial-administratiou :,o boldly made
by the opposition. ,
Time was when such attacks were not
made with impunity. Time was when out
democratic members of Congress, on return
ing to tbeir constituencies, were loud and ar
dent in defence of administrations of which
they formed a part —when no attack was un
reprlied, and silence was rebuked.
But now, bow changed. Neither the
measures of Gen. Pierce’s administration,
going to the expenditures of the government
nor of Mr. Buchanan’s, find in them any de
fenders. Not an argument or an arm is rais
ed to justify either ; whilst Charges the most
false arc hurled against them, without con
tradiction or explanation from any quarter.
I need not ask you why this is so. You
aie too close an observer of current events to
be at a loss for an explanation.
But 1 did not commence this letter to get
upon this topic. It is written to defend tin
own position, and we are quite apt to lose
sight of important public matters wjien sell
is involved.
You know, as do many friends of our dis
tinguished senator, that I defended his speech
and iiis vote on the Lecouiptou constitution—
that is to say, his opposition to it—and on tie
ground that it was then a mere question id
expediency, about which friends might differ.
I defended Mr. Buchanan because 1 believed
he was honest—that lie believed the ques
tion could be most speedily nud satisfactorily
settled by admitting Kansas with that con
stitution. His policy, I thought, was higldv
conservative. No plank in our platform in
quired the submission “t constitutions to the
people, and no one man lias a right to put it
in. Kansas had made her constitution rn
Jirrutcnwuy,n\\tWl was in subservience to
tbe constitution of the United States, and J
thought it might be interfering with her frei
action for Congress to require her to submil
her action to the. votes of the people. She.
as we do—and iu perfect consonance with
the principles of our government —acted iu
the matter th.ough her lepresentatives.—
Kansas is not, nor is any State iu this Uuion,
a democracy, ill which the. people must, by
diieet vote, ratify laws or constitutions before
They shall have a binning force. It is a ucv\
tangled notion, not in harmony with the the
ory of our government, aud has no claims to
special regard, and 1 was quite willing otn
distinguished senator should have bis own
way iu this matter, though he had reported a
bdl fiotn his committee which, when it went
to his committee, had the principle of sub
mission engrafted upon it, but wbeu reported
by him it was, to that extent, deprived of its
vital principle—-it was emasculated, and by
his own consent. 1 thought, how ever, as he
had consented to such a sacrifice, it did not
became him to be too severe upon those who
but FoJlowtd his lead. 1 thought the Presi
dent. and he could differ, as friends, upon n
question by no menus momentous.
A\ hen the English compromise bill became
a law, 1, iu common with the gieat mass of
the detnoarat-ic party throughout this Stntp,
deemed it a finality, and hoped no more
would be said or spoken on that subject. All
of us seemed to be agreed that “hy-gones”
should be “by genes”—that dead issues
should not be raked up out of their ashes “to
flight us from our propriety,” and to disturb
tbe couutiy, uud lie made n weapon of attack
upon men and tbeir motives. All were desi
rous to leturn again our distinguished sena
tor to the field of liif well-earned fiftne—all
would have uifitcd t 6 buckle the harness on
his stalwart limbs—-all would have made n
vigorous,milted effort topiesent him, once
more, ns our ablest and boldest champion
No wish was entertained in the party tlmt he
should have opposition, as we had understood
and as we supposed, from reliable friends,
that he, with us, would, and did, consider
“the English bill” the final settlement’of a
most disturbing question. No one bad a de
sire to press matters to nn open rupture, and
not a syllable of uokind censure was lisped,
or any opposition meditated,to bis re-election,
so far as 1 know or believe. The convention
in April fully endorsed him.
Such, 1 maintain, was the general state of
feelings among the democracy up to his re
turn to this State in July last. All know
who read, wlmt his couiso has been since that
event, and all now know ana feel, if he is siu
cere, (and who can doubt him /) that there
is a gTest gulf between him and the national
demociucy, over which we cannot pass to go
to him and at the same time keep hold of the
principles of our party.
As an humble and unpretending mcmbei
of tlmt party, I regret it exceedingly. I re
gret, in common with the parly, So great a
loss. 1 lament it for iris sake, but nunc, far
more, for the party’s sake, though it w ill ccr
tamly survive it, as if bus .survived the loss
of other shining and useful members.
To relieve iny friends thus early from nil
anxiety on my account, I wish lo any to them
in all sincerity, that 1 have never bad a wish
since I left the Senate again to return to it.
lam no anpirant for political position, nor
have I any taste for political strife. I am
far more content with my domestic peace,
and in the performance of my judicial duties,
laborious ns they are, than I ever waa, or can
be, in the Atur n and whirl of politic*. That
is a sea too turbulent and dangerous for my
little bark to tempt. 1 know now of no per
sonal inducement that can allure me to it.—
1 have sounded its depths and shallows, and
I urn satisfied with the experiment.
At the same time, I cannot be entirely
composed when L and- tha vast mullitudo
with wh. in I act, composing an overwhelm
ing majority of our party in the Union, are.
denounced as participants in a fraud and
swindle, in the matter of Lecompton—we, our
selves, stigmatized ns bolters, disorganize™,
and with bnvitig homed an alliance with the
republican party ; and these charges made by
turn who aie all these, and more, and who,
for one long session of Congress, were in
closest communion with the members of that
party, aiding them to thwart the administin
tiotiin their noble efforts to give peace to thc
conutry and restore harmony to the pnrty.
1 have no sympathy with the movement—
none whatever. 1 want ho new party
with new heads. The old democratic party,
coeval with our national constitution—that
for near thirty years has sustained me, to
which my best affections are devoted, and
to which 1 owe everything of honor or dis
tinction I may have attained—in good enough
for me. 1 feel secure in its embrace—l feel
satisfied by free communion with it—l feel
enobled by the sublime precepts it teaches,
and within it 1 Impo to die. ~
Be pleased, my dear sir, to any I am not
in the political field. lam no candidate for
the Senate, nor for any other political station,
and, what is more, 1 neither w-isli nor ex
pect to be a candidate. You must pardon
my too partial friends, who seem quite an
xious lo press rile upon the public attention
L confess l feel flattered by the desire, so
generally expressed, and so unexpected. It
1 is very gratifying to me, indeed, to know
that I am deemed worthy to be called upon
in such a gieat, party emergency. It is some
evidence tliHt my course as senator hereto
fore has inspired a confidence that 1 would
not betray the trust should it he again con
fided to me. You may be assured I would
■ not, if I desired the position, ‘either compro
mise my own dignity, or annoy the people,
by soliciting it in person. In theory, the
people are not the electors of a senutor ; it is
1 tbe legislature, and tluy should be left free,
■ on an occasion so great, as confiding an equal
portion of its sovereignty to one matt, to act”
from their unbiased judgment, and with an
e.yesingleto tbe interests of that sovereign
ty. Tbe State can call upon any one of her
sons to receive it, and when so gained it is
an honor.
I have long since,ns my friends well know,
I abandoned the whole field of active politic:.
’ for more congenial pursuits. Politics is the
- Circean cup, for whose seductivo contents I
■shall never thirst again. 1 pass it cheeifully
by to those whose appetites crave its intoxi
cation.
I have now accomplished the purpose 1
1 imd in view—to define for myself, in my
1 own selected time, my position. What 1
■ have written ha 6 been with no other desire
> than to communicate to my democratic fiiends
my sincere conviction that an effort is be
‘ mg made to separate them from the national
democracy, and that i felt const mined to say
oinetliing to prevent it. Should it be effect•
’ ed, aud a northern democracy grow up, an
tagonistic to other portions of tbe Union, the
1 consequences will lie fatal to it, and to out
own peace and happiness. This is my opin
ion.
Yours, very truly and respectfully,
BIDNLY BUEKSE.
Hon. 0. C. Skinner, Quincy.
A BEAUTIFUL PA2APHABX.
From the Philadelphia Press.
As we have got into sacred poetry, we
may as well remark, as an inexplicable curi
osity, the intense badness of rhyme in most
of the psalms and hymns used in public and
piivate worship. ‘Watts, Wesley, William
Oowper, Jainek Montgomery, Kirke White,
aud Thomas Moore are almost the only-poets
who, writing upon sacred subjects, have ad
hered to rhythm, as well as to the appropri
ateness of expression. We hrivc lately fall
en upon something very different from the
usual poetical paraphrases of Snort'd Writ.—
It is a versification of the Lord's Prayer—an
origin, the. brevity and concentration of which
ought to be a lesson to those who indulge in
many words wfien they pour out prayer and
praise. It lias lately been published in Lon
don, is composed as a duet, and harmonized
for four voices, with an accompaniment for
the organ or piano forte, it runs thus :
Our Heavenly Father, bear our prayer-;
Thy name W l.ullowol every where;
Thy kingdom come’; Thy perfect will
lu earth, -as Heaven, It t at fulliii ;
Give this day’s bread that we may live ;
Forgive our sins as welorgive;
Help o* temptation to wiltntaud,
From evil shield us by Thy hand ;
Now and forever unto Thee,
Thy kingdom, pow er, and glory be. Ainen.
Here, nothing is redundant, nothing want
ing, The music, simple and melodious, i>
said to he wot thy of the words. The most
cniious circumstance connectod with this
paraphrase is, that all pel sous concerned keep
their names concealed. The authors ore “J.
M.” and “W. II.” The artist who lias beau
tifully adorned the mimic is “B. T.” The
musical composer is “G. F. II ” The para
phrase, which is as near peifection as human
talent can make it, has been duly “entered
at Stationers’ Hall,” but is not published.—
1: is to In; hoped that it will lie published, so
that it may be adopted in public and private
worship.

A RET AMD BAD FLANK IX THK FLATFOBM
We have heretofore supposed that sup
port of its principles—devotion to its faith—
adherence to it* organization was all that
was required to constitute oue a member of
the Democratic party, but from the general
tenor of an article in the Cimeville Standard,
two weeks since, and f>om an insidious thrust
at Whig Lenders contained in a most remark
able editorial of the Federal Union of the
last issue, we nre prepared fora ne# revela
tion of doctrine, and very much fear that one
of the moat ohjectionnbio features of the
Know Nothing articles of faith nre nbmit to
be incorporated into the Democratic Platform.
Timn with us lias not heretofore been con
•iderod a material essence of Democracy.—
W o had supposed that all were to be recog
nised as of the brotherhood, and treated as
such, who embraced its creed and madj? good
their fai|li by their works. But we find that
our cotemporaries of tlie Standard and Un
ion differ with us, and complain, the one, that
new lights are preferred to the old—the
other, that the “new lights” are stealthily
leading astray the ancient Democracy, and
that they must he watched with jealousy and
suspicion. In other words, the. idea may U*
inferred from the tone and temper of their
discourse that all who join Democracy muat
be put on probation—must take the low
seats iu the synagogue aud work their way
up.
No matter how earnest, how eloquent,
liovv useful one may he, time is to be the
measure of promotion to honor, and not tal
ent,'virtue and fitness for place.
Wo protest against the introduction of this
new element of discord into our ranks, for
two reasons. First, because it is wrong in
principle—second, because powerless iu prac
tice. What care the Democratic party about
obsolete parties and dead questions, wlten
great and vital Issues aie to be met and gi
ants are wanted to face the crisis and work
out a victory] What cure we whether Mr.
Toombs, or Mr. Stephens wc.ro inombers of
the Whig party of for.y-four, if they arc
with us now, really willing to fight our bat
tles in tire Semite and the Ifniibe ] Did Mr,
Buchanan in the Lecompton fight of the last
session, regret their services! Were they
uQt the champion* of the Administration on
that issue! Did not Hr. Stephens, day by
(lay and night by uigl.t, toil and work to
save the bill and sustain the recommendation
of the President! Did not the *• Union” af
ter the battle ws over, award tire highest
meed of praise to Mr. Stephens, for his tact,
his wisdom, and his ntifnitering devotion and
advocacy ol the doctrines contained in the
President's Message? Why did not the
President aud the Cabinet scorn the assis
tance of Mr. Toombs in the Senate, when he
so gallantly and eloquently led the debates,
and by tire force of truth and power of logic
sustained triumphantly the Lccuinpton Bill
as originally introduced ? Did we then hear
of the lend of New Lights? Were we then
warned against the power, and influence of
these gentlemen ? On the contrary did not
tire Standard nml the Union exhaust the lan
guage ol eulogy and praise in commending
tbeir patriotic course l
Then why all this talk about New Lights,
and the influence of Whig ’ Leaders ? The
Democratic party of Georgia, and or the
Union, have endorsed tlieir course and will
continue to do so ns long as they support the
platform and policy of the party, in spite of
all efforts to the contrary, let them come from
wlmt quarter they may. Have tire Stand
ard and the Union forgotten tlmt but fur tire
votes of Southern Rights and Pierce Wings,
llerschel V. Johnson would have been beaten
for Governor in ’. r >3 by Jenkins—that the
Legislature would have been lost, and that
there would have been no Democratic State
Printer?
Do they not remember that but for the aid
of TomnbH and Stephens and their gallant
associates, the Know Nothings would have
swept the State in 1855, and without the
timely succor of the Pierce Whig* nf 752,
the anti-Know Nothing Whigs of ‘55, and
those who came to us in the Presidential
•■lection of ‘SO, the indomitable Joe Brown
would not now be out Governor T ’ Without
the Whig strength ridded to the Democratic
pasty, we should he in a glori .us minority,
and if the divisions were made, which such
si litimen's as are promulgated by the Stand
ard and Federal Union are welb calculated
to create, the. Democratic party of Georgia
would be paltry in numbers and powerlses
in action.
We hope to see no more of these ungener
ous flings at Stephens and ToornU—they
arc not tItCT leaders of the Deinoern’ic party ;
they are its servants, nnd we hope they will
continue to occupy that position as long as
they shall serve the people with zeal and fi
delity. Let the opposition enjoy tbo sole
honor nf making time a test of political feal
ty. Let it not be introduced into our time
honored Platform., ‘l’he Whig element in
the Democratic party is a large and greatly
influential one, nod ought not to be ignore. 1,

A MAH WITHOUT HOPE.
Nothing more horrible can be conceived
than the situation of Myers, who lies under
sentence of death at Columbus. The Jour
nal say* :
He seems to have lost all sense of reason
ing with any person who mentions or tries to
converse with him as to a future—or even
gives him hope for pardon. The same stnb
born nature which manifested a profound si
lence, from the time he committed the mur
der, still retains possession of his mind. He
regards all hope of repentance as idle, and re
marked, if pardoned, there could be no change
in his future life, lie thinks all attempts to
be a better man are vain, as good name at id
honor, nil lie possessed, are taken from lain,
and It would be better to die than live under
such circumstances. He lays the whole of
hi* misfortunes to liquor ; his first mis-step,
hiring himself as a bar keeper.

A correspondent of the Richmond Des
patch, in a letter frou one of tiro watering
places, tells the following good story :
••An aronsing incident occurred on the ears
of the Virginia and Tennessee Road, which
must be preserved in print. It is too good to
be lost. A* the train entered the Big Tun

usual custom, a lamp wns fit. A ament girl
accompanying her mistress, had Sunk into a
profound slumber, but just at tiro lamp arks
lit she awoke, and, half asleep, jmagioed
herself in the infernal regions. Frantic with
*dght, she implored her Maker to have mer
cy on her, remarking at the same time, “the
devil bns got me at last.” Her mistress, sk
iing on tiro seat in front of tiro terrified ne
gro, wa deeply mortified, and called upon
her—“ Mollie, don’t make sucb it noise ;it ia
I, be not afraid.” Tiro poor African imme
diately os claimed, “Oil, miasnj, dot you ; j*t
what I ’apected ; I always thought }f eber 1
got to do bad plaee, l would am you dar. M -*t
These remarks were uttered with so much
vehemence, that trot a word was lost, and tiro
whole car became convulsed with laughter.
The lady seemed to regret she bad spoken at
all, if the crimson blushes which suffused her
cheeks be any evidence of confusion.

There is scarcely anything in tb Lug

winsomeness of love, than the fallowing
Heaven knows bow many simple letters from
simple-minded women have been kissed,
cherished and wept over by men of far loftier
intellect. So it will always be to the end of
time. It Is a lesson worth learning by those
young creatures who seek to allnre bv their
accomplishment* and dazste by their gootps,
that though be may admire, not mauy ever
loves a woman for these things. He lovea
her for what is essentially distinct from,
thongh not incompatible with them—her wo
man's nature, ami her woman's heart. This
is why we so often see men of high geerns or
intellectual power pas* by tlie De Staels end
Corinnes, to take to his bosom some wayside
flower, who has nothing on earth to ufVt
her worthy of him except that she is—what
so few of our ‘female celebrities* are —a time

achievements upon the land as remarkable as
those of England upon the water. Whilst
the bitter is making art experiment with the
