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 western editor expressed bis delight at having nearly been called “honey’’ by the gal he loves, because site saluted him as ‘Old Bees Wax’ at tlieir Inst meeting.

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, fmt rather cherished nnd respected by nil good Democrats who have a spark of grati tude. We hope the Union aud Standard will explain and retract? Ot.D Link Dkmocbat. 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.
