rUephfn A. Douglas's speech in lLo Hen
Die, Junior j 3d, on tlio " crisis," has failed
to elicit any approval from otiytwxlj ex
irpting the Hrcckluridge party. Tim Dou
glas organi generally refine to print II.
In tending features nro rowardlce atuijack
of principle. Wo hare nc vcr read a sjm-u-Ii
of ill length Hut Im filled lis with more
unutterable loathing and disgu-t. Mr.
Houghis lias hitherto had character
among lili friends for courage, mid an hon
est attachment lo principle. Hereafter, lio
will be looked upon u possessing neither.
Tiie following is a smull sample of poughis
on liii marrowbones before Ivtrsou, WbJ
fall, and Yancey;
" IJut I'trill not consider this question of

their country."
When Mr. Ponging was on the stump fur
the Presidonry, ho told im tlmt hi 1 plat
form' was "my gar-real purrineipU"
" thai the people had the ritjhl of trlfgov
ernmrnt." Ho told us that this "gurrcut
purriuciple was ferried over in the May
flower," and assured us a thousand times,
swinging his fists, (.linking bin Imir, and
thundering defiance ut all tho world, thut
this ' plulform' of his vat jutt vhal our
Revolutionary t'athrri trampled the toil

mire to teeure f ir their jmtrrity. He
called the Iiccomplon policy of the slave
cods disunionists a detpotitm equal lo tlmt
of Louis Xnpolcnti, who allowed universal
suffrage, but shot down every mnii who
didn't rote as lie wanted him to. The doe
trincs of the slave code disunionists are,
according to M r. Douglas's own showing,
at war with the Constitution, and contrary
to the fundamental principles which form
the substitutive basis of our Government.
The Brcckitirldgo Democracy made up
their issues, mid went before the Amcricnu
people with them at the last (lection, and

nearly four million of voters scouted.'

tutional way, tho leaders of teccs-ion arc
.i - .. . I
uemiwuiiig oi me .ortn a clear surrender
of principle as the turns o:i which I hey
will stop trying to destroy the Government.
They nsk us to viola to our consciences and
debase our manhood by permitting them to
remodel the Constitution so as to recognize,
defend, and establish the very opposite of
wiiut Douglas himself says ourfatheri bled
to maintain-and yet Douglas, professinj
(o be a descendant of thoso fathers, be
comes so intimidated at tho howl of dis
uuionists, thut ho gets on his knees before
them, and tells them thut 'although I love
free speech and n frco government, mid
havo always adhered to tho 'right of self-
government' as nn inalienable (for white
men) and eonxlilutional right, yet, if you
aro determined that wo shall not enjoy it
unless wo fight for it, why, you will have
to take it away from us, and govern us
yourselves for I inn not willing to fight
lor any ' platform.' '
The followers of Garrison will probably
lenrn wisdom from tho conduct of their
Southern brethren, mid soon by threaten'
iug, ranting, and pitching in for a ' rccou
Ktructiou' of tho Government to suit them,
ns a condition of keeping quiet. Will
Douglas get on his knees to Garrison, nud
say, "Take what you want, for there is no
jdutform I will go to war for"' ?
lutir. Ciuntk. 1'hu .Oregon Farmer
advertises " Italian queen bees " lor sulu in
California at $40 a head. To give us an
Idea of the value of tho breed, the runner
reproduces im article from which we clip
the following:
"The productive power of a queen bee
is almost beyond belief. From u single
one can be produced iu one season, thirty
thousand working bees mid fifty queens.
As many ns one hundred and thirty queens
have been obtained, but fifty is a miftT
number. Pome of the Italian bee keepers
estimate sixty to seventy pounds of honev
Tier season, to a young swarm, while one
hundred to one hundred and thirty pounds
is often taken from an old hive."
For the benefit of such as may bo in
doubt as to whether it will ' pay to invest
fortv dollars in ouo of theso ' queens,' we
bare made a small calculation based on tho
foregoing data, on the net profits of such
un investment in ten years, und find it to
amount to jnst nhout (we are not particu
lar to a cent) $M,!?7d,7.63'). That is
more money tlmn a man would be worth if
he should pot the ' Queen ' of Knglund.

county within n few weeks past. He has
friends close by, who secrete him, and pro

Now, I wish, through thu medium of your
paper, to inquire whether the keepers of
the tVuitentiury intend to offer a reward
for Jennings's apprehension? as I under
stand they have not done so. II they will
offer a reasonable reward, he will be ar
rested ami delivered to them. There are
men in this county ready to do it. Nay,
more: if the keepers of the Penitentiary
will only promise to k- rp him, these same
men will npun hend Jennings, and deliver
him to them in Poriluud, irWi any re-a-aro.
The people in this section are get
