THE LITTLE BOY THAT DIED.
I am all alone in my chamber Sow,
And the midnight hour is near,
And the fagot's tack, and the clock's dufl tick,
Are the only sounds I hear . . , . , .
All over my soul in its solitude,
Sweet feelings of gladness glide,
For my heart and my eyes are full when I think
Of the little boy that died. -
I went one night to my father's house
Went home to the dear ones all
And softly opened the garden gate,
And softly the door of the hall.
My mother came out to meet her son
"' She kissed me, then she sighed,
And her head fell on my neck and wept
For the little boy that died.
I shall miss him when the flowers come, '
In the garden where he played,'
I shall miss him more by the fireside, ; ' '
When the flowers have all decayed. ' ;
I shall see liis toys and his empty chair, '
And the horse he used to ride,
And they will speak with a silent speech, '
Of the little boy that died. ' ,
' ":
We shall go home to our father's house
To our father in the skies,
Where the hope of our souls shall have no blight,
Our love no broken ties; " - peace,
We shall roam on the banks of the river of
And bathe in its blissful tide,
And one of the joys ef heaven shall be
The little boy that died.

. ; r v The Dead Arm.
"Do you see that arm?"
The convict," wasted by a fierce dis
ease,' raised himself to a sitting posture
in the bed with much labor, and lifting his
withered right arm with the other,
clutched it as if he would wring it from
its socket, as a traitorous member of
his body. ; : ' '-
"That arm did it, and he glared
vengefully upon it, and shook it fiercely.
"Did what?''
"Did murder! Put me here to live a
buried life for ten long years. '; Oh! how
long they have been. I have couhted
them hour alter hour in my cell. How
long can I live; at the most?" ' ''
-"Three hours perhaps four." "' "
1 Too long to live, but suflicient time
in which to tell my story. If you be
lieve it, it will be more than judge or
jury nave done. . Would you deceive
when on your death bed?
"My marriage to the girl .1 had long
loved, and wlio loved me with a love far
exceeding my most sanguine' hopes, is
the point, as tar as regards the nice ap
plicability of the pnst events to present
certainties, at which my narrative com
mences.' Dating from the day of that
marriage, there begins a succession of
misfortunes, that, insignificant at their
birth, were gradually moulded together
by ' execraneous contingencies, until
they culminated in an act foul and ter
rible if premeditated or intended, that
inade me a branded felon. .
"My wife and I never quarreled.-
We loved and revered each other too
inuch to. trespass or trample upon what
the V other considered ' sacred. To be
sure, in, mere levity and exultation of
spirits, we performed acts that, to per
sons unacquainted with us and our cir-,
cumstances, might seem seasoned with
earnestness. '. "
"To . BUch misunderstanding, ' by
third person, may be attributed the ori
gin of reports that we, my wife and I",
lived an unhappy lile a ale ot turmoil
of blows. ' , . . .
"Many around us held to such an
opinion, out trom mere ignorance 01 the
exact nature of our lives..
"But I, descending speedily to the
grave, do , declare that we , never," by
word or deed, transcended the bounds
of our great love for each other: or
transgressed those laws that should pre
serve the person of the .'wife from blow
or, J contumely . If 'it were ' possible to
exist . without jarring ! discord, to turn
the sweetest sympathies into bitter, ha-i
tred,' ours was that existence. Yet it
availed me not in the dark' day that
came upon my household; but rather of
fered opportunities by which to
strengthen an apparent guiltiness. '
"'Jessie,' I said to my "wife, one
evening, 'do you stand on one side, of
the room, while I take a position on the
other. Give ine a ball of yarn from the
basket, and then whoever' is hit with
the ball the greatest number of. times
shall make a present to the other! -' ; A
nice present; 'of course.1 ' ." ' ' ,
'If I lose, mj present ' shall be a
dres3in-goio, said ; Jessie, " 'but. yoa
know you'll have tarpay for. it.' ; !
; ti jt will be just as acceptable,' I an
swered, 'Bat if I lose you shall have
the ring with the emerald and pearls.'
"Then the sott call of yarn .flew
quickly from hand to' hand, we all , the
time laughing and talking' in great glee.
A knock at the door,' and aii acquaint
ance entered, 'finding oar faces .flushed
with the excitement of the contest and
each uncertain who was the vanquished.
1 declared she uad won tne riiur; and
promised to put it 'upon her finger the
next day; which day, to her alive, nevel
came. "'.':' ." "
"About two o olock that night I was
awakened to consciousness by "One sf
those inexplicable preternatural promo
tions of near danger which are often en
countered, but generally ..in a sceptical
spirit. . "' . . ".. :
"My mind was clear to reason not
having its delieate ". powers . blunted by
sleep. Scarcely Were my eyes unclosed
before I became cognizant of the presr
ence of a cold, clammy nature, . by -it?
loathsome contact with my face, and by
its pressure uponi ' my boscm,' whereby
it nearly stilled the beating of iny
heart. Naturally,' I am not a coward;
but the knowledge of the ' presence ' of
this burdencombined with utter dark
ness, .creator , of fierce fear, completely
unnerved me, 3and my , body shook like
an aspri leaf.
" "The quiet condition of this body?
which appertained not to myself bi;nly
wife its -'mysterious Bituatioh-r-and
above all, the moist,1 chilly contact with
my face, deprived me for an instant of
self-possession. The clattering of a
blind, or the nibbling of a mouse,
seemed like a peal of thunder to my
ears;- the overstrained eye saw,'
or
seemed to see, ghostly shapes pendant
irom the chandelier to the bed-post
"I dared not shout aloud nor
change
my positioB in bed for fear that my
throat would be clutched by the incubus
that sat like a hideous night mare fully
developed into a reality upon my chest.
"I experienced such sensation as does
the Btrong swimmer or the venturous di
ver, when coming' into bodily contact,
unforewarned, with a corpse . beneath
the surface of the water when nature
acts like an electric battery, and dis
charges volumes of fear at the slightest
movement; or like one in the dark, who
encounters a skeleton. - - . - .;.
"I was peculiarly situated; surrounded
by an immensity of" terror; expansive, in
asmuch as it draped thoughts and mo
tions in habiliments that gave them a gi
gantic appearahcej'immersed in a sea of
dread and doubt, and finally completely
cowed by fear. " ' " 5
"Now reason made its appeal to-the
frightened soul. The mere conscious
ness of bodily contact with this invisi
bility suggested its substantiability, but
I hesitated to make the first movement,
hostile or otherwise. There was a half
formed supposition in my mind that if I
stirred there would come upon hie an on
set by the incubus that I could not with
hold; this hesitancy to action . I partly
overcame by the circumspect rising of
my left arm it was free'. I moved my
right instantly, and cotemporaneously
with that movement, the weight upon
my face was removed to my neck. A
little, more stealthy investigation, still
fearful of an attack by an insidious en
emy, and I found that my ' right hand
an d the arm as far as the elbow was tern
porarily paralyzed, or in that condition
called 'asleep;' that the hand was cold
and without sensibility and that it was
the object that had rested upon my face.
' "Of course I was much elated at the
discovery, and ashamed that I had been
so easily alarmed at an incident that was
susceptible of so easy an explanation. 7
In order to give my wife ' an account of
the absurd occurrence, I turned over, my
present position being a reclination upon
my back. ' In my relief, consequent upon
what I considered a correct explanation,
the weight upon my chest had been for
gotten; no, the change of my position re
called it very unpleasantly and inoppor
tunely, even before I had touched ; my
wife.' '.' ,' ' '.' " "', ' "
I -i "Imagine, if you can, the result of this
sudden knowledge that my oppressor had
not been explaued away. Think how
quickly all the reasons which had been
carefully involved from the mental per
plexities in which I had been entangled
were effectually controverted, and how
absolutely mystery and frantic horror
again swayed the scepter. '
"There was, then, a being or thing in
the room that did not belong there, never
had been there previous to that night,
and my deductions were faulty. The rei
suit was that I lost all control over my
passions that I was lashed into a fury
of despair by the fear of the presence of
a supernatural being. ; 1 w
"Clasping the object upon my' breast
with my left hand, with my right nerved
with terror knowing no restraint, and
numbed to all sensation of pain by rea
son of . its' paralysis, I struck heavy,
treacherous blows. ' I had soft hair, and
at this I pulled and tugged in this par
oxysm of terror. : In my great agony of
mind I shrieked for aid notwithstand

lover ifthe "Union of these States,"
and it is opon the efforts of honest, bold
and gifted leaders like him, that it must
depend for its defense and perpetuity.
It caq't be maintained, by, a servile sub
mission of any one section to any attempt
at domination by another section. And
it is cowardly and base now to conceal
the fact that slaveholders in the South
are called upon to maitffcin their self
respect, as well as , their : rights of per
sonal property. ,Many may be restrained
by their caution from resorting to de
cisive measures; but the few brave men
who have purpose and will, and a sense
of honor, will see, and feel, and act
upon the wisdom that decisive measures,
in vital and extreme cases, forbid and
repel aggression and revolution; whilst
indecisive measures-" a patchwork of
compromise and concession but invite
wrong and insult, and at last will force
men to violent resistance when it will be
too late to arrest revolution. When
the conservative element in" the North
sees that there are, yet men in the. South
who can force revolution rather than
be degraded in the Union, then .the
Union itself will be restored in its true
brotherhood." Have we purpose, will,

Popular Soirereignty;.
"WHAT IT IS AND WHAT IT IS NOT.
- - t -.. '. . ;
Popular Sovereignty, strictly speak
ing, j means People's Sovereignty the
Sovereignty of the people. There ; is
a great deal said about this thing of
popular sovereignty, as applied to the
people of a Territory; It constitutes
the whole capital and "stock ia trade'?
of Douglas and his party, and it is high
time that we fully and '- clearly under
stand just what is meant or comprehended
by the phrase, in the abstract; just what
means, or amounts to as contained in the
Kansas-Nebraska Bill;, and just what it
amounts to as taken in "connection with
the platform on which Mr. Douglas now
stands with his speeches, and also with
the decision of the .Supreme. Court in
the Dred Scott case, which Mr. Douglas
approves and endorses. ' We find Mr.
Douglas going about " the country,
making stump speeches; and advocating
as a peculiar measure of his own, ; and
one which should entitle him to consid
eration above that of any other man,
the principle of popular sovereignty or
right of self-government,1 as applied to
the: people of the Territories. This
sounds well enough; . indeed it sounds
well. It is a pleasing idea, this thing
of "self-government:" it seems plausible
and fair, and withal ia flattering to the
self-pride of the masses. It is. a "harp
of a thousand strings," and Mjj, Douglas
knows well how to play on it, ...But. we
should not allow ourselves to be deceived
by "sounding brass and tinkling cym
bal" there is too much at stake. The
question is, what does it all mean? Is
it merely a catch phrase of "glittering
generalities,'.' to attract and mislead the
people?. Does itmeaninf?t"i)u?MaZself-gov-ernment
the right of every one to do as
he pleases? or does' it mean the right of
a people, 01 a community,' or Territory,
in their organized capacity, to do as they
please; that is; to make and administer
their own laws? ' In short, what does i
mean? and j under all the circumstances,
what does it amount to? . - : I .:
, Mr. Douglas has been proclaiming for
years pat and he is still doing the
same thing :that according to the Kansas-Nebraska
bill The people of ar terri
tory, tJie same as the people of a State,
have aright to exclude,' prohibit, or es
tablish slavery, as they may see fit.
This we .all know But: let me prove
this faet, for that is the principle on
which T go in matters of this kind.
On the 23rd; of February, 1859, Mr.
Douglas made a speech ' in the Uuited
States Senate, in reply to Senator Brown,
of Miss., and in justification of his own
course, as to the "intent and meaning"
of the" Kansas-Nebraska bill." In that
speech he said: : '!'''' - ;
. "I assert I that in: 1859, during the
whole of that campaign, I took the same
position as I do now, and none other j
and I "will show, that Mr. Buchanan
pledged himself to the 'same doctrine
when he accepted the nomination of the
Cincinnati Convention'..: Inihia letter of
acceptance, , he says,,. referring i; to.,, the
Kansas-Nebraska apt:. ;'.This, legislation
is founded upon principles "as "ancient as

ance with them, has simpy declared that
the people pf.J, Territory; like tlwse of-
State, ehould ; decide .for,, themselves,
whether" slavery, should or should not
exist'iwithiri' their limits'. J I undertake
to say that wherever 'I went theit year his
cause teas advocated on that principle, ah
laid down jin his. letter of acceptance.

No Northern State would probably.have

had not been deceived and misled into the

under the Kansas-Nebraska bill, were to
be allowed to govern themselves and to.

ciares, 10 aeiermine ine slavery quesuon
for themselves, the Bame as ' the 'people

give them tbis'right? - Did it place them

or any other, question? for :this is, wbafc
the laiiguage "of Mr. Douilaa "and Mr

an equality with the people of a State.1--1
Thisj of course, cannot be disputed."
But were the peophref Kansas and-Ne

the saine as the people of a State? Was
this a i; thatv MrDouglaai then pro-
claimed, and has' continued to proclaim1,
even up to this; time, or. was it true?
That's-the question.. , j ,; ... .
. On another occasion, in his speech at
New Orleansj Dec. 8,' 1858, Mr1.' Douglas
said: : I
- 41 1 have been! repeatedly - asked, liere
and elsewhere, whatl meant by popular
sovereignty in the Territories. - My an-;
swer is, that I niean the right of the peo

power of self-govern ment,' Nike the peo
ple of a: State," as Mr. Buchanan Mr.;
Douglas, .and the whole , democratic
party, North,-, have bee.n thundering.).it
into our ears, and into the ears andf
minds of tlieir followers and dupesj for'
the. last six
this thing.
years! Let us look into
Now it so happens that the amount of
popular sovereignty contained in the
Kansas-Nebraska bill, and, consequent
ly, enjoyed by the people of the Terri
tories, ca' b calculated and ascertained
by the rules of matheissatScsc . Govern
ment, in this country, is aivided into
three distinct departments Legislative,
Executive, and Judiciaryjrthey are co
equal; each :is one-third of the whole
thus, JLiegislative, one-third; Executive.,
one-third ; Judiciary, one-third ; total;
the Government. Thus it is in Kansas;
thus it is in each of the States; "and
thus it is in the General GxverBmentf.
As already: stated; popular 7 sovereignty
means people's sovereignty agoverninent
created and carried on: by the peo.ple
governed ;, it is emphatically the "self
government of the people of ' State or
Territory; or irB8e : strictly 6peaking
the people of a State, for sovereignty
alone applies to a State; and the moment
the people of a Territory become sove
reign, in their governmental , capacity,
that very moment they become a State.
But let that pass. . 1
We have seen that the government of
a .territory, as well as of a State, is
made up of three departments the Leg
islative, the Executive, and the" Judic
iary; and that these three are co-equal.
Now, are the people of Kansas sovereign
in. all three of these? , Are they iu re
gard to these three departments "like the
people ' of a Statet" as Mr: "Douglas, Mr.
.Buchanan, and the leaders, in the Dem
ocratic party say. :Are the people of the
Territory allowed to elect their Gover
nor, their Executive? . No; the President
elects him" for them! Bat the people of
a State elect their own Uovernor. ' bo
there is one-third ' of the people's so ver
eighty .gone, at all events! ! And thn,
too, you see the people of : a Territory
are not "like those of a State." But
again: are they allowed to, elect their
judges i-their Judiciary? No! The
President electa or appoints- their judges
for them. , But the people of a -State
elect , their , own : Judiciary., .Hence,
again, the people, of a Territory are not
"like the people 01 a btate, in the mat
ter of self-government. And so- there is
anotfer third of. I popular . sovereignty
gone!-T thus leaving to the people, at
best, but one-third of this boasted thing
of popular sovereignty this great prin
ciple of self-goVernment,Jwhich; we are
told, gives to "the people 61 a lerntory,
like those of a State ," the right to decide
for themselves whether .they will or .will
not have slavery within their Iimijts.-7-r
Was such unblushing falsehood ever ut
tered before by grave official or enlight
ened statesman! ';- il - i :i
But have the people even one-third of
sovereignty? The President, as we have
seen, furnishes them with" two-thirds of
their government, the Executive and the
Judiciary departments; and' leaves the"
people one-third, that is, the election' of
their Legislature. ' But then, one of the
thirds of their government- the Gover-.
nor which is a, foreign third, forced
upon them, it may be, and ha3;leeo
against their will as foreigriiri- Vcality,
aa could possibly be any law of Congress
made for themj this: Executive third has
thp ppwer tp neutralize two-thirds of the
only third possessed by the people!. The
Governor possesses' the veto power; this
is equivalent to tiro-thirds of the Legis-i
lature,'. lacking one vote, as it; .takes ; a
'two-third vote-to overcome ib. o So- the
matter in fact stands precisely thus:
The President elects the Governor'
three-ninths; the President elects the Judiciarythree-ninths;
governor's veto,
two-ninths, lacking a fraction; total sovt
ereignty held by the Federal-Govern-,
ment eight-niths, minus a fraction; to
tal soveignty held by the people of tTie
Territory ON'BS'fij"THf"I"'Sr1f& third of
one-third, and a fracUrt too small to be
worth .calculating! Here, then we have
the 'great:, prinoiple" of popular spver-;
eignty, .as. applied to the. Territories,
worked out, and the sum total ascer
tairied! "Look at ' itl yotr D'oiiglasites;

Now, in view; of the forefgoing facts,
notice the following: Mr.' Douglas. iB at
present stumping it over Ne Ehglandy
and in all his , speeches, glorifying; this
thing of 'popular spvereignty" and "siplf-'
government1 in the Territories. Ori hV
dlst 01 July lasfhe spoke at tohcofd:
N: H., and his speec'h? has been published
in the Uoncord papers, the iMisgoun JCe
publican, and hundreds of other Dpugrj
las. papers, throughout .be country,
From that speech take the following as'
a s-ample:' f --J
"The "Republicans tell you that the
moment a citizen of New Hampshire
(who possesses the inherent right ot self
goyernmentj sp long .as Jip. , stays here)
crosses a State line, and enters, a Terri
tory -of the'Uriite'd Stktes,' heYorfeits that

come' from? ' ; Many ' of them are ;y6ur
sons, your brothers,-who left the granitel
hills, ot . their, native State, anqiwent to
Kansas.f They were capable of self-goy-ernmenf,

souri River? .Where; and when; I' ask
did the.nativeTborni:'itizen,-.i'ho was ca

two-thirds, nay eigM-nihtlU of it, if it i

Mr. Douglas' record on the Kansas
Nebraska bill does ot Ieoft very well,,
compared wit Us- preset attempts to
deceive the people with fallacies, sophis
try and lies. If he was. really in; fSmr
of allowing the people of the Territories-t-firj

those of a" Stated why' did: lie tbt
