Isn't it the realization of all you ever read in 'Uncle Tom' or 'Dred'?" Kate glanced into the weird deeps of foliage, where a bird, fluttering on the wing, aroused strange echoes.

Lincoln, who was in 1857 the Republican candidate for United States Senator from Illinois, while Douglas sought the votes of the Democracy, first entered the lists against his rival at Springfield, in a speech attacking that wily politician's position as to the Dred-Scott decision.

" If Douglas did not answer Lincoln's question he would jeopardize his election as Senator; if he did answer he would offend the South, for his doctrine of "squatter sovereignty" conflicted not only with the interests of slavery, but with his defence of the Dred-Scott decision,a fact which Lincoln was not slow to point out.

2. LA MA DRE AMABILE.

I heard of the Dred Scott Decision, and thought J.P. Roebuck was talking foolishness when he came to me one day over in my back field to borrow a chew of tobaccohe was always doing thatand said that this decision made slavery a general thing all over the Union.

A second shepherd appears with another grumble: 'We sely wedmen dre mekyll wo.'

Antagonism aroused by the Dred Scott decision, and the further irritation caused by the Fugitive Slave law were kicking up plenty of trouble during Buchanan's administration.

Guaranty us health, and Mrs. Stowe cannot frighten us with all the prophecies of Dred; but when her sister Catherine informs us that in all the vast female acquaintance of the Beecher family there are not a dozen healthy women, we confess ourselves a little tempted to despair of the republic.
