SEYMOUR vs. DOUGLAS—Gov. Seymour
in his speech at Chicago, charged the Repub-
licans with originating the present war. He
said:
“ Four years ago a convention met in this .
city, when our country was so peaceful, pros-
perous and united”. Its delegates did not
mean to destroy our government, to over-i
whelm us with debt, or to drench our land
with blood. * * * Their passions have
brought about their natural results.”
Very different from this silly falsrfi' cation
equal to twenty Seymours—Stephen A.
Douglas. He said: ‘
“ flhc electzbanLincoln is a more protest.
The present secession movement is the re-
sult of an enormous conspiracy, formed more
than a year since—formed by leaders In the
Southern Confederacy more than twelve
months ago. The conspiracy to now known,
armies have been raised, war is levied to ac-
complish it. There are only two aides to
the question. Every man' must be for the
United States or against it. There can be m:

the country from a gigantic rebellion, and

But it grows too debasing for frecmen to bear,
And Washington, Jackson, will turn in their grsvas
When the Union shall rest on two roses of slaves,

And sandered, exist as a nation no more!

The Open Door.
Witin a town of Holland, once
A widow dwelt, ’tis said,
So poor, alas! her children asked
One night, in vain, for bread.
But this poor woman loved the Lord,
And knew that He was good;
So with her little ones around,
‘ Shc prayed to Him for food.
When prayer was done,- hcr eldest child,
A boy of eight years old,
Said softly, “In the holy book,
Dear mother, we are told
How God, with food by ravens brought,
Supplied His prophet’s need.”
“Yes,” answered she, “but that, my son,
Was long ago, indeed.” .
“But, mother, God may do again
What He has done before,
And so, to let the birds fly in,
I will unclose the door.”
Then little Dirk, in simple faith,
Threw ope the door full wide,
So that the radiance of their lamp
Fell on the path outside.
Ere long the burgomaster passed,
And, hoticing the light, .
Puma to inquire whyvthe door: _
Was open so at night.
“My little Dirk has done it, sir,“
The widow, smiling, said,
“That ravens might fly in to bring
My hungry children broaI ."
“Indeed !” the burgomaster cried,
“Then here’s a raven, lad;
Come to my home, and you shall see
Where bread may soon be had.”
Along the street to his own house
He quickly led the boy,
And sent him back with food that filled
His humble home with joy.
The s'upper ended, little Dirk
Went to the open door, -
Looked up, said “Many thanks, good Lord;”
Then shut it fast once more ; 7
For, though no bird had entered in,‘ ‘
Heknew that God on high,
Had hearkened to his mother’s prayer,
And sent this full supply.
