Full length we spread before our readers | this morning the late remarkable campaign speech of Mr. Douglas at Concord. and the ex- traordinary speech of Gen. H. S. Foote, the other evening, to the Douglas young demo- eracy of New York, sssembled at Saratoga Springs. , In the main, this speech of Mr. Douglas re- minds us of a famous speech onthe slavery question, delivered in Congress many yearsago by Mr. McDowell, then a member of the House from Virginia. An outsider, who had been among his listeners, seized the opportunity of the adjournment to express to a colleague of the orator a very high opinion of the speech. “Oh, yes.”’ was the response. “I always did ad- mire that speech of the Governor's.” But, al- though upon popular sovereignty this speech of Mr. Douglas is the old story, there are some points in it which make it almost as good a3 new. He tells us something of his momentous conversation with the President on the Le- compton difficulty, which was followed by the fatal anti-Lecompton rebellion of the Senator. He tells us that the President, ia that coaver- sation, admonished him that if he resisted the administration the administration would resist him. This was a fair warning; and if the President has fulfilled his promise, the Senator, we presume, has not been disap- pointed. He has found the President a man of his word, which is more than we can say of many other men, even of some note in the world. Mr. Douglas next. in pleading his plea of Territorial popular sovereignty over the slavery question, tells us that all the great lights of the democratic party in 1856 advocated the same doctrine, including Mr. Breckinridge and Gen. Lane. But that was in 1856, accompanied with a general understanding to leave the question to the interpretaion of the courts. That waa the Gemocratic Old Testament; the New Testament was proclaimed in 1357, in the Dred Scott de cision of the Supreme Court, which, in the clearest terms, repudiates this thing of popular | Sovereigaty in the Territories as a heresy, wad | which quite as clearly affirms the equal right of the people of all the States to go into the com- mon Territories of the Union with their pro perty of every description, slaves aud all, } and their right to the protection of said pro- perty by the local and federal authorities, antil the Territory shal! have passed, or is passing, from its minority, aa a mere child of the geaeral government, into its independent manhood asa sovereign State. The great error, then, of Mr. Douglas, fs in persisting in the Cincinnati platform of 1856, when it has been superseded by the platform of the Supreme Court of 1857, “the supreme law of the Jand.”” Breckinridge aad Lane stand upon the platform of 1857; and this very point, at which the trouble with Mr. Douglas begins, is the very point at which he stops his defeace. In other respects this speech of the indomitable Seastor sustains his bigh reputation as an ac- complished and powerful stump speaker—as the man among @ thousand to talk to the people. But bow shall we describe, or ia what cate- gory shall we place. this extraordinary harangue of Gen. Foote at Saratoga Springs. We are sorry to say that it betrays the soured and dis- appointed politician. Gen. Foote is » man of talent, education, experience, industry. cour- age and He has been a member of the nate, Governor of Mis- sissipp!. and loves distinction; but of late years he bas been left bigh and dry among the drift- wood thrown ashore by the winds and waves of the stormy sea of politics. He was_a fire-eater, be was a compromise man, he has been s Know Nothing; but be now appears ready for almost anything that will defeat Lincoln and Breckin- ridge. or kill off the black republicans aad punish Mr. hanan at the same time. Bat, with thie double mission on his hands, the labors of General Foote are worse tha useless. He foments discord where he should preach harmony. Does he imagine that he is working to defeat Lincoln in denouncing Mr. B nas another Tiberius, and bie adminis. tration as an “intolerable despotiem!™” Or can he suppose that the cause of Mr. Douglas is strengthened by denouncing Caleb Cushing as ‘the synonyme of treachery and corruption” — ‘as corrupt © man as the world h een;” and Jobn Stidell as “a low manager—a trickster It evident that the personal grievances of General Foote as a politician are too much for bis discretion as an advocate, and that, like Governor Wise, of Virginia, though terrible as an enemy, he is not safe as a friend from his babit, whea least expected, of dying off the handle, At all events, our readers. from the speeches in question, will perceive that the Douglas campaign in the North waxes hot and pungent; that the politicians concerned are beginning to tell tales out of school; and that the prospect is that before our Douglas democrats and Breck- inridge democrats will have settled the’ differences among themselves. “Old Abe L coln” will have chopped off all their heads within his reach, from Cape Cod to Califoraia Then we shall, perhaps, have a new shulle of the pack anda reconstruction of parties, which ever in © will caat all our managing politicians of ¢he day high and dry on the beach. This democratic explosion is but the begia- ning of a new order of things; and they who sow the seeds of a political revolution, history tells us, are seldom among those who reap the harvest. Tas Gerat Eastern Excerement Dying Ovr.—One of the most forcible illustrations of the mutability of the public mind, and the ra- pidity with which great popular excitements die out, is furnished by the case of the Great Eastern. Few events have ever occurred in New York which called forth a heartier demon- stration of enthusiasm than the arrival of the monster ship in our harbor. The people turned out in thousands from every quarter of the city when her coming was announced, and guve ber an impromptu ovation when she made her appearance steaming up the bay. While she lay at our wharves not less than a hundred and fifty thousand people visited her, and they came from all points, by railroad and steamboat, to enjoy the privilege of examining her immense proportions. On her first excursion in Ame- rican waters, to Cape May, on Monday last, fully a hundred thousand people witnessed her departure. Along the whole line, from her moorings to the Battery, the piers and shipping and housetops were crowded with eager spec- tators; guns thundered from all sides, and o fleet of steamers and boats of every size and rig accompanied her; while every available spot on the Long Island shore and on Staten Island vas darkened with groups of admiring visitants, Nothing could exceed the excite- ment of that day. But with her departure, amid all this enthe- siasm, public curiosity seemed to have died out; the Great Eastern seusation was evidently over; for when she returned, in two days afterwards, she regained her moorings without the least display on the part of the people. Few knew that sbe had returned at all, and still fewer ap- peared to care whether she had or not Yesterday she made her second excursion. starting for Annapolis Roads, whither she goes at the earnest solicitation of ow Southera neighbors, who offered the directors thé hand- some inducement of $15,000 worth of coal for ber homeward voyage. in order to give the citizens of the sleepy city of Annapolis and Baltimore, Norfolk, Washington and the adja- cent places, an opportunity to gladden their eyes with a sight of the monster of the deep. A very peculiar and characteristically American ar- rangement it was, too. The sailing of the bigehip yesterday presented a remarkable contrast to the scene of Monday, or to that of her first arrival. There was literally no excitement oa the occa- sion. She took only one hundred passengers, instead of two thousand who went on her to Cape May, and these were principally South- erners, who took this novel mode of going home. There were not more than about two hundred people on the pier to witness her departure; no fleet of excursion boats accompanied her, and altogether the affair was perfectly flat and de- void of all enthusiasm. This is certainly a striking evidence of the sudden decline of the Great Eastern sensation. AcoriceitoraL Fams.—Within a few years past the agricultural interests of the country bave been greatly aided DY tie weaus uf agri- cultural fairs and shows, at which not only the products of the field, cereal and vegetable, and horses and cattle, have been exhibited to the public, but every new invention connected with cultivation has been brought to the notice of the farmer. Not alone have we our great national fair, but we have also our State fairs, county fairs, and even town fairs, in every quarter of the Union. The value of exhibitions of this charac- ter cannot be over appreciated. They are more instrumental in spreading a knowledge of agri- cultural science, as well as creating a generous rivalry among our farmers, than any other means which could be adopted. The finest breed of horses, the best cattle and sheep, the rarest poultry, and the richest specimens of grain, green crops and fruits, are always to be found at these fairs. The amount of money expended upon them, for prizes and for getting them up, cannot fall short of from half a mil- lion to a million of dollars annuaily. This subject is recalled to mind just now by the fact that we have received an invitation to the Indiana Agricultural State Fair, to be held in the city of Indianapolis on the 15th of Octeber, at which premiums to the amount of $12,000 are offered by the Board. It is proba- ble that all the sgricultural fairs this year will receive a greatly increased interest, and will attract a more numerous attendance than ever, in consequence of the extraordinary abundance of the crops. The farmers are elated at the prospect of the harvest, they feel rich in ad vance in contemplation of their well stored garners, ond Will, a0 doubt, visit the fairs in much larger numbers than usual. Tus Gasat Easteun Excvnsios.—There is a great deal of talking and grombliog about the city concerning the discomforts of the ex- cursionists on the recent trip of the Great Fastern to Cape May; and, doubtless, with ‘ reason. The truth is that Englishmen do derstand how to get up aa excursion on the American plan; and, therefore. those who had this trip in charge failed to give sutisfac- tion. [xeurstor® are a speciality in this coua- try, and hence we know exactly how to conduct them to suit the habits and expectations of our people. In this country, and especially to New York, those who go on a steamboat ex- eursion expect to find all the comforts and conreniences of a home, and they are rarely, if ever, diseppointed; but in England an ex- ion is looked mpon ss a rough and tumble affair at best--a kind of scramble, full of dis- comfort, but, at the same time, not destitute of fu There ¢ no doubt that in the present cate the purveyor of the Great Eastern was no twore fit for the duties he undertook than that mythical individwal, the Man in the Moon; and ic eppears that the directors themselves, as well as the excursionists, were the victims of his ia- competency. Had the catering of the vessel been in the bands of any of our hotel keepers, | there would have been abundance of every- | thing, aad a discipline among the servants that would bave Insured plenty and comfort in the eating department at all events. With regard to the sleeping arrangements, it may be re- morked that only eight hundred people were to be provided for on Monday morning—the re- maining twelve hundred, who comprised the passengers, having purchased their tickets durieg that day; aad it iy co easy matter to NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, AUGUST 3, 1860. provide sleeping accommodations for a aurplus of twelve hundred et a few hours’ motice. Moreover, it was anuounced from the firm that there was only stateroom sccommodatioa oa board for six hundred people. However, no matter what fault finding there may be with the arrangements for comfon oa board, there appears to be but one opinion with regard to the officers of the ship. They did their duty well and faithfully, and eo did the ehip herself. The responsibility of the failure to entertain the passengers properly rests upon the purveyor, who had no idea of what excur- sioniste require in this country, who are willing to pay any price for decent accommodations, but who will certainly grumble most fright- fully if they do not get them. Convention with Costa Rica.—A special bearer of despatches from Hon. Alexander Dimitry, Minister to Costa Rica, arrived here in the steamer yesterday from Aspinwall, with the Convention lately concluded with President Montealegre for the settlement, by a joint com- mission, to sit at Wasbington, of the claims of our citizens against the government of Costa Rica. We learn that the Convention was con- cluded on the Sd of July, sent to the Congress at San José on the 6th, and approved by that body on the llth of the same month. This prom, tion on the part of the government of Costa Rica presents an example worthy of imi- tation by our own Congress. It is stated that the claima presented amount, on their face, to very nearly six bundred thousand doliars. The readiness with which Mr. Dimitry has obtained this convention for the examination and settle- ment of these claims, shows the propriety of our government sending a person as Minister who is something more than a professional politi- cian, and the example could be imitated with advantage ia some of the other Spanish Ameri- can republics. Tue Sraten Istanp Ferry.—We believe it is now arranged that an opposition ferry is to be run to Staten Island, and we can hardly con- ceive a greater blessing which could be be- stowed upon the people of New York. On the present ferry, conducted as it is, there is no safety for human life for a single hour; and some time or other—some Sunday, or Fourth of July, or grand celebration day—there will be a catastrophe on one of these boats that will appal the entire community. They habitually run crowded beyond their capacity, and there are no visible means on board of saving a soli- tary life in case of any accident occurring. * The sooner some other mode of conveyance to Staten Island is adopted the better for the safety of the community.
