by tbs action of Congress, and everv de-
partment of the government, so far as any
constitutional question can be settled in this
way. In the acts of organization of every
territory in the northwest, Congress spe-
cially legislated for the exclusion Of slavery,
and TO presume that Cass had no knowledge
of the Constitutional bearings of the cues
tion,untl he re-afirmation of the doctrine bv
Congress IN the Oregon bill is to presume
that he lacked even ordinary intelligence;
and the fact that in the face Of the repeated
action of Congress, which had settled the
consiItutlonallty of the question so far as
precedent could settle it, he deliberately as
sumed the ground that there was no grant
OF power IN the Constitution which autho-
rlzed Congress to legislate on the subject,
is eUtdence evidence conclusive that he
must have thoroughly examined the con-
stItuton with reference to that point, and is
prepared 10 maintain himself in that posi-
tIon, or that he beied his real sentiment for
the purpose of gaining the favor and support
oil the South. If the first, it is of course
not safe TO trust him, and if the last he is
not worthy TO be trusted.
The effort of the speaker to exhume the
old party issues, bank, tariff and the like,
was melancholy one, and showed only
the extremity TO which he was reduced for
something to back up the claims of his can
dldate upon the support of the true democ-
racy. We sympathized with him in his
evident distress; and were it not that it is
at all times unpleasant TO have man ex
hlbit himself to his own disadvantage if not
disgrace, | should think it would be advisa-
bic to put Mr.. Lynde under free soil pay
70 speak for Cass. O.

O'Conncrs Appeal to srish.nen.

We conclude, by conlurlng you and all
other Irishmen in America, in the name OF
Jour fatherland-in the name of humanity
in the name of the God ofmercy and cha
rity-we conjure you, Irishmen and descen-
dants Of Irlshmen, to abandon forever all de-
fence of the hideous negro slavery system.
Let it no more be said that ycur FEELINGS are
made so obtuse by the air OF America that
YOU cannot feel as Catholics and Christians
ought to feel, this truth-this plain truth
THAT ONE MAN CANNOT HAVE ANY PROPERTY
IN ANOTHER MAN. There is not one of you
who does not recognize that principle in his
own person yet we perceive-and this ag-
onlZes us almost to madness, that yOu, bOas.
ting an Irish descent, should without the
lnsIlgatlon of any pecunlary or interested
motive, but out of the sheer and single love
OF wickedness and crime, come forward as
the volunteer defenders of the most degra-
ding species of human slavery. Woe WOE!
woe
There is one consolation still, amid the
pulsations of,our hearts there are, there
must be genuine Irishmen IN Amerlca-men
of sound heads ard Irish hearts, who will
assist US to wipe off the foul stain that Lord
Morpeth's proven charge has inflicted on
the Irish character-who will hold out the
hand of fellowship, with u heart in that hand
to every honest man, of every caste and col
or, who will sustain the cause of humanity
and honor, and scorn the paltry advocates
of slavery-who will show that the Irish
heart in America is rs benevolent and rs re-
plete with charitable emotions, as Ill any
other cline on the face of the earth.
We conclude. The spirit of democratic
liberty is defiled by the continuance of ne
GRO slavery III the Uni.e>i o.-->~~' I'll Uni
ted States themselves are degraded below
the most uncivilized nations, by the afro.
cious Inconsistency of talking of liberty and
practcing tyranny in lis worst shape. The
Americans attempt to palliae their lnlqulty
by the futile excuse of personal interest =
but the Irish, who have mol even that futile
excuse, and yet justify slavery are utterly
indefenslble.
Once again, and for the last time, we call
upon YOU to come out of the councils of the
slave owners, and at all events to free your
selves from participating in their guilt.
lrishmen, | call on you to join in crush
ing slavery, and in giving liberty to every
man, of every caste, creed, and color.

Mr.. Lyndc'S Speech.

Ma Enron. | listened to MIR Lynde speech
he other evening IN defence ol himself and Mr..
Cass and must confess, although prepared to hear
many Sophi>ucal and absurd statements, was
somewhat surprised the naked character OF some
Of the assumptions made and that the speaker
should be willing TO place himself amt his presdcn-
tai candidate IN 50 ridiculous and Glshonorab,e a
position.
In the first place he didn I believe that Mr.. Cas-
wa, pledged to anything by his Nicholson letter
Ii was = pirate eplsllc, and written 10 a PrirWe
gentleman. but not intended To be co4Fde'HmL
Therefore. Mr. Cass in case OF ms election, (n"t
Wr,h>tanding as every body knew, II "as this let
rrvmch gave hira the confidence OF the South.
and saved his nomination will not be bound by any
ol ms pledges in that letter. Here is sublime
specimen OF morality. Mr. Cass obtained ms
nomination by tr0ud and intends 10 cheat those
who nominated him It elected and thus Is urged as
argument IN favor OF MIR. CaSS n the north.
In the second place, Mr.. Cass had undoubtedly
hanged his views | regard 10 the Constitutional
power of Congress over the question OF slavery
When tins gentleman wrote his Nicholson letter,
there hl,nt been much light thrown on the ques-
ton, and II Was only after the great discussion at
the close OF the late session ct Congress that he
"Ith northern statesmen generally, became en-
lshtened on the subject, and now MIR {. would
unQue.tionably he prepared II ;he people desired II
20 sanction the Nllmot proNI>o Why, II Mr., {.
b4i changed his views hc cou)dn ttnoTm the pub
lc aud thus remove all doubts on the subject, and
place himself IN night position, the speaker
~ouldut pretend 10 say. lie couirnted himself
with mere naked assertions, while evidence was
produced that Mr. ta>S opinion Was the result "a
lair inference from hIs own ,auSuISc) OF an lu'es
legation OF the Constitution, and set trt Co"r''i'"
that rs late SIN months ago he had reiterated
the doctrines OF his Nicholson letter, and that there

MIR. FINCH.

To show the consistency Of Mr.. Finch,
the Taylor candidate for congress, we will
state two facts:
/. Last year he elccticneered for MIR.
Lynde.
,. This fall, just before Mr.. Codding
left for his tour, he said to- him-"Coddng,
if you will carry this State for Van Buren, |
will give you $50.
We now make this proposition TO Mr.
Finch: If he will hand over 10 us the 800,
we will expend every cent of IT in crcula-
ting Van Buren, documents, and if Van Blu
rem does not get the electoral vote OF this
State, we will pay back to him 500 the day
after the question is officially decided.

w. L. LYNDE & THE PRESIDENTS
VETO.

Our unvarnished statement Of Mr.. Lynde's
vote on the River and Harbor Res olutions.
the Wisconsin does not deny, or aitemptto
answer, but simply calls ii" abuse"
We now give the resolutions and votes
from the record.
"ResOiUed, That the constitution of the
United States vests in Congress the power
TO appropriate money to open and improve
harbors, and remove distractions from nav
gable rivers, in all cases where such improve
ments are necessary to the protection and fa-
cllity OF commerce with foreign nations or
the commerce among the states.
The SPEAKER row stated the question
to be on agreeing to the second of said reso-
lutions, viz:
" ResOLUed, That the interests of our ma
tonal commerce, the common defence, and
general welfare Of the United States require
aJndicious exercise ofthe foregoing powers
On the first resolution, the yeas and nays
were not taken, so that we are not able to
say positively that he voted for it, though we
have understood that he did.
On the second resolution the yeas and
nays were taken on motion Of Mr. Went
worth, Of ILL.,, and Mr.. Lynde voted Yea.
1.-The question was stated on the third res
olutlon, viz:
RESOLVED, That the reasons assigned by
the President in his veto message of Deem
Der 5, 1917, for his refusal to approve and
sign the bill passed March 3, ls47. making
appropriations for the improvement of GER
tain harbors and rivers, are deemed INSULT
cient and unsatisfactory.
The yeas and nays were ordered and
taken on agreeing TO the third resolution and
resulted as follows:
YEAS-9I.
NAYS~7I, (Mr. LYNDE voting in
the negatiUe.)
Mr.. Lyndc, it is demonstrated from the
record, voted to sustain President Folks
River and Harbor veto voted at first for
and afterwards against River and Harbor
improvements, just as Cass was at first J0r
the Wilmot Provso ,and afterwards against
it. Both of them having learned obedience
to their Southern masters.
The question was stated on the fourth
resolution, viz:
" RESOLVED, That it would be inexpedient
and contrary to the principles of the constl-
tuition, to give the general consent of Con-
gress in advance of Legislation by the
States, to the imposition Of tonnage duties
by the several States as a means of mpro-
wing the ports and harbors at which such
duties may be levied.
"The yeas and nays were ordered and
taken on agreeing thereto, and Mr.. Lynde
lodged the vote.
The above is true history Of Mr..
Lynde's course in regard to River and IIar-
Dor improvements, and we have no reason
to suppose that he wouldnot support Cass's
veto of the Wilmot Proviso.
There can be no greater abuse of Mr..
Lynde, in the Wisconsn's estimation. than
to tell the truth of him. Barnburner.

The Albany Argus publishes the follow
ing letter from Richmond, Va. The state
ments of Gen. Taylor's opinions. the sub
unanimous testimony of his personal and
political friends at the South:
RICHMOND, Va, October / 6.
Dear Sr:-In political discussion. a
few days ago in orange county, Va, Doc
ter Pannill, the wing county elector, read 4
letter from Gen Taylor, in relation to his
opinion respecting the Wilmot proviso.-
which tc.s decidedly against that meas
IRE. DR.. Pannill was called upon by the
Richmond Enquirer for copy Of the lei
ter, but declined furnishing it. The dem
ocralic speaker young man of high char
acter and intelligence, at the meeting, heard
the letter read, and gives the following as
its substance:
1.-The letter from Gen. Taylor is of re-
cent date, and acknowledges the receipt OF
a communication from DR.. pannill, IN
which he, Gen. Taylor, is informed that
democratic speakers are endeavorlng to
make it appear from his letter TO the Signal
that if elected President he would favor the
proviso. Enclosed by Gen. Taylor in this
letter, was slip from some newspaper. con-
tanning his views as expressed in letter to
some gentleman in Alabama, and explana-
Tory of his Signal letter, in which eXpIana-
ton he denies positively that he intended to
commit himself to that measure, and then,
in his letter TO the Doctor, he goes on TO say
that ifatier this, and The many other pub
lie evidences Of has hostility to that meas
IRE, to say nothing Of his extreme South
ern location, and the fact thathe occns some
one hundred ,Oorking slares, there are
those whO ociN yet persist IN saying that
he ,Oould favor 1t, then he must despair q
setting them right, and leare them 10 their
consciences and their God."

His name stands so recorded on the Record

Association was organized March lst,
1914, and Mr.. Finch was one OF the Wee
Presidents, and DR.. Huebschmann one OF
the Executive Committee. We give the
following extracts from the official record,
to show that Mr.. Finch, Senator Walker,
and Dr. Huebschmann, came out Pnbhcly
and abandoned the old parties IN lo4l, and
united with the Liberty party:
Whereas, the necessity of mutual and
determined political action, for the over
throw of Slavery, by peaceable and consll-
tutional means, is every where acknowl>

And whereas, the odioUs system is shell

but thorough change in the administration
of the general government
And whereas, we have no reason to OK

PENNSYLVANIA has elected whig Cover
nor by a very small majority-375 in vote
of perhaps 100000. Legislature, wing
majority on joint ballot.
In Ohio, Ford is elected by about 800
majority.
Florida, whig by small majority.
Two things are settled: Taylor can't get
Ohio, nor Cass Pennsylvania. 1t Van Bu-
rem doesn't get them, Cass will carry ONO,
and Taylor Pennsy lvanla.
New York will 60 for Van Buren, or
Taylor.
Vermont is sure for Van Buren,.
Cass has no chance of an election by the
people. If Taylor is not chosen by the po-
pular vote the election goes to the House.
Cass stands no chance OF carrying lhis
State. There is no confidence whatever TO
be put in the Wisconsin ; statements onthe
subject. None but dupe or knave will
promise this State to Cass. We may be
deceived, but we tcel confident Wisconsin
will 90 for Van Buren,. Ii 1t does not II
will 90 for Tavlor. Some Democrats, we
know not how many, Will vote Tor Taylor
We can't see that they will gam or lose
anything by it.
Every vote given for Cass, in Wiscon-
sin, is a vote hrotgn Cjcdy, and might just
as well be given TO Taylor.
Every vote for Van Buren, IS vote CIV

One ding more: When Ibis election Is
