some time, observe tho trick by which their

Death Of a Rich Couvic. and Foreer

man 70 years of age died on Friday nigh,
last in the Indiana peuitentiary at Jefferson
vile, of an Affection Of the heart, having por.
formed, on the day previous to his death, his
allotted task in apparent good health. He
leaves a property valued at 100000, and was
incarccra,ed for the period Of two years for the
crime of forgery to the amount of $25! The
old chap was miserly in the extreme, denying
to himself the smallest luxury beyond the
prison fare of bread and water and beefs head
broth.
At the time of his arrest for the alleged Tor
gerry he was rendered counsel, who pledged
them selves TO clear hin of the charge for .
foe of $500 To this the old man replied;
that "if convicted. the sentence would only be
for ttco uears, and no didn't think he could
make his expenses and two hundred and fifty
dollars year on. Of the penitentiary, and II
would cost him nothing to live there, and hs
would save that much. any howl"

THINK FOR YOURSELF Respect no doctrine
on account of its ago or the numbers who bo-
lieve in it. The piecept Of the apostle, Prove
all things, hold fast that which is good, is now
beginning to be understood. respected, and
obeyed. Reject no doctrine because it is yet
new, and its teachers have their fame yet TO
acquire or because it has not the influence Of
numbers to support it. A man should look
back upon the wrongs, fasehoods, and errors
of the past. as ho looks upon the folles and
mistakes of his own childhood and youth
They are not to bo revorod or repeated. The
past has its lessons; but it teaches US, for the
most part, what 10 avoid.

Mr.. President, and Gentlemen o. the Copvea
| tioa:
know full well that 1t Is because Of nc
| special merit or worth of mine that you have
| honored mo with the nomination which has
been announced To me by your committee
and il is the knowledge which exceedingly en-.
hances my sense of the honor conferred, and
oil the responsibilities which it imposes. Ohio
has many citizens bottor fitted for the position
| in which you would place me. and botier quail
| io1 10 bear aloft the standard of freedom du
ring the approaching political contest. Con-
ceding, however, ns do most cheerfully, to
others superior abilities and better judgments
| yield to no one in sincere devotion 10 the
great principles which you have this day pro.
nulgated.
On many public questions not now directly
| in issue have had occasion heretofore 10 ex-
press my opinions in various forms. Those
opinions remain of record and unchanged.
On the great issues now before the people,
my opinions are expressed in tho platform you
have this day adopted.
The independence aud sovereignty of the
State. in her legislation and judiciary, must be
asserted aad maintained.
The spread OF slavery, under all circumstan
ces. and at all times, must be inflexibly ross-
ted.
Slavery in the Territories must be prohibi-
ted by law.
On this point there is the most pressing need
of union and resolution. Kansas must be
saved from Slavery by tho Free States.
1t was my fortune to bear some humble part
in the memorable struggle which issued in tho
repeal Of tho Missouri prohibition. Upon
that occasion, though among the mos. deter
mised opponents of the Compromise of 1850,
| declared IN my place that was ready 10
stand shoulder to shoulder with the supper
tiers ofthose Compromises. now Justly incen-
sed by that violation of plighted faith, for the
redress of that last and greatest wrong.
In this spirit am prepared to act to-day.
Side by-sido with all men who are willing to
unite with me for the defence of Freedom, l
am ready TO contend to that last for the rescue
Of he Terri ories from Slavery.
would do no injustice to the Slave States.
All rights guaranteed to them by the eousti-
tuition should be fully and cheerfuly CONGO
ded. Whatever can be eonstitutioually done
By the National Legislature to promote their
progress and improvement. should be unhes-
itatngly and ungrudgingly done.
We should insist only that, outside OF Slave
States, wo shall not be responsible for the
maintenance of Slavery: and that the just and
constitutional influence Of the General Govern
mcnt shall be exerted on the side of Liberty.
The question of Slavery in the States may
then be safely left to tho States themselves
The humanity, the Justice, the Wisdom of the
people will, l trust so dispose of it, that in tho
not far distant future day will come when the
Sun, in all his course over our broad land,
from tho Atlantic to the Pacific, hall not bo-
hold o slave.
