laboring in its behalf, we are proud of being a
co-laborer with them. 81

Characteristic.

The locofoco candidate for Congress
challenged yesterday, at the Third Ward
poll, the vote Of an old gentleman who has
been for many years resident of this city,
and who takes pride in saying that when
George Washington was a candidate for
President, he gave the support of citi-
zen to the man ''frst in war, firstin peace,
and first in the hearts of his countrymen."
Mr. Vallandigham did not, however, ques-
ton Mr. Bottoms right to vote, for the rea-
son that he had voted for Washington,
though that of itself might, to supporter
of Buchanan, seem sufficient cause of chal-
lenge. III.
The modest objection urged by the
thrice beaten aspirant for Congressional
honors, to Mr.. Bottoms vote, was that he
was too old. The old veteran, it seems,
had been in the country so long that he
had out lived his right to vote. Mr.. Val
landigham undoubtedly remembers how
much he owed at the last election to men
who had been in the country from six
month to year. 1t was perfectly natural
that his gratitude to the new comers should
create in him sort of spite to mouldy old
natives who are impudent enough to de-
sire to vote after having been in the eoun-
country seventy, eighty or ninety years.

ID. Campbelps Reply to
MF. Vallandigham
From the Cincinnati Gazette.


1t is believed by all mer in the Third
District that the notice Of intention to con-
test the election of the Hon. L. D. Camp
bell by his defeated competitor, Mr.. Valding-
ham, has been given simply for political eff
feet, and will never be carried into execu-
ton. However much the members of the
administration party regret the defeat of
their candidate by his old and gallant op-
ponent, they have quite too much "proverb-
ial philosophy" to commence throwing
stones from glass houses.
r. Mr.. Campbell did not receive Mr.. VAL
landingham's notice until two or three DAYS
after its appearance in the newspapers-a
fact, which, taken in connection with the
circumstances, that certificate will not be
furnished the successful candidate for near
ly two months, indicates some other aim
in giving so early notice than desire to
comply with the required form Of the law.
On Saturday Mr.. Campbell replied to Mr..
Vallandingham's notice, and it is highly
probable that nothing more will be heard
about that contest after the 4th of Novem-
Der. We subjoin Mr.. CampbelTs reply:

cation touching that "nigger business" some
time after it appeared in the "nuze papers"

me for suggesting that perhaps your deep
anxiety on this subject has occasioned pre-
mature action.
In December next ! shall probably re-
ceive, under the abroad seal' of the State
of Ohio, certificate that the honor of rep
resenting the Sd District in the next Con
gress has been conferred on me by the peo-
Pile. In that event, please observe that
you and the corrupt minions of the present
condemned Administration are not only in
vited but dared to contest my right to the
seat. Should you or they attempt to car
ry out your vaunted designs, promise the
country record Of one of the most corrupt
and disgraceful outrages that has ever been
perpetrated upon the American ballot box.

A FoRGERY.-It appears that the letter pur.
porting to have been written by Secretary
MARCY TO Governor GRIMFs, of Iowa, published
in the Farmer last week, is a forgery. 1t first
appeared in that truthful and honorable sheet
the Ohio Statesman. 1t was, of course, manu-
factured for political effect, and is in perfect
keeping with the course pursued by the social
ed Democratic papers through the campaign
The following contradiction was telegraphed to
the New York Post:
WASHINGTON, Nov. A, 1856.
To the Editor Of the Evening Post:
Sir: l have Just seen in the Evening Post of
Yesterday, letter purporting to be written by
W. L. Marcy, Secretary Of State, and addressed
TO Governor Grimes, Of Iowa. Mr.. Marcy au-
thorizes me TO state that no such letter was ever
written by him, nor any such letter ever issued
from the Department of State. Please make
this statement in your paper.
Very respectfully yours,

The NORTHERN Democracy FROM A
SOUTHERN POINT OF VIEw.-Cool.-The
Charleston Standard of the 28th ult.,
speaking of the Northern Democrats,
says: y E& ~ f
Their only safe guard, they find, is to
say that slavery is right, and for that reason
it ought to be extended as far it will natu-
rally 60. We are glad of this. We felt
from the first that it was the only safe posi-
ton for those North or South to stand on;
and we have known that we have done no
disservice TO democrats at the North by
backing them up, in season and out of sea-
son, to that stand. The reaction is be-
coming so strong in public opinion ali over
the country that we would not be surpris-
ed to find the pro-Slayery party transcend
the limits of the institution, and control the
councils of States where there is no slaves.
If the slave trade was re-opened, Pennsyl-
vania would be with the South in less than
ten years, and we are not certain that she
may not yet assist in re-opening it.

Beautiful Description Of a
Night Scene.

Hon. Edward Everett, in his lecture at
the recent opening of the Dudley Observa-
tory, at Albany, N. Y, said:
had occasion few weeks since to take
the early train from Boston, and for this
purpose rose at two o'clock in the morning.
Everything around was wrapped in silence,
broke only by what seemed at that hour
the unearthly clank and rush of the train.
1t was mild, serene mid-summer's night,
the sky was without cloud, the winds whist
The moon then in the last quarter had Just
risen, and the stars shone with spectral
lustre, but little affected by her presence.
Jupiter then two hours high, was the her
aid of the day; the Pleiades, just above the
horizon, shed their sweet influences in the
East; Lyra sparkled near the zenith; An
dromeda veiled her newly discovered glories
from the naked eye in the South, the steady
pointers, far beneath the pole, looked meek
ly up from the depths of the North to their
Sovereign
Such was the glorious spectacle as I en-
tered the train. As we proceeded, the tim
III aPprodch oI tNiilSht became more per
| ceptible; tie intense blue of the sky began
to soften; the smaller stars, like little chill
dren, went first to rest; the sister beams of
he Pleiades soon melted together: but the
bright consultations of the west and north
remained unchanged. Steadily the won
drous TRANSPORTATION went on. Hands of
angels hidden from mortal eyes shifted the
scenery of heaven; the glories of night
dissolved into the glories of dawn. The
blue sky now turned more softly gray, the
great watch stars shut up their holy eyes;
the east began 10 kindle. Faint streaks of
purple soon blushed along the sky, the
whole celestial concave was filled with the
inflowing tides of the morning light, which
came pouring down from above in one great
ocean of radiance; till at length. as we
reached the Blue Hills, flash of purple
fire blazed out from above the horizon, and
turned the dewy tear drops of flowers and
leaf into rubies and diamonds. In a few
seconds the everlasting gates of The morn
ing were thrown wide open, and the lord
of day, arayed in glories too severe for the
gaze of man, began his course.

The DAY OF AToNEMENT.-Thursday
was the day of Atonement, the most sacred
day of the whole year to the Hebrews, a
day of fasting and prayer and one upon
which it is believed remissions of sins are
granted. Ofold it was the custom of the
children of Israel from all parts of Pales-
tine to HE on this day to the Holy City
Jerusalem, and in the temple make offer
ings and be cleansed of their sins and er-
rors' 1t Is universally observed through
out the world by the Jews. In this city all
their places OF business were closed and
the 'wo synagogues were crowded from the
hrst gray dawn to the time of blowing the
cornet' Just as the silver orbs of night be-
gan to light up the dark vault of heaven

DEATH OF JOHN M. CLAYroN-An-
other of the strong men of the nation has
fallen. Mr.. Clayton has been long and pro-
minently in public life, many years in the
Senate of the United States, and was Sec
retary of State under Gen. Taylor. He
was man of giant mind and physical pro-
portions, an able debater, an accomplished
statesman, and a gentleman of the old
school.
The Democrats having carried the Leg
islature of Delaware, they will be able not
only to re-eleet Mr.. Bayard to the Senate,
but successor to Mr.. Clayton.

The lean victories of the Buchaniers in
Pennsylvania and Indiana, have revived
the spirits of the Slavery Extensionists
and the prospect for the election of Buch-
anan, which they claim to see in these vic
tories, has stimulated their hopes so that
the future of Slavery looks bright and
cheering.

That will afford us at least four years
for the discussion of the subject Of African
slavery. A great reaction has certainly
commenced on the whole subject of fdomes-
tic slavery throughout Christendom. All
admit that West India emancipation has
been worse than a failure. 1t has injured
the moral, religious and intellectual con-
dition of the negro, and greatly diminished
the production of such necessaries of life as
coffee, sugar, DC. Men in Europe and
America begin to attempt to calculate the
consequence to the civilized world of the
total obolition of negro slavery. The facts
and data for the basis of such calculation
is abundant. The loss of the cotton, su-
gar and rice crops, now produced by negro
slavery, would itself PROSTATE in great
measure, every industrial interest in Chris
tendon, break up commerce, and starve
one half the laboring whites. The very
existence of society, in great part of Eu-
rope and America, seems to depend en- the
continuance of this Institution. Take away
the products of negro slavery, and these
societies would at once be disorganized
and disbanded, and soon starve. .f zaa57
As the discussion advances, the North
will perceive that the profits and the eleva-
ting social effects Of Slavery, are shared
equally by the Slave owners and those who
trade with them. The white laborers of
England and the North, now employed in
skillful mechanical and well paid labor,
must descend to the toilsome, ill-paid
drudgery of agricultural hirelings, in the
absence of negro slavery. They would no
longer find employment in their present
occupations, and would only be needed to
do that work which negroes had ceased to
do. The emancipation of the blacks is
equivalent to the enslavement of whites.
The cruelty of compelling white men to
labor in the cotton, sugar and rice helds, Is
greater than that of the African slave

That constituency have spoken in thunder

Cass obey this "sober second though" and
obey this overwhelming condemnation of
