= From the Cleveland ucraM, letb.]
It had been arranged that Senator Pngh, Of
Ohio. for the Democrats, and Senator Trumoui,
Of Illinois. for the Republicans, should hare a
given by the friends Of Push. That gentleman
did not" come up to the SCRATCH" His friends
said 4heF Aal-telegrapbed to him afl oEer fhe
State, but could mol fhd dim. He was probably
where hc certainly would hare been after the
proposed discussion-nopaere.
Senator Trumbull spoke in the erenng at tue
Me1odeon.s The house WIS crowded to It's Ut,

an entrance. Judge Tiden tookit Chair and
introduced the speaker,
Senator Trumbull said he was happy at the
thought Of appearing before IN Ohio audience
though he had no new doctrines Or principles Of
government to cxpound. We alwosa look to
Ohio IS the Enpise State Of the Wcst---as the
State that has taken the lead in defence Of hu.
man rjghts--as the principal bplwark against
the entertainments OF slavery.
The present political parties ct The country
are of recent origin. Neither dates back more
tlau five Jears. This is as true Of the so-called
Democratic party az it is Of the Republican
party. The principles now held BY the Repub-
licans are not new principles; IneJ hase % e.
under different uames. In the dsys Of Jeaer-
son they were called Republican; in The days |
ofJackson they became Democratic; in TIE days |
of Pierce and Buchanan they are called Nepuo- |
licau. Names are Of no account. Principles
ere eeverything.
to matters OF finance, to protective tariffs, and
to the United States Banks. Ii 1854 all Tins
was thauged, and the great question became one
OF Freedom or Slavery. On this question alone
are the present grent parties constructed. The
Democratic party requires no other test than
Ibis. Old NAigs, who still subscribe to the
Henry Ctay doctrines CD Tariff md Finance. if
tbey only agree to the kankas; Nebraska Act
and the spE cad. Of slavery. become born anew,
and urc good reliable Democrats The Demo-
cratic Church has wide open doors All sorts
with one little obligation. There are no Thirty
nine Articles to subscribe to. Only confess Jonr
| faith in the Kansas Nebraska act, aud you BE-

The primary question between ne t~o par.
| FREE mud SO form Free Stales, or whether they.
| should oil be open to the cucroachtnents Of
| slavery, aud eyentuatly become Slaye Stalea.
This is the great point Of dispute! Bnt beyond
this there is apotGer matter. The question tltn
becomes whether or not the Executive power

extensionists. The Democratic party net IN
the affirmative Of this question. For years
wien in power they muje the appointment of
Executive officers With this end in;Tiew.
The policy Of the Republican party is FIRST to
keep the Territories free from slavery: we do
where it is already established BY law. But #
the Republican party were in power VIC should
| expect that our foreign ministers and home
Judges would not endeavor to acquire territory
and interpret laws solely for the Express pur-
pose Of extending. slavery There is b great cry
against the South. The Republican party does
| pot want to do SO. Its design is 70 legislatetor
| the benefit Of the whole country. There ure
only a50,000 shareholders asnong the 5000, 900
white population Of the South, or the 20 eoo, 600
white population Of the whole Union. The par.
ty calling itself Democratic legislates for the
benefit u these $4,000 and against the balance
Of The 10000, 900. Call you This Democracy
1t is building up class at the expense OF tile
nauy. 1t is creating an actua! AEistocracy.
There is some difficulty in defining the exact
doctrines Of the Democratic party, but it appears
/ to be laid down in m article contained III some

and which is attributed to Attorney General
Black, the highest legal officer Of the Admins
