BARKER, with all his candog, kept il the
background tile fact that those who are
in the Republican ranks came there afe.
giving up their old organization. There
was no bargain with them as an organi.
cation. They gave up Know Nothing
ism, and came clear over TO Republican
ground. On the other hand, those who

organization, and for a price. They vote
for twenty-five Douglas electors in con
sideration of the Douglasiles voting for
ten Know Nothing electors. There is a
mutual bargain and sale, between two
distinct organizations, each helping the
other Nothing Of the kind is seen in
the Republican ranks, and Mr.. BARKER,
as was plainly evident felt the distinc-
lion.
These were all the prominent points
Of Mr.. BARRIERS speech. He followed
the usual current of Democratic talk,
and deprecated the evils Of a dissolution
of the Union, in that connection making
a very good argument against the De-
mocracy, which is the only party propo
sing such an absurdily. He touched
upon the morality Of the slavery ques-
ton, and asserted that the sin or evil OF.
slavery depended upon circumstances.
Ii the negro was better cared for physic
ally in slavery than il his own land, lie
thought the system neither a sin or an
evil, 1t is seen, therefrom, that Mr.. /
BARKER is square over on to the ground
which Democrats are fast taking, that

Of slavery from the territories. To dis.
prove this lie quotes resolution against
