hoped that many thousands Of them will 90

Of Bellevue, are eo-workers 10 these mighty

As the Administration men have been
telling me for the last six years that only
left the Democrats for the sake Of office,
will here State the only cause of our separ-
alton. In tho Baltimore convention that
nominated Frank Pierce, slavery was there
and offered bid for the Democratic party,
and that bid was taken in the sanction Of
the Fugitive Slave law; and tho second
step was the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise act in the Kansas and Nebraska
bill, and to seal all these diabolical acts, in
a Democratic county convention, being a
delegate from York township and as the
convention was opened preparatory to doing
business, in eager haste and not in order, a
Mr.. -- takes the floor and commences
to read set of the most rabid proslavery
resolutions. Then l, in good and true
(Je6ersonian and Jackson) Democratic faith
discarded and denounced the whole pro-
ceedings as anti-democratic, for slavery had
swallowed the last vestage of the true dem
ocratic principles of the party, and stood
aloof from all and any of their acts on the
sure and unerring principles of democracy.
Though then alone l am now surrounded
by all of the Democrats of the then Dem
ocratic party, and by all of the Democrats
of the then Free Soil and the then Wing
party, and am always ready to do battle in
the good cause.
AS have been told so often that l want
Office, l will here state that l would accept
of any of the following, though they must
come in the proper way: Member of Con-
gress, State Senator or Representative, or
some appointment by tho President with a
good paying salary, or Of that honorable
office of Pathmaster, Commissioner, or a
Dircctorship 10 the common school district,
but l don't hardly think would sell my
principles and the free north for $4,000.

where's the pain DcaIer1

The PLAIN Dealer must look to its laurela
if it would continue to tell the biggest sto-
ries and make the most magnificent inven-
tions. The Hon. r. B. Rhelt, ex-member
of Congress from South Carolina, has re-
Gently made speech to his fellow citizens,
and among other marvellous things, has told
them that the Republican candidate for
Vice President is mulatto, and that his
being one, was one of the causes of his nom-
ination at Chicago. Now, this charge has
not yet appeared in the Plain Dealer.-
That paper must be getting Indifferent to
its fame or this would not have been so--
1t must become moro vigilant or some-not
all-that could never be-of the real Nun
chausen stories of the campaign will not ap-
pear 10 its columns.

DEmOoRAOY-A DELUsION-A CHEAT
LIE.

M. P. BEAN.--This man and his paper
and the party to which they belong are well
The man, the paper, tho party,
lies. The truth administered to either
would be more deadly than prussic acid.--
An old Pennsylvania farmer said that ''de-
mocracy without whisky wasn't worth
straw" but modern democracy without ly-
ing would be worth much less. Falsehood
is the only element 10 which it lives. It
perishes without it as a FISH perishes with
out water, The very name democracy" as
applied to either of its quarelng divisions
is a falsehood. Think Of democracy
which denies the Declaration Of Independ-
ence--a democracy that teaches that "black
men have no rights that white men are
bound to respect"--a democracy that be-
lieves in Dred Scott decisions, and bows
down to the despotism Of courts, the mean
est and worst despotism that ever op-
pressed mankind. The favorite adjective
with which democracy delights to fatter
itself, is a lie. 1t delights to call itself ina
tionar-the national democracy, forsooth !
1t has been for years the servant and tool
of the slave power, and yet it is national
1t has in every contest sold the interests of
freedom as Judas sold his master, and yet
it is national 1t has nourished in its bo-
som a set of disunionists more poisonous
than vipers, and yet it is national 1t is
now divided into two contending camps, one
of which is southern, and the other north
ern, and yet it is national
The platform on which the several can
didates of the lying democracy stand are
brazen-faced lies Douglas swears by
popular sovereignty, but it is popular SOW
ereignty subject to a court which made the
Dred Scott decision. He declares that his
principle of popular sovereignty lies at the
foundation of our government, but never
theless promises he will back down from it
at once if the Supreme Court says he must.
Such popular sovereignty is worth less than
democracy without whisky" 1t is a mis-
cradle delusion and cheat. Breckinridge
declares that he and his party do not want
a slave code and arc not disunionists. But
they parted from Douglas and his friends
Just because their lust would not consent to
a slave code, and they embrace in their par
ty or part of party all the men who have
been preaching for disunion, in and out of
congress. In this state of things what can
a poor democrat editor like poor Bean Go
but lie and keep on lying, and take $4,000
whenever he can gctit. He must needs do
so for his cause, for it lives by lies. He
must do it for his candidate, for lies are his
only arguments. He must do it for his plat
form, for every plank and timber is lie.-
He must lie about us, because as we said
before the truth would kill him quicker than
a dose of prussic acid.

nroderick,s Murderer Acquitted.

From what we can learn Of the trial Of
Judge Terry, of California, for the murder
of Senator Broderick, it was but a mockery
of Justice and reflects very little credit on
the Court. San Francisco dates of July
7th by the overland mail and telegraph say,
Judge Terry was yesterday acquitted Of
the offence of killing Senator Broderick in a
duel, by jury in Marion county, under
such circumstances as leave no doubt of a
collusion between the prosecution and de-
fense to produce such result. The wit
nesses 10 establish the guilt of Terry, were
on their way from San Francisco to Marion
in small boat, and they were delayed SO
that they did not reach the Court House
until noon. Judge Hardy opened Court at
o A. NJ. The District Attorney announced
that his witnesses had not made their APP
pcarance. The case went to the Jury with
out word of testimony, and under the
charge of Judge Hardy verdict of acquit-
al was rendered before ten o'clock.

DANIEL S. DIcKINsoN.- of the
Douglas papers Of Ohio are denying that
this gentleman has avowed himselfa friend
to the Breckenridge and Lane ticket, and
one Of the Democratic sheets in this district
states:
awe nre informed by the authority Of gentleman o
this county wen known TO for his veracity who had
personal conversation With gentleman direct from Mr.
friends are working for the Of Mr. Douglas and
will cast their votes for him en- masse."
This informant certainly could not have
been well posted in regard to the senti-
ments ofMr. D., for on the evening of the
10th instant, Breckenridge ratification
meeting was held in Washington city and
was addressed by President Buchanan who
opposes Douglas; letter was read from Mr..
Dickinson from which the following is an
extract:
al will support the nominations Of Breckenridge and
Lane not only because regard them personally and o
licay worthy, but because their nomination emenate,
from the States which give Democratic votes in the
Electoral College, and because they therefore repre-
sentatives of tho Democracy and its priciples.'
And, on Wednesday evening, July 10th
mass Breckenridge and Lane meeting was
held at the Cooper Institute, New York,
where DANIEL s. DICKINSON was one of the
principal speakers, he told the following an.
ecdote as an illustration of the Douglas
strength:
"Some hat-boatmen, descending the Mississippi, IL
rather Jolly mood passed house the shore wher
they fddng and dancing the piazza:-the boa
fell into eddy and In each half hour passed thu
house again, and the boatmen they fddnI

eddy, and had but The Douglas strength is
tmated in the same way"
1t is a matter of very little Importance tC
the Republicans of Ohio or the Union, how
Mr.. D. votes Old Abe will sweep the
Empire State by tens of thousands, and al
combinations formed among the three o.
four other Presidential candidates will prove
just as futile and insane as the attempt t.
dam the waters of Niagara.

ConIenptiblei

A quito number of the Douglas papers
have resorted to the contemplate dodge Of
neglectiug to publish as part of their plat
form the plank added at Baltimore. This
is cowardly trick, which would only be re-
sorted to in the very desperation of certain
defeat. To seek to deceive their readers
by Withholding from them an important
part of the very platform on which they
propose to fight tho pending political bat,
tie, claps the climax Of cowardice.

A wall from tho Plaimdeoier.

The Democrats of Cuyahoga county,
who are determined not tosupport the little
rebel s. A. Douglas, held Convention 10
Cleveland on the goth, and appointed dele
gates to the State Convention, The PLAIN
Dealer thereupon pours out its vials Of
wrath upon these old and tried Democrats
in the following style:

gentlemen have chosen 10 make their bedsa great
relief to the party. wet nursing will Take

hoped that democratic sheets throughout
the country will all follow in the same way.
1t helps to open the eyes of those whohave

Letter from CLYDE.

CLYDE, o., July rs, 1850.
DEAR JoURNAL.-During the past week
nothing very new or startling has transpired
in our midst so far as know. The wealth
er, until yesterday, was quite unsettled,
with frequent showers-rathcr bad for max
ing hay, or gathering wheat. Quite a
large amount of Wheat has been purchased
in our market-mostly at 81 and $1,lo for
red and white-though since this week
came in the price has ranged from 95ct 81.
Last Saturday, P. NJ, our Douglas friends
had time raising pole in our town. The
first effort, like the Charleston Convention,
proved abortive. The timber was too ex-
tensive; it covered too much ground, and
after severe struggle it fell of its own
weight, parting about the middle. The
switch end came down with the rooster on
his back. After cutting down, patching
and resplicing, they finally set it up nearly
to perpendicular, though it is remarked
that it leans directly towards the South.
By the time the thing was fairly accom-
plished, Democratic enthusiasm had pretty
much oozed out, and the feeling was quite
apparent that the breaking of the pole was
rather ominous
Our "Wide-Awakes' have their lamps
and uniform, and last evening met for
drill. They seem quite determined not to
be outdone by their neighbors.

Hon. Lewis D. Campbell, having been

for Congress in the Third District writes to
the Hamilton Inteliigencer that as the

hitherto granted to emigrapts in any of tho

At the last weekly meeting Of the Ger
man Republican Club of Peoria, H., seven
new members signed the Constitution, six
of whom had previously labored with the
Democratic party. A neighboring town
ship, where two years ago the Republicans
cast only IA votes, is now considered good
for so for Lincoln and Hamlin. A man 10
that vicinity, also, who has in his employ
ten men, all Of whom were formerly Demo
Gratis, says that eight Of them, believing
@Old Abe to be the workingman's real
friend, intend to vote for him so thinking,
and not TO be outdone by their neighbors,
they went TO the woods and prepared pole
$50 fsetlong. which they propose 10 erect
10 honor Of their candidates.

Repeating II.

The Ottawa Democrat of Friday starts
off an article headed, "The Sentiments Of
the Press" by repeating the falsehood that
there is not a Democratic paper in Indiana
which has taken position against Douglas
and johnson. The names of no less than
six Democratic papers in Indiana which
support Breckenridge and Lane have been
published within the last two weeks beside
the new campaign paper just started in In
dianapolis which is in their support. WHAT'S
to be gained in such persistence in fslsehood,
is more than we can tell.-Sdn. Reg.

Two years ago Douglas, when so terribly
cramped by Lincoln, in the contest for the
United States Senate, invoked the aid of
Breckenridge, which was extended, ,and may,
for all that is known, have saved Douglas
from defeat. 1t is very ungrateful then
that the Douglas men should now be calling
Breckenridge disunionist. He is dis
uniouist, we imagine, in just so far as he
opposes Douglas.
The New York Herald has finally come
out fat-footed for Breckenridge and Lane,
expressing the belief that they are tho only
candidates in the field who can make a
stand against Lincoln, as they are support
ed By the substantial, conservative Demo-
Gratis of the North, backed by the unbroken
column of the South.
The Washington Republican Association
hold weekly meetings at their rooms, which
arc largely attended and enthusiastic, show
ing wonderful revolution in the Federal
Capital.
The Southern (Miss.) Journal says:-
"The Douglas advocates in this State are
thinning out with perceptible rapidity.-
At tho election in November there will
scarcely be corporals guard left"

When the editor of the Messenger gets
through with his falsehoods in regard to the
editor of this paper, perhaps he can devote
a little time to his candidates for President
and Vice President, and try and reconcile
the difference between Squatter Sovereign
ty Douglas, and Slave Code johnson. 1t
is our opinion the Democracy of Saudusky
county desire tog get some lighton that sub
ject. But if the whole of his valuable time
is to be devoted to ourself, we suppose we
can stand it. We have been gabbled at by
geese, barked at by puppies, and even lied
about by men of as small calibre as M. P.
Bean. With total absence of anything
like good foundation for his political doc
trines, be bolts them squarely, and publish
es the most bald and shameful falsehoods
about us. He can pursue the matter tohis
hearts content, and if it suits him better,
swear to their being true. There is not a
man of whose regard we care straw, who
will think more of him or less of us. We
told Mr.. Bean that every one of those as
sertions were untrue, but it seems he is de-
termined to reyel in falsehood and black
guardism of his own invention. We have
no time or inclination 10 follow in his lead
The $4,000 bribe which he pocketed while
in Washington will pay number of men
to substantiate all he says, provided he can
find those of as easy virtue as himself
