m. po.,t,on OF Political Parties.

Those of our citizens who heard the inree
Breckinridge speeches Of Messrs. Gwin,
Tilford and Searls, last Saturday exenlng'
and the three Lincoln speeches of Messrs.
Stanford, Weeks and Sargent, on Tuesday
evening, could scarcely fail to have noticed
a remarkable coincidence in the positions
assumed by all those speakers, which the
wbele tenor of their speeches proved to be
faIse. They asserted that the real contest
was between Lincoln and Breckprldge-
that Douglas represented no principles and
was out of the fight-and then devoted
their time almost exclusively to the abuse
of Douglas, and endeavored by misrepre-
sentation to prove that his principles were
unsound. If the contest is really between
Breckenridge and Lincoln, as the Secession
lists and Republicans claim, why is 1t that
the champions of those parties have SO little
to say against each other? and 1t Douglas Is
out of the field, why are all of the big guns
of both the parties eveled against MIN ana
bis supporters? The fact is, there is no
contest between the supporters Of Breck-
inridge and Lincoln. They are both sec
tiOnal candidates; each is running 10 his
own section; Breckenridge does not hope to
carry single northern State, nor Lincoln
one southern State, consequently they have
no cause to 6ght each other But both the
sectional parties agree in making war upon
Douglas, because, as the s!andard-bearer of
the Democracy. he is the recognized oppo.
nent Of one party in every northern State,
and of the other party in every southern
State. When the Lincoln aud Breckenridge
orators assert that the contest is between
their candidates, they state what they vir-
tually admit by their speeches to be false
hood.

JOIN FORSYTH on THE Dissolution OF THE
UNION.-Wm. f. Stanford, a pestferous fire.
eating leader 10 Alabama, has written let
ter to John Forsyth, editor of the Mobile
Register, the leading Democratic paper in
that State, inquirng Of him what he will do
if Lincoln is chosen President. Mr.. Forsyth
responds as follows:
1T is briefly this: If Black Republican
should be elected by purely sectional
vote, the South resisting aud the Northern
ers uniting aga nst us, this is no Union for
Shareholders to live in. should 'go' with
Mr.. Yancey for its disruption. halter or no
halter But, if in spite of the loyal efforts
of million and half Of Northern Demo-
Gratis, who stand fast to the regular nomi-
nees of the National Democracy against the
Chicago nominees, the latter are elected
through the deliberate boiling and tFeach.
cry of the men at the South who claim to
be its champions par excellence, then say
the case not only does not justify rebellion,
but these champions as the author of the
calamity, should be held first as traitors to
the South, and second as traitors to the
Government, for taking advantage Of their
own wrong they rebel; and in both cases
should deserve TO be hung as high as Ha-
man."

DOUGLAS SToCK ADvAHoINe.-From all
quarters Of the county, we have most posi-

sues presented, on the part of the masses.

A BITTER REBUKE-A little more than
one year ago, Gen. Lane, "dres'. in q little
brief authority" removed Col. Nesmith
from the office of Superintendent of 1ndian
Affairs because he would not swear per-

to his (Lane's) aggrandizement at the ex-
pense of the democratic party. Now, Col.

PERSONA

The last Cedar Dcm9cru' contains a
communication signed, "Anti- Corruc.
tion," which contains the following
IS. S. Daniels said that If Lincoln was
not elected by the people, and the cleo
tion went into the House of Representa-
tives, the Republicans would bride
enough of the Representatives in Con
gress, to elect Old Abe. ;" We would
say that 5. S. Daniels never said any
such thing, and the party that has to re-
sort to such tricks, must be hard UP
The Democrats give US credit for more
influence than VIC claim. As cheap as
Democrats sell themselves now days, We
had not supposed that VIC had money or
influence enough to bride Democratic
members of Congress. However, the
Democrats know their own value best, and
should the election 60 to the House--o!
which we think there is no dauger-we
shall expect to find sslcnty Of Democrats
ready to sell out cheap.

CHANGES.

We have cot devoted much of our space
in speaking Of changes from the other
parties to the Republicans. We might
give several columns each week, to a spe-
cifcation Of the changes in various parts
of the country. Some changes are Of
sufficient importance to receive passing
notice. In Benton, Franklin county,
ILL.,, the publishers of the Democrat,
whom wo know to be warm friends of
Douglas, and had advocated his claims
camet to the wise conclusion, that in the
present state of the case, to work for
Douglas, is to help to elect Breckenridge
or Lane, and they determined to support
Mr.. Lincoln, as his election is the only
thing that can prevent the success
Of the sectionalists. On the 22d of
August they had set up their paper,
with the Republican ticket at its head,
and giving their reasons for the change.
Hon. J. W. Logan, {" dirty work Lo-
gam who lives in Benton, hearing of the
matter went to the Office with gang of
rowdies and tried to have them stick to
Douglas. This they would not do, and
SO by threats and force they were finally
compelled to sell out at very low price.
A portion Of the papers had been struck
off, 1t contained the reasons of the pup.
fishers for their change, and also letter
from s. E. Flanagan, the Douglas candi-
date for States Atty, in the 10th Judi
cial District, to the electors Of that dis.
trict, giving his reasons for leaving Doug.
las and going for Lincoln. The Douglas
for the Legislature in the 4Oth
Representative District, in ILL.,, has also
come cut for Lincoln. So it goes all over
the country. ....

ton, presented beautiful flag 20 the Re-
publcans of the town and county, in a
very neat and appropriate speech. The
aag was received by p. d. Turner, Esq,
with appropriate thanks and pledges in
behalf Of the Republicans, and then the
flag was unfurlcd upon the pole that had
been that day erected, and saluted by
three cheers, and three more for the Re-
publican ladies of Upton.
Col. Warren then commenced his
.pccch, and although it was raining and
the wind blew cold aud fercely from the
North, the people we're obliged to stand
out of doors. They (the people of the
county, have paid near $4,000 for a
Court House, and all the benefit they
could get for it was the poor privilege of
sheltering themselves, partially, from the
chilly blast Col Warren remarked that
that was the first time that he ever saw
a Court Hoursc that could not be used
BY the people of the county, except to
try horse thieves and petty criminals
Our County Judge seems to think that
the Court House was erected for the sole
benefit Of the county officers. Be it
known that he is not a Republican,
although this is reputed to be Rcpub
lcan county.
After few Introductory remarks, Col.
Warren gave US concise history of the
legislation of Congress on the subject of
slavery. Then he exposed the humbug
of popular sovereignty in a manner that
made tho Douglasises very uneasy for i,
was an exposure that could not be covered
up or contradictcd. We have not time
to speak more at length now, but will
say that his speech was one of the most
convincing and unanswerablc speeches
that we ever heard. That his hearers
were of the same opinion, was evident
from the patience with which they stood
in the cold. damp air for two hours. At
its close three rousing cheers went up
for our candidates, and three for the
speaker.

GREAT REPUBLICAN MEETING AT
RED OAK.

On Monday last, the Republicans of
Red Oak Township held very enthusi-
assic meeting in the Grove, near the res
idence of Mr.. Brown. They had pre-
pared very neat pole to be raised on
the occasion, and when the delegation
from Upton arrived on the ground, they
proceeded to elevate the same and stretch
a beautiful banner from /: to large tree
in front of Mr.. Browns house. Among
the Upton people who were on hand,
was large number of the Wide Awakes.
And there is very fne company of
Wide Awakes at Red Oak, numbering
about 20. These two companies then
vert through with part of their drill
and made a grand appearance. After
which the crowd assembled in the Grove
and were entertained with song from
the Republican Glee Club of Upton
J. H. Rothrock, Esq, of Upton, then
delivered very able speech upon the
political issus of the day. After anoth-
err song by the Glee Club, Mr.. J. G.
Belts made short speech, showing his
reasons for Tot continuing to cooperate
with the the so-called Democracy of to-
day
The meeting then adjourned to meet
in the evening, and the delegation from
Upton, and strangers from other places,
we're kindly invited by the Republican
citizens of the place to take supper
Aud here we will take occasion to say
that the hospitality Of the Red Oak peo-
pie will be held in grateful remembrance.
About dusk large number Of Wide
Awakes of MechanicsviIle, arrived
These, together with those already on
the ground, joined in procession aud
made brilliant dls2 ay. Tterc were
more than sixty Lamps. After the par
ado, the crowd assembled around the
dwelling of Mr. Brown, aud were address
ed by s. Yates, aud Wells Spicer About
10 o'clock the meeting adjourned and the
crowd dispersed.
During the whole time there was the
utmost good order and decorun. All
appeared to be well pleased with the
days proceedings. Too much praise can
not be bestowed upon the Republicans Of
Red Oak for the zeal and energy they
have displayed during this campaign. -
They are doing good work and they
will be rewarded by the satisfaction Of
having redeemed Red Oak from the
grasp Of the Democracy. If all Of the
Republicans of the county were working
az hard as those of Red Oak, our county
would be certainly disenthraled from the
supremacy Of Democratic politicians

n@. Some person. who writes for the
Davenport Democrat and Necs, over the
signature of G. G., says that Mr..
Samues' "easy social qualities, took first
rate with the Douglasites here. Just
what is meant by "ea.y social qualities"
We are not able to say. We have heard
Of women of easy virtue, but do not know
IS that term is synonymous with "easy
social qualities
The same correspondent says:
81 learn from reliable authority that
there are now in Springdale, in this
county. fifteen or twenty negroes, and a
dozen horses, with wagons, &c, which
have just been stole from Missouri, aud
that they have been left there for safe
keeping, while the thieves return Tor
more booty. This is t. legitimate fruits
of the teachings of Black Republicans,
and if persisted 10 will result in worse
disaster than the raid of old John Brown

A CHANGE.

The Douglas men Of Rochester have a
club which meets every Saturday night.
At its last meeting the President was
called upon for a speech, whereupon he
called the Vice President to the chair,
and proceeded to state his position. He
was opposed to the Republicans, to Brock
inridge and to Douglas. In short he de-
clarcd himself to be Bell Everett man.
The CONSERVATION of the Douglastes can
be imagined. With the changes to the
Republicans, to the Nationals, and to the
Union party, Douglas is in danger Of be-
ing without even corporaps guard.

DOUGLAS, OPINION.

& Mr.. Douglas is speaking, three or four
times a day, but Ne does not state that he
believes sor thinks that the Supreme
Court win decide, that TERRITORIAL Leg
islature has the power to prohibit slavery
The nearest that he has come to giving
an opinion was at Petersburg, Va, where
he said that the Territorial Legislature Of
New Mexico had passed a thorough and
efficient slave code, which the "Black
Republicans" wanted Congress to repeal.
He said:
Let them make q case and bring it
before the Supreme Court and let that
tribunal decide, as l beiterc 1t piA, that
the slave code is constitutional, it must
stand and Congress shall never repeal it
if | can prevent it.
" As reverse, Kansas has prohibited
slavery, if that is constitutional it will
stand. If it is unconstitutional, it is
void. Make your case, take it to the
Court, and let that tribunal decide
whether it is constitutional or not fit
is unconstitutional, it is void, and the
Court will so decide, and there is an end
Of the controversy. "-[See C1eueland
Platnaeaier of Sept. 12th.] .,. ,
1t will be noticed that while Mr..
Douglas says he believes the Court will
decide the slave code of New Mexico to
be constitutional, he takes good care not
to say that he believes the Court will de.
eide the prohibitory law of Kansas to be
constitutional, but that if the Court de.
cides it to be unconstitutional that will
be ian end Of the controversy"
