Hamiin on the Homestead Bill,

Ep We have heard quite a number
of Democrats in this village assert that
Mr.. HAMLIN, the Republican candidate
for Vice President. is opposed to the
great Republican measure of free home
steads. This we emphatically deny
We have examined the record Of bis
votes for the last two sessions Of Con.
gress, and find that in 1859, on every
division relative to the bill he stuck faith
fully by it, voting always with its friends
During the late session, he worked and
voted persistently for the House bill,
having his name recorded on every vote
with the friends of the bill. On the fin
al passage, however, of that miserable
apology for a homestead measure, the
Senate bill, he voted in the negative,
against what we conceive to be the bet
ter course of his fellow Republicans
That measure, however, was not a home.
stead bill, but simply graduation bill,
and was so obnoxious 10 the friends OF
the Homestead in the House Of Repre-
sentatives that they refused entirely to
entertain it. 1t was not until after it had
been materially modified that they would
accede to it even under protest. When
the notifications were made, and it came
back to the Senate, Mr.. HAMLIN, with
his Republican fellow Senators, voted for
it, and when Mr.. BUCHANAN vetoed it,
Mr.. HAMLIN voted TO pass it over the
veto. We contend, then, that his re-
cord for the past two sessions fully an
swers this charge Of the Democracy.
and shows clearly the fact that be is in
favor of the homestead principle.

re- The Democrats of Pennsylvania
and New York are trying 10 patch up an
arrangement by which only one Demo
cratic electo. ticket will be run in those
States. DOUGLAS electors are to be sup
ported with The understanding that il the
election goes to the House OF Represent
atives, the DOUGLAS men are to 90 for
BRECKENRIDGE. There is no hope that
the arrangement can be consummated.
The suggestion, however, shows how re-
luctant the Democracy are to give up
the spoils.

Fitzpatrick Declines-.-G reat Waste of
Powder.

E AS our Douglas friends burnt
about one half their powder, burs.ed one
Of the two anvils destroyed, and created
about one half their noise-and as the
Coils last political bulletin to the Du-
buque Herald, of Democratic triumphs
in Buchanan county, devoted one half of
its hifalutln-all to the glorifcation OF
BENJAMIN FITZPATRICK, of Alabama and
as BENJAMIN FITZPATRICK does not be-
long to the Douglas section of the Dem
ocracy, has no sympathy with it, has not
voted with it, and refuses to be It's cand :
idate-we submit that our friends and
the Col. are just so much out of powder,
anvils, voice, and grandiloquent ink
droppings. Just think One half of all
that tremendous enthusiasm" not sim
ply thrown away, but spent in behalf of
fre-eating, Lecompton, slave code,
anti Douglas, anti, Squatter Sovereignty,
Buchanan, Breckinridge and Lane Dem
ocrat Every explosion of charcoal and
saltpetre, every huzza, every rat tat tat
on the drum, every nervous gesture, ev-
cry square inch Of lumber burnt, every
glass of whisky drank-everything, in
fact, done for the glorification of the
"great apostle OF on-intervention, !"
also done for the laudaton of an advo-
cate of Intervention everything done
for popular sovereignty, done also for
congressional sovereignty - everything
done against the administration, done also
for the glory of one of its supporters
The Douglasites knew that Mr.. FIrz-
PATRICK had voted for the Lecompton
Constitution, that he had supported the
policy of the Administration, and that
he had voted for the Davis resolutions,
which recently passed the Senate, and
which declare that Shareholders have the
right to protection for their slave proper
ty in the Territories. They knew all
this. but still they placed him on the
ticket, and shouted for him and glorifed
him as they did the Illinois demagogue.
They thought, in this way, to mollify and
propitiate tho Soulh-thought by run
ming double headed ticket to catch both
sections. But Mr.. FITZPATRICK would
not lend himself TO any such scheme
He is not for Douglas or his dogma, and
knows that the South is not for either,
and lie therefore refuses to stand with
him. 1t is another indication Of how
hopeless are Mr.. DOUGLASS prospects in
that section. Not prominent man at
tho South is willing to stand with him,
and the National Committee has been
compelled to put upon the ticket a man
entirely unknown TO the country. HER
scnEL V. JOHNSON, Of Georgia, can bring
to the ticket no influence, no strength,
and every indication goes to prove that
it is hopelessly doomed in every Southern
State.

Anti.Siayerf Democracy.

Anti-Siayery Democracy.
@ Our readers all know that Dem
ocrats in this region are constantly pro-
testing that they are anti slavery men,
that they desire so see free-labor triumph,
desire to see the time when there shall
not be the footprint of slave on our soil
that they only differ with us as to the
best method of arriving at this result
The leaders of the party in this place,
when questioned directly upon this point,
insist that this is their position, but we
submit that they have strange method
of showing it. For instance, one of them,
a day or two since, told us that he would
much rather see BREcKINRIDGE elected
President than LINCoLN-that he did not
expect Mr.. DOUGLAS would be elected,
but he would be satisfied if LINCOLN was
defeated-and doubtless he only reflect
ed the sentiment of all the leaders. But
why should they prefer Mr.. Breckenridge
to Mr. Lincoln Which has the most
in common with the principles they pro-
fess ? Let us examine They profess to
be in favor Of n Homestead bill. Does
Mr.. Breckenridge favor it? No, he op.
poses it. They profess to favor a Rail
road to the Pacific. Is Mr.. Breckenridge
pledged to give government encourage
ment to that measure !? No. Some of
them, especially those who have been
Wings, profess to favor tariff of pro.
lection. Does Mr.. Breckenridge coin
eide with them? No, he is in favor Of
free trade. Some of them believe that
Congress should improve the navigation
of our Western Lakes. Does Mr.. Brock
inridge favor such measure? No.
They profess desire to have the Terri
tories devoted to Free Labor. Is Mr.
Breckenridge with them on this ? No,
he desires to fasten Negro Slavery there.
Does Mr.. Lincoln stand with them on all
these positions !? Yes. Why, then, pre-
fer Mr.. Breckenridge to him I? Is it be-
cause Mr.. Lincoln does not endorse
Squatter Sovereignty? Neither does
Mr.. Breckenridge. The one differs with
them on all points, the other only on one
point, and even on that these leaders pro-
TESS to be seeking the same result as Mr.
Lincoln. Can any one tell, then, why
these anti'slavery protesting Democrats
desire Mr.. Breckinridge's election rather
than Mr.. Lncoln's? Why the differ
ence between them on one single point, and
even on that both working for the same
result, should create SO much more ha-
tired in their breasts, than the difference
on all points? In their eyes, Mr.. Lin
coins adherence to the old policy of the
government, on this single point, out
weighs the thorough, radical, absolute
d Inference between Mr.. Breckenridge and
on all points. The one does
everything in the interest of Freedom,
and the other for the glory of Slavery,
yet the first is rejected and the latter ac-
copied. And yet they try to gull the
people with the idea that they are good
anli-slayery men !! Can any one be SO
credulous as to believe them hereafter

The contest for Speaker shows plainly
that no coalition could be made between
the Southern Democracy and Opposition,
and il SO, no election could take place in
the House. The Constitution provides,
in this contingency, that the Senate shall
elect Vice President from the two high
est candidates on the list, who shall per-
form the duties of President. 1t need
not be said that that man will be JOE
LANE, the most contemp tble toady to the
slave power that the north ever produc.
ed, and one Of the most bitter enemies
that DOUGLAS has in the Senate. 1t is
the relore plain that Mr.. DOUGLAS cannot
be elected. and that every man who votes
for him at the north is only voting 10 put
the government under the absolute con-
trol of the slave power. viii you do it ?
We hope not.

PART SECOND.

1t was a soft evening in early spring, just
twelve years after the terrible events above
narrated, when | accompanied a friend to a
revival meeting, in one of the churches of New
York. The sermon was one of those awaken
ing, heart-searchng discourses under which
sinners quail, and the careless and Indifferent
start M to a sudden consciousness of their
guilt and danger 1t was followed by pray
er meeting, in which the leading members Of
the church united and aroand them iocked
the pentents, whom the sword of the spirit
had wounded, and who groaned in the "gall
of bitterness for a relief from their sins. OF
the latter was one whose convictions were so
pungent as to be distressing to witness. He
was a man Of middle age, but prematurely
withered, and bearing in the coarse lines of his
face an index of a depraved heart and vicious
life. BY what means he had been brought
under the sound Of the Gospel seemed mys,
terry for he was evidently lrequenter OF
the haunts of wickedness, companion Of those
who hate the services of the sanctuary. The
iron however, bad entered his soul; conscience
had arisen like a giant refreshed !" the turies
of remorse and terror were leu loose upon his
prostrate spirit and, writhing in the torments
Of despair, his piteous means pierced every
aeart, and f!led every eye WITH tears. ais
