Meeting OF the friends of the "chivalrous
Aentuckian" end the "Marion of the Mex.

The call is signed by Michael Stuart, E. T.
Richardson, l.. L. Brown, Harvey Baldwin

The calm, thinking men Of the country
have always been opposed to sectionalsm r
the government. The weSk point in oil The
parties which have arisen in opposition tc
the Democracy has been desire to benefit
one portion of the Union at the expense oi
another. The political programme of those
who have arr8yed themselves against the
regular nominees of the National Democra.
cy is purely O sectional one. Itcogers only
Southern soil. 1t is obvious they have no
prospect Of carrying single Northern State.
Their scheme is to defeat the wish OF ma.
iority OF the Democratic voters of the coun-
try. Theirs is sectional programme which
can never, by any possibility, either elect o
President or control the policy of the gov.
ernment. They may succeed in their design
OF crushing for the time The chances of sue.
cess Of the brave old party, whose creed had
its legioDs of supporters in every State in
the Union, but they con never acquire
strength enough to control the government
themselves. In placing themselves in an
tagonism to the political association which
annexed Texas, defeated the Wilmot Provi.
so, passed the Fugitive Slave Law, and,
with heroic frmDess, have withstood the as.
saults of the anti slavery party for the last
dozen years, they have declared against Ma
Gonalism as the basis OF Democracy. They
may, perchance, succeed in temporarily dis.
organizing the party, but they can never
succeed in accomplishing any good for Ell.
Der the North or South.
Those who would create in the Demo.
cratic party Northern and Southern fac
ton have no more prospect Of success in the
Union than if they had no candidate at all.
They may succeed in dividing ard distract.
ing the Democratic purity so that it may foil
in the present election through their efforts,
but in the future there is no success in store
for them.

A Blow from Char!estown.

In recent number of the National Dem.
ccrat, we find the following letter 10 that
poper frcm ChGrIestown. In order to Emuse
our readers in that vicinity, We re.pubIisb
it, sin our own wcy:"
"Perh6ps few lines from this Black Re.
publican town mGy not be interesting to
your readers. We had Douglas meeting
here the other day, and Day and Harris made
speeches. Harris spoke first and labored
like darkey on q tread. mill, to prove he
was Democrat, and as the crowd was quite
small and rather gulible it didn't take him
long 10 do it. Day spoke next and tried to
get on the agony and for a while thought
he would, but som chow there was screw
loose, for every time he got up about such a
pitch he would collapse and come down
some as frog would TO be struck with O
club in the midst of his cong, really felt
sorry for him. l think the only result of
their meeting was to prove the weakness of
the Douglas party in this town."
How does the writer know that one Of the
speakers "labored like darkey on tread

Look at the Record!

"Among many Misrepresentation sent to
the country by some of the enemies of this
bill, perhaps none ia more flagrant then the
charge that it proposes to legislate slavery
into Kansas and Nebraska. Sir, il the bill
contained such a feature, it would not re-
ceive my vote. THE RIGHT TO ESTABLISH
INVOLVES THE CoRRELATIvE RIGHT TO PRO-
HIBIT, AND DENYING ,TH WOULD VIE FOR

Missouri compromised therefore, is neither
t, establish nor to exclude slavery, but
leaue The future condition Of the territories

itants, subject only to such limitations 0s
the federal Constitution may impose."-

Congress in 1854. See Congressional i

MIR. EDITOR The Portage County De.
mocrat of last week, makes the world Ms
founding announcement that Kernel Gillette,
Old Bucks Postmaster at this place, has
united his fortunes and destiny with those of
the Lincoln Rail SpIitte-s and that this
step was taken on account of the divisions
in the Democratic party; that Dir. Gillette
cannot support the "squatter sovereignty"
dogmas OF Mr.. Douglas. Mr.. G. is not the
first "large' man, by long shot, who was
unable to support the doctrine OF "Popular
Sovereignty" There was Old King George
aud the most OF the British Parliament, who
did not believe in that heresy So, also, the
Tories Of the Revolution denounced it as q
humbug, claiming, ms do Mr.. Gillette and
his Republican associates, that the soyer.
eighty of the colonies was in the crown and
Parliament of Britain. end that the only
rights which the colonists could enjoy, were
such as should be granted by the British
Parliament. Neither can this honest Mr..
Gillette go the extreme doctrines of the
Southern fire-eaters. Oh, no Yet up to
the very hour of the assembling of the
Charleston adjourned Convention, he claim
ed that the Territories were the common
property Of all the States, and the people
thereof purchased by their common blood
and treasure-and thrt the slaveholders had
right to 90 into these common Territories,
carrying with them their slaves, and to de-.
mand OF the general Government protection
for their slave property and suppose Mr..
GilIette-like all the rest Of those who have
heretofore gone into the opposition ranks
from the Democratic party-has not chang
ed in the least, but "s.ands just where he
always Stood" and the party has stroyed
away from him, and gone to following after
new and strange doctrines
The Democrat, in alIuding TO the honesty
and intelligence of Mr.. G., and the purity OF
the motives which control his action in these
premises, does that gentleman credit over.

Resolutions OF CoNDoLENcE.-We find the
following resolutions in the Butte Record OF
Saturday:
Uron the receipt Of the SAD intelligence Of
the demise Of the Rev. Daniel L. Satterv, a
meeting Of members Of his Congregation in
Oroville, assembled last night at the Office of
j. G. Downer, j. p, when Julius Hamell was
called to the Chair, and d. G. ODonnel ap-
pointed Secretary. On motion Of NJ. j. Pur.
cell, the following gentlemen were appointed
a committee to report resolutions expressive
Of the sense Of the meeting, viz: Messrs
Granger, To!and and Collins, who reported
the following which were unanimously
adopted:
Resolged, That we are humblel under the
present bereavement in the removal from US
by our Heavenly Father of our beloved Pas.
tor, the Rev. Daniel L. Slattery, whose heart
so full of human sympathics, Of Christian
love, and Of an active, living benevolence,
now lies cold and still in the embrace of
death; ard the form Of him we so much
venerdted will move no more in our midst on
earth, forever.
Reso!ycd That the Holy Mother Church
has lost in his decease, one of its brightest
ornaments in devotion, purity. and massive
Intelligence; society one of its most useful
Christian teachers; and our beloved Arch
bishop an important support in the work of
moral regeneration assigned him in Califor-
mia.
Resoired, That while we weep for him
that is gone,we cannot forget the unutterable
grief Of mother, brothers, and sisters Of the
pious deceased and we hereby tender them
our coincidence, as we'll as to our venerated
Arch bishop Of this diocese, whose soul is
bowed down with sorrow in the loss of a
brother whom he so much loved.
On motion it was ordered that the church
Of this place be draped in morning for thirty
days, in memory and respect for the deeeas
ed and these proceeding be published in the
papers of the town. and a copy be forwarded
TO the family of deceased and TO Arch bishop

THEN AND Eow.-The Frankfort (Ky.)
Commonwealth hits the two main organs OF
Breckenridge in that State socdolagers be-
tween the eyes, by quoting from them their
opinions against Intervention expressed only
a little over one year ago. Here they are:
"There can be no doubt that the Demo-
cratic party in Kentucky is opposed to the
Intervention of Congress for any purpose, or
for the exercise of any power, over slavery
in the Territories. "-LeringtoM Statesman,
Nay 6, 1859.
Those who demand that Congress shall
protect slavery in the Territories are in di,
rect conflict with the Democratic creed -
frankfort Teontan, Nay 10, 1859
These two papers are now fierce interven.
tionists, and justify the disruption of the
Democratic party, because its National Con
vention would not yield to the demands OF
the boilers and disunionsts, and proclaim for
what was in direct conflict with the Demo
cratic creed

BREcKtNRIDGE AND BURR.-We find, says
the Butte Record, the following bit Of in
telligence in late number of the Louisville
Journal, and seeing no denial, we give the
extract:
John C. Brecinridge is blood relation of
Aaron Burr That's no crime of his; but,
if he shall lead his party. or be lead by them,
to the consummation of a worse treason than
ever his notorious relative contemplated, it
will be a terrible crime of his.
1t is Il remarkable fact in the history of
this Government, that the only two efforts
which have been made to organize an impe-
rim impcrio or separate and distinct Gov
ernment, has been done by Vice Presidents.
Aaron Burr, Vice President, conspired to
establish Southern Confederacy by uniting
the Gulf States with a portion of Mexico.
John c. Breckenridge, now Vice President is
conspiring to unite the Gulf States with the
Mexican States of Tamaulip0s, New Leon
and Coahuila. Burr was instigated, pro-
tected and defended by the Federal party,
or the opponents and haters of the great
apostle Of true Democracy Thomas Jefferson,
Just as Breckenridge is now ins,igated and
defended by the enemies of the National De-
mocraey, and the calumniators and traducers
of the greatest living representative of JEFF
fersonian Democracy, Stephen A. Douglas

Claiborne Il. Jncksnn.


This gentleman, while candidate for the
GoveFnorship of Missouri, made a speech,
from which the following are extracts. 1t
will be seen that he distinctly avowed him.
self for Douglas, and he has said nothing
since his election, to contradict his then posi-
tion. Here are the extracts:
1t has been stated during the canvass that
| had been intimidated to come out for Doup.
las. There was q rumor about the Missouri
Republican and letter from its editor hav-
ing forced me out. | say emphatically that
there is not one word of truth in these asser-
tions lnever received a letter from the edi-
tor of the Missouri Republican. or any friends
of Mr.. Douglas, urging, or even suggesting,
that should declare for him but do so OF
my entire free will, being actuated solely ty
principle and the feeling of honor and JUS
tice. Applause But, gentlemen, did re
ceive letter from the other side which
might read, but refrain from doing so, inti-
mating that unless | came out for Breckin-
ridge they would get out another candidate
against me. Hence, | repeat, so soon ms |
heard who received the nomination, and the
circumstances under which it was made,
declared at once that was for the nominee.
While regret the present division, and when
| see the opposition seeking every opportuni-
| ty to make the breach wder-I now speak to
Douglas men and to Breckinridge men-l say
it is your duty to take counsel among your
selves, sink all minor differences, and come
up in November and drive back the enemy
by giving united vote. Renewed applause,
and cries of eve will."l
have no blows to give on the one side or
the other; the only question is, whether
Douglas was nominated or not; and that he
is the legitimate nominee no one wW dispute
after the figures hare adduced before yo~ this
day.
Before leave, let me remind you that it
is not pretended 10y the friends of Mr.. Breck-
inridge that he was the nominee of any party
or convention, but that they had put up a man
| for themselves, and that man is one whom
love, but whose course, in my Judgment. is
anti Democratic and totally unjustifable
and yet holding as is well known do these
sentiments l am told by the friends of thi;
outside candidate that unless vote for him
they will take my head off.

narrow, high at the instep, and generally Of
Symmetrical shape, have been presented TO a

shoemaker says that the bard had not club

formed the same as the other, except being
exactly an inch and a half shorter The
malformation being in the ancle, which was
very weak; consequently the foot turned
upwards. Toremedy this, his lordshp wore
a very thin boot, tightly laced, under his
stocking. In his early life, he wore an iron
with joint at the ancle, which passed down
the outside Of the leg, and was fastened to
