Governor Morgan Is bent on convincing the
public that he IL in reality as ignorant Of politi
cal economy and as subservient to the Albany
lobby as the most obscure Of his predecessors. His
message Of yesterday Is, n possible, even worse
than the one with which he opened the session.
Stripped of the verbiage in which the Governor en-
velopes his reasoning, his position is simply as fol-
lows
The canal tolls have fallen of from 50 7O3 800 in
1851 to 81 $50 in 1852 while the tonnage of the
Central and Erie railroads has increased from
99l 900 tons in 1853 to 100000 tons in 1852 This
must arise from the effect of the act of 1851 per.
hitting the roads to carry freight without paying
toll. Hence, II we repeal that act the canals will
again get the business and the State revenue will
suffice for the expenditure.
It never seems to have occurred to Governor
Morgan and his friends that the transfer of traffic
from the canals to the railways was due to the
precable measure to the effect Of the tolls rem oval
act That such, however, is the fact, every
intelligent person is well aware. Between 1851
when the business of the canals seems to have
eliminated the present time, this coun.
try has witnessed an era of unexampled COM
mercial activity. The movement Of merchandise
westward and produce eastward has been unpre-
cedented; is it any matter Of surprise that the
owners Of this property should have preferred to
send it by rail- at small additional cost, rather
than have it spend weeks on the way in canal
boats, exposed to all kinds of delays and hin.
ORANGES? Before ls5l-that is to say, before the
effects of the discovery of California gold began to
be felt-the canals answered the general pur-
poses of traffic. But as commerce and en-
terprise were stimulated to new life by the
gold discoveries, canal transportation was found
too slow for the age and the railroads got the bust
ness The tolls removal act had no more to do with
the change than the coup d'ttat in France, which
occurred about the same time. Nor viii an act
such as Governor Morgan now proposes-tor restore
tolls effect the object he has in view. As between
the railways and canals Of this State, it Will, Of
course, make no change, as it is proposed to raise
the canal tolls simultaneously with the tolling of
freight on the reads; the business of each win con-
tinue to bear the same relative proportion &plnow
But the effect will be to protect" transportation
of freight on the Pennsylvania and Canada canals
and railways, and to drive traffic from ours to
theirs As to restoring the business Of our canals,
that is about feasible as it would be to try to
restore the bushes of stage coaches.

NAPOLEON. Sept. the 10th. S6O.

Mr.. EDIIoR:-Sir, the debate between Messrs.
Mcdowell and A. C. MoMLLEN, of which you
gave notice in your last week came off at
the place and time mentioned. The arrange
made between the parties for discussion, were
as follows: They were to discuss the principles
involved in the present platforms, and the record
of the candidates, each one to have two speeches,
first, half an hour each; second, three-fourths of
an hour each; McDcwEL to open, MoMnLEx to
close. When the time came for discussion, Nc
DowEL backed fair and square out-wanted to
make arrangements of his own; McMnLEN
agreeing if he (McDowEL) would meet him the
following week, and discuss under their first ar
rangemeDts. MoDowEL agreed he would. They
then took their seats. Mcdowell was to open
with an hour; McMILLEN to follow with an hour
and quarter; Mcdowell to close with Is min
utes. For want of argument. Mcdowell was
not able to fill his time; he, however, occupied
some fortyfve minutes in regular slang upon
his opponent. We must confess, more perfect
hzzle we never heard, and finally he wound up
by charging LINCOLN of voting against the sup
ply bill.
McMILLEN then arose, took off his collar and
coat, and showed up the young man s ignorance
IN IN political history in fine style. He read from
DOUGLAS, own speech, of the 18th of October.
1905 and proved the gentlemen's assertions per-
ieetiy false In regard to the supply bill. He
ieit so completely thrashed when his turn came
Tor speaking again. that his friends could not get
him on the floor; nor could they get him TO meet
McMLLEN again. We understand that MoMu.
LEN will meet him at any time, or anv of his
friends Take 1t up, will you. BEATA.

The Duplicity of Douglas.

Hon. S. S. Cox, who is running a race
for Congress against Hon. Samuel Gal.
loway, lately made speech in Columbus,
in the course of which be showed up the
treachery of Douglas in anything but an
enviable light. We quote from the Co.
lumbus Fact:
"Mr. Cox said he had been blam ed by
some for his vote on the English bill; but
he stated distinctly that he had advised
and approved of the vote. Judge Douglas
himself when the bill came to the Senate,
voted against it although it was exactly IN
the shape in which he had advised his
friend Cox to support it. Here is testl-
mony against Judge Douglas, which Mr..
Cox got from his own mouth, to show
that demagouge can blay upon both sides
of the same question. Douglas knew that
the vote cf Cox would be necessary to
carry the bill through the House, and there
fore instructed him how to vote. When it
came to the Senate be knew that it would
pass without his vote, and he voted against
it, thus playing upon both sides Of the
question"
The Fact adds that Mr.. Cox has repeated
these assertions in various places through
out Ohio. OF course their truth cannot be
denied.

Mr.. Breckenridge,s Speech

Mr.. Breckenridge made his promised
speech at Lexington, KY, on Wednesday,
the 5th. The speech in point of dignity,
is in striking contrast with the stump or
atory of Douglas. Mr.. Breckenridge de-
nies that he had the least instrumentality,
or least ambition for the office.
One charge that Mr.. Breckenridge said
had been made against him was that of
being an emancipationist in ls49. Mr.. B.
denied that be was or ever had been an
emaneipationist.
Another charged that he, in 1855, was a
Know Nothing. This he also denies, and
asserts that he strenuously opposed the Or
der.
He denies that bis views upon the Terri
torial question have undergone any change
and claims that the speeches he made in In
diana, Michigan and Pennsylvania in 1856,
were not correctly reported, and he claims
that Mr.. Douglas in his speeches, is utterly
misrepresenting Mr.. B.'s position. Mr..
Breckenrid ge quotes from letter he once
wrote to Louisiana, as giving in nutshell
his principles on the Territorial question to
wit:
"Hands off the whole subject by the
Federal Government, except for one or two
protective purposes mentioned in the Con-
stitution-the equal rights of all sections
in the common territories, and the abso-
Lutte power of each new State TO settle the
question in lis constitution"
These are my doctrines and those of our
platform, and what is more, of the Consti-
tuition.
Mr.. Breckenridge maintains that Doug
las agreed to leave the question of Legis-
lative power in the Territories to-the Su-
prems Court, and Mr.. B. yead from the
Dred Scott decision to show that the Court
decided that the speriod when they should
come into the Union as State as the time
when the Territorial authorities might act
on the subject of property, and hold on to
or exclude the slave property Of the
South"
Mr.. B. then went on to show that Con-
gress has power to protect slavery in the
territories.
He summed up as follows:
Have l not shown that it is neither l
dor the party which nominated me, but Mr..
Douglas who has broken faith; that by the
agreement at the time of the passage of
the Kansas Nebraska Bill the constitution
al point was to be left to the Supreme
Court; have l not shown that the Supreme
Court sustained our construction of the
Constitution? Have l MT shown that the
agreement thus made has been violated by
the declaration that subordinate author
ity may have the constitutional right and
exclude slave property when the court says
it has not the power! Who has abandon
ed the ground or violated the agreement?

Hamilton County Democracy.

We briefly noted yesterday the irrepress.
ible conflict among the Hamilton County
Democracy in their nominating Conven-
ton, which seems entirely unable to trans
act business, adjourned to meet a week
hence at Mt. Pleasant. The Enquirer,
the Douglas organ of Cincinnati, says Of
the disgraceful scenes:
1t is with feelings of modification that
we make any allusion to the disgraceful
scenes which yesterday took place in the
County Convention. They certainly beg
gar description, and will long be remem-
bered in the annals of our local politics.
1t was complete picture Of anarchy and
confusion. 1t will be to some extent a
scandal and reproach upon the Democ-
racy Of Hamilton county. We never saw
such turbulence-such disorder in n public
body before.
The causes which led to these disgrace
full scenes and the various explosive ele-
ments in the Convention were:
lst. The fag end Of the Miami tribe fight
"a feud of ten years standing.
I'd. The hostility between the Catholics
and the Jews, the bitterness of which was
unexampled save in the wars and persecu-
tions centuries ago, between the ancestors
of the religiopists who were yesterday ar
rayed against each other.
Sd Whisky. The nest of coffee houses
about Woods Theatre paid the rent of the
building for the use of the Convention, as
an indictment to have it held there. The
Committee on Credentials was in session
three hours; and in the meantime hun
dreds of men were maddening themselves
with liquor.

Political and News Summary,

Advices from Kentucky represent that Mr..
Crittenden will reply to the speech of Mr..
Breckenridge.
The Breckenridge and Douglas elements in
Pennsylvania having failed to fuse, the Douglas
ties are trying to dors-tail with the Bell Know
Nothings.
The Delaware Democracy are split in twain,
the Douglas wing having in State Convention
held on the 2sth ult.. placed ticket in the
field embracing Electors and Representative to
Congress. The Breckenridge wing has had a
ticket before the people for some time. The
Opposition party is a unit, and means to win.
At the recent Bell meeting in Columbs, Gen.
Leslie Combs, of Kentucky, courted the Doug
lasites in his speech. and gave Breck and his
allies some hard slaps. The State Journal would
not be surprised if an illegitimate party off
spring should be the result of all this billing
and cooling.
The late battle at Lagos. in Mexico, was pro-
tracted FIVE days. and resulted in the total roui
of Miramon. He was wounded. but finally es-
eaped with portion of hi, cavalry. The BAL

Poor WHITE MEN TO BE OWNED AS SLAVES

Poor working men of the North, what do you
think of man who says the question to be de-
termined is,whether you should be free as now ,or
whether you should be driven into the slave
pens with the blacks, and sold at public outcry

~The Cleveland papers are all enthus

HThe Cleveland papers are all enthusiasm
over the display in that city, on Monday last.
They estimate the number of visitors present,
variously at from 10 to 100000. The turnout
was tremendously large; the Accommodations for
them, tremendously poor; the bills charged tre-
mendously high; the display of red ribbon and
tin-fol tremendously attractive, to children; the
Railroads going into Cleveland made tremen-
dOus sight of money that day, and the passen-
gers going in on them, were tremendously bored
whilst going, whilst there and in coming home.
The only real thing we saw there, was the Stat
ute, the empty tables at the hotels, the high
bills charged, and poor fellow who swan into
the lake after his hat getting drowned. The
rest was all delusion, costing time, money, loss
Of sleep, and loss of temper.
