The first three of these measures-Califor~

i, therefore, hold myself responsible to you,
as my constituents for these measures as they
passed. lfthere is anything wrong in them,
hold me accountable; if there is anything of
merit. give the credit to those who passed
the bills. These measures are predicdted on
the great fundamental principle that crcry
people ought to possess the right Of forming
and regulating their o,gR Internal concerns
dHd domestic institutions in their ow1t ray
1t was supposed that those of our fellow citi
zens who emigrated TO the shores of the Pa
ciic and to our Territories, were as capable
of self-government as their neighbors and
kindred whom they left behind them and
there was no reason for believing that they
have lost any of their intelligence or patriot
ism by the wavside, while crossing the 18TH
mus or the Plains. 1t was also believed, that
after their arrival in the country, when they
had become familiar with its topography
climate, productions, and resources, and had
connected their destiny with it, they were
fully as competent to judge for themselves
what kind of laws and institutions were lest
adapted to their condition and interests, as
we were who never saw the country, and
knew very little about it. To question their
competency to do this, uas to de,y their ca
pacity for se!f-goper1meat
See how truly honest, uniform and consis
tent Mr. Douglas has been-advocating the
same principle in 1850 and lS54-and we can
show the same consistency in all his record
that he advocated in 1856 and that he ad
vocatcs to-day.
As the people of Illinois sustained him in
1856 and 1854, Notwithstanding the first mis-.
taken bursts of popular outrage against him,
so will they now sustain him in this the
greatest contest OF his political life.

BREcKINRIDGE Misunderstanding that
there was an audience collected in front of
the United States Hotel, last evening, to hear
Solomon Heydenfelt expatiate on the divine
doctrines Of Secessionism, We went around to
see what was going on. We discovered a
crowd of perhaps two hundred persons, and
listened awhile to rather tame speech in
behalf of the peculiar notions of the Breek-
inridge faction. Getting tired of this, and
seeing no enthusiasm in the crowd, we con-
cluded it would hardly pay to hear it. So
we went our way. Returning, after short
period, We saw T. L. Aud, Esq, upon the
stand, apparently trying to say something
The crowd, which had dwinded down tc
about fifty, seemed to disagree with him very
considerably, and the running debate be-
tween him and his auditors was somewhat
amusing.
We did not hear enough of his speech to
make any report of it, but we understand
that he boasted that he ocas reared in the
-enih of Henry Clay. Somebody asked him
what would become of the Seeeders, after
the destruction which he predicted, of the
Douglas Democracy and the Lincoln Repub
licans. "If you mean by the Seceders," said
he, "the Breckenridge party, they will live
in immortal youth, and like Gen. Taylor, at
the battle of Buena Vista, they will never
surrender 1t was amusing to see how quick
he was to acknowledge the Breckenridge
party as the Seceders! Shortly after the
meeting adjourned, the lights were extin-
guished and a darkness prevailed which was
emblematical of the political darkness in
which the speakers had already managed to
enwrap themselves and such of their auditors
as happened to believe in the principles they
ayowed.
Daily national Democrat., 1860-10-17
Breckinridge at the North.

The tactics of the Breckenridge party at
the North, says the Georgia Chronicle and
Sentinel, are worthy of study-consisting as
the party does there, of Mr. Buchanan's office
holders and camp followers, they are now
looking around with anxiety and uneasiness
for the strongest side. They are convinced
that Breckinridges chances are becoming
"smal by degrees and beautifully less" they
anticipate no favor from Douglas, even if
they take up his cause, at this, the eleventh
hour; from Bell they can expect no counte-
nance and nothing but a sudden and bitter
termination to their career of corruption
They are turning their longing eyes, there
fore, fearfully and hopefully to Lincoln. But
it would be political death to mistake the
wishes of Mr., Buchanan-there is plenty Of
time yet for the official guillotine to do vast
amount of work; their position is difficult
and demands the utmost caution. Since
however, Mr.. Buchanans protege has been
nearly annihilated by the late elections and
it has become evident that Breckinridge's
election is not within the range of probabli-
ties, we may expect the cold public function.
ary' will either openly give the signal for a
stampede Of his followers to Lincoln, or will
secretly connive at it. In no other way can
he now consummate his revenge on Douglas,
and we shall not be at all surprised TO find
Mr.. Buchanan himself before the canvass
closes, a Lincoln man, and promoting the
cause of the Black Republican candidate with
all the power of the Federal Governments
Therein he would only be doing W hat he has
done before-for Lincoln has heretofore been
prime favorite with Mr. Buchanan, who
has risked his standing with his party, and
acquired no small share of o5loqny aud con-
tempt by his ardent support of Lincoln, the
Black Republican, against Douglas, the fore
most man of the Democratic party.
In the meantime, the Republican papers,
such as the Tribune, and others Of that
stamp, are patting the Breckinridgers on the
back, and the latter take kindly as kittens to
these soft caresses. Their number is so small
that it is not of much consequence what be-
comes of them, were it not for the spoils in
huence they WELD, but their movements will
afford some amusement, and we shall watch
Greeley in his process of consolng the dis
consulate with considerable interest.
Daily national Democrat., 1860-10-17

a VOICE FROM TIE MoUNTAINs-A cores
pondent writes us from Butte Creek, Butte
county, that in Dogtown, Centerville, Dia-
mondville & adjoining precincts of the noun
tain region of Butte, Lincoln will get many
a vote which is not counted upon, and many
more could be got for him if good speakers
would go up that way.-AppeaI.
We suppose that Dogtown is bowling fol
the Republicans. Centerville is concentrat-
ing her forces in the same cause Diamond
Vile is frightening up on the subject The
flag Of Repubicanism at Shirt Tail Canon is
waving in the breeze. Mad Ok Canon is fair
ly believing for Lincoln. Jackass Flat i:
braying for him Justify, and we shall soon
hear of unparalleled triumphs in every quar-
ter for the Rail-splitting and UniOn-spitting
