platform he how stands Upon, and squares ms tu-

FJryarJ Eyerett's rame is s household word,

chaste in Literal re all that is noble III states
man-that is renowned in scholarship; ranking
with Cicero ana Demcsthenes, as an orator, with
Howard in benevoence, and denomllated as the
high priest of the Union, having shed the ustrons
ravs of knowledge ever the halls OF one OF the
first Universities Of the world, he consents 20 adorn
the second.highest position his countrymen could
assign him-that of Vice President OF the United
States.
You have nothing 10 sacrifice BIZ sustaining such
ticket, and as a patriot, if you love your coun-
try better than party ties, let US sntreat you 10
come I'D 10 the rescue. We are engaged IN an
unhaly warfare with sectional parties, and are
the only party that contend successfully upon
principle, against the dogma Of Republlcanism,
made respectable and hOncred by Stephen A
Douglas and his followers, ''That Slavery Is To-
cal and Freedom National" Remember that we
affirm if, aud hold ourselves TO the proof, thai
Stephen A. Douglas and those who endorse him
by voting for him, are standing upon freesoil,
intervention platform, assisting IL Stewards IRE

But the Democratic party is powerless for good,
divided as they they cannot carry single
southern State, except, perhaps, South Carolina
and Mississippi. TaGe our own State as an exam
pie aud we find Buchanan received about 10000
more votes than Fillmore, and that he received
10000 Republican votes that will now be cast
for Lincoln. leaving close contest between them;
1ut again divide his vote by Douglas and Breck-
ierIdgs and Bell carries tins State by %, Geo ma
Jority. The same calculation give, every other
southern State 10 them. The Democracy cannot
afford By their division 10 lose 1900 votes IN
any State and carry it, except South Carolina
Then the fragments of the Democratic party is
not in this contest. Then come up 10 our help
and fight the battles of our country.
EeliOwCItIZens: have now IN urging upon you
our platform and Interpretation. expressed my own
sentiments. and intend 10 stand by them until IA
naticism, and the intervention Douglas dogma,
that freedom Is National and slavery is Local
shall find an unhallowed tomb.
In my opposition TO Gen Clark, do not seek
10 do him injustice. But the position he assumes
in his speeches, and the doctrines and admissions
contained in his card, enable me with some degree
of certainty, TO see where he IS drIfung-where
his political influence tends. First, he supports
Douglas upon his dogma that slavery is loca that
is IS far as he goes; he does not say freedom
is nationally with a full knowledge that every
southern SSldlUI dEN nine out OI IIleell Oh every
sou hern delegate in Charleston Convention,
holds his platform and principles as freesoil:-
that Buchanan has said with the Supreme
Court, hold that neither Congress nor the Terri
torlal legislature has any pewer 10 establish, I'M
pair, or abolish slavery i'd the Territories. Then
If the Territorial Legislature should exercise the
power 10 intervene, this would be mere transfer
Of the Wilmot Proviso and Buffalo platform from
Congress 10 the Territories, to the uest' uctOn OF

THIS is what we declared everywhere in the
canvass of 1856, 10 be the doctrine of the CnCin-
nattI platform; that sguatter sovereignty was the
northern face 10 1t, and as II was Janus faced the
south only saw the other side. We do not know
which side Gen. CLARK stands upon, but as he
Supports the northern advocates, his political
proclyitIes and moral influence place him in the
awful category of supporting this view, or s,ulti-
flying himself by denying his platform: take eth
er horn OF he dilemma and if he escapes Charib-
dys he Is fast OH Scylla.
But hear his own exposition. See his card
dated Washington City, May 23d, 1860, IN which
he quotes with appreciation Senator Green, who
says that Missouri was ncI divided, except by the
detection OF her delegates. Detection, suppose
means rotten. THIS then, applied to Austin A.
Krg and others who were supporting Doug
Senator Green also said, IL the Missouri delegates
departed from tier instructions they departed
from ;heiI duty.
What was that platform adopted at Jefferson
City? That Congress has no power 70 abolish
slavery IN Territory. %, That the Territorial
Legislature had 10 power 10 abolish slavery there
III, nor 10 prohibit the introduction therein, nor
any power 10 exclude slavery therefrom by I'M
friendly legislation whatever,
When Gen. Clark penned that card and pub
lshed ii, presume he did not expect TO perform
the marvellous feat of ground and lofty tumbling
that the Randolph Cil'-rn ascribes 10 him
Where is he? On an Intervention platform, by the
side OF John Cochrans, the suppOrtero OF The Buff
fao platform; by the side Of Dean Richmond,
who says that slavery is morally wrong, a curse
10 our country, and condemned by the Bible
Side BY side with 10 freesoIl delegates who nomi-
mated Douglas. l take that back; there was Ito
nomination made. democrats being Judges them
selves; then what motive can influence his action
TO take the freesoil chute? Why throw the " hole
moral influence Of hls political position with which
his constituents heve honored him, against them?
Why betray, by his support, the interest of our
State into the balance OF northern agi,ators against
US? II the General can reconcile it 10 his own
conscience 10 thus barter away his seiI-res pect-
the respect of his life long friends, for an Office
have no right of complaint: but it's my duty and
privilege 10 point out the dangers that menace US,
particularly when those dangers are rising up
amongst and receiving the sanction of good men,
posed party ties into the vortex OF AboliuoniSm.
My views have ever been the same upon the
subject of legislation in the Territories that was

Then let me entreat you again 10 abandon heresy
