Manifesto OF OLD Josh Giddings-LincOIn
10 use the Army and Navy to give the
Slaves their Notwithstanding Doctrines
slave InsurrectiOns and tn cir Remedy.
To III. Editors of the Evening Post;
This kind of domestic violence" is becoming fire.
uuent and will propbably be more so in coming
time Ii is therefore proper that our true cOnstltu-
tional duties should be understood by the people
The 4th section of the 4th article reads as follows
The United States shall guaranty to each State Re
publican form of Government, and shall protect
each of them against INVASION and on application of
the Legislature or of the executive (when the Lig-
islature cannot be convened) against domestic vio-
lence.
1t would appear difficult to msconstrue this Ian
guage. Protection to the State and its people is the
entire object of this provision. 1t to put down
insergents BY ball and bsyonet by the halter or
the gibbet Nor is it to hold slaves for their masters
to work for them. If such were the obligations of
the Constitution Mr. Garrison might well call it "a
covenant with death and an agreement with HE'LL
The State has the right to enfOre its own laws If 1t
can nor has the federal Executive the right to enter
fere until called on for that purpose. But when
called on for protection he must render such pro-
lection in that way which shall be most consistent
with Justice and not with injustice. This war pow
is an unlimited disposition lying behind all const
tuition and ali laws and is less understood by the
American people than almost any other feature of
our Government. If necessary to protect the peo-
pie the army may be use TO shoot down slaves; but
the lnsurgent slaves can DC pAClneuo " having heH

Florada war by General Scott and Jessup and Tay-
lOr.
The whole theory and practic to which have al
luded is in perfect accordance with the Republican
platform, which declares that our Government was
instituted to secure life and property and not to
destroy the enjoyment of these rights by shooting
down slaves, or holding them for their master to
work them" JOSHUA r GIDDTNGs.

in Illinois making speeches for Lincoln, said in
BEIL-EvEEETT speech, that he made to the
BELL club of Knoxville "Lincoln If elected ,could

Let it be remembered that LEvERErT SALToNsrAIL,
the chairman OF the BELIrEVERErT committee OF

Let it be remembered that at the same meeting

in Massachusetts, said
sOn the other hand how has it been with Mr. Bell:

reliable information received from all parts of

K HowARD has also contributed much towards pro-
ducng the reaction now going on in this region. He
has canvassed every county and we have the NEST
gratifying results produced by his able and eloquent
speeches, Col. HowARD addressed the people Of
Memphis on Tuesday evening last and it has been
regarded by all as one of the best speeches of the
canvass. 1t was sound, statesmanlike argument
from beginning to the end-a dignifed and impartial
review of the issues now before the people. Alto
gether, the speech was one of those rare eombina-
tons of deep-searching thought eloquently express
ed with feeling not more deep its tone than passion
ate in expression. which, while it won the enthusi
astic applause of the moment, also left a lasting
impression 1t was eloquent, comprehensive. bold
and masculine. 1t was not only defence of De.

The ART OF SavTSG.-Benjamin Franklin in his
writings tells us that Poor Richard declared an
ounce of prevention was worth pound of cure, y
and the dear good old man was right. He, Poor
Richard would insist upon mendng everything as
soon as it was brokens and thereby saved much
trouble and loss from enlargement Of the injury.
One day, witty woman said to a venerable Quaker,
noted for his strenuous adherence to the principles
of ,'PoOr Rcbard.p ~
" You are always for mending and patching. and
yet in spite of your doctrine, that "a stitch in time
nine, III lay you something pretty, thata rent
or hole will wear ttoice as long as patch"
Even so, my good dame" replied the Quaker,
but garment with patches viii wear thrice as long
as with rents or holes"
What would Poor Richard or Benjaman Franklin
have said if Spddiag Prepared Ghe had been in
isance during their time 1t is certainly the great
est ecOnOniSer introduced to the public, and its
remarkable teRdcity makes it reliable method of

you hurt your FOOT" The North has kicked the
South,said Polk, and MAYNARD turns around with an

We feel that it is due to our friends that we should
give them our estimate Of the probable result Of
the approaching election. We have nothing to say
in boastful spirit We wish to say nothing that
will make our friends over confident, and thus
cause them to relax their energies. We have re-
csixed from every portion of the State Whit We
regard as reliable data upon which to base an est-
mate. From the figures which we have received
from gentlemen, the correctness of whose Judgment
has been tested in former canyasses we shall be de-
ceiyed if our plurality be not as great as our ma
iority ever has been except in two or three in
stances. In forming this judgement, We expect that
every friend Of cause Will devote every energy
to secure triumph We expect our friends to do
as they have done heretofore. We expect them to
work. Our information from the ether States in
duces us to believe that Maryland, Kentucky and Mis-
souri, the emily Southern States that are doubtful

made to our ticket from BELL and DOUGLAS under

necessity Of uniting the South is bringing to our
standard hundreds Of those who never voted with
us before. Our friends there are now sanguine Of
