the democratic ticket" takes him to task as more
unsound than Douglas, with all bis views on popu
lar sovereignty, and his abuse of the bred Scott
decision. The latter places slave property upon
the same level with all other property; but not so
does Mr.. Guthrie. SIN lS49, says the writer, sin
the Kentucky Constitutional Convention, he not
only spoke, but voted against provision declar-
ing that the right of the owner of slave to his
property, and its increase is the same and as in
violabe as the right of the owner of any property
whatever"

you will all be looking to- the Administration.
You will all be waiting to see what law can do
what Liberty fettered can do against Slavery un-
bound Agitation will be lulled. Everything like
free and unfettered action will cease. We shall
wait. But let Douglas or any other democrat be
elected, and every man in the free States will arm
himself for the struggle with the slave power

shall make greater anti-slavery progress in four
years than we should do in forty years under such

Mr.. Bates PosITIoN.-The Louisville Journal
says of Mr. Bates avowal in regard to the exten-
sion of slavery,in his letter to the Chicago Delega
tion from Missouri:
''This covers the whole Republican ground 1t
settles the position of Mr.. Bates decisively. He is
md &c.
or bad Republican as Seward or Chase, or Lin
coin is. He is Republican, pure and simple. As
such, of course, the Constitutional Union men of
the South will scorn to touch him. He has, by a
single blow, severed every tie of confidence of
sympathy which connected him with the Southern
conservatives"
Tbe National hteHigencer, in commenting on Mr..
Bates letter, says: These avowals, we suspect,
will hardly conciliate the favor of uncompromising
partisans on either side of the sectional issue,
the territorial question; but for that they
may combine the appreciation of moderate men,
who are willing to concede something of the sum
mum jus, for the sake of harmony and beneficent
administration of the government.
The Republican State Committee of New Hamp-
shire canvassed their State prior to the late cleo
ton, and announced that she would give 4,500 Re-
publican majority. The majority is within dozen
votes of 500. Lancaster the county seat of Coos
returned 3l6 Republican voters, and she poled lust
the number for Governor, but one more for other
Republican candidates. The Republicans of that
ANOTHER John Brown RAID.-At the Hazlett
and Stephens sympathy meeting in Ashtabula
county, Ohio, James RedL Lath is reported to have
said:
Aaron D. Stephens is dead. His brave life was
choked out of him for presuming, without asking
Senator Mason's permission, to believe in the De-
caration of Independence, and, thus believing, for
still further daring Ito use his Captains word, J
''to put that thing through" or, in the words of
God, as rendered by Isaiah, for attempting to
"Proclaim Liberty throughout all the land unto all
the inhabitants thereof" Many of you knew him.

THE New AFRICAN CorroN REGIoN.-The exten-
sive lands in the interior of Africa suited for the
cultivation of cotton, and recently discovered by
Dr. Livingstone, are said to equal in extent the
tire State of Mississippi. Mr.. Clogg, one of the
principal manufacturers of Manchester, has re-
ceived six samples of cotton grown in that part of
Africa, and he values the staple variously, from
ten to fifteen cents pound. Several kinds of cot
ton only require planting in every three
years. DR.. Livingstone has submitted to the Eng
ish Government plan for the occupation of this
new field, by which it may be brought under the
