From the Dayton Daily Empire.
The Supreme JudgeShip


In behalf of the Democracy of the
Miami Valley, and especially OF
Montgomery county, we thank tho
members of the Democratic State
Convention on Wednesday, for the
high honor conferred upon us by Sc.
ecting for the important position Of
Supreme Judge OF Ohio. a citizen Of
this valley and county,-Hon. Tho,
mas j. S. Smith. The uDanimity and
harmony with which he was chosen, is
indeed a worthy compliments bestowed
upon a worthy man and a worthy
Democrat, and should the people Of
the State, ratiiy the nomination of
Wednesday, which We hope and be-
leve they will, on the second Tues.
day Of October, by eleyating MIR.
Smith to the high position for which
he has been selected, we are confidant
no act OF his will ever cause regret to
those who nominated him, or to those
who vote for him. A true gentleman,
an able lawyer, a stauuch Democrat
and an honest man, his past life is
guarantee for bis future acts; and
when, in assuming the duties OF the
position, and he takes the oath Of OF.
flee it will be done without any "men.
tai reservations" and with determi-
nation to faithfully, sincerely, and full
ly carry out all the requirements Of
the COnstitution-unswayed by parti.
zan influences, and uncontrolled by
party dictation. When the votes shall
have been counted, it will be seen,
that he belongs to that class Of men,
.of whom there are TOO few, who are
most popular where best known. His
name will indeed be a tower Of
strength for the Democracy in this
section of the State, and they will
prove that the confidence bestowed by
The Convention was not undeserved,
by giving Mr.. Smith, and the balance
of the Democratic ticket, such vote
as has not been cast for years in this
region. And we pledge that if the
balance OF tie State will do as well tor
our cause, as will Montgomery and
the Third District, the Conservative
people Of Ohio will have the proud
satisfaction Of saying in October next
that "Ohio has been redeemed" and
has again taken her place in the ranks
of the Union-loviug and aw.obeying
States Of the Confederacy.
The Daily journal, Of this city, a
paper which supports Lincoln and the
Republican State Ticket, thus speaks
Of Mr.. Smith, the Democratic nomi-
nee for Supreme Judge:
I. j. S. Smith, Esq, of seity is
the nominee Of the Democratic State
Convention FOR Supreme Judge. 1t
is by far by the best nomination on
the ticket. Mr.. Smith has the neces.
sary qualifications for the place, and
is besides gentleman who has the
esteem Of the people here in Mont.
gomery among whom lie has lived so
long. The Convention has done it.
self credit by giving him a place so
prominent on the State ticket.

When Democrats are told by the
DisuniOn Yanceyites that the Su.

cided in the case oil Dred Scott that a
Territorial Legislature could not pro.
hibit slavery, let them answer it by
reading the following extract from the

for the jurisdiction OF the Government

in great measure, is beyond the
cognlzance of the judiciary depart.
Of that Government. How much
municipal power may be exercised by

their admission to the Union the
courts Of justice cannot decide. This
must depend, for the most part, on po

HeTScheI V. JOhnSOM's Opinion
Republican FalschOOdS and
MISREPRESENTATION

Misrepresentation.
The Republicans are consta1nS
misrepresenting the opinions of Coy.
johnson, the Democratic candidate
for Vice President, on the question of
popular sovereignty. On the 2Sth oI
June, 1850, he made speech at Ma,
con, which is published in full in the
Augusta COnStitutiOna2ist. We ex-
tract from it as follows:
81 repeat that we are bound to the
doctrine Of 'non.interference by Con.
gress with slavery in State. or Terri.
tory, or the District OF Columbia. =
We are bound to It, not for a day or a
year, but for the future, 50 long as the
North shall faithfully adhere to it.
Mr. Breckenridge is personally bound
by it, in virtue of his acceptance Ct
the nomination for the Vice Presiden.
cy, in 1856, by the Convention that
! adopted the foregoing resolutions, ]
appeal to every fair-minded man to
say whether Congressional slave,
code or Congressional legislation for
the protection of slavery in the Ter.
ritories is not interference by Con
gress9 Is it not utterly incompatible
with the idea of 'non.interferencep- >
Is it not bad faith, in the face of this
firm, compact between the sections,
to insist upon it9 Is if generous to
our fellow Democrats of the North!-
Is it wise, in view Of all our surround
inge, to leopard the integrity and tri
umph OF the party upon such an issuei
J.
'ln Georgia it has been adopted in
the State party conventions and legis-
Ilature resolves from 1851 down 10 the
present time; in sovereign convention
she agreed to it, in 1850 as perma
nent and final settlement of the sla
very question. No one can deny it
or evade it. That was our agree
ment. We are bound by it. Thu
State is bound by it. The South il
bound by it. The whole Democratic
party, North, South, East and West
is bound by it. Honor, interest and
policy all unite in demanding faith
ful adhesion to it.
"But it is said that q Congressiona
slave code for the Territories, is no
intervention--does not violate tht
priciple of on.intervention. This i
the snbterfuge under which the seces
sioriSts vainly attempt to shelter thei
, defenseless position. Non-irterven
tion is non.interference, Intervention
is interference; therefore, whatever in
terferes with slavery in the Terrific
ries is Observation-Disclosures non in
tervention. Without any critica! .pla,
upon words, it would strike every I'M
biased mind that this is the plail
! common.senSe idea Of non,interYen
J ton"
From the above no man can mis-
take the views of Gov. johnson. H
is for non-intervention now and for
ever, as long as tho North stands b
, she doctrine.

OThe Baltimore Patriot, an op-
position journal, refers to Mr.. John
son, the candidate for Vice President
on the Douglas ticket, in the follow
ing terms:
We know the gentleman personally,
and we are free to say that, though
not his political friend, he has our most
cordial sympathies in the work Of re.
deeming the south from the tyranny
of that intolerable public opinion
which a few Hotspurs have managed
to impose upon as noble people as
ever the sun shone upon. And there
is no man in the whole South, politics
apart, whom we would sooner see, ,Got
only Vice President, but President.
He is one of our soundest AMI most
reliable statesmen.

S. J. MURRAY EsQ.,--ANoTHER
AccEssIoN.-We understand that this
gentleman, who has heretofore al.
ways acted with the Opposition, has
declared his intention to support
Stephen A. Douglas. Mr.. Murray is
a prominent lawyer in the northern
part of this County, and a pretty ef-
fective stumper. He made speech
at Greenbpsh a few evenings ago,
which is spoken Of very highly, and
which we have no doubt will be very
effective in that region. We are glad
to announce Mr.. Murray as an acces-
sion to the only party which is con-
stitutional. Being q good lawyer, it
is the only proper place for him.

PMr. II. @. Jones is the son Of
David Jones. David Jones is the
Republican candidate for County Au
ditor. H. G. Jones is the Republican
County Surveyor, It is question in
the minds ofmany people, whether or
not the Jones family want to monop'
lize all the county Offices. "Too much
of good thing is good for nothing"
and while the people might be able to
put up with one Jones, taOO would be
"piling up the agony" beyond human
endurance.

Mr.. EDITOR Our Republican
brethren appear to be cast down in
spirits; a dark cloud is gathering over
them, and they dread the conSequen'
ces of the coming storm. Their lead
ers are active enough, but the people
whom they would lead are sadly in.
different to all their arguments and
entreaties. They have tried to rally
them on the tariff, on the homestead
and on the "nigger," but, alas! they
won't respond. The thousands of
Union loving people that cordially
and cheerfully meet Douglas in his
march from city to city, the great and
enthusiastic ratification meetings all
over the country, and finally tue doc

the masses, know that the Little Gi.

TURN IN iT."--Gen. 10. Lane, the
Democratic candidate for the Vice
Presidency on the Breckiuridge tick
ct, in speech at Concord, New
Hampshire, during the Presidential
campaign of1S56, used this language:
The question of slavery is most
porplexing one, and should not be
agitated. We should leave it with
the States where it constitutionally
exists, and to the people of the Terri
tories to prohibit or establish, as to
them may seem right and proper"
This same Gen. 10. Land in a late
speech in the United States Senate,
used this language:

establish, or abolish slavery. No
such right is conferred on them by
the Constitution"
