Judge Douglas at Mobile.

The following is the answer ofJudge Doug
las to several enquiries propounded by the
editor of the Mobile Advertiser, Breckin-
ridge paper. IF that editor ever ventures
out from home again, we will wager treat
that Judge Douglas will be the last man he
will desire to encounter and question:
Eat this point I am reminded that wri-
ter in Breckenridge paper, published in this
city, has propounded to me certain ques-
tons, which he is very anxious shall an
swer Laughter. He first wants to know
whether, if the election goes into the House
of Representatives, and cannot be elected,
will advise my friends to 60 for Lincoln
or Breckenridge? and second, whether, if
Lincoln is elected, will accept seat in his
cabinet? Laughter. have only to say,
that cannot believe that any man reported
to be gentleman could put such questions
to me. Immense applause There is no
language with which can express my scorn
and contempt for the wretch who would in
innate that in any contingency ! would take
Office under Lincoln. Applause The
man who would PROFOUND such question
to me would sell himself in an instant to
Lincoln or any other man who would offer
him his price. Great applause. But l
will say although I do not deem it necess
sary for me to make the declaration-that
in no event will accept Office under Mr..
Lincoln or Mr.. Breckenridge, or any other
sectional candidate who advocates the dos
trine Of Congressional Intervention. And
I may add, that | would not surrender my
seat in the Senate to accept any excessive
appointment under any man who may sue
coed to the Presidency in the present. Gen.
test [Cheers.
To the other question I answer that Zoe
vent or contingency could possibly happen
in which would advise any friend Of mine
to vote for Abraham Lincoln tremendous
applause, or could any event Or contingency
possibly happen in which I would advise
any friend of mine TO vote for John c. Brock
inridge. Tremendous applause. I regard
both as sectional candidates. The one rep
resents the abolitionists of the North, the
other the secessionists and disnnienists Of
the South. Loud cheers.
Besides, if the election goes to- the House
of Representatives, then the duty deS
wolves on the Representatives Of the people
to decide who they will vote for, and new
er intend to interfere. Cheers.l On them
will rest the responsibility. I may be per-
mitted to say that if it goes to the House I
shall not be candidate there ECheers !
I scorn to accept the Presidency as mis-
nority candidate. Three cheers ! anl
not willing to enter the Presidential chair
unless / 60 there by the popular vote, with
the moral power to sustain me in the per-
Torrance of my duties. Loud and long
continued applause.
DR.. Tying CENsURED BY THE CHURCIfMAN.
The Churchman, the organ Of the High
Church Episcopalians, has severe article
upon the Rev. DR.. Tying for having assisted
in laying the corner stone Of Methodist
chapel, and for having appeared in the pull
pit Of Presbyterian church as partic;pa
in the proceedings of the Evangelical ALI
ance It uses the following language:
''The public behavior Of the Rev DR..
Tying is grossly inconsistent with his obi
cations as presbyter of the Church, and
quite as disgraceful to himself as if it were
intended for the purpose ofderiding Chris
tianity.' We most earnestly and seriously
beg to draw the attention Of the Provisional
Bishop of this Diocese to the conduct O. enc
Of the presbyters under his charge. This
is case in which the Bishop is Imperative
Iy bound to exercise his Episcopal authority
and we trust that DR.. Potter will at once
bring his cratic and unruly presbyter to an
account for his conduct"
