49, The Enquirer copies an article from

that Douglas is regarded there as an A6OL-
ton candidate. 1t comes with much grace
from that party, to call Lincoln men " Alb
olitionists," doesn't it We ask the Doug
lasites, how about that cry of ssctionGIism
against the Republicans? Why don't you
howl it as you did in 1856? Let US
hear how it will sound now. Lincoln

"Whatever may be the result of this
ephemeral contest between Judge Douglas
and myself, see the day rapidly approach

MeetingfmU Union Township.

There was a Republican meeting at Cat
let's School House, Union Township, near
y opposite Henderson, Ky, on Thurs
day evening. The Lincoln and Hamin
Glee Club went down; also several
other citizens of this place. When they
arrived on the ground they found over fifty
of the voters of the township waiting
The schooI-house was full, and number
Of persons were gathered outside
About nine o'clock the exercises were
commenced by the singing of an inspiring
song, which stirred up the fires of political
feeling that used TO burn 50 brightly when
Union Township gained the banner for Civ
ing the largest Wing vote of any township
in vanderburgh County.
After the song, JAMES c.. JOINS, Esq, OF
this city entertained the audience for over
an hour with a speech replete with convin-
cling argument and entertaining anecdote.
The speech cannot fail of having a saluta-
~ effect upon those present. The old Wings
who have always opposed Sham Democracy
were convinced that the best way now TO

coin and Hamlin, the only candidate with
whom the double-head Gorgon OF Demo-
eracy can be exterminated. Those honest,
well meaning Democrats who mean to do
right, but have been deceived and betrayed
by their designing leaders, had their eyes
opened, and we warrant that some of them
will be turned fron4 the error OF their ways
by the words spo;>en OH the occasion we
write about.
Blythe Hynes, Esq, was present and in
tended to speak, but the lateness of the
hour prevented.
Mr.. Jones and Dir. Hynes were both warm
Fillmore men in 1856, and those of the au-
dience who fought by their side at that
time knew that they would not now be ad-
vocating the claims Of Lincoln if they were
not cure that he stands on the good old
Wing ground in regard to the non-exten-
sion of slavery and other issues
The meeting was closed about half-past
ten o'clock, By another song from the Glee
Club.
On their way home the Glee Club made
the woods ring with Republican music
something new down there, but destined to
become as familiar as the ripping of the
waters of the lovely Ohio.

stu they Come.

Hon. John s. Davis of New Albany in
announcing himself as an independent can
didate for Congress in the second Con-
gressional District, publishes the following
exposition of his views on the Presidential
question Mr. Davis is an old Wing, and
his opinions are certainly entitled to some
credit among the Fillmore men in that sec
ton
As we are on the eve of a Presidential
election, the first inquiry, naturally is, in
relation to my Presidential preferences. On
this subject, as well as on all Others l have
no concealment at all. I prefer Col. Bell
of Tennessee and if my vote would elect
him, would cheerfulIy give it, and feel
that in doing so, was in the performance
of patriotic duty. Col. Bell is a Wing,
and is at once, one of the purest men, and
most enlightened statesmen in the land. He
belonged to the same school politically, with
Mr.. Clay.
While my preferences for Col. Bell are
strong, | would not feel it to be my duty to
advocate and urge his election in a contest
plat MY narrowed down in this State be-
tween other candidates or where my vote
for him would only aid in the election of
the author of the slavery agitation. In
contest between Mr.. Lincoln and Mr. Doug
las. | would favor the former, as his views
in relation to the tariff, and the improve
ment of our great western rivers, and, upon
many other subjects are identical with those
of Col. Bell, both having Wing antecedents.
In truth, l do not regard the opinions of Mr..
Breckenridge, as half so dangerous to the
peace aud prosperity of the country as
those of Mr.. Douglas. The friends Of the
former entertain views, which are, think,
erroneous; but they propose to test them in
the courts, and if necessary, by Congress,
looking all the while to peaceful and law
fu adjudication, without violence. The
views of Mr.. Douglas in relation to our
Territories if carried out necessarily lead
to strife and blood shed, such as were ex
hibited in Kansas. Emigrant aid societies
on the one hand, and Border Ruffians, on
the other will follow. 1t is safe to judge
of the future by the past. Does any good
man wish to see re-enacted the scenes in
Kansas?

where Mr. Buohanan stands.

The Detroit Free Press is now and has
been since 1857 a violent Douglas sheet.
Immediately after Mr.. Buchanan's election
in 1856, that paper thus speculated on the
course he would pursue:
ssHis Administration will not be for the
South as against the North, nor for the
North as against the South
If there be men in
the South who have schemes for the extern
sion of slavery Jy pirtue Of the Dea0 tangled
doctrine that the Constitution carries SLAVERY
into all the territories Of the Union, they 10ii
find in Mr.. Buchanan no sympdthizeT. He
does not 5eliere in the doctrine, He conteasns
it,
Don't Democraticpaper make admirable
prophets Let the people bear in mind that
they are turned prophets again.
