WHAT CAlgB CUsHrNG THINKS or BEIL's PosI-
rIoN. The ablest leader of the Breckenridge De-
Inooracy ID the Eastern States is Caleb Cushing
tho President Of the Charleston Convention and
tss Maryland Institute meeting which nominated
Breekinridge and Lame. This gentleman is making
speeehcs and very able ones too, in his section Of
country. in favor of his ticket A few days ago
he made one at Bangor, in Maine. Towards the
close. he made the following succinct statement of
the position or ths several candidates for the Pres
idencg, on the slavery question
MI lincoln asserts the constitutional right and
foprevent the citizens Of the Southern States from
settling with their slave property in the terrific
xies tr- Breckenridge denies this. Mr. Douglas
also denies it. And Mi. Bell denies it.
Mr. Breckenridge asserts the right of the South
erff States to settle in the territories Mr. Bell as-
ssegsft. Mr.. Douglas admits it. Mr.. Breckenridge
and Mr.. Bell maintain further that the Federal
Government i not to Intervene against citizens Of
the Southern States directly, SO also 1t shall not
intervene indirectly through its creature the terri
toriAl legislature and that, If this its creature I'M
dert&kes thus by usurpation to intervene, the Fed
eraI Government shall stay the hand Of its own
creature in other words, THAI the Intervention
i .of the Federal Government shall be complete in
ssnbataHce and fact as well as In pretense and
name. Here Mr.. Douglas separates from them,
and attributes To the Legislature adverse powers
not found III and derived from the Constitution,
and powers denied to il BY the Supreme Court
Mr. Gushing thus rejects the policy Of his South
ern eonfederates who seek to impress upon the
popular mind the belief that Mr. Bell leans towards
RspnbEcansm in his views upon the question of
slavery He deems il more honorable, and more
just, 10 deal canddly and fairly. and, therefore,
places Mf. Bell and Mr.. Breckenridge substantially
apon the Same platform. In this Mr.. Gushing sets
his Southern eonfederates an example which they
woslld 40 well to follow. They know that the
charge Of leaning towards Repubiieanism, which
they make up Mr. Bell il unjust; and that il is
only bg fe grossest persersion of his record they
shsy win find when the people have spoken, that
they kaye only injured themselves by their unfair
ness.
AE IsouIRy Some two weeks ago, Gen Joseph
Lane the Breckenridge candidate for the Vice |
Presidency, made a political stump speech at In /
diauapos, and it was fully reported BY his friends
mp fisere. Its short speech would notfli more
