THEIR PnsITInN

The Baltimore Patriot gives the following
brief statement of the views of the different
Presidential candidates. on the greatquestions
at issue before the country -
ssThey all profess to be agreed upon one
point, and that is to execute the Federal Gov
ernment, upon the basis of the Constitution
and the laws. But there is a vast difference
between the candidates as TO what the Consti-
tuition means, and what ought to be the laws,
so that there is, after all, wide latitude for
choice. If we take, for instance, the question
of slave labor in the Territories, we find no two
are agreed, and as this is the questic that has
just divided the Democratic party, and kept
the Opposition to that old party asunder, it
will be proper to recur briefly to the opinions
of the several candidates thereupon. Col.
Beli'S position on this question, as ascertained
from bis Congressional record. is in favor of
the right of the STAKEHOLDER, under the Consti-
tuition, TO settle in the Territories with his
slaves, and against the Intervention by Con-
gress with that right, except so far as to pro-
tect him in the exercise of his rights, If assail-
ed. Mr.. Lincoln denies the right of the slave
holder, under the Constitution, to settle in the
Territories with his slaves, and is avowedy in
favor of Congressional Intervention to exclude
Slavery from the Territories. Judge Douglas
comedies the right of the stakeholder, under
the Constitution, to carry his slaves into the
Territories, but is opposed to Congressional
Intervention with that right in any way what
ever, leaving it to the disposition of the SOW
ereign people of the Territories. Mr.. Breck-
inridge claims the cons titutional right of the
stakeholder to carry his slaves into any Terri
tory of the Union, and there to hold them; in
spite of any Territorial legislation to the con-
trary, and is in favor of protecting this right
now, by the direct Intervention of Congress
through the enactment of Slave Code. On
the question of the admission of new Slave
States, we find all the candidates are agreed.
They all appear to be ready TO yield to the de-
csion of the sovereign people of a new State,
whether they will have Slavery not, and to
admit the new States, either with without
the institution, so that the Government is Re-
publican. The difference of opinion of the
candidates upon the subject of the tariff is rad
icai. Col. Bell and Mr.. Lincoln are still
Wings upon>this point, and are for the enact
ment of Insufficient to carry on the Gov
ernment economically, and at the same time
to encourage American Industry. Judge
Douglas and Mr.. Breckenridge are one or this
subject, and are in favor of low duties and ex-
travagant expenditure, and against protecting
American manufactures, through the agency of
tariff. They remain Democratso this point.''

that had passed, with rigid Indifference NOV
ed toward card table and sat down to play a
game of whist. The captain, in few minutes
afterward, stepped up to the lady to excuse
himself, as he was engaged to another he had
forgotten. The coquette much chagrined, ap-
preached the whist table, in hopes to secure
her first partner, and said: esI believe, Mr.,B

1925. He is consequently 135 years DID,
Shortly after his birth bis father purchased a

for the last year or two his health has been

BRECKENRIDGE rs. BREcKIyRfpGE.-In his
late letter accepting the nomination of the Sc
ceders for the Presidency, Mr.. Breckinridge,
speaking for himself and his associates, uses
the following language -
"They hold the doctrine of non Intervention
by Congress or by Territorial Legislature,
either to establish or prohibit slavery but
they assert Qortified by the highest judicial
tribunal in the Union) the plain daty of the
Federal Government, in all its departments
to secure. when necessary, to the citizens of
all the States the enjoyment of their property
IN the common Territories, as everywhere else
within its jurisdiction. The only logical an
swer TO this would seem to be to claim sove-
reign power for the Territories, or to deny
that the Constitution recognizes property in
the services of negro slaves, or TO deny that
such property can exist.''
In a speech which the same individual de-
lvered at Lexington, in 1856, after he had
been elected Vice President of the u. States,
he thus endorsed ssSquatter Sovereignty 30
ssUpon the distressing question of domestic
slavery, their (the Democratic party's) posi-
tion is clear. The whole power of the DEM
ocratic organization is pledged to the follow
ing propositions That Congress shall not
intervene upon that subject in the States, in
the Territories, or in the District of Colum-
bia that the people of each Territory shall
determine the question for themselves, with
out discrimination on account of the allow
ance or prohibition of slavery"
Judging by these extracts, it is pretty GER
tain that consistency is not one of the Vice
Presidents prominent qualities. He wheels
about with facility that at once entities him
to leadership in the ranks of the Democracy.

TURPEYTINE FOR SNAKE BIrEs.-Henry Jen-

head and rattlesnake having been followed by
speedy cures. A lady of his acquaintance,
who was bitten by rattlesnake, was cured by
it, as also was man who had been bitten by a
copperhead. The tnrpentine should be put in
bottle, and the mouth being placed over the
spot. the liquid is brought directly in contact
with the wound by inverting the bottle, and
should be held there until relief is obtained.
A complete alleviation of pain has been known
to ensue in less than quarter of an hour.
