sam on THE SUBJECT, THERE Is A HIGHER LAW. IT'S
FIAT Il GIVEN IN THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE. lof-
RI Ar SOW REIGNTY is THE EXPRESSION OF lhAl
Ivwu Mr.. Hickman, the boldest and clearest ln-
tellect of the followers Of Mr.. Douglas, no" up
braids him for his timidity and treachery' mas
manfully east off the mask, and SNOW an aNo"ed
leader in the Republican ranks. His fuglenah'
Fornev. openly advocates a coalition with Ihe
RIack Republicans to defeat our candidates. We
see nresses. and leaders, and orators pulling down
the Douglas and raising the Republican tiag. We
saw to the Democrats of the Olden time and TO hie
Young Democrats of the present day, beware OIL
the insidious advances of the enemy. Beware oi
the first fatal step towards Republicanism and To-
wards disuniOn. Rally to the Old nag. kally on
the tried leaders. BE not sloughed on INTO Inc
Abolition camp with Hickman and others we
believe YOU will be satisfied of the tendency OF the
Donglas organization towards Republcanism.
Indeed the entire organization will melt and Is
melting AWAY. The freesOilisIn of 1t Is now being
4 absorbed in the Republican ranks, and The true
Democrats of whom there are large numbers, are
falling back into line with the old comrades. with
whom they have achieved the triumphs OF the
Democracy.
BRECKINRlDGE AND DOUGLAS.
Consider the spectacle presented to US by the
Democratic and the Douglas candidates LOT tne
: Presidency. Mr.. Breckenridge has retired 10 ms
ouiet home in kentucky. there calmly and with
/, dignity TO await the verdict of the people. Mr..
Douglas is trayersing the country, especially IN
the North and East, dosing out the panacea oil
{ " squatter sovereignty as a remedy for all our
Ills appealing to the = higher law and endeav-
I oringi with the magic Of his words and his pres
enee. to cajole the people to his support. In this
c he will miserably fail. In the exalted position o.
e President of these United States, the people Will
; exact something more than the qualities oil a
travelling mountebank. Mr.. Douglas in bis re-
J, cent letter has averred that his object was to take
: the question of slavery out Of the halls OF Con
: eress and vet during this whole Administrator
= he has kept up the slavery agitation with a per
= ~sistency and a f~crceness amounting almost TO In
sanity. IL has caused him TO neglect every othel
G duty in Congress except the defense OF his con
e ~sistency, and the advocacy of his views IN regard
II to slavery. He has been remarkable Tor MS Ia
II cility in lodging votes, and when he dld VOte' lol
his votes with the Republicans. With that party
e not only did be vote on the LecomptOn question
but on most incidental questions. in total ineon
~sistency with his former votes. With that part!
he coaiesced. not simply in his votes on sucl
minor questions as the election of a public printer
etc, hut in determining who in the Senate OF tn
United States were the representatives OF tn
sovereign States of Indiana. He has been arebel
d both to the organization and TO the principles Q
the party. He has voted against Its platform AM
S, its candidates.
