The Buffalo Commercial 1dcertiser form
erly Millard Fillmore's organ, and the lead
ing Wing and American paper in Western
New York, in Il late issue publishes the fol.
lowing sensible editorial
Whom will you support? What candi-
date is most in accordance with your prin-
ciples? And can you by voting for him, do
him or yourselves any practical good >
Expediency, though often sneered at, is, af-
ter ALL another name for practicability.-
Doubtless Bell and Everett are the candi-
dates having the strongest claim upon your
sympathies. Their platform is in their po-
litical history, and that you approve. If a
vote were mere expression Of opinion, a
declaration of principle, you could come
nearest your private sentiments by voting
for them. But vote is something else
1t is not principle, not necessarily an ex-
preston of principle, but an engine of pow
er by which You endeavor to produce Ger
tain results in harmony with your princi-
Piles.
In using it you should endeavor to make
it practical, TO do the most good for the
principle, and not 10 make it a mere empty
word of approval, a complement to men
who are not to be benefited by it. Now,
will vote for Bell and Everett be anything
more or less than this Your field of ac-
tion is in New York, and you know that
10y no possibility can John Bell secure the
electoral vote of this State. In voting for
him you assume the position of q neutral
in the war, and that when your positive ac-
ton is needed, when a vote for Bell is half
a vote for the Democratic party. Compare
your own position with that of the Repub-
licans of Maryland. They will vote for
John Bell, not because they prefer him to
Lincoln, but because they wish to do some
active good in the campaign. And were
we in Maryland we should look upon vote
cast for Lincoln there as quite as impolitic
as "A vote for Bell here. 1t is purely aques-
ton of locality. The opposition has three
wings-the Republican party North, the
Union party South, and the Peoples Party
in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware.
These three are one in their main purposes.
The first and last act together now the
union of the second with them is a dead
certainty after the fourth of March next.

/ james Buchanan aud Jesse D. Bright are
! just now the special objects of the scorn and
deuunciation of the Douglas Democrats OF
/ Indiana. James Buchanan was elected four
years ago by their aid as President Of the
: United States. They are responsible for all
his tyranny, prescription, sad corruption,
for they helped to put him in the position
he has disgraced. So in regard to Jesse D.
Bright. Well do we remember how the
same men resorted to all sorts of infamous
fraud and outrage upon the rights OF the
Opposition of the State, in order that King
Jesse might revel six years longer in his
usurped seat in the L. S. Senate. This same
Douglas Democracy winked at aHd upheld
the base frauds in this State, Illinois, and
Pennsylvania, by which Buchanan obtained
his ill-gotten election.
vengeance is mine l Will repay, saith
the Lord " The hand Of Providence is in
this affair. There is an eternal principle Of
Observation-Disclosures the concerns
of this world. These men-Buchanan and
Bright--were assisted in obtaining power
in the vilest manner by these Douglas De-
mocrats. They have no right to complain
if they have gotten King Stork to eat
them up. 1t is a Judgment on them for
their political dishonesty. There is q say
ing, " Cheating luck never thrives." So it
has resulted in this instance.
The Evansville Enquirer, Indiana State
Sentinel, Terre Haute Journal, and New Al
bany Ledger are now particularly bitter
against Buchanan and Bright. They were
the worst and most unscrupuIous of the pa
pers that assisted in eecting these gentle
men. 1t is well known rule of law, '' The
principal is responsible for the acts of his
agent" Buchanan and Bright were made
the agents of these men who now denOunce
them. Therefore they have to bear the re-
sponsibility of their acts. They gave Bu-
chanan a letter of credit on the American
people for four years, and Bright for six
years-the people trusted them on that re-
commendation-and now the obligations in
Cured cannot be repudiated. Those who
issued the letters of credit will be held TO
their responsibility.

RG- Gov. Willard, in speech made at
New Albany, alludes to the Soap Factory
ana Water Lot transaction of Caleb b.
Smith, while Fund Commissioner of the
State. Willard certainly knows, and if
honest, would have said, that the property
was taken by Smith as collateral, for debt,
and that debt originated under the agency
of NJ. G.. Bright.
1t is a fact which Willard knows, too,
that the property was sold by Smith S DEM
ocratic successors for "a nominal sum, and
that the lots have since so much appreciated
in value as to be worth the full amount of
the State debt.-Terre Haute Erprcss.

THE Charlottesville (Va.) Reuie,0 states
that on Friday night week, in Charlottes-
vile, ga serenade was gotten up in honor
of Mr.. Pryor, who has been sojourning there
for several days, in discharge of his duties
as Visitor of the University of Virginia. On
being called out be made a handsome ad-
dress, in which he frankly aud candidly
gave his views Of the present condition of
public affairs. He said that the Ma.
tional Democratic party had no longer an
existence; that it was perfectly impotent,
and so enveloped by corruption that it abso-
lutely needed to be chastened by defeat and
prvation.'

ga The Rockport Democrat publishes
The platform adopted by the Charleston
Convention, and leaves the inference to be
made that it is the Douglas Democratic
platform upon which the party now stands.
Is it possible that a paper of the standing of
the Democrat should attempt to misead the
honest voters of Spencer county? Why
don't it publish the additional resolution
adopted at Baltimore, which pledges the
party irrevocably to abide by any measure
of restriction, however unjust and odious,
which the Supreme Court, in all time to
come, may place upon the sovereignty of
the people of the Territories. The Enqur-
er here, while processing popular sovereign
ty, fully endorses and justifes this resolution
which completely gives the lie to all popu-
lar sovereignty Does the Democrat do
this?
Here is the resolution alluded to- Will the
Democrat publish it as part of its platform
We shall await the result with curiosity.
ResoIUed, That it is in accordance with
the Cincinnati Platform that during the ex-
istence of Territorial Governments the
measure of restriction, whatever it may be,
imposed by the Federal Constitution on the
power of the Territorial Legislature, over
the subject of their domestic relations, as
the same has been or shall hereafter be
finally determined by the Supreme Court of
the United States, should be respected by
all good citizens, and enforced with prompt
ness and fidelity by every branch Of the
General Government.

by our readers, how witty Douglas and his

that he knows nothing of the trade, having

not long enough to make a respectable

begotten of confidence in an easy victory,

the next President of the United States, if

comes before the 4th of March, and that the
hard work of the contest must precede the
jubilee of the Inauguration. Meanwhile he
