The PROPOSED UNION TICKET IN New YORK.
Friday last was the day fixed upon for the final de-
termination of the question of union between the
Breckenridge and Douglas men. The New York
journal of Commerce seems to fear that no compro-
mise can be effected. The plan proposed by the
Breckenridge men is fifteen Douglas Electors, ten
Bell Electors, and ten Breckenridge Electors. The
Douglas men offer the Breckenridge men only six
Electors, claiming nineteen for Douglas. Of course
if the State should be carried by this arrangement
against Lincoln, the Electors would vote for the
strongest against Lincoln, provided their votes
would elect the strongest man. If no union should
be effected it is probable that New York will vote
for Lincoln; and with the vote of New York it is
probable that he cannot be defeated. The friends
Of Judge Douglas in New York will incur a fearful
responsibility if they do any thing omit to do any
thing which will lead to so dangerous result.

But we tell these freeaters that the people Of
North Carolina can't be prepared" for scheme
to tuck this old State to the tail of South Carolina
in her exit from the Union.-Regaster
And we tell the Register that we know of no such
scheme as the one referred to by him. We are as
much opposed to dsunion any State rights citizen
ought to be, and We know of no Breckenridge man
in this State who is in favor of dissolvng the Union.
If the Register desires to do even common justice to
the friends of Breckenridge in North Carolina, let
him publish the speech of that gentleman recently
delivered at Ashland Kentucky That speech shows
who and where John G. Breckenridge is. He is as
much devoted to the Union as the Editor Of the
Register is, though it is probable he would not SUBJ
init to as much as the Editor would to preserve it
The truth is, North Carolina has never followed
South-Carolina in any of her movements in relation
to the general government. The Union is not like
ly to be dissolved in hurry. Before dissolution
can be accomplished the people will have to be con-
suited in the election of delegates to State Conven
ton The Editor of the Register is one of the peor
pie, and will be entitled to his vote. Meanwhile
Bell and Everett are doing large business in the
way of saving the Union On their own merits and
with their strength they are probably as strong
as Mr.. Fillmore was; and We all know he carried
one State in 1885, A ticket strong enough to carry
only one State out of thrtythree will not be able to
DO much towards saving the Union 1t, therefore,
becomes our neighbor of the Register to sing low
and occupy small space on this subject.

VINO ARE THE UNION Men ?-Whcn the Demo-
Gratis are charged by the Bell men with being dis
unlonists, let them ask these same Bell men what
they have ever done to preserve the Union. The
great danger that threatens the Union had its origin
in the black Republican party, and that party was
formed on the ruins of the old Wing and Know No.
thing parties In the free States it was first Wing,
then Know Nothing, and then black Republican,
Three-:ourths of the members of the black Rcpub-
lican party we're once old line Wings.
The real disunonists are those who are aggressing
on the Constitutional rights of the South. If the
North will let the South alone, and consent to do
her nstice in the common Territories the threats of
disunion, now unfortunately SO common will be
heard no longer

81 The Editor of the Salisbury Banner, in his
report of the speech of Hon. A. w. Vcnable, at the
Breckenridge and Lane mass meeting in Raleigh,
says:
'He spoke of the tuo delegates from this State
who remained in at Baltimore. He was not going
to blame them, but he would have left with those
who went out. No materially stayed in, and
they voted for Douglas, and then they voted for
Fitzpatrick, who had voted for the protection Of
slavery"
Mr. Venable is mistaken. Three delegates re.
NAMED in at Baltimore, to wit, Mr.. Dick, Mr. Wat,
san, and the Editor of this paper. The two latter
did not vote for Mr.. Douglas or Mr.. Fitzpatrick
Mr.. Dick cast one vote, being the vote Of h Dis
trict for Mr. Douglas. Messrs. Watson and Holden
did not vote after the withdrawal of large portion
of the North Carolina delegation.

DEATH OF A REVOLUTIONARY SoLDIER-It is al
ways peculiarly painful to to announce the death
Of an Old Revolutionary Soldier. But, one by one
they are dropping off until soon the last of the no.
ble gallant band, will have passed away. We are
called upon to-day to announce the death of Mr.
Cornelius Clements of Rutherford CO.. which occur
red July 2Sth, 1860. He is the last of our Revou-
tionary sires, in that county, and had attained to
the age of 1O3 years. He was participant in the
memorable battle of Kings Mountain-and was en-
gagged in number of skirmishes with the tories and
Indians, and was regarded as brave and good man.
He was born, we understand where the city of Au-
gusta, Ca, stands and has lived highly respected
by his countrymen throughout long series of years.
He was it is said, consistent member of the Bap-
fist church. We are too little acquainted with the
service and life of the old soldier to pay just trib
ute to his memory. We can only announce the
melancholy event. and express the hope, that he is
amply rewarded in another state of existence for
his services to his beloved country.-Ashe Spec.

Speech of Mr.. Breckinridge.

Do not omit to read the great speech of Mr. Breck-
inridge, delivered at Ashland Kentucky, in behalf
of the Constitution and the Union. Speaking Of
this effort the Boston Post truly says: at is
timely word for the Constitution and the Union; a
clear and mastery statement and defence of the
doctrines of the rational democracy; triumphant
vindcation in words that burn, of the glorious par
ty and its candidates from the foul charge Of dis
unionsm. 1t will appeal to the candor and patriot
ism of the American people, and cannot fail to elicit
response worthy of the cause and Of the country.
1t is noble effort fully sustaining the reputation
of the democratic candidate for cearness of reason
ing manness of tone and high order Of eloquence"

Follow Principlei

\ For twelve years the Democracy of North Caro-
lima have held the doctrine that the people Of the
Territories, before they assume sovereignty, have
no right exclude slavery. The right to regulate
the institution has been freely conceded as set forth
and discussed in Gen. Casss Nicholson letter but
the right to regulate instead Of implying the right
to exclude, carries with it the obligation 20 foster
and protect. The Territorial Legislatures must pro-
tect every species of property within the Territories.
Failing in this duty they fail to demonstrate their
capacity for selfgovernment; for no people can be
capable of governing themselves and of taking rank
among the family of States, who disregard or vio-
late the rights of property and the principles JUS
tice between man and man.
We repeat this has uniformly been the doctrine
OF the Democracy Of this State It is the doctrine
now OF three-fourths of the Douglas Democrats OF
the State. I've have held, and they have held that
the construction given by the majority report at
Charleston to the Cincinnati platform is the correct
construction. They arc then, waving this doctrine
while supporting one candidate, and we are sustain
ing it while supporting another. FLY waving it
we could have united one candidate, and could in
that way have defeated Lincoln, this temporary
omission to assert the doctrine or rather to con-
strue the Cincinnati platfor: in its true sense would
have been not only justfable, but commendable, on
the ground that the election of Lincoln, next to a
dissolution of the Union the destruction of State
rights, would be the greatest Of all calamities; but
no such union could be effected, and hence the De-
mocracy of North Carolina who support Breckin-
ridge and Lane have fallen back on their old doc
trine this subject and are adhering to principle,
hoping for victory either before the people or in the
House Of Representatives, but adhering nevertheless
to principle, whatever may be the result of the pre-
sent contest
Those of us who protest against Territorial sove-
reignty are in tie right We are also consistent.
We are just where we were twelve years ago, when
this slavery agitation commenced Let us maintain
our position-lct us follow principle. five cannot
save the Union by emitting to assert doctrine
which is not vital as the question of slavery IN the
States is VITAL let us assert the doctrine and hold on
toit. Breckenridge and Lane are the embodments
of this doctrine, and Judge Douglas is opposed to
it. That is the whole truth of the matter in a nut
shell.
