Letters OF Acceptance.

We publish this week, the Let-
sers of Vice President Breekinridge
and Senator Lane, accepting the
nominations Of the National De.
mocracy for the Presidency and
Vice Presidency. They will atirsct
attention for their plain, straight-fOr-
ward, patriotic declarations, and The
defence they both furnish to ;be
charges Of disunion sentiments and
"slave CODE designs upon the Dem.
pcratic party by which they have
been put in nomination. The Con-
stitution is the true bond Of Union.
To maintain that 10 letter and spirit;
to yield and secure to the people Of
each and every State the equal
rights which it has stipulated, is the
mission ofthe Democratic party. The
platform upon which our candidates
have been placed, is 10 accordance
with the Constitutional guarantees
end stipulations, and strictly in sc'
cordance with the doctrine of mon
intervention" which formed the basis
Of the Democratic .riumphs Of
1852 and 1856. This is fully en-
forced in the admirable letter o.
Mr.. Breckenridge, and is ground upor
which all National Democrats can stand
we want no halfway house between
the Constitution and John Brown

The Orisio q the Difficulty.

The 0risie # the Difficulty.
The New York Herald, speaking
Of the recent Disturbances in the
Democratic ranks and Of the causes
which led thereto, says:
Shortly after the Inauguration Of
MIR. Buchanan the bred Scott decis-
ion Of the Supreme Court was pro.
mulgated to The world. That decis-
ion, as delivered by Chief Justice
fancy, declares that every citizen
has right to take with him into the
Territories any article Of property
which the constitution Of the United
States recognizes as property, that
1.-THE constitution recognizes slaves
as property. aud pledges the federal
government to protect it, and that
Congress cannot exercise my more
uthority over property Of that de-
scription than it may cons'itutionslly
exercise over property Of any other
kind. The Court further declares
that the powers which Congress In
its discretion may confer upon a
Territorial Government must be pow
ers not exceeding those which Con-
gress itself, by the constitution, is
authorized to exercise.
This decision which sbolishes the
doctrine Of equatter sovereignty over
slavery 10 the Territories, aud estab-
fishes the doctrine Of slavery therein
by the federal aud local authorities
while the Territorial condition re.
mains, was at once promptly accepted
as the supreme law of the land by
the Democratic party. But Mr.
Douglas, in his Illinois campaign Of
1856, threw it Of. 1t was lead
too heavy to carry against the anti
slavery sentiment of that people. he
pleaded that the bred Scott decision
did not, end could not touch the su'
premacy of the popular will 10 the
Territoriss-thst the sovereignty o.
the people was, in fact, beyond the
reach of the Supreme Court. He
followed these views 10 magazine
articles end speeches, until be hac
raised the sovereignty of Territory
TO the sovereignty Of State, ant
boldly pronounced these views as hi
ultimatum to the Charleston Con
ivention.
Frem that moment we predicted
the downfall Of Mr.. Douglas Al
Charleston on the experimental tria
on bis part Of the role Of Van Burs'
of 1S4S. Now our Democratic rsa
lers will perceive the difficulty, TIT
cause of the explosion in their party
camp; and The wide distinction be
tween the Breckenridge and tb'
! Douglas platform. The former rest
upon the bred Scott decision Of th'
Supreme Court; the Douglas plat

Clasps in its jewelrd arms the slpmbeFing earth
Alone sit beside tie slowly light
That like a dreapl.fre Aickers on my hearth,
With some JOY teelning volume in my hand
4 peopled planet, opulent and grand.
It may be Shakespeare, with his endless trains
0fsceptred thoughts glorious progeny
Borne on the whirwind of his mighty strain
Through vision-ands forever far and free
His great mind beaning thro' those phantom crowds,
Like evening sun from out wealth Of clouds.
Il may be Milton, on his seraph wings,
Soaring to heights Of grandeur yet untiod;
Now deep where horrid shapes of darkness cling;
Now lost in spendor at the feet of God;
Girt with the terror of avenging skies,
Or wrapt'in dreams Of Infant Paradise.
II may be spenser, with his misty shades
Where forms of beauty wondrous tales rehearse,
With breezy vistas, and with cool areades
Opening forever in his antique verse.
It may be Chaucer, with his drink divine,
His Tabard old, aud Pilgrims twenty-nine
Perchance linger with the mighty Three
OF glorious Greece, that morning land OF song
Who barred the fearful front of Tragedy,
And scared to fame on pinions broad and strong;
Or watched beneath the Trojan ramparts proud
The dim hosts gathering like thunder cloud.
No rust of time can sully Quixote's mail,
In wonted rest his lance securely lies;
Still is the faithful Sancho stout and hale,
Forever wide his wonder-striken eyes;
And Rosinante, bare and spectral steed,
Still throws gaunt shadows DER their every deed.
