Mr.. James G. Watson, astronomer at the
Ann Arbor (Mich.) Observatory, writes to
tho Detroit Tribune that the Comet now
visible is not that of 1865, predicted for
this year, but stranger. 1t passed its
perihelion, or point nearest the sun, on tho
10th inst, at a distance from the sun of
twenty-nine millions Of miles. 1t is now
receding from the sun and approaching the
earth. 1t will be nearest the earth on the
18th Of July, and will then be distant from
us forty-two millions of miles. The comet
will be brightest on the 18th of July, and
since the moonlight will not interfere at
that date, it will present a magnificent ap-
Pearance: It is now moving rapidly toward
the South and East, but will continue visi-
bic until the beginning Of August.

More Of Johnson,s record.
In the Pittsburg Journal of tho I'd inst.

'oAPfTAL SHOULD own ITS LABOR"
Write il out and look at it, all you labor.
ing and toiling thousands Of this city and
State. The Democracy (Heaven save tho
mark } at Baltimore have nominated a
ticket, on which johnson Of Georgia, Is a
candidate for Vice President. This man,
on the 18th Of September, 1856, made a
speech in Philadelphia in which he said:
"Wo believe capital should own labor; is
there any doubt there must be laboring
class everywherei In all countries and un-
der every form Of social organization there
must be laboring clsss-a class Of men
who get their living by the sweat of their
brow; and then there must be another class
that controls and directs the capital Of the
country"
We ask our readers, thousands Of whom
are men whose hands have been hardened
by toll, we ask you now, ifyou can. TO vote
for ticket that carries on it the name Of a
man who can unblushingly, in the capital
Of this mighty labor State, stand up and say
that the owners of our foundries, rolling
mills, coal mines and farms should own the
sinews and the souls ofthoSe ,oho "earn
their bread By the sWeat oftteir 6roO."
And moreover, this vile calumniator OF
honester men than he dares to be, puts his
argument boldly upon the ground that cap
itdL should own its labor because IL is labor
"There is" says he, "a laboring class, and a
ruling class y
What man is this, who has the bardihood
to cast such a slur upon our Institutions
"a laboring class owned by capital Indeed !
Who were Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sher-
man, Gen. Green, and hosts of our best and
greatest men, but Of the laboring class! Let
johnson come to our city, and we will point
him to the capitalist who is also the laborer,
and the laborer who has his snug sum in
the bank for rainy day. This is your
Democratic hero of 1860, whose highest
idea Of labor is what he sees scourged daily
to the rice swamps or exposed on the auc-
ton block HIS labor is the down-trodden
one whom the man-stealer plucks from his
family, chains in the coffle, audsends clank-
ing to the life doom of unrequitted toll =
To our Democratic Vice-Presidential candi-
date, every man of Pennsylvania "who eats
his bread in the sweat Of his face" is so
much bone and siuew to be bought and sold
by "capital" and owned by "capital," whip
ped by ''capital," plundered by capital
and damned if capital please Mind, it
is ''labor" that ''capital" should own not af-
ricans, nor Indians, nor Japanese, nor Chi
nese coolies, nor any particular class of toll
ers, but "labor," which, the thing being put
for the person, includes all men who do la
Dor, whether in the deadly rice swamp un-
der the scorching sun of Georgia, or by the
blazing forges of Pennsylvania The labor
ing man who, knowing of that speech of
Johnson's, would yet vote for him for any
Office, deserves to be a plantation slave, and
should sOork to the crack Of the sOhip all
the days Of has life.

sonal character with Mr.. Lincoln. / have

ator Douglas, delivered at Springfield, ILL.,,
July 18th, 1868.
81 do not anticipate any personal collis-
ion between Mr.. Lincoln and myself. You
all know that am an amiable, good-natur-

ing testimony to the fact that Mr.. Lincoln

better citizen and no kinder hearted man,

ability."-[Same speech at Spring6eld.]
Il never charged him (Lincoln) with vot-
ing against tho supplies in my life because,
! knew he was not in Congress when they
we're voted. The war was commenced on
the 18th day of May, 1916, and on that
day we appropriated in Congress ten mill
ion of dollars and fifty thousand of men, to
prosecute it. During the same session we
voted more men and moro money, SO that
by the time Mr.. Lincoln entered Congress
VIC bad enough men and enough money to
carry on the war, and had no occasion TO vote
for any more."- Douglas reply to Lincoln
in the Depot at Alton, Oct, 10, 1851

The Tide Rising.

After the complete abandonment of
popular sovereignty" by the Douglas frag-
ment at Baltimore, it was too much to sup
pose that honest men who really believed
there was something in the doctrine would
continue to adhere to the pretense. Some
whose faith would stagger at nothing, might
continue to do so, but many must refuse to
continue in the faith. When the record of
Herschel V. johnson, candidate for Vice
President, is added to the Baltimore addi-
tional resolve, the dose becomes almost i'm
possible for any sane man to swallow. It
seems by the following, which we clip from
the Cleveland Herald of the Sd inst, that
dose is already being refused. There can
be no question but what multitudes more
will act in the same way: .i...
Councilman Stephan, Of the West Side,
"a Democrat for twenty-five years-repu-
dated Douglas because he showed will
ingness TO "make concessions in the Plat
FORM" and because the Baltimore Conven-
ton appended the Wickliffe resolution, APP
proving the Dred Scott decision. A half
dozen other Democrats on the same occa-
sion gave in their adhesion to the Republi-
can party and these arc followed by scores
of other Democrats, including men who
have been prominent in the Douglas rank.
This stampede will be increased to complete
depletion Of the Douglas rank when it shall
be fully realized that not only were conces-
sions made in the platform, but candidate
for Vice President put on the ticket with
Douglas who holds not one sentiment in ac-
cordance with the doctrine Of Popular Sow
ereignty. ua.a t.t SAP

Abe Lincoln on pisunion.

Last winter, when the Democrats 10 Con
gress were SO ferociously threatening the
Union, Mr.. LINCOLN was in Leavenworth,
Kansas, where he made aspeech from which
thefollowipg sensible remarks are extracted.
His policy with the Disunionists, should he
be elected President, Gas he iOiH be- is
plainly set forth. Read:
"You Democrats greatly fear the success
OF the Republicans would destroy the Un-
ion. Whyi Do the Republicans declare
against the Unionl Nothing like it. Your
own statement Of it is, that if the Black Re
publicans elect President, you won't stand
it ] You will break up the Union. That
will be your act, not ours. To justify it, you
must show that our policy gives you just
cause for such desperate action. Can you
do that! When you attempt it you will
find our policy is exactly the policy of the
men who made the Union, nothing more or
nothing less. Do you think you are justi-
fed to break up the Government rather
than have it administered as it was admin
istered by Washington, and other good and
great men who made it, and first admins
tered itG Ifyou do, you are very unrcas-
enable, and moro reasonable men cannot
and will not submit to you. While you
elect Presidents, we submit, neither break
ing nor attempting to break up tho Union.
If we shall constitutionally elect President,
it will be our duty to see that you submit.
Old John Brown has just been hung for
treason against State. We cannot object,
even though he thought slavery wrong
That cannot excuse violence, bloodshed, and
treason. 1t could avail him nothing that
he might think himself right, So, il con-
stitutionally we elect a President, and
therefore you undertake to destroy the Un-
ion, 1T WILL BE OUR DUTY TO
DEAL WITH YOU AS OLD JOHN
BROWN HAS BEEN DEALT WITH.
We shall try to do ourduty. We hope and
believe that in no section will majority so
act as to render such extreme measures nee
essary."

raise Pretcnsea Of Ihe Douglaaites.

II Mr. Douglas had been willing to pre-
vent the disruption of the Democratic par
ty, he could have done it by his single act.
His friends cared nothing about the princi-
pie involved in the territorial question, as is
clear from their nomination of Senator Fiiz-
patrick, who occupies the true Democratic
ground, sVho Voted for every one of the
Senate resolutions, vAo consequently stands
on the same platform sith tie Adnlinsstrd-
ton, aud tOitA breckenridge and Lone; and
who is, of course, directly Opposed to the
SqHGstsr Sovereignty doctrines ofMr. Doug
las. We say that the Douglas Convention,
by their act in nominating Mr. Fitzpatrick,
proved that they did not care straw for

pretend 10 worship. bnt were devoted mere.

the last twenty years, aud cannot remember
ever having heard it, or anything like il,
enunciated by him until this year Of grace,

positive recollection that every effort 70 i'm.
