ST. Louis, Sept. &c.
The Douglas and Breckenridge factions
held meetings last night. During the speech
of Judge Halliburton, at the Breckenridge
gathering, an attempt was made by the Doug
las men to break up the meeting. During
the melee two Brecknridgers were stabbed,
but not seriously. The Bulletin calls upon
members OF It's party to be prepared in flu
ture To fight, shoot or arrest In the malnten-
ance OF their privileges.
A murder wac committed on the Fair
ground yesterday. Probably both parties
were in liquor. Daniel Hazard has peen ar

Capitalists owns INC SOIL and the
lah0rcrs.

Some persons seem TO be shocked almost
to incredibly by the sentiment of III. V. John
son, candidate for Vice. President on the
Douglas ticket, to the effect that capital
should own labor. Such persons certainly
are little familiar with the idea or policy of
the shareholders. Such is their system,
their faith and their PRIDE, and they are &C
customed to boast OF il and to sneer at free
society.
A very recent instance of the expression
OF the same sentiment as that by Mr.. John
son, occurs in the letter of @ score or two
sou'herners, to Lord Lyons, pressing an in.
vltation on the Prince of Wales to visit the
South. We oonfne ourselves to this brief
extract:
"That broad and fertile agricultural re-
gion where we reside will present 10 the
Prince an extended picture of wealth, pros.
perity aud happiness, such as be has not oh.

II, Is not to be seen outside Of the Southern
States of the Union. The plantations of the
south, with their peculiar system OF labor, and
their Astounding wealth, may we'll be look ed
upon by the future overeign Of the British em
pre- with deep interest. The cotton fields Of
ahat fertile and extensive region supply the
material from which much Of the wealth and
power of the British Empire is derived, and
We are confident that, nowhere in the Re.
pubhc does there exist higher apprecia ton
OF that great nation than in the plantation
States. We regard without jealousy the
power and prosperity of a kindred people
with whom IL is our wish at all times TO live
on friendly terms'
They boast that the siaveholding States
are the only region where gentlemen
own the soil and the Iaborers who cultivate
it," and the Northern Democracy are SO
charmed with that happy condition of things
that they seek TO extend ii over the Terrific.

can't stand it to see those territories occu.

Dous,as,sm In missouri.


The leaders Of the Douglas party IN Mis-
souri,, including CLAIBORNE r. sAcksons Who
was elected on the Democratic ticket Gov
ernor oil the State q she recent election, do
not seem to hold tho Same doctrines thas the
Douglas leaders pronulgase IN Iowa.
The Democrats 6tats Convention, which
nominated the candidates elected IN August,
adopted tho following q cbs Of the Rssolu-
rsona of shsi1 6tats Platform, and il il mon
that plstiorn thsy ashisvsd Douglas vic-
tory, asd % which they still adhere:
Resolved, That the Democratic party Of
Missouri hold these cardinal principles on the
subject on slavery IN the Territories: lst--
That Congress has no power to abolish slav-
eFy In the Territories. 2d-That the Terri
tosial Lseislalure has no power to abolish
slavery ID any Territory, nor TO prohibit the
introduction Oh slaves therein, nor any pow
d 10 exclude slavery therefrom BY nnfriendly
LEGISLATION, nor any power to destroy or i'm
pair the right Of property in slaves by any
lsgislasion whatever.
That platform 10 evidently intended to
square with the views of the Southern wing
OF the Douglas party, which is represented
by III. v. johnson, candidate for Vice-Presi-
dent, who 10 openly hostile to the doctrine of
Squatter Sovereignty. johnson and oil
Southern Douglastes hold that slavery ex-
lists in the territories by force of the Consti-
tuition OF the United States, and that tho
doctrine of non. Intervention prevents either
Congress or the Territorial Legislature
from Intervening in any way to disturb it.

Several respectable citizens of Green
county, Illinois, testify to the fact that
Douglas abused Henry Clay in his speech at
Carroiton, and repeated the usual terms
OF evaporation against him which were com
mon with Democratic stumpers and editors
Of that day. Hear the witnesses:
CARRoLTos, ILL.,, Sept. 20, 1860.
The undersigned hereby certify that we
were present at O joint discussion between
Stephen A. Douglas and ID. nj. Woodson,
opposing candidates for Congress, at Carol
ton, 10 1874, and that Mr.. Douglas, refer
ring to Henry Clsy's action and position up
on the Oregon Boundary question, was un :
sparing in bis abuse and denunciation of
Clay, using substantially the following Ian
guage: denounced him in the Congress
Of the Unit d States as Traitor, and /
nor denounce him as an old BLAcK-HEARrED
TRAITOR" lie also assaled him as being
corrupt enough 10 be bribed tgifh British
Gold.
Although the above statements have been
the subject OF frequent conversation among
the old citizens of Carrolton, we have here.
tofore refrained from coming before the
public (though frequently solicited), and on
ly do so now because truth seems TO demand
it, rs the statement has been branded as a
falsehood by some of the public prints.

The advocates of fusion have opened out
louder than ever on the boo-hoo game of a
dissolution Of the Union, in case Of the cleo
ton OF Lincoln.
Who is to undertake this job, and how it
Is to be accomplished, we are not informed.
Mr.. Douglas said in public speech, that be
would back up Mr.. Lincoln, should no be
elected President, and aid, by all the infu-
ence of bis position, In hanging every traitor
who attempted secession, "higher than Ha-
man." The Douglasite will OF course stand
by their leader. The Breckinridgers repel,
with indignan, scorn, the charge that they
are 10 favor of disunion in any event. The
Union Is tho "one idea" OF the Belleveretts.
And the Lincoln men will be too much tickl-
cd with their success and the fruits thereof
to entertain a thought OF disunion.
Who, then, will dissolve the Union +? Let
the boo-hoos define, or dry up their tears.

r1F The Breckenridge paper at st. Jo-
seph expressed itself in favor of extending
every hospitable attention to MIR. Seward
during his visit, and exhorted oil parties to
treat him as a gentleman OF his high posi-
ton and distinguished reputation merited.
To this the Douglas paper responds on
the behalf of its party, that they will neither
treat with welcome, honor or respect the au-
thor of the "irrepressible conflict"
That is just the difference between gen
tleman and 40 upstart. The Breoklnridgers
having the sentiments of gentlemen in the
exercise Of their own self-respect, propose
to treat political opponent with generous
politeness the Douglasites, not aspiring to
anything better than the bully and the
biackguard, are impelled to treat with in
dignity a political opponent whom they
don't like.
