Herscnea v. Jehnssn,s Kecera.

The Josrna! pleads the stotGts Of Hmita-
fions ia behalf OF its candidate for Vice Pres
ident, who, it claims, uttered certain senti-
ments which we quoted inconsistent with
Douelasism in ls4S, but has since been con-
verted to the true faith. Here is the Jour
nars plea:
"The Gate forgot, however, to tell it's
readers that this language was uttered 10
l648, when Mr.. johnson, in common with
Hon. A. I'll. Stephens and many other prom
inent Democrats OF the South held to the
doctrine which it enunciates, but who, BY the
Compromise Of 1850, and by subsequent ac-
tion, pledged themselves to the doctrine OF
non-intervention, and who, like honorable
and honest men, are for redesming the pledge
10 the last letter."
Well, then, we'Il try the Journal again,
and see what plea ii has to fill for ito distin-
guished client. 10 the Georgia State Con-
vention, held after the National Democratic
Convention at Charleston, and before that at
Baltimore, and not to exceed three months
ago, Mr.. Herschel v. johnson, ~ chairman
OF q committee for the purpose, made rc-
port Of certain resolutions, of which the fol-
lowing was one:
ssThat the citizens OF the United States
have On equal right to settle with their prop
erty, of any kind, in the organised Terrific
ries of the United States, and that under the
decision of the Supreme Court 10 the case Of
bred Scott, which we recognise al tho cor
rect exposition of the Constitution in this
particular, slave property stands upon the
same footing As ALL OTHER DKscRlPrfoNs Oh
PRoPKKTY, and that neither the General Gov
eminent, NOR ANY TERRITORIAL GOV
EMINENT, can destroy or impair the right
to slave property in the common Territories.
any more than the right TO any other descrip.
tion OF property; that property Of ell kinds
slaves ~ well as any other species OF prop
erty, In the territories, Glands upon the saM'
equal and broad Constitutional basis, ant
subject to like principles Of recognition ant

say the weapons sre not in accordance
