Is THIS " REPUBLICAN" DooTRINEl-
Hon. +. p. Stanton, formerly of Tennes-
see, and more recently Secretary and Ac-
ting Governor Of Kansas, was called TO
Connecticut to aid the black republicans
in the late election there. The character
of his speeches may be inferred from the
following extracts from one of them. If
this is black republican doctrine there,
black rcpubicanism in Connecticut is a
very different thing from what goes by that
name here. Hear this orator of that par
ty in Connecticut -
In 1854, when 1 represented in Con.
grcss the largest district in slaveholding
Tennessee, | voted for the Kansas and
Nebraska Bill and for the repeal of the
compromise measures. believed then !
was right ! believe so now. (Cheers.
| then stated my belief that slavery could
never enter those Territories from their
unftness to be made profitable by slave
labor and the great disadvantage under
which the Shareholder is placed in regard
to emigration.
In voting for tho right Of the people of the
Territories to govern themselves, I belle.
we'd then, and do now, that the people oi
Territory should be allowed to settle all
questions of internal and local policy
themselves. (Chccrs)
Let the principe of POPULAR sovER.

another Slave State will ever come into

The Platforms.

A few days after the Baltimore Conven-
tion adjourn ed, the New York Daily Neps
published the following article on the sub
ject of the Platforms of the two Conven-
tions.
''By reading these resolutions carefully it
will be seen that the only difference of i'm
portancc between them is found in the last
resolution Of the Douglas, and the first
resolution of the Breckenridge Convention.
The resolution of the Douglas Convention
referred to says "that during the existence
Of Territorial Governments the measure of
restriction, whatever it may be, imposed by
the Federal Constitution on the power of
the Territorial Legislature over the subject
of the domestic relations, as the same has
been or shall hereafter be finally determin-
ed by the Supreme Court of the United
States, should be respected by all good cit
izens and enforced with promptness and
fidelity by every branch of the General
Government" Now, as the Constitution
gives no power to Congress to lcgislate on
the subject of slavery, and as Territorial
Legislatures derive all their power from
Congress, the Supreme Court must hold
that Territorial Legislatures cannot legis-
lac on the subject of slavery. Slavehold.
ers in Territories will, therefore, be pro-
tected in the possession of their slave
property by Congress, and by Territorial
Legislatures, as it was resolved to be their
duty by the second explanatory resolutions
of both Conventions.
The resolution of the Breekinridge Con.
vention, referred to says that "the Govern
ment of Territory organized by an act
of Congress is provisional and temporary,
and during its existence all citizens of the
United States have an equal right to settle
with their property in the Territories, with.
out their rights, either of person or prop.
erty, being destroyed or Injured by Con.
gressonul or Territorial legislation That
this resolution is true, we think no Demo.
crat, at least, can doubt. 1t is the doctrine
we have ever maintained, and the very
doctrine, too, which the Supreme Court has
already held in the Dred Scott decision,
and which it must, We think, hereafter
maintain"
Now would any man suppose that the
Dusly News was going for Douglas; and
against principle that the paper acknowl-
edged to be true, and in accordance with
the decision of the Supreme Court! Yet so
it is, and conscientious men are apt to in
inquire the motive. In its comments on
bo'h resolutions it clearly and positively
takes the Democratic side, and condemns
the Douglas exposition of the doctrine
Well did Dickinson say that New York
Politicians were a set of political gamblers.
That is one case in point

Vandalism.
The AMERICAN FLAG FIRED BY
WIDE AWAKE TORCH

The AMERICAN FLAG FIRED BY A
WIDE AWAKE ToRcH
While the Republican party all over the
country has exhibited so little respect for
the American flag that they were induced
to blot out in sc the stars representing
the Southern States, we little conceived
that one among them could be found so
utterly debased as to set fire To Me .An,eri>
c'n jug! And yet this act of Vandalism
was left for Wilkes Barre Wide Awake
to consummate! On Friday evening last
the demo Gratis held meeting on the
Court House Square which was addressed
by Col. j. G.. Freeze, of Columbia county
Stanley Woodward and Il. b. Chase
Esqs., Of Wilkes-Barre. The meeting
was well attended, and all its doings where
characterized by good order. A flag
waved from the speaker stand, which was
allowed to remain there when the meeting
adjourned. The Wilkes Barre Wide
Awake Club, which had paraded the
streets early in the evening, went to Scran,
ton, and returned about one or two
o'clock in the morning. As these wor,
thies approached the Square, one of them
was seen to walk up to the stand where
the flag was nailed, and deliberately ap,
plying his torch to. it, burned it from the
pole. Such an act furnishes its own com
mantary. We will only add the inquiy,
how can any National Union,loving man
vote with party whose teachings tend to
the destruction of our countrys aag,-

tCoMMUNICATED.l
To PalemOh John.

In your paper of to day,you say. "We
dcspise lying and Misrepresentation in pol.
i,ics as much as in any other matter, and,
the men who voluntarily engage in this
kind of warfare are too Htns for our no
tice."
Your friends say that the above is an
allusion to me, and is intended for your
reply to my remarks in political meeting
the evening before the election, when l read
from your paper, where you speak SO con-
tcmptuously Of Irishmen, chasing them
with paupers.
Now sir, do condrsccnd 10 men of
Now estate y especially as only attemp.
ted to argue point suggested in your pa
per. Why, it is easy to dcspiso and
the old adage says, that |" contemptis is the
fruit Of shallow soil" Then, who are
you that should take on such naughty
airs the printer of a disreputable, poor,
ly supported, country paper, that cannot
long survive your accumulating odium
being constrained even now to open a
book store in addition, THAT will hence
forth be equally ill sustained. Why sir,
if it were not your misfortune to see your
self entirely different from what others see
you, you would lot think any person
could be too lite for your notice.
After all, is not the above n mere dodge
to evade arguing the point raised; which
was that your course, and what you say in
your paper, chasing Irishmen with pau
pers, show that you regard negro as bet
ter than foreigner Come, face the
music if you dare; and not thus back
down, while pronouncing vain pancjy-
ric upon yourself, saying that you de-
spise lying in politics. You dcspiso lying
in politics What else is your paper re-
markable for when did you ever put
two sentences of truth together Who
but yourself ever had the cffrontery to
say that you publish vcracious sheet !,
You, who SO lately published that Mr..
Chase used profane language in a speech
in the Court Ho use, and put sentiments and
words into his mouth that he never utter
ed. You, who say that Irishmen and
paupcrs were at the ropes to raise the pole
at the furnace, and that an adjournment
was had to a certain lager beer saloon;
when no paupcrs were near the ropes, and
no such adjournment was had! You who
published what you did about the Star of
the Morth publishing the Dutchmans skull
story! You, might sum up, who have
perverted the business of journalist,
into that of circulating falshood, have the
cifroutery to boast that you desplse lying!
SO does Satan the father of lies, as much.
But permit ME to inform you sir, that
the manner in which you have alluded to
me, if the people understand it as your
friends say, is plain case of libel. Also
the manner in which you allude to the
Register and Recorder in your sheet of the
4th inst, and if my friend, desire it l will
put you through.

The Election of President in the
House.

The New York Jownal Of Commerce
surveys the field for the Presidential con-
test, and considers its probable results, as
follows:
Snow suppose that no candidate should
have a majority of all the Electoral votes,
(Which is very likely to be the case under
existing circumstances,) and the choice
should devolve upon the House of Repre-.
sentatives, how would the case stand then !!
Not any better for Douglas than before
Indeed it is not certain that he would be
one of the three highest candidates and
in such a case his name could not even
come before the House. But suppose he
got into the House as one of the three
highest candidates how would the House
vote! Each S ate, it must be remembered,
would then vote as a INIT, and small
State would count as much as large one.
As the Members of Congress are already
elected upon whom the choice of President
would devolve in the case supposed, and
as the politics of the Members are gcner-
ally known, the result may be stated as to
most of the States, with entire confidence.
We speak of the first balloting, before any
coalition or bargaining should be resortcd
To II Would he ahout as followc

to. 1t would be about as follows
BnckiHridat

AS we said before, there can be but
three candidates voted for by the House,
and these will unqucstionally be Breckin-
ridge, Lincoln, and either Douglas or Bell
4 majority, I7) of all the States is neces-
sary to a choice. The Republicans lack
two of the necessary number, and can get
no more. All the four tied States and also
Tennessee will be given to Breckenridge
in case it should become necessary to
prevent the election of Lincoln. This
would make up the number necessary to
elect him lBreckinridge) without inclu.
ding Illinois. So it appears that Doug
las chance in the House, as compared
with Breekinridgc, is no better than in
the Electoral College.
Should neither the Electoral Colleges
nor the House of Representatives be able
to elect President, and should no Vice
President be chosen by the Electoral
Colleges, then from the two candidates
receiving the highest number of Electoral
votes for Vice President, say Hamlin and
Lane, the Senate, which is Democratic,
must elect one, and that one, being thus
elected Vice President, would become the
acting President of the United States,
. as in case of the death, or other consti-
Lutional disability of the President" Of
course, Lane would be the man.
