the U. S. Senate on the 23l of FEBRUARY,
1859: "Ihold that no such thing as sou

Remember that when Senator Davis asked
Mr.. Douglas whether if he was President, and
a bill should be presented for his signature,
giving protection to slavery in the Territories,
he would sign it? He refused an answer!
Remember that Mr.. Douglas in a speech
in the U {. Senate on the 23d of February
1859, broadly asserted that slaves, according
to the Dred Scott decision being property
stand on an equal footing with all other prop
erty. There is just as much obligation on the
part of the Territorial legislature to protect
slaves, as every other specie Of property, as
there is to protect horses, cattle, dry goods,
LIQUORS &c. Congressional Globe, 1850,
part 2, page 1858.
Remember that Mr.. Douglas said in his
Memphis speech, "the Almighty has drawn
line on this continent on one side of which
the soil MUST DE CULTIVATED BY SLAVE La
BoR"
There is picture Of the little giant for
our Douglas friends. Now let them in full

"When you see dog following two men,"
SAYS Rev. Ralph Erskine, in one Of his SER
mons, "you know not to which Of them he
belongs while they walk together, but let
them come to a parting road, and one 60 one
way, aud the other another way, then you
know which is the dogs master So, at times
will you and the world go hand in hand.
While man may have the world and relig.
ious profession, too, we cannot tell which is
the mans master, God or the world; but stay
till the man comes to a parting road; God
calls him this way, and the world calls him
that way. Well, If God be master, he follows
religion, and lets the world go; but if the
world be his master, then he follows the world
and the lusts thereof, and lets God, and con.
science, and religion go"

A New Recruit.

FRANK II. TIEMAN, leading citizen
of Wisconsin, chairman Of the Demo
cratic Central Committee of Dane Coun-
ty, has addressed letter to the Madison
Democrat, in which he enumerates The
reasons which induce him to abandon the
Democratic party and join the Republi-
cans. They are in brief as follows:
cannot vote for Mr.. Breckenridge,
because he stands upon the pro slavery
platform.
do not deem il advisable to vote for
Douglas, for the following reasons
lst. He cannot be elected.
Cd. Voting for him only increases the
chance of electing a pro slavery candi-
date
Sd. The resolution adopted al Balti-
more, which is endorsed by Douglas, in
his letter accepting the nomination, sub
stantally comedies, so far as principle is
concerned, all that the secessionists de-
manded. 1t virtually declares that the
Democratic party will not only abide by
the +" Dred Scott Decision" but it will
also favor Congressional legislation to
enforce and carry it into effect-which
means intervention" if it means any
thing.
4th. The ultraists Of the South, by
their action in the National Convention
and elsewhere, have forced upon the
Union men of the North the necessity of
taking one extreme or the other upon the
slavery queston-my choice is the ex
treme for Freedom, rather than the cx-
treme for .Slavery.
intend therefore TO vote for Abraham
Lincoln for President, believing that he
can and will be elected. and thar his elec
ton will teach the pro- slavery men Of
the South a profitable lesson, while at the
same time it will further the best inter
ests Of the whole country.

by causing a secession from the conven.

Breckenridge, the present Vice Presi
dent, by the secessionists and avowed
disunionists of the South.
An administration whose career is
thus marked by every act which leads tc
absolute tyranny. is unworthy the sup
port of freemen.
In the course it pursues this political
campaign, it does not expect the election
of the disunion candidate by the popular
vote. As enough of the Northern States
will certainly go for Lincoln to defea
Douglas, it calculates upon enough o.

CARL ScHURz.-A correspondent OF

ScHuRz has prepared speech of great
ability which he will deliver at St. Louis
about the first of August next.
He says " it is one Of the two speeches
that were written BY him on the ears
while on his way to New York, recently,
to attend meeting of the National Re
publican Executive Committee, Of which
he is a member. We understand from
reliable authority that it will be one OF
the ablest efforts of his life. A few ex.
tracts of il were read to one of the lead
ing statesman of the country, who in.
formed n citizen Of this State that it is
one of the ablest productions ever writ
ten by an American statesman, and he
predicted that it would attract universal
attention throughout the country. Some.
thing of an idea can be formed of the
amount Of labor he performs when it is
known that he wrote seven different po-
litical speeches last week which will re-
qulre two hours time to deliver any one
of them and in the mean time Mr..
ScuuRz has ridden over one thousand
miles on the cars. and addressed the
