The last number of the Evansville Daily
Euqutrsr was printed on Saturday night
1t then finished its seventh volume (year),
and its existence. The Weekly will be con-
tinued. Its editor complains very bitterly
of his party friends for their lack of sub
stantial patronage, and talks pretty plainly
to them.
Mr.. Willard has our sympathy in his
misfortune. We can easily appreciate the
reproachful feelings he experiences when he
reflects on the bad treatment he has receiv-
ed. He has worked faithfully for his party s
interest, and in doing so he ought to have
been sustained. Why he was not, is owing
probably to the fact that the party is dying,
and of course its bodily members cannot
live. After October the whole concern Will
be defunct

Judge Law and Others an Is4s-e.

Judge Law and other so-called Demo-
Gratis are now abusing the Republicans
shamefully for resisting the extension of
Slavery into the Territories of the United
States-for desiring to carry out the policy
of the Fathers of the Republic in this re-
gard. Now we wish to show that Judge
Law and other Democratic" lights, only
eleven years ago, held the same opinions
on this subject now entertained by the Re-
publican party.
Let the Judge face this record and reconcile
it with his present position, as the opponent
of party which thinks as he did in 1859.
B9READ THE RECORD -ksa
Among the fruits of the Democratic State
victory in 1648, obtained by taking very
advanced free soil ground, was legislature
fresh from the people, who were called upon
to elect a United States Senator. There
was great competition amongst prominent
men for this position. 1t was desirable to
get a man sound at heart and sound on the
record on the engrossing question of the
day-the non-extension of slavery. Ac-
cordingly, committee of Democratic mem
bers Of the Senate, consisting of J. S. Buck
les, Delavin Martin, Lot Day, Jas. P. Milli-
kin, VIM. Carver, D. Milligan, and George
Evans, addressed the following interroga-
tories to the several candidates:
Has Congress the constitutional
power to exclude slavery from the Terrific
ries of the United States, while they remain
Territories
2-If such power does exist, are you in
favor of its being now exercised by Con-
gress to exclude slavery from them ?"
Here are the replies of the various SEN
atorial candidates;

SAVAGE. Some of the Breckenridge men
are very bitter over the prospect of having
to vote for State ticket which, if elected
will be claimed as the result of q Douglas
victory TO injure them in November. They
seem to prefer, if no Breckenridge State
ticket be formed, to stay at home on election
day in October and not vote at all. Here is
what one of them, writing from Wayne
county to the Old Line Guard, says:
VIM. II. Schlater the Democratic candid
ate for Secretary of State, resides in this
county, and was once a good Democrat, but
is now one of the most loud mouthed and
most obnoxious worshipers of Douglas in
the County. l, as we'll as many others, will
not vote for him or Oscar B. Hord, until they
learn to quit their abuse. | would vote a
straghtout Breckenridge State Ticket, as
then | could vote my sentiments. If we
have none, l will remain on my farm at
work, and will not go to the polls at the
State election at all.

g LIVE AND LET LIvE.--We would sug-
gest to those of our merchants and others
who, for the purpose of saving two or three
dollars, get their printing and other work
done at Cincinnati, that it is q course caIcu-
lated to give mechanics but little encour-
agement to patronize them-if they expect
to get living in this community, let them
first show disposition to foster their own
people. They ought to remember, too, that
this is game at which others can play.
Dry goods, groceries, &c, can be bought
cheaper from first hands than from them,
and it would be just as fair, just as proper
for mechanics and others TO send abroad for
such articles rs they may need as it is for
merchants to send work out of the city
which properly belongs here Vin. Sun.
The above remarks by the Vincennes Sun
are also adapted to this latitude.

In another place will be found a complete
refutation of the libelous charge of the
correspondent in question, who accuses Mr..
Lincoln of petty misdemeanor of which
he has everssbeen entirely incapable. Be-
cause he is before the people for the Presi-

do it would do worse.

ROBT DALE OWENS OPINION.

"Congress, in my opinion, possesses the
power to legislate on the subject of slavery
in the territories, throughout the term of
their territorial existence as, for example,
TO enact in regard to our Mexican acquisi-
ton a prohibitory proviso, similar to the
ordinance of 1887. The exercise of that
power and the form in which it can most
wisely be exercised, consider questions of
expediency only"
EB. M. CHAMBERLAIN'S OPINION.
"Our newly acquired territories of New
Mexico and California are now free from
the blighting curse of negro slavery. 1t is
admitted on all hands, in the free States,
that they shall be kept SO. Where then
shall we stop short of the necessary means
to accomplish the end There is no ten
able middle ground. II legislation by
Congress is necessary, l, for one, am satisfied
that it is too late to question its right to ex-
ercise power it has already so often and
so uniformly exercised"

or elsewhere, cannot exist without the sane

such law. | believe that Congress can, con-

lows that Congress can, in my Judgment,
constitutionally prevent the introduction Of
slavery into the territories"

These were all eminent men amongst the
Democracy. Whitcomb was Governor at

ticket for Gen. Cass, that year. Judge Law
was Van Buren, Buffalo platform Demo
crat, and prominent one.

tionists to read this record, and apply the

those parties were not abolition parties,
neither is the Republican.
