MIR. BRECKENRIDGE.

1t is pleasant to do justice to an opponent
pleasant, in these days Of truck and decker, to
meet face to face with one who proposes neither
to cheat nor be cheated to sell nor be sold; but
who meets the issue before the people fairly and
squsrely, and is ready to do battle on that ISSUE
This justice and this praise we award to NJ
Breckenridge. Conserving reluctantly to step out
of the course which it is considered digOifed and
proper for Presidential candidate to maintain, he
comes before the people to give.a sincere and uDe
quivocsl explanation of the principles he believes In
and By which he is andmeans to be governed There
is in the statement of his position no shifting and
shutting, no specious pleas made to suit all lat-
tudes no cunningly devised formulas, no wOrdy
propositions to pursuade his hearers that he has
ingenious theory, whereby one party is to be
tickled with words, and the other to enjoy the
thing which tie words seem TO promise; but in a
fair, and frank, and manly temper, he sets forth
precisely the difference between his own party and,
the party opposed to it, and leaves the country
TO Judge between them. Slavery is either good
thing or bad thing; either it ought to go into
the Territories, or it ought to be kept
out of the Territories; Congress either has power
over that question: or it has power over it; the
Constitution either carries and protects Slavery
wherever it goes and has Jurisdiction or it does not
so carry and protect it; and this, the great VITAL
allabsorbng question Of the day. is to be settled on
this basis Mr.. Breckenridge someets it. Slavery,
he believes in as the true relation between the
white and black races; as such ne thinks the Ter
ritores should have the benefit of it, wherever the
two races may meet; shareholders and non-slaye
holders he believes, have precise rights under the
Cor stitution, and the property of EACH whether in
slaves or other chattels, should be protected by
Congresswhereverth citzenmay choose to carry it.
We Iced say how abhOrrent this is to sense of
natural Justice, our belief in divine law, and our
understanding of Constitutional right. But it is
Mr. Brecknrdge's doctrine, and We rejoice to meet
him and his party on 30 fair an issue.
Mr.. Breckenridge repudiates the charge of dis
union which is brought against him. We believe
him honest in this also. With such an opponent
we can appeal safely to the reason of the people,
and forego prejudice; We can trust to the power
of truth, and rest our faith on that Trucking
politicians and knavish schemers are the only OPP
ponents we do not like to encounter, and we re-
ioice to find that the Democratic candidate for
the Presidency is not among the humber.

THE CONFERENCE AT TEPLITZ.

The small-beer politicians of Europe, and especi.
ally of Germany attach much Importance to the re-
cent meeting of the Regent of Prussia and the En-
perOr of Austria atTepitz. Certain arrangements
settled there between the crowned heads aud their
secretaries, are to change the current of events,
iDaugurate a new era, form new diplomatic turning
points and aiaI ces. 1t is in vain that We labor to
discover in the events and circumstances OF that
meeting even the germs of all these great things.
W6fnd in the published accounts of the conferen-
ces only new and ludcrous attempt on the part
of Prussia to cut great diplomatic DASH and a
new evidence Of the simple. miudednes Of Prussian
Statesmen, the Regent, his Premier, and his Secre-
tary Of Foreign Affairs included. Prussia is to join
tanning the status qpO in Turkey and,
though less openly promises her good Offices to allay
the misunderstanding between Austria and Russia
Russia that it to say the Russian nation the Car,
bis Prime Minister, Prince Gortchakof the army,
oil are unluckily intensely bent upon breaking
down the status quo in Turkey. England and Aus
tIia are the antagonists of Russia. Prussia joins
them, and thus shows her unfriendliuess toward
Russia, opposes Russia automatically and then
profeis her mediation between Vienna and st. Pc
tersburg, where of course her Prussian falsetto
voice will find a willing ear. Nobody but Prus-
slams could be- so thoroughly naive.
1t is possible that Francis Joseph, though we
strongly doubt it, may visit Alexander III. in War
saw If so, he will be politely received, all atten.
lions will of course be shown to him. and then
Austria will be politely bowed out. This will prob
ably be the FINAL result of the Tsplitz conference
as regards the Eastern question Napoleons am

TEXAS IN TERROR

The panic in Texas meets with no abatement
She is possessed with terror more fearful than

abject despair claspng their children to their
bOsoms, knowing that speedy death is a mercy
they may not hope for. But there is one state Of
society-one state of suppressed Warwick,

bring with it consequences with which no
other warfare is ever followed When
vengeance for present wrong, and the memory of
the vengeance which has slumbered for centuries,
are awakened in the bosom Of slave, men MAJ

their children about them and cure the day that
they were born. Even if il could be hoped that
slaves in revolt might at frat be merciful they
would be sure to better the instruction giyea ia
the resistance and punishment with which their
fore it is that every community Of shareholders live
in constant, neverending dread, following them
about by day and sitting down by their pillows at
night. Their food is cooked by slaves; their chill
dren are carried in the arms ard rest their
heads upon the bosoms Of slaves; all the Offices
Of domestic service are in the hands Of slaves;
slaves are all about them in every mental capacity,
in the field, the stable, the kitchen, the dining
room, the bedchamber when they wake and when
they sleep, when ILL., when well abroad and at
home-everywhere, always, in every possible rela-
ton, are slaves, who may tonight, acting with
one common purpose, carrying out long cherished
design, under the lead of those among them who
are most intelligent, most cunning, and also most
cruel, wreak their long pent up vengeance on NOR

THE JAPANESE BILLS.

We print this morning such of the items of ex-
pense alleged to have been incurred in the Japan
csc entertainment as we have been able to ascer-
tain, chief among which are the claims of the
Messrs. Leland For the entertainment on board
the Aida, where the japanese were barely two
hours, ~, AGO is charged. Their board bill at the
Metropolitan is set down at $4,000, which is
about 81, 400 day, for the 20 members of the en-
bsssy, or $50 per diem for each individual. The
expenses Of the Committee are modestly set down
at 800. Now, Dir. Leland recently stated that
during the stay Of the strangers at his house he
was " obliged to furnish more than $50 dinners
"dsy to the Aldermen and their friends" In a
subsequent part of the bill we find the price of
"suppers" set down at SO each, exclusive Of wine

No doubt will commend it to those voters whose
first choice for the Chief Magistracy Of the nation
is no longer left them. Declining to introduce any
farther discord in the Presidential contest, they
leave each individual of the party to follow his
next preference, advising Only that they should
avoid the dishonest combinations of politicians
whether made to cheat or be cheated; that they
should keep clear of "middle issues;" remember
that it is futile to ignore the Overshadowing ques-
ton of Slavery that their votes should be so cast
as to insure an election Of the President by the
people, and prevent its going to the House OF Rep
resentatives: and fIaly that all should oppose
venalty, corruption, and faction. We do not

the convictions of those whom they represent and
that their counses viii be followed by giving the
suffrages of the party to ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

Whether the people of Car ada are loyal or not
to the crown of England, the heir to that crown
has proved himself loyal TO his w dignity, and to
common sense. Until he reached Kingston IN
Upper Canada, be has had no reason to doubt
the devotion of the people of the Provinces 70 ale
own person and his hereditary state; bat there un-
happily, he has had to encounter corhict between
the 10y atty due to him, and their attachment to
their own partissn and bitter quarrels. And he has
met the difficulty in way that should add, crnong
bis future subjects respect for his rmne,s to saeir

The bitter feud between the Catholic ard Pro-
testant Irishmen, or OraDgemeu, of Upper Cana
da, which has been smothered in the proyiooe So
well as in ireland, but never e1tinsuished, has
seized the occasion of the Princes visit to break
out with renewed violence. In the public ovation
which was to welcome him to Kingston, the
Orangemen determined to engage not as citizens
but IS Ofangemen. They erected Orange arches,
covered with the emblems aod notices OF their
association, and covered themselves with their
Orange badges and distinctions II was perfectly
natural that the Catholic party should taSe Ofenss
at this partisan display, and should ekposta'
late at a determination which they Gould
only regard as intended as IN insult. This 'ason'
able protest was met with the assertion BY tns
other party that the manner Of their appearance
should not be governed BY the dctaton Of tn''r
opponents. The Prince and his advisers, however.

Pursuing the liberal policy which the Me'sr'.
Leland appear to have adopted in making out
their bills, we submit that in charging only 800 for
" the Aldermen and their friends" who ate " one
" hundred and fifty dinners day, for thirteen
',days," the Messrs. Leland have done themselves
gross Injustice, andwe think that they owe US very
generous acknowledgment for calling their atten-
ton to the oversight.
We are told that at the ball I" 10000 suppers at
I" SO each, price agreed upon before hand" were
eaten and 500 bottles of wine at 50 so a

ball, and that after they were gone, not another
"could be obtained for love nor money!" we find
liberal surplus of 1900 "suppers," or $4,000,
surprising each ticket holder to have taken two
ladies with him, and a very great many took only
one and not a few went alone. Ofthosethat were
