Urf,lGIIed Promises.

When our republican friends were stumping
Ohio last fall, they promised much but have full
filled nothing. They declared against an ex.
ira session, but in the face of the declaration
they adjourned over until next winter, when
they will hold another session at an expense OF
another 100000. They promised retrench-
mcnt and re orm, but the promise was only
made to be again oxen. Let us see how they
reduced the taxes? In 1859, the State tax for
all purposes was 35'5 cents on the 800. In
1860, the State tax is 39IIa cents on the 800,
although the State library av mas repealed, and
The school ley decreased. In 1859, the aggregate
amount Of taxes levied in Ohio was so, 978, 100.
while in 1860, with the reductions above nam.
ep, the amount levied was 50, 491, 800-making
an increase in one year of $5l3,60O.

Douglas VS.. DOugiaS---The Little
Giant Against Himself

Ifthe Douglas press is able to reconcile Doug
las with Johnson, we would thank it to try its
hand on rceoncling Douglas with Douglas-re
concilng their candidate with himself
In 1853, In speech at Galesburgh, Illinois,
Stephen Arnold Douglas thus declared for Pop
9lar Sovereignty:
"The great fundamental principle of our Gov
crnment is, tha, the people of each State and
Territory shall be perfectly free to decide for
themselves what shall be the nature and char
acter Of their institutions"
In the same year, a few months later, the
champion Of this doctrine had occasion to visit
New Orleans, and behold what change came
o ,er him in this comparatively brief PERIOD
In speech delivered in that city he allowed
himself to say:
"Slaves are regarded as property and placed
on an equal footing with all other property
Hence the owner of slaves, the same as the
owner Of any species otpropcrty, has a right to
remove to any Territory and carry hls property
W wth him"
Ina speech in the Senate last February, Mr.
Douglas, forgetful ofhs Gaesburg Grafton, said
Il do not hold that Squatter Sovereignty is
superior to the Constitution. | hold that no
such thing as sovereign power attaches to a
Territory as Ter itory. hold that Terri
tory possesses whatever power it derives from
the Constitution under the organic act, and nc
more"
A few weeks later, in order to show the
S nth how Popular Sovereignty had operated
to the advantage of Slavery, he said in his speech
| in the Senate:
"Under this doctrine Of non Intervention the
people OF New Mexico have converted tract o
free territory more than five times the size 0
the State OF New York, into slave territory"

Meeting OF tEsc BrrckinridgC and
Lame Club in Cincinnati.

A meeting Of this club was held on Wednes-
chanics Institute in Cincinnati. They adopted
a Constitution for their government, and the
following preamble and resolutions, which were
offered by David Quinn, Esq, were adopted:
WHEREAS, It is the opinion Of this meeting
that the declaration made by one Of the propri-
etors of the Cincinnati Eoq,arer, before the
meeting Of the Charleston Convention, ''that
they" (meaning himself and the rest Of Mr..
Douglas supportnrs) "were going to Charleston
to nominate Douglas or smash the machine -
has been verified in the alternative to wit; by
smashing the machine; ..........
AND WHEREAS, In consequence of said
smash, no candidates were nominated by the
National Democratic onventon-whch failure
to nominate, we hold, forces upon every Dem.
ocrat the separate responsibility of selecting
and supporting such candidates as in his own
judgment, will best conform to his individual
views ofjustice and propriety, and as will if e.
ected, administer the government in the trucst
spirit Of the federal compact; "
AND WHEREAS, The platform of prime Piles
adopted at Baltimore by the seeding or urabo.
itionized wing Of the Democratic party, is ex
pressive of our views on the subject OF Terrific
rial powers and restrictions, and is, we believe,
a just and true exposition -four Federal Con-
stitVtion, and the only grounds on which our
Union can be preserved in tact, and our Re
public transmitted to our posterity; therefore,
Reso1Ued, That we will support said platform
to the utmost of our powers, and that we will
use all honorable means within our control
for the election of J Ohm G. Breckenridge and
Joseph Lane, who are now by the nomination
OF said unabolitIonizel wing Of the Democratic
party before the country as candidates, repre-
sentng the principles Of said platform.
After speeches from Messrs. johnson, Qainn
and Reemelin, the club then adjourned.
Verify the Enquirer proprietors, and the rest
of the Douglas clan are still carrying out their
threat of Smashing the machine," ilthey can
not get their candidate. ...

Tn speech delivered before his constituen S.
and published in the Worcester H'gis aad Tran
script Eli Thayer, of Mass, tells some tales
bout our Ohio politicians which are rich
Speaking of popular sovereignty, he said:
81 never heard one argument, or anything
that looked like an argument, against this. /.
is said that nobody agrees with it. say that
m ioriy Of the RepubI can members of Con-
gress hav. told me that it was good policy and
that they were ready to go for it. x
| was told by the editor of the Ohio State Jour
nal, published at Columbus, that the Republi-
cans would lack more than twenty thousand
votes Of carrying the State of Ohio if they acent
into tbs canpujga on any other policy thin that Of
non-inte,Venion. tell you that
Hon Salmon P Chase spent three days in try
ing to bring up the delegation from Ohio to vote
for this policy; and he told me it suited him
perfectly we'll. tell you that
Hon. Benjamin Wade, of Ohio, said he would
make a speech in favor of these land bills, il
they should come to the Senate"
Such is the statement OF Mr.. Thlyer. No
man will pretend to doubt the truth o. it -
Cooke, Of the Journal, Chase and Wade all con-
fsss to him that they are in favor OF Popular
Sovereignty. And yet, because the Chicago
Convention repudiated it, these men are such
dishonest politicians and political prostitututes
as to villiry doctrine which, at heart, they ap.
prove and sanction as Just and proper.-Statee-
mn. ....
The statement, of Eli Thayer may or
my not be true. But on the suppositon
that they are truthful, what is the lesson they
should teach Democrats? IfChase, Wade, Gid.
dings & Co.. have become converts to the doc
trine Of Squatter Sovereignty, they are acting
with motive, and that motive, be what il
may, is not one of friendship to the Democrat
ic party of the South. They have abandoned
no part Of their hostility to the Slave States
They still preach the 'lrrepressible conflict
and when they show favor to the doctrine o
Squatter Sovereignty, Democrats may rely OF
it that the Abolition leaders have become con
vinced they can accomplish their unjust purpo
ses toward the South as we'll by adopting the
Squatter dodge as by odhering to direct Con
gressional prohibition. Strange, that Chase
Wade u Co.'S. endorsement Of measure lela.
ting to slavery, should be paraded before Dem.
ocrats as proof that it is fair and just and
that it should be adhered to!-NeUark Adv.

Disuniom.

We hear good deal from Douglasites in O.
hiO in denunciation of Southern DisHnionists
whom they assert are Breckenridge men. To
S low where there own allies are on the ques-
tion Of disunivn we copy the following irom
the Atlanta C0ahasraas, one of the two papers
in Georgia viii u support Douglas We o1'
serve it Stated that the Gcateaeracy is edited by
a brother-inlaw of Herschel V. johnson, Who
/ it will be remembered, was beaten, only eight
years ago, as a disunion candidate for Governor
of Georgia. The man who beat him was How
ell Cobb, the present SECRETARY Of the TTeasu-
ry, who is labOring might and main for Breck-
inridge and Lane.
"What viii the South do if Abra-
ham Lincoln IS Elected President
ave answer this iuterogatory by simply sta
! ting that the South will never permit Abraham
Lincoln to be inaugurated President of the u
nited States This isa settled and sealed fact
1t is the determination Of all the parties Of
the South. And let the consequences be what
they may-whether the Potomac is crimsoned
in human gore, and Pennsylvania avenue is pa
we'd ten IA hons in depth with manglcd bodies,
an whether the last vestige Of liberty is swept
! from the American continent the South, the
! loyal South-the Constitutional SOuth-will
never submit to such humiliation and degrada-
tion as the Inauguration Of Abraham Lincoln.
"We in common with a great majority of
/ the Southern people, would most deeply regret
the necessity of such step. We should la
ment and dcplore so terrible misfortune. But
the South has submitted for the last time to
aggression-to insult ,aPd dshonor. The
South has yielded muckseiO the sake of the
Union, for the sake Of peace-for the sake of
harmony-and for the sake of perpetuating
this Republic of equal rights to all citizens and
special privileges to none But iorbearance has
ceased with the South to be virtue!
"The election oil Lincoln is an oUert act itself.
Tor the reason that, if electsd it will be for the
express and avowed purpose Of destroying the
institution Of Slavery His administration
would doubtless, at its inception, SAVIOR of con-
cervatsm. Itwould present the sopoirc charm
of the serpent. But slowly and by degrees
like boa-constrictor, he would entwine his
damnabe heresieS around our institutions, and
when once in his grasp the last spark of vital
! ity would be eXtinguished. Let the South
place her heel upon the head Of this huge
black serpent of the North, and crush him be-
fore he gets his Shiny coil about u.s.

Vermont nmd Maine ELECTIONS.

The States Of Vermont and Maine have just
held their annual elections. The results furnish
but shabby evidences Of the swet pirg enlhusi.
asm for Douglas which his trumpeters have
long claimed for. him throughout the North.
In Vermont, the Republican majority (accor-
ding to telegraph has gone up to 22,00O: In
Maine, where we oughtto have gainedat least
two congressman, the Republicans have swept
everything. The Democratic candidate for Coy
ernor and all the Candidates for Congress-,
fought the canvass on the s9uatter doctrine Of
Judge Douglass-lhe effect OF this was simply
to make converts to the belief that the South
has no rights in the Territories which The
North is bound to respect. Acting on this be-
lief, the people cast their votes for those candi-
dates who, by pointing to their past record,
could furnish pr"Cf of the constancy with which
they had warred against the further spread OF
slavery -MeUark ddU0cate.

The Mistakes OF "a Republic an Or

gan.
"In the State of Ohio persons Of one-half ne
gro blood are allowed to vote. At the time this
privilege was conferred upon them the Demo.
cratic party were in power. and they framed
the Constitution which extended the right Of
suffrage to persons Of coorn' a
We find the above in the Chiclgo Press and
Tribune a violent Republican organ, which in
corporates it in defense which it makes OF ne
gro equality. 1t is all wrong! Itseems to be
impossible for these Republican papers to
state the facts Of any thing relating to politics
correctly. In Ohio persons fhrJ negro blool
are not allowed to Uote Not even the Repabli-
cans claim that they haze such right. BY the
Constitution Of the Stlte orOao it i; provided
that none but white citizens of the United States
shall be allowed to exercise the right Of suf-
frage. The Supreme Court Of the State deci
ded that under this provision person who had
more wtite blo0H in his veins than negro could
vote. The decision was denounced by the
Democracy and the last Democratic Legisla-
ture Of the State passed an act that no one who
should vote who had any African blood in his
veins. The constitutional qualification is how
ever, sufficiently distinct. It was designed TO
exclude all negroes from the blllot-b box. No
stronger language OF excuaion is nSed by any
State in the Union. -a
