Why Don't Breckenridge Answer.

Judge Douglas in his Baltimore .peech, says:
81 believe there is no evil in this country fol
which the Constitution and laws will not pro-
vide a remedy, much less is there any for which
secession is proper remedy. At Norfolk, when
the Breckenridge eector put these questions to
me, indicating that he and his party intended to
dissolve the Union if Lincoln was elected, an
swered them frankly, and after doing so, said to
him that he was bound, as man OF honor, to
PROFOUND the same questions to his candidate,
and let Mr.. Breckenridge answer them Gap
plause.) The answer came to me from the
crowd, st shall be DONE"
1.-THE Louisville Democrat, in Kentucky, pa
per friendly to me, copied those questions and
my answer and called Major Breckenridge to
respond to them in his speech at Lexington yes
terday. In that speech, according to the report
whicE | saw tonight, Mr.. Breckenridge refers
to my speech in New England and also in the
South, showing that he had seen my Virginia
speeches-and the questions and answers were
in tie first speech | made in that S.ate-but
looked through his speech in vain to fad his
answers to those questions.
ask YOU what does it mean2 A Breckin-
ridge elector catechises me whether will favor
disunion in certain event which Breckenridge
and his friends will be responsible for produc-
ing, if it happens and when Breckenridge is call
ed upon to answer the same question, ne cannon
answer it. Other questions, trivial questions,
imaginary charges, which no man ever dreamed
he was guilty OF, were specified and answered,
but this great question, involving the fate of this
Union, involvlng the fate of a conspiracy to
break it up, when brought to his notice is not
answered.
81 tell you, my fellow citizens, believe this
Union is now in danger. In my opinion, there is
mature plan throughout the Southern States
to break up the Union. believe the election
of Black Republican is to be the signal for
that attempt, and that the leaders OF the scheme
desire the election of Lincoln SO as to have an
excuse for disunion. / do not believe that every
Breckenridge man is a disuuionist, but do be-
lieve every disunionist in America is Breckin-
ridge man, loud cheers] and hence desire Ma
ior Breckenridge to answer specifically on this
point, whether or not he will enforce the laws
OF the land in the event of an attempt to secede or
break up this Union? You have right to have
an answer from him to that question"

Recorder, hitherto non-committa, in its issues
following the Governors speech hoisted the
Douglas flag, and the Douglasites so contempt
uously derided by the Breckinridgers as mere
handful, organized Club, which has fifty Off
