one attempts to destroy that admitted right it will
be the duty Of Congress to provide the necessary
remedy to secure this right as in the case of fugi-
tive slaves, which the Father of his Country ap-
proved. Here again, may add, Breckenridge agrees
with us, and Douglas opposes.
But it is contc1ded by good friends of Douglas
against whom have not one word of censure, that
the platform adopted at Charleston and amended by
the Wicklifte resolution at Baltimore, for Douglas,
places him on the same ground with ourselves on
the subject OF protecting constitutional rights That
this assumption is an evident mistake will appear
! from few facts about which there can be no con-
| troversy.
First. If it were true that Douglas, on his plat
FORM occupies the same ground with ourselves why
did they not accept our platform rather than force
division on that subject?
Second. Douglas and some of his friends denounce
our platform for protection las before expained as
dsunlon platform, and hence it cannot, in their
estimation, be the same as their own; but it should
be remembered, as dsprovng forever this charge of
disunion that Gov Fitzpatrick, who holds to all of
our doctrine, was good enough to be selected for
Vice President on the ticket with Douglas, but de-
cined to accept This fact completely dsproves the
charge of disunion.
Third. 1t is known as fact that Douglas declared
that if he was selected as a candidate, it would
amount to an endorsement of his opinion on this
territorial question; and after the Charleston Con-
yenton adjourned he asserted in the Senate that his
doctrine on the territorial question and popular SOW
ereisnty had been fully sustained by the platform
adopted at Charleston; and after the Wckliffe
amendment at Baltimore, Douglas in his letter o.
acceptance. declared that it was all in harmony with
the preceding platform So that in the opinion o
Douglas. his own principles are fully endorsed ant
sustained by his platform. 1t has already beer
shown that the views and opinions of Douglas ar,
at war with our best interests and destructive of

Douglas I'm the House.

Washington Correspondence Of Tribune.l
On the election OF Speaker followed the
oath Of the Speaker elect, from the lips Of
Mr. Phelps, the "Father of the House," and
the swearing in Of members by States; it
being noted thut such fre-eaters as Lamar,
McRae, Crawford, Houston, and koitt were
especially respectful in their greetings OF the
Speaker as they advanced to take the consti-
tutional oath, the warm pressure Of the
hand, and the profound bow seeming to say,
"Governor, we hope to have conspicuous
places on your Committees" Dissolve the
Union if we elect a Republican President |
Tho hypocrisy Of the suggestion shone out
in the gesture, the mein, the bending low,
with which the Southern Democracy APP
preached to-day the dispenser OF power and
patronage in the House of Representatives.
One or two little incidents 10 this scene
must not be forgotten. MIR. Douglas was
present TO witness the logged refusal Of a
dozen of the leading Southern members to
support for the Chair his friend McClernand,
and that too in the face Of the most per-
suasive and persistent efforts to bring them
into line. His mortified expression Of coun-
tenance seemed to indicate that in this re-
sstance to his representative man in the
House, he saw foreshadowed his own doom
at Charleston.

Douglass proposition for q law to prevent
the repetition Of such expeditions as that of
John Brown, has been spoken of as project
In fact to revive the obnoxious Sedition law
of Federal times. And il is justly spoken of
as such, for the scope and design of it, as
interpreted by himself, makes it equally
odious, and arms the government with
power to punish political opinions with an
equal promptness and effectiveness with that
celebrated enactment. The following ex-
tract from his speech will substantiate the
truth of that statement:
cit cannot be said that the time has not
vet arrived for such legislation. Ii cannot
be said with truth that the Harper's Ferry
case will not be repeated, or is not in danger
of repetition. Ii is only necessary to inquire
into the causes which produced the Harper's
Ferry outrage, and ascertain whether those
causes are yet in active operation, and then
you can determine whether there is any
ground for apprehension that that invasion
will be repeated. Sir, what were the causes
which produced the Harper's Ferry outrage?
Without stopping to adduce evidence in de-
tail, have no hesitation in expressing my
firm conviction that the Harper's Ferry crime
was the natural, logical, inevitable result of
the doctrines and teachings Of the Republi.
can party, as explained and enforced in their
platform, their partizan presses, their pam
phlets and books, and especially in the
speeches of their leaders in and out of Con-
gress."
ssThen, sir, hold that il is not only nee.
a. 49,
actual case Of invasion shall occur, but te
authorize the judicial department of the gov.
eminent TO suppress all conspiraces and
combinations il the several States with in
tent 10 invade State, or modest or disturb
it's government, its peace, its citizens, it'll
property, or institutions. You must punish
the conspiracy, the combination WITH IsTEs-
to do the act, aud then you will suppress i
in advance
Now what are the specific doctrines OF tn
proposition, thus interpreted? Preeise
these:
That it lie the duty of Government "to in
quire into the causes which produced tn
Harper's Ferry outrage, and ascertain wheth
9. secse calsas &C yst IA aoti,e operation.
That those causes are "the doctrines an
teachings Of the Republican party"
That the Republican party forms "con
bination" Of which such acts are the neces
sary conscquents,-a Combinations whic
involves the "intent TO do the aet,,,--nn
the coordination with the intent" shout
be liable to be proceeded against the same
the act itself.
Ia what age and country do we lire, th,
such doctrines are gravely put forth aud ',
hementiy urged? The partizans Of this ge,
tleman call him pre- eminently an Gamer
smack Of the spirit of Kaisers aud Sultan
more than Of Free America.

Of Mr.. Clagett with reference to redemption

tanned that they were directly in point that

longcd. Caldwell said that Clagetfs bill
did not enact law, but declared the mean
