Why HEECT LINCQLn4


When the Democracy took new lease Ct
power, in 1856, there was large surplus
't.utnty:four millions Of dol1ars-in the National
Treaeury. which surplus has been spent among
Democratic favorites, andthe country has been
run in debt to tue tune Ct si1ty ead millions:
which money it owes to-asyy, and which you.
farmers. mechanics and laporeis, will Re
obliged to ray. There is an annual deficit in
receipts, and to meet the interest on the
debt which the Democratic party has con-
tracted, new Treasury notes arc issued from
time to time, and they in turn are funded,
forming the basis Of new loans, new taxes, new
impositions upon the laboring classea. The
Baltimore Patriot shows where this money has
gone:
The enormous amounts paid out for mule con-
tracts. aud transportation contracts. and useless
mail contracts, to political dependents, tho
vast sums lost to the Treasury By sales to favor
tics, as in the sales OF fnrts and purchases Of
new sites.-she beauties Of the Wendell printing
contracte-,he expense Of engineering Lecomp-
filling up Navy Yards with idlers, to carry Cor
gressionai districts in New York and penusyl-
vauia; the embezz'cments Of pubic Officers, and
tho many little ways through Lire Oak jobs, and
coal Jobs, and several Other little jobs, revealed
under the Coyode Committee, show how this
enormous amount las becn saddled On the
country.
The election Of LlSCoLS-an honest man
is necessary to put stop to this criminal
waste and extravaganza, ard to briDg the
ilnances Of the country back to an honest ba-
sis. If l,c had no conservative record on the
Slavery question. if he were not distinguished
for lis sound and s.atcsmaulike views upon
matters Of national concern, his election would
b. demanded simply in view Of tho confusion
and ruin into Which the finances Of the gov
ernment have fallen. Ho will restore them.
Without favo1ites to reward, without lying
under the necessity Ct buying Congressman to
carry out pro.slaycry measures Or Of meddling
in every local election to sustsln his Admin
istratiop, bis honesty could be directed 10 sav'
ing the nation from the effectsof that prcdigacy
Which tue Democracy hare insuslrated.

A letter appears in the Washington Constnu-
ton Of , csterday, from Senator Clay to gen
1leman in Alabama, expressing his views ap-
proringly on the coursc Of the Alabama Sc
ceders, and commenting upon the policy Of the
Republicans, and the views Of Mr. Douglas. Mr..
Clay says:-
Squstter or territorial sovereignty differs not
SO much in kind as in degree. from Black Re-
publicanism. The Inter comedies that Congress
may confer on Territorial Legislature the
power to exclude Stare property, but also a.
herts the power and duty Of Congressional i1-
terposition to exclude it. Whilst both are fatal
TO US in practice, the doctrine Of the Black Re-
publicans has certainly tha advantage in con-
sstency Of logic and openness of purpose. Mr..
Lincoln, the Chicago nominee for President, and
his supporters, nlAictain that the extension Of
slavery into the Territories is 'utrary to the
principles Of tue Federal Constitution and the
purpose Of its frauers; and, therefore, that we
bare no riSht to carry and hold Slaves in them,
and that Congress has the power, and is bound
~ the Constitution, to prohibit the use and en-.
joyment Of such property in them; or that it
may conlc1 that power and 3Djoin that duty on
Territorial Legislature. II they e1pound the
Constitution. and explain the design Of its fra
1ncrs CORRECTLY, the South cannot conplsin Of
the exclusion Of slave property from the Terri
tory BY Congress- or q Territorial Legislature.
Judge Douglas aud his followers deny that the
Constitution iorbids our carrying or holding
sfases in The Territories, or that such was the
purpose Of its trainers, or that it is the duty Of
Congress to prevent our doing 50, yet assert
that tho mere creature Of Congress, a Terrific
rial Legislature, *can, by lawful means, ex-
clu1e slavery IRON their limits prior to the for
maliou Of the State Constitution :" and mn
matter what the decision o; the Supreme Court
may be that abssract question, still The right
Of the people to make it 4 slave Territory or
