to withhold it upon the ground of it be-
ing an act which Congress themselves
could not pass.
"But suppose the right of Legislation
for the territory be in its inhabitants,
can they prohibit slavery? Surely not;
and for reasons similar TO those which
show that Congress cannot. The insti-
tuition Of slavery is guaranteed by the
Constitution of the United States, and
it has the same protection thrown
around it, which guards our citizens
against the granting of titles or nobili-
ty, or the establishment of religion;
therefore Congress would be as much
bound to veto an act of territorial leg
i%slation prohibiting it, as an act viola
ting these rights of every citizen of the
Republic. But, suppose, Mr.. President,
you have the right to prohibit slavery
in the territories Of the United States,
what high political consideration re-
quires you to exercise it? All must
see, that it cannot be effected without
producing a popular c~onvulsion that
will probably dissolve this Union.
"The whole history of public feeling
and opinion in the free states, whether
we look at the action of popular assem-
blies or proceedings of their Legisla-
lures, or to the course of their Represen-
t~atives in Congress, mournfully warns
the South that she must stand upon her

Political.


All through the country we find the
Black Republican organs bitterly array
ed against Breckenridge and Lane
The reason must be obvious. They
dread the popularity, no'less than they
hate the principles which these gallant
men profess, and which they know they
will sustain. We find, on the contrary,
many of these same Black Republicans
entirely satisfied with the nomination of
Mr.. Douglas, and many of the journals
which support him openly, Boosting of
his sympathy, and declaring that thou
sands Of those who voted for Fremont
will now vote for Douglas.
M~IssoURI.-So far, says the Montgom-
cry Adrertiser, the signs indicate that the
Southern Democracy will rally almost
unanimously for Breckenridge and Lane
before summer 10 over. The detection
from the Douglas ranks, commencing
with Fitzpatrick, ,le.rn Jminee for Vice
President, are already numerous. Ev-
cry day witnesses accessiOns and GORE
spending assertions from the Douglas
side. The law of atomic affinities is di-
minishing the strength of the Squatter
Sovereignty faction daily in the South,
and augmenting the strength of the OPP
posite faction. The three Judges of the
Supreme Court are said to be earnest
Breckenridge men, and, of course, the
same may be affirmed of the Democratic
Justices of the U. S. Supreme Court.
The Breckenridge men in Illinois have
nominated an electoral ticket and the
following State ticket:
For Governor--Thomas NJ. Hope. For
Lieut.. observation-disclosures Smell. For
Secretary Of State-B. Z. Burk. For
Auditor--Harry II. Smith. For Treas
rer-W. II. Gather.

ocrat,. of Bloomsbury, Pa, says:
'We most cordially give our hearty

Breckenridge, the gallant soldier and

How is that destructive party to be
shorn of its pernicious strength There
is but one method by which this object
can be effected; and that is by denying
and ~disproving the false position on
which it is founded.
We must as a party insist unqualii-
edly that in the institution of negro sla-
very there is nothing whatever which
calls for unfavorable action by Govern
ment; that the right of the white mas
ter to the services of his negro slave, is,
in every moral sense, precisely the
same as his right to any other property.
If this proposition be not true, no
konaGt man oughtto desire the perma-
nency of our Republic; iFlt be true, the
Black Republican doctrine is a treason
able and destructive fallacy.
am in favor of the principles enun-
ciated in the Senate resolutions of 1860,
and in the report of the Committee IN
Resolutions made to our National Con-
ventiOn at Charleston, because they
come up tO this point. They meet the
exigency before us: they fairly and di-
rcctly meet the issue as it is understood
by all honest and sensible men on either
side.
l am in favor of Breckenridge and
Lane, because they stand upon a plat
form distinctly expressing these princi-
pies.
Mr.. Douglas declines practically to
stand up to them. He blinks the main
issue, and seeks to ride into power upon
a dogma which implicitly comedies to
AbolitioniSm the vital element of its po-
litical power, to-wit: that negro slavery
is unjust, or at least has in it some ele-
ment which, on moral grounds, justifies
hostility. :
His friends may deny this construc-
ton: but to my mind it is manifestly
just. The whole practical Importance
of his Popular-Sovereignty doctrine is
in its bearing on the slave question:
No one cares a fig about il except in
this single connections: in all its other
bearings it is an admitted abstraction,
unworthy of a moments attention, and
incapable of attracting it.
Let any man who doubts this read
Mr.. Douglas argument, as published in
Harper's Magazine, and his subsequent
replyto Judge Black in defense of that
article. Slavery is the staple of his
whole argument. The phrases and pos
tulates of the antislavery agitators are
invoked by him at every point in the
discussion; and most literally used to
sustain his views.
Thus, to all practical purposes, Mr..
Douglas presents himself as a semi-Ab-
o%litionist. His platform tends to keep
Abolitionism alive, as a power in the
State, for future mischief. Theplatform
of Breckenridge and Lane assails the
Hydra in front, and aims to slay it out
right.
Whilst | am thus with you in senti-
ment, and to the extent of my humble
powers am ready to aid in your object,
| cannot loose sight of the policy which
requires thorough union of all New
Workers who are opposed to the election
of Lincoln. Concurring with that emil
nent and patriotic citizen of Pennsylva-
MIA, William b. Reed, 81 believe that
there are three candidates for the Pres
dency preferableto the one whom every
Abolitionist Oh anti-slavery agitator in
the land supports"

In fact, by holding the head well up,
which necessarily expands the chest, he
will find he cannot help himself from
swimming, or rather floating; and by
gently thrusting out and drawing in
the hands and feet exactly in imitation
OF the movement of a frog in the water,
he will accomplish more in two or three
days than in as many weeks with the
corks and bladders--that is, he will
have more confidence in himself. and
know more of the power of the water to
sustain him on its surface. A better
knowledge w of this he will have by
Keeping his back to the shore till out in
deep water as far as he can go, then
throwing back his head, expanding his
chest, milking, as it were, a curve with

draw him c~omplacently in without sink

he might, by the gentle action of the
hands and feet, work himself on shore.

have no fears; saving for afew mouth

about SO long as he learns to swim.
