IL Prentice, of the Louisville Journal,

Baltimore Convention. Here are some of
them:
Douglas has lost his fighting cock
Pryor crows for Breckenridge.
The Soft Shells and the Hard Shells of
New York are terribly distressed just now,
on account OF the bivalvular condition of
their party They doa't know whether to
follow Gus. ScEell or Her schel.
The fre-eate will starve, we fear, for
want of something 10 consume. Breckin
ridge is the poorest kind of green wood /,
and Douglas is a mere stick.
Douglas is 20 longer a prophet TO the
Democratic party, and the iparly will be
no profit to him.
President Buchanan tries to whitewash
Secretary Toucy, and Secretary Toucy
tries to whitewash President Buchanan
A couple of chimney sweeps might as
well try To make each other clean by rub

The Springfield Republican, the Massa
chusetts paper edited by Mr.. BOwles and
DR.. Holland, recently said:
The Demscr0iie party is so dead here, and
fuerutiinq Tut Republicsnism is so dead /,
that, as a party, we really lack the slim
illus 10 a healthy excitement.
The Democrats have gsrbled this extract
by leaving out the words in italics, and
then they quote that paper as saying:
"Republicanism is 80 dead, that, az a
party. we really lack the stimulus TO a

Vigo County Agricultural Fair

Perhaps there never was finer pros

now throughout the County. The sunshine
and the shower have been in such proper

every circumstance looks favorable TO its
full DEVELOPMENT. The inducements of
fered to the farmer to bring the products Of
his farm to the fair, for exhibition. are am

manufacturer has also a share in these
awards, and every consistent inducement
is offered for fair, that Vigo County will
be proud Of As our readers already know
the fair is to be held on the 25th. Goth, 9th
aud 2Sth days of September, and as some
Of the adjoining Counties are invited to
participate in the exhibition, display of
unusual interest may be expected Now
that there is an pie time TO prepare, we
hope our farmers aud mechanics will
make every proper exertion to produce, at
our next fair, the evidences of their labor
and their skill.

The Case stated.

In December, 1853, in speech at New
Orleans, Judge Douglas from the scene of
his contest in Illinois spoke as follows:
a. in common with the Democracy of
Illinois accept tue decision Of tho Supreme
Court Of the United States, in the bred
Scott case, rs an authoritative exposition
OF the Constitution. Whatever Limitations
the Constitution, as expounded By The
Courts imposes on the authority OF Ter.
ritoral Legislature, We cheerfully recog-
nlze and respect in conformity with that
decision. Slaves are recognized as pro-
perry, and placed on an equal footing
with all other property. Hence. the own
err of slaves-the same a. the owner OF any
other species Of property-has a right to
remove to a Territory and carry his pro.
perty with him }"
In the 18th vol. of Howard's Reports,
page 395, it is stated that the Supreme
Court of the United States decided in the
Cred Scott case as follows:
Every citizen has right to take with
him into the Territory any article OF pro
perty which the Constitution of the Uni
ted States recognizes as property"
&" The Constitution OF the United States
recognizes slaves as property, and pledges
Congress caunOt exercise any more au-
thorIty over property OF that description
than IT may cOnstitutionaliv exercise over
property of any other kind"
{" The act oil Congress therefore prohib-
ting a citizen of the United States taking
with him his slaves when he removes to
the Territory in question 10 reside, Is az
exercise OF authority over private proper
ty which is not warranted by the CoDsti-
tuition.
While 1t remains a Territory. Congress
may legislaic over il within the scope Of
It's constitutional powers in relation to
citizens Of the United States, aud may es.
tabiish a Territorial government, and the
4 rim of this local government must be re
gnialed bv the discretion of Congress; but
with powers not exceeding those which
C"ngrf-- itself by tn. Constitution - au
thorizsd to exercise over citizens OF the
United States Ia respect to their night OF
persons or rights Of property"
Here We have Douglas unqualified ca
dorsement of The bred Scott decision.
We have also an authoritative legal state
ment OF the effect of that decision. W hat
now becomes Of the much AaDBted doc
,rine of squatter sovereignty, that bait
thrown out in the Northern States TO catch
gudgeons.
Logically stated the question stands
thus:
Douglas endorses the bred Scott decis-
ion.
The bred Scott decision affirns the con
stitniiDnai right of any stakeholder TO
take his rlaves into the Territories and to
be protected there by the Federal Govern.
ment Il also afiirms that Congress can
not delegate TO Territorial Government
The power to do that which IL cannot do
It-elf.-Therefore Douglas doctrine of
squat or Sovereignty amounts simply To-
the right to have slavery il tie people
want u, but no right to exclude It, II they
do not want it.-Lafayefie Journal.

WHAT DOUGLAS Has DoNE.-The
Ciermont Courier tells the following:
A stranger called in at the store of
leading Democrat, who, it is said,
was the only Douglas man in the place
during the tendency ofthe Lecompton
bill. As usal, the merchant preached
the subject ofpolitics, when the stran.
ger remarked: Douglas has done
more real good for the country than
any other man since the days of Wash
ingtou.' THAT'S true, my honest
frlend," said the Douglas man, as he
grasped him warmly by the hand. "
But wait moment" said the stranger;
"let me axplain my meaning. Doug
las has succeeded in breaking up and
destroying the Democratic party, and
that is great blessing for our coun-
try" The Douglas man let go of the
hand of the stranger as quick as
thought he had received shock from
a galvanic battery.

wasn't for Mr.. Douglas. but for prin-
ciple-the principle of Squatter Sever
eighty and non-protection--that the
Douglasites persisted in 4 course
which divided the Democratic party.
Oh, no! They are honest, .self-sacri-
fcing men, willing TO die, If need be,
on the altar of principlel Yet, after
they had accomplished the work pro-
jected. they showed how sincere they
were. by nominating for Vice Presi-
dent Mr.. Fitzpatrick, who, within the
last six weeks, voted for the Senate
Caucus resolutions, which repudiated
Squatter Sovereignty, and declared for
protection.-L Louisville Courier.
And in nominating JOHNSON, they
showed most tender and patriotic re-
gard for the Union, by taking up an
avowed Disuuionist for the Vice-Pres-
idency. The Douglasites, verify, are
great sticklers for principle. The ell
oquent GoULDEN of Georgia, who sup
ports DOUGLAS, as he declares, because
of his non Intervention humbug is
specially favorable to the African slave
trade and to slave breeding, has more
consistency than all the Northern
Douglasites put together.-Cin. Gaz-

tionably quarrel. No man ever fails 10
think less of himself after than he did be-
fore one it degrades him 10 his own eyes
and the eyes of others and what is worse
blinds his sensibility to disgrace on the
one hand and increases the power of pas
sionate irritability on the other. The truth
is, the more quietly aud peaceably we all
get on, the better the better for ourselves
the better for our neighbors In nine cases

cheats you. to quit dealing With him if he
is abusive. quit his company if he ISLANDERS
