OPINION.

One of the speakers of the Republican nsee-
ting last night said that he would rather live
under the British government than under
Democratic rule. We have no doubt of it.
The government of this country has ever since
its formation been under Democratic rule and
the speaker was only declaring the general
principle of the p0rty, that they are in favor of
aristocratic rule, of privileged classes and all
the untold horrors of an oppressed, starved
and INDECENT working class. 'l
The charge that we have always made
against them, that they are opposed to a Dem
oeratic form of government, that they despise
the laboring classes, and want the control of
all affairs of State placed perpetually in the
hands of a privileged few, is thus fully ac-
knowledged by their speaker. Men, consider,
before you aid such a cause.

~ HE- Ia ~
t. A HIGH COMPLIMENT FROM A REPUBLI-
CAN TO Mr.. DouGLAs.-The Boston Travel-
e, a leading Republican paper, speaking of
him, says that in his contest in 1853 "he won
the greatest personal political victory known
in our history" In reviewing his political
career the same rapersays:
Thus he has had eighteen years of Senate
rial life conferred upon him, and six of that
of Representative, besides having had half a
dozen other offices, though he is only forty
seven years. of age. Should he be elected
President, his Congressional career will have
covered exactly: eighteen years, fourteen of
which will belong to his Senatorial history. 1t
is seldom that the life of any man presents so
much of success, in so short a time, as we find
in the twenty-six years that have passed away
since his majority was completed. As a gene
raj thing this success has not been undeserved;
if we look only at the intellectual side of
things, Mr.. Douglas has no intellectual supe-
rior among the statesmen and politicians of
the United States. His speeches and writings
are strong, clear, precise and logical. He has
participated in all the great Congressional de.
bates of the last seventeen years, not to speak
of his enormous labors son the stump" and
in conventions and caucuses. Rarely has it
been his lot to be beaten. He was more than
a match for Mr.. Webster in 1850, when that
illustrious nan endeavored to show that the
Democracy were responsible for the proslave-
RI character of the Government.

that Hon. Andrew johnson of Tennessee, who

Hon. Joseph Gable, editor of the Van

regard to the authorship of the Homestead

CONVENIENT HAS PROVEN A FAILURE
IN AMERIcA"-This is the doctrine of the
Republican party. 1t was boldly proclaimed
IN brooklyn at a mass meeting of their party,
for tie purpose of dedicating a wigwam one
evening last week. "Lord Grey was right"
said the orator, s'when he declared in the
British Parliament that Government had pro-
we'd a failure in America. The sentiment was
received with unbounded applause, and encor-
ed again and again. The orator was Geo. w.
Curtis-the audience were the leaders and the
rank and file of the Black Republican party.
Let no one contend hereafter that this party
Is in favor of our country-of her independ-
ence-her Constitution and her laws. They
would rather subvert' our Government, trample
our institutions in the dust, tear down the
monuments of our greatness and glory, and
make US again dependent on Great Britain.
If Americans can support such a party after
such a proclamation of its tenets and its prin-
oiples, they are indeed unworthy to be free

HEAR WHAT OLD JACKSON sAD-LET
REPUBLICANS APPLY THE TEST TO
THEIR LEADERS AND STUMP ORA
Tnpc

Black Republican orators and presses con.
stantly claiming to be the disciples of old Jack
son, and the opponents of Jacksonian Democ-
racy. Let them read the following words from
the old hero's farewell message, and then apply
the tert which he furnishes: -f
Each State has the unquestionable right to
regulate its own internal concerns according to
Its own pleasure; and while it does not inter
fere with the rights of the people of other
States or the rights of the Union, every State
must be the sole judge of the measures proper
to secure the safety of its citizens and promote
their happiness and all efforts on the part of
the people of otner States to cast odium upon
their institutions, and all measures calculated
to disturb their rights of property, or to put
in jeopardy their peace and internal tranquil
ty, are in direct opposition to the spirit in which
the Union was formed, and must endanger its
safety. Motives of philanthropy may be as
signed, for this unwarrantable interference !:
and such men may persuade themselves for a
moment that they are laboring in the cause of
humanity, and asserting the rights of the hu-
man race, but every one, upon sober reflection,
will see that nothing but mischief can come
from their improper insults upon the feelings
and rights of others. Rest assured, that the
men found busy in this work of discord are
not worthy of your confidence and deserve
your strongest reprobation."
Let the people contrast Republican .denun.
Citations of the South and Southern Institutions.
with the teachings of jackson, and then decide
upon the claim of these "neen uho are found
busy IN the work of discord" to be &C nsidered
as disciples of Jacksonian Democracy.

No. The Louisville Journal has recently
had several able and earnest articles addressed
to the Bell and Everett men northwest of the
Ohio River nrging them to such a course Of
action, in the coming elections, as will be
most effective for the defeat of Lincoln. That
paper says, ;"widely as we differ from Mr..
Douglas in many things, we should greatly re-
joice to see Indiana, Illinois, &c, go for him.
As an incentive to its party friends on this
side of the river to pursue the policy it sug-
gests, and aid the Democracy to defeat Lin
coin, in the Northwest, that paper thus depicts

They know that Mr.. Lincoln was the author
the originator, two years ago, of the alarming
doctrine. of the "irrepressible conflict be-
tween the enemies of slavery and those who
sustain it, the doctrine that we must never
never have peace within our Republic whilst
even one slave exists upon the soil. Thew
know that Mr.. Lincoln repeated in strong Ian
guage the substance of this doctrine scarcely
two months ago, proclaiming that, fierce as
the slavery and anti-slavery conflict may now
be, 1t 81 destined years hence to be fiercer still.
They know that Mr.. Seward, the creator and
master-splrit of the Republican party, who is
even more the exponent of that party than
Henry Clay was of the old Wing party. an
-noDnces this omnibus and fearful doctrine in
every speech Def re the people of the nation.
They know that the Republican Legislature of
Massachusetts, has fully endorsed Charles
Summers speech in the Senate of the United
States, branding slave owners as accursed ont.
laws, from all the charities of our race. and
encouraging seryile insurrection and massacre.
They know that the Republican party of Mas
sachusetts has nominated Andrews for Cover.

Brown was right, and that his death was the
death of a martyr. They know that the Re.

have intelligence of the most gratifying char
acter. The enthusiasm of the party is much
more than ordinary, and great energy and

We are also daily receiving accessions to our

there be no relaxationlin our ranks, if the
spirit of our people be kept up, and the Access
