JUDGE DOUGLAS IN VIRGINIA.
His speech AT Norfolk.

Judge Douglas arrived ut Norfolk on
the 18th instant His reception was very
enthusiastic. In the evening, bonires
were lighted, bands played, and m i'm
mcnse crowd assembled in the Court
House yard. at which place they were nd
dressed by Judge Douglas. We extract
the substance OF his speech from the New
York Herad:
Judge Douglas soon appeared there al,
SO and taking his stand on the topmost
step of the stone flight leading to the en-
trance of the building, he proceeded at
once to address the assemblage, computed
at six thousand people, lie spoke for
nearly two hours, and made one of the
most forcible OF his popular sovereignty
speeches.
In the middle of his address slip of
paper was handed to him. 1t was cut
from the Norfolk Daily Argus, and con
tanned two polite questions for Judge
Douglas
Having ascertained the'questons thus
propounded, he said thereon, | am not in
the habit of answering questions pro
pounded to me il the course of an addres,
but on this occasion ! will comply with
the request and respond very frankly and
unequivocally to these two Questions.
The first question is if Abraham Lin
coin DO elected President of the Unitet
States, will tho Southern States be juSti
fled in seeding from the Union.
To this | emphatically answer no.
(Great applause,) The election OF maj
to the Presidency by the American peopl,
in conformity with the constitution of tn,
United States. would not justsiy any at
tempt at disSolving this glorious conled
eracy. (Applause,) Now will reaC
to you the next question, and then answu
/ It.
Question il they, the Southern State
Socede from the Union upon tho inaugra
tion of Abraham Lincoln before ho com
mts an ovelt act against their constitu
tional rights, will you advise or vindcat,
resistance by force to their secession?
VoicEs--"No, mol" "Bell men say nj

Mn. DoUGLAs,--I answer emphatically
that il is the duty of tha President of tn,

HOW the President and vice
President are Elected.

In view of the interest attached to the
ensuing Presidential election, and in or
der to post our readers fully upon the
subject. we insert the following summa-
ry of the constitutional requirements and
the acts of Congress upon the election of
President and Vice President of the Unit
ed States:
!. The electors are chosen by the votes
of the people on the first Tuesday after
the first Monday in November.
2. Electors meet on the first Wednes-
day in December,an cast their votes.--
They then sign three certifcates--send
the messenger with one copy to the Pres
dent of the Senate at Washington before
the first Wednesday in January; another
by mail to the same person, and the third
deliver to the United States District
Judge, where electors meet
4. The Governors give notice to elect
ors Of their election before the first We'd
ncsday in December.
8 On the second Wednesday in Feb
ruary, Congress shall be in session and
open the returns. The President of the
Senate shall, in the presence of the
House of Representatives, open the GER
tifcate OF returns and count the votes.--
The person having the greatest number
Of votes for President shall be the Presi-
dent, if such number be majority of
the whole number Of electors appointed.
And if no person having such majority
then from the persons having the highest
number not exceeding three, Oh the list
Of those voted foras President, the House
of Representatives shall choose immedi-
ately, by ballot, the President; but in
choosing the President the votes shall be
taken by States, the representation from
each State having one vote; quorum
for this purpose shall consist of mem.
ber or members from o-thirds of the
States. and a majority of all the States
shall he necessary to choice.
6. If the choice devolve upon the
House of Representatives, and they fail to
make a choice before the 4th of March
next following, the Vice President is to
act as President.
7. The person having the greatest
number of votes as Vice President shall
be the Vice President, if such number be
a majority of the whole number of elect
ors appointed, and if no person have a
majority, then from the two highest num-
bers on the list the Senate shall choose
Vice President. A quorum for the pur-
pose shall consist of two-thirds of the
whole number of Senators, and ma
jority Of the whole number shall be nee
essary to a choice.
8, But no person constitutionally in
eligible to the Office of President shall be
eligible to that of Vice President of the
United States.
8. There is no constitutional provision
forsthe case where there is neither Presi-
dent or Vice President elected or chosen
in the manner directed by the Constitu-
ton. The act of Congress of 1892 pro-
vidcs that, under such circumstances there
shall be a new election.

white folks does YOU see me?"-R. RIDLEY.
During one OF the hottest days OF the
past week, we noticed white man OF
some notoriety in these paris, walking
arm in arm with one of the blackest mig
gers we have seen this many day, per-
forming the amiabe duty of shielding his
delicate FEATURES from the scorching rays
of the sun by holding over him an nm
5rclla. What a disgusting sight. But
perhaps in these times when we hear SC
much about the equality Of the races il
is highly improper to say so; and we may
bc acting with an eye to the interesting
twain as appearing eminently rratchless
merely, and not for the purpose of deny
ing colored man the right to pick his
company on warm day.-lo~a Stat
Gazette.

gy, our untiliug zeal They have not
agreed at all times, (and | am glad they
have not) in every point of detail con
nected with the question of slavery in the
Territories; and it has been my fortune in
public life to differ from each Of them,
and that upon several occasions. What
then? They agree, and agree with them
in all that is noW important for the peace
and welfare of our common country -
They are both in favor of exiling the ques-
tion of slavery in the Territories from the
Halls of Congress--of leaving it to the
decision of the people in each Territory,
subject restrictions of popular authority,
and no other as the Constitution Of the
United States has prescribed; those re-
strictions to be indicated from time to
time, as occasion may require by the
highest judicial tribunal in the land, and
thenceforth to be accepted as obligatory,
eilectual, and complete.
What more ought either the South OF
the North to ask or to concedc?
1t seems to me that a sincere Demo
crat can have little hesitation as to his du-
ty in the present circumstances. The
nominees of his party, Douglas and John
son, are gentlemen of distinguished abili-
ties OF undoubted patriotism, of great ex-
perience in public affairs; and they stand
to-day upon the sole basis of Union, equal
ity and peace, between the slave holding
and the non-slave holding States.
These, gentlemen, are my opinions and
sentiments, expressed with candor, but,
as hope, with due courtesy toward those
who were and are brethren, and have late
ly chosen to become our political oppon-
ents. Very respectfully
Your obedient servant,
G.. e. PUGH.

Bare not Meet the Issue.

The Portland Argus says the Republi-
cans dare not meet the issue rendered them
by the Democracy. Notwithstanding the
frequent calls made upon them by the De-
mocracy, they dodge the question. In
stead of strengthening their course, this
silence upon the great issue of the day is
doing incalculable injury. In proof of
this the A,yus publishes the following
extract of communication from prom
inent Republicans:
81 have been Republican ever since
the Republican party was organized--nev-
er Democrat--and yet at the next elec-
tion shall vote for Douglas and pupu-
lar sovereignty, unless his frank and can
did and the most convincing speech ever
listened to, is answered by our Republi-
can leaders, and better way shown for
getting rid OF this now disgusting and dan
gerous sectional agitation. Mr.. Douglas
has given the voters of Maine his views
with fearless frankness that | admire,
and he has placed tho subject in such
true patriotic light that he will get my
vote, unless there is some tallacy in his
argument which am not able to discov-
er, and which, if it exists, it is the impera-
tive duty of Republican statesmen to ex-
| pose.
Il think there are thousands, in this
State who are in the same condition as
myself We want to see an end to this
agitation. Will you call upon our Re-
publican leaders to show their hands, tell
us what they mean, what policy they in
| ,,,,ennD npn't 1at tbap, off wifi
dodge, but make them come to the
scratch or else drive them into a corner.
If they do as they have been doing--talk
abont everything but the real question
they must take the consequences. Thou
sands will go for Douglas and popular
sovereignty. Mark my words"
1t would seem from the above (adds
the AryaS) that the writer has some hope
that the defenders of the Republican pol
icy will come to the rescue, and there
fore wishes to drive them to it. He is
mistaken, they will do no such thing, and
the sooner he declares himself unqualified
! ly-for Douglas the better. The Slavery
question is certain to be adjusted, on the
policy of non-interference by Congress
with 1t, and the sooner such as this wrl-
ter Join our party to carry it out, the soon
er it will be settled and the agitation be-
come an abSolete idea. 1t is as sure to be
settled in this way, as it is certain that
the bank and Independent treasury ques-
ton were settled in accordance with tn,
Democratic policy in reference to them.

HeLLuwAY's PILLS AND OINTMENT.-The onward march of truth.-Why is it 1.-The great doctrine announced some fifty years back by Dr. Hol oway that the stomach, the liver and the blood are the founts of disease, is now universally admitted his greatest opponents having become his staunchest supporters. The reason is obvious. Millions who were afflicted with Dyspepsia, Liver com plaints, Biliousness. Sick Headache. Debility and Physical prostration. have been radically cured by a thorough course of his famous Pills. while others have been healed ofScurvy, Old Sores, Bad Legs, Scrofulous humors. Glandular Swellings Tumors, Asthma, Bronchitis. &c.. by his Ointment and Pills when all other means had failed Such is the progress of truth and the triumph of reason.
