The Breckinridge Convention.

COLUMBUS, August7.-The Breck.
inridge Convention which assem-.
bled here to-day, was much more
formidable than even men OF that
party had anticipated themselves
when the call was issued. The
mer that have been distinguished as
the Democratic body.guard in the
state for years are here, and one OF
them told me this morning that the
taces reminded him OF the glorious
days OF jackson. Their purpose is
not to DO misnnderstood-it i. an
unflinching support OF Breckinri lge
and Lane, in whom they consider
rests all there is of the Democratic
party.
The Douglas men had prepared
to have a laugh at tho expense OF
the other wing, but it was evident
at nine o'clock to day, that this
would prove a larger Delegate Con
vention than tho Douglas Conven-
ton of the 4th OF July, though the
attendance Of outsiders was small.

supporters of Sunset Cox became

The White Mems Party


have recently put forth an carnes
appeal to the people Of that state
in which they very properly charac
terlze the present contest as one be
tween free white men and negr,
slaves. They say, "This party il
essentially the white mans party
Its sympathies are enlisted in be
half OF the white race, aud III
fundamental object ia to elevate ant
enobie free labor" This is onl,
u true and fair statement Of the es
sential issue. The mass of the Re.
publican party are opposed to slave
ry IN itself, but the grand prime OBJ.
Ject in the limitation and restriction
OF it, is the protection of free labor.
Wherever slavery goes. free labor is
depressed, and free laborers are do.
graded.
or all others, the curse of negro
slavery is visited most heavily upon
FREQ white laborers. To save them
from the curse and preserve our
Western domain Tor free homes for
Tree men, is one vital object OF the
Republican party.
On the other hand, the Demo
cratic party, in both wings, are in
favor Of letting into the territories Of
the West, hordes Of negro slaves, the
bondsmen of naughty and aristocr At
ic task masters, to compete with free
white men and to degrade the white
toiler to the level of their hum an
cattle. They are in favor of setting
down on our national domain, in
equal conflict, with tho start in ia vor
OF the black race, the sturdy ireeinen
OF the North and the negro slaves OF
tho South. They have notions OF
labor and no notions of the charac
ter OF the la6orers, which are incon.
sistent with the degraded and en-
forced toll OF the besotted slave
They are willing that the taint OF
slavery, which has 30 infected all the
white toilcrs Of the slave states as to
cause them to be regarded as a spe.
cies OF slaves, should be communi-
Gated to every part of this Union.
Let Iree white laboring men, and
all who have proper conceptions OF
free labor and tho dignity which at.
taches to it, consider these things
Sympathy Tor the crushed and de.
bauched slave, may add incentive to
political action against the extension
oi slavery, and constitute, AS il
should, powerful motive to inspire
tho true man with the requisite z,al,
but the interests Of free white labor
ing men are ample motives of them
selves. The Republican party is
the only party IN existence which
promises anything like adequate
protection 10 those interests. Who
will hesitate where 20 choose in the
conflict which is row upon us!--'
Who dare refuse to 30 vote as to-
guard the rights Of free labor and
Tree men against the degradation. the
curse OF slave labor, brought into
contact with il! Who dare refuse 81

ELECTION OF BLAIR FOR ruc SH II,

Pears, in cOnceding the election oi
Barret Tor the short term. BY Of
ticial count there are over two hun.
dred Republican tickets which were
polled for "F. Blair for Congress, ,
which he has not received credit for
80 far, and which give him a ma.
jority over Bsvret OF fifty or sixty
votes. That he Is entitled to these
votes both on tho long aud the short
term, no doubt can be entertained -
Tho ticket on which his nam. thus
appears is headed, "the Republican
ticket, with the exception Of the con
didates for Coroner and Marshal"
1t will, therefore. VIC submit, be the
duty Of the proper authorities to give
Mr.. Blair what no is 80 obviously
entitled to. Indeed, We cannot i'm
agine that Bsrret, who 30 affects to

Mr. Lincoln on the Principle Of Human
Freedom.

We published, several weeks ago,
a letter from Abraham Lincoln.
(writtcn about a month before his
nomination at Chicago,) which er-
presses moro clearly than anything We
have met with, the elementary prin.
Iciple OF Ropublicanism; and not
merely OF party Republicanism, bot
of the spirit OF Republicanism thro'-
out the world. 1t cannot be too
widely circulated, or to often read.
In reply to an invitation to attend the
celebration OF the birthday OF Thomas
Jefferson. Mr.. Lincoln says:
The Democracy of to-day hold
tho liberty of one man to DO sbso.
intely nothing, when in conflict with
another mans right oi property
Republicans on the contrary, ara for
both the man and the dollar; but in
case OF conflict, the man before the
dollar.

amused at seeing two partially In.
toxlcated men engaged in a fight
with their great coats on, which
fight, after long and rather harm.
less contest, ended in each having
fought himself out OF his own coat
and into that Of the other. II tho
two leading parties oi this day ars
really identical with tho two in tho
days Of Jefferson and Adams, they
have per formed the same feat as the
two drunken men.
But, soberly, it is now no child's
play to save the principles of JET
lerson from trtal overthrow this in

One would state with great con-
iidence that ho could convince any
sane child that the simpler pro-
positions OF Euc III ARE true; but new
ertheless, he would fail with one
who should Il ny the definitions and
axioms. The principles OF Jefferson
are the definitions and axioms Of tres

The Massacres in Syria

q of the hardest this country hos seen

how the Madamedans rose here, an,
the agitation Of the town, after tn,
pretended murderer OF the Moslen
was brought in the same day as wa
promised, and executed the follow
ing morning; but the most credited
opinion is that he was not the mur
derer, but that the real murderer j,
a Moslem himself, who got into g
quarrel with the murdered man, anc
stabbed him with a knife, which
caused his death.
Suspicion, Of course, was caSt upon
q Christian, who was seized in the
afternoon, and laid in prieon, and
soutenced 10 death upon the evidence
of a boy only eight years old. He
before his execution, called for a
Priest, and, having made his con
fession, declared that he mover killed
the man, but he said that I'll am
quite willing to Offer myself as a
sacrifice for the tranquility OF others.
Asking God to receive his soul and
pardon his prosecutors, he was led
to the place called Bourge- -cl Kashef,
and 'beheaded there; crowds of the
Mohammedan mob gathered togeth-
er, held his head by the hair, and,
beating it against the ground, cursed
his religion, his nation, and the
cross-all this and the Christians
keeping silent; besides that Moslems
had wounded and illtreated many
Of the Christians before, causing
many to fly to the vessels at sea, and
many Of whom passed several nights
on board.
About one thousand five hundred
natives and fugitive Christians de-
parted to Alexandria, Syria, Malta,
