An esteemed correspondent outside OF the
city, has sent for publication some good sug-
gestions on the subject of the location of
Perry's Monument on the bank of the Lake
on the site Of Gen. Hurrison's old Stockade
Fort near the foot Of Seneca street The
suggestions, however, are too latei and we
regret to say that the subject of a Park over
looking the Lake did not enter into the plan
of ornamenting Cleveland by the early land
ed prOprietors or City Fathers. All north Of
Lake street and between Erie and Water
streets, should have been made public
grounds, and with proper Improvement and
care they would have become the most de-
Gghtfully attractive Of any in the West, In
stead Of appropriating 10 public use the great
feature of Cleveland scenery, Lake Erie, il
has been wholly ignored in the location o.
Parks, Public Institutions, Cemeteries, etc.
much to the regret now of strangers sojourn
ing here during cheated terms, and our cit
izens generally. Even Clinton Park, is Gu
off from the Lake by a street and residences
and the Marine Hospital grounds, overlooking
the Lake, are surrounded by a stone wall
and are LETT barren Of trees and shrubs b.
the Government as a desert.
The location Of the beautiful aud com
manding statue Of the youthful Hero 0
Lake Erie has been permanently fixed b!
the City Council in the centre of the old Pub
lie Square, and there it win be unveiled Il
the multitude on the 10th Of ofSeptember. TIL,
location, all things considered, is the mos
appropriate that could have been selected
for tle site OF Gen. Harrisons old Stock
ade Fort is private property and built upon
as well as the Lake bank generally along tn
front of the city. Were it now practicable
the present Public Square should be ex
changed for Grand Battery north Of LAX
street. running down to the Rail Road tracks
The exchange would be worth millions to tn
future of Cleveland.

PopuInrion Of BunhIo.

The Courier gives the result of the census
in the l3 wards of Buffalo, very nearly ex-
act. 1t shows total population of 81, BAL.
In 1855, the population was 74,476. In
crease in FIVE years 7,O65, or at the rate of
nearly 1900 per annum. The Courier says :
We regard this as speaking in sufficiently
strong terms of the growth and prosperity
of Buffalo. In the lustrum during which
this substantial progress has been made, we
have passed through a season of depression
deeper and more trying let US hope, than
shall ever befall again. 1t was a standing
reproach in the mouths of enemies of our
interests, that emigrauts from Buffalo in 1858
might be counted by thousands. Grant that
such was the case, and the figures we have
given above only show more conclusively that
the tide has now set still more strongly in
the other direction; and that our city is
now, by its new and constantly rising man
uiaeturing enterprises, and by its fully re-
stored commerce. drawing around it that
stately aggregate of population, which viii
be in keeping with its Importance as the
Queen City of the Lakes.

The Census Returns.

The first OF September is the limit for the
reception Of census returns at Washington,
and it is stated that they viii probably all be
in by that time The>returns are rppidly
reaching Washington, and from the figures,
as they at present show, it is assumed that
the total population Of the United States will
not fall short OF thirty two millions, being
an increase Of nearly one-third since 1850,
when the last census was taken. The history
Of no country, either in aucient or modern
times, has exhibited the same rapid multipli-
cation OF is people, aud in none the agricul-
tural and industrial resources developed in
their progress, have kept such even pace with
their numerical growth. ...

One Of the authors Of Mr.. Lincolns biog-
raphy relates an interesting instance of Mr..
LIS political sagacity, as follows. He had
in debate triumphantly answered that set
Of iuterrogations which Mr. Douglas calcula-
ted would crush him. and in return had made
up his mind that his antagonist should be
presented with a collection. His plan was to
compel him, by public interrogation, to repu-
diate the Dred Scot decision or the doctrine
of uufriendly legislation in the Territories
Before the discussion commenced at Freeport
Mr.. Lincoln informed his friends of his in
tention. They unanimously counseled him
to abandon his purpose; for" said they,
if you put that question to him, he viii per-
ceive that an answer giving practical force
and effect to the Dred Scott decision in the
Territories inevitably loses him the battle,
and be will therefore reply by affirming the
decision as an abstract principle, but denying
its practical application " But said Mr..
Lincoln, " if he does, he can never be Presi-
dent His friends replied, "ThRt is not
your lookout-you are after the SenatorshiP.' y
"No, gentlemen, said be, 81 an killing larger
camel The battle Of 1860 is worth hundred
of thisT' From the day Mr.. Douglas pro-
mulgated this doctrine of unfriendly legisla-
ton" to save himself in Illinois, he was a
doomed man in all the South, and the "battle
of 1860" was won for the Republicans,
/. though Mr.. Lincoln of course could not know
that he was to be their gallant leader.

rs,n. nnd rhe pongIas sedIrIon Law

Mr.. Douglas said in one Of his speeches last
winter, when he was trying to cultivate the
favor of the South:
Mr.. President, themode preserving peace
is plain This system Of sectional warfare
must cease. The Constitution has given the
power, and all we ask of Congress is to give
the means and we, By indictments and cORU'c-
tons IN the Federal Courts Of our seUerat States,
will make such examples of the leaders Of
these conspiracies as will strike terror into
the hearts of the Others, and there will be an
end of the crusade.
Sir. give us a law as the Constitution con-
templates and authorizes, and will show the
Senator from New York that there is con-
bic conflict" will open the prison door to
all conspirators against the peace of the Re-
public and the domestic tranquility of our
States to select their cells wherein to drag out
a miserable life, as q punishment for their
crimes against the peace Of society.
Now it seems that Texas has been passing
just such law as Mr.. Douglas wanted. We
copy two Of its sections;
Art 653. A Any free person who shall
publicly maintain that masters have no right
of property in their slaves either by speaking,
writing or printing, shall be punished by con-
fnement in the penitentiary not less than two
nor more than four years.
Art. 653. B. Any free person who shall
privately or otherwise than publicly main
tain that masters have no right Of property
in their slaves, with purpose to bring the in
stitution of slavery into disrepute in the mind
of any free inhabitant of this State, or ofany
resident for the time being therein, shall be
punished by confinement in the penitentiary
not less than two nor more than FIVE years.

FOrney's Press opposes the action Of the
Democratic State Central Committee at Cres-
Eehemently, and denOuuces itas q a delib-
crate assassination of the Democratic creed, ?,
which would excite universal surprise and
indignation if the manner in which that body
is constituted, and the material of which it is
composed, were not fully appreciated by the
people Of all parties" It will be recolleoted
that the Committee decided that the electoral
vote the State should be cast for any man
running as a Democrat whom it could elect,
and the Press proceeds to show that the
"compromisen would do great injustice to
the friends of Douglas. It is apparent that
the proposed fusion is not acceptable to the
Douglas wing Of the partyi and the Philadel-
phia Inquirer, candid and influential indie
pendent journal, says" As the case stands
now, the more sagaciOus adherents of the
Democratic party freely admit that it is but
of slight practical Importance to the contest
in November, whether their party presents a
divided OF united front to their adversaries.-
If a combination is formed that viii, in any
contingency, enure to the advantage Of Breck-
enridge, thousands of the Douglas men will
stay at home on election day, or else vote for
Lincoln. If on the other hand, such a COM
promise is effected as admits the regularity Of
Douglas, and looks to his exclusive benefit
then thousands of the breckenridge Demo-
crats win sullenly refuse to vote. If a di-
vided front is shown, Of course defeat is inev-
liable. Either way makes Lineon's 'elec-
ton sure in Pennsylvania" &

Mr.. Breckenridge az Homo.

A correspondent of the New York Herald
writing from Lexington, KY, states that
since his return from Washington the Vice
President of the United States has taken
quarters at the Phoenix Hotel in Lexington,
with his family; and he says "there is not
man living who enjoys higher degree of
personal popularity than John c. Brecken-
ridge, while his family relations are of the
most influential as well as of the most pleas
urable description. The Breckenridge family
are of themselves a power in the State. By
marriage, Major Breckenridge allied himself
to a most worthy and estimable family,
whose connections are among the highest of
the genuine Kentucky nobLesse. He married
a daughter of Rhodes Burch, Esq, promi-
nent citizen of Scott county. Mrs. B. was
regarded as belle, and as amiable and ac-
eomplished as she was beautiful. They have
FIVE children-three boys and two girls-a
truly happy family. Mrs. Breckenridge is
regarded now as oneof the most elegant and
fascinating of Kentucl1ys fair daughters,
while the gallant Major himself stands aSaul
among the handsome men of the State. His
form is tall and erect, his mien commanding.
His features are remarkably expressive, and
marked by the clear lines Of good nature,
combined with a happy and social tempera-
ment His eyes would be charming in any
man or woman, but in his own head they are
the lights that bespeak warm and generous
soul, the indexes Of a brilliant intellect, and
at the same time the signals Of determined
will Major Breckenridge is almost too good
looking to be President for all iwomaRkind
would then be in danger of falling in love
with him, and then what would the people
say2 Major Breckenridge owns two slaves
house servants. He is not, however, well
assuredo of the fact whether he owns them or
they own him, although they are as likely
boys as you viii find south of Mason and Dix
onis line. They adore him as kind and
good master. One of these boys is named
Sam. He is lusty fellow, and is allowed
every liberty consistent with his position of
servitude. The Vice President is q member
Of the Presbyterian Church-an outside pill
lar thereof Mrs. Breckenridge is a member
Of the Baptist persuasion. They are both
regular attendants upon Church, but the Ma
jor's public duties prevent his giving that at
tention to religious exercises which his judg-
ment and natural instincts would lead him.
He is devOut man and a Christian, and
never uses profane language, although he
chews tobacco. Strict in his religious pro
cliVities, he does not like to talk politics on
the Sabbath, although he does not think he is
breaking the Decalogue by inviting friend
to take little pure Bourbon on that holy
day. he keeps the best Bourbon in Ken
tucl0y. but uses very little of it himself
rarely unless afflicted with the Kentucky Dip
liberia. In a recent interview with him, the
conversation turned upon the natural pro-
ductions of Kentucky. OF course Bhiskey
was introduced-the subject mean. Major
Breckenridge, with . bland mile, observed

MARYLAND nrecl.cnrIhrc Convention.

The Breckenridge wing OF the Maryland
Democracy held State Convention in Balti-
more onthe 9th, and full representation OF
the counties was present. The principal
object of the convention was to fill the vacan-
cies in the electoral ticket caused by the
secession Of two Of the electors nominated
from the support Of Breckenridge and Lane,
and to adopt some measures, the Clippersays,
to save their dismembered party from total
rout and annihilation. The nomination OF
Breckenridge and Lane was endorsed, and
Hon. Joshua Vansaut and 7. Parkin Scott
Esq, were appointed to ill the vacancies in

TION, WHETHER SLAVERY MAY OR
MAY NOT GO INTO A TERRITORY UN-
DER THE CONSTITUTION, THE PEOPLE
HAVE THE LAWFUL MEANS TO INTRO

PLEASE, for the reason that Slavery cannot
exist a day or an hour anywhere unless il is

the local Legislature; and if the people are
opposed to Slavery, they will elect representa-
tives to that body who will, by unfriendly
legislation, efFectually prevent the introduc-

The Hon. Wm. H. Merritt, managing di-
rector of the Welland Railway, las made
arrangements with George Steele, of Chicago,
to purchase twenty-five thousand bushels of
wheat, TO ship direct to England. The wheat
is to 90 out from Montreal by steamer, and
is expected to reach Liverpool from Chicago
inside Of twenty-five days The English
Government has granted a subsidy to the
Montreal line Of screw steamers Of $500, 900
per annum; and the Press staies that if Mr.
Merritts shipment and the fall business gem
orally seem to warrant it, vigorous effort
VIII be made to induce the Government to
grant the subsidy in such a way as to secure
daily line Of propellers between Liverpool
and Montreal, and daily line viii run in
connection with them between Chicago and
Montreal
Mr. Merritt, at a recent meeting of the De-
troit Board of Trade, expressed his views on
the subject Of the Reciprocity Treaty. His
idea was, that, instead of abrogating ii, it
would prove more to the advantage OF the
United States to extend it. A favorite plan
in Canada, he said, was to establi sh the
most perfect freedom of trade between the two
countries. He wished to see Canada hold
the same relation to the States, commercially,
that one State does to another. This could
only be done by Canada adopting our tariff,
and collecting at Quebec the same duties on
foreign imports that thew would mas, If on
tered at Kew York. Thus in commercial
point Of view, the United States and Canada
would become one country, on a pripcipie
similar to the one that SO admirably forms
the groundwork Of the Zoll-Verein in En-
rope. Then ali our custom houses on the
lakes might be abolished, and the cost of
their maintenance be saved; while he was
persuaded that the plan would result equally
satisfactorily to parties on both sides Of the
line.
