OUR CITY POLITICs.

There are not far from Ten thousand Voters in
eur City who have not hitherto been counted
Republicans who will vote for Lincoln and Hamlin
if they shall feel that they can do so without
sacrifice Of selfrespect In other words, if they
are fairly and cOurteously invited to come into the
Republican ranks, they will do SO: if not, some of
them will vote our National ticket, while others
will not; but all will hold themselves aloof from q
complete utilization and sympathy with our party.
BY the just and necessary rules of our Organils-
tion only those who see fit to become members Of
the regular Republican Ward Associations can
participate in the choice Of our Nominating Com
mttees and Conventions. To forego this rule is to
allow our political adversaries to nominate our
candidates. But the rue is just only long as it
is Literally administered. If obstacles are design
eddy interposed to an enlargement of the member
ship Ofthe Cnbs--if citizens who stand ready to
cooperate with us are shat out of them-then they
become petty oligarchies which ought to be abol-
shed, and will come to be despised.
We shall soon be summoned to elect Delegates
to our State Nominating Convention, and we trust
to our local Nominating Conventions also; for We,
may as well make one job of the whole. But, pre-
lminary to this, the books of every Ward Associs-
ton should be open at some public place in the
Ward for the evenings of at least one week, and
public invitation be given to every legal voter who
will support Lincoln and Hamlin to give in, his
name for membership. With due action on tho
part of our General and Ward Committees, We
may double the numbers belonging to our Clubs
before the middle of August, aud thus guard
against the choice of our candidates III little
chques intent on personal ends. We beg al who
have the welfare Of the Republican cause ss heart
to give this matter early and earnest stteat;on.

MIR. BRECKINRIDGE AS A LOGICIAN

Considering that Mr.. Breckenridge, in his letter
accepting the Baltimore Seceders' nomination for
the Presidency, puts himself forward in the char
acter of the logical candidate, and his supporters
the logical party there to be rather lack of
consistency in the exposition which he gives of that
party sdoctrines and claims. Thus, he Indignantly
denies that he and his party do now or ever did de-
mapd Congressional slave code He insists that
they hold to the doctrine Of nOn-intervention by
Congress or by Territorial Legislatures either to
establish or to prohibit Slavery in the Territories;
yet in the same breath, he sets forth-and this he
makes the Distinguishing point of his political creed
the plain duty of the Federal Government, in all
its departments, to secure, when necessary the
enjoyment, as property, Of such slaves as
shall, during the continuance Of the Territorial
regime, be brought into the Territories.
That is TO say, if the Territorial Legislatures do
not il teryene TO establish Slavery by securing the
enjoyment o. property in slaves then it is the duty
of the Federal Government, in all its branches,
Congress included, to intervene for that purpose.
But the secure enjoyment of slave property il only
another name for the establishment OF Slavery.
The establishment Of Slavery consists in securing
the enjoyment of properly in slaves. To demand
that 10 failure of the Territorial Legislatures to
provide for such enjoyment, the Federal Govern
ment shall intervene for that purpose is to demand
the establishment of Slavery first at the hands of
the Territorial Legislatures and in default of their
action on the subject, at the hands of Congress;
for as to the Executive and Judicial Departments
of the Federal Government, their functions are
limited to the mere enforcement of laws previously
enacted.
What Mr. Breckenridge and his supporters insist
upon is, the enjoyment of slave property in the
Territories. If they cannot have it by the action
of the Territorial Legislatures, they demand the in
PREVENTION of Congress to secure it. Slave proper
ty can only be enjoyed through the aid and support
Of q slave code. To put forward the cleim that
slave, shall be held in the Territories as property
