dcncy in the State. lie went against
Judge Swan last year in the celebrated

brollod the State in n conflict with the
General Government, if his policy had
been carried out, Swan was decapitated
for being national, while Brinkelhoff is
rewarded for being sectional.

From the States and Union,
HOmestca Bill, u Democratic
Measure, Advocated by Doug

In various parts Of the North the Re.
publicans are making considerable excite,
ment in regard to homestead law
Land for the landless!" is one of the
campaign war-whoops of this tricky par
ty; and they are striving to steal the thun-
der of the Democracy on this question,
and din it into the ears of their partizans
as of their own manufacture. TO meet
this excitement, especially in Michigan,
the Detroit Free Press gives a slight
glimpse at the official record, so far as
the Presidential candidates are concerned
on this subject Our knowledge of the
facts, as passing under our own observa-
tion, comedies with the statement of our
Detroit contemporary, and is still further
backed up by the official debates as given
in the Congressional Globe.
The record gives direct and emphatic
contradiction to the Black Republican AS
sumption. 1t was not their measure
Our contemporary is correct when it says
that Senator Douglas has always been an
advocate of such q law, aud that so far as
Lincoln has a record at all, it is against
it, while Hamlin has always been one oI
the most persistent opponents it has had
to encounter. 1t is unnecessary to &c
back to tho various bills that have been
introduced into Congress for the last
eight years, for every one of which Mr.
Douglas has voted, and every ono OF
which Mr.. Hamlin has steadily opposed,
but ventilation of the Grow bill. on
which the Black Republican, have so much
to say, will be sufficient. That bill pass
cd the House in March last. by the aid OF
such Democratic votes as Cooper, OF
Michigan, Davis, English. Holman and
Niblack, of Indiana. McClernand. Rob
inson, Logan and Fouke, of Illinois,
Larrbec, of Wisconsin. Cox, Howard,
Martin. and Vallandigham, of Ohio, and
Others. 1t went to the Senate, and after
some time the committee to which it had
been referred made report substituting
the Senate bill in its place.
On the 10th of May, this bill being
under consideration, Mr.. Douglas offered
an amendment extending its provisions
to land which had already been pre-empt-
ed rs well as to that which had been sur

" The Cleveland National Democrat, Breck-
enrdge paper, says, in reply to the assertion that
there are no Breckenridge men in Holmes county,
that it sends % copies of the Campaign Democrat
into the county, and that new subscribers are
"stl coming" and, further that The Douglas men
don't usually take u.-RcpubHcan
1t is only necessary to say that the prin-
cipal club that comes to this county was
made up by Mr.. Plank, an ardent Repub-
lcan, and the list was headed by Dr. II.
r. Gaily, who one year ago was the Re-
publican candidate for Senator, and beaten
100 votes after resorting to more dirty
tricks than many men are capable of do
ing to secure his election. 1t is true that
"the Douglas men don't usually take it, u
and It is equally true that the Black Re-
publicans do. 1t is also true that Breck
inridgc cant get twenty votes in Holmes
county, and our ncighbor Of the Repub-
Fcan is aware of it, and when he prints
such articles as the above he docs it for
the purpose Of misleading the people.

why Douglas ~ strong.

Says the Louisville Democrats The
strength of Douglas, just now. arises
from nothing personal, His suporiort tai
ent i, not the cause of it. II he held the
doctrines Of his opponents. no matter
how ably he might advocate them. he
would have few supporters, Douglas is
the great champion of the plan of settle
ment Of tho slavery question, on which
alone national party can stand 1t is
this position that gives him strength
On this account he is now tho choice of
three fourths of the Democratic voters in
the United Statos, and the polls in No
,emrer will show il.

ISeslsem ber

Soldiers Of the Mexican War, that while
you were perling limb and life in Mexico
for SO per month, that Abraham Lincoln
while in Congress drawing rs per day
and mileage, was using every effort to de-
grade you, and finally voted Noy on the
Bill granting you one hundred and sirty
acres of land 1t is for you to say whether
you will vote for him, or aid in his cleo
ton by throwing your votes away on
Breckenridge. Much AS you may respect
Gen Lane for his gallantry and courage
you should not carry your gratitude to
the extent of indirectly aiding in the cleo
ton of tory president. In Ohio, every
man who wants to rebuke Lincoln must
vote for Douglas.

The Reaction.

Judge DoudLAs seems to have kindIed
a perfect blaze Of enthusiasm amoug the
Southern masses. Nearly all the South
ern papers give glowing accounts Of the
great reaction that has taken place in
most of the Southern States within a
month past, but at those points where the
people have had an opportunity to see
and hear their great champion, the storm
seems to have arisen in perfect grandeur,
mountain high, sweeping onward with re-
sistless energy and power.
Says the Petersburg MteNigcncer. an
Opposition paper, "Senotor Douglas ad-
dressed an immense assemblage last even
ing in this city, and swelled the crowd 20
perfect food tide, DoUGLAs is more al
home among the people than any great
public man we ever saw or heard of, and
seems at once to fasten like hook o
steel upon all who hear or see him. H
proceeds to Raleigh. The further Soutl
he goes, the wilder grows tho storm o
popular enthusiasm upon which he i
now being whirled. God speed yol

The Progress of the Battle.

The Democracy of Ohio are at this
time fighting great battle. From the
Lakes to the Ohio and from the eastern
to the western boundary, the strong men
of the party. tho devoted lovers of our in
stitutions and the advocates of popular
rights, are constantly engaged in discuss
ing the great issues involved in the con-
test, before large and enthusiastic assem-
blies of the people. Douglas and John
son, and Popular Sovereignty, are the
talismanic words which sink deep into
the hearts of the voters. and arouse them
to determined action. Never did the
people Of Ohio take deeper interest in
any campaign, than the Democratic elect
ors do in this one, Never were the mum
Der of accessions to our cause so great as
they are at this time; and the feeling that
we will carry the State is becoming uni
versal among Democrats. Such being
the state of the contest, We urge our
friends everywhere to press forward; to
systematically perfect their organizations;
to labor diligently and thoroughly for the
promotion OF our canse, and the success Of
our ticket Let every fair and honorable
effort be made to redeem the State. and
we will come off victorious, and place
Ohio again in the Democratic column.
Who will not labor for this? Who will
not lend his aid to effect so great and
glorious an object? Every true and gem
uine Democrat in Ohio will put his shoul-
der to the wheel and aid the good cause
with all his energies, - Statesman.

WARRENToN Va, Aug. 81, 1860.
Hon. WM HELMIcx Sir, | on yesterday re-.
ceived yours Of the 18th inst, having been absent
some days from home.
In your letter you inform me "that there is a
gentlemen in II his county, who is busy engaged
to the effect that you should have said that on
the 9th of April last, when Capt. Arthur Ed.
wards bill came up to be put upon its passage,
ihat should have went to you and asked you to
support the bill and assured you that it would not
amount to more than thirty thousand dollars,
when in fact, by the Presidents calculation in his
veto message, it would amount to more than
double that sum" You proceed and add, "now
am satisfied you never said 20 to any person, be.
cause such is not the fact. In the first place, at
that time, | had no acquaintance with you what.
ever, and had nc conversation with you in refer.
cnce to the bill" And you afterwards express
the hope that twill answer this to you and set
the matter right"
In reply have first to express my regret that
my recollection does not correspond with yours,
and that should be dragged into the controversies
of your District Still, | do not feel at liberty to
withhold my recollcctions of public subjects when
called for, and proceed to respond to your letter.
When the first bill for the relief of Capt Edwards
was up for consideration, you came to me, q sup
posed, because, it was well understood that was
apt to oppose all claims Of stale or doubtful char
acter,) and urged me not to oppose it. The bill
not specifying any amount, as remember, ask
ed the amount that would probably be paid under
it. You replied that you could not say, but not
more than about twenty eight (2S) hundred dol.
lars | replied that when the amount was small
generally let the bill pass, even when its justice
was doubtful, to gcti out of the way that would
not oppose it. The bill passed, and when the
Presidents vigilance disclosed thatit would draw
some eighty thousand dollars from the treasury
much indignation was felt, which shared, for
felt that | had been most culpably mised about it
In speaking Of the loose way in which bad caimi
| frequently slipped through Congress | mentioned
this case, on several occasions, "a an apt lustra
tion--in whose presence know not, but certainl,
without the slightest desire for concealment
| lrepeat my regret that our recollections shoult
clash, but have great confidence in the substan
tial accuracy of the statement have given yol
about the Edwards claim. | will add that shal
send copy of this letter in reply to another ette
from a gentleman Of your District.

tFrom the New Philadelphia Democrot0
A Very Important Letter
About Hon. william lscln,icK
nud the Edwards Claim.

Rumor was rife here some weeks since,
that Mr.. llelmick had undertaken as a
member of Congress and also one of the
Committee on Post Offices aud Post
Roads, to engineer through Congress a
Bill purporting to romunoratc Capt Ed
wars and others for carrying the mails
from Cleveland to Toledo, Detroit DC,
and that he Hclmick had made represen-
tatons to the Hon. William M. Smith. a
Member of Congress from Virginia, as to
the amount the bill, ifpassed would take
from the L. 5. Treasury.
The Coshocton Age undertook to JUS
tiry Helmick for favorng the Bill because
the court of claims had reported tavora-
bly, thereto. 1t also denied that Mr.. Hell
mick ever had any conversation with MIR.
Smith upon that subject
1t will be seen, from the statement Of
Mr.. Smith, that Mr. Hclmck DID hold a
conversation with Mr. Smith, and he
Smith emphatically says, that Hclmick
not only urged him not to object the pas
sage of the bill, but also told Smith that
the amount claimed by the bill would not
amount to more than twenty eight hun
dred dollars.
1t appears that after the bill did pass
and went to the President for his sigma
tire, he caused the matter to be examined
at the office of the Postmaster General
when it was found that Edwards & Co.
would have received the sum of EIGHTY
THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED FoRTYsEvEN
DOLLARS if President Buchanan had not
vetoed the Bill.
1t behoovcs Mr.. IIelmick to clear him
self Of the charges, or he will, as he ought
to- receive the condemnation of every
honest man be his politics what they may
We do not charge the wrong upon Mr.
Helmick, but that an attempt has beer
made to deceive the government must b,
manifest to all.
We ask the Republicans Of this distric
, what they think of their member Of Con
, gress, whose memory is so short that b
could not remember a matter that was o
SO much importance to his reputation anC
to the reputation Of the 18th district, an,
which excited so much talk and indigna
ton among the members of Congress a
Washington. We think instead of re
tuning such man to Congress the
ought to call upon the hills to cove
him.
But read the letter, the original whicI
was sent to Helmick by Smith; and a
