GEoRaErowx. Sept. Il, 1860.

MEssRs. EpIroRs: Since the adjournment Of
our county Convention, the Democracy in this
vicinity and on this side Of the county are ac-
tive aud enthusiastic. Every man has energet-
icallV gone to work, with victory for his watch
word. Everywhere ! bear it remarked that
the delegates to the convention seemed to have
but one object in view, aud that was to noml-
nate the best men; and well did they perform
their duty. With such men as Fisk and B0we
as our leaders, we will make the COnness place
hunters and bulkheAd supporters hunt their
holes. We want the eloquent DR.. Harvey to
come over here and talk to the aOrs. in g the
English language" and when he comes, please
send Sanderson or Jim BOwe along ~ explain
his meaning to the people.
II is q notorious fact that the COnness ticket
is the weakest and most unpopular on this side
OF the county ever presented TO the people ior
their support. II is ticket composed OF dis
cOrdant elements, Of men who dispise each
other, and cannot cOnscientiOusly act harmo-
niOusly together. Neither faction has forgotten
old feuds, and quarrel may be expected at
any moment
The National Democracy have bright pros
poets before them in old Fl Dorado, but 10

pOrtant that every precinct should organize

entire vote on the day Of election. ! have

A WORD to those who in times past
were Of the true Democracy, but who
have thoughtlessly, rashly embraced that
heresy Of heresies, DouglasiSm. Exam
inc the record Of your confederntes, who
voted for the nominee of the Black Re-
publicans for Congress, at the last cleo
ton, and then pause and reflect and con-
slider whittier you arc drifting. "As
much as we dislike to sever the political
ties that have heretofore bound US in a
common cause, we cannot step off the
platform of principles upon which we have
so long stood, the work Of the champions
Of our party, to get on one made by man
whose whole history proves that his cleo
ton to the Presidency is paramount to
every other consideration; a man whose
every act proves that, if he cannot rule,
he is willing to ruin a man who is now
denouncing the ablest and purest and old
est Democrats in the Union-Cass, Dick
inson, Pierce, Butler, Mason, Hunter,
Breckenridge and Lane-as secessionists
and disunionists."
The semi-weekly mountain Democrat., 1860-09-26

OuR TIcKEr.-The opposition North
and South delight to attribute the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Breckinridge to the influ-
cnce Of Mr.. Yancey. The records of the
Convention show very cOnclusively, says
the Frankfort YeOmGn, that Mr. Breckin-
ridge was not the choice of the Alabama
delegation: That that delegation put Mr..
Hunter in nomination after Mr.. Breckin-
ridge had been placed in nomination by
Mr.. Loring, Of Massachusetts, seconded
by the Pennsylvania delegation. It is
true that all the States in the Convention
voted for the nomination when it was
made unanimous. The South did not
put him in nomination, the North did,
and with propriety therefore may he be
called the nominee of the conservative
Democracy of the North.
The semi-weekly mountain Democrat., 1860-09-26

LIT n N RENEMBERED that the Demo
cratic party, in the platform of principles
that it has enunciated, has declared moth
ing moro. nothing less than determine
ton to stand BY the decision of the high
estjudicial tribunal Of the United States,
70 long Is that decision remains unre-
versed.
Let 1t Be remembered that Mr.. Douglas,
in substance, takes the ground that there
is an appeal from the decisions of the Su.
preme Court Of the United States to public
assemblies
Let It be remembered that the Supreme
Court Of the United States has decided
that, under the Constitution of the United
States, neither Congress nor Territorial
Legislature can impair the right of any
citizen to any property that is recognized
us such by the Constitution.

INDIAN DIGGINcs.-"Thc political sen-

Frazier stands deservedly high in this

The semi-weekly mountain Democrat., 1860-09-26

IT MUST be apparent to every reflect
ing man that the Presidential contest has
narrowed down to the Black Republican
and Democratic candidates, and We con-
fidently expect to see every Democrat in
this county, who prefers the election of a
Democrat to that of . Republican, vote
for Breckinridge and Lane, for that is the
issue. 1t is doubtful if Mr.. Douglass will
receive single electoral vote. What
folly, then, for a Democrat to vote for a
man whose prospects are hopeless. Every
vote given for Douglass increases the
chances of Lincoln.
The semi-weekly mountain Democrat., 1860-09-26

YorNG Men should always be Demo
cratic in principle; they should never join
any other than the Democratic party, for
it is just as natural as the change Of sea-
sons for men, when they become old and
rich, to become isolated, selfish and aris-
tocratic, and consequently they abandon
the Democratic party-the party of the
people-for some other, more congenial to
their opinions. Democracy is the life Of
youth; Aristocracy the vanity Of old age.
The former is progressive; the latter, re-
Progressive. One has the life, the vigor,
the buoyancy Of youth; the other, the
feebleness, dread and fear of age. The
one presents an inviting field to the am
bilious; the other, dreary waste.

Mr. DouElss ON Slavery.

The Dubuque Herald, whose editor was
the recipient Of Mr.. Douglas letter pre-
scribing the platform upon which he
would accept the nomination of the
Charleston Convention, and may, there
fore, be looked upon as an authorized ex-
ponent Of the views Of that gentleman,
quotes his declaration that "he did not
care Whether sldrery wds rOted dozen or
roted wp," and adds the following explicit
commentary:
Judge Douglas. as a Northern man, does
nut believe in the justice or equality Of slavery.
lie believes il tO be an cCI but one which, as
~ the eiti1en Of nnnr laveholdiug State. he is
bound in honor. in good faith. and BY his Off
Cial oath, not to meddle with, but leave it TO be
continued or abolished by the States or Terri
turies where it exists. Ii he were citizen of
Territory his voice would be heard advoca-
ting the erection Of . FREQ State"
II Southern institutions be sinful and
wicked, il Mr.. Douglas conscientiously
believes 50, why docs he not at once join
the Black Republican party and cease
making such wry faces about what he will
he compelled to do in the end? Ifit be
wicked to keep negroes inferior to white
men, As God ordained If it be "an evil"
to have 1900, 900 Of Industrious negroes,
properly cared for, and good to have
5000, 600 indOlent, vicious and useless
ones; if it be ian evil" to raise 3,000,-
900 or 4. 4.0O0, 900 bales Of cotton per year,
and q good to have neglected and devas-
tated plantations, why then we allow Mr..
Douglas is right and the Democratic party
wrong.
We go, the National Democracy go for
preserving the existing institutions, which
were good enough and righteous enough
for the sages and patriots of the RevOlu-
ton, and which have produced degree of
National prosperity and development to-
tally unparalleled in history. We would
not hazard our commerce, our business,
or our form OF government to carry out
the unnatural doctrine Of negro equality.
We do not believe it practicable, benefi-
Cial, safe or in accordance with the de-
crees Of Providence. The white race is
dissimilAr in taste, habits and feelings
from the black. To reduce the former to
a level with the latter would be danger
Gus and degrading.
Mr.. Douglas joins hands with the Black
Republicans; for, holding as he does, that
slavery is wrong, il he be honest he is
hound to do all he fairly can for its orer-
three! Can the South. can honest, pa.
triOtic men, can the Democratic party
trust such . candidate? Not unless they
believe him to be dishonest, and that he
will not act up to his convictions. Such
q man, 1t is needless to say, deserves neither
support nor respect.

Keen it BEFORE the People.

Keep it before the people, that the
principles laid down and embodied in the
Constitution Of the United States, are
great and immutable truths, and not COM
promises Of conflicting opinions and in
tcrests.
Keep it before the people, that oil COM
promises in legislation, where great con-
stitutional principles are thereby violat-
ed, are corroding ulcers, which can only
weaken and must ultimately destroy the
body polite.
Keep it before the people, as true and
incontrovcrtlble, that whatever is held as
property by any or all of the States, and
recognized as property by the COnstitu-
ton of the United States, must be pro-
tected as property in the common terri
tories Of the United States.
Keep it before the people, that the Re-
publican leaders are amaIgAmationists,
and that they propose cffecting their
outrageous and abhOrrent designs, BY
surrendering the mystery IS well as the
masterpiece" Of creation, Gods nOblest
work, his greatest and best gift to man,
gentle, angelic woman, to the embrace Of
the semi-barbarous and contaminated
negro.
Keep it before the people, that the re-
cent developments Of the fiendish AbOli-
ton plot in Texas, discloses the terrible
and fearful design Of laying waste the
country by fire, poisoning the inhabitants,
numbering the aged females, and cOnsign-
ing the young, innocent and refined fe-
males to a fate worse than thousand
deaths.
Keep it before the people, that Abe
Lincoln, in 1874, Indignantly assailed
Thomas jefferson, the Apostle Of De-
mocracy and the author of the Declare
ton Of Independence.
Keep it before the people, that while
protesting to be the friend Of Henry Clay,
he was secretly and insidiously working
to defeat his nomination.
