A Kentucky Douglas Orator ON Squattor
Sovereignty.

A friend who was present informs us that Col
/ JAMES G. LEACH, of Ky, made speech at Bowling
Green on Monday night last in behalf of BRECKIN-
RIDGE and LANE and was replied to by the Hon.
JAMES p. Bates on behalf of DOUGLAS and JOHNSON.
In the course of Mr. Bates speech he labored
hard to prove that the people of the Territories
alone have the right toy determine for themselves
the question of slavery no slavery, and to show
that BKBoKNaDGE is committed to that doctrine.
After he had dwet upon the subject at length, Col
LEACH interrupted him and remarked that as he
would not have opportunity to say anything in
reply being about to start away on the cars be de-
sired TO ask Mr. BATES question. Certainly, sir"
said Mr. BATES. Col. L. then asked him to say when
the people of the Territories have the right to de-
termine the question of slavery? Mr. BATES said be
would answer the question in Mr.. BREcKINRIDGE's
own language and proceeded to read from dOcu-
ments TO prove that BRECKNRDoE holds the doctrine
that the question properly belongs to the people of
the Territories Col LEACH insisted that the ques-
ton he had put TO Mr.. BATES was not answered and
he again respectfully urged him to answer ii direct
". Mr.. Bates again eYaded answering and Col L.
messed the question the third time earnestly solicit
inc direct answer. Mr. BATES then said he would
answer it and did SO, by saying that 'as people Of
the Territories hare The right to determine the question Of
slavery WHEN THEY MAKE A STATE GOVERNMENT AND
NOT BEFORE"
Very well, said Col. LEACH, then have no reply
to make as we agree. That is BREcKNRIDGE's doc
trine-the doctrine of the Democratic party and
glad to find yousdll with us in principle although
you are supporting DpuGIAs whose doctrines on the
subject are very different from ouas

a majority Of cases the necessity may never arise,
and then the Democratic party wiz never ask for
unnecessary legislation. We have presented the
argument to show that such cast arise in the
Territories Of the United States and then slave

GENLEMEN:-E EN-. ETHER1DGE spoke here last Satur-
day for three and a-lialf mortal hours He appear
ed as the advocate of the North against the South
For about two and ahalf hours he labored to prove
that the South had got all she had ever demanded of
the North-and If she did not get what she asked
she got something better, that Southern men and
Southern newspapers were ever magnifying the
vices of the North and conceang her virtues SO as
to arouse the Indignation of the Southern people
unjustly against our brethren Of the North, &c
His speech was regarded by many who heard him
as the strongest free-soil effort made by any
one who was not an avowed abolitIonist, North of
Mason & DIxons line. / heard one of his own
party say that the sentiment of his speech did not
suit him and that if he had made the same in Illinois
it would have been loudly applauded. He denomi-
mated the DOUGLAS men his allies, said he did not
want to fight them, that it would be like striking
brother, &c. But he was so strong against the
South that they could not stand him and some of
them denounced him bitterly. He poured out the
walls of his feeble wrath against the BRECKNRDGE
party-called them disunionists, freeaters, nullif
ers, &C., not worthy to be trusted having become
corrupt by the spoi,s of Office and the temptations
of power. All which pleased BELLS adherents
amazingly. But the BRECKENRIDGE men stood firm
amidst his vile calumnies and bitter denuncistions
and gave him to understand by their actions, that
they could look with stOical Indifference upon
the mad serpent he in his last hroes of political
life lashes himself into fury beating the air with
his fist, all because the people had not enough
confidence in his party to place them in power. He
finally wound up by telling the audience to rally to
the support of the Union party to save the Union.

the name "Wide-Awake" was the designation by
which John Browns company was known in Kan

speeches that the "Wide-Awake" organization was
relied on to assist at the Inauguration of LINCOLN
a fact which has before been limited. The "Wide
Awakes" have a regular military drill, and an Or

SEWARD proves that it is designed to support by
force, If necessary to their plans, the of

OFF TRUXILLO Sept. IA, 1860.
Editors of True Della: have but moment'e time
to tell you that we arrived off this port this morn
ing with thirty men for Gen. Walker We noticed,
upon sailing into port suspicious absence of small
craft. After sailing within two miles of fort the
captain hove to, uncertain what course to pursue,
and hailed passing "Dory" manned by two caribs
they were induced to stop after rife had been aim
ed at Them but they professed utter ignorance of all
that was going A council of war was held,
and it was FINALS determined to make a feint to
leave port The ship was put about before TWEEN
ty-four FOUNDER fired at her. This put the cues
ton beyond dispute, and convinced US that although
we might not be welcomed, we would meet with
warm reception. We Immediately ran over to Ru-
stan and ascertained there that Gen. Walker had
been compelled to eVacuate Truxillo by an English
man-of-war. If the "greasers" at Truxillo had
been smart, they could have easily entced us into
port, but as it was they did not draw it fine enough
and we escaped. Il is very difficult to obtain full
particulars but think you rely upon the fol-
lowing statement as far as it goes
The general left TruxilIo for Lymas, and was at
tended by the ''greasers.n On his way he lost one
man and one wounded. The enemy were command
ed by Frenchman, and numbered 40 men, but so
of them returned to the fort. Walker divided his
scany Store of provisions with those of the enemy
who were wounded. HeHhad scarcely .entrenched
himself when he was again ordered to leave by the
English
He then left for Black river On his route he was
attacked by the greasers guerilla fashion and lost
twenty men; loss of the enemy unknown. He forti-
fled himself at this point assisted by the natural ad-
yantages of the country, in such that even
the English admit that he could not have been taken
The captain of the English man-of here took the
whole party prisoners. The men were sick worn
out and discouraged They were all taken to Trux-
lilo, and are to be sent home by the British except
Gen. Walker and Col. Rudler who refused to de-
clare themselves citizens of the United States or any
other country except Nicaragua. They were deliv-
cred to the Spaniards by the English and are to be
shot tomorrow. The fact of our having run into
Truxio will probaly hasten Their doom. This state
ment was obtained in hurried manner as cur schoon-
er dare not remain near Ruatan, as the Hondurains
are cruising in search of filibusters, armed and
manned for the purpose. You will, however re-
ceive in few days full particulars. R.
P. 81 can only obtain the names of three OF
Walkers men who were killed; COL Henry and
James Hogg, of New Orleans, and Mr.. Parsons, of
Mobile.
