Speech of Judge Douglas at Norfolk, Va

On Saturday evening week Judge Doug
las delivered an address at Norfolk to an aud
ience Of nearly six thousand people. The
address occupied two hours in delivery. The
following is taken from a report in the Her
aid:
In the middle Of his address slip of paper
was handed to him. 1t was cut from the
Norfolk Daily Argus, and contained two po
lite questions for Judge Douglas.
Having ascertained the questions thus pro-
pounded, he said thereon, | am not in the
habit of answering questions propounded to
me in the course of an address, but on this
occasion | will comply with the request, and re
spond very frankly and unequivocally to
these two questions.
The first question is, if Abraham Lincoln
be elected President Of the United States will
the southern states be justified in seeding
from the Union?
To this | emphatically answer no." The
election Of man to the Presidency by the
American people, in conformity with the
Constitution Of the United States, would not
justify any attempt at dissoving this glori
Gus Contederacy. Now | will read to you
the next question, and then answer it.
Question. If they, the southern States, Sc.
of Abraham Lincoln, before he commits an
overt act against their constitutional rights,
will you advise or vindicate resistance by
force to their secession?
Voices. "No, mop " Bell men say no,
Douglas"
Mr.. Douglas. answer emphatically that
it is the duty Of the President Of the United
States, and all others in authority under him,
to enforce the laws of the States as passed by
Congress, and as the courts expound them.
And |, as in duty bound by my oath of fdcl-
ity to the Constitution, would DO al In my
power to aid the Government Of the United
States in maintaining the supremacy of the
laws against all resistance 10 them, come
from what quarter it might In other words,
| think the President of the United States,
whoever he may be, should treat all attempts
to break up the Union, by resistance of its
laws, as Old Hickory treated the nullifers in
1882.
After saying that the only true and osten
sible object in making a Breckenridge ticket
in the North was to give Lincoln every one
Of those states, he says the secesSionists af
ter doing this " come forward and ask me if
| will help them to dissolve the Union in the
event of Lincoln being raised to the Presden-
tial chair. | would tell them no-nevcr on
earth" Cheers and cries Of good"

On motion Of Mr.. Clark Of Missouri, at
the instance of Mr. Hoge, of Virginia,
the question was then propounded from
the chair whether the nomination Of Doug
las should or should not be, without fur
ther ceremony, the unanimous act of the
Convention and of all the delegates pres
ent, the chairman distinctly requesting
that any delegate who objected (whether
or not having voted) should signify his dis
sent. No delegate dissented; and thus,
at last, was Stephen A. Douglas unanimous
ly nominated in Convention representing
more than two-thirds of all the electoral
votes as the candidate of the Democratic
party.
Mr. Douglas is therefore in our opinion
the " regular nominee" and any comprom-
lse with or recognition of another body,
comprising less than one third of the con-
vention, is to recognize disorganization
as superior to the old democratic doctrine
that the majority ought to rule and the
minority submit.

Nomination of Judge Hale for Con.
preSS


we heretofore noticed that in Potter
county Judge Hale was unanimously re-
commended for Congress, and more recent
ly Miffiin county did the same. In Lv-
coming county the Peoples Convention
took action on the matter as follows:
The Convention proceeded to nominate a
candidate for Congress, when Hon. James T.
Hale was unanimously declared the choice of
Lycomng county, by acclamation.
On motion q. W. Ioungman, f. D. Trump
and Lindsay Mahafey, were appointed Con-
gresslonal Couferees.
In Clinton county a similar convention
has the subjoined proceedings:
James /. Hale was nominated bv aeclama.
ton for Congress.
In Centre county, last week
On motion of Peter Wilson, of Gregg, Hon
James T. Hale was enthusiastically nomina.
ted by acclamation, as the choice of Centre
county for a candidate for the Office of Repre-
sentative in Congress.
1t will thus be seen that the suggestion
we advanced of conferee meeting being
unnecessary has been justified in FIVE out
OF the SIX counties comprising the dis
trict, and will also no doubt be ratified in
Sullivan. Notwithstanding this. we are
ready to send conferees whenever time
and place may be agreed upon. should
such meeting be deemed necessary.

@Tbe Demoerat wants to know when

~The Democrat wants to know when
Lincoln endorsed increased duties. The
Chicago platform asserts the principle that
in laying duties "sound policy requires such
an adjustment as to encourage the ln-
dustrial interests of the whole country"
which language the Democrat has for years
contended means protection. :" Besides,
his friends in the T. s. Senate, q in num-
Der, and 81 out of 81 in the House, voted
for Morrill's Tariff bill, fact which clear
II indicates where Lincoln stands. HAY
ing thus answered the Democrat, We now
ask it to toe the mark by naming the dem
ocrats in the Senate aud House who voted
for that bill, and also to state whether it
endorses the following resolution re-affirm-
ed by both the conventions which nomin-
ated Douglas and Breckenridge. Now, no
backing out or equiyocating-here Is the
democratic creed
:" Resotred, That there are questions con
nected with the foreign policy of this cOun-
try which are inferior to no domestic ques
tions whatever. The time has come for the
people Of the L. S. to declare themselves in
favor of free seas and PROGRESSIVE FREE
TRADE throughout the world, and by SOL
emn manifestations to place their moral in
fuence by the side Of their successful exam
pie"

Is Douglas the Regular Nominee

We have often been asked this question,
and in answer thereto give the follow
ing facts, which ought to be conclusive to
any unprejudiced mind.
After all secessions, as we'll as the refusal
Of certain delegates from Georgia and Ar
kansas, together with the entire delegations
from Texas and Mississippi, to occupy their
seats, the National Convention at Balti-
more yet retained 424 delegates, or 2l2
electoral votes being ten more than two
thirds Of the electoral votes of the whole
Union. But some of these delegates Gas
the case Of Georgia. refrained from voting,
the majority of the delegation having re-
tired others as the case of Arkansas), al
though full delegations, and authorized, in
case Of any secession, to cast the whole
vote of their State, preferred only to
cast that which would be a fair pro-
portion betweenthc seceders and them
selves and yet others Gas in the case Of
Delaware and portions Of the delegations
from Kentucky and Missouri declined to
vote, but refused to secede, This accounts
for the fact that, upon the second ballot
by States, Mr.. Douglas received only 1917
votes, Mr.. Breckenridge receiving 103, Mr.
Guthrie votes, the States of South Car
olina s and Florida 3 having authorized no
delegates to any Convention in Baltimore.
Here is the ballot as recorded:

Mr.. Bates and a Tariff.

The Democrat don't like any reference
to Mr.. Bates anti-tarif vote in the House
last winter. We have only to repeat what
we said before, that it would have been
more consistent in Mr.. B. to have voted
for the tariff resolutions and protested
against the one declaring the Legislature
had no faith in Buchanan than to vote
against them and then turn round and
protest he was a tariff man! BY the by
would it not be as wel for the Douglas men
to know whether Mr.. Bates, if elected, will
vote f.r Beef Bigler for Senator, in case
he is the nominee of that party next win
ter, by no means an improbable event?
Our opinion is that the democratic nomin-
ee is breckenridge man, and that Judge
Coplin was not far wrong when he declared
the whole ticket to be composed Of straight
outs, that is, opposed to Douglas.

man who thinks this country was not made

GOVERNMENT EXPENSES UNDER DEMocRAT-
&C RuLE.-1n a speech delivered last year,
the Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, Of Georgia,
than whom there is not an ADLER man belong
ing to the party, or that is more honest, used
the following language:
when l first entered Congress, in 1884.
the expenses Of the government were only
$50, OOO, 900 per annum. The country has
gone through the expensive Mexic,n war
with sirty-thyee Monsamd soldiers in the field.
for $50, 900 900, and sop in time Of peace, the
estimates were seuenty-three millions! He
believed forty millions an abundance for the
national expense"
He believes forty millions to be ian album
dance for the national expenses" and yet he
admits they were t,oenty-three mWione above
that abundance" And now read the fol-
lowing from the Hon. Andrew johnson, one
Of the present Democratic State Senators
from Tennessee, a. to the manner in which
this vast sum Of money is disposed Of:
This government, sixty-nine years of age,
scarcely out Of its swaddling clothes, is max
ing more corrupt uses Of money, in proportion to
the amount collected from the people, as l
honestly believe, than any other government on
he habtabke GLOBE"
