The foreign trade of the port for the week end
ing Yesterday was active, though not as large, in
respect to exports of specie, imports of foreign
merchandise, as the corresponding week of last
year. The arrivals from sea were few in number,
and this may in part account for the moderate i'm
port entries. Importers generally complain that
they are making no money, and this may, perhaps,
have had something to do with the lull in the i'm
portations. The following are the comparative

SO much for that fusion business.

STRANGE AssocIArIoS.-The Republican
platform of 1856, said:
"The Congress possesses sovereign power
over the Territories of the United States for
their government"
Senator Benjamin, of Louisiana, in his Sen.
ate speech of the 22d May, 1850, said:
"The Congress Of the United States has the
discretionary power of State in the Terri
tories. The Congress OF the United States
has the undoubted power to govern the Ter.
ritories, as they are called"
The Democratic party in 1856, said, "Con-
gress had not the power to govern the Terri
tories" and the Supreme Court has since
decided that the Democratic party was right,
that Congress had not that power. And it is
well for the South, says a Southern cotempo
rary, that such power is not given to Con-
gress by the Constitution, for, if such was
the case, the abolition majority in Congress
could, by exercising Discretionary power,
legislate slavery out of Territory, when the
people to be affected by it had legislated it
in.
Mr.. Benjamin is in strange company
strangely joined with Abolition Federalism
and he is a warm friend of Mr.. Yancey, and
supporter Of Mr.. Breckenridge, against Mr..
Douglas, for the Presidency. And that
speech of Mr.. Benjamin has gone in a strange
Notwithstanding by thousands in the
North in favor of Mr. Lincoln.

CLAIBORNE F. JAcksoS.-Tho Express Of

CLAIBORNE +. JAcKsoN.-The Express of
yesterday observes as follows:
Mr.. Jackson made a speech before the re-
cent Breckinridge State Convention in that
State, and is reported as having said
1--WE may differ in opinion upon a mere
question of fact, but the principles Of these
resolutions he pledged himselfhe would never
betray. He differed with Judge Douglas
upon the Territorial question. He had diff
fered with other candidates for whom he
had voted When the news OF the Baltimore
nominations reached him, he was in the
midst of warm contest lie had not seen
the official proceedings of the Convention
which nominated Judge Douglas; he has
not seen them yet. The proceedings were
meagre, and by telegraph and he relied upon
the statement Of a member of the Conven-
tion aud the facts before him. lie had a
high admiration Of Major Breckenridge, and
knew him TO be an honorable man and good
Democrat. He indorsed every resolution
in the platform upon which Breckenridge
and Lane stand. And as he said before,
would always defend them Major Breckin-
ridge was his preference He had said so at
the time and now repeats it. lie owed his
election to the supporters of both Breckin-
ridge and johnson, and some of whom he
saw in this Convention"
This is the man whose election the Doug
las men claimed as a triumph for their party.
There is nothing in the above speech to in
dicate that Gov. jackson is not going to sup
port Douglas now. There is nothing to indi-
cate that he does not now regard Douglas as
the regular nominee Of the party. For our
part we believe he intends TO vote for Doug
las.
Daily national Democrat., 1860-10-12

That Fusion IN OREGoN.-It seems from
the statements Of various papers in Oregon,
that the fusionists offered to 90 with the
Breckinridgers for Nesmith and any other
man they might name, out of their own
ranks, saving and excepting Delazon Smith
and the Breckenridge men refused Under
this state of things, the fusonsts voted for
Baker. So, the Breckenridge men, refusing
to unite against Republican, secured his
election Furthermore, Col Baker had
avowed popular sovereignty notions.
The contest in Oregon had been a Lane
and Anti-Lane contest. Those men (not Re-
publicans) who voted for Baker were simply
Anti-Lane men who had been elected by an
Anti-Lane clement in Oregon. They were
not properly called Democrats. They were
fasionists, and as such they voted for Baker.
The Douglas and johnson Democracy had
nothing to do with it, and are in no wise
responsible. Those gentlemen in the Legis-
lature who had given their adhesion to Doug.
las and Johnson, were Colby, Kelly and
Williams of the Senate, and Gibbs and
Trenchary in the House, and these men, as
Douglas and Johnson Democrats, eotcd against
Baker.
So much for that fusion business.

The Inconsistency of the Breckinridge
Party.

Party.
The leaders Of that party say that Mr.
Douglas was not regularly nominated, and
that he did not get two thirds vote Yet
they acknowledge that he received 1914
votes, greatly more than two thirds of the
vote given, and that he was then afterwards
declared the unanimous nominee, no voice in
tie Convention dissenting. They declare he
is not the regular nominee, Notwithstanding
he received more votes than nominated Cass
in lS4S, and more votes than nominated Bu-
chanan in 1856.
They say further that there being no reg
ular nominee, Democrats are at liberty to
vote either for breckenridge or Douglas. Mr.
Buchanan says this and yet he decapitates
every office holder who dares ayow himself
for Douglas. Mr.. Richardson recently stated
in a speech in Illinois, that ofiice-holders in
that State who declared for Douglas were
Immediately cut off from their positions,
while those who declared for Lincoln were
let alone. This kind of preference for Re-
publicans over true Democrats has been a
Characteristic of the present Administration,
ever since its first difference with Mr.. Doug
las And yet, while the Buchanan press
have been inaustriously and falsely charging
frec-souism upon the Douglas party, their
own sympathy, or the sympathy of the Adj
ministratiou which they support, with the
Republican party has been practically dem
onstrated by the retention of men in office
who have openly proclaimed their intention
to vote for Lincoln.
They say they are in favor of protection
to slave property in the Territories, and yet
they refuse to pass any law for its protec-
tion. They are opposed to Territorial soy.
ereignty, and yet, when they have an oppor-
tunity to repeal the laws of Kansas recently
passed against slavery, they refuse to lift a
finger to intervene. They acknowledge by
their own action on a test question that
Douglass doctrine of on-Intervention is
correct, and yet continuously raise how
against him for declaring that they ought
not to do that very thing which they them
selves refuse to do when they have the OPP
portunity. Was there ever more damnabl,
inconsistency?
The whole truth Of the matter Is that th
fight of theirs is not for a principle at all
but simply personal war upon Mr.. Douglas
Enyious Of his great name and popularity
and hating him because he stands in the wa
of lesser lights who cannot shine save in HI
eclipse, they are determined to put hiI
down. if they have to break up the Dem,
cratic party and the Union itself in doin
it.
One of their candidates for Elector recen
ly said (as per report of several of the interio
papers, that he would not have supporte
Douglas had he been the unanimous nom
+ nee of the entire Convention of the party
without any split at all. No doubt, that
the sentiment of most of the Breckinridg
party. They recognize no Obligations t
Democratic usage. They care nothing fo
the precedents of the party. They simpl
hate Douglas, and that is the sum total {
their principles.

WE notice the following item in the Bull
ietin's correspondence:
VIM. i. Yaneey made speech in Wash
ington lately, at a complimentary serenade
rendered him. a good deal of anxiety was
manifested to hear him, as it was well known
that the question as to what he would do if
Lincoln was elected, was propounded to him
in advance of the speech. In his speech he
stated that the South would expect no pro-
lection from Republican Administration,
and that John Brown raids would go unre-
strained. He added that when the South
was laid waste and desolated by the acts of
such an Administration he need not answer
what she would do. SO direct an evasion of
this most pertinent question is the subject of
much animadyersion, and from Breckinridge's
and Yaneey's silence it is inferred that they
are the ayowed advocates Of disunion in the
event Of Lineoln's election.

No DOUGLAS PARTY IN ARKAXsAs.-The
New York Day Book says
''There is no Douglas party in Arkansas.
Rust and Flournoy compose about all the ad-
herents that Mr.. Douglas can boast of in the
State"
The New York Day Book knows about as
much of the politics of Arkansas as he cares
for our southern institutions, and that is very
little, or he would not labor ardeptly for the
promotion of Lincoln to the Presidency, by
dividing the Democratic strength which
could defeat him, if united upon Douglas and
johnson.
If the Day Book means: no Administra-
tion party in Arkansas for Douglas, W. admit
it, But there is Democratic party here,
recognizing Douglas and johnson as the true
exponents Of Democratic principles, and as
the regular nominees of the party. This
party is composed of the people, who bid de-
tiance to Federal despotism, and Republican
tricksters who "steaI the livery of Democra
ey to serve Abe Lincoln in. "-A rkGHSaS Ma

Cor MORE THAN WAS ED FoR.-A Douglas
man, with more whiskey in his head than
he ought to have had, says the S. f. Call,
proclaimed in the midst Of large assem-
blage, on the corner of Montgomery and
Washington streets, the other night, that he
didn't believe there was Breckinridge man
in the crowd. No one answering the chal-
lenge, for, perhaps, the good reason that the
mans belief was correct, u Douglas Democrat
stepped up to him in a spirit of fun, and ac-
knowledged himself a Breckenridge man,
whereupon the challenger gave him an un-
expected "wiper" from the extended muscle
OF his right arm. This salutation to his
avowal so irritated the assumed Dreckin-
ridger, that he lost sight Of the fun, and re
turned the compliment with interest upon
the nssailant, and which sent him spinning
into the street. Thus, both got more than
they bid for in the matter and which will
be a lesson to them for the future.

The Missouri TRIUMpH Under this head

The Douglas papers have gone almost into

Breckinridge State Convention at jefferson,

So! We are called upon to admire polit.
ical trickster as a wonderfully fine Breckih-
ridge man. lie cheats Douglas men out o
their votes, and becomes a hero in the esti-
nation of Breckenridge partisans at once. l

went for Douglas.
The Sacramento Union has the following
sensible observations concerning the report
The Governor elect of Missouri, it is an
nounced, lately addressed a Breclinridg
Convention, and declared that Breckinridg
was his personal choice for President. This
we think, he stated during the canvass TO

the regular nominee, and that as Democra

ment in relation to c. F. jackson proves true

pocrisy unparalleled in the history of Ameri

1t will be seen that the statement tina

the right to do SO.

neatr 1Gs IN fapor Of as A. Douglas
Senate speech, 1858 und 1850.
PorULAE SOVEREIGNTY, IS the exercise ofself
government by bona fde citizens of State
or Territory, where organized government
does exist, and legislative powers have been
granted. And self-government is the act OF
making laws to suit ourselves-iust so they
don't conflict with the Constitution. Federal
government is just the opposite; and pro-
poses that Congress shall legisate for us,
whether it suits us or not. Mr.. Douglas is
in favor of Popular Sovereignty and go was
everybody else in 1856, except the Aboli-
tionists, Federalists and Disunionists.
If self-government was Constitutional
right in 1856, it is the same in lS60-there
has been no change in the Constitution. If
it was good Democracy then it is the same
