Breckenridge on the Stump,

The Louisville (Ky.) Journal of recent date
has the following, from which it will be seen,
that Breckenridge was making speeches at
Barbecues in that State and has not an
swered the questions as to what he would do
should an attempt be made by any of the
States to seeede from the Union in the event
of the election of Lincoln:
We stated on Wednesday upon the author
ity of letters from Mt. Sterling, that John G.
Breckenridge, accompanied by James b. Cav
and John NJ. Elliott etc.. had slipped in that
town on Sunday last on his way to the w est
Liberty meeting and barbecue And now we
learn that Breckenridge, with his men CLAY.
Elliott, etc. attended the barbecue at West
Liberty and made speech at Owingsville
the next day The two speeches were dilu -
tions OF the one at Lexington. This skulking
off into the hills upon speaking tour with
out the knowledge Of the public and with the
knowledge Of less than one in twenty of his
own friends was a sneaking piece of business
which John c. Breckenridge would have
scorned to be guilty of six months ago. He
has fallen into miserable hands, and it is easv.
though painful, to see what they are making
of him.
The meeting at Owingsvile listened re-
sspectfully to Mr.. Breckenridge, but when
James b. Clay arose afterwards, and began
TRADE of violent denunciaton against his
opponents, the efforts of John c. Mason were
necessary to induce the meeting to let him
proceed. In recording this fact we cannot
help thinking of the honors, almost akin TO
idolatry, which we saw rendered more than
thirty years ago to Henry Clay in the very
village where the recreant son cannot speak
but by the favor of political opponent. AT
Owingsville, the two Norfolk questions, which
Mr. Breckenridge stands pledged by the head
OF his Virginia electoral ticket to answer,
were handed in writing to James B. Clay
with the request that he would give them to
Mr. Breckinridge Mr.. Clay however, re-
fused positively to give them to him. He
would not let them go to his candidate at all.
lie suppressed them. In this he of coarse
acted in accordance with a previous under
standing. We have candidate asking the
people of the United States to elect him to
the Presidency, and mounting stump after
stump for the avowed purpose Of making his
opinions understood upon the subject of dis
union, and yet obstinately aud doggedy re-
fusing to say whether he is or is not for dis
union in an event that he and his friends no.
torlousy expect to occur within few DAYS,
and keeping an individual along with him.
half companion and half bottle holder. to
smother the questions in deep, dark pocke ct
whenever an attempt is made to get respon-
ses to them. All this is shameful and COW
ardly to the last degree.

MIssouRI.-A citizen of Missouri, and a
well informed man, writes as follows TO the
Philadelphia Press:
We did wonders, electing our whole State
ticket 10y handsome majority, notwithstand-
ing we had apparently good ground for be-
lieving that our candidate for Governor
would be defeated, by union of the Repub
liean and Opposition parties upon the candi.
date OF the latter, and the detection of the
renegade Boilers from our nominee We
beat them nevertheless. The vote for Gov.
ernor may form pretty good index to that
for President 1t was in round numbers
Democratic, $4,000; Opposition, $4,000
Boilers, 10000 and Republican 6 800 The
Republicans may poll $4,000 votes for Presi-
dent-they claim much more This will re-
duce the Opposition, (allowing the aggregate
votes to be the same as in August to AZ :
500. Should the Boilers secure 20, 600 votes.
in addition to the 10000, in August, this
would give them 32 000-a most improbable
number-and reduce that of the Democracy
to 55.00O This will approximate, have no
doubt, to the true state of parties here. As
well-informed men as we have in Missouri
assure me we shall do better than this.

Nor WoRTH A CENT-The Columbus (Ga. J
Corner Stone supports Breckenridge; yet. in
speaking of the withdrawal of some of the
delegates from the Charleston Convention. it
pronounced their action "a very foolish
thing" and said, that the protection plank
which the Southern delegates claimed, would
not be worth a cent if they had it. The only
effect it could have would be to embarrass
their candidate at the North, for there is no
man who believes that any such law can be
passed by Congress, even even if it was in
the PLATFORM, and the President elected upon
It,"

ELoouESr-Herschel V. johnson is an ell
oquent man. His presence is commanding,
his height being six feet, and be is powerfully
built. So much for his personnel AS for
his style of speaking, the following is a spec
linen from his great speech in Philadel phia,
in September last
Now, fellow citizens, what is this doctrine
of non Intervention? Let us examine it. and
see whether it is so odious that any BODY
North or South can reasonably protest
against it. What is it? Simply that the
people of an organized Territory shall exer-
else the right OF seIf-government within the
limitations Of tie Constitution of the United
States That is the sum and substance of
Douglas doctrine of popular sovereignty.-
Applause. You have heard that he was in
favor OF squatter sovereignty. 1t is untrue
There is no man in this Republic with sense
enough to be the leader ola flock of geese,
who is in favor of squatter sovereignty. 1t
is an absurdty; but the principle of popular
sovereignty, that the people of Territory
have the right to exercise the power of self
government within the Limitation of the Con-
sttution of the United States, is built upon a
rock, and the winds of heaven cannot shake

Does any body here object to it? TNol1
Does any breckenridge man object to it?-
There are none here. Is there any Black
Republican who objects to it2 want to
see that white man, claiming to be an Amer
lean citizen, native born or foreign, who will
stand up in the face of free people and say
that free white men have not the right OF
self government. (Appause) Yet the Se-
cession party holds that the moment a man
reaches the boundary of Territory, and
passes the limit ola State this principle of
self government is stripped from him, as the
blacksnake casts his skin in the spring of the
year. Laughter and applause We con-
tend that he cannot shed it; that it is not an
outside garment, but something that is with
in him, and part of the essence OF his soul. 1t
was purchased for us by the blood of our
Revolutionary ancestors, and there is no man
so high, though he be as rich as Croesus and
surrounded with every luxury, who can rise
above it, and no man SO humble, though he
be clothed in rags, and, like the Son of Man,
have not the wherewithal to shelter himself,
who can sink below it. tremendous ap-

new qualities of usefulness, and according to
the Scientific American, accomplished an en-

er to the subject of his Improvements:
On page 274 of Vol l. NEW series Seien-

telegraphing, invented by Dr. l.. Brady now
of this city, by which faom 10000 to 5000
words per hour could be transmitted, in place
of 800 or 1000, which had been the previ-
Gus limit On applying this apparatus to long
circuits, however, Dr. Brady found a limit to
the rapidity in the action ofthe relay magnet,
and he has since been engaged in improving
this part Of his telegraphic apparatus. de
has now relay which will enable him to
transmit 10000 words per hours. He has
also connected this relay with an improved
sounding apparatus, which enables him to
dispense with the local circuits rthose who
read by sounds. A full illustration of this
great invention will appear in our next issue.

BREcKINRIDGE AND THOSE QUEsTIoNs-The
Louisville Journal has the following:

Louisville Journal has the following:
Our friends of the Frankfort Common

rie of the ovine family, which we fear will
not have the effect TO bring out an answ er
to the Norfolk questions from Mr. Breckin
ridge. He should respond aba aa re-
spouse TO Lamb would be more decorous than
none. 1t is not fair to saddle Douglas with
queries, and make him dish up chops of in
exorable logic, while the Vice President re-
fuses to be RECALLED on lambs fry. 1t is clear
that Mr.. Buchanan is no lamb kim but he is
rather "a tainted weather of the flock" and
ought to be ashamed to look sheep in the
face again, and we are certain that he will
handle any commission very gingerly, which
may be written out on sheep skin parchment
Such tallow-faced statesmen do not suet our

Lambs wits must have been wool gathering

from precedent and Constitutional right that

Major K. ?. Hammond The Court House
was filled to overlooking, and about twenty
hve ladies graced the assemblage with their
presence.
Governor Downey was first called for, and
his reception was most convincing as to the
deep hold he has upon the esteem and better
feelings of the people of Placer. The Cover
nor Is no orator, but in a plain, unvarnished
manner, he gave the reasons for the faith

couraged them by reference to the good
news which he is constantly receiving from
all parts of the State. lie says that Doug

heard. His expose of the forced construction
of the decision in the Dred Scott case, by
the secessionists, to support and Justify them
IN their Abandonment of the Democratic
creed and organization extorted the admira.
ton of his auditors.
Gen. Denver reviewed the position of the
party, both in the State and Nation, for the
last twelve years, upon the question of non
intervention proving it to be now precisely
what it has been at any and all times since
lS4S, in speech of about three quarters of
an hour, alter which Major Hammond was
called upon, and, in a speech of an hour,
completely refuted every objection made by
the seceders against the regularity of the
nomination of stephen A. Douglas; exposed
the hostility OF Breckenridge to the real and
great interests of California, and demonstra-
ed the devotion of Douglas to the same.
The Signal adds that at the close of Major
Hammond's speech, Gov. Downey was again
called for. He avowed it to be the duty of
Democrats to stand by, at such timeas this,
the organization, to its strictest rule declared
that the boilers would soon be glad to come
back into the party, and would come back as
soon as they had done due penance for their
heresy. His remarks were loudly applauded.
The assemblage adjourned with three cheers
for Douglas and Johoson, three for Governor
Downey, and three for the ladies.
