The republican party advocates Congressional inter

gressional Intervention protect slavery Tvs sine geo
non Bo,h positions are calculated and designed to
keep alive the slavery agitation. The Republicans car
red out their policy, far they had the power, by
voting for bill to prohibit slavery in the Territory Of
New Ne4ico-tbe Yanceyites backed down from their
policy by refusing vote protect slavery in Kansas
| The former are sncere-the latter are humbugging
But they are playing atO each others hands, and en-
dorsng each others candidates. For instance the Hon.
Joshua r. Giddngs, Black Republican says:
"As regards the two Democratic candidates, prefer
Breckinrdgc, because he is not much committed TO
/ slavery as Douglas IS Douglas is shareholder, and
Brecsiurdge is Hoi, and therefore prefer him."
And the Hon John Petit, of Indiara formerly Uni
ted States Senator from that State, and supporter Of
Breckenridge and Lane prefers the election Of Lincoln
TO that Of Mr. Douglas In letter advocating the policy
of forming an electoral ticket for Breckenridge and Lane

so rather than that Douglas should succeed. believe
that Lincoln more conservative aud sounder nation

speech Of Cassius H. Clay on the steps of the Capitol
Of Kentucky al Frankfort the 10Th Of January last,
Of course before the nomination Of Mr. Breckenridge.
/ He spoke as follows;

sented the American people by the Democracy, with
gard 10 the next Presidency, that would not see any
tha high position sooner than John @. Breek
/ inhdge Of Kentucky
That is put plainly, and in the downright style that
people usually employ when they what they say
E explains ITSELF and is perfectly Ineligible. We do not
propose 70 comment upon it. No comment ia judg-
meut is required Ia the above moss significant words
spoke Ca,sus NJ Clay the AboEdOnist, the ealumnator
Of Heury Clay on the 10Th of January 1860, from the
steps OF the capitol Of Kentucky in reference to John
Breckenridge and the Presidency.
CAssius NJ Clay has since that taken the stump in In
diana for Abraham Lincoln, as he did in 1874 against
Henry Clay. Well al Thin, in Ohio few weeks ago,
Casus N. Clay speaking for the Black Republicans and
Lincoln, used the following words;
"If Ne had the power would thousand times rath-
er pscs Breckenridge in the Presidential chair than
Douglas,
On the 10th Of January last he declared that there
no nan amoug the Democracy whom he would sooner
sec elected to the Presidency than John Breckenridge
aad after the nomination Of thar gentleman by the Seccs
sion wing Of the Democracy Cassus N. Clay declares
tt the Aboitouis,s and Republicans Of Ohio aud Of the
entire North and Yves, would tos,and tins, rather
place Breckenridge iu the Presidential chair than Doug
as!' "A thousand times rather!' That is remarkably
emphatic some would say eG'ravagant. lie evidently
means what he says. How admirably his speech at Tin
allies, in reference to Mr. Breckardg', with his speech
from the steps Of the Kentucky capitol in January last
So they go. Their ho5-no55ug Is as hearty as it is
significant Let tae people mark the sgns Of the times
