In viewofthese facts, what is the duty Of

against Lincoln? What is the duty Of ev-
cry Democrat in Ohio? Vote solid against
Lincoln. No Democrat in this State need
abandon his choice in favor of Brcckinridge
for the Presidency, for in Ohio that choice
amounts to nothing, nor is any Democrat re,
quired to surrender his opinion as to the
question of Territorial Government, and the
protection of property under the same. tits
more safe to refer these questions to Demo-
cratic authority than it is to hazard the in

would much prefer John c. Breckenridge
for President ofthe United States. like the
man his principles and his platform, believe
heis atrue patriots ndhighminded Statesman
and if elected President, that he would exert
his ability to preserve the Union and foster
the interests Of the country. But in Ohio he
cannot be elected; therefore I think it is the
best to vote solid against Lincoln. If we
pursue the same policy in Ohio that is adop-
ted in Pennsylvania, our cause will triumph
in November. Yours Truly,
S. W. ANDREWS.

Non-Intervention.

The Democratic party has ever
since 1848 advocated Non Interven-
ton by Congress with regard to
slavery in the States and Terrific
ries. Somuch trouble had the sub
ject occasioned in Congress that it
was thought proper to refer it to
the people of the Territories who
were to be affected by it for their
decision, with the understanding
that all new States should be adj
mitted into the Confederacy with
or witout slavery-that the tolera-
ton of slavery should be no bar to
their admission. The Baltimore
Convention in 1852 and the Gin
cinnati Convention in 1856 declar-
ed that Non-intervention was the
true doctrine and the people of the
United States endorsed that doc
trine by electing Pierce to the Pres
idency in 1852 and in 1856 by elect
ing Buchanan to the same distin-
guished office. Since then the doc
trine has worked wrong to no one,
nor is it likely to work wrong to
anyone. The Supreme Court of
the United States has decided that
Congress can not under the Consti-
tuition prohibit slavery in the Ter
ritories. Leading Republicans arc
not willing to yield obedience to
this decision ; they propose to treat
it as though it had never been
made. Lincoln, in one of his
speeches in Illinois two years ago,
declare ed that were he in Congress
and the question o fproviding gov
ernmcnt for a Territory should
come up, he would vote to prohib.
it slavery in it, in defiance of the
decision Of the Supreme Court Of
the United States. On the other
hand there are extreme men in the
South who insist that Congress
must intervene to protect slavery
To the doctrine of intervention for
the protection of slavery Breckin.
ridge and Lane are committed. Lin,
coin and Hamlin are committed t.
the doctrine of Intervention for tn,
prohibition ofslavery. There is no
; a Congressional district in a single
r Southern State in which a maj
could be elected to Congress pledg
ed to the doctrine of Intervention
for the prohibition of slavery in tn
y Territories and it is safe to sa,

Of the Supreme Court of the Unit

OF the Supreme Court OF the Unit
ed States and thereby ascertain
whether a Territorial Legislature
can exercise, constitutionally, any
such power. Should the Court de-
eide against the exercise Of such
power, there is an end of the ques-
ton. All "~unfriendly legislation"
would necessarily amount to moth
ing. On the other hand, should
Congress pass a slave Code for the
Territories, and the people of the
Territories should see proper to
contest the Constitutionality of the
Code, and the Court should decide
the Code unconstitutional, there
would be an end of it. 1t is a ju-
dicial question after all.
1t is very certain that if Lincoln
shall be elected President, the rights
of the South in the Territories will
not be respected, nor will there be
another slave State added to this
Union. This may not be all. The
Judges Of the Supreme Court ofthe
United States are exceedingly old,
and the probabilities are that it will
fall to his lot to reorganize the Su-
preme Court and should such prove
to be the case he will so organize ii
that slavery will be treated by it as
a moral wrong. He would updoubt'
eddy put some such men as Sumner
on the bench, who hold that under
the Constitution you can not have
property in man, and would, there,
fore, decide the institution of slav'
cry unconstitutional This is thu
peaceable way in which they pro
pose to abolish slavery. 1t is be
fitting that moderate men-con
sentative men-should conside
whether it is desirable that such
state of things should be Inaugural
ted. They have the powerto crusl
out ultraism and thereby insure tn
~perpetuity of the Union. 1t is 70
them to decide whether the doc
trine of Non-intervention by Con
gress touching the relation of Al
rican slavery shall be the rule 70

when advocating the adoption c
the Compromise measures by Con
gress, insisted that the true and SAT
doctrine for the disposition of tn
, irritating question of slavery, wa

ture time, of the doctrine of Non
intervention to the Territories

The malice of the Lincolnites
against the Bell men seems to be
almost fendish. There was alarge

as the train was leaving, the Re-
publicans threw stones through
the car windows, and injured sew

Starvation in Kansas Republican
Philanthropy.

The people of Kansas are in a
deplorable condition, owing to the
long continued drouth there, and
the consequent failure of the crops.
From a circular issued by the citi-
zcns of Big Springs, in that Terri
tory, we take the following para
graphs
"Our condition may be briefly
stated: We are without bread,
and without any means of obtain
ing it, for there is no money in the
country, as every dollar has been
absorbed in paying for our lands,
which were prematurely forced in
to market. There are many who
must perish, if relief is not afford
ed them, for the people generally
are in no better condition, as re-
CARDS clothing, than they are for
bread. Few, very few, have cloth
ing to protect them from the in
clemencies of the approaching VIM
ter, more especially fit should be
as severe as those four or five years
ago. And clothing cannot be pro-
cured without money, so that we
feel that we are making no exager-
ated statement when we say that
the combined effects of want and
exposure to cold in the enfeebled
condition induced by insufficient
food, must prove fatal to many.
