torchlight display this evening is imposing
beyond description. They have been
marching around the State House and
thence to Mr.. Lincoln's residence for an
hour" The Douglasites here have been
taken with distressing collie.
- Senator Green of Missouri, made a
speech at St Joseph, recently, in which ne
came down on Douglas in the following
severe terms. Speaking for himself, he
said:
"He supported John G. Brock enridge
because he had never travelled up and down
the river on the decks of steamboat, ad-
vertising his own election to the Presidency !;
he had never descended into beer saloons,
and drank lager in order to gain popularity
with the vulgar rabble; he had never sent
hired letter-writers all over the country to
puff himself into notoriety, and cry down
everybody else he had never prostituted
the telegraph to sound his own praises
misrepresent every other prominent man
in the party and, finally, he supported
him because he was the only man who had
any chance of defeating Lincoln No
Southern State would, under any circum-
stances, cast her electoral vote for Douglas
and he didn't believe he could get sin
gle Northern State"
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1860-08-17
We quoted from the Chicago Her

- We quoted from the Chicago Herald
and Times last week, an extract to the eff
feet that the difference between the Brock
enridge and Douglas parties, is one of ssmen,
not measures" If any more proof is need
ed, we have it in the Missouri Republican,
which in late issue says:
''As Douglas and Breckenridge stand upon
the same platform in regard to the rights OF
Slavery Ill the Territories few thinking men
assert any preference for the latter On account
of his Southern citizenship, and there is, con-
sequently, nothing left to stimulate such prefer
ence.'
Both of these papers support Douglas
and are presumed to know what they are
talking about. We fail to discover any
difference in tho platform of the two can
didates. If there is any, it is in the round
about, circuitous manner in which Douglas
arrives at the same point made square1y
and pointedly by Breckenridge without any
attempt to hoodwink the people They
are both in favor Of carrying Slavery into
the Territories, and while Breckenridge
says SO plainly without lodging, Douglas
attempts to cover up his views with hon
led phrases and high-sou1ding words calcu-
lated to lead people astray, Breckenridge
is to be admired for his straightforward
ness, and Doug las despised for his duplicity.

The TOMATO AS FooD.-Dr. Bennett pro-
fessor Of some celebrity, considers the tomato
an invaluable article of diet, and ascribes to
it various important medical properties. First
that the tomato is one of tbs most powerful
aperients of the liver and other organs where
calomel is indicated, it is probably one of the
most effective and least harmful remedial
agents known to the profession. Second, that
a chemical extract will be Obtained from it
that will supersede calomelin the cure of dis
ease. Third, that he has successfully treated
diarrhea with this article alone. Fourth, that
when used as an article ofdiet it is an almost
sovereign remedy for dyspepsia and indiges'
ton. Fifth, that it should be constantly u.s.
ed for daily food, either cooked or raw, or in
the form Of catsup it is the most healthy arr
ticle now IL use.

Pennsylvania Politics.

A Philadelphia correspondent of the
New York World, gives what appears to be
an impartial review of the political parties
of that State, and the probable result of the
canvass. Of the Douglas faction he says ::
Douglas meetings are rare, for there is
no heart to go into the contest, and every
gathering only tends to widen the breach
made at Baltimore. Eminent Douglas
men in this city, recognizing the idea that
Pennsylvania will decide the contest, and
prompted by cordial hatred of the Admin
istration party, boldly avow their determin-
alton to vote for Lincoln rather than to
suffer the election to be thrown into the
House and thus secure the election ofGen.
10 Lane. Hickman has boldly gone over
to the Republican ranks Forney, some be-
lieve, will follow and it is pretty we'll es-
tablished that General Foster the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor of the State,
is DESTROYS of withdrawing frcen the canvass.
| have said that the friends of Mr.. Doug
las in Philadelphia were devoted to him,
but it is the devotion of shipwrecked
party, who when all hope is gone, clasp
hands and sink beneath the waves in each
other S embrace, rather than the enthuisas-
tic feeling of the devotees of rising polit-
ical star.

Mum is the Word.

The Chicago Tribune is exceedingly anx-
ious, and has been for some time, to get
its neighbor of the Times and Herald, to
print that delectable and interesting por
ton of Douglas 10th of May speech,
wherein he extols the virtues of Squatter
Sovereignty, and shows how it planted
Slavery in tract of Free Territory in New
Mexico, five times as large as the State Of
New York. " It also wants the Times and
Herald to print the resolution offered in
the Convention that nominated Douglas,
which its author, Gov. Wicklife, said would
sgive the ticket 10000 votes in Louisi-
ana" But the Times and Herald refuses
to publish them, although the Tribune has
offered to pay it the regular advertising
rates for their insertim..
We have, two or three times, asked our
neighbor down town to print the Wick
life resolution, so that his readers could
examine it, but be has not seen fit to COM
ply with our request. We do not think
he treats them fairly. Many CT his sub
scribers take no other paper than the
Democrat, and rely upon that as their po-
litical guide 1t is their right to be in
formed upon this subject, and to know ex-.
actly upon what kind of platform their
candidate is running. The editor of the
Democrat, therefore, owes it to them to
make ample reparation at once, for hay
ing neglected to discharge an. obligation
that clearly should have been attended to
long ago and he should supply the omis-
sion at the earliest practicable moment.
If the Democratic platform is all right,
there can be no improperly in his publish
ing it. If it is all wrong, he, Of course,
ought to give it publicity, so that people
who rely upon his paper for political infor-
nation, can act and vote Understandings.
There is not one in ten of the Democratic
papers in the state that ever published the
platform, or ever alluded to it. We sub
NIT that this is great insult to the gen.
tleman who erected it, and does not show
proper appreciation of thei; valuable SER
vices. This studied silence on the part Of
the Democratic press sominous. 1t shows,
we think, that ''there is something rotten
| in Denmark"

A London paper contains descrip-
ton of a tunnel now building under the
streets of London, for the purpose Of con-
Meeting the city by series of railways at
the North of the Thames. To have arail-
way after tee American fashion, passing
through densely populous district, and
crossing on a level and over-erowded thor
oughfare, was considered out Of the ques-
ton. Therefore, the plan was resorted to
of avoiding the surface altogether, leaving
that to the ordinary local traffic and travel,
and going entirely under the city with all
the passenger and freight trains. The tun-
mel was constructed by making an open cut
from the surface of the street down the dis
lance required, building the archway, and
then replacing the surface-a cheaper mode
than tunneling. The work has been con-
tracted for, and is now in progress. The
company engaged in it have capital of
| 81, 100000, in shares of $50 each.
To avoid any annoyance from smoke, OR
the combustion of fuel in the tunnel, the
traffic is to be worked by light locomotives
of novel and ingenious construction.
They have no fire box, but will be charged
with hot water and steam at certain
pressure, to be supplied by fixed boilers at
the termini, and will be furnished with a
large heater to assist in maintaining the re-
quired temperature. 1t is believed that
each locomotive can be supplied with power
sfficient to run the whole tunnel distance
The tunnel is expected to be finished nj
working order by 1862.

GREEEBUsn, July 81, 1860.
Douglas Oh both Sides.

There is nothing we SO much admire IL
q politician as consistency. Douglas great
hobby now is "Non-Intervention. He
says '.Let the people regulate their internal
affairs to suit themselves. If they want
slavery, let them have it. If they do not
want it, do not force it upon them" But
he has not always acted in accordance with
this doctrine. 1t is a ncwfangled notion,
and is as inconsistent with his previous
views as it is false in theory and unsatis'
factory in practice On the Goth of Dec.
1916, while joint resolution for the ad.
mission of Texas into the Union was pend.
ing, Mr.. Douglas offered the following
amendment:
s. And in such State or States as may be for
med out Of said Territory, north of said Nilsson
ri Compromise line, slavery, or involuntary ser
vitude Except for crime. shall be prohibited
United States Statutes at large.-l839-1645
P 798
Here, it will be observed, he is not only
in favor Of Intervention against slavery IL
the Territories, but he goes still further
and would cliuch the matter by prohibi
ting it from going there, eues IT the people
oeished 1t.
But this is not all: On the 10th o.
August, 1o49, when the bill establishing q
Territorial government for Oregon was be-
fore the Senate, Mr. Douglas offered ar
amendment similar to the one above quo
ted in the case of Texas, and the same was
adopted. The question then arises, il
Congress had the right to legislate in 1S4s
and 1S4S, on the subject of slavery in the
Territories, why has it not the right to dc
so in 1862? And as that has been the
policy of the Government for the last six
ty years, why should we depart from i
now? Is there any good reason? Can thu
advocates of q squatter Sovereignty" tell
- It is sometimes charged upon the Re
publican party that it is in favor of legis
lating slavery out Of the States where i
now exists The accusation is false ant
made only for the purpose Of deceiying,-
But even if it were true, we do not thinl
it any worse than the attempt to crust
Freedom in the Territories, which is nov
the policy of both wings of the Democracy
True, they have different methods of ac
compishing their nefarious designs, blu
the result at which they arrive is the SAM
in either case, Douglas says he ''don'
care whether slavery is voted up or votet
down" Breckenridge, being Southern
man, of course, would act with the South
and pander to the wants of the "peculia
institution" Hence Freedom has nothing
to expect from either of the Democrati
candidates.
