ENRY ALTMAN, Chairman, 7th Judicial District.
The Pennsylvania Election Ticket.

1t is with feelings of pleasure tina,
we discover strong disposition maifest
ed on the part Of majority of the De-
mocracy of Pennsylvania to form a
joint electoral ticket with the Breckin.
ridge wing. We believe this to be the
true policy in Pennsylvania and else
where. We say this now-we have
said it before, and shall say it again
Notwithstanding the Washington Com.
mittee have declared to the contrary
notwithstan ling the Democratic State
Convention at Des Moines passed reso-
lutions denouncing such course. Those
who hold contrary opinions are entitled
to them.
In Pennsylvania it is highly probable
almost certain that with united
front-with joint electoral ticket the
Democracy can sweep the State, from
eud to end and it is also certain that
with divided front the twenty-seven
electoral votes of the Keystone State
will be cast for Lincoln. This may be
taken as granted.
With such view of the case is it
not highly important that the Democ-
racy of Pennsylvania should work hand
in hand! tits not only possible but
highly probable that upon the vote of
Pennsylvania the defeat or success of
Lincoln will hinge,and consequently the
defeat or success of the Democratic
party. If Lincoln loses Pennsylvania
he fails to be elected if by any means
the Democracy can gain Pennsylvania,
success is certain. 1t is then matter
OF the greatest importanee-tbe most
intense moment that every Democrat in
that State vote for the same set of cleo
tors. To our mind, to the mind of any
one who has taken pains to examine the
matter, there is no question as to who
would receive the electoral vote. Mr..
Douglas would surely have it; and with
that vote taken in connection with the
majorities he will receive in the South
and Northwest, his triumphant election
will be secured.
To Iowa also portion OF the same
reasoning is adaptable. Iowa might
not turn the scale, but with an un-
broken Democratic front it is possible
that she may be wrested from the hands
Of the Opposition. There may be bit.
ter opposition to such movement, but
our honest convictions are that it 10 tho
best-the only safe course to pursue.

EXTRA CT FROM MIR. BRECKINRIDGE'S
 FRANKFORT SPEECH, LAST DECEM-

EXTRACT FROM MIR. BRECKINRIDGE'S FRANKFORT SPEECH, LAST DECEM- BER.
 Mr. Breckinridge has been speaking of the Dred Scott decision, and continues as follows:
 We'll, that being the case, and it having been authoritatively determined by the very tribunal to which it was referred, that Con gress had no power to exclude slave property from the Territories, and udicialy determ-
 ined that the Territorial Legislatures-au- thorities created by Congress-had not the power to exclude or confscate slave property, confess that had not anticipated that the doctrine of friendly legislation would be set up. Hence, need not say to you that do not believe in the doctrine of unfriendly leg isiation; that do not believe in the authority of Territorial Legislatures to do by indirection
 what they cannot do directly. repose upon the decision of the Supreme Court of the Uni ted States, as to the point that neither Con gress nor the Territorial Legislature has the right to obstruct or confscate the property of
 any citizen, slaves included, pending the Ter
 ritorial condition. Applause. do not see any escape from that decision, if you admit that the question was a judicial
 one, if you admit the decision of the Supreme Court, and if you stand by the decision of the highest Count of the country -----,
 The Supreme Court seems to have recogniz
 ed it as duty of the Courts of the Union, in
 their proper sphere, to execute this Constitu- tional right, thus adjudicated by the Supreme | Court in the following language. In speak ing of the acquisition of territory, they pro- | nounce it political question for Congress to
 determine what Territories they may acquire,
 and how many. Now mark the words of the | Court.
 | [Here follows a quotation from the de- cision.l
 So that in regard to slave property, as in
 regard to any other property recognized and
 guaranteed by the Constitution, it is the duty, | according to the Supreme Court, of all the Courts of the country, to protect and guard it | by their decision whenever the question is
 brought before them. To which l only add,
 that the judicial decisions in our favor must
 be maintained--those judicial decisions must
 be sustained. Applause.
 If present remedies are adequate to sustain
 these decisions, would have nothing more
 done. l with many other public men in the
 country, believe they are adequate. If they
 are not-if they cannot be enforced for the
 want of proper legislation to enforce them,
 sufficient legislation must be passed. or our
 Government is failure. Applause ] Gen.
 tlemen, see no escape from that conclusion.
