POLITICAL.
MR.. DOUGLAS AT NORFOLK
The Norfolk Herald gives the following synopsis
of the speech delivered by Mr.. Douglas in that city
on Saturday night last:
Mr.. Douglas entered fully into the discussion Of
the principle of non-in terventon by Congress with
the local affairs of the territories-that CONGRESS-
could not legslate slavery into territories where it
was Improbable, nor legislate it out of those in
which it was profitable. He believed that the peo
pie OF this country free to govern themselves
and make their own laws-if they should make bad
laws they must suffer the consequences until they

confer. He had derived his Democratic principIcs
from the Virginia school, and he still held those
principles. The seceders from the Convention
which nominated him, had in 1852 subscribed to the
principle OF non-lntervention contained in the
compromise measures of 1850. Now, however,
they were acting with the abolitiOniStS and like
pair of shears, congressional intervention being the
pivot were cutting in the same direction but from
aTstS eianst was s;s ss On tins sut,ft Southern
of the country Northern aboitionist
He said that this was his first visit to this CITY,
and he had just been handed slip from newspa-
per IN which two questions had been propounded
to him, and although he felt under no obligation
under the circumstances, to do so still he would an
swer them, but claimed at the same time that they
should also be put to the candidate of the ssion
lists and answered by him. These questions were ::
"lf Abraham Lincoln be elected President of the
States, he instif cd
in seeding from the Union?
"lfthey secede from the Union upon the inaugu-
ration OF Abraham Lincoln, before he commits an
overt act against their Constitutional rights will
you advise or yndicate resist ance by force to their
secession ?"
He emphaticalIy and unhesitatingly responded
to the first in the negative. In regard to the Sec
Ond, he frankly declared that he would counsel the
adoption of precisely such measures as were taken
| by sold Hickory" in the case of the South Caro-
lima nullifiers. The right of revolution he fully
recognised, but would recommend it only as
last resort from oppression and to be appealed to
after every other of redress should fail and
when the oppression became more intolerable than
| the consequences of revolution.

LETTER FROM SENATOR HAMMOND.
| The following letter from Senator Hammond was
written in reply to an invitation to attend the late
political gathering at Williamson:
REDoLIrF, August 5, 1850.
| have had the pleasure of a somewhat intimate
acquaintance with the Vice President and General
Lane during the last three sessions of Congress,
and while / deem them eminenty qualified for the
exalted positions for which they have been named,
| do not believe that any two men could be found
in America who would so promptly, and without a
second thought lay down their lives If needed, for
| the preservation of the Union. | confess l am my
| self very far behind them in that particular. In
my humble judgment every vote given to them is a
vote for the Union, and every vote given to any
other candidate in the field is, whether intended or
not, vote against the Union. And it is to me
passing strange, that, while every sensible man in
this country must know that the election of Mr..
Lincoln will put the Union in imminent and instant
hazard, and that neither Mr.. Bell Mr. Douglas
| can lay claim to one single authenticated and as
| sured electoral vote, any Southern man, or any
Northern, Eastern or Western patriot, should,
| under any pretence, withhold his ardent support
from the only men who, in this greatest of ali the
crises which our country has known since the
adoption of the constitution, can, under the cir
cumstances, prolong, and perhaps make permanent
| this cOnfederacy. | cannot help believing that
they will be elected 1t is the next best step, for
| the ef ph Auory.hing but pria9ipie
should be sacrificed.
! Very truly yours, j. H. HAMMOND.
