Mr.. EDITOR : In the Journal of Wednes-
day is a very characteristic article, and
one true to the system of lie and deny which
the Douglas leaders appear to have adopted
as their rule for this campaign. The Jour
nal speaks of the Ordinance of 1887, as
mentioned by a correspondent of the Ex
press, and is vile enough to leave the i'm
pression that the Ordinance of 81 is un-
constitutional and of no force, because it
was adopted previous 10 the Constitution.
Every schoolboy in politics knows that
the Ordinance was passed by the Congress
before the adoption of the Constitution,
and all well meaning, candid men, will see
that the Journal was not honest enough To
say that among the first acts of Congress
under the Constitution, was one to enforce
the Ordinance of 1887, prohibiting slavery
IN the North Western Territory. The bill
for this act was reported by Thomas Fitz
simmons, one of the signers Of the Consti-
tuition. The bill passed through all its
stages without word of opposition, and
finally passed both branches without yeas
and nays, which is equivalent to a unani-
nous passage. The bill was signed by
GEORGE WASHINGTON, as President of the
United States thus completing its validity
and showing that in his understanding
there was nothing in the Constitution
which forbade the Federal Government to
control as to slavery in the Federal terri
tory.


The Journal has the audacity to use the
word "deceptiOn" in a reprehensible sense,
when the whole strength, force and gist of
the Douglas faction in this campaign is
deception" They permit their followers
TO believe that Douglas is in favor of al
lowing the people of Territory to regulate
their domestic institutions in their own
way. while he is pledged to the decisions
of the Supreme Court annihilating the
right of the people of Territory to any ex
preston against slavery


Douglas himself. under the deception
of going to see his mother, is travelling
over the country begging TO be permitted
to sit in the seat once occupied by Wash
ibgtOu but the sublimest deception" is
that of any body supposing Douglas has
the ghost Of show for the Presidency.

Correspondence to the New York Tribune.


AUGUSTA, Maine, Aug. l8, 1860.


Judge Douglas, when he was here on
Thursday last, declared with strong en-
phasis that. as a National candidate for
the Presidency he had no opinions to con-
ceal, none but he was willing to ayow in
any part of the Union. a very respectable
citizen of this place who was invited TO a
seat on the stand with him, put into his
band the following question, which he
was most respectfully requested to answer
in the course of his remarks. The Judge
on receiving it tit was before he rose to
speak, read it very attentively, and, resu-
ming his conversation with the gentleman
who offered it, respectfully acquiesced in
the propriety of the question, aud promised
to reply to it In the course of his speech

oblige a fellow citizen by stating before
the people here assembled his answer to
the following

A Lendon paper contains a description
of tunnel now building under the streets
of London, for the purpose Of connecting
the city with a series of railroads at the
North of the Thames. To have railway
after the American fashion, passing through
densely populated district, and crossing
on a level and over crowded thoroughfares,
was considered out of the question. Their
fore, 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 passen-
ger and freight trains. The tunnel was
constructed by making an opeucut from the
surface of the street down the distance re-
quired, building the archway, and the re-
placing the surface cheaper mode than
tunneling. The work has been contracted
for and is now in progress. The company
engaged in it have capital of $4,25O,-
600, in shares of $50 each.


To avoid any annoyance from smoke, or
the combustion of fuel in the tunnel, the
train is to be worked by light locomo-
tives of novel and ingenious construction.
They have no fire-box, but will be charged
with hot water and steam to a certain pres
sure, to be supplied by fixed boilers ut the
termini, and will be furnished with a large
heater to assist in maintaining the required
temperature. 1t believed tba: each loco
motive can be supplied with power sufi-
cient to run the whole tunnel distance
The tunnel is expected to be finished in
working order by 1862.

BRECKINRIDGE's RECoRD.-The Louisville
Journal cites the following against Breck-

In lS49, when delegates were to be elect
ed 10 the State Convention to make a new
constitution for Kentucky the question of
negro emancipation was the chief topic Of
discussion, and Mr.. Breckinridge, as we are
informed, cast his vote for an emancipation
candidate. A little before that time, the
question of the Presidency being before the
country, he was the leading spirit of "a meet.
ing which strongly recommended that the
Democratic party as well as the Whig party
should be utterly ignored and put down by
the American people. In 1855 he put forth
the public declaration that considerations of
firth and sect ought to have their weight at
the ballot-boXes. In 1856 he eXpounded
and enforced the doctrine of squatter sove-
reignty as zealOusly as any disciple of Mr..
Douglas has ever done. Aud now, in 1860,
uniting with other factious spirits in "a re-
bellion against the will and the usages of
the Democratic party, he has accepted a
sectional nomination for the Presidency and
committed himself to the guidance of a set
of traitors, who for years past have cared
nothing for the Democratic party, except
so far as they thought they could use it to
effect the dissolution of the Union.

HON. j. M. JAYNE Chairman, dc. Dear
Sir: regret very much to be compelled to
put at the disposal of the Central Committee
the place / now occupy on the Democratic
Electoral ticket. Considering the fattering
manner in which this position was conferred
on me by the State Convention, feel that
nothing but the existence of circumstances of
the most imperative character could justify
me in withdrawing from its labors and re-
sponsibilities. Such circumstances, however
do exist, and they totally preclude me from
any active participation in the canvass. do
not stop to inquire whether canvass of the
State by the electors viii be required or ex-
pected. 1t is not proper for me to remain in
a position the usual duties of which I am un-
able to discharge.


In thus resigning my place on the Electoral
ticket, it is right that / should say that /
cordially approve the course pursued by the
Representatives of the Southern Democracy
in the National Convention, and that shall
give cheerful and earnest support to the
nominees for President and Vice President
whom they have concurred in presenting for
the suffrages of the American people.


Very truly, yours, &C.,
