Krum s District. If there is a single Blunder omitted in that report it is an oversight Krum could certainly have supplied it.

Motion Ira a the Conven i a a a f a my a. Douglas acceptance of the nomination because it had been made without any Agency interference or procurement on his part is thus happily satirized by Liis Graceil. Young orator this is handsome. Since the Brave old Pagan Days of Rome when the conscript lathers made patriotism immortal we have not had a More striking instance of disinterested self sacrifice. Evidently the senator stands alone. Modern degeneracy has not reached him. It was vulgarly supposed that or. Douglas nomination was the Resu to of ten years of solicitation and intrigue an unlimited Sale of to. Lotical indulge ties and Post obits an attentive forgetfulness of former porn Ples Anil an Collius Maslic insincerity in Lulu re , assisted by a Liberal exhibition of Belmont and but this of course roust be an error Ali web it is to be regretted however has become so popular and Irr amicable in the american mind. The Only wonder is How in these Days of presidential , when so Many bold bad men Are devoting All their unhallowed ene. Gies to the attainment of that High Honor ii should have been thrust a or. Miles tay lbs cd leagues object also of the Maior Ify reports too a vague a cd pea tedious and exacting critics they demand something succinct Clear Anil pointed like the Vic Klitte Resolution for instance a Fine Mac Flenoe production to which no human ingenuity gave two meanings or one. A a a a a in he eloquent tribute to Yancey seemed to come from the heart of the fiery Young speaker was received with loud App use. In was quite cheering and inspiring to hear the Gallant Southern Prex Chevalier Iio greeted in an extreme Northern comic Unity. Heie is what or Fitch said of or if the do Gla Sites have Little argument it must be granted they have a fecundity of epithets. Ont of the serious malediction conclusive al once of the original purity of the Douglas ticket and the actual sin of the Breckinridge a nomination. Is the charge that we Are Yancey ies. In Liat May or May not be Olte Sivc. Let us see. The Best reason adorned with the highest Cleu cute a courage to meet All Comers in the political Field and skill to confound them Eminence by Universal Concession foresight daring in emotion irreproachable in private life reliant adventurous everywhere Means simply w. L. Yancey. These Are trails admired by All men. With the personal prefer Niees of or. Yancey and intense Southern of lotions we have nothing to do and he who will has forgotten his own . With Yancey a sincerity Douglas might be trusted with Yancey a attainments Douglas would be an ornament to the is Enate with Yancey a sagacity Douglas would not now occupy a which while it destroys his past forever obliterates his Holt is for the future. On the whole we have no particular objection to the title of in Bis vilification of Breckinridge or. Fitch thus refers to the charge of Kivow Noti Ngisha against the Gallant kentuckian in he last charge brought against or. Breckinridge is that he affiliated with the . The charge originated in a Letier from a or. John Savage to Hon. Henry a. We ise. As it is not to be expected of course that any of you heard of or. Savage before it May be As Well to remark that his name docs him great injustice. He is a very harmless in offensive Little gentleman whom the Public has always treated with generous neglect. He is the author of one tragedy Ihal was read and damned and one Book that was damned without being read. Or. Savage it seems is now worrying his tender intellect with politics. It is the old Story of Penelope a suitors tugging at the Bow of Ulysses. The entire for the charge against or. Breckinridge is contained in a statement made by Biro ill a Public speech that he a would rather for one of his own countrymen than a foreigner All other things being .s is certainly a very grave of sense considering that in the very next sentence he denounced the know nothing organization upon High moral and constitutional grounds. I am afraid a foreigner one of or. Savages own class an irishman for instance for one of his own countrymen in preference to anybody else a fall other things being equal a a or unequal. It must be a mistake about their doing such thin. If that be know nothing ism then make of it. There is much More in that speech which is worthy to be reproduced and read by All southerners and by All who have a taste for wit keen satire and Fine rhetoric. We have Only room for one More extract in which or. Douglass new England tour is admirably served up where is or. Douglas now ? re i Rushing his recollection of american history at the base of Bunker Hill under the escort of that Little coterie of gentlemen who compose the Douglas democracy of Massachusetts endeavouring to gather sonic of the dust of Webster upon Liis shoes and trying like a Dull tourist to grow eloquent from association relieving College exercises from the wearisome elegance of classic recitation by the inelegant weariness of Bis distinguish cd platitudes of self government divulging to astonished Savans in the shades of support their nominees though it was Man distinguished As a scholar or is i against your will. He said emphatic to amiable As a citizen he has never been aet la a a mis a a a Nwa a a Makaaa of m a i t Imok a Waka a Ete Oklet a la Obi a amok a a a Blak a a Arv upon so unobtrusive a ostentatious Harvard the origin of squatter sover a gentleman As or. Douglas verily eighty and a watering All the schools the a gods take care of with Liis endless repetitions of the the Peculiar Mode of selecting their a great principle that underlies and candidate for the vice presidency is outlines All other prime plus. It is not. I a .l11 custom i believe for presidential commented on in the following Strain a Liis selection of Johnson is an Apt illustration of the much boasted a regt hilarity a of the Douglas ticket and shows How far any Loyal bound by Bis democratic fealty to support such leaders. Ten Orfit Cen gentlemen a urged by hunger and request nominees to advocate upon the stump their own Superior merits for that High a it. A. It b in View of the Talent and wit of t nist i excl that has induced us thus to make such full and extended quotations from a display of equal Power by an orator of the opposite of friends a met one night in the a fining party would hardly have a elicited room of the National hotel at Wash commendation. For the a it style Art and in ton when having disposed of a old rhetoric or. Fitch pro macs to be collation they proceeded to dispose of on of the Brigit lights in the world the vice presidency. As there were political and oratorical. A it no aspirants for the Honor of this Joist prandial nomination their labor would have been Light but for the difficulty of finding a any one to accept it when proffered. Finally after a via Contis and anxious t session Dur which every a Bone was picked an 1 every name canvassed they chose As a Arnitt re or or. H. now this dining room candidate a this Labolt d Hote nominee Quot a Quot Firoz a Llie Row me Coors or Quot Quot a Patr Lytic utter Flysta re Tiar. Rome,ga., sep. 13th i860. Gentlemen a have this moment received your note of the lot Irist. In which you state that a the Hon god it natus Peeples publicly denied from the stump a few Days ago while and 4his a flame dressing the people of Rke coup i and impotent Condit Sion to a cold Ihm i would support or. Breckin tick be a Zippor and a secret caucus a a a pro for the preside Nej a a adding that a the claim the Only regut democratic said you pledged yourself to it r the Siai Darj bearer to oppose whom b to no Ininee a the seeders if they would dissolve the Union Dand firm on the to majority it of Atonna your sex Oover Oor comes in flirt not Tonuu Doit but As Gwal hit on the score Tey thousand votes catching Resolution. ,, la cally you were a Bell Man and that on hearing the result of the ixe Tucky election,.you stood with hat in band hollowing Hurrah for Kentucky and for a without attaching to my opinions or position the importance you Are pleased to express i am still unwilling to occupy the ridiculous attitude in which the above paragraph places me. Something like it 1 bad noticed newspapers but 1 have never taken the trouble to Correct any mis state tent which i they have at any time made with Reg arc to myself but when a gentleman of or. Peeples standing gives currency to so palpable an error there surely is no impropriety in publicly correcting it. 1 agreed most heartily with the american party in asserting Ami Defesi Diimig the principle of the dred Scott decision the Points decided in such a manner that there should be no doubt or Cavil in regard to our meaning Coli Lemming in the first place that Congress Lias no Power to prohibit or exclude Africa slavery from the common territories of the United states. So comply that the territorial Lygis i Tures a deriving their Powers i Roin Congress the trustee of equal Ami Sovereign Stales Conid not directly nor indirectly exclude or impair the Validity of slave pro Yerty and thirdly that the government in All it departments b bound by the Constitution and by the duty a Biclie the Sovereign always owes to Llic subject to protect the slave Holder in his rights. These principles in varying phraseology but always identical in substance live been ail again incorporated into the platform of the party gathering intensity with each repetition and becoming More and More prominent in every canvass. In 1857 and in 1859 the Only questions of Federal politics discussed by Public speakers and by the press of inc opposition were those connected with the statue of slavery in the territories. It Rose and does still Rise far above All topics of Mere administrative policy inasmuch As it involves the perpetuity of the Union and the duration of the government under present constitutional guarantees. Regarding the decision of the supreme court As presenting a common ground on which All parties at the South could unite without lining violence to Long prejudices and to which the True and Loyal of every Section would ultimately come when the storm of fanaticism had exhausted its fury we invited All men every where to unite in its Man tenancy and especially called upon the democracy to give up the equivocal phrases of the Cincinnati platform and adopt in its Stead the principles of the Constitution As expounded by the court. Actuated by the spirit of patriotism Ami with perfect sincerity 1 declared before assembled thousand.--, in the canvass of 1859, that i sought no paty advantage i Only desired the recognition and enforcement by political parties of the adjudicated rights of the South that if the democratic party when it met in convention adopted a platform plainly and distinctly vowing these principles and placed a sound Man upon in and the american parly failed to do the same i would for the democratic i made the Promise voluntarily because it was right to make it. 1 will fulfil it not reluctantly but willingly with my whole heart for the same reason. I might evade it by a quibble in the first place by denying that the entire democratic party had come up to the Standard of truth and but 1 never expected that. I Felt confident that whenever the rights of slav Liol Ders were without evasion recognised by the party the free soil element of it would abandon it. 1 never expected to in affiliation with that portion of the parly. A majority of the slates of the Union with a considerable number of delegates from the remainder have come fully up to the requisition made a Ion Licio have boldly a cited our whole rights Ami arc battling for them. I night evade in the second place by contending that Niy old party associates had Lone Cir Billy Well. 1 wish it was possible for me to do so. It would have saved me Inu regret and spared no Little embarrassment but my regard for truth forbids it. The convention of the party which met in May last As they Hare always done when disconnected with false allies at the North declared with spirit and manliness tor the rights of their state and Section but tic delegates whom they sent to Baltimore consented to ignore the whole question and agreed to accept instead of the Plain spoken resolutions which they carried Zyvith there a the. Unanimous sentiment of their constituents of an empty unmeaning generality calculated Only to deceive and al Ord opt it or nity to betray.

I will Content with a few negative propositions. Or. Bell has never declared that Congress has no constitutional Power to prohibit slavery in the or. Bell has Sieve declared that con cannot Confer this Power on the territorial legislature nor they cannot exercise it. Lie May have voted against the Wilmot proviso and declared that the people of contended in 1848 that the Only Lime for a territory to determine the be stun of slavery was when they made their state Constitution but al no time Lias be placed votes or this declaration on the Only Safe ground where the supreme court places it . Alf. Bell has never pledged himself by space Eli or to the infin Teanee of the principles of the dred Scott decision nor is it known to Day that he no improves of if. My. Bell has never denied but on the contrary asserts the Power of Congress to bul Isle slavery in the District of Columbia. If or. Bell Lias denied Llic constitutional Power of Congress to do any thing which has been proposed since lie has been in the Public service it has escaped my observation. There is then the absence in or. Belles history of that clearly defined position on the Side of right which the co tuition of the country imperiously demands. But 1 would be unwilling to support him with a better record without a declaration of , in Plain English words which would bind Bis parly fhe evil of this omission is shown in the action of the opposition convention which met to nominate an electoral ticket. For the first Lime the party failed to inscribe its time honoured principles upon its Banner. And where is the Bell orator or Bell newspaper in Georgia who is now contending for the ancient Faith i who reads in Bell organs the Clear ringing arguments against squatter sovereignty to which we have been so Long accustomed who listens to Tho scathing denunciations of Douglas and his heresies with which our ears were last year so familiar where is there one newspaper or one single Man in All the North supporting or. Bell who stands up boldly for the adjudicated rights of the South ? there is not one. Men May repeat the Manity a the , the Union and the enforcement of the Laws a a until doomsday without results. We ought to demand a platform which would compel the candidate and All who support him at the North to Tell the truth to the people there. To Tell them that we demand Only the rights which the Constitution gives us which the court awards us and which i equity and Good neighbourhood would willingly yield us. Only when we become True to ourselves can we Hope to create a just and wholesome Public sentiment at the that this is possible we have the clearest evidence. Since the nomination of or. Breckinridge on a sound platform every newspaper North of Mason amp Dixon a line which supports his election sustains without abatement and with Zeal and Energy the principles he represents. Every stump speaker from a the old Public functionary a the president of the United states Down to the humblest of them when they stand under the Breckinridge Flag avow and defend the sentiments inscribed upon it. I regard it As a Public calamity that at this juncture when so Large a portion of the democracy Are vigorously sustaining Correct principles our old parly associates should have ignored or abandoned them. If they bad stood firmly to their position to might not though we ought to have supported the same candidate yet we must Llave been coadjutor and allies in the strife the Only cuu latin Between us to determine who should inflict the blows upon a Cornmon enemy. As it is the spirit of antagonism is daily separating us More and More widely. A in lie friends of or. Breckinridge Are everywhere stigmatized As do unionists for with Fidelity the Only principles which make the Union Van Lom Call upon us to forget selfishness and prejudice to Biry past feuds and present jealousies acid unite in one solid Phalanx to Opp Ose the wrong. A a your fellow citizen h. V. M. Miller. Messes. Mcdowell and Blunt Zebulon. Luller from Fatm Nglen. Was ii Acton d. C., sept 24, 1860. Messes. Editors my attention was this morning by the following notice of speech delivered in new York by the editor of the Baltimore Patriot heretofore the it Champion of plug ugliest blood tubs &c., Ali ice taken in connection with the fact announced by Liim in the same speech that h. Winter Dat is would also support Lincoln and Hamlin shows that there is but one step from Belliston to Lincoln ism. Or do gins has already admitted that be was at Hie half Way station Between the democratic and Republican parties with Bis baggage checked through. This must be the station at which the Bell and Douglas leaders in your state have recently met and become so intimate. It is out of this Bell party in the Border states that the Republican expert to manufacture in future Black Republican party should they be successful in the present presidential contest and it is and has been the adherents of this same Bell who have at All times and a re now ready to give the advocates of anti slavery sentiments a lift whenever they need or. Bell himself helped them to reject the admission of Kansas under the Lecompton Constitution. And in the recent struggle for speaker of the House a Black Republican finally triumphed by the assistance of Henry we inter Davis and other South americans with Briggs of n. Y., and the corrupt Cabal of anti be Cropton democrats who bad raised the Standard of rebellion against the democratic party under the Lead of Steplen a. Douglas and who Are now openly battling in the ranks of our bitterest and so they go. They ii All met at the half Way House and Are All a whether intentionally so or not valuable allies of the Black Republican party. That Douglas and his leaders in the free states have despaired of Bis election and Are now determined to ruin the democratic party i have not a doubt k is now obvious to the most obtuse observer that the contest is Between Breckinridge and Lincoln. Beyond a reasonable doubt Breckinridge will carry All the Southern states and California and Oregon if so it will then Only require Twenty five More votes to elect him. Douglas will not carry a single state North or Saul. But in the North he divides the party thereby benefiting Lincoln and in the South he does the same thing thereby benefiting Bell ostensibly but really it All rebounds to the advantage of Black republicanism. Every mail brings additional and conclusive evidence that the object of Douglas in keeping his name before the people is to secure the election of Lincoln. He has slandered Breckinridge and raised the cry of disunion against him and his friends and then volunteered his services to Aid Lincoln in coercing the people of the South. He has thus persuaded own followers that the election of linco1a is preferable to that of the National democracy represented by Breckinridge and Lane and it is for this purpose he has done Bis utmost to prevent fusions in new York Pennsylvania and new Jersey. The fruits of his course Are daily developing themselves. A letter appears the signature of s. E. Finningan of Belton ., a Friend and protege of Douglas and heretofore one of his worshippers. This Man is a candidate for inc High office of states Aylor Neju his letter is addressed to the voters of his judicial circuit and True to the advice of his Leader he comes out for Lincoln because he does not believe Douglas stands any Chance of election. And so it goes. But for the extract mentioned in the tilts letter. Here it is Reph bucans in new York Post of saturday has the following. A last evening col.
