I Our oommunliy was startled from its uni qulot, on last Tdfcsday morning r tlio unoxpootod announcomcnt of io death of lion. John II. Lumpkin. Iw wero prepared by his short and fa. [ iiinoss for this wul casualty. While nt of our citizens wero sleeping in o and imaginary sooUrity not dream* , that denth was near at hand, his Frit was struggling with the destroyer I tho confines of another world. Ho * stricken down with apoplexy about Jio o’clock on Monday night, while nvorsing with somo of his frionds in ) piazza of tho Clioico House, and nf* r lingoring through the night, with livulslon after convulsion racking his lino, ho was roloasod from his sutter- s about 5$ o’clock in tho morning. Iter lioing attacked he did not speak 'all, except at first to muttor Indis* Icily u few words, nor did he api>oar Vrooognlzo his family or friends. His Vth is a sad boroavoment to our com* pn Tuesday an air of solemnity rest* ■ upon our town; conversation was nl pst ontircly hushed, or conducted in low tono of voice, and an expression I sadness was upon the countenances I all the people. Everything indicat* j that somo unusual calamity had ho* flen us; and such was the caso. There s no man whoso death Would havo jen more sincoiely and universally la- ^nted. by his jcindness of heart, his Urtcous deportment, aild his devotion I tho interests of tho public, he linden- jnrod himself to all, and won tho cn- e confidence of the people. ] A short biographical sketch may It bo inappropriate in this connco* Judge Lumpkin was the son of the |o Rev.

Why do yourLegli Mr. President and Friends:-—Tho city | | " * papers have unnouncod that 1 would speak to tills mooting to-day. Tho an nouncement was without my knowledge or consent. I refer to this for tho pur* poso of saying that my appearance now shall not be regarded ns a precedent re quiring mo to respond to similar calls in tho futuro. I am no politician to fill bills to order, but if 1 wero I should draw my own bills. Do not draw my own bills. Do not supimse I spoak thus bacause I am not settled In my convictions us to what wo ought to do ia this canvass, for on that point 1 havo no hesitation or doubt; nor yet be* cause I would not regard respectfully ».i * ** ’ uithorso- tho wiehos of my friends. Wi over tho changes of tho futuro may drift us, tho atfoction I foel for ovory truo American, with whom I havo struggled *q long for thoso truths which make up patriotism, U part of my heart, and the two must lira and dio together. But my health, though almost entire ly restored, is sueli that I must l>o al lowed to diroct my own actions during this canvass. Tho vory distinguished gentleman (Gov. Johnson) who addressed you last night, said hit mission was to speak to tho Democracy—his own divided broth erhood. Mine is very difiurent. I shall speak to the people. Democrats, Whigs, Americans—countrymen all, my wort! of warning is to you / This land of the free is full of corruption, strife and dis tract ion. Parly, party, party hat done il alll Oh, that tho God of tho patriot wouli cast out from our pooplo tlioso seven devils of party, which have alrea dy well nigh ruined us I If 1 shall utter a word on this occa sion which shall appear to l>o harsh, I assure you l do not Intend such a meaning. I certainly havo no such feeling. Lot us dotermiuo first what groat principle is involved in this canvass which wo ought to support, and se condly, for whom, ns patriots, wo should voto, In order most ellbetunl- ly to socuro and to iiromoto that prin ciple. In my opinion, tho whole nation is now called on, tho first timo in its his tory, to docido at tho ballot box, ichat power lias the General Government over tho subject of slnveiy? This question has often boon votod on in Congress, in Stato Legislatures, and by factions, but now the wbolo nation must voto upon It diroctly at the ballot box. Whatever may bo our opinions ns to tho wisdom, or necessity, or good, or evil to result from such an issuo, still puliiieitHs and ovents havo thrust it upon us, and wo must de cide it, as far at the ballot box can decidi it. glslfttures moot annually f Simply to nan such new laws and to remedy such dofoots in existing. laws as time and. oxporionce constantly show to bo necessary. Thus, in 171)3, Congress enacted a fugitive slave law, to carry out a plain constitu tional provision. For that day, and for years after that day, that act was suffi cient. But the ever-growing madness of uuti-slnvcry fanaticism, and tho in terference of anti-slavery Legislatures, rendered utterly nugatory tho remedies *• of 1703. irovidod by the act i Ilenoo, it pi _ ... became just as much a necessity, and just as much a duty, to pass a new and moro efficient law, as it was to pass tho orig inal not. What would now havo boon our condition had our fatliors agreed to bo satisfied forever with tho law of 1703, and released Congress from its duty of further protection ? So, though tho legal remedies are now sufficient, how. soon muy tho porvcrsc- ness of the huinnn will, tho ingonuity of aspiring demagogues, tho invasions of a mnd anti-slavery, world-wido senti ment, mm tho nosidvo intervention of unfriendly Territorial Legislatures and These aro three sound propositions, and oovsr tho whole ground of power and duty. About tho 5th day of June, 1850, Mr, Seward, of New York, offered the fol lowing as an amendment to tlio Com promise measures In tho Senate: ... “Nolthor slavery nor Involuntary ser vitude, othonriso than by conviction for crime, shall over bo allowed in either of ■aid Territories of Utah and New Mex ico.” This Is tho Wilniot Proviso.— John Boll votod no, and thus endorsed, utidor oath, the first proposition of tho platform.- On tho samo day, Mr. Berrien—thnl great man—from Goorgio, offered the following amendment: “But no law shall bo paracd interfer ing with tho primary disposal of tho soil, nor establishing or prohibiting African slavery.” This was against.Squatter.Sovereignty. John Boll votod yet, and thus endorsed tho second proposition of the platform. On tho 27th of May, of tho samo year, Mr. Prqtt of Maryland, ami Mr. Davis, of Mississippi, agreed upon, and Mr. Davis ottered, tho following amend ment to tho samo bill pcoplo, render present remedies utterly l “Provided, that nothing herein con- nugutory?

I lmvo given masons enough to show tho correctness of tho groat leading thought to bo insisted on ns the truo so lution of the question in tills canvass. Tho next enquiry is, for whom shall wo vote in order most tffectually to so curo tho triumph of this principle ? To sccuro this triumph and make it rjectu- at, wo must have a constat^ und honest eye to two tilings: 1. Wo must endorso the principle by our voto. / 2. Wo ought so to endorso It, as to re store peace to the country, qulot tho ugilution and thus ntaservo the stabili ty of tho GovcrninOnt. Ills neediest to say wo cannot sup port Mr. Lincoln*.

If your friend [misled, read it to him, and It will Pig hint back, like thp needle to the Then in my opinion, as tho issuo is made, the pcoplo ought as National men und patriots, by this election to declare that the Federal Government • hat no .power over the suhicel qf slavery exeept the jtotoer, coupled with the duty, of guardand pro• tectiny the owner in hit rights. 1 * Wo ought so to declare, first, because it is law. The supremo judicial tribunal of the nation has, in languago, so de clared. If wo do not maintain it, we shall siinnly subject*!ho stability of tho law to tho whims of . the multitude, and arc in anarchy. Wo ought so to declare in the second place because it is right. • Protection to tho person and proper ty of tho citizen is tlio first duty ot' ovory Government, and it is the whole and sole power and duty of the Government of tho Unitoii States. It was niado for tliis only, an J it can do nothing else.— Every, not of .every department of tho Government can havo no other scope, purpose or interpretation. Government create nothing, and destroy nothing 'as creation or des* ruction in a giv* •pecijicd instance bo necessary to re- : general protection. Whether it decluro war or make peace, whether it build a navy or levy an iui|>ost -what soever tt docs must be done for this end The wisdom of every speech, tho re dress of every wrong, the duty of every ofiieo, tho legitimacy of every action, must depend upon and ho measured by its fitness lor, and its directness toward* tho ono great goal—the protection of the person ami property of tho citizen. Human Government 1ms no other claim even to existence, and that form or Government must bo the most per- foot, which most perfectly secures tliis object. But I do not demand a slave code.— Southern men who demand it, 1 think, reason badly. They leap over truths, and jump to uconciuftion, which if gran ted, might rouder even tho right ques tionable. The demand for a separate specific bhwo code, admits that the ten- uro to slave property is peculiar—dif ferent from that by which other prop erty is held, and therefore needs a dif ferent quality of legislation. The great original ground of Oils demand is taken from the idea that slavery is the creature of and solely dependent iijKin municipal luw. It is upon this doctrine that non- action is said to bo effectual to exclude slavery from (ho Territories. Some persons say if tliero ho no law directly to nutborizo slavery it cannot exist: tho siavo without law is free. Therefore if tho Logisluture will provule no law— do nothing—non act, slavery is excluded If we admit tho premise, tho conclu sion is irresistible. This is tho founda tion argument of all abolitionism. I cannot admit it, becauso I do not bo- lievo it correct. .Slavery is tho creature ot Divine law. IIo who originally gave man dominion over tho beaut of the field, and the fish of tho sea, and tho fowl of the air, afterwards made Japhot tho master of Canaan and decroed Canaan to servitude forever. Tho first docrco is older irt dato, but not higher authority than tlbo last, and it is not lor mo to question tho wisdon of either. Ho knows best and tliero can be no wis dom or right which doos not submit to His will. Tho slave then, is property. Tho title is not made by Annum law. If I had on ly human law for my title or rigtit to my human slave, I would looso him be fore tho sun wont down. Siavo proper ty ditlbrs from other property, not in the right, but in its uso. lie who made the sorvant, prescribed rules and in junctions for lib humane, treatment, and for this tho master will bo responsible, aqd surely for its abuso ho will bo pun ished. 1 domand of government that which we have-r-a property code for protec tion of all property, and therefore of waves. But, again, I will not now demand of Congress a slave code, beoauso tho luws tlmn to protect, and there ore, one which wo deny; and because, nine, bis election will not restore peace, but in- cr0u»u distraction, and endanger the, government. It is idle to dobate tho propriety, tho right or tho wrong, of the fact. If tho experiment is forced, tho fact will turn out to bo, in my liumblo judgement, that (ho Government and Black Republicanism cannot live together. If our Northern friends wish to imiicril the Union, they can vote for Mr. Lin coln. If they wish to insure tho contin uance ot Hie first, they must make cer tain the defeat of the latter. At no pc- rind of the world’s history lmvo four thousand millions of property debated who'her it ought to submit to the rulo of an enemy. The Mouth must furnish the litst example, but wise men will not precipitate tho hazard. We cannot support Mr. Douglas.— True, he says Com/rtn shall not prohib it slavery. * But lie says tho Territorial Legislature, a provisional arm of tho Federal Government, mny prohibit slavery in two ways—by non-action and unfriendly legislation. * 1 lmvo explain ed his nou-action theory and tho pro mise o i which it is based, i deny tho correctness both of tho premise and tho conclusion. Unfriendly legislation is Hot only to deny the duly ol protection, and the right to refuse such additional remedies us timo and circumstances may show to bo necessary, but may al so intei fete with and render nugatory existing remedies. Declaim*-* this power under the Kansu* bill. It is claimed that the South has agreed to the non intervention ami denial of protection clauses ami doetrin* ns contained in that bill.

The difference between us is ono of principle. It is radical, funda mental. ami 1 fear incurable—certainly so, unless hr will change. As I Intend tliis day to speak candidly, and do full justice to even an enemy, I will add that outside of tho question, I seo much in Mr. Dougins to udmiro. On other questions, and on many occasion* hoha» boon a bold, able, and fearless defended of our rights. Ho certainly fight* the Republican partv most manfully,nnd if tliero is a man North of Mason A Dix on's lino, whom, above all others, I could wisli to bo, not almost hut alto-, get her such ns wo are, that man is .Stephen A. Douglas. But on tills ques tion I have'always differed with him widely, nnd must continue to ditto But I will do him tne further justice to say, I never mistook him. His friends South have ruined him hy denying, in 185f», Hint ho held theso opinions. lie was too honest to affirm their denials, and tho truth is now manifest. Tho masses of tho Southern Democracy have been deceived, nnd for that deception they curso Mr. Douglas. The • curse should boon those who deceived them, rather than on Mr. Dougins. Tlio issue is, thus, narrowed down to Mr. Bell and Mr. Brockcnridge. With a perfect willingness on my part to sup port the election of which over of these two, would most effectually fcocuro tho Cannnn principle onuncintcd, nnd rostoro pence to tlio country, I have examined this question, nnd liuve arrived at a conclu sion to which, 1 think, unprejudiced in vestigation will bring ovory Southern man. In no event, will l nrnko volun tary war on Mr. Brockcnridge, bull am fully convinced that tlio best policy and tho safest patriotism, require us to support Mr. Boll. I will procoed to vent said Territorial Legislature pax-lug such laws as may be necessary for the protection of tlio rights of property of every kind, which may bo hereafter, conform ably to tlio Constitution and laws of the United States, held in, or introduced into saiil Territory.” Mr. Davis also profaned tho proviso with somo remarks, dooiuring his object to bo to assert tlio duty of tho Government to protect slavory. On tliis proviso Mr. Bell voted yes, thus asserting, under the oath, tlio du ty of protection when necessary in the very language of the platform. .• For Mr. Davis’ proviso, soa'Congres- sional Globe, vol. 21, part 2, page 1074. For all tho votes, sco samo book, page 1134, Therefore, to an actual demon stration, Mr. Bell is certainly as sound as tlio Breckenridgo platform. My next proposition is, thut Mr. Bell is sonmler than this platform. Non to the proof. Tliis platform, of courso, says noth ing aliout slavery us a political, moral, or social good or evil; nor does that platform assort any good in slavery to tho country, or as contributing to its prosperity. But on tlio Gth day of July, 1850, in bis piaeo in tho Senntc, Mi. Bell made a speech in wliiclty after asserting tho right to protection; to be constitutional and U uwiuestimwdde, u he proceeds to give bis views on slavery itself. A bet tor argument ha* never been made in dofenco of slavery. Ho proves it right by tho laws of nature, and of God, and a political, moral, social and religion* good 1 l beg every man in tho South to get away from demagogues and i*ur- ty—sit down with a pure and honest heart, and read that speech lieforehe votes, against Mr. Bull, or stultifies himself by calling him unsound. Nothing like it can bo found in all tho lilo of John C. Btcekcnridce. Thus Mr. Bell is founder than tlio platform, and sounder than Mr. Brcck- onridgn and his platform together. Now, feUow-cidznns , 1 will say hero in general torm* without taking up'your time to rood so -much, that there is nothing in all Mr. Bell’s rocord incon- sistten with tliis. I euro not how de signing editors and demagogues dis grace themselves witii garbling false hoods, and mean perversions io tlio contrary, this is true, and there lives not in nil South a purer, sounder, hotter statesman for the South and the Union than John Bell. But you will say how is it that Mr. Bull with such a record has been tie- dared to bo unsound so often at tiie South. Tho grounds of this chargo have been two—his vote* against tlio Kansas bill, and the Lecompton Con stitution; and uLo Hie gcueml fact that every body not a democrat is habitu ally announced a* unsound hy the small men of that party. In lS5t», they burnt mo in effigy a* an ally of the Republi cans, and last night they hung Gov. Johnson for tlio same reason 1 suppose. To the Governor 1 send greeting, with the hope that four years lienee, lie may stand as fully vin dented os 1 do to day. But why should *our Breckinridge friends condemn Mr. Bell for voting against the Kansas Dill? Uo did lion- only believe and fully Ucciaro that that bill would lie evil and only evil to tho South and tlio Union. Do you not all admit it? When you seceded at Char leston, you put on record tho. reasons for that secession, and in looking over your reasons, I find miiuy epithets ap plied to the Kansas bill and the Cincin nati platform, sudi as “cheat,” “awln minority ded, how can yon suoccei. 8o I will say to our Douglas friends, why not support Bell? You are National in your wishes, hut you cannot succeod. You aro dividing our strength nnd hazarding tlio nation. In voting for Boll, you only givo up squatter sover eignty. Aro you wedded to that? If Mr. Dougins nnd his friends wore to unito on Mr. Boll, tlio defeat of Lin coln is sure. Ami by such an exhi bition of National patriotism, Mr. Douglas would write ids name higher in tho Tomplo of Liborty than any liv ing stat'.sman has climbed. But if our Brcokonridgo friends can not voto for Mr. Bell, tliero is yot a chance of union. Let us bo equals I— 1 liuve suggested heretofore an arrange ment of tliis kind. Tho responsibility of its rejection and of the consequent continunncoof strife shall bo with you, nnd with you I leave it. Why should our Brcckinridgo friends still cleuvo to Democracy ? The organi zation, and tlio iidmf, belong to Mr. Douglas. It is folly to deny it. People can’t bo inndo to say anything, simply because you want them to say it. ilo- sides, if Democracy lias become so cor rupt, and lias deceived tlio country ns you say, why should you wish to appro priate its name with such a prestigo?— Moro than nil, if that party has iumio- sod on tlio country a “cheat,” which has borne no fruit but strife, and blood, and deception, how can you ox poet us to bo counted in its member- hip? My countrymen, I appeal from tlioso leaders to you l How long will you suf fer politicians to flatter you as sover eigns nnd use you as .victims, without awaking your resentment? How often shall they, settle nnd unsettle tho slavery question before you discover the only meaning they have, is to oxelte your •rejudiees nnd get vour votes?

A sudden attack of iliarrjme.t, dysentery, or cholera morbus can be effectually mi l instmiUuMutsly relieved *»y it. it i* oquoliy. effectual in curing scalds, IMipulnr, and In several In stances laui aftsurot that tho cholera has been arrested nnd life preserved by its use.— dle,’ r “humbug” nnd a “deceit ujion the South.” On this bill, then, why cofidemu Mr. Bell! Tho only differ ence 1 can see between you nnd Mr. Bell on tliis point is, that it roquired six years ol bitter experience and ear nest warnings to teach you what Mr. Boll saw from tlio beginning! Tlu*n ns to tho Lecompton issue, Mr. Bell did not voto against this bill, bo- cause it contained slavery! Ho honest ly believed it wns fraudulent. Whether so or not lie believed so, nnd so believ ing, was it not Ids duty to vote against it i Wfc ought ubt to require a man to bo corrupt, even to gratify our own fool ing*. Every man who condemns Mr. Bell for tills voto, only impeaches his own reliability, doubtless without intend ing it. However, wo might differ, with Mr. Bell as to tho fact of frauds, yet tho voto itself proves nothing, except that Mr. Boll was honest, yes, honest enough to do right against his own pre judices, I admit but low politicians will understand how this is possible! I know of no greater virtue, nor one more needed nt this time in our public men. Mr. Hammond of South Curolina, said tliis I<ocoinptnn bill ought to linvc boon kicked out l Why not call him tm- sound too ? Ho is a Democrat! Tliero is another reason strongly fav oring tho claims of Mr. Bell, which" wo cannot consider too seriously. Mr. Bell is a national mnn, aud his election nationalize our principles. But how happens it, that ho is so sound and yet so national? The explanation is easy.— Mr. Boll has always regarded our Con stitutional rights as unquestionable.— They'wero fixed, and above tho powor of Go - ~ " eminent to protoct. We must insist upon It, first, because this right and duty have been denied, and they who deny, ore looking to got control of thogovernmont. Their suc cess is a triumph of the denial. Alrea dy has this doojrina of protection boon denied by aotua I legislation in ono in tho wiu Nobraskd blll. Again, all experience shorn, lliat remedies which aro aufiloiant for the present, bocomo inefficient under tho John Boll is as sound as tho plal on which Ur. Brockoarldgots hinted. Thb platform contains tlirco distinct proposition: 1‘vfhat Congress has no power to ai3lish slavory in the Territories. 2. That tho Territorial hogMaturo has no such powor- ■ - — ■ " contrary, it is tho du. irotoot pro- ' wbenover necessary. no such power’ 3. That, on tho contrary, It ty of tho Government to pn perty (slavery understood) lovornment to destroy. Therefore, ho has opposed agitation os unnecessa ry anil umvisu. Foolish agitation al ways stirs up nnd invites positive ag gression. When issues and votes havo been forcod l,y tho thoughtless, Ur. Bell has votod right, but ho hns done so, deprecating tho evil to tho country or gratuitous agitation: If dll bur pub lic men had taken John Boll, fora mod. el, tho rights cf the South aud the per- ■■’or ' J ‘ ' petulty of tho Union, would to-day, bo inoueationable and unmatiohal. Tho oleetion of Ur. Bell will give our principles a peaceful, qulot triumph, aud duliamt tho Kopuhlican party. ’ Tin okinriugo ih. ttr'fc. and tond to buildup tho Ro- publloan party. ' !-r .
