Impartant Patriotic Letter of Charles O’Conor.
The living burning eloquence of a Phillips,
a Curran, a Burke, a Grattan, and O’Con
nell, Ireland and Irish men have a right
to be proud of—the same national right by
which the American cisizen loves to hear the
stories of the Patriotic eloquence of Patrick
Henry, who fired the minds of our ances
tors with the unquenchfble thirst of free
dom and independence, Charles O’Conor,
the Irish-Americau Orator, is another of
those sons of old Erin whose speeches and
writings and pleadings are destined to run
down the stream of time the admiration of
countless ages to come.
In his letter to the Chairman of the Breck
inridge and Lane Mass Meeting in New
York a few days ago, he enunciates facts, and
gives his opinion upon important political
questions—and these facts and opinions
should he carefully considered by the Dem
ocratic party throughout the length and
breadth of the land : and more especially by
our Irish fellow-citizens.
After a masterly review of the whole sub
ject of slavery, the only question upon which
the Democratic party is divided, Mr. O’Con
or says:
“7 amin favor of Breckinridge\and Lane, be
cause they stand upon a platform distinctly
expressing these principles.
“Mr. Douglas declines practically to stand
up to them. He blinks the main issue, and
seeks to ride into power upon a dogma which
impliedly concedes to abolitionism the vital ele
ment of its political poicer, to wit: that negro
slavery is unjust, or at least lias in it some el
ement which, on moral grounds justifies hostil
ity.
“His friends may deny thisjconstruction,
but to my mind it is manifestly just. The
whole practical importance of his popular
sovereignty doctrine is in its bearing on the
slave question. No one cares a fig about it
except in this single connection. In all its
other bearings it is an admitted abstraction,
unworthy of a moment’s attention, and inca
pable of attracting it.
“Let any man who doubts this read Mr.
Douglas’ argument as published in Harper’s
Magazine, and his subsequent reply to Judge
Black in defence of that article. Slavery is
the staple of his whole argument. The
phrases and postulates of the anti-slavery
agitators are invoked by him at every point
in the discussion, and most liberally used to
sustain his views.
“THUS, TO ALL PRACTICAL PUR
POSES, MR, DOUGLAS PRESENTS
HIMSELF AS A SEMI-ABOLITIONIST.
His platform tends to keep abolitionism alive,
as a power in the State, for future mischief.—
The platform of Breckinridge and Lane as
sails the hydra in front, and aims to slay it
outright."
None'will deny that Charles O’Conor is
true as fidelity can make him, to every inter
est dear unto Irishmen, and he advocates the
cause of Breckinridge and Lane, because as
he says himself “their platform assails the
hydra” of Douglas’s abolitionism “in the
front and and aims to slay it outright.”
He tells us he cannot support Douglas,
because “he (Douglas) presents himself as a
semi-abolitionist,” and “his platform tends
to keep abolisionism alive, as a power in the
state for future mischief.”
Our Irish fellow-citizens will well consid
er and weigh the advice of this their most
distinguished and gifted countryman—as
words of wisdom and admonition to them
at a most opportune time.
Mr. O’Conor’s letter in full will be found
on our first page. It will find an echo in
the heart of every true Democrat in^the coun
try.
Col. 0. C. Gibson’s Speech.
We take great pleasure in laying before
our readers the admirable speech of the
above named gentleman. Containing as it
does, views which every true Southerner
must subscribe to, it will be perused with
much interest by the great body of our
readers. Col. Gibson has always been ac
knowledged the most zealous and dauntless
defender of Southern Rights. He knows
no flincliiug—always ready to face the mus
ic, whenever the rights of his native South
are imperilled. He is one of the ablest law
yers in Georgia, a man in whom every man
who knows him well, places the most im
plicit confidence. He would do honor to
the Supreme Bench of the State of Georgia,
and his appointment to succeed Judge
Stephens, would give great satisfaction to
the people of Georgia. Let Gov. Brown
“take due not ice thereof, and govern him
self accordingly.”
Judge Whitaker for Elector.
We publish to-day a communication, sug
gesting the name of the Hon. J. I. Whitaker
for Elector of the 4th Congressional District,
It may be considered indecorous in us to say
anything in commendation of this sugges
tion, as Judge Whitaker is one of the pro
prietors of this paper. But we will venture
to say, that no man in the whole District
would give more general satisfaction as their
candidate, than Judge Whitaker. We speak
of that which we know—that Judge Whita
ker has the confidence of the people of the
4th Congressional District, to as great an
extent as any man living in it. Kith or
SPEECH OF COL. 0. C. GXB80Y,
Delivered at the Ratification Meeting in Griffin,
on the 3rd inst.
Mu. Chairman: We have but to glance
at the status in which we now exist among
the nations of the earth, to see that none,
among all the peoples, occupy a position so
thoroughly filled with ail the elements of
happiness, greatness and gratitude.
\Y hence comes it? Our great element, it
is true, consists in the fact that it is but late
ly our immense wilderness began to bud and
hlosom under the benign influences of civil
ization and religion; but the iron hand of ty-
rany is and ever was quite sufficient to crush
out the whole of this powerful ingredient in
our high estate. Cuba is to-day a living mon
ument of this truth.
It is liberty—constitutional, enlightened,
civil liberty—with equality and justice for
its basis, that has consumated for us the hap
py condition we all know to exist, and all
equally prize. Without that, this day, our
veiy blessings would be calamities.
And to secure that, our ancestors inaugu
rated for us a policy antagonistic to that
which has for so many ages subjected all
other countries to poverty, wretchedness,
and humilitation; and by that policy the peo
ple were to rule themselves in righteousness.
It never was a part of the policy of the men
of ’70 to be unjust. Injustice was the effec
tive main-spring that set them in workiiuj
order for the ascertainment of the time when
and the manner how to attain the glorious
estate at which we have already successful
ly arrived. But opposition and wrong of
itself would not alone have elevated us to
what we are now the actual participants of
It needed another element, and for us, hap
pily, the patriots of ’76 had it.
And what think you, fellow-citizens, was
it ? Little as it may have commanded the
observation of leaders and people, no doubt
exists of the fact that we owe all we have
and are that is worthy of our admiration,
that deserves our chief regard to public vir
tue It gives no “quarter” to deception and
falsehood—it knows no master but truth—
truth without the semblance of falsehood to
mar its fair face. Public virtue, too, is sin
cere. It has a courage before which in days
gone by all hypocrisy had to quail! ay, had
to hide its deformed head.
Public virtue is worthy in these United
States, of a monument that might overshad
ow the land; when lost, all is lost; while
maintained, it is the “shadow of a great
rock," under which the nation may repose.
Mr. Chairman, it has occurred to mo as
fit on this occasion to indulge on this wise
in opening what I have to address to you
touchiug the matter for which we assembled;
intending, in the course of my remarks, to
apply it.
Theoretically, little as our capacity is, we
might occupy you to weariness; but the mat
ter we have in hand is a practical and mo
mentous issue, in a few short days to be by
the people finally disposed of; and the great
interest all of us have in it is, that it be so
done as to’secure the greatest good for us all,
not the good of the hour, but of the day—a
nation’s day. How to maintain and perpet
uate our present favored condition, down
along the vista of ages, is the work of the
patriot of 1860.
Until the fiend of abolitionism fixed his
talions in the public heart, all political wrong
readily fell before the intelligence and virtue
of the people; but such has been its mammoth
strides, that the patriot has continually had
occasion to look with deepest apprehension
to its fearful progress. Its war is the knife
to the hilt in the vitals of the nation; and it
is madness itself—nay, more than that, I
stand here sir, to-day, to proclaim that it is
criminal to the behests of Heaven itself for
us to conceal from our eyes its horrid pur
poses.
Do you not, every man of you, know by
heart, that the South cannot exist for a day
with these slaves set at liberty among US ?
and do you know that party is now propos
ed to be prostituted to the fell purpose of
elevating to the highest position in the land
a man bound so to administer this Govern
ment as to secure to ever}' slave his liberty,
because it was said by our ancestors in
speaking of the divine rights of kings and
nobles that “all men are created equal” &c.?
No more and no less is what the Black Re
publicans avow as their mission.
Heretofore, under the antagonism of par
ties the virtues and vices of each have been
subservient to making manifest that line of
national policy best calculated to accomplish
the greatest good to the wnole people, under
a government now the glory of the whole
earth.
That is not the crisis of 1860. The ques
tions that made Federalists and Republicans
(not Black, but true Republicans) that creat
ed Whigs and Democrats, are settled. The
country acquiesces in the leading principles,
(in their purity) of the Republicans of 99,
and of the Democrats of 1840. But the strife
of 1860 prevents new issues; issues fearful
in their natures, and that may be fatal in
their consequences.
Sir, it behooves, it greatly behooves every
citizen—not only in every citizen that hears
me to-day, but every citizen in this whole
nation—to see well to it that he be a free
man—a man free free from the dominion of
party, free from the power of prejudice, free
to have iu his soul virtue, brave virtue, that
can comprehend his own faults, that can
forsake them; virtue that can nerve him to
the right, regardless of whether liis course
may front or please. I have heard that some
among us, lift the rod of repudiation against
some that have had their favor. If it be so,
let me address a word to the threatened; be
men ! follow the lead of the right / let con
sequences take car6 of themselves. Heroic
virtue i9 what is needed now! The impor
tance of the occasion demands that every
man come sternly to the issue; look the dan
ger in the eye, and let your duty to your
country be done and well done. Any party
that can’t face the issue ought to be spum
ed- thev may distract, but can’t help you.
Mr. Chairman, it is the acme of folly for
us to disguise the clear truth from our eyes.
Abolitionism is rampant in this nation; all
its worst purposes are fast culminating. It
has already sieged the chief rein of power,
to-day it controls the majority of the numer
ical strength of the States in the Union; and
its work has only been stayed over beyond
the idea of I860,' by the iron-ribbed Demo
cracy; and you have seen this gigantic mon
ster with his vulcan hands rive it asunder.
And to me it is a matter of profound aston
ishment to witness the acclamations of joy
of those whose hearth-stones are inviolate
because a once united Democracy so long
withstood the shock of confined abolition
hosjs; but that rejoioing is theirs, not mine.
It is sir, with the deepest sorrow for my
country, I have observed the champions of
Democracy in the great North-west having
the “belt” torn from then- waists. Yes sir, I
stand here to-day humiliated in saddest con
cern, that it becomes the painful duty of
every true-hearted Southern Democrat to see
Stephen A. Douglas, William A. Richardson,
and their hosts taking steps backwards to
save themselves from the abolition neighbors.
Yes sir, I tell you the truth, and nothing
but the truth, when I assure you that at
Charleston they pleaded most potently to
me and my comrades in defence of your
rights, that there was but one way for them
to maintain themselves before their people,
and that was to deny that you, as slavehold
ers, had the right to be protected by your
Government in the enjoyment of your slaves
as property in the common territories of the
whole Union.
to that party now a few words, and I have
done.
When the Democratic Convention would
not have Mr. Douglas, the “Rump” of that
Convention made him their chief; and, with
humility I say it, one of Georgia’s sons ac
cepts his lieutenancy cast off by a noble Al
abamian.
But at once to the reason, in a few words,
every State has an equal right with every
other citizen of every other State to hate ]
aU his property protected by the Go jfmuint j
of the United States: but strange as it may i
seem for men, honorable men, professing to j
approve the great principle of equality, j

<S>
of right between man and man, there is,
and can be, in truth, no such real thing (is
“Squatter Sovereignty.” It is an incentMt,
a pure false, and truly a wicked and crimi
nal invention, to conceal from the virtuous
understanding of the honest-hearted yeo
manry, the enormity of the usurpation ofi action Black Republican ground to stand;
AiitinniatQ fraud and on it in Illinois he aid stand, and tri-
the abolitionists, when in their guilty fraud
they assume to appropriate to their own in-;
dividual uses ami enjoyment, property to'
honest-hearted mind.
Why sovereignty is a principle. It is a
principle that has no shadow or clouds
about it; a principle so long and so well es
tablished that, in the graphic language of
the law canon, “the memory of man run
neth not back to the contrary.” Sovereign
ty is always in that person, whether natural
or artificial, in whom the title to the Soil
rests. Courts call it the “eminent domain;”
and one would just simply stultify himself
before an enlightened tribunal, if lie wer^fo
set up pretence that the “squatters” on CB-
ermneut territory have title to the soil.—
Evefy day when the “squatters” are alreg^
domiciled on the soil, the United States
Government sells the very land on which
they “squat;” and no “squatter” is fool
enough to question before a court the title.
I maintain, without apprehension of truthful
contradiction, that Squatter or popular Sov
ereignty” is no more and no less than a pure,
unadulterated humbug. It is true, it may
have been at first invented without a bad
purpose, and it may have been one of those
necessary lor Nlr. u. to ap
pease his abolition neighbors. And here the
man was tempteed; and great as he deserv
edly was, he fell. Here his virtue was not
equal to the trial; and I mean exactly what
I <*ay, right here Nlr. Douglas stepped on
umph too; but in doing it he had to violate
his plighted faith ; and from that day to this

strange freaks of a fruitful brain wand
without a solid place to rest the foot,
in the controversy that now propoi
wreck your rights, it is iniquitous, p
iniquitous, and without a particle of j
to uphold its fraudulent design.
Be not deceived! now it is nothing b
olitionism, in the disguise of “popular
ereignty,” as Mr. Douglas would call
make it palatable. _
But to approach and grapple with the is
sue now before you—we have said that
“public virtue” is the true, and the only
true foundation for the manifold blessings of
which we are now the favored participants;
and we stand here to-day to plead for it—to
plead for in its fullness, in its reality.
Mr. Chairman, it is not quite thirty years
that under the laws of my country I haye
been a full grown citizen in right; and, sir,
I proudly stand before you and say, sinee
the 4th clay of January, 1820, no man, nor
body of men, has been the master eith
er of my thoughts or action. That day I
was a freed man, and I affirm with conscien
tious pride, that “principles,” not men or
party, has been my polar star. Thue, sir,
for many long years, my position, astern
well know, has been fully identified witlluie
weal or woe of the Democratic party; but
in all that time there was not an hour when
I was not ready, “at the drop of a hat,” ^to
sunder that relation, if my party called me
to violate my conscience, And, as you all
know, in the early part of this year, let
tered the warning that the anti-slave;
of our party was precipitating a Cl
us, in which we should have to surrender to
or begin to resist to the “bitter end” the
claim of downright abolitionism; and with
out more, it is enough to say it is now his
tory.
At Charleston a heroic few stood forth to
assert your rights, and though the cloud
was lowering, when so few of the fifteen
slave States manfully resisted the abolition
claim to appropriate all the common Terri
tories by corrupt and thieving emigrant aid
societies, of which the North and West can,
as they have already done, furnish an ample
supply with their “black carpet bags” and
bright John Brown pikes; yet the stubborn
struggle the abused “seceders” endured was
more than ten thousand times repaid on
Saturday, the 23rd of June, in the “Mary
land Institute.”
Yes sir, when the audacious outrages ol
the men who worship Stephen A. Douglas
and him only, drove old conservative Vir
ginia, gallant Kentucky, and Union-loving
Tennessee, with old rip-van-winkle out of
the theatrical temple of Douglasism; it was
glory enough for one day ! Principle, truth,
virtue, had a triumph never to be forgotten
by every true-hearted Southron. And when
that hero of moral and political virtue, Ca
leb Cushing, wended his way up to the chair
of true Democracy, midst ahurricane of ap
plause, the moral sublimity of the sacrifice
he was making, is only equalled by one of old
who climbed in the mountains with only son
and he asking, “where, father, is the sacri
fice ?” But, sir, it was done; and to-day I
stand here with inexpressible emotions of
joy. that harmoniously, unanimously, we
were a brotherhood—a brotherhood in spirit
and indeed, Virginia, with true-hearted pa
triotism, led off her great Hunter, for Breck
inridge to have a clear track; and with the
same high purpose of “victory or death,”
the friends of Dickinson and Lane imme
diately opened up the way lor the gallant
Kentuckian; and to-day we hail with liveli
est joy your acclamation for Breckinrikge
and Lane.
And why ? just because they are the men
for tiie occasion—men of stalwart, athletic
character, able to bear the standard we have
reared. Let me not be held irreverent for
declaring what, in my conscience, I believe
—and I do believe there is and was a divinity
in the power in the midst of that great tumult
of man-worshippers in Baltimore, and con-
centrated.with such calm, stern confiding
unanimity of spirits, so many true hearts,
crowding round a principle—the great prin
ciple of equality and justice—and hailing all
of our accord from the far East, the far
North, the South and the West
No strife was there; every man with a
sound National air to the musie proclaimed
“all citizens of the United States have an
equal right to settle with their property in
the territory, without their rights either of
person or property being destroyed or in
jured by Congressional or territorial legisla
tion and “that it is the duty of the Fede
ral Government, in all its departments to
protect the rights of persons and property in
the territory.”
And this is the standard that John C.
Breckinridge and Joe Lane are to float. Who
objects to it ? not any American brethren of
Georgia! no sir—above your own Capital a
few short weeks past I saw that same bright
flag unfurled; the men that adopted and
set up the resolutions in the American Con
vention at Milledgeville battled for our
cause, and almost at one time seemirigly we
had to battle with defeat to the ve;y death
for their cause,
we have spoken
now with victory on our banner to them
we offer the hand of fraternity.
We think their Baltimore Convention has
failed to endorse them, either in men or
measures; but that is their business, “see ye
to it!”
We have another party on our hands, and
^to hide his vice. He piles up
vention” in 32 pages, in all the aspects his
jfhaster mind can invent. Why, fellow-citi
zens, “Non-Intervention” was established in
the day time ; it has no shroud of mid-niglit
about it; nobody need be mislead in rela
tion to it; it’s a simple affair; the humblest
mind can eompreqend it with but a few
grains of common sense and common hon
esty. One Wilmot of Pennsylvania, a “dry-
rot” Democrat, and his abolition allies,
sought to have Congress put in every Bill
organizing a Territory a clause that, exclu
ded slavery from such Territory, and to de
feat the Wilmot Proviso, the friends of
equal rights for each State vnd each citizen
citizen in the Territories (and Mr. Douglas
then ranked among them,) agreed that Con
gress should not intervene in the matter,
either to establish or to exclude slavery
from such Territory. That is Non-Inter
vention, nothing more, nothing less. And
when Lincoln was pressing Douglas to the
wall, because Non-Intervention had brought
forth a slave State, Douglas declared, “that
in my opinion, the people of a Territory
can, by lawful means, exclude from their
limits prior to the formation of a State Con
stitution.” Now, a man has just to stultify
himself not to see that is a new, totally new
and indifferent position and principle than
that of Non-Intervention. Non-Interven
tion asserted that Congress could not and
should not do this thing; and this “squatter
sovereignty” principle asserts that the Ter
ritorial Legislature may do* what Congress
could not. And from that day forward,
Mr. Douglas, reckless of truth, has been
striving to make the country believe it, and
Non-Intervention is the same thing.
If the Territorial Legislature has the right
to exclude slavery, then, of course, Congress
nor the Government of the United States
can’t “protect it,” for the two rights would
clash. And now, fellow-citizens, it was the
denial of this right of the slaveholder to
have liis Government proiect him in the en
joyment of his slave property in the com
mon Territories that made your seceders in
Georgia leave the Charleston Convention;
it was the assertion of this right by the ma
jority of the Convention with Caleb Cush
ing at their head in Baltimore, that made
such stirring, joyful unanimity in placing
before you Breckinridge and Lane, champi
ons of this great principle of justice and
equality. It is so admirably presented by
Gen. Lane, that I will read to yeu from his
speech in the Senate.
********
And for this, Stephen A. Douglas, in the
enate of the United States, liad the hardi
hood to denounce us as disunionists. The
The man did not believe what he said: in
his criminal lust for the Presidency, he crus
bed truth ; for in the language of the young
giant of Kentucky, Johh C. Breckinridge,
“no man is a disuniohist, who wants to pre
serve the Union on the great principla of the
Constitution, and the equality of the States.
Our peace has never been disturbed, except
where these principles have been departed
from.”
If your patience and my strength were
not already too much taxed, it would be my
duty to assail the very vulnerable position
of Mr. Gardner and his Vice President can
didate, in avowing the sentiments they did
the 4th of June, and before they got cold
raising the standard of the very man who
was cast og from the Democratic party by
every certain Democratic State in the Un
ion, and for the reason that he held the very
opposite of the principles they themselves
declared on the night of the 4th of June;
for you remember they did not hold their bo
gus Convention in the day, but a more fit
hour in the night.
Go out, fellow-citizens discard yonr former
party predelictions! rally to the cause of the
right! crush all who will not manfully stand
for the great principles of “equality and jus
tice.”

Waltham, Mass., Jan. 20,1359.
Messrs. W. E. Hagan k Co.—Gents—I have been sri
ling HKIMSTREET’S “inimitable Hair Rkstohativk”
for three or four years, with good satisfaction amt suc
cess. I have tried various other articles in the market
(Page’s, Packards, Avery’s YYood’s, Ac.) hut yours has
the decided preference amang them all. I have never
hesitated to recommend it to all it claims to do. Several
ladies of our town who had been nearing false hair tor
several yearn have laid it aside, and now have a full and
luxuriant head of hair of original shade and color
produced by using two or three bottles of your article-
and when by some means they have been induced to try
something else, palmed upon them as being superior
they have almost invariably returned to the use of vour
Hair Restoratives again, as the only meritorious and re
liable article in use—finding it as a toilette article n-»
cheap as any of the Ilair Oils or YY'aslies with which the
market is flooded. I am yours very truly,
_ ' S. B, EMMONS*.
Remember that these unparalleled results were pro
duced by HEIMSTREET’S Inimitable, the original and
only reliable article in use.
