It is itr.ponitinie for mu to address you through the medium of the imagination, or to plcaso your e.r. Mjr ulmost hope''ls to make myself under stood.

To consummate such nn act, as tbo emancjpa- j tfrui of an inferior ra< dike the negro, wotild be n ‘ violation of the law of nature, productive of the degeneracy of the first order of human beings, it would be a crime against the majestic law of God. That is a great mistake—tbe common remark of u certain people : that the inferiority of the uu gro is only a matter of color It i* absurd to make the difference between tho races, consist in cub-r! Certainly, a* Goethe *ay*. “There is something behind the color—something demo niacal.” Aud that “something” to which wc are ullud- { ing, is manifested iu thu entire orguui/.ution, uud consequently, by the intellectual fa •nlliev of the negro, and it wo cannot saftsfwtorily draw nn inference of thu negro inferiority froiu the mere . mructuro ol hig brain, it in nevertiiolers a well esfalili-hed suet that hr !* inferior anil deficient in (ntelloct, nn-Jth*refore inoßpalWe of seff gdx grrunent. llut this, en paeeant, and .simplv av an iUuetration of a nngic ease in whi;h the iuw oi uature uuiit bo tiro irmdo of nations. The subject iu hand, requiron utu to ahotv more apocifically, that ip order to enable ua to tmjoy hap|iineaa, io much as can he reulined by tuuu on taia earth, we have not only to harri to oom’ prebend hot. >• observe the law >f uatur?. The fimt dictate of nature is to preserve and U> lUHtain our lift. Our life is suatuinod by food, not only for the soul, mind and iuleUuct, but food for the body also. We consider, first, the most important pars, of food for the mind, and (hra in its extensive sense, is Ifihor, Labor and km nan life arc almost iden tieal. Labor becomes the substance of huuisti life itself. Labor is one of tho essentia) attri butes of uur human nature Bui how can labor be consistent, with hapfd* ness, when we read in the Bible : “Cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shall thou eat of it all the days of thy life; in the sweat of thy face sbalt thoucat bread till thou return unto the ground.” Is not that a terrible curse on labor ? But in that very Bonk of Books, we read also of the blessings which shall rest on our labor, when we observe the laws of Hod, which are specifically manifested by the laws of nature. It depeuds, therefore, on ourselves, whether labor for the hand or brain) shall lea eurne or a blessing to us, rendering ourselves either happy or miserable. Labor, therefore, shall be a bless lug, and one of the sources indisficnsible of hap • pines* when it 1* performed, not merely for tho i purpose to sustain our physical existence; but in accordance with the higher faculties given toman, and in conformity with bis higher aspirations. Proper labor is productive to cull out and to develop*oar moral And intellectual faculties, in one word, to elevate onr human nature, nnd ac cording to the eontroling harmony in nature, It ; influences also favorably, tliestate of health. By troubling sou with an example taken from daily life, I will be more enabled to make my- , •elf understood. A man orders of a cabinet maker, a costly table. Now, the intentions of this manufacturer, is “to make money hy all means.’’ Hence ho se lects very interior materials, oontrnry to tho bar gain. This very hrst “tap, before bis conscience has become altogether cnlloun, is productive of that effect which is called a “sting of conscience.’ he lias violated tho physical law which requires good materials lor the construction of a costly article, and the, inoral law of honesty, which re •piires him to 6omply faithfully with bis bargain. Ino he commences wrong; he, of necessity. Con tinues wrung. Hi*labor cannot please him. bis mind experiences the pang of dissatlfAction, bis restlessnes. increases before he finishes lim work, lie Fishes to have his unpicasaut johsoon finished; he, goaded by bis love of money, hurries t hrough it. siu>tng up late and rising early and eating rapid meals, and whan at last his work Is lone, he derives no real pleasure from U, and wbhes it gone out of hHr shop and oat of his sight. All that; and the indirect effects of his uneasy mind (the mildest termj on the stomach, brings on a disease, weU-lwuwa t>7 a, nm us ItjwU, iir- TliK UNI 0 N OP THK STATES, AND TO K SUV K H KHiXT V 11 P THE STATES.

W hon speaking of quality of food I utu alluding in partienlar to animal food. It i* a question. I sny, whether uninml food is altogether adapted to our human nature iu it* ‘ higher aspirations. While the arguments drawn Irutu out organisation arc applicable so flir as they have reference only to animal nature. Certain it is, that in consequence of not understanding the right mooning tf the word* of Bt. Mark : “ What soever thing from without enter* a man cannot defile him,” Christiiiu* ure disposed to devour all ilh; animals which, iu the range of creation, thev can lay hands on. Peoploseem to suppose, beasts arc created only \ for tho sake of the stomach, while the above quot- i e(l passage ha* a totally Uillcrent meaning. To exp ain the misapplied passage is not a very diPi'-wlt tusk, but 1 must necessarily, con- ! line myself, to say, il literal moaning i.> not ln- Ufiidtul for the direction and advico in making tho proper choice of our food. W c are to idiiovr tho dictates of nature, as no uneetyoya health in it* absolute meaning, hut j only comparatively. Consequently, wo have to make such a choice in food, which is adaptud to tiic individual state of health, and with tho high j er a* pi rut run* <d man. Wise authorities have restrained the salcof(poi- I stnious; liquoi *: (would to Heaven, that they would ! res'min tho sale of imdly made and baked bread i and other adulterated article of food.) The phy i i . inn's duly is to givo sanatory directions in the choice of our food. We need no more instances to show that human reason must bo exercised iu w hat we eat uud drink. While the Brahmin of India religiously abstains ; from every kind of annual food, and also in Per sia, Very little aniuml food is eaten, the rest of j mankind, particular.y the most civilized portions I ol it. are manifesting carnivorous propensities al most to uii unlimited degree; particularly re- j in likable is the prevailing penchant for pork I meat. It seems to me, that the great iiih** of Gbristalne are not satisfied with baring a symbol us CbriHiiauiiy, but they must have a typeot food | altogether opposite to the diet of the Jew*. lii one of tiie first obis* Hofei*, in Whieh I have 1 been fortunate to stop sometime ago, 1 read a bill I ol tare lor breakfast, a* follows : 1. Fork Chops; 2. limn; 3. Figs feet: 4. Break- j fast Raron ; 6. fHUsagei; fi. Omelnotu with hum ; j 7. halt F**rk ; 8. Fig* Liver; 9. Ball sausuges, ! and ID. Cold hum. There are here ten inn dev ofprepared hogs meal. 1 will only make one remark on one of these articles, namely : the Piye feet. At tho Hotel tic Dura in Paris (a ho pita! on a the hugest scale.) The attending Physicians have, by experiments atul observation*, established the fact, that the exclusive use of pig* feet by tho prisoners, have been productive to lliem of the Tape worm. Aud oousidcr now the absurdity of the fashion aide custom to honor pigs feet with champagne To all this, what I have said already, you will retort, what do 1 care for all that t “I like it, and that’s Hie end of it, nnd you hate the antipathy. ” But we have to consider, that the proper food for hum tu nature, is a mutter of higher importance, to depend only of it* Hoiceliou by “ l like it/’ The quality of lit* food of which we make use, tim manner by which it is procured and prepared, will cither promote or counteract animal propen sities, or even contribute to elevate huuiuu na ture. Wo read a remarkable passage in tbe old Testament in relation of the quality and the man ner of preparing tbe food: “ I hon shall not seeiiie the kid iu hi* mother’* milk.” The mesniug of ibeHc quoted paw*ages roust not he taken lilcialiy, but allusory. Moses designed to humanize aud to civilize this degraded people. In Hie prohibition of tbe food iu such a man ner prep arch are tbe mean* employed, to teach them, by paying a just and proper regard to the relations existing even between brutes, much more to respeot their higher relations us men to one another. And if we do not like to depend only on tha* ex- I ample of Moses, of old, let us listen to the laws ol nature which r|K.aks with the “still small voice’’ at every moment, but very distinctly to us, al though it must be admitted sometimes in symbols, win h we ure not always apt or ready to compre hend. There is a law manifested in nature, of which : the great inop-nty of men ure ignorant. 1 call ’ this iaw of nature, the law of Polarity. This : word is borrowed from the magnet, which mnni | Costs the well kuowu phenomenon; that similar poles repel, dissimilar poles attract. But Polari ty is not only applicable to the magnet, us the great muss of men suppose, but it is manifested as I well by our own nature, Imicrocusmoej as by ; the whole world, (inaerocosiuas.) Before T proceed farther, 1 will try to illustrate i the tn aning of Polarity, applied to a body which is called salt. A neutral salt is composed of an a>-id nnda htyic. Acid and base are opposites, like t tho mag-ct exhibits, turd form a salt when they meet ; bat when two acids alone, or two bases meet, they will repel, and cannot form a salt. The affinity of the acid and base is polarie aft-at tirr; the absence of affinity between two acids or two baes is jiulnrir rt/telfiiiy. Tho polaric affinity existing between the oppo site poles, of the acid and base--negative And pos itive—(nr if I atn not mistaken in using the term /i'il(trir) L c’ tricity, being productive when they moot, of forming the salt. 8o we will find a similar affinity between the organization of fruits, vegetables, farinaceous food, as limy are more dissimilar than animal food with our organisation. They are polaric opposites, and will like wine, according to the polaric affinity in the salt, form the right kind of one, namely, the human blodd. Consequently, vegetable diet is more adapted to our iiuiuiin nature than annual food. Therefore, the more our food resembles, (is sim ilar to) our organisation, the more repugnant it appears to our senses. And as fruit*, vegetables, are more dissimilar to our organization, the less they require the ar titidal changes of its appearance and nature. While mm meat requires absolutely more arti ficial changes the more it resembles our organi zation, example*; oysters and bf meat. In order to divest raw meat of its uuiui-il appear ’ mice and nature, It ia changed artificially by boiling and roasting; and the in ora properly it is changud by the right kind of culinary art, it b- I comer, more dissimilar to our human nature, and | consequently, more appropriate a a a food for Au | hiun beings. Every one is at. liberty to draw his own infer i once from the suggestions 1 hnvemude. For niy i part, l contend, that if even Queen Victoria likes ran; beef, nevertheless the truth of my tbaory con not be effected by it. Tho animal whoso organs of the orgnnir funo ! tions are the metal tithilar, as regards organiza -1 tion and shape, to the respective organs of man, furnishes the most favorite dish. The animal > ailudcd to is tho swine. The respective ‘organs of that animal and of man are polaric similar. Himilar poles repel, and iin accordance With that polaric law, tho i flesh of the hog ought to lie the moot tepuleiv to I our bumau nature. Further, the law of polarity 1 stUl speaks in another ‘language. It appeals to COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, MOMMY, MARCH 12, IBRO. our heart*--to our higher human nature. Let i uionsk you one question, ilnveyou over observed, and have not been struck to the depth of your heart, by t*o expression of the cyo olOueof your geutie homes? Was not somutliing in that ex pression like that ul a buuuwi being—maiiilysting a soul heauiing from the eye nhumt lihu that of a human?

Thu Democracy of Pennsylvania in Convention assembled, adopted tho to.lowing platform of res olutions: The flrat declares umdinkcu confidence iu the fundamental principle* o. tho democratic party, a* proclaimed at tho conventions hold in Balti more and Cincinnati. The second deprecates tho agitation of slavery—in or out of Congress—a* tending to weaken the bonds of common union, excite animosity, ami thus create and accomplishing uo possible good. Tho third declares thut O.ai’gress has no right or power to legislate on tho subject of slavery in tho Territo ries Tho fourth says tho question of tho right of citizens to hold slaves in the Tenritories is a ju dicial question and not a legislative one. Its de cision is committed exclusively to tho courts.— The fifth doclaros thut the whole power belonging to Congress is to legislate and enact laws and ex ecute them. It belongs to the Judiciary to Inter pret them, and their decision is final and con elusive, and should be cheerfully acquiesced in. Sixth^—The doctrine of an irrepressible conflict between North mid South it fraught with danger to the best interests ami dearest rights of the pco plo of the confederacy.

The following resolutions ‘were offered in the Kenate on the first instant, by Mr. Davis of Miss, in place of those heretofore offered by him, and were ordered to be printed: 1. Resolved, Teat in tho adoption of the Fed eral Constitution, the States adopting the same acted severally as free and independent sove reignties, delegating a portion of their powers to be exercised by the federul government for the inoreased security of each against danger*, do mestic as well as foreign, and that, any inter termoddling by any one or more States, or by a combination of their citixenx, with tho domoatio institutions of the others, on any pretext, wheth er political, moral or religion*, with the view of their disturbance or subversion, is in violation of the constitution, insulting to the Htutea mo inter fered with, endangers their domestics peace and tranquility—objects for which the constitution was formed—and by necessary consequence, serve* to weaken and destroy the Uuion Uaelf. 2. Resolved, That negro slavery, as it exists in fifteen Htales of this Union, compose* an im- Io riant portion of their doinesticjnstitutiona, In erited from their ancestors, and existing at the adoption es the Constitution, hy which it is re cognized a*constituting an important .element, of apportionment of powers among the Htatei, and that no change of opinion or feeling on the part of the non-slaveliolding States of the Ur ion, in relation to this institution, can justify them or their oitixens in open or covert attocka thereon, with a view to ita overthrow: andail such attack; are in manifest violation of tho mutual and sol emn pledge to protect and defend each other, given by the Btutos respectively on entering into the constitutional compact winch formed the Union, axtd.are a manifest breach of latlb and u violation of the most solemn obligations. 3. Resolved, That the Union of these States rests on the equality of right* and privileges among it* member*, aud that it is especially the duty of the Senate, which represents the States in their sovereign capacity, to resist all attempts hi discriminate, either in relation to person or property, oo as in the Territories—which are the ooiiimon possession of the United Statue— to give advantage* to thu citizens of one State which are not equally assured to those of every olbe State. i. Resolved, That neither Congress nor a ter ritorial Legislature, whether by direct legislation or legislation of an indirect and unfriendly aha ractar, possesses the power to uunul or impair the -••institutional right of any citizen of the United State* to take hi*slave property into tho com mon territories, and there hold and enjoy the same while the territorial condition remain*. 5. Resolved, That if experience should at any time prove that the judicial nnd executive authority do not possess the moans to insure ad equate protect!jn to constitutional rights in a Territory, aud if the Territorial government should fail or refuso to provide tho necessary re medies for that purpose, it will be tha duty es Congress to supply such deficiency, fl. He olvcd, That tho inhabitants of ( a terri tory ofthe United .states! when they rightfully form a constitution'to bo admitted ut a State in to thu Union, may thru, Ibr tim first time—dike the people,of a State when forming anew const! tuti •n-~deoi'le for themselves whether slavery, as a domestic institution, shnif be* maintained or prohibited within their jurisdiction; and if Cofi gres* admit them us a .Stale “they shall lie receiv ed into the l uion with or without sluvory.i us their constitution may prescribe at, tUft time ol their admission.” 7. Resolved, That the provision of tho consti tution for the rendition of fugitives from service or labor, “without the adoption of which thu Uu-* ion could not have boon formed,” and the laws of I TDM and 1860, which were enacted to secure its execution, und the mum features of which being similar, bear the impress of Hourly soveufy years of sanction by the highest judicial authority, should lie honestly and faithfully observed ami maintained by till who enjoy the boneflts of our compact of Union, aud that all acts of individu als or of State Legislatures to defeat the purpose or nullify the requirements of that provision, and the laws made in pursuance of it, are hostile in character, subversive ofthe constitution, and re volutionary in their effects. Fatal Affray. A suit was instituted in the fall of 1869, by Victoria Clements against her husbami, J sines Clements, for divorco. Depositions were taken soon after the institution ofthe suit, whieh gave rise to a difliulty between the defendant and Win P. Gilbert, in which both of these gentlemen, as well a* a brother of Mr. Gilbert, wero'sevuroly wounded. On Saturday last additional depositions wero taken at Brooks’, in the county of Franklin, und while (’apt. Vincent Witcher wus engaged in ex amining a witness, we are informed that a brother of Mr. James Clements drew a pistol and fired at Cupt, Witcher tho ball passing through his clothing, u,.d inflicting u slight flesh wound; whereupon he returned the fire, killing his an tagonist almost immediately. At this instant another brother of Mr. James Clements was in tho act of firing at Mr. Witcher, when he fired upon him also, the ball taking effect in the head und proving fatal. Just then Mr. Smith, n grand son of Mr. Witcher and a brother of the plaintiff, hearing tho firing, oauie in, and was fired upon by Mr. James Clements and slightly wounded in the shoulder, and, drawing u bowie-knife, instant ly killed Clements.

Wahhinuton Society.-The Washington cor respondent oi the Now York Herald, writes: It ia curious to an old habitue like myself to compare the present of Washington society with the past. 1 remember a letter of Daniel Webster written during tho session of 1813, almost fifty years ago, wherein he comptains of “tho utivary ing masculinity” of our circle* here. No such ground of complaint can he made now-a-days. On the contrary, ‘femininity’ decidedly predominates; at least it did at the twenty or thirty reception* which I had thu pleasure to witness to-day. Madame Slidell arid Mrs. Gwinti threw open tlieir mumions on every Saturday with a sump tuous hospitality, as gracious as it i* overflowing, and thorn the visitors, reversing tho practice of, Charles Lamb, are anxious to “go early nnd stay late.” Akmihu Yißoinia.—The Richmond Dispatch states that the (JouimisHioricrs appointed by tho Governor, under the act for arming tho State, have returned to Richmond from a visit of a week to Washington and Harper’s Ferry, undertaken for the purpose of collecting information a* to the bust description of arms. While in Wash ington, they bud repented conferences with the ord.mco corps of the Army and Navy, including Capt. Craig, Maj Ramsey and Capt. Mayradier, of the Army, Captain Dalilgren, of the Navy, all of whom interested themselve* in the object of the commission, and assisted the Commissioners with their advice. The Commissioners found a Board of Officers con veiled by the ,Secretary of War, engaged in testing ull kinds of small arms, ami were advisi and by the ordnance officers of both service* to refrain from extuiinivo purchases of breech-loading arms until further test* bad been applied. The Dispatch says that it is the intention of tha Hoard for thu present to confine their purchases to the Minnie musket and rifle, aud sabres and pistols for cavalry. They intend potting the ar mory in a condition for the manufacture of arms a* *oon a* possible, and to make such purchases of arms as are needed fur iuiuiudiate use, without uunecessary delay. •o**Punch him a caricature representing Louis Napoleon taking lessons from Cobden.

Colquitt: During the fierce struggle of 1868 between Judge Douglas and Mr. Lincoln, I had the pleas ure to receive a letter from you touching tho points iuvolvod in that memorable campaign, aud Rflkiug tuy view* us to the future oourse of Judge Douglas. An intiumto acquaintance with him of twenty-five years duration, und a thorough knowledge of his political opinions uuublod me to *ay then, that there was no more questiou of his fidelity to all of the principles and usages of the Democratic party, and all of the compromieet of the constitution, than there wus of the auuual re turn of the season*. Horn and bred a democrat, no nominee of the party,nor no acknowledged measure of tho party, ha* over failed to receive his cordial .support. On entering Congress in 1848, hi* speech in favor of refunding the fine to Gen. Jackson, gave him a national reputation, and at that very session, he* in cotumou with the South, was openly and ar dently in favor of the annexation of Texas, and of the nomination in 1844 of (Mndidalrs for Presi dent. aud Vico President, favorable to that meas ure; and the result was tbo nomination of those distinguished statesmen, Polk and Dallas, whose administration furnishes ouc of the brightest pages in American history. Duriifg that same *es*ion, too, Judgu Dougin*, in common with the other democratic members from Illinois,, voted for the 21$t rule, excluding from the House abolition petitions. On the introduction of thuWilmut Proviso, by its notorious Pennsylvania mover, Judge Dougia* was one of the first to oppose and deal out heavy blows against it, and foul injustice is done him by those who charge or iutiuiato that be was ever in favor of that measure in any sense what ever. Our Senator* were instructed by the Illi nois Legislature to vote for tho proviso, and any vote that he ever gave on thut side wn-a in obedi* cnee to tho legislative instructions and contrary to his own judgineut aud under protest at the time. In consonance with tho views aud wishoa of the distinguished statesmen and patriota of the Mouth, he introduced the clause in tbe Kansas- Nebraska hill, repealing tbo MDsouri Compromise line, which repeal was then acknowledged on all hand* to be in harmony with tlie Compromise Meapuresof 1850, and to place tho North and the South upon a perfect equality as to person aud property in migrating to tbe Territories of tbe nation, uncontroled by a geographical line, which at the time of its passage, Mr. Jefferson so bitter ly denounced. For this act of even handed jus tice, the abolitionists of every hue and complex ion, thu great array of fruulom, or rather offree dom vhrickire, poured thoir viuls of wrath upon his devoted head, aud burnt Douglas in ufligy, from the shores of Aroostook to the banks of Hie Ohio. Tho Compromise Measures of 1860, including the Fugitive Slave act, and the Texas boundary uot, gave great offeuco to the abolitionists, and the doctrine of uon-iuterveution by Congress with the question of slavery, was autagonistio to and destructive of every prospect for the enforcement of the Wilrnot proviso. It canqot be denied that not only in tbe Cincinnati Convention, but also by the letters und fpeaches of the FresideTit, ; Vice President uud members of tbe Cabinet, was this doctrine fully and unequivocally enunciated in every portion ol the Union. It is now pro posed to submit to the Charleston Convention new tests of party fealty, and to dissolve that body if they are not adopted, even before a can didate is nominated. The disintegration of the democratic party, and even the disruption of iho Uuiou, seem to be ends coveted by some who profess to act with us. This chief object seems to bo to prepare the Southern mind for a Southern Republic, and to induce the fifteen slave States to out of the fTaion.— How different is this udvLc from that given by Jefferson and Mudison in 1701 * and 1700, to re ieve the country of the alien and sedition laws, which they held to bo unconstitutional and op pressive. Their advice wus that tbo strong men of the democratic party in each •State should go iuto the Elate Legislatures ami tight the battle against the federal party of that day, inside, and not outside of the constitution. Their coun sels were heeded, and sterling .Stales Rights reso lutions were passed by the legislatures of Virgin ia and Kentucky, and the result was the repeal ot the odious and unconstitutional “Alien and bedi tiun laws” of the administration of the elder Adam*. Those resolutions are incorporated into and made a part of the Cincinnati platform. It docs seem to me, that their advice wax sound and patriotic, and that it upplies at this day, as well as it did then,to the arbitrary and uneoustitution nl acts of Congress. Our glorious confederacy of sovereign and independent Stutcs, cun be pre served only by a strict adherence to all the re quirements and compromises of tbo constitution. It cannot long survive the destruction of Ftate Rights and Statu sovereignty, and we require all the foruo of the democratic purty liruily united, to hold in check the encroachments of tlio national legislature upon the reserved rights of the States and people. Divided, we fall uu easy prey to the great abo lition republican army, who, like the federalists of old, claim thut Congress is omnipotent, and there fore, has sovereign power to abolish slavery in the Territories, and every foot of soilowued by the government. Is it wise in us, with a foe in full panoply iu the Held, marshalling his force* for battle, planting his batteries and burnishing his bayouets, to stop cavil about uou-essential ar tiules of faith, that were proposed and rejected as party tests, more than ten year* ago, and may be settled t43ii years hence, without damage to the democratic party ? The battle in 1861 was fought in tbo Qalf States by the Democracy, upon the doctrine that thu constitution of the United Stales established slavery in the Territories won by the common blood and treasure of the nation, and the result wus a total route of the Democracy by a combina tion of the elements of opposition as a Union I party.

Some of tho members of tho eomniiftoe from tho South, though holding tfiut dootrino took the ground that, as they had been beaten upon it at home, it was not proper or generous to force It upon tho Froa States, and instead, the Com mittee embodied in the platform tho doctrine of the Kansas-Nebraska bill of “non-interference by Congress with slavery in State and Territory .r in the District of Columbia, as embodying tho only true solution of the slavery question.” The platform presented by the committee on resolutions wus adopted with singular unanimity by tho Convention, ami uieurporntlng a* it docs, the KcstAMcky itiHipVirgmia romdutHraa <of 1798 aud ’99 as ons of UssoumUist ami best plank#is, it does seem to uu*,- brood enough and sound euough ou the question off State rights, to hold ‘ uvory true democrat from tho-&l. Lawrence to the Rio Grande, and from the Atlantic to tho Pa cific. Tho admission of slave States and the rigid en forcement of the fugitive stave law, are the two question* vital to the South, ami also vital to th North because: if we live together under the cov • • nants made by our fathers, it must be on terras of perfect equality, between the States and the people of the State*, and good faith must be scru pulously observed between the several States and the pimple thereof. On these two living and vital quostiuns, is (hero any man iu this broad laud, who would have the ulightcst doubt about the Boundnens of Judgu Dougin*? Does any one sup pose for a uiomeut, that the unconstitutional uud despicable personal liberty law of Massachusetts, und her other kindred abolition sister States, would stand a moment in the way of tho faithful execution of tho fugitivo slave law, cost what it might ofthe blood or treasure of the nation, If he were President ? Or that another State like Mis souri, would stuud piteously at tbo door of Con gress, asking for admission, and be rejected be came her coastitution tolerated slavery, without his using all tho iufiueuco and uppliance* of his position, to usher her into the sisterhoodof Mutes? Deeply impressed, us tho North-West is, with the •belief that Judge Douglas is the man for the hour, and thut be is certain to hu elected, if nominated with thu approbation of the South, yet her De mocracy would not press him upon tho Conven tion, if they did not know, beyond all question ami all cavil, thut be is sound upon all the great issues which have divided the Democratic party I fmm its opponents, from the foundation of the government to the prcscut day. Under his ad ministration no forays would bo made with im punity, by Abolitionists into slave States for iu- Hiirrertionary nnd treasonable purposes, and no foreign Territory desiring to come to us, would ho rojucted, because of its tolerutiou of slavery.— Tbe evidence* of the popularity of Judge Doug las in the North-West aro overwhelming, and it cannot be disguised that the toiling million are for him, and that his nomination would work like a ebarm upon tbe masses, lii* friends would go into the campaign with a confidence of success, and they would contest every inch of ground in every North-Western State and would carry tbe most of them. Tho Republican* would rogard his nomination as tbo “bund writing upon tbe wall,” Their presses for tbo last eighteen months I have teemed with abuse of him, and have been freighted with arguments 7 to prove that ho is tbe weakest man wo could run. Their object i* mani fest. Bold, ardent, talented and self reliant, Judge Dougia* commenced the campaign of 1858 in opposition to Mr. Lincol, nwith no *ympathy from a democratic administration; his friends e\ery where removed from office, and bis personal enemies placed iu their steud ; nnd with this tire iu front and fire in thu reur, he routed the hosts of abolitionism aud black republicanism in the most terrific Statu canvass that ha* ever been made since tbe existence of the government.— Jefferson und Jackson, mud Folk aud Fierce, and Buchanan, have each, iu turn, been traduced and villifiud by their opponent*, but it hits been re served for tbe Abolition nr Black Republican par ly to exhaust upon Judge Douglas the vocabulary of billiugsgate, in lerm* more gross and offensive than wus over before applied to any prominent member of the Democratic party. They of course know who they dread most. In 1852, tbe De mocracy of Illinois cast their vote in convention lor that favorite sou of the South, Col. Davis, of Miss., for Vice-Frosident, and that too, when bo was fresh from the canvass for Governor in oppo sition to the compromise measures of 1850, which were popular iu nil the North-Western States. In 1866 the vote of Illinois was east in the Cincin nati! Convention for that noble champion of Southern rights, the lamented Quitman, for Vice- President, and it may be regarded us a fixed fact that In the Charleston Convention, the Illinois delegated will bo lor “harmony, compromise and eoneudsion, everything for measures aud nothing for men/’ in order that we may have candidates for President and Vice-President, acceptable to the North and South, who ir. November next, will crush upon the wheel that party, whose first and last principle i* undying hatred aud opposition to Southern institutions and Southern rights. All men who desire to see the Constitution preserved h* it is, and the Union continued ’under the Con stitution as our fathers made it, should be willing to make sacrifices of personal preference, in order to defeat a party whoso acknowledged leader proclaims that there is an irrepressible conflict between the free and slave States, and whose disciples, Hinton Helper and the late Os awata mie Brown, and bis confederates in crime, propose (o abolish slavery iu the States by fraud or force, a* occasion might require. That African slavery will exist in the Southern Stales so long as the people of each Statu deslro it, I regard oh a fixed laut,and all outside interference, whether direct or indirect, by individual* or political organiza tions, tends to impair the stability and integrity of the Uuiou, and must be met and crushed out by theme who desire its perpetuity, or else in time it will subvert the government itself.
