Mr. Goodyear was horn in New Haven, Decem ber 20, 1800. The disease wh ch terminated his life, is said to have had its origin in the severe and long continued privation and anxieties whic h he suffered, and struggles which he made in or der to perfect and introduce into public use the great invention, to which his whole life since 1830; the date of the discovery, Ims boon dev;-ted.

An revoir, L-LICK. speech of Mr. Breckinridge Accepting the Nomination The following is a full report of the speech madebv Mr. Breckinridge at tho serenade given him at Washington, tho night after tho nomina tion : t'eUoic Citizens: I feel deeply this manifesta tion of your friendly regard, und I accept it, as a proof that you approvo of tbo proceedings ut Bal timore, by which tho National Democratic Con vention presented my name, and that of my gal lant and honorcvl friend, Joseph Lane, for the offices of President and Vice-President of tho United State". That heart would bo cold and in sensible indeed which did not throb with grati tude for such a manifestation of the confidence of hia countrymen. I feel it, and feel it deeply, and do not affect to conceal if. At the sume time,and in tho presence of this assembly, it mny not bo indelicate or Improper for me to sav that it is a position which 1 did not seek,and when, although I accepted it promptly, yet did so with regret. I have seen, as you have.soon, with feelings of pain, divisions and disturbance* which have occurred in the Democratic organization, and bad hoped to tho very last for tho harmony of the whole, and strove to bring it about. It was not tuv pur pose at any time that my name should be for an instant lathe way of universal harmony. \ said so to ray friends ; they knew it and acted upon my wishes. 1 well know that there were many gentlemen North and South, whose knowledge, experience and ability, fitted them for such a trust. But, without referring in detail to the proceedings at Baltimore, I have only to say that the Convention which assembled at Maryland In stitute was composed, in mv opinion, of the Na tional Democracy of tbe United States. 1 ap prove of the proceedings that took place, believ ing that they were necessary, and said to my friends, “If, onhapp’ly, it did become necessary, l would stand by and sustain them.” And while [ never desired to head the movement, yet it is not for one who acts with his friends, and is wil ling to sustain them, to ehooso the position ho will occupy iu it. And when I discovered, though with regret, that my name hnd been presented to the country, it did not take me long to determine that I world not meanly abandon thus© with whom I was determined to mi. Fellow citizens: 1 understand that apprehen sions are entertained in some highly reapeotable quarter*, that tbe National Democratic party is a party of disunion and intends to break up the Union of these States. 1 cannot bring myself but to think that these fours are utterly ground less. 1 have read tho resolutions adopted by that Gon \cniion with a great deal of care, and I must say that l nee nothing in the character of tbe gentle men who composed tbe Convention, in the reso lotions adopted by it, and- -if you will permit me to say it—in the character of the nominees, to justify sush an apprehension. Instead of look ing to the breaking up of tho Confederacy, 1 ob serve that one of tho resolutions seems to con template the extending of it—lengthening its cords and extending its boundaries. 1 observe that anothor of those resolutions, iustoud of at tempting to break up the Union seems tu pledge the power of n groat organization to unite by all constitutional means, its distant parts more close ly by iron bauds, and hope this trust will be speedily and grandly realized. I see nothing sectional in tb© position of the delegations there. Delegates from ulmostall tho,States of the Union, delegates particularly from our gallant young sisters, California and Oregon, upon th© Pacific slope. Wliut interest hnvo they in being section al ! There they were, far removed from domes tic strife, far removed even from the strifes of the great valley of the Mississippi—these two young Stales looking across prairies, and over cloud-top ped mountains with impartial affection, orbit red this disagreement, anil said, “Do justice, give equality, atul lot there bo fraternal brotherhood.” It is true that on© of tbe resolutions contemplates tho equality of the States in all th© common Ter ritoriesof tho Union, ami in all other respects un dor our common Constitution. But who so blind as not to know that this doctrine of equality of the States lias been tho sheet anchor of our peace and safety, while upon tho departures from that doctrine alone have been brought, about all the civil disorders. No man is a dinunionist who wants to preserve the Union upon tho principles of the Constitution und the equality of the Stares. Our peace has never been disturbed, except when tho principles embodied in these resolutions have been departed from. Fellow-citizens, allow uie to say another word in regard to myself. When tho convention aoleoted me as one of its candidates, looking at my bum ble! antecedents and the place of my habitation, it gave to tbe couutry, as fur as I was concerned, a personal and geographical guarantee that its interest was in the Union. But, fellow-citizens, one word inn re and then ( tun done. I ought to add that 1 believe I can make (he same statement for my distinguished associate upon this ticket. I It sumetiuies happens to every man to bo placed j in u position where, however blameless himself, j and reluctant he muy be to act, he can take no . course that regrets do not meet him ou every ; side—perhaps tho execration of those whose ‘ good opinion he would desire. But wo must bo j prepared to meet such occasions in this life, aud j all tliutu friend cun do under such circumstances ] is to move forward with dignity, decorum, with- ; out passion, without rosununenU und with calm j und unfaltering step. It is my purpose, so fur as 1 am able, to pur j sue that course. I concede tu others the sail)© { good motives und purposes which I cairn for my self anef my tr ends. Then without acrimony, without Hiiiim >'h\ I accept the nomination which ! the National Convention bus tendered me. with out its having been sought, and shall quietly, firmly, and Iho ur ©vely moot the expectations they have done um tbc honor to indulge. I cher ish the hope, fellow-citizens, that brighter limes aro before us; and that the same good Provi dence which has guarded this Confederacy ever since its existence, will lead us out of these civil disorders, and in his own good time to conduct 1 us to tranquility and peace.

THURSDAY, .H 1,1 12, ISOO. Uppotiltloit Nailonullxm The usuuiption that the “Opposition” party i* tho only “National” party in existence is ui\- cqualed in audacity and impudence except by tho Hssortion that John 801 l and Edward ICverett are iu favor of extending the protection of the gov eminent to slave property in the Territories. That iit has some claim to “Nationality” we will not i deny, but it is of such c nnicter, and is based upon such a cause as should make every Southern man disown it. Whatever support that ticket will derive from the North will he furnished on the ground of its acceptability to the freosuil do ment in that section. This element is not unfre qucully dignified by the Southern Opposition press with the uppuliation ol “conservative,” but it,no less than the abolition party proper, is distinguished by its hostility to slavery and a determined opposition to the expansion of'South ern institutions. The platform on which they stand is broad enough to hold the most fanatical ; abolitionist in the whnl© country. The Uepuhli ! can party at Chicago expressed its reverence for the l'nion and the Constitution, and, u a conse quence, they must be in favor ©f tho enforcement of laws passed in conformity to the latter when subjfiotod to the abolition oor struetion. Equali ty in the common domain, the right of the Hotith ern slaveholder to enter tho Territories of the Union and enjoy his property without hindcr unco or molestation by squatter legislation is th© great question which conocrns the Southern peo ple. and neither the Opposition platform nor th© record of it? nominees furnish any. clue to their position upon it. Bo long ns the Opposition par ty fails to number in its ranks n solitary individu al in the Northern States who is in fuvor of the doctrine of “protection,” so long will li u highest boast ha its greatest condemnation.
