Death ok Cuarlbr Goodyear.—Charles
Goodyear, the iuventor of the art of vulcanixinc
India-rubber, says an exchange, died in New
York on the Ist Inst., after an illnessffour weeks.
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.
Presentation to “Tom.”—The negro “Tom,”
the blind pianist, was lately presented with a

The proceeds of the Concert which tbc pianist

23’ Thu New York Tribune thinks the Presi
dential contest is between Breckinridge and Liu
coin—that they may go to the House of Repre
sentatives, and that Gen. Lane will be the Presi

it appeals warmly to tbc pcoplu of the free labor
states to support Old Abe and Hamlin.

Bre< kin ridge and Lank in Louisiana.—
The New York Day Book says: A subscriber
writing to us from New Orleans, says that the
nows of tbe nomination of Breckinridge and
Lan* is highly gratifying to tbo Democracy of
Louisiana. He 6ayu there will be three electoral
tickets, but Douglas will uot carry a pariah in
the State against either Breckinridge of Bell.
Death of I.T. Cault.—We regreat to en

me raptured Africans
The Key West, (Fla.,) correspondent ofthe
Picayune, under date tho 21st ult., writes tbe fol
lowing paragraph as to the condition ofthe Afri
cans recently captured from the slaver*. He
says
“Thj three cargoes of negroes aro getting along ■
very well ; the reduced and attenuated by disease i
drop off, and up to thin date, 100 have been bari- ;
ed. I learn to-day that, the ship South Shore *
sailed from New York for this place, with the
view of deporting theeo people back to Africa.
With tbe policy or even humanity of this act, I *
say nothing; it is the policy of the country, and ;
therefore not to be gainsayed j yet this mooted
question will come up Again, doubtless, under ,
new phases.”
Senator Sewaed.—The Detroit Tribune pub
lishes the following letter from Senator Seward,
in response to an invitation to speak in that Stale j
daring the present campaign
Auburn, Juuo 2?, Jfcfiu.
Mr Dear Sir: Your kind letter awakens sen- i
tiraents which I will not undertake to express.
My heart overflows with gratitudo and affection
to my friends and theWi.ole Republican people of
Michigan. To tbe full extent of my ability, their
wishes shall always be to me ns effective us a
command. By-aud-by, after some respite nt
h me—from which I have been absent, except in
a few stolen visits, eighteen months—-1 will meet
vou as you propose. But, in tho meantime, do
not let your committee wait for me. Let them
proceed to organize and concentrate the energies
of the Republicans under the leaderehip of the
worthy and distinguished candidates approved
by tho Convention at Chicago, assured that l
•bould feel it a calamity, and almost a reproach
to myself throughout ray remaining life, if any
oneof tbe band of loyal patriot*, with whom l
have acted no long, should fall back from hi* ad
vanced position in the coming engagement, the
first ono I am sure of a long scrie* of natiouai
triumphs of our righteous cause.
Very faithfully, yours,

An ArracTiJia EriTAPH.—Wo take from an

Toe Guatemala Mission.—-Lt was recently
stared that tho Senate committee on foreign re
lations bad not even reported back for action the
nomination of Mr. Church well, of Tend., ns Min
ister to Guatemala. Tho reason now assign® I
for this is that Mr. Churchwell bad declined the
appointment The mission is still vacant. It
does not appear to be very invitiug, as two min
isters to that republic have resigned within the
last three years. —.Var. A r ir.
Our cotemporary of the Morning News is mis

“Resolved, That all potition.-. n-.cincriole, aud

Among tho ayes we find John Bill.

Against this resolution Mr. 801 l voted, us did
John Qiincey Adams and Joshua It. Gidding*.
It will be sefcn tint the rcsolatloß* are identi

you will examine its foundation, we believe you
1 will abandon it. lly tho “Territorial legislation
j of 1530.” wo presume the Enquirer refers to the
bills establishing Territorial governments for
New Mexico and Utah. In each us those bills
I tho clause conferring power upon tho Territorial
j legislature is in these words; “Tho Legislative
power of the To;titer} shall extend to all rigbt
; ful subjects of legislation, consistent with the
■ Constitution of tho United States, and the provi*-
I ion* of this act.” Now these are the identical
vorvla which are employed in refereuc© to the
same subject in the Kansas Nebraska bill, and
i yet tbe Inquirer contends that there is squatter
! sovereignty In the last und protection in th© first.
i That it u.t - not tho biU-.ntion of Hie compromise

I hive ran son, tho attempt to prove that Mr. 801 l
favors tho doctrine of protection and opposes

tho Territorial legislation of 18&0. Is supremely

At Homi:, July 9th, 1800.
Dear Sir In my previous communication from
the Warm Springs, tho events most interesting to
those concerned wero brought down to the morn
ing of the 3th, and during that day nothing
transpired out of tho usual order of the encamp
ment.
As the target practice had been so unsatisfac
tory on the -Ith—the men shooting worse than on
any previous occasion t’spt. Colquitt determin
ed to have another trial, iu order to prove to the
viaitor i that such ordinary firing was quite an
unumal occurrence A magnificent silver cake
banket, worth $25, was presented by the Captain
as the prize t<> be contended for. The firing be
gnu, and according to the most accurate tneut
urci tent, (lain sorry to lie unable to furnish
you py) the shooting • uijnot b© surpassed by
any corps in the country, at fbe distance of 00
yards off-hand. Tho basket was w nby an av
erage of less than three inches.
An incident, unique hi iis conception, which
caused much merriment to all assembled, was,
that twoof th most beautiful mid accomplished
young ladies in tbe Stale, volartarlly offered
thamsclvea :h prizes. You may be sure Ibut tbe
competition in thi* Instance was of the most ex
citing description. Tho bright ant beautiful

After the firing, the company was marched to
tho ball-room, where the prices wero distributed.
i The address was delivered ly John il. Seals,

classic and poetic illustrations, an 4 delivered iu a
style and manner highly felicitous.
Oar last dinner at tho Springs was h happy re

son and a flow of soul.” Tho different response*
to th© numerous complimentary sentiments offer
ed, were given in tbc happiest manner. KjH:eches,
toasts and songs wore given with point and re
! calved with demonstrations of applause.
It is impossible for mo even to giro an analysis
: of the many good things said on thi* joyous oc
casion. It is enough to ray, that tho suntiments
1 and speeches of all wero approprate and pointed.
; I have only time and space to mention those of

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.

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.

such a man us John Bell, of Tenuespec, for the
first office in the government. Bis endorsement
by a body professing hostility to squatter sover
eignty, ns did the recent convention at Helms, is
simply ridiculous. The most abominable practi
cal triumph of tbe infamous doctrine was tbe ud
mission of California, againri which almost the
whole South, without distictinction of party vo
ted. Among the lew, tho very few exceptions,
was Mr. John Bell, who recorded his nutne in its
fuvor. This single out should oe enough to cut
him off from all Southern support. It was an
outrage which, in tho judgment of tbe Southern

Wasuinuton, June 30, 1800.
Sn I have the honor t>* m knowledge the
receipt id the couimunieatii u you make in behalf
of tbo Democratic National Convention, In which
you inform me that on the 23d lost., 1 was unani
mously nominated by that body art tho candidate
of the Democratic purty lor the office of Vice-
President ofdho United Sluter, with the request
that I shall accept tho nomination.
The Platform adopted, and of which you en
close me a copy, incut* witti my hearty approval,
as it embodluH what I have been contending for
a* the only means iff stopping sectional agitation
by securing to all equality and constitutional
rights, the ‘tenia! of which has led to the present
unhappy condition of public affairs.
Compromises of comditutional principles ar©
ever dangerous, and l am r<\joico<l that the truo
Democracy has seen fit to plant a firm foot on
tho rock of truth, and to giv e the people an op
pnrtuuity to vindicate their lovo of justice and
fraternal regard for each other's right,*.
Non-intervention on the subject of slavery, 1
may emphatically say, is thocnrdinnl maxim of
the Democracy -non-intervention by Congress
and non-intervention by Territorial Legislatures
as it is fully stated in the first resolution of the
adopted Platform. In vuin should we declare
the former without insisting upon the latter; be
cause, to permit Territorial Legislatures to pro
Dibit or establish slavery, or by unfriendly fegis
tation to invalidate pioperty, would be granting
! powers to the creature or agent, which, it is ad
mitted, do not appertain to the principal, or the
power that create?; beridoa which it would he
fostering an element ff agitation in the Terri to
iv that must necessarily extend to Congress and
the people ©f ail tho States.
If tho Constitution establishes the right of ev
ery citizen to tutor the common Territory with
whatever property he legally possesses, it neces
sarily devolves on the Federal Government the
duty to protect this right of tho citiaen whenev
er or wherever assailed or infringed ’i he dent
oeratiu party honorably meets ibis agitating
.question, which is threatening to sever and de
stray this brotherhood of States. It docs not
propose to litigate for tho extension of slavery
nor for its restriction, but to give to each State
and to every citizen all that our forefathers pro
posed to give, namely: perfect equality o l rights;
and then to commit to the people, to climate and
to soil, tbo determination as to ibokind of insti
tutions best fitted to their requirements in their
constitutional limil-. and declaring, as a funda
mental maxim, that the people of a territory can
only establish or prohibit ,la very when they
come to form a Constiution, preparatory to their
admission as a Bint© into the Union.
If, happily, our prinoiples shall prevail, an
era of pouco und harmony will be restored to our
distracted country, and no more shall we be
troubled with Hi© agitation of this dangerous
question, because it will bo removed as well from
the Territorial Legislatures as from the balls of
Congress-—when we shall he troo to turn our at
tention to more useful issues, promotive of our
growth in national greatness.
Our Union must b© preserved. But this cun
•only bo done by maintaining tbe Conatitutionjin
violatv hi all it provisions and guarantees. The
judicial authority, as provided by the Conetitu
tion must ho sustained, and its decisions implic
itly obeyed as well in regard to the rights of pro
perty in the Territories us in all other matters.
II oping for success, atm trusting in the truth
nu-ij. -nee iff he jiiiiodpLca of our party, and in
that Divine Providence that has watched over
us aud made us one of tbc great nation* of th©
earth, and that we inuy continue to merit Divine
protection, l cheerfully accept tho nomination so
unanimously conferred on me and cordially on
dorse tho platform adopted by tho Convection.
I have the honor t<> he, dear sir, with much re
rtpect, your friend and obedient servant,

Political
Bai.timohk. July 7.— The Breckinridge und
Lniic ratification meeting took place lust night
in Monument (square. Nearly 0,000 persons
were present, oud it is considered n large de
monstration. Much enthubiasm was manifested.
James Mason Campbell presided, aud the audi
ence was comported mostly of our be*t citizen*,
representing iho bunincs,. interests. Humphrey
Marshall, <ff Kuutuoky, was present, and made a
conservative speech. Ex-Gov. Lowe, Mr. Meek
of Ala., Senator Wig la 11 of Texas, and Mr. Ste
phen* of Yu., also -poke. Resolutions strongly
condemning tho Front Street Theatre nomina
tion*, repudiating “Squatter Sovereignty,” and
affirming the proceedings, nominations aud plat
form ofthe Maryland lu-titute Democracy,were
(YToved. No concession or compromise is asked
irum tlo-Dougins men. The speakers all advo
cated tbe integrity ofthe Union.
*n Important (offon Derision
A ea-u has re cully been decided in the Fifth
District court of New Orleans, in which cotton
dealer* are int-Ti-ltd. If was shown that Buck
nor, Bttmton A Newman sold to lieluny, Rice A
Cos., on fho <Hh of March, Drill, nine hundred and
and eighty bales id cotton at nine nnd-u
----half cent* per pound. Wheu the cotton was hi
Hpected one hundred nod eighty eight bale* were
rejected, as mixed uud unmerchantable, accord
ing rat he sample* by which the lot was purcha*
ed rJrie plaintiffs took back the mixed bale*,
and substituted merchantable cotton of as good
quality ns the original samples called for. Tbc
defendant* refused the entire lot, so inndo up,
rind tbo plaintiffs sold it to others, for loss than
the first Halo to defendants, and then brought a
suit to recover the deficiency.
Judge Lgglert m decided thut th plaintiff*
could not sustain an action against tbo dolcnd
aut*,beciiu*e the sal© was tinctured with fraud,and
the oiler to substitute good cotton for the mixed
could not be binding on tho defendants, unless
they had agreed to it : thut the plaintiffs, when
they t .ok back the on© hundred and eighty-three
bale* of mixed cottons, legally removed all obli
gut ions on tbe part of tho defendant* to retain the
other portion. The sale consisted of nine hun
dred and eighty bales, and the lot delivered must
be considered tbo lot first ogreed upon aud sold.
-“the original and tbe uhntittited cotton estab
lishcd ono or two things, either that there origin
ally whs no sul© to the defendants, or if there had
been one, the plaintiff* had subsequently annull
ed iho safe, and rosumod tho Litlu to and pos
* rsion of the cotton.” The Judge, in eonelusiuß
saul “Th* plaintiff*, in my opinion, have failed
in making out a legal doomed against the defend
ant*, and must pay the cost* of their suit.”
