PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION DAY.
Fort Pallet, July 11, i860.
Mr. Editor: Will you please state, through
the Daily, upon what day the Presidential elec
tion cornea off and also if it is in every State
the same day t I have been requested to drop
this inquiry to you.
Not*.—Congress passed an act in 1845, “to
establish a uniform time for holding elections
for elector! of President and Vice President in
all the States of tho Union.” This act fixes the
election on the “Tuesday next alter the first
Monday in the month of November”—which
this year is tho 6th day of the month. All tho
electors must be chosen or appointed on that
day except in case of the filling of vacancies in
the Electoral College, or where a State has tailed
to effect an election on the day designated.—Ed.
Breckinridge's Letter of Acceptance.
Rightly docs the New York Journal of Com
merce characterize it as “a noble letter, full of
patriotic sentiments,” and one “which will en
dear its author more than ever to the affections
of the American people.” * Further-more, it
will “squelch” at once, all the small talk about
the Squatter Sovereignty opinions of Sir. Breck
inridge. It harmonizes precisely with his def
inition of bis own position before the Legisla
ture of Kentucky last winter, ns quoted by ns
some days ago, and it is.a statement of a true
constitutional position which is unassailable.—
What .Southern freeman then, will hesitate to
rally with this gallant young son of Kentucky
under the broad banner of “equal States and
equal rights.”

Dr.u: Sin: I have your letter of the 23d ult.,
by which I am officially informed of my nomi
nation for tho office of President of the United
States by the Democratic National Convention,
lately assembled at Baltimore.
Tho circumstances of this nomination will
justify me in referring to its personal aspect.
I have not sought nor desired to be placed
before the country for the office of President
When my name was presented to tho Conven
tion ot Charleston, it was withdrawn' by a
friend, in obedience to ror expressed wishes.
My views had not changed when the Conven
tion rc-asscmblcd at Baltimore, and when I
heard of tho differences which occurred there,
my indisposition to be connected prominently
with the canvass was confirmed, and expressed
to many friends.
Without disenssing tho occurrences which
preceded the nominations, and which ore, or
soon will he, well understood by tho country,
I have only to say that I approved, as just and
neoosmiy to tho preservation of the nation at
organization and the sacred right of represen
tation, tho action of the Convention over which
you continued to preside,- and thus approving
it, and having resolved to sustain it, I feel that
it does not become me to select the position
I shall occupy, nor to shrink front the respon
sibilities of the post to which I have been as
signed. Accordingly I accept the nomination
from a sense of public duty, and, as I think,
uninfluenced in any degree by tho allurements
of ambition.
I avail myself of this occasion to say that
the confidence in my personal and public char
acter implied by the action of the Convention
will always be gratefully remembered;' and it
is but just also to my own feelings to express
mv gratification at the association of my name
with that of my friend, Gen. Lane, a'patriot
and a soldier, whoso great services in the field
and in council entitle him to the gratitude and
confidence of his countrymen.
The resolutions adopted by tho Convention
have my cordial approval. They are just to all
parts of the Union—to all our citizens, native
and naturalized, and they form a noble policy
for the Administration.
The question touching the rights of persons
and property, which have of late, been much
discussed, find in these resolutions a constitu
tional solution. Our Union is a cpnfcderacy
of equal, sovereign States, for the purposes
enumerated in the Federal Constitution.—
Whatever the common (jovernmcnrifoTitsTh
trust for all tfoo States must.be enjoyed equally
by each. It controls Territories in trust tor ail-
the States. Nothing less than sovereignty can
destroy or impair the rights of persons or prop
erty. The Territorial Governments arc subor
dinate and temporary, and-not sovereign; hence
they cannot destroy nr impair Uk>.rights of per
sons or property. While they continue to ho
Territories they arc under the control of Con
gress, but the Constitution nowhere "confers on
any branch of the Federal Government the
power to discriminate against the rights of the
State* or the property of their citizens in the
Territories. It follows that the citizens of all
the States may enter tho Territories of the
Union with their property, of whatever kind,
and enjoy it during territorial condition, with
out let or hindcrance, either by Congress or
by the subordinate Territorial Governments.
These principles flow directly from the ab
sence of sovereignty in the Territorial Govern
ments and from the equality or the States.—
Indeed, t)>ey are essential to that equality which
is and ever has been the vital principle of our
constitutional Union. They have been settled
judicially, and legislatively settled are sustained
L»y right and reason. They rest on the rock
of tho Constitution; they will preserve the
Constitution; they will preserve the Union.
It is idle to attempt to smother these great
issues, or to misrepresent them by the use of
nrtisan phrases which arc misleading and de-
usivc. The people will look beneath auch ex-
iressions as “Intervention,” “Congressional
Have Code,” and the like, and will penetrate to
the real question! involved. The friends of con
stitutional equality do not and never did demand
a " Congressional slave code,” nor any other
“code," in regard to proprety in the Territories.
They hold the doctrine of non-intervention by
Congrww or by • Territorial Legislature, cither
to establish or prohibit slavery: but they as-

Boldness and Confidence of the llejmblicon's
—The Democratic Dirisiono in the Forth
—The Great Eastern in the Chesapeake.
It is generally remarked in regard to the pres-
■ent presidential canvass, tliat it is attended with
very little excitement or enthusiasm in any
part of tho country. In tho Southern States
there is practically but one party—the Breckin
ridge and Lane party—the party rallied upon
tho doctrine of State equality in the Territories
which, as President Buchanan strongly insisted
in his speech tho other evening, “is a principle
which the Southern States can never abandon
without self-degredation.” This question has
obscured all others in regard to men or politics
in the South. So there can be no excitements
there, where all are of one and the same mind.
In the. Northern States there is no feeling on
the subject of the election, as far as the repub
licans are concerned. The nomination of Lilt-
coin and Hamlin fell flat It created no enthu
siasm, any where—nothing of the feeling tliat
would have been created by the nomination of
Mr. Seward. Then, again, the republicans ex

QUEEN A'ICTORLt’S LETTER. .
A Washington correspondent of the Herald,
says of this document:
You will have received, while I write, the
letter addressed by the President to Queen
ATctoria, in relation to the visit of the Prince
of Wales, and the gracious reply of her Majes
ty. The Queen was evidently gratified by tho
President’s invitation. The circumstance of
Die Prince dropping all royal state as soon as
be leaves the British dominions greatly disem
barrasses the matter, and there need lie no dif
ficulty now in suitably entertaining him as the
Baron Renfrew, like any other foreign noble
man, but with the warmer friendliness our
people cannot but feel towards the eldest son
of a most worthy sovereign, and the heir ap
parent to the throne of the freest monarchy in
the world. Her Majesty’s letter, in own hand
writing, which is free and fiowing, is graceful
ly and cordially expressed. The black edged
paper showed that the Court was in monming
at its date, June 22, for a relative of the Prince
Consort. Public curiosity is now on ihe gui
rice as to where Lord Renfrew (for his Royal
Highness is to be “dropped”) is to be domicil
ed ; and no decision is as yet made.

diction. The only lo^QlgMtw to l&iawOuU
seem to he to claim sovereign power for the
Territories, or to deny that tho Constitution
recognizes property in the services of negro
slaves, or to deny that such property can exist
Inexorable logic, which woHcb it* steady way
through clouds and passion, compels the coun-
try to meet the issue. There is no evasive mid
dle ground. Already the signs multiply of a
fanatical and growing party which denies that
under the Constitution, or by any other law,
slave property can exist, and ultimately the
struggle must come between this party and the
National Democracy, sustained by all the other
conservative dements in the Union.
I think it will be Impossible for n candid
mind to discover hostility to the Union or a
taint of sectionalism in the resolutions adopted
bv the Convention. The Constitution and the
Union repeso on tbs riqiiality at ttra'States,
which lie! like a broad foundation underneath
our whole political structure. As I con-true

ask my good friends of tho secession party,
what have you made ? and what will the South
gain by this poor farce, which before God, I
behove will be changed into a fearful tragedy ?
You havo by your course, letdown the barriers
for the easy and triumphant entry of the Black
Republican host, into the citadel. Lincoln's
election you have made sure. AVhcn he and

backed by the -Army, the Navy and tlic Trca-

you, will you look to Breckinridge to marshal
tho South and lead tho way ? Do you expect
him to como to the rescue, and bring his Ken
tuckians to your aid, even through the travail
of disunion." No, neTer—you know full well,
he is a devotee of the Union. You understand
that his beloved Kentucky is divided in itoin-
: -v-t, and affections between the North and
fiH-SwlBij but as • border State, goes first,
last, and all the time for tl»e Union. You cer
tainly cannot have forgotten, that in nullifica
tion times, the Kentuckian* implored General
Jackson, to let them whip South Carolina out

done, and whnt havo you gained ? I will briefly
tell you.
You have demoralized the party of the South.
There can be no doubt of the fact that tbe dem
ocratic party has been for long years the party
of Mr South. It has so been generally regar
ded—the harden of opposition toitattiic North
has been on tlic score of its alliance with the
South and slavery. Abroad, too; it has been so
regarded. D’Israeli, some years back, when at
the head of the English Administration, spoke
of it as “the Southern party at once supporting
and supported by slavery.” No candid man
can deny tliat its power has been wielded by

EXECUTION *OF HARDEN. .**
At just half-past ono o’clock thc solemn, si
lent procession of tho sheriff,-Harden with his
arms pinioned and the* halter about his neck,
thc clergy and the physicians came forth from
the cell and ascended the scaffold. Harden
seemed as calm and composed as during his ■
trial. He was dressed in tho clothes he wore
during his confinement All knelt, thc specta
tors removing their hats; and Harden drop
ping upon one knee, his lace turned npwanls,
uttered in a low murmur an ejaculatory pray
er, beseeching God to forgive him and to bo
with him, and calling upon Jesus Christ to
save him in Heaven. The silence which pre
vailed was sudden and painfully intense The
pntjx-t- ocoup/eil hut two or three moments,
and then, rising, Harden stood facing tbe sher- .
iff upon the fatal drop, and tho noose was un
coiled from his neck and attached to the iron
hook pendant from' the rope connecting with
the- pulley. Standing in the centre of the drop,
ho gave directions to thc sheriff, that upon a
preconcerted signal the rope should be cut;
and then turning’ half round he shook hands
witli his -weeping friends, and calling each One
by name said, very distinct 1 }-, but in low tones,
Goodbye.”
.a A black glazed'cap was then drawn over his
face, the" handkerchief with which the signal
was to bq given was placed in his right hand,
and the knot adjusted under his left ear. Thus
pinioned and masked, he stood perfectly erect
and without tlic slightest perceptible tremor.
upon me! Lord Jesus save me in Heaven 2”
Then for an instant ho looked firmly and si
lently into thc dark face of death—the white
handkerchief fluttered, like a wounded bird,
to tho ground—the drop-fell with a dull thud—
the spectators recoiled and closed their eyes
as from the effect of a heavy blow, and the un
fortunate man hung suspended by the neck.—
For a moment he hung perfectly still, with
limbs separated and extended, then drew him- -
self up with a strong contraction of tho mus
cles, his pinioned hand strove to reach thc cord
which was choking out his life, his limbs were
slowly bent and as slowly relaxed seven or
eight times ; his body swayed backwards and
forwards, and, without a moan or a single mur
mur, his spirit passed to God, who gave it. As
if his death had been telegraphed mysteriously
to the crowd outside, the dead silence was brok
en by loud cries of “He’s gone”—“Good bye,
Harden,” and these were the last sounds which
broko the dreadful ringing in the sufferer’s ears.
Amid the most perfect stillness in thc yard,
strangely relieved against the murmurs outside,

dy hung perfectly still, the head drooped
the shoulder, and almost touching the
spectators, the corpse, stiff'and stark, swayed
noiselessly to and fro. The drop fell at precise
ly twenty-five minutes of two, and in three
minutes all struggles ceased. Tn about five
minutes the physicians in attendance pronunc-
ed life extinct, at about twelve minutes of two
o’clock all pulsation had ceased. The body
hung about thirty-two minutes, and the coffin,
of wainut, trimmed with silver embroidery, and
bearing a simple plate with the inscription
‘Jacob S. Harden,” was brought beneath the
jdlows, and the corpse was detached from thc
tope and carried into thc cell. The neck of the
corpse was but 'slightly discolored, and the
face exhibited no traces of agony or suffering.
Tho body was bandaged to prevent an effu
sion of blood, and was immediately placed in
its "coffin and carried through files of soldiery
to the open hearse which awaited it outside of
the jail, and which immediately started for the
residence of Harden’s parents, about eighteen
miles distant. The crowd seemed to hare lost
all sense of reverence, and with shouting and
laughter, eagerly pressed towards the hearse.
Ex-Postmaster Fowler.—Thc New York
Tribune says:
Wc are pleased to learn that the Fowler com
mittee, consisting of Messrs. Isaac Bell, nirnm
Cranston, Elijah F. Purdy, Dr. Crane, and Dr.
W. W. Sanger, now holding their weekly ses
sions at the New York Hotel, are doing even
bctter'tliau they had reason to expect Already
they have collected over §60,000 towards reim
bursing thc government for Mr. Fowler's defi
ciency. We are informed that numbers of thc
persons to whom Mr. F. in his palmy days lent
large sums of money, without taking any me
morandum or written acknowledgment, have
generously come forward and paid into the
iiands oftho committee the entire amounts due.
This makes us think more of human nature.
