TUESDAY MORNING, BEPT- 18, 1860-
OPINIONS OF DOUGLAS AND JOHNSON.
Resolved, That it is in accordance with the true
interpretation of the Cincinnati platform that dur
ing the existence of the. Territorial Govern
ment the measure of restriction, whatever it mav
be imposed by the Fedeial Constitution on the |
power of the Territorial Legislature over the sub- j
feet of the domestic relations, as the same has
been or shall hereafter be finally determined by
the Supreme Court of the United States, should be
respected by all good citiEeos, and enforced with
promptness aud fidelity by every branch of the
General Government.
The above, on motion of Gov. Wicklifl'e, of
Louisiana, was unanimously adapted by the Na
tional Democratic convention at Baltimore ; and is
the platform on which the supporters of Douglas
and Johnson stand in regard to the Territorial
question.
“I believe that the safety, the peace, the higb
est interest of the country, require the preservation
intact of the Democratic party on its old creed and
its old platform. Whenever we depart from that
platform, which was adopted unanimously, we
never will get un nimitv iu the formation of an
other”—Stephen A. Douglsu.
“Os ail the mad schemes that, ever could be
devised by the South, or by the enemies of the
South, that which recognises the right of Congress
to touch the institution of slavery either iu States ‘
or Territories, beyond the single case provided in
the Constitution for the rendition of fugitive slaves,
is the most fatal.”— Stephen. A. Douglas
“I have great difficulty with my political friends
in harmonising upon platforms, and have teudered
them various propositions. I hare tendered them
the Florida platform ot 1347, aud they would not
take it; the Georgia plattorm of 1854, and they
would not take it; the Alabama ultimatum of 1556,
and they would not take it. I tender them now
Mr. Buchanan’s letter of acceptance iu 1850; let it
construe itself, and see if we cannot harmonise on
that; or I tender Mr. Breckinridge's speech of ac
ceptance in Lexmgion, in 1350, and let it construe
itselt. 1 will not dot an ior cross at. Gentlemen,
will you take your own language when you accept
ed and construed the platform! lam willing to
be accommodating. Ido not insist on a platform
from my speeches or my writings. I can pick
one up all over the Senate, all over the country,
from the speeches and writings of those who n >w
arraign me as not being souud on the slavery t|ti6s
tion.”— Stephen A Douglas.
“Slaves, according to that decision,[the Dred
Scott decision! being property, stand on an equal
footing with all other property. There is just as
much obligation on the part of the Territorial
Legislature to protect slaves as of every other spe
cies of property—as there is to protect horses cat
tle, dry goods, liquoss, Ac., If they have a right to
discriminate as to the one, they have as to the
other; and whether they have got the power of dis
crimination or not, is for the court to decide if any
one dispute it. * * If there is no power of dis
criminate ou other species of property, there is
noue as to slaves. If there is a power of discrtmi>.
nation on other property--and 1 think there is—
then it applies to slave property. In other words,
slave property is on an equal footing with all other
property.” —Stephen A. Douglas.
“I care not whether you agree or differ with me
•n the points of law that have divided us. It
Vu should happen to be right, and 1 wrong, it
would not prove that you were a better Democrat
than I, but that you were a Wetter lawyer than 1
a in, so far as that one branch of law is concerned.
1 should not have much pride of opinion on the
point of law, but for the fact that you have got in
the habit of calling me ‘Judge,’ [laughter,] hav
ing among my youthful indiscretions, accepted
that office and acquired the title ; and 1 do claim
that with that title, I have a right to think as 1
please on a point of law until the court decides
that I am wrong.” —Stephen A. Doughs.
“I haveno blind devotion to the Union, but iu ray
judgment there t* now no existing cause to justify
dissolution.” —llsrsehel V. Johnson.
‘Tt is better for the South to rely upon the Con
stitution and the Dred Scott case than to go before
a freesoil Congress with the vain demand for its
friendly interposition. When the lamb can trust
to the lion for protection, then may the South ask
Congress to throw over slavery a sheltering a>ges.”
Hersehel V. Johnson.
“If facts'can establish any proposition. Jibe south
ern States have agreed to the doctrine of non-inter
vention bv Congress, in Stale and Territories, and*
that the ‘people of the Territories may deter
mine the question of slavery for themselves, ‘in
their own way, subject ouly to the Constitution of
th* United States.’ ” — l’erschel 1. J>htoon.
“Few, at the South, deny the power of Congress
to pass laws for the protection of slave proper, v in
the Territories —l certa ‘nly do not. But it is de
nied bv maav of the strongest intellects in the
United States. Indeed, throughout the entire ex
tent of the free labor States there are but few who
do not doubt it, and many able lawyers believe in
the doctrine of Territorial sovereignty. If, then,
we award to others the same honesty which we
claim for ourselves, we must admit that the right
of Congress to intervene for the protection ol sla
very is questionable.
“Therefore, when the South demands it, she as
sumes an attitude of very doubtful policy. She
affords the freesoilers a plausible pretext to say she
yields jurisdiction on the subject of slavery she has
always denied. She departs from her cherished
doctrine of strict construction by asking the exer
cise of ft questionable power. She surrenders her
sel ftothe mercy of aa infuriated treesoil majority.

BRECKINRIDGE OR LINCOLN
A few davs ago we copied the circular sent out j
bv the Breckinridge S ate committee to the office
holders making assessments f r funds to carry on ;
the effort to give the State of New York to Lincoln. !
We bare received from Ogdcosburg one of the j
circulars referred to, which is addressed to a post- -
master of St. Lawrence county. The sum which ;
he is requested to forward is modestly put down j
at etgthtv dollars. Accompanying the circular j
is the following communication :
Ogdknsbcro, Sept. 1, 1660. *
Gentlemen : I inclose you a circular which has
been received bj a postmaster in this part of the |
State asking for a contribution of money, osteDsi
biv tabs used to promote the election of Breckin- •
ridge and Lane ; hut in fact to be used to promote j
the election of Lincoln and Hamlin. (
President Buchanan ts in favor of electing I.in- ,
coin and Hamlin, as ha avowed to a particular
friend on the night of the Breckinridge ratification
meeting at Washington. In corroboration of the
fact that the President is in favor of the election of
Lincoln and Hamlin, James B. Howe, U. S, Mar- ;
■hai, refused to appoint as a deputy marshal, one |
of Jewett’s old deputies, unless he would engage
to vote for Breckinridge or Luicoin, just as should
be deemed advisable, Howe averring it was not ,
his wish, but he acted under higher authority.
A RiMcrt-ors Canard We are surprised to see
so respectable a journal as the Charleston Conri-.r,
g ring^ circulation to the report of what it says has
oeen received in a dispatch from Richmond, to the j
effect that 0 Jennings Wise had stated in a speech, !
that “Wm. L. Yancey was tendered the nomina
tion for the Vice Presidency on the Douglas ticket, j
at Baltimore, out refused to accept it- ’ VS e doubt j
whether Mr. Wise made any such nonsensical de- ;
claratioo; and if he did, it was most probably on
the information of those who knew nothing of
what they were saving. The thing is too Btupid to ‘
need serious treatment or contradiction.

THE TEST OF THE PIPES
In oar notice of the Kaolin operations published
Sunday morning, we stated that the pipe intended
for use stood a test of sixty feet, which is all that
is desirable. Indeed, the demand is for the I’or
celain to stand a weight equal to forty-four feet
perpendicular column.
We are informed that before our arrival, the new
pipe stood a test of from eighty to one hundreo
feet without bursting, aud after we left, a test was
, applied to see what they would stand, and it took
toe weight of a column of water equal to ono hun
dred and seven leet perpendicular to burst it.
OUR CANDIDATES IN NEW YORK
It has been a popular delusion among our friends
of the Breckinridge party that Douglas and
Johnson do not agree, but that error has dissolved,
for both have met upon the same platform in tL e
great metropolis of the western world, and fifty
j thousand freemen have rent the air with the a; •
, plause which greeted our great leaders.
! Os Governor Johnson’s speech, it is unnecessary
i to speak, for Georgian's know him as one of the
J first among the great orators of the South, and his
j argument is the satffe, upon the soil of his na
! five South, or amid the congregated thousands ol
the North.
The speech of Judge Douglas at Jones wood,
has developed fully the four great points of inter
est to the southern people, and the entire nation.
It is needless to remind our readers that Doug
las stands to-day the greatest living expounder ol
the Constitution, fer—
“As Elijah's burning wheels prepare
From Carmel's heights to sweep the fields of air,
The prophet's mantle, ere his flight beg in.
Dropped on the world, a sacred gift to man.
So when Clat, Webster, and Calhoun lifted
their faces into the light of eternity, the Giant of
the West stood alone in the Senate of his country,
blending in himself the genius, the statesmanship,
the eloquence of the great nation in which he
knows no superior.
That he interprets the Constitution by the highest
standard of States rights, will be abundantly ap
parent when we notice the fourth of the great
points developed in his New York speech (which
we will soon publish in full.)
His first great position is, that he is ready to
cc-operate with any party, which has for its pur.
pose, thb Constititon, the Union, tiie enforces
uent of the laws. -
With his creed plainly marked in its minor dt
: tails in the Cincinnati platform—with a distinct
recognition of the validity of the past aud future
j decisions of the Supreme Court, in the Baltimore
resolution, he stands free from all doubt and un
certainty upon every great issue before the country,
aud as peculiarly the exponent of the Union plat’
form, as the sage of Tennessee himself.
His second great position is, that he stands
! ready to withdraw from the canvass at any mo
ment that his withdrawal will promote the defeat
of Lincoln, and pledges himself to sacrifice all his
bright hopes in the present, and all the labors of
the past, for the good of his party and his country.
His third position is, that he is willing to unite
with the Union men everywhere for the common
good; and that when Breckinridge shall answer
the Norfolk questions, that then he will talk about
fusion with him and his faction, and not till then.
His fourth and last is the highest States’ rights
ground that any nian can take, the ground on
which the southern rights party has always
and we (jail upon his opponents, in a spirit of fair,
ness and good faith to publish his triumphant
vindication from their charges, as it falls from bis
own lips.
Publish this, gentlemen, or publish his speech
; ln full, and tell us then, if you, as southern men,
desire any higher ground taken by any candidate?
“Thus disuniomsts who protest against my course*
| woo have such a horror of coalition, in the very
attempt to carry out their purposes, talked in their
protest about mv making war on sovereign States.

HON. JNO C. BRECKINRIDGE-HIS RECORD.
We have shown that this distinguished Ken
tuckian is not the regular nominee of the party,
but is opposed to the man who is justly so.
We have shown that the same objections which
apply to Mr. Douglas on his Leeompton record,
arejustlv applicable to him who is the heir appa
rant,and hoped-for successor of the presentAdminis.
tration. We have shown that all the objections
which apply to Mr. Douglas, both as regards the
local nature of slavery and the popular sovereignty
of tho Territories, apply with double force to his
Democratic opponent; and we now proceed to give
in brief form, the ideas of Mr. Breckinridge upon
that great charter of southern rights, the Kansas
ac t_some further light on his record, and the for
mer ideas of some of his present supporters.
We deem the present support given to Mr.
Breckinridge, of course, a full recantation on the
part of those who once so widely different with
him, and while we do not prelend to endorse the
I positions which they have abandoned, still it is a
I matter of public interest to know how far preju
dice may mislead the judgment.
hr. Breckinridge’s construction of the kansas-
NEBRASCA BILL.
Extracts of his speech in the House of Repre
sentatives on the 28d of March, 1850 :
But if non-intervention by Congress be the
principle that underlies the compromise oflßso,
j then the prohibition of 1820, being inconsistent
| with that principle, should be removed, and per
j feet non-intervention thus established by law.
Among the many misrepresentations sent to the
i country by some of the enemies of this bill, per-*
haps no one is more flagrant than the charge that
i it proposes to legislate slavery into Nebraska and
Kansas. Sir, if the hill contained such a feature it
! would not receive mv vote. The right to establish
involves the correlative right to prohibit, and de
nying both, I would vote for neither. I go further,
j and express the opinion that a clause legislating
slavery into those Territories could not command
one southern vote in this House. It is due to
both sections of the country and to the people, to
expose this groundless charge. What, then, is
the present condition of Nebraska and Kansas?
Why, sir, there is no government, no slavery, and
verv little population there, (for your Federal
law's exclude your citizens); but a law remains on
the statute book forever prohibiting slavery in
these Territories. It is proposed simply to take
• off'this prohibition, hut not to make an enactment
in the affirmance of slavery there. Now, in the
absence of anv law establishing slavery in that
region, previous to the prohibiting act, it is too
clear for dispute, that the repeal of the prohibi
tion has not the affirmative effect to fixing slavery
in that country. The effect of the repeal, there
fore is neither to establish or exclude, but to leave
the future condition of the Territories dependent
wholly upon the action of the inhabitants, subject
only to such limitations as the Federal (Jonstitu
tion may iouose. But to guard fully against
honest misconstruction, and even against malicious
perversion, the language of the bill is perfectly
explicit on thts point.
S- * * * * * * * *
It will be observed, that the right of the people
to regulate in their own way all their domestic in
stitutions, is left wholly untouched, except that
whatever is done, must be done in accordance with
the Constitution—the supreme law for us all. And j
the rights of property under the Constitution, as!
well as legislative action, is properly left to the :
decision of the Federal judiciary. This avoids a
contested issue which it is hardly in the compe
tency of Congress to decide, and refers it to the
proper tribunal.
j**** ** * I
Theo, sir, neither the purpose nor the effect of
i the bill is to legislate slavery into Nebraska and
I Kansas, but its effect is to sweep away this vestige j
; of Congressional dictation on this subject, to allow
the tree citizens ot this L'nion to enter the common
! territory with the Constitution and the bill alone
j in their hands, and to remit the decision of their
; r-.gnts under both to lhe courts of the country,
j Who can go before his constituents refusing to
stand on the platform of the Constitution > \Y bo
! can make a case to them of refusing to abide the
! decision of the courts of the Union ?
j * * * *
Sir, I care nothing about refined distinctions,
or subtleties, or verbal criticism. I repeat the
broad and plain proposition, that if Congress may
. intervene on this subject, i’ may intervene on any
j other, and having thus surrendered the principle, i
aud broken away from Coustitunonal limitations,
| you are driven into the very lap of arbitrary
power.
By this doctrine, you may erect a despotism un
der the American system. The whole tbeorv is a
libel on our institutions, ft carries us back to the
abhorrent principles ot British colonicai authority,
■ against which we made the issue of independence.
1 have never acquiesced in this odious claim, and
will not believe that it can abide the test of public
scruunv.
It is contended on one hand, upon the idea of the
equali.y of the States under the Constitution and
their common property in the Territories, that the
citizens of the siaveholdtng Slates may remove to j
tht?3i with 81at68, And tbit the local Legislature
cannot rightfully exclude slavery while m the ter
-1 r.torial condition; but it is conceded that the peo
ple mav establish or prohibit it when they come to
exercise tho power of a sovereign State; on the
other hand, it is said that slavery, baiugin deroga
tion of cannon right, can exist ouly by force of ;
positive law; and it is deuted that the Constitution
furnishes this law for the Territories; and it is fur
ther claimed that the local Legislature may es
i tabhsh or exclude it at any time after
j organised. As both parties appeal to the Constitu
• tion, and base their respective arguments on oppo
■ site construction, the subject of legislative conflict,
and properly refers it to the tribunal created by
the Constitution itself, for the very purpose of deci
ding ail cases in law and equity arising under it.

Extract of Mr. Brichmxidm’s apeech at Lexing
ton, Kentucky, after his nomination forth* Vice
Presidency.
Upon the distracting question of domestic slavery
heir position is clear. The whole power of the
Democratic organization is pledged to the follow
ng propositions ; That Congress shall not inter
vene upon this subject in the States, in the Ter
ritories, or in the District of Columbia; that the
people of each Territory shall determine the ques- j
tion for themselves, and be admitted into the Union ‘
upon a footing of perfect equality with the original
States, without discrimination on account ol the
allowance or prohibition of slavery.
Extract of ilr. Breckjxridob's speech at Tippe
canoe, Indiana, (on the old battle-ground,) in Sep
tember, 1858.
I am connected with no party that has for ns
object the extension of slavery, nor with any to
prevent the people ot a State or Territory from de
ciding tho question of its existence within them
for themselves.
* * * * * *
I happened to be in Congress when the Ne
braska bill passed, and gave it mv voice and vote
and because it did what it did, viz: It ac,
tnowledged the right of the people of the Terri
tory to settle the question lor themselves, and not
because 1 supposed what I do not now believe, that
it legislated slavery into the Territory. The Demo
cratic party is not a pro-slavery party.
The Louisville Courier, which heartily supports
Messrs. Breckinridge and Lank, in a scathing re
view of th.s Tippecanoe speech of the secession
candidate for the Presidency, a few days after its
delivery, introduced it as follows:
Breckinridge’s Opinion —Not of a party in favor
of the extension of slavery ! —On the 3d instant a
singular trio—Gen. Cass, the father of that measure
tor the betrayal of tho interests of the South,
squatter sovereignty; John Van Buren, the great
advocate of the doctrine of the VVilmot proviso, and
who says that he has not changed hia opinions,
that it is the mission of the great Loco party to
abolish slavery, by preventing its extension; and
John C. Breckinridge, the Loco nominee for the
Vice Presidency—addressed the people on the
old battle-ground of Tippecanoe,
i Here follows the extract which we have given
above.]
i'liese opinions'of Mr. Breckinridge (continued
the Courier) have startled like afire-bell in the
night some of the patriotic Democrats of the South,
and the New Orleans Delta, (another Breckin-.
ridge and Lane organ,) the leading Demo
cratic paper of that oay, stands aghast at these
developments of Breckinridge. It has a strong,
indignant article, which we give in er.tenso in an
other column. It may well sav :“ If the Demo
cratic party is opposed to the extension of slavery,
as Mr. Breckinridge authoritatively asserts, we de
clare our sincere conviction that it should n*ot re
ceive a southern vote!”
AgAm it asks—let the people answer: “ Will the
Democratic party accept its candidate's position?
If it does, it has no right to ask the South to vote
for those entertaining such anti-southern views.
‘We say boldly and unhesitatingly,’ rentalks the
Delta, ‘that Mr. Breckinridge is not for us, but
against us; he is the worst kind of a foe—a pre
tended friend. We give the proof,’ ” Ac.
The report of Mr. Bkbckinriqe’s speech at Tippe.
canoe, produced, as the lone of the Louisville
Courier and New Orleans Delta, at the time indi
cates, a deep sensation in the South. His friends
who defended the speech as the true doctrine of
non-intervention were bitterly denouaced by the
ultras in almost all the “cotton States.” The
following editorial taken from the Montgomery
(Ala ) Mill, the organ ot W.w. L. Yancet, will
show the temper of the times ;
From the Montgomery (Ala ) Mail, in 1856.
And who are they who defend him for making
speeches in company with John Van Buren, and
declaring that he does not belong to a party which
goes for the extension of slavery ? and for making
other soft talk to freesoilers, .a a freee State
while standing side by side with the freesoiler,
Van Buren? Aye, who deleud him?
It is not such papers as the Charleston Mercury,
and others—journals devo ed to inleuse southern
ism, though connected with the Democratic squat
ter sovereignty party. It ts not they ? But when
ever, in thts broad land, you find a miserable hire
ling of Federal power—a pliant, unquestioning
tool of powers that be —a creature calling himself
man, hut who has long since parted with all maaly
attributes —a mere political panderer, who, at so !
much per month, prolongs an official relation to j
men who despise while they employ him—a party !
scavenger, without olfactories, who revels in the 1
odor he is called on to handle—a thing named so- |
and-so, sold in lump for a price, long ago—an in
dividual of the class that party corruption has j
generated, and that party corruption keeps at iis j
vilest work—whenever you find such a man, he is
the defender of John C. Breckinridge, for associ
ating politically with John Van Buren, aud in the
presence of treesoilers, clearing his skirts of be
longing to a party which goes for the extension of
slavery !
Yes! these are men who would make the South
believe that Mr. Breckiundge ts tor tho South,
when he himself denies that he occupies that po
sition ; when be himself comes out openly for
squatter sovereignty.
And are these enrolled, paid minions of Federal
power—creatures without opinions; steeped in
corruption ; obedient only to the will of their
masters —hound to go where they are sent, aud to
say end do what they are ordered—are these
hangers-on; pimps and stool pigeons of Federal
power, to teach the South its duty? God forbid !
If the South is to be sold out, let the factors in the j
transaction be, at least, nominally respectable
men.*
Extract of Mr. Breckinridge’s speech at Hamil
ton, Ohio, September 2, 1856 :
Meet your enemies upon this issue, and turn
them to the provision of the act which declares
that it is not its purpose either to legislate it into
or exclude it from the Territories, but to let the
people settle it for themselves. Make them assail
that principle, and they will “bite a file.” The
doctrine upon which this Government is founded
is, that the people are perfectly free to form their
own institutions, and that this freedom stands on
an equality with every other municipal right. I
hold it to be a orinciple which underlies our sys
tem of government, and a principle the violation
of which led to the American revolution. It is the
same principle which ran through our old Con
federation, and which runs through our present
Constitution !
1 do not propose to examine the unfortunate
disturbances which have taken place in the Terri
tory of Kansas. Interested and ambitious men
on both sides, no doubt, undertook to disturb the
working of this principle, but you might just as
well say the sun is a failure because it is obscured
by clouds. These troubles are accidents of the
great question. ******
I saw on one of your banners the noble senti
ment of Thomas Jefferson, that “all Governments
derive their just power from the consent of the
governed,” and that is the principle embodied in
tbe Kansas act. I wish our fathers bad giveu a
little more prominence to that sentiment. On it
the Democratic party rests impregnable.
In this connection, inasmuch as Mr. Brbckin
j ridge referred to them in his speeches of which
i extracts are given, extracts of the Kansas-Nebras
kaact, and the platform adopted by the Democrat-
I ic National convention in 1856, are here appended;
i extracts also, of Mr. Buchanan’s letter accepting
the nomination for the Presidency, and an extract
i of the address issued by the Democratic National
! Executive committee, of which Hon. Charles J.
! Faulkner, of Virginia, was chairman, in 1856.
i Extracted the Kansas-Xebraska act :
The Constitution and all laws of the Uuited
| States, which are not locally inapplicable, shall
have the same force within the said Territory of
Kansas as elsewhere within the United States,
except the eighth section ot the act preparatory to
the admission of Missouri into the Union* approv-
I ed March 6,1820, which, being unoisisient with
the principle of non intervention by Congress
, with slavery in the Slates and Territories, as re
| cognised by the legislation of 1350, commonly
| called the compromise measures, is hereby de
clared inoperative and void; it being the true in
tent and meaning of this act not to legislate
slavery into any Territory or State, uor to exclude
it therefrom, but to leave the people thereof per
-1 fectly free to form and regulate their domestic in
i stitutions in their own way, subjectly only to the
; Constitution of the United Slates : Provided, That
i nothing herein contained shall be construed to re
vive or put in force any Taw or regulation which
may have existed prior to the act of March 6,
1 1320, either protecting, establishing, prohibiting,
j or abolishing slavery.
Extract of the Cincinnati platform :
1 Resolved, That claiming fellowship with and
desiring the co-operation ol all who regard the
preservation of the Union under the Constitution,
as the pa'amount issue— aud repudiating all sec
tional parties aud platforms concerning domestic
slavery, which seek to embroil t:.e States and
incite treason and arm and resis ance to law in
the Territories, and whose avowed porposes
it consummated, must end in civil war
and disunion, the American Democracy recog
nise and adopt the principles contained in the
• organic laws, establish'ng the Territories of Kan
sas and Nebraska, as emh dying the only sound
and safe solution of ibe slavery question, upon
which the great national’ idea of this whole coun
try cau repose in its determined conservatism of
i the Union—non-inte’-venticn by Congress with
- slavery in State and Territory, and in the District

2. That this was the basis of the compromises
of 1850, confirmed by both the Democratic and
Whig parties, in National conventions, ratified by
the people in the election of 1852. and rightly ap

Extract of Mr. Bcchakan’b letter of acceptance,
dated June 18, 1856 :
The recent legislation of Congress respecting
demesne slavery, derived, as it has been, from
the original and purs fountaiu of political power,
the will of the majority, promises, ere long, to
! allay the dangerous excitement. This legislation
is founded upon principles as ancient as free gov
erning it itself, and, in accordance with ihem, has
simply declared that the people of a Territory,
like those of a State, shall decide for themselves
whether slavery shall or shall not exist within their
limits. The act does no more
than give the force of law to this elementary

principle of self-government. Th.s principle will
surely not be controverted by any individual of
any party professing devotion to popular govern
ment. Resides, how vain and illusory would aDy
other principle in practice, in regard to the
Territories! vhis is apparent from the fact, ad
mitted by all, that after a Territory shall have en
tered the Union an i t come a State, no Constitu
tional power would then exist which could pre
vent it from either abolishing or establishing
slavery, as the case may be, according to its sover
eign will and pleasure.
Extract from an addre3 of the National Demo
cratic Committee to the people of the United States
in 1856 :
Finally, in 1850, after a period of great agita
tion throughout the country, the leading patriots
and wise men of both parties, such as Clay, Web
ster, Cass, and others, decided upon leaving this
question where it always ought to have been left,
and were the true spirit of our institutions places
it—in the hands and under the control of the peo
ple of ihe Territories themselves, restrained only
by the Constitution.
The whole nation rejoiced in this wise adjust
ment, and all parties claimed it as a finality as to
this principle of Territorial organization. For
once the question of slavery in the Territories
was settled upon the principles of our revolution
ary fathers, who demanded a voice and a vote in
regulating their own institutions ; the same great
fundamental principles of human government
which underha and uphold our whole republican
system —principles suited to all Territories and to
all times, and as broad and enduring as eternal
truth. This form of adjustment was denominated
non-intervention by Congress, self-government by
the people of the Territories.
We had intended to elaborate the fourth point,
and contrast the great public services of Judge
Douglas, with the comparatively insignificant ones
which Major Breckinridge has rendered to his
party and his country. But it is enough to quote
the expression which has become a proverb, “that
Mr. Breckinridge has done less for his party, aud
got more for it, than any living man.”
THE WRECK OF THE LADY ELGIN COR
ONER'S INQUEST.
The Coroner’s juiy at Chicago, has commenced
the investigation in relation to the wreck of the
Lady Elgin. The following is some of the testi
mony:
John Jervis of Milwaukie, testified: Just before
the schooner struck, I was standing at the middle
gangway and saw the schoirner about two minutes
before the collision; she appeared to be coming to
wards us at about an angle of forty-five degrees;
about half a minute before she struck I left tho
gangway. Captain Wilson was at the after gang
way, and asked someone on the schooner if they
wanted to come aboard, the reply was they- did not
think they were injured; they would stay where
they were; the schooner was not dipping aft, I saw
a light on the schooner before the collision, but
none afterwards; I went down into the coal bunker,
saw the water coming in very fast; I then went
over to the break; the steward was there trying to
stop the leak with mattrasses; tbe vessel had be
fore been listed up; the Captain stood at the edge
of the scuttle, ordering the men to fire up as fast
as possible; I then went aft; the Captain went at the
same time and gave orders that everything large
be thrown overboard; the Captain, when next I
saw him, was coming fr-uu the how. I then went
below to see how long we could keep afloat; when
1 got to the engine room the engine had just stop
ped; I went back to the cabin, the hole being then
halt full of water; the Captain and myself then
got twenty to twenty-five ladies up on the hurri
cane deck; the boat went down two minutes after
wards; there were between twenty’ apd thirty chil
dren on tbe forward part of the hurricane roof; it
was very dark and raining at the time; the boll
commenced ringing almost at once after the col
lision, and th* whistle commenced blowing at the
same time.
Thomas Cummings, who was on the Lady Elgin,
testified; Schooner did not strike the steamer
quartering, hut at right angles; she run square into
her; the steamer moving, turned the schooner
round; think wo were about ten miles from the
shore, saw a vessel’s light after we left the steamer;
think we could have seen a light on a vessel three
miles off; did uot see the schooner after she got
clear of us; saw that all the steamer’s head-lights
were up; the schooner was running about due East
when she struck us; there is a rule that the boats
going to Milwaukie should pass vessels on the lar-
I board side; 1 think a vessel under that wind and
! headway could haveuvoioed the steamer if within
twenty rods of her, by great exertion; even if the
| vessel was but three times her length from the
steamer she could have avoid and doing serious
j damage, by putting he. helm hard up; had the
I schooner seen the steamer half amilo off, she could
uot have struck her, except by gross negligence;
it seems to me that the helm ot the vessel must
have been put down instead of up, and that was
the cause of the disaster; the seboouer could have
laid within a mileot us alter the collision with per
feet safety; it was not very dark, although raining
heavily
Jonn Vorce, first mate of the Augusta, testified :
At tbe ttnie of toe collision, it was the captaiu’s
watch, and the second mate was on deck; when
the squall came up 1 culled the captain, who got
on deck as the squall struck us; about ono-thirdof
the foresail, and one-fourtli of the mainsail were
up when we struck the steamer ; when 1 saw the
steamer’s light I heard the captain sing out “hard
up,” the steamer was then crossing our bow; the
schooner showed a white light troni eight to
twelve o’clock; don't know whether she did at
the time of the collision or not; heard the helms
man answer to tho order “ hard up,” but did not
notice any change in the vessel’s course; the
Augusta steers wild—that is, will not answer her
helm readily; it was not two minutes at the out
side, after the order, that the vessel struck ; wo
heard no noise whatever from the steamer after
the collision.
Geo. Budge, second-mate, says: It was the cap
tain’s watch. I was on deck ; the vessel’s course
was South by East, under full sail, except the main
gaff'top-sail; we showed a white light ; first saw
the steamer’s light about ten minutes before I
called the captain, about one point on the weather
bow; it was about twenty minutes before the col
lision when I called the captain; called him because
it looked squally; when he came up I showed him
the light; he ran forward and looked at it, but
made uo remark to me about it; from three so five
minutes befiire wo struck the steamer, he ordered
the helm hard up, and the order was obeyed, but
the vessel did not mind her helm; I did not hear
any noise on the steamer alter the collision; the
wind was blowing so we could not hear ourselves
from one end of the vessel to the other.
One of the schooner’s crew, who was stationed
forward as a look-out, swore that he did not see
the steßmer’s light until just as the captain ordered
the helm hard up.
