SPEECH OF HOKf. J. E. McDO.VALD At the Democratic Meeting held'at Tndian ajiblb in the Hadl of the Home of Hepre' sentatives, on the Evening of the ittk.of

Noveahei. //z-.oa

Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the meet ing: In response to your call, I desire to say that I am one of those who fully approve of this meeting in my judgment, when we consider the character of the political campaign through'Which we have just passed, it is not only- proper but almost a necessity. *i.

I take ii for what the call indicates.it to be, "A meeting of the democracy of this State, at this time assembled ait the Capitol, who abide party nominations and party usages, and voted accordingly, in the late election to interchange sentiments touching the interests of the Democratic Party."

Being composed, of individual members of the party who have assembled on their own call, it has no official character, and therefore we all stand here in our individual capacity, and no man is responsible for the sentiments announced, exccpt he who utters them We speak, therefore, to-night with the harness off, and to me, at least, after the campaign of 1858, in which, as one of the candidates on the State tickct I have taken my part, this freedom from constraint is. refreshing and I shall use it accordingly.

First let me call your attention to the canvass through which we have just passed —not that as an actor in it I take any particular pride iu its progress or it3 results, for I do hot—although those of us who occupicd a position upon the State ticket, were finally succcssful, notwithstanding the many scars we now bear from wounds received in the contest: yet in looking back over the struggle I see nothing now, of which a Democrat can feel justly prornl.— But I desire to notice some of its characteristics, some points of difference between it and any previous canvass, and to speak freely of the cause of those differences.— For fifteen years .1 have been engaged in all the political struggles in our State sometimes as a standard bearer, and sometimes in the more dignified position of a private in the ranks and from past experience I feel that I know something about political tactics in a contest between the Democratic party and the party of the opposition, by whatever name known but in the late campaign past experience furnished but little aid iu combatting the difficulties by which wc were surrounded. In our former contests wo had been in the habit of engaging a common enemy in an open field, and without either giving or asking for quarter, fought out the battle manfully, until wc went down in the struggle or achieved a glorious victor}7,

But in the late canvass, although wc found the party of the opposition thoroughly disorganized, and its incongruous elements rapidly disintegrating and dissolving, yet such was_the broken condition of our own rauks that we could take no advantage of their weakness and it was not the natural enemies of the Democratic party, as found in the opposing and hostile organization that almost overthrew it in In diana, but it was the unnatural enemies of our own household and when wc entered the contest, in place of at once engaging the opposition parties and scattering them like chaff before the wind, the great labor of the campaign was to try and secure peace and harmony in our own ranks, and our bitterest and most protracted warfare was among ourselves. If partial success has been achieved to the Republican party-in Indiana, it was our weakness and not its strength that sccurcd it. The ostensible cause of all the difficulty was the Kansas question and its position before Congress and the country. The question of the admission cf Kansas as a State under the circumstances was one undoubtedly about which Democrats might reasonably differ and yet be Democrats. A difference of opinion on this question, could not impeach the Democracy of any man, for it furnished no ground for a division in the party.— Holding, as I did, from the beginning that the Presidential recommendation for the immediate admission of Kansas as a State, was under the circumstances, wise and patriotic, and the only complete remedy for the evils under which the whole country had been for years suffering, I never doubted at any time but that there were thousands of good and true Democrats in this State, true to the party as myself, that differed with me on the question, and honestly differed and where there was nothing more involved than an honest difference of opinion on the question, it took but a little time for us to come to a correct understanding and that too without seriously disturbing the harmony of the party. And the elections have demonstrated that thousands of Anti-Lecompton Democrats in this State have stood firm and true to the flag of the party, and upheld its usages, not only by their votes, but by their voices and their talents.

I take pleasure on this occasion of referring to one such among many whose action in this regard came under my own observation. I refer to the Senator from old Montgomery, my own county. He and I differed on this question from the beginning—differed widely—but honestly and friendly, aud notwithstanding that difference wc stood upon the same stump and addressed the same audience at many places in our district, aud labored earnestly and faithfully together for the success of the party. This illustration 1 believe will hold good throughout the State, wherever the dissensions in our ranks had no other foundation than this. But it is a fact of which no man in this State who has mingled much in the late contest can be ignonorant, that the real cause of our dissensions here had other-grounds than the Lecompton question, going far back of that issue, which in this connection was only used as a pretext, and those other causes were personal and not political.

When the Lecompton issue first sprang' up, as might have been expected, a wide spread difference of opinion disclosed itself among Democrats on the question,- but this might and would have been speedily settled, bat for the fact that an undertow soon disdoseditself in the Anti-Lecompton movement, and it became evident that

INDIANA, DECEMBER 11, 1858. WHOLE NUMBER

using it for the purpose of drifting the whole Anti-Lecompton wing of our party out of the organization of the party itself, for the selfish purpose of destroying the party to gratify the malevolent spirit of those engaged in this nefarious work.— They tried to form an independent organization, and the convention of the 23d of February last was-the offspring of this effort: In that convention the honest masses,of the Anti-Lccompton wing of our party proved too strong for, these disorganisers, and after framing the machinery of a separate party they wtere compelled, for the time at least, to abandon their design. Another meeting was held here on the 18th inst., called ostensibly as a Democratic meeting, to rejoice over the success of the Democratic party in Illinois, but it was the same.role and by the same actors, as the meeting of the 23d of February last. Boiling over with rage against tho administration and its friends in Indiana, in their haste, to denounce it and them, the actors in the meeting forgot the object of their call, and if Judge Douglas and the glorious struggle of the Illinois Democracy received any notice at their hands, it was but a passing notice, or if more, the reporters of the meeting have failed to furnish it to the public, while torrents of abuse were poured forth against the administration and its friends without stint or measure.

While wc have these men before us let us take a glance at their conduct and its effects in the late canvass. They profess to be par-exccllencc Douglas men, and yet in their efforts to disorganize the party iu this State, they have struck down the friends of Judge Douglas alike with administration men wherever they stood in the way of their designs to break down the party. Witness the results in the 7th Congressional district. An Anti-Lecomp-ton man defeated for Congress because he was the nominee of the party, while on the Legislative tickct alone in this single district., by the machinations of one cf the leaders of the movement, himself a bolting candidate for Congress, seven Democratic candidates for the Legislature were defeated, and Republicans elected in their stead. More than half of those defeated candidates were Anti-Lccompton men, and among them were the best and truest friends of Judge Douglas that can be found in the State. The result in this single district has placed the Legislative posver of the State for two years in the hands of the Hepublicans, who in turn have been rewarding those whose treachery has placed them in power.

The meeting, therefore, of the 18i.li ult., was a meeting of the bolters of Indiana to rejoice that the bolters of Illinois failed to accomplish their purposes, and to rejoice further at the ruin they themselves had wrought here. And the honest AntiLecompton men of Indiana owe it to themselves to shake off this incubus of disorganization that for its own selfish ends has fastened itself upon them. They, the bolters, have actually left the party aud arc struggling hard to destroy it, but with a hypocritical malignity unparalleled in our history, they still claim to be Democrats, and endeavor, while covering themselves with tho flag of our party, to strike with an assassin's dagger deep at its vitals. They are the same men who, two years ago, under the leadership of the bolting Congressmen of the 7th district, attempted to create a division in the Democratic party, and to form what they denominated an honest party, but failed tor want of capital.

This is not the first time defection has assailed the ranks of our party. In 185-t scores of men left us under the prctcncc that they could not abide the Kansas and Nebraska bill, but in that instance they boldly marched over to the enemy, with colors flying and drums beating, and although they damaged us for a time, the gap in our ranks was soon closed up, and the deserters were soon lost in the ranks of the opposition. The bolters of 1858 have profited by the experience of the past, and while in their hearts they have fully consummated the treason they have long premeditated, they still cling to the party that they may strike it a more deadly blow, and with a surer aim. It were better far for the party, if they had marched out of the ranks in the same bold straightforward manner that Morton and others did, and it would have been better also, for their own self-rcpect.

As for the Illinois election, I rcjoicc at the success of the Democratic party there —I rejoice that the flag of the party so gallantly borne by Judge Douglas, was not suffered to trail in the dust, and this I do, not bccausc of the position of Judge Douglas on the Kansas question in Congress, for I disapproved it in all its parts, nor yet on account of his votes in the Senate against the confirmation of our Senators there, thus attempting to stultify the Democracy of Indiana for having sanctioned their election. Not for either of these reasons do I rejoice, for in both of these instances his course met my condemnation. But from the time he stood on the portico of the Tremont House in Chicago, and announced to the assembled thousands, who greeted his return to his home, "that he stood by the Democratic organization, yielded obedience to its usages, and supported its regular nominees!" from that hour my heart was with him in the fight, and when his brilliant campaign was crowned by a complete victory, I rejoiced, because I saw in it the triumph of the Democratic party, the triumph of its organization and it mattered bnt little to me who led on its columns. But I am told by some that disorganization is likely to follow as the fruits of this victorv, and that the future course of Juddge Douglas will not realize tli3 hopes of those who have rejoiced at the success of the party in Illinois, in his person, because it was the party. I have no right to anticipate such results. 1 can act upon the existing state of facts alone, and in their light I have viewed the contest in Illinois, and if the hopes of harmony and success to the party iu the future, of which I have taken the victory in Illinois as a harbinger, are to be dashed by the conduct of him for whom that victory was specially won, I shall-beamong the first to condemn him and even that would not make me feel thai I had done wrong as a Democrat, because I had rejoiced at the result in Illinois

I may be asked if these are my senti-j-.r

861.

mcnts why I did not go to the meeting of tho ISth inst., and there express them.— My answer is, I would not rejoice with the managers of that meeting even over my own election.

A few words now in reference to tho coming issues: and they, so far as the slavery controversy is coucerncd, arc embraced in the decision of the Supremo Court of the United States, in the Dred_ Scott case. The Court in the opinion rendered in that case established three important points, and only three: 1st. That persons of negro blood aro not.citizens of the United States, and aro not entitled to the rights, privileges and immunities of citizens of the United States, as guarantied by the Constitution.

This proposition can hardly be considered an open question in Indiana, sinco the adoption by a sepcrate vote and by an overwhelming majority of the 13th article of our Constitution in 1850. For if tho 13th article of our constitution, which prohibit" free negroes from settling in our State is valid, then a negro is not a citizen of the United States, and all who voted for that article decided tho question in advance of the Supreme Court, and the decision of the Court merely affirms that decision. 2d. That Congress ha3 no power under the federal Constitution to legislate on tho subject of slavery in the Territories, and as all legislative power in a Territory, while it remains a Territory is derived from Congress, no such power can bo confered on the Territorial Legislature that the Territories of the United States aro the common property of the United States that the Constitution of the United States by its own force extends over all such Territories, and gives protection alike to persons and property to all tho citizens of the United States while they remain Territories.

This proposition solves a mooted question about which men have differed, and places the whole slavery question, if adhered to, out of the political .arena forever. It is strictly in consonance with tho doctrinc of the Cincinnati platform of "noti interference by Congress with slavery in State and Territory, or in the District of Columbia," by virtually declaring that Congress' has 110 power to interfere, and the rights of the master over his slave in a Territory, under the Constitution, must,,. be determined by the Courts. Thus tho doctriue of non-intervention becomes more than ever the distinctive crociL-of tho Democratic party, for it is the doclrinc of the Constitution. 3d. That slave legally held in servitudc in a nc'ghboring State docs notac-: quire his freedom by coming or being brought voluntarily into a free State by his master, if he voluntarily returns to tho slave jurisdiction. This, as a principle of comity, has been acted on between tho States ever since the formation of the Fed-, oral Union, down to within a few years past, and then it was only questioned in tho States under the control of tho Abolitionists. In Indiana I can cite a notable'-, instance which occurred some years ago on the occasion of a political visit made by llcnry Clay to his friends in this State.— He came here to visit his friends, but bo came not alone, his body servant, his man. Charles, aecompanicd him. In tho quiet Quaker town of Richmond he first addressed our people, aud when the Quaker friends of that quiet town learned that there was a live slave among them they were greatly. moved in the spirit thereby. A petition was at once gotten up, and a man by tho name of Mcndcnhall was induccd to confront "l'rincc llal," and say to him, not that his man Charles was a free man mado so by being brought into our free State, but that it was the wish of that community that -Mr. Clay should frco hiin. Mr. Clay cast upon him one glance of his caglo eye, and told him to go home and mind his own business, that his man Charles knew where he was best off, and that was moro: than some of "them knew who meddled themselves about his affairs. Charles was not freed then, but went back to Kentucky and served his master to the day of his master's death, and wa3 finally freed by hi3 master's will. If he had not been, there would now be living in Kentucky an old negro by the name of Charles, that would make an excellent Drcd Scott. I recur to tLiis incident bccausc it shows, that in this part of the Drcd Scott case, there is nothing new or startling, but a plain and just principle that wc oi Indiana have always recognized.

But my remarks are becoming more cintended than I intended, nnd in conclusion 1 wish to say, let us stand firm by the Cincinnati platform, and by the Dred Scott decision. They are both right, they havo both received the endorsement oLthc Indiana Democracy, they are strictly iu consonance with each other, and they furnish together an ark of safety troin the storms of sectional strife. Without them we are at sea, in the troubled breakers, without pilot or helm guard or steer the she ship of State, and shipwreck and disaster must overtake us. i..-

I thank you for your attention and ain done. ,- OIL rou FUEL.—It is proposed to use coal oil for fuel instead of coal. It is computed that sixty-six gallons of oil would bo equal to a tun of coal. The oil in New York would cost $3 98 the tun of coal $4 30. Here is a saving not only in cost, but in storage-room and weight, that would be incalculable in the use of oil fuel by ocean steamers. A large steamer will tako say fifteen hundred tons oi coal on board, for a trip to Liverpool, liireo hundred aud seventy-five tuns of oil would do tho same work." Here would be room fur seven hundred and twenty-five tuns of freight. If taken at X'5, it would produce over X"5,600 sterling if at £\, it would produce JL"4,5uO

sterling. And persons convcrsaut

with the freight-lists of Liverpool steamers know how Ircqucntly they arc compelled to refuse freight. The men required to handle the coal to keep up the fires and to throw out the ashes, area large item in the expense of every steamers trip. fST The Greencastle Press says Judgo Ecklcs goes to Washington in a shcrt titu» to consult with the Government in regard to Utah affairs, and that his return to that Territory d*»ponds on th* rt*nlt of thnt ennsultatinu
