The doctrine of negro equality, to which the Rcpublic&n leaders are rapidly giving is their adhcaion aa one of the principal planks in their platform, is shocking to trery man who entertains a just and proper sense of the relation of the two races, they exist in this country. The Anglo Saxon is the highest type of the human race, while the African is the lowest and the very thought of placing these races on asocial and political equality, aaadvocated by the abolition fanatics, strikes the mind of sober, reflecting men with a shock from which they do not eaaily recover.— The amalgation of the Spaniard with the negro and the Indian in Mexico has produced immense evils, bnt these evils are i& no way comparable with those which would result from a similar event in this country. But we need not dwell on this subjcct. All the horrors which would result upon the adoption of the doctrine of negro equality come up before the imagination at once ond unbidden.

It is far from our intention to charge the mass of those who intend to vote for Lincoln with any proclivity for negro equality. We do not believe that they arc particularly wedded to that doctrine. Wc may go farther, and say that wc believe there is scarcely any portion of the Republicans in this part of the country who have any patience with or toleration for such sentiments. But wo would ask tlicm to look into the strongholds of. Republicanism, and mark the progress which the.*: extravagant notions as to the rights of negroes have made there. Let them look at Massachusetts where negroes have been placed on a full equality with whites, so far as it can be dono by statutory enactments. Negro children are there admitted into the public schools to sit side by side with the white children negroes arc permitted to drill in the same militia companies with the whites negroes arc allowed to practice laws in the courts, and to vote on a shorter residence than is exacted of white men when they happen to be born in a foreign country. Indeed, in that model Re"publican State—the birth place of the Republican party—the doctrine of negro equality has been fully established.

Coming farther West we fiud the same "state of things existing in that hotbed of ^Republicanism, the Western Reserve of Ohio. In Obcrlin College white and black male and female pupils, are mixed up promiscuously, and the whites compelled to t.rcat the negroes as in all respects their equals while the citizens at large take negroes into their families, and treat them with an entire familiarity.

Ihcscarc the fruits of l»rjnblieanism where there are too few Democrats ami conservative men to exercise a salutary and healthy influence on public opinio '.— .Arc there any so blind as not to see that the moment Black Republicanism, with nuch men as Lovcjo)*, Greeley, Hyatt, Julian, anil (biddings as the leading spirits, get full .sway, that they will break down nil barriers, and insist on making the equality of the races an avowed plank in their platform It sccius to us such must be the effect of elevating the Republican party into power, and giving the reins of government into the hands of the ultra an-ti-slavery party. Men identified with the

Republican party, but who now deprecate everything squiuting towards negro equality, will, in order to keep within the party piilc, bo led on, step by step, til they find themselves advocating principles which they have from infancy been taught to abhor. and which they now do abhor.

All who have not thoroughly identified themsclvos with the Republican party should carefully examine not only the professed principles, but the inevitable tendency of the doctrines of that party, before concluding to vote for its candidate for President and Viec-Frcsident, and thus assist in bringing about a slate of things which wc believe they would have reason to deplore in after years.—New Album/ Ledcer.

TUXTM i'on Tin: *I:CI:I»I:hm. General Joseph Lane, thc secession candidate for the Vice Presidency, in a speech delivered in thc Senate on thc 19th cf December, 1S ')9, defining his position upon the Territorial and slavery issues, three years after the Dred Seott decision, said

Congress has no power over thc question of slavery they cannot under the Constitution establish it in a Territory or prohibit it."

Hon. Jessie D. Bright, in a speech in the Senate upon the Leconiptcn issue, March 20th, 1S5S, expressed tho followiuc sentiments in refcrcnce to popular rights

So strong, Mr. President, is my conviction of thc viciousness of thc principle of submitting to a direct vote of thc people thc propriety of the cnactmcntor rejection of laws, that for one I am prepared to extend the same objection to the submission of entire Constitutions to thc same tribunal."

In another part of tho same speech he declared that tho submission of Constitutions for ratification or rejection, is a noxious horosy."

Be Content—Pyrrhus would first conquer Africa and then Asia, and then live merrily and take his case but when Cyncas, the orator told him he might do that already, rested satisfied, condemning his own folly.

Thou hast enough he that is wet in a bath can be no more wet if ho bo ilnng into the ocean itself and if thou hast all the world, or a ^solid mass of gold as big as the world, thou canst not have more than enough.—

THET 9IKJUV A SLAVI CtBE. The Louisville Democrat thus criticises Mr. Brcckinridge's letter of acceptance

Breckinridge in his leftcr of acceptance says The friends of Constitutional equality do not and never did demand a Congressional slave codc, nor any other code, in regard to property in the Territories.— They hold the doctrinc of non-intervention by Congress, or by a Territorial Legislature, either to establish or prohibit slave-

We ask the particular attention of Mr. Brcckinridge's supporters to this declaration.

We undertake to say that slavery never did and never can exist in a civilized State without a "slave code ," or in other words without laws regulating tho tenure of the property, and the relation of master and slave.

Wc have such a code in Kentucky— such a codc exists in every slave State of the Union.

Arc slaves real or personal property Are they subject to sale or execution Arc they subject to the same criminal laws as freemen Can the owner of a slave cruclly and inhumanly abuse and maltreat him with impunity How arc sales of slaves to be effected, by writing or by parol Can a slave be witness for or against his master If a. slave is executed for a criminal offense, shall a master be compensated for his loss by the Territory or the United States

These and a hundred other questions will be constantly arising in all communities where slaves arc held. They must be settled by statute law, and that statute law is a slave codc."

Slavery, like all things else, must be regulated by law, and by laws particularly framed to meet its peculiarities. General laws regulating other property are inapplicable. A man may kill his horse or his ox, and if slaves arc simple property, held by the same tenure and governed b}r the same laws, he may kill them also. But even South Carolina would hardly openly avow such a doctrine as yet, whatever she may come to hereafter.

Then it is clear that wherever slavery exists it must be regulated and governed by positive law. It is not enough that the Constitution should, as Mr. Breckinridge claims, rccognize and secure the right of a Kentuckian to carry his slaves into Kansas. lie needs laws when there, not only to protect him in possession of his property, but to define his tenure and regulate all nutters connected therewith. Such laws arc iudispcnsible, and the only question is, who shall enact them—the representatives of a Territory, or a Black Republican Congress

m. BRECKiKtBinert IITTKB OF ACCErrAIICE-Hn I»KA STATE KQUAIilTY-

Mr BRECKINRIDGE'S leter of acceptance of the nomination of the bolters is quite lengthy, much more so than usual in responses of that nature. He seems to have felt uneasy under his position, and thought that it was necessary to make an argument, or rather an apology, for it. Without noticing the minor points of this document, let us look at its fundamental principles or ideas. It is this, stripped of all its verbal and wordy circumlocution:

That slavery, the institutions of fifteen States in the Confederacy, is fastened upon all the territory outside of the States which belong to the General Government, and that no power exists in the people of the Territories to prohibit it until they are admitted as States into the Union, an event which may never happen, as it depends upon the pleasure of Congress. Mr. BRECKINRIDGE believes- tliiit all our territory" is dedicated to slavery, and' that the people who reside under Territorial organizations have no right to copy the institutions which prevail in eighteen States of the Union where slavery does not exist.— If we should acquircall the Territory from here to Cape Horn, the local institutions of

the fifteen slave States would be their law.

to the exclusion of the institutions of the eighteen free States. This is Mr. BRECKINRIDGE'S doctrine, and he calls it, strange to say, State Equality! It should be termed State inferiority and sectional inequality! It is an exclusion of the labor system of Northern States from the public domain, even although the people on that domain desire it. It gives all the Territories to the South, so far as law can do it. lie is not willing to com-

They have or disappointed hopes" should not para-jns much right to say that all of the United lyze his energies or lessen his efforts for States territory shall be^ free territory, the perpetuation of the Democratic party, whether the people want it or not, as the

people of the South to say that it shall be all slave territory, under those circumstances.

Thc people of the free States, at least the Democracy, want nothing but State equality in regard to the pubic domain.— They will accept of that, but they will take nothing less. The citizcns of Ohio will never agree that the citizcn of Kentucky can take with liim to thc Territory his State law authorizing slavery, any more than he can take his, prohibiting it. The position of Mr. BRECKINRIDGE destroys State equality, and it destroys local popular sovereignty. We defy him to place his finger upon any claus in the Constitution of thc United States which supports or gives any countenance to this dogma which he advocates. He can only deduce it from the old Federal idea of constructive power and necessary implications from ceded grants, which would destroy all writtcd constitutions. Mr. BRECKINRIDGE says: '"The people will look beneath such expressions as 'Intcvcntion,' 'Congressional Slave-code,' and thc like, and will penetrate to the real questions involved. The friends of Constitutional equality do not and never did demand a 'Congressional Slave-code,' nor any other codc in regard to property in thc Territories. They hold the doctrines of non-intervention by Congress or by a Territorial Legislature either to establish or prohibit slavery, but they assert (fortified by thc highest judicial tribunal in the Union) thc plain duty of the Federal Government, in all its departments, to secure, when necessary, to the citizens of all the States, the enjoyment of their property in thc common Territories as every where else within its jurisdiction."

While the candidate of thc Bolters states that a "slave-code" has never been demanded, and that he is iu favor of Congressional non-intervention, he assures us in the same breath that slavery exists in thc Teritorics of this Union—yes, in every foot of them—beyond the power of the people' to prevent it, and that it is the duty of thc Federal Government—Congress

neluded—to see that thc owners of slaves

non-intervention is that! Our Southern friends would appreciate it if thc Democrats of thc North should favor Congressional non-intervention as long as the people of the Territories dccided against slavery, but when they were for it they believed it "necessary" to apply thc Congressional prohibition! They would not like such non-intervention as that. Mr. BRECKINRIDGE'S position is completely sectional, illiberal and illogical, and is in every respect as bad and as obnoxions to thc free States as the WXLMOT Proviso is to thc slave State. His statement that the Supreme Court had sanctioned such a doctrine is without foundation in fact.—Cincinnati Enquire.

Frflm Robert Dale Owen's. Footfalls on the Boundary Of Another World. THE TUIOSABI EXCCBSIOS.

In June of the year 1857, a lady whom I shall designate as Mrs. A— was residing with her husband, a Colonel in the British army, and their infant child, on Woolwich Common, near London.

One night in the early part of that month, suddenly awaking to consciousness, she felt herself as if standing by the bedside and looking upon her own body, which Jay there by the side of her sleeping husband. Her first impression was that she had died suddenly and the idea was confirmed by the pale and lifeless look of the body, the face void of expression, and the whole appearance showing no sign of vitality. She gazed at it with curiosity for some time, comparing its dead look with that of the fresh countenances of her husband and of her slumbering infant in a cradle hard by. For a moment she espericnced a feeling of relief that she bnd escaped the pangs of death but next she reflected what a grief her death would be to the survivors, and then came a wish that she could have broken the news to them gradually. While engaged in these thoughts, she felt herself carried to the wall of the room, with a feeling that it must arrest her further progress. But, no, she seemed to pass through it, into the open air. Outside the house was a tree and this also she appeared to.traverse, as if it interposed no obstacle. All this oecurcd without any desire on her part.— Equally, without having wished or expectherseif, after a time, on

sentinel, she returned to the bnraacks, and there heard the clock strike three. Immediately after this she found herself in thc bedchamber of an intimate friend, Miss then residing at Greenwich.— With her she seemed to commciice a oonversation, but its purport she did not afterwards distinctly rccollect, for soon after it began she was conscious of seciug and hearing nothing more.

So far there appeared to be nothing beyond an ordinarj' phenomenon, such as constantly occur during sleep. It is not, indeed, customary to dream of seeing oursclf, but who shall set limits to thc vagaries of the sleeping fancy

Thc sequel, however, contains the puzzle, and some may think, one of those explanatory hints that are worth nothing not even reflecting on.

No allusion whatever was made to the subject uppermost in their thoughts and after a while they all threo walked out into thc garden.

In the town of Acton, Me., on a beautiful ridge of land situated about a milo. from Milton Mills, N. II., stands a cottage farm house, unpretending in its appearance, and bearing evidence of a very respectable antiquity. The passer by will ofen notice a gray-haired man, reading at-'" by the window, or walking about itli a single eaue—perchancc engaged in the ordinary labors of the husbandman.—

Although no pains were taken to extend a notice of the event beyond the immediate vicinity of the veteran's residence, a very largo concourse of people were in attendance.— Tec features of tho occasion were an address. and one hundred and four greetings from a twelve pounder, and a dinner enlivened with toasts ar.d speeches.

Mr. Farnum, we learn, was not iu" tho midst of thc battle. Having been enrolled only on the day previous, it was his lot, to be detailed among a guard to take charge of artillery and baggage, at some distance from the redoubt. In so close a proximity to the principal' ccenc of strife the observations which lie made, and distinctly recollccts to this day, are highly interesting, and wc trust they will be given to the public by some competent pen' When v:e reflect how few persons living can even remember the event itse.lt—as child of twelve at that time would now be, ninety-five years old—a living actor inv that blc.ody drama becomes at once an object of interest, respect and veneration.
