Let the People of the Teroitories determine the qitestion.—DOUGLAS. We call attention to the above concentrated essence of the three platforms before the country. The two sectional ones both urge intervention by Congress, while the (rue National and Union Faith, with Douglas as exponent, says: Leave the question to the People.

THE BRIGHT CONTENTION. On last Tuesday, about two hundred sore-heads, composed in part of postmasters and mail agents, assembled at Iudianapolis to nominate an electoral ticket.— Bright and Fitch managed the whole affair, and such was the low trickery and rascality exhibited in conducting the proceedings that Tom Wnlpole a zealous bolter, left the Convention in a rage and cursed Bright and Fitch as d—d scoundrels whose only object was to break up the Democratic party." There were only twenty counties represented, and these by men, in ninny instances, holding federal officcs, the balance being Republicans. The moist ridiculous thing performed by these allies of Lincoln, and which will raise the risibilities of every Democrat in the State, was a resolution appointing a committee to confer with the Central committee of the Democracy of the State to form a union electoral ticket. Their request will receive about the same attention that a dog would baying at the moon. Bright and Fitch arc politically d—d for nil time to come, and their treason will be repaid by the Democracy of Indiana with usurious vengeance.
••THE OLD RRASS PIECE" ON JESSE. Wc believe in fighting the devil with fire.
JOHN PETTIT,
a Federal Judge in
Kansas, comes here and sacrifices his indipendencc and manliness at the bidding of Jesse D. Bright. Judge Pettit would have taken no part in Indiana politics if he had not been forced to do so by the "right bower" of Mr. Buchanan. Those*»rtio are acquainted with the political history of Indiana well know the contempt with which Judge Pettit has regarded Senator Bright. Antfyet to retain his influence for future preferment we find the Kansas Judge ready to do the bidding of the Senator. No man better appreciates the character of Bright than Pettit. He knows the man, inside and out. Yet he has not the moral courage to act upon his own convictions. Wo call Judge Pettit to the stand and inquire of him whether he recollects one Indiana Senator having made the following estimate of the character of another Indiana Senator? We quote:
is greater and nobler than himself?"

In 1856, the Democratic vote in this State was 240,772 the Republican, 147,963 the American, 82,202. Total, 460,637. Democratic over Republican, 82,809 over American, 148,574 over both 607. The Republican minority on the popular vote was 165,011. And this too with

DOUGLAS,
just
as they do in New York. They will throw their vote whcre.it. will tell the best against the Interventionists, the two disunion candidates, BRECKINRIDGE and LINCOLN.— Should the.bolting candidate get one-third of the Democratic vote it would not defeat Mr
DOUGLAS. But he will do
no such
thing. The BELL and KVKRETT Tlnion men will see that no disunion candidate carries that State. Mark that.
S&" In the days of the Revolution our forefathers had to contend not only against an armed soldiery, but in many instances, against their own countrymen, men who were governors, port-collectors, agents for the sale of Btamp-papcr, and hundreds of public officers that King George in his royal favor had bestowed upon his colonial subjects. ThcBe men opposed the revolution. The competency of their Snug offices outbid their manhood, their patriotism and love of liberty. They sustained the King in his tyrannical policy and acted throughout the entire struggle as spies and traitors. In the contest now waging between the Democratic party and tho Abolition cohorts of the North, and the Disunionists of the South, wc find in many instances the Federal office holders of the present administration, shaking hands with the common enemy, and acting the part of base spies and traitors against their own brethren. Let the Democracy mark these ingrates, these serpents that have been warmed into life. Let the mark of Cain be branded on their foreheads that all men may know their true character.

I®* The Decatur (111.) Gaiette of the 24th gives an instance of the spirit that animates the young Douglas men of that State. He says a Republican of Bine Moand Township, in that county, has a farm on which resides a nephew, who is for Douglas. The ancle, determined to care the yonng man of his Democracy, gave him notice that if he did not go for Lincoln he must leave the farm. The young man has accepted the latter alternative, and will move off the farm rather than be compelled to vote against the great statesman of the West.
About the first thing Bright did after organizing his squad of postmasters and Republican hirelings, was to have a resolution passed (which he had drawn up with his own hand) endorsing his apostacy from the Democracy.

THE DEMONSTRATION ATTEKRE IIAUTE.
The Democratic mass meeting at Torre Haute, on Saturday, was one of the largest and moBt enthusiaetics demonstration ever held in the State—numbering at least 25,000 people in attendance. Our informant, states that if he had not been an eye witness he would not have believed it possible that so many people could have been assembled. He counted in one procession going into town, upon one road leading into the city, two hundred and eighty-one wagons. And similar scenes were witnessed upon the other roads. Iu the procession was a company of horsemen, well drilled, numbering not less than four hun| dred. The whole country around Tcrre Haute seemed to have emptied its inhab! itants into the city to give vent to their enthusiasm for Douglas and Johnson.
The highest speed ever attained by horse flesh was four miles in eleven and half minutes, or at the rate of thirty-three miles an hour. The highest speed of the locomotive, well authenticated, was on one of the English lines, at the rate of seven-ty-eight miles an hour.

When you hear any supporter of Lincoln, say the party of which he is the candidate have no design to interfere with slavery where it now exists, read to liita the following extracts from Helper's book:
The Impending Crisis of the South—a work every where received and mailed by the advocates of free labor as one of the most impregnable demonstrations of the justice of their cause, and the vital importance to its triumph, to our national and general well being. Were every citizen in possession of the facts embodied in this book, we feel confident that slavery would PEACEFULLY pass away, while a Republican triumph in 1860 would be morally certain.

How little the above horrible declaration which has been "cordially indorsed" by 68 Republican members of the 35th Congress, sounds like the preaching of the modern patent right stump speakers of that faction, who insist, while preaching, that "they have no design upon slavery in the States where it exists, but only to prevent its extension."

THE GALLANT CONDUCT OF MR. DOUGLAS.—The

Senator Douglas is fighting a gallant battic. We admire his courage and energy-. So far as his principles and policy tend in the right direction ho has our sympathy

There are thousands of men, heretofore Republican, who so admire" the courage and energy of Mr. Douglas, that they will vote for him in November.
t3T If the election were left to the votes of our children, Dr. Bull would certainly be our next President. His Vcgeatable Worm Destroyer has given him a place in their grateful recollections, from which he will not soon be displaced.

THE LFL.LIENME DOUUI.AM MEETING IN CLEVELAND.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer, in speaking of the Douglas and Johnson meeting on Monday night in that city, says
The oldest inhabitants' were taken all aback by the Douglas demonstration on the Square last night. An old resident, and he a whig, said, for thirty years, he had lived in Cleveland, including, of course the log-cabin campaign he had seen nothing to compare with that demonstration. The sight was grand, magnificent! Tho vast crowd in the Square, the masses on the sidewalks, the spectators in the windows and npon the bouse-tops, lining the streets
and park,
the almost endless line of the
procession, bearing torches and circling the Square, amid the shouts of thtf multi
tude,
the blaxo of rockets and booming of «.tnnrm. m»do a scene rarely witnessed since the old Carnivals of Rome."

What is the extent of this proposition Nothing more nor less than a set of men who own no property—for elsewhere he says "the non-slaveholders area set of poor ignorant, passionate, prejudioed tools" of the "oligarchs"—to free tlic^ slaves, take possession of all the lands of tho South, including plantations and all, and divide them among themselves. And this was one of old John Brown's darling schcmcs. But John Brown found, when it teas too late, that the non-slaveholders and slaves would none of his projects—wanted none of his bounties offered in infamy—wanted no wealth gotten in "blood and carnage."

CAD. WASHBURN, and 67 others The foregoing "legal opinions" are of so much importance that it is necessary to the promulgation of Republican political principles to have them indorsed by 68 Republican members of the 35th Congress, and, that too, "cordially," to make them go down with the masses. Aud now wc would coolly and "cordially" ask, whether, after the foregoing extracts from the veritable "Helper's Impending Crisis," published by Burdick Bros., 8 Spruce street, N. Y., 1857, and adopted into the Black Republican creed by the indorsement of nearly all the members of that party in the 35th Congress, whether the masses of that party are not convinced that the abolition of slavery, wherever it exists, regardless of consequences, is now the corner stone of Blnck Republicanism or, that Abolitionism is only Republicanism "boiled down" —concentrated, and that Republicanism is Abolitionism merely sugar-coatcd.

And why docs Bright hurl these impotent anathemas Because the leading politicians" and the Democratic press of the State, with two or three exceptions, will not permit personal preferences, private animosities, or disappointed hopes," to control them, but stand by the usages of the party, abide its decisions and support its nominocs. .That in the eyes of Air.

great political
crime. Mr. Bright is not influenced by principle in his fight with Mr. Douglas. It is purely personal. And in his present warfare upon the Democratic party, he violates the pledge he made to the people of Bartholmcw county, August 30, 1857, when ho said that 110 consideration of that character should influence him," for he said:
Tho perpetuation of the Democratic party in power is as essential to the progress and growth, the welfare artd prospcrity of this Government, as the Biblo is to the moral and religious eulture of tho human family."
But we turn Jesse over to tho tender mercies of tlio gentleman whom he denounces with so much bitterness. Wo fear he has become an infidel, and no longer regards the Bible as necessary to tho moral and religious culture of the human family."—State Sentinel.
HENRY CI/AY ON THE MLAVERY ESTION. In 1850, in a debate with Jefferson Davis, of Mississippi, on tho Coinproiniso Measures, Henry Clay said: "Mr. Clay—I do not understand fho Senator from Mississippi, as proposing that if any one shall carry slaves into the Territory—although by the laws of the Territory he can not take tliem—the legislative hands of the Territorial Government should be so tied as to prevent, it, saying he shall not enjoy tho fruits of their labor: If the Senator from Mississippi means to say that— "Mr. Davis—I do mean to say it. "Mr. Clay—If the object of the Senator is to provide that slavery may br. introduced into the Territory contrary to tho lex bci, and being introduced, nothing shall be done by the Legislature to impair the -rights of owners to hold slaves^ thus bought, I certainly can not vote for it.

While Iain willing to lay olT
the Territories without the VVilniot Proviso on the one hand, or without an attempt to introduce a clause for the introduction of slavery into the Territories—while 1 am rejecting both the one and the other— I am content that the laws shall prevail, and if there be any diversity of opinion a.i to it, Ianiwilling it shall be settled by the highest judicial authority of the country." —Extracts from a debate between Henri/ Clay and Jeff. Davis, May 18, 1850.
That is exactly tho opinion of Senator DOUGLAS and the Democratic party at tho present time.

A business letter received from an intelligent gentleman in the South, contains the following. It was written to a citizen of this city, from whom wc have leave to make tho extract:
You ask me if I fear disunion, if Lincoln is elected If Breckinridge^ should be sustained by a very heavy vote iu the Southern States, an attempt may be made to breakup the Union. There can be no doubt of the existence of a strong party in the Gulf States who arc working iu good earnest for a dissolution of the Union.— Sooner or later they will unfurl their colors. Their talk now is, that it is useless to wait for concert of action—that sonic one State, or part of a State, must Like tho initiative that if the attempt to scccdo peaccably should be resisted by the General Government, the whole of the South will be forced to their support in order to sustain the principle of State Sovereignty and State rights. Keitt's letter is not entirely a bluff. He expresses the views of a very large class. The most of the people in the South arc not yet prepared for the movement, but the work of preparation is constantly going on.—Cm. Enq.
TIMELY ADVICE TO A POOR BUT TALENTED YOUTH.—A
story is told of the cele
brated Paley. When at the University he was giving himself up to dissipation. One morning, before he was up, a young lord, one of his companions in wild follies, came into his room. I have been thinking," said he, Paley, what a fool you are I am rich, and belong to a powerful family. It is not so much matter what I do here. But you arc poor and have your own way to make in the world. You arc a man of talent and literary tasto. Everything depends upon yourself to study now and you are fooling away your only chance." The future Arch-deacon, says from that moment he was changed. He gave up all dissipation, and began immediately to lay the
foundation of
that learning which made
him one of tho most eminent men of his time. ANOTHER VOTE—STRAWS, &C.—A oar load of prisoners arrived over the Jeffersonville Railroad last night on their way to the Penitentiary North, at Michigan city. A vote was taken for President which resulted in the giving of 45 for Lincoln, 2 for Breckinridge, and 1 for Douglas .—Indianapolis Sentinel.
It is highly proper that this Black Republican element should be transported to tho more Northern region of Miohigaa City.
