II. V. Johnson.

Jt is a fact which cannot be denied, that H. V. Johnson the candidate for Vice President on the Douglas ticket is ft thorough pro-slavery man is and has been in favor of a slavo code for the protection of slave property in the territories. Ilis opinions of to-day are those uttered in Congress 12 years ago. Is there, can there be honesty in placing him on the ticket with Douglas, who professes opposition to such doctrines? Arc they not playing the same old game of preaching sqiiattcr sovereignty in the North and a slave code in tho South? The day for such a game has passed—the people can no longer be duped by such contemptible trickery. Mr. Johnson is intensely pro-sla-very—has no respect for the working classes—believes them only fit for slavery—regards them as- unworthy of and unfit for freedom—thinks thev should be owned by the rich, and should never be permitted to rise to tho dignity of freemen.

Will the laborers, the mechanics of Indiana, vote for such a man? Can they vote, for him who would make them wear tho chains of slavery and crouch before tho rich man's lash? The laborer who would vote for such a man thinks more of his party than he does of his country or his freedom.,

^^Republicanism is rapidly on the increasein Kentucky. Theearnestdiscussion of the subject of slavery for years past, has opened the eyes of many tho clouds of prejudice have passed from their minds, the light of truth has flashed upon them, and they are awakening to a just senso of the rights of man as man. Notwithstanding tho good results flowing from the discussion of slavery and its extension, there are those who say "let it alone, stop tho discussiou no more agitation is needed.^-., Such teachings are as absurd as the wild ravings of the maniac. In this day of light, activity and learning, when knowledge is spreading like the ocean tide over the world*, it is vain to attempt to crush, the spirit. e£ investigation or check the agitation-of moral questions. Men of mind will think, and thought will find expression, and expression will produce agitation, and agitation .will heavo the public heart until the world is arousod to a sense of right, and the rights of man secured by wholesome laws,

P. S. Since tho

4\bcvo

was put in

typo our old-line neighbors have returned from tho grand Douglas and Johnson ratification at tho Capitol with long faces and terrified hearts.— No crowd, no enthusiasm! Douglas and Johnson can't be swallowed together: ^It is nauseating to the stomach of tho masses and long before the ides of November, a majority of the rank and file, will be found "throwing up Jonah.

Charles whistles manfully to

keep up his little courage, but it won't do. His looks undo him and his appearance is that of a man suffering under all tho ills mentioned in that formidable array for the cure of which Roback'8 purifier is recommended. Don't take it so hard Charles, dear—behave yourself for a year or two—take a little truth in broken doses until you get used to it, and we may tako you into our party after a while. Be a little man and don't cry until we give you a licking in November when of course, we will indulge you in a short season of grief. We don't want an}- more illtempered remarks out of you ifyou design coming into our party—i/ou conquer the flesh—ice will conquer the Devil—you need'nt trouble j'ourself about that—purify yourself and you ?nay take a l^ack seat in the National Republican synagogue yet beforo you die—which would undoubtedly be a comfort to you in that trying hour.— By extra exertions you might nestle in Abraham's bosom before the frosts of another winter—but. your associations have been of that character, that you will require much training, in the ways of truth.

B^Charles feels gritty becauso the Boone County Pioneer saw fit to hoist tho Breckinridge and Lane ticket.— Says that Buckinham, the editor, is a chattel owned by Jesse D. Bright.— If this is the case JTOU should not complain, for Herschell remarks that "capital should own its labor." It is democratic—real simon pure Rump democratic, and though it does grind you, you should grin and bear it, remembering that these light afflictions must be borne with fortitude and christian resignation. The day of thy great tribulation is come—fret not thy gizzard, neither snort when thine anguish is upon thee.

figfCharles of the Review, calls -'J. B." a "hoary-headed vi-IIian," and adds that "his name will bo resorded in the history of the traitors all of which we do not object to, as tho fuss is all in his own family. The only wonder is that Charles should have made his discovery known at this late date. If his readers had read a reliable Republican paper they would have been in possession of that information four years ago. You mustkceppostcdneighbor— it won't do to be four years behind the times.

jggg-'Tho "Count" calls Bebcc of the Banner of Liberty, a Judas, and insinuates that he has received his price of thirty pieces of silver, for his influence forBrecklnridge&Lane. We should'nt wonder, as the Covodo investigations have shown that the "thirty pieces" has been the price of almost every Democratic press and politician in the country. You should not expose the workings of the party Count, because the larger portion don't happen to think and act with you. Keep shady, you may havo occasion to use tho thirty pieces yourself beforo thojToar is out.

Eastern Advertisers.

We are daily in receipt of advertisements from unknown persons of eastern cities, with the request that we insert the same for six months, one year, &c., as the case may be, and as they may direct, and "send bill." Wo aro sorely tired of these humbugs and now, once and for all, most respectfully inform these leeches on western Publishers, that whenever they have advertising they wish done through the columns of the Journal, all that is necessary for them to do, is to consult our bill of rates, inclosing copy and fees accordingly, and the work will be promptly attended to otherwise, gentlemen, you arc spending your time and postage to no purpose whatever. Dr. Charles Albert, (N. Y. we can't do do any thing for you! \'ou may bo able as you say, to cure "diseases of a delicate nature but there is one thing wo know you can't do, viz: publish quack advertisements through the columns of the Journal on "tick." There is no use talking-\ You win do well sir if you intend to- continuo business, to make an entry of this in your book of books, for future referewce.

WHITE, Esq., our candidate for State Senator, will address the meeting. Turn out Republicans, one and all!

I®"It is said that the Breckinridge and Lane men intend establishing a paper at this place, to be called the "National Democrat." We have not learned who the Editor is to be, but presume it will be ably conducted, as the entire talent of the late Democratic party is centered in this wing.

8@k,Tho Rumps in this vicinity used to glory in the name of unterrified democracy. The Breckinridge wing have divided the thing with them, taking the first two letters and the last word, leaving them tho truly terrified Rumps.

Bgk,Charles howls because we don't pay moro attention to tho next President, "Honest Old Abo." Attend to 3'our own business Charles—you have enough to do—wo aro getting along well enough. The voters arc flocking by hundreds to our standard Administer what little advice and consolation you may havo to the fow remaining rumps. It is a bad time to attend to other people's business when your own is suffering as it now is.

fl®*"Every day we hear of accessions to the ranks of Republicanism. In Montgomery county alone, over one hundred and sixty voters have left the Rump Democracy within the last month and declared themselves for Honest Old Abe and Hannibal of Maine. The great principles which the Republicans advocate, is tho cause «f this stampede from the ranks of the Rumps.

ENTHUSIASTIC.—A largo crowd con sisting of three men and two boys, left town in a two horse wagon last Saturday, to assist the Rumps of the vicinit}T of Whitesville, in "nailing Douglas and Johnson to the top of a stately Hickory."

KEGRO EQUALITY.

Tho DeKalb Count}- Sentinel, of June 21,1860, published at Sycamore, Illinois, and edited by E. L. Mayo and John Norris, carries the following ticket for President at its head: "FOR PRESIDENT, 18G0,

STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS." And then it has the following article in favor of Negro'Equality: "Our education has been such that wo have ever been in favor of the equality of the Blacks that is, that they should enjoy all the privileges of the whites where they reside. Wo are aware that this is not a very popular doctrine. We have had many a confab with somo who are now strong Republicans—we taking the strongground of equality, and they the opposite ground. "We were brought up in a State where the blacks were voters, and we do not know any inconvenience resulting from it though perhaps it would not work so well where the blacks are more numerous. We have no doubt of the right of the whites to guard against such an evil, if it is one. Our opinion is, that it would be best for all concerned, to have the colored population in a State to themselves but if within the jurisdiction of the United States, we say, by all means, they should havo the right to their Senators and Representatives in Congress, and to vote for President. With us, 'worth makes the man, and tho want of it the fellow.'— We have seen many a 'nigger' that we thought more of than some white men."

Now, there, with what kind of a grace docs the chargc of negro equality come from the supporters of Mr. Douglas?— If it be a sin to bo branded as infamous, then, here is a Douglas organ avowing it. Let the miserable demagogues of that party hereafter look at home, and when they wish to rebuke Negro Equality doctrines, commence in their own household.

SQUATTER SOVEREIGNTY Ai\D SLAVERY.

Mr. Douglas' Opinion of bis own Dogma.

Somo of the speakers at the DOUGLAS ratification gathering, tho other evening, strenuously argued that they were better Free-Soil men than the Republicans—that the Squatter Sovereignty policy of DOUGLAS is more effective against slavery than even the Wilmot Proviso would be. We commend to all sufeh talkers, and to those who hear them, the following from Mr. DOUGLAS' own life, on this subject.—Cin. Gazette 1. .AV+*. IFrorn Mr. Douglas'Speech in thoSonato, May 10,

1800.]

But, wo are told that the necessary result of this doctrino of Non-inter-vention, which gentlemen, by way of throwing ridicule upon, call Squatter Sovereignty, is to deprive tho South of all participation in what they call the common Territories of tho United States. That Avas the ground on which the Senator from Mississippi (Mr. Davis) predicated his opposition to the compromise measure of 1850.

He regarded a refusal to repeal the Mexican law as equivalent to tho Wilmot Proviso a refusal to recognize by an act of Congress the right to carry a slavo there as equivalent to the Wilmot Proviso a refusal to deny to a Territorial Legislature tho right to exclude slavery as equivalent to an exclusion. He believed at that time that this doctrine did amount to a denial of Southern rights and he told tho people of Mississippi so but they doubted it.—Now, let us see how far his predictions and suppositions have been verified.— I infer that he told the people so, for as he makes it a chargc in his bill of indictment against me, that I am hostile to Southern rights, because I gave those votes.

Now, what has been tho result? My views wore incorporated into the compromise measures of 1S50, and his were rejected. Has the South been excluded from all tho territory acquired from Mexico? What says the bill from the House of Representatives now on your table, repealing the slave code in New Mexico, established by the people themselves? It is part of tho history of the country that under this doctrine of non-intervention, this doctrino that you delight to call squatter sovereignty, the people of New Mexico have introduced and protected slavery in the whole of that Territory. Under this doctrino they have converted a tract of free territory into slave territoiy, more than five times tho size of the State of New York.

Under

this doctrin e, slavery

has been extended from the Rio Grande to the Gulf of California,-and from the lino of the Republic of Mexico, not only up to 36 deg. 30 min., but up to 38 deg.—giving you a degree and a half more Blave territory than you ever Clfimed,

In 1848 and 1849 and 1850,

"9U only asM to have the line of 36 dw.30 miu. The Ntuhrille Conrention fixed that as its xiiwli18™1111, fered it in tho Senate in August, io-*o, and it was adopted here, but rejected in the House of Representatives. You asked only up to 3£ deg. 30 min., and non-intervention has given you slave territory up to 38 deg., a degree and a half more than you asked and yet vou say this is a sacrifice of Southern rights?

These are the fruits of this principle which the Senator from Mississippi regards as hostile to the rights of the South. Where did- you ever get any pther fruits that ^vere. more palatable

to your taste or more refreshing to your strength? What other inch of free territory has been converted into slave territory on the American' continent, since the Revolution, except in New Mexico and Arizona, under the principle of non-intervention affirmed at Charleston? If it be true that this principle of non-intervention has conferred upon you all that immense territory, has protected slavery in that comparatively northern and cold region where you did not expect it to go, cannot you trust the same principle further South when you come to acquire additional territory from Mexico, which was surrounded on nearly every side by free territory? Will not the same principle protect you in the northern States of Mexico when they are acquired, since they are now surrounded by slave territory are several hundred miles further South have many degrees of greater heat and have a climate and soil adapted to Southern products? Are'you not satisfied with these practical results? Do you desire to appeal from the people of the Territories to the Congress of the United States to settle this question in the Territories? When you distrust the people and appeal to Congress, with both Houses largely against you on this question, what sort of protection will 3tOU get? Whenever you ask a slave code from Congress to protect your institutions in a Territory where tho people do not want it, you will get that sort of protection which thewolf gives to the lamb you will get that sort of friendly hug that the grizzly bear gives to the infant. Appealing to Anti-Sla-very Congress to pass laws of protection, with a view of forcing slavery upon an unwilling and hostile people!— Sir, of all the mad schemes that ever could be devised by tho South, or by tho enemies of the South, that which recognizes tho right of Congress to touch the institution of slavery either in States or Territories, beyond the single case provided in the Constitution for the rendition of fugitive slaves is the most fatal.

Acceptance of the Hon. Jolm C. Breckinridge. DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONTENTION,

BALTIMORE, Md., June 23, 1860. SIR: I am directed by vote of the Democratic National Convention to inform you that you have been this day unanimously nominated by it as the candidate of the Democratic party for tho office of President of the United States and in their behalf to request you to accept the nomination. 1 beg leave at the same time to inclose you a copy of the resolutions adopted by the Convention as thepolitical platform on which the party stands. I have the honor to be, Very respectfully,

C. GUSHING, President.

WASHINGTON CITV, July C, 1860. DEAR SIR: I have your letter of the 23d ultimo, by which I am officially informed of my nomination for the office of President of the United States by the Democratic National Convention lately assembled at Baltimore. ..

The circumstances of this nomination will justify me in referring to its personal aspect.

I lijfvfe not sought nor desired to bo placed before the country for the office of President. When my name was presented to the Convention at Charleston, it was withdrawn by a friend in obedience to my expressed wishes.— My views had not changed when the Convention reassembled 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 my friends.

Without discussing the occurrcnces which preceded the nominations, and which are, or soon will be, well understood by the country, I have only to say that I approved, as just and necessary to the preservation of the National organization, and the sacred right of representation, the 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 solect the position I shall occupy, nor to shrink from the responsibilities of the post to which I have been assigned. Accordingly, I accept the nomination from a sense of public duty and, as I think, uninfluenced in any degree by the allurements of ambition.

I avail myself of this occasion to say that the confidence in my personal and public character implied by the action of the Convention, av 11 alwa3*s be gratefully remembered and it is but just, also, to my own feelings to express my gratification at the association of my name with that of mj- friend General Lane, a patriot and soldier whose great services in the field and in council entitle him to the gratitude and confidence of his countrymen.

The resolutions adopted by the Convention have my cordial approval.— They aro just to all parts of the Union, to all our citizens, native and naturalized, and they form a noble policy for any Administration.

The questions touching the rights of persons and property, which have of late been much discussed, find in these resolutions a constitutional solution.— Our Union is a Confederacy of equal sovereign States, for the purposes enumerated in the Federal Constitution.— Whatever the common Government holds in trust for all the States must be enjoyed equally by each. It controls the Territories in trust for all the States. Nothing less than sovereignty can destroy or impair the rights of persons or property.

The Territorial Governments are subordinate and temporary, and not sovereign henco they cannot destroy of nei'fona or or impair tne

1

property. While the}* contniuC ,° Territories they are under tho control of Congress, but the Constitution nowhere confers on any branch of the Federal Government the power to discriminate against the rights of the States or the property of their citizens in the Territories, it follows that the citizens of all the States may enter the Territories of the Up ion with, their property, of whatever kind, and enjoy it during the territorial, condition

out let or hindrance, either bj' Congress or by the subordinate Territorial Governments.

These principles flow directly from the absence of sovereignty in the Territorial Governments, and from the equality of tho States. Indeed, they are essential to that equality, which is, and ever has been, the vital principle of our constitutional Union. They have been settled legislatively—settled judicially, and are sustained by right reason. They rest on tho rock of 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 partisan phrases, which are misleading and delusive. The people will look beneath such expressions as "Intervention," Congressional Slave Code," and the like, and will penetrate to the real questions involved. Tho friends of Constitutional equality do not and never did demand a "Congresrional Slave Code," nor any other code in regard to property in the Territories. They hold the doctrines of nonintervention by Congress or by a Territorial Legislature, either to establish or prohibit Slavery but they assert (fortified by the highest judicial tribunal in the Union) the 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 of the common Territories, as everywhere else within its jurisdiction. The only logical answer to this would seem to be to claim sovereign power for the Territories or deny that the Constitution recognizes property in the services of negro slaves, or to deny that such property can exist.

Inexorable logic, which works its steady way through clouds and passion, compels the country to meet the issue. There is no evasive middle 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 tho struggle must come between this party and the National Democracy, sustained by all the other conservative elemements in the Union.

I think it will bo impossible for a candid mind to discover hostility to the Union or a taint of sectionalism in the resolutions adopted by the Convention. The Constitution and the Union repose on the equality of the States, which lies like abroad foundation underneath our whole political structui'c. As I construe them, the resolutions simply assert this equality. They demand nothing for any State or section that is not cheerfully conceded to all tho rest. It is well to remember that the chief disorders which haveafflictod ourcountry have grown out of the violation of State equality, and that as long as this great principle has been respected we havo been blessed with harmony and peace. Nor will it be easy to persuade the country that resolutions are sectional which command the support of a majority of the States, and are approved by the bone and body of the old Democracy, and by a vast mass ofconserservativc opinion everywhere, without regard to party.

It has been necessaiy, more than once in our history, to pause and solemnly assert the true character of this Government. A memorable instance occurred in the struggle which ended in the civil revolution of 18!)0. The Republicans of that dajr, like the Democracy of this, wTero stigmatized as disunionists, but they nobly, conducted the contest under the Constitution, and saved our political sj'stem. By a like constitutional struggle it is intended to assert and establish the equality of the States, as the only basis of union and peace.

When this object, so national, so constitutional, so just, shall be accomplished, the last cloud will disappear from tho American sky, and with common hands and hearts the States and the pcoplo will unite to develop the resources of the whole country, to bind it together with the bonds of intercourse and brotherhood, and to impel it onward in its great career.

The Constitution and the Equality of the States? These are symbols of everlasting Union. Let these bo the rallying cries of the people.

I trust that this canvass will be conducted without rancor, and that tempcrato arguments will take placo of hot word's and passionate accusations.

Above all, I venture humbly to hope that Divine Providence, to whom we owe our origin, our growth, and all our prosperity, will continue to protect our beloved country against all danger, fox*eign and domestic.

I am, with great respect, your friend. JOHN C. BRECKINRIDGE. The Hon. C. Cushing, President of the Democratic National Convention.

BRECKINRIDGE A1SD LAKE. Tho nomination of BRECKINRIDGE and Lane has awakened the greatest enthusiasm throughout the whole country.— Immense ratification meetings aro being held at various points, and tho excitement is intense. Tho gallant and chivalrous young Kentuckian, and the brave and honest old soldier of the Mexican War, are the men tho people want. Standing upon a broad national platform, recognizing the eqnality of all the States in the Union, and the equal rights of all the cititizens of our glorious confederacy, they will dash back the waves of Abolitionism and sectionalism whatever shape they may assume. The only National candidates they will easily triumph over the ne-gro-equality nominee of Chicago, and the demagogue put forth by the sectional "Rump" conclave at Baltimore.—Boone
