Douglas on Clay.
Some year? ago Douglas was a eamfi-ijate for Congress, in the tjtti Congressional District of Illinois. Hon. David M. Wooifson, was Bis opponent.— ^During tbe canvass they spoke Carrelton, and in his speech at t&at place Douglas used the following lang-tinge: ''Henry Clay a bTack-heaTteif traitor, and the only Statesman who ever sold himself for British .gold."
In the broad land is there air oM line Whig with an honest soul, ready to vote for Douglas? If so you endorse what Douglas said, and slander the .dead, whom you so joyously followed when living.
-ireat
God. is it possible for old line Whigs to vote for Douglas. By the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, he should little be regarded as the sacred promises of Clay. Was Clay, the idol of the old ...Whigs, a "black-hcarted traitor," or is Douglas a tinrT Yotir votes, old Whigs is your verdict on the ,casc.—[X. Y. Tribune.
PASTE THIS IW YOUR IIATS!

"It is a part the history of the .country that under this doctrine ofnonintervention, this doctrine 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 doctrine they have CONVERTED a tract of FREE I TERRITORY into SLAVE TERRITORY more than y?ire times the size of the State of New ork. Under this doctrine, slavery has been extended from the Rio Grande to the Gulf of California, and from the fjine of the Republic of Mexico, notonly up to. 36 deg. 30 min., but up to 38 deg.—giving you a degree and a half .. more slave Territory than you ever claim...ed.' —[Douglas' Speech.

His opposfc tion to Douglas was as strong as that of Yancy. He has aIwa3Ts been of the Yancy School of politics, regarding Northern men and especially laboring men and mechanics, as unfit for genteel society, and on!}* worthy of being owned by tho rich. His unexpected nomination gave him .a very /ami!, hope of office, and such is his love of the spoils that he eagerly grasped at it. But his hopes can never be realizod. Tho stern, laboring, thinking men of the North have too much patriot blood coursing in their veins, too much philanthropy bounding in their hearts to lend their influence to the election of such a man.
8@rWhy don't you give the views of Herschel Y. on the beauties of the slave code, Charles? Hia opinions on that subject and the propriety of "capital owning its labor," woutd be good doctrine for the farmers and laboring men generally of this county, and would do you good. Try it—try anything that might by the most distant possibility galvanize a lrttle life into the defunct carcas of your sectional party.
SgyThe terrified hold a meeting at this place next Saturday week, for the purpose of placing a set of candidates for county officers on the track, to be beaten in October. For the purpose of facilitating the business of the Convention we suggest the re-adoption of the following resolution with Bowen's amendment:
Resolved, That tlie Democracy of Montgomery county have full confidence in the integrity and patriotism of that
uold
hoary headed vil-lian, traitor
and flunkeyJames Buchanan, and that his administration has been in strict accordance with the time honored usages of the Democratic party
This resolution might appear a little inconsistent, but we would suggest that inconsistency is one of tho cardinal virtues of the patent Rump Democracy, and will go down slick a3 goose grease.
"Flopped5' over Afaln. The Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, under date of July 21st, says the N. Y. Herald, having by turns supported everybody for the Presidency, is at last out for Breckinridge and Lane. HOAV the Bfcll people must feel! It has discovered at last that Douglas won't do to tie to, and in its issue of to-day says: "We believe that the people are sharper than politicians: that the former understand the true position of things, and are Willing to act upon the the question without regard to the leaders of either faction. Tho rapid spread of the Breckinridge movement in this State and the present attitude of Pennsylvania, show very plainly that a Union Conservative conciliatory spirit prevails in the great center, and that with proper efforts a great deal of strength outside the Democratic party may be gained for the Breckinridge ticket. If the L'nion, peace-loving voters will drop Douglas, Bell and Houston, neither of whom can by any possibility be elected, and turn their votes to B. and L.., they will sweep the country and demolish the Black Republicans as Samson did the Philistines. Mr. Breckinridge is the only candidate except Mr. Lincoln who is sure of an Electoral vote, and the latter, if beaten at all, can only be overthrown by the former. It is all very well to write and speak against Lincoln & his supporters, but it avails nothing unless there is a united opposition to him. Mr. Breckinridge gains strength every day. It is possible that he raay conquer Lincoln.— It is not possible, so far as wc can sec, for any other candidate to do so.— Therefore we adviso tho conservative masses of the North to unite and outvote Lincoln at the polls, combining to support the only nominations which have touched the popular heart, those of Breckinridge and Lane."
B@f°We understand that Hon. I.! A. Rice has invited Sam Wilson, Esq., to canvass the district with him, and that their appointments will be published in a few days.—Laf. Journal, 14.
We learn from Mr. Rice, that he extended an invitation to Mr. Wilson to canvass the district with him, but that nearly three weeks hiave elapsed since he wroteliim, and has as yet received no reply from him.—Attica Ledger. jf^"Whcre is the"Colonel? Has he given up tlie race, or is he out "bushwhacking?"

JLew. Wallace—Negro Equality. We are told, for were not there, that ^Lew Wallace was pa^icul ariose vermin Ilis speech at tho Coui*fc Hou^e in this place on Tuesdaj' evciuiig la|t, in,denunciation of tho Hon^Abralam LincJ Charging him eMphaffiSilly With being in favor of bringing about the social and.political equality,pf the white and black races. To prove the entire fallacy of the Captain's assertions we have only to quote afew sentences from a spcefch on that subjefct, delivered by Mr. Lincoln at Charleston, Illinois, tin this 18th day of Septeniber, 1858. F6F the proof of our extract, We refer the reader to the published "Political Debates" between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas, in the campaign of, the year above mentioned, page 136. In the opening of his speech, (having been spoken to that day on this subject,) he said:
5 1
"While I was at the hotel to-day, an elderly gentleman called upon me to know whether I was really in favor of producing a perfect equality beteen the negroes and white people. While I had not proposed to myself on this occasion to say much on that subject, yet as tho question was asked me I thought I would occupy perhaps five minutes in saying something in regard to it. I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races— that I irm wot nor
erer Save
S«ob in favor of mak
ing voters or j»ro»»ef Degrees, no» of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people and I win say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between tht White and blaok races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch fcs they Cannot so live, white- Siey do remain together there must be the position of superior and inforior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior posftion assigned to the white race.
I say
upon this
occasion I do not perceive that because the Vhite man is to have tho superior position the negro should be denied every thing. I do not understand that becausc I do not want a negrO woman for a slave I must necessarily want her for a wife. My understanding is that I can just let her alone. I am now in my fiftieth year, and I certainly never have had a black woman for either a slave or a wife. So it seems to me quite possible for us to get along without making either slaves or wives of negroes. I will add to this that I have never seen, to my knowledge, a man, woman or child who was in favor of producing a perfect equality, social and political, between negroes and white men. I recollect of but one distinguished instance that I ever heard of so frequently as to be entirely satisfied of its correctness—nnd that is the case of Judge Douglas's old friond Col. Richard M. Johnson. I will also add to the remarks I have made (for I am not going to enter at largo upon this subject,) that I have never had the least apprehension that I or my friends would marry negroes if there was no law to keep them from it but as Judge Douglas and his friends seem to be in great apprehension that they might, if there were no law to keep them from it, I give him the mostsolemn pledge that I will to the very last standby the law of thisState, which forbids the marrying of white people with negroes. I will add one further word, which is this: that I do not understand that there is any pla«e whore an alteration of the social and political relations of the negro and the white man can be made except in tho State Legislature—not in the Congress of tho United States—and as I do not really apprehend the approach of any such thing myself, and as Judge Douglas seems to be in constant horror that some such danger is rapidly approaching, I propose as tho best means to prevent it that the Judge be kept at home and placed in the State Legislature to fight the measure. I do not propose dwelling longer at this time on this subject."
Now, to those who heard this speech of Tuesday night—to you, Old Liners and Republicans, we leave this question. Who do you believe?' The published icord of the Hon. Abraham Lincoln or, the simple and bare assertions of a Crawfordsville dough-face a man who is daily engaged in the advocacy of the principles, both of squatter sovereignty and a slave-code-, whose daily business it is. to cry aloud for Stephen A. Douglas, the squatter and Herschel Y. Johnson, the fire-eating, slave-code-ite? He is for an}- thing, every thing and nothing, just as the case may demand.
fiiST-Charles calls Jesse D. Bright an "infamous traitor." Jesse is improving in the ways of Democracy and as soon as he gets to bo an "old hoary headed villian" and a "flunky", we may expect to see him announced as the true democratic candidate for President.
figg-The Breckinridge wing, or true National Democracy, continues to gain strength in this eou-nty. Between the desertions to it, aird'to- the ranks of the Republicans, there will not be*enough Rumps left to get up a decent funeral for the infinitismal Giant by fall.
Bg^Douglas is- perhaps- the least Giant now in the known world, and has the least party to' support the least principles, and the least shadow pf chance for success. On the whole he may Justly be considered very small potatos and few in a hill.
igrThe Douglas party in Illinois, give up the race. The enthusiasm for Honest Old Abe, is sweeping over the State carrying every thing before it. Set Illinois down for twenty-five thousand majority for Lincoln. ,,
B@™""The Hon. James Wilson is giving his party considerable uneasiness by the bold manner in which he, defines the doctrines of Black .Republi-canism.-'—Review. if
Charles! Cbarlfcs, didn't we tell you last Week not to attend to our business? You've got so that you don't see things as they really are. You look at Jim's speech through uneasy eyes and hear them through uneasy ears, and you think everybody feels as uneasy as you do. Let us alone. You've got enough to do if you get the few left in your party to swallow the Slave dode and White nigger doctrines of your candidate for Yice President. You have enough work for a dozen men in attending to the disagreeable di8turban ces in your own family without giving a particle of attention to us. Straighten the Rumps, Charles, and you have all von can attend to.

Mr. Rice haa delayed the announcement ofh is appointmentsfor several weeks in the nope of effecting some arrangement for a joint canvass.

"THE BREACH
[Reported for the Cincinnati Gazelle.]
I N I A N A O I S July.. 18. GREAT EFFORTS. More than extraordinary exertions have been making ever since the nomination ijof Mr. Douglas bt the Baltimore Con veil tion, by the leaders of the wing of the Democracy in Indiana, to get up a/(xrand Ratification MasS Meeting, which should eclipse any political gathering heretofore held at the State Capital. Nothing was'left undone that human foresight could suggest to accomplish this end. The friends of Mr. Douglas in every village and hamlet in the State were called upon to come up to the meeting, by means of posters, handbills, and appeals in the country press, and messengers were sent out to seo that these calls were attended to.-— Arrangements were made with the Bellefontaine, Indiana Central, India7i: apolis and Cincinnati, Madison, Jeffersonville, Terre Haute, Lafayette and the Peru Roads, to run excursion trains over their respective roads at half fare.
The Indianapolis Sentinel came out this morning with a flaming programme of the order of procession and exercises of the day. Processions were to be formed at different points near the Union Depot, and were then to march, to the Capital Park, where speaking would take place from several stands.— Along list of marshals wTere announced, and a grand time generally was expected.
THOUSANDS EXPECTED.
The day dawned most auspiciously. The rain of yesterday afternoon had laid the dust, rendering it cool and delightful, and it was generally expected that by noon, from 25,000 to 30,000 strangers would be in the city. Banners were stretched across the street from the Theater, between the Bates and Palmer Houses, and from the Sentinel Office, bearing upon them such inscriptions as "Douglas and Johnson, the people's choice "Our flag is there.— Douglas is its defender." "The Union, it must and shall be preserved," and "The regular nominees, Douglas and Johnson." The Sentinel Office was decorated with small flags, but boyond this no effort at display was made.
ATTRACTIONS FOR THE CROWD.
On Washington street, between the Capital Bank and tho Sentinel office, some four or five auctioneers were holding forth in the street, or on the sidewalks, attracting crowds around them, while one enterprizing Yankee was exhibiting a natural curiosity in the shape of a calf with six natural legs, to an admiringcrowd of boys. Across the way another individual mountod upon a dry goods box, was endeavoring to persuade passers-by that he had "the greatest show of the age," in tho shape of a lot of trained canary birds. Another person some few rods further along, was expatiating upon the virtues of his soap, and still further, another was prepared to supply families with a useful article in eYery household, a patent knife-sharpener. Whether the getters up of the grand ratification meeting had made arrangements with all these parties to help get the crowd out, we cannot say, but presume not,, or some mention would have been made of the fact in the "order of the day." M':
ESCORTING SAID CROWD.
The procession was to form at 11 o'clock and march to the Capitol Park, whei'e speaking would commence at 12 o'clock. Between 9and lOo'clock some six marshals, three men and three lads, paraded the streets on horseback, and one at a time was detailed to visit the depot and escort the excursionists as each train arrived. Two bands had been hired to precede the procession, and after escorting each arrival to the Park, they returned to the depot to da capo.
THE NUMBER OF SAID CROWD.
As we have already remarked, arrangements had been mado with the eight railroads centering here, to run Excursion trains over their respective roads.
We have been furnished by tho officers of each road with the following figures of the number of excursion and regular passengers on the Excursion srains: 'J''' Passengers.
Lafayette Road, 142 Bellefontaine, 118 Indianapolis & Cincinnati, 190 Peru, 176 Indiana Central, 201 Madison & Jeffersoville, 2 roads, 107 Terre-Haute, 170
Total,..r.,..^. ..1,101 THE DISAPPOINTMENT. The managers of the roads complain bitterly of the getters up pf this ratification, in promising them large crowds, in consequence of which the half-fare rate was made. The roads have all lost money by the arrangement.
The Indianapolis & Contral Road, as appears above, brought here 190 passengers, and the same road carried today three full cars from Shelbyville and two from Greensburg, to St. Pauls, of persons going to hear Dr. Carey speak on temperance.' One of the marshals, disgusted,with the very meagre turnout, left the ground and put up his horse, .ia
MONSIEUR TONSON COME AGAIN. One body, led by the city brass band, and numbering one hundred and fifty mens and boys each one bearing a flag with alikeness of Douglas, or carrying some banner or device, marched from the. depot to the Park, followed by one country wagon, drawn by six horses.— The "Procession," after quietly enter4 ing the Park stole back to the depot* and in an hour or so after. was^seencoming up the same street^ and again entered the Park. The object being to create the impression that this was an* other delegation, just arrived. But the
trick was too.t transparent, and it was not repeated. A G|t^NT, FAIIXItE.
ThjWprocesdon vfras, therefore, a gen-
:eral
ff|luro, a^||ve|y one admits. We belief: we do ^iexagerate when we state,Jbat |he nlimber of strangers in town from th^liidfoining counties wai fifteen hundred (1,500) all told.
WHAT MR. TDBPIE THOUGHT. Hon. Mr. Turpie, the Democratic candidate for Lieut. Governor, remarked to a friend that "the mass meeting, to-day, was the most disheartening thing he had yet met with in this campaign," and this, we know, is tho feeling With a great many DemocrMs. -f
SPEAKERS.
The speaking was announced to commence about 11 o'clock, A. M., but it was after 1, P. M. before any one appeared on tho platform. A large number of women and children were loung ing about under the shade trees, and there might have been between one thousand and two thousand persons in the Park when Gov. Willard ascended the platform. After addressing the crowd a minute or two, and without moving an organization, or calling any one to the chair, he introduced Hon, Geo. E. Pugh of Cincinnati. ....
SENATOR PUGII.
Mr. P. spoke for about an hour and a half, giving his audience a history of the Charleston and Baltimore Conventions, and was particularly severe upon the Seceders who nominated Breckinridge and Lane. He denounced Mr. Buchanan and his Administration in unmeasured terms at all of which the crowd cheered most lustily.
There was nothing new or startling in this speech, and for want of reporting facilities, it will bo lost to posterity.
OTHER SPEAKERS.
Mr. Pugh was followed by Gov. Dunham, who filled up tho time until the arrival of the Hon. Mr. Yallandingham. That gentleman soon made his appearance, and spoke for some time.
DOUGLAS VS. CASH. CLAY.
At no time were there more than four thousand or forty-five hundred persons, men and women, in the Park, and all whom we coversed with, Democrats and Republicans, freely admitted that Cash. Clay had a larger, more enthusiastic and better class of hearers on Saturday evening last than were present at the Grand Ratification gathering of to-day. J. J. II. [BY TELEGRAPH.]
SHORT SPEECHES.
Hendricks and Gov. Hammond followed Yallandingham in short speeches of no particular importance.
•A
LITTLE RESOLUTION.
Dick Ryan, ono of the ablest Douglas stump speakers, said he did not propose to speak, but had a resolution to offer. He had been out canvassing, and on his return he learned that Bright and Fitch had been laying plans for the overthrow of the Democratic party. He now desired to offer the resolution, and'if it was passed, he would stump Indiana from Lake Michigan to the O
The resolution denounced Bright and1 Fitch, and their associates, as traitors «nd disorganizers, and formally read them out ofthe party.
As there was no chairman, Ryan put the resolution, which was carried by a large majority. This caused much excitement on the platform among the old heads.
AND YET ANOTHER.
Ryan offered a second resolution— that tho first be published. HE TOCKETS IT.
This was also carried, when Ryan, seeing the trouble, put the resolution in his pocket, saying he would see that it was published, and then left the platform.
A RECONSIDERAION.
Gov. Dunham said he approved of theresolution inthe main, but he wanted it reconsidered, so that he could offer a substitute. Dunham put the motion to reconsider, and declared it carried, though it was not fair. Ryan appeared and protested against the reconsideration.
AMENDED.
After some consultation, the resolution was amended so as to strike out "and associates," and it was again amended by striking out Bright and Fitch's names, and all offensive epithets, and simply calling their opponents enemies to the Democratic party. Tho meeting then adjourned.
THE HERALD TAKES POSITION. The New York Herald has at last found a postion tbr itself. The late BRECKINRIDGE and LANE meeting at the Cooper Institute has relieved all its uncertainty. After coqueting for awhile with the BELL-EVERETT movement, and discovering its
"holloWness,"
ald comos
out
the Her
decidedly for the 'Na
tional" Democratic ticket. That journal says: The people saw the hollownessof the Bell movement, notwithstanding the hopeful feces of his political managers. They perceived the abstractions and fallacies of the Douglas scheme, notwithstanding the confident tone of his adherents. Houston's name failed to make an echo, and the GerritSmith side movement was comprehended. Instinctively the people felt that in none of these was there the vitality &strength necessary to encounter and defeat the black danger in whieh Lincoln and his destructive allies and followers threatened to involve the highest and dearest intei ests of all. And therefore not a hand was lifted, not a sign went forth, to show .how the popular heart listed. ,Yet it thrills before the common danger of a Black Republican triumph, and is ready and willing for the contest.
The Breckinridge and Lane ratification
meeting
has awakened the first
eehofrom the popular heart and given to ithe whole country the keynote for the national bugles, and the true plan for the opening campaign. JThe contest is one of conservative resistance to the revolutionary and destructive schemes ofthe Black Republican fanatics ar.d
demagogies, the central, commercial, m^ralSettiVing and mining S|4ttes.th at the people can berallied, j|ud are'r^ly to rally, upon the conititutiona^ principles involved. New ^orkviha^given tlie J&ut eign. Our |6omtnefcHU and industrial classes have shown thwi in Breckinridge and Lane they have*found the true representHtive men of the constitutional principies which form the soul of the coming,

ffegTo Equality. The'following extract from Judge Morton's speech in reply to Turpie at Bloomington, demolishes the foolish cry of "Negro Equality" as completely as anything we have seen:
But my friend [Turpie] has a good deal to say about negro equality.— That is the burden of the song upon the part of the Democratic party— negro equality—negro equality! Whp i& in favor? Is the Republican party in favor of it? If so, where is the evidence of it? We have a great deal of loose declamation-—
Col. Foster.—I will' tell you tfere the evidence of it is. Mr. Morton.-—Well, laykon.^
Col. Foster.—In Massachusetts: nine-11 ty-five white women married to as many negroes.
Mr. Morton.—My friend speaks of negroes voting in Massachusetts.— Yfhen were negroes allowed to vote there? Has it been since the Republican party has been in existence? No sir they voted in those palmy days when the Democratic party elected Governors. [Great Applause.
Col. Foster.—I am speaking ofprac tical amalgamation. Mr. Morton.—You placed it there.--My friend spoke of Ohio, too. His spoke of the State of Ohio, the negroes being allowed to vote there. I ask under what Constitution they are allowed to vote? That Constitution wasmade when the Democratic party had a majority of twenty thousand in that' State, (great applause,) and in the Convention that mado that Constittitfon there was a large democratic majority (Continued Applause.) When were negroes first allowed to vote inthe State of Maine? In the good old days when the Democratic party had an overwhelming majority. (Renewed Applause.) In point of fact, my friend cannot jjoint to a single step taken in a Free State toward enlarging tho rights of a free negro—toward negro equality—since the Republican party was called into power. My friend may take the State of New York. When were negroes first allowed to vote there? Years and years ago, before the Republican party had power. Who was in favor of it/ Martin Van Buren, the bosom friend of Jackson, the man who with his son John are ardent supporters of this Democratic Administration. [Applause.]
So far as the thing is concerned all this was done years ago. The Democratic part}* is as much responsible for them to-day as ever, and as far as the Republican party is concerned they were all done before it was called into existence [Much Applause.]
THE TERRE HAUTE DISTRICT.--WO are authorized to announce that within twenty days there will be a Breckinridge and Lane candidate for Congress in this Congressional District. No nomination which could have been made by the Convention yesterday would have been so objectionable to the friends of Breckinridge and Lane as that of Mr. Voorliees. They regard him as a renegade from the party that has made him all he is, and they receive his say the last renegade shall just reward.—T. H. Express.
From the Peoria (111.) Transcript.
Prompt ADJUSTMENT.—Editor of Daily Transcript: I feel called upon, in justice to the Peoria Marine & Fire Insurance Co., of this city, to testify to their promptness and liberality in the adjustment and payment of losses sustained by them, and also their gentlemanly bearing to ther customers.
Having purchased a brick building, on the bluff, last season, I was well advised to insure it with the above-nam-ed Company, which I did, and returned to my home in Ohio. A short time since the building was. burned, and before I had time even to visit the office, they had adjusted, the loss to my entire satisfaction, without even notice or proofs of loss from me, having thoroughly investigated the same themselves, and becoming satisfied all was right. Such promptness is indeed commendable, and worthy ot record.
