Uoiffflas on Clay.

Some yenrs niro Douglas was'acandidate for Congress, in the fith Congressional District of Illinois. Hon. David M. Woodson, was his opponent.— During the canvass they spoke at. Carreiton, and "in hi3 specch at that place Douglas used the following language: "Henry Clay is a black-hearted traitor, and the only Statesman who ever sold himself for British .gold."

In the broad land is there an old lino 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 Mving.

Great God, is it possiblo for old line Whigs to vote for Douglas. By the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, he should little fcn regarded as tho sacred promises of Clay. Was Clay, the idol of the old '•Whigs, a "black-hearted trrutor," or is Douglas a liar? Your votes, old Whigs is your verdict on the ease.—[N. Y. Tribune.

Lincoln and Douglas.

7 The Douglas journals are now commending him in his electioneering tour as a man who is not afraid to speak his .a opinions while they condemn Mr. Lincoln for remaining at home and pre^serving a dignified silence! Can it be that the American people are unacquainted with the principles of Mr.

Douglas, and the policy he advocates? Can it be that hp has failed to make himself understood—that- it is now nec essary for him to stump the country to inform the people as to his views of government? One of two things must be true, cither that Mr. Douglas is too stupid to make himself understood or his principles change so often that he must be always speaking in order to let them be known'.' Not so with Mr. Lincoln his principles have been clearly announced the world knows where he „v=Btands and what will be his policy and litis therefore unnecessary for him to travel the country over begging the people to make him their President.—*

It is contemptible in the extreme for Old Liners now tospeak of Mr. Lincoln as a mum candidate they know 1t to be V-tho vilest sland'cr. He was not mum ^vrhen in stern debate in Illinois.he vanquished Stephen A. Douglas^ and triofrfujnpbed over the ablest debater of the ^"Democratic party. We would not detract from-Mr. Douglas* ability but his present courso is that of the deraaf? gogue—not of the dignified statesman.

Sectionalism—Abolitionism. In the history of our country there never has been a party so intensely sectional in its character as the Old Line Democracy, nor has there been one which has done more to arouse the worst species of abolitionism. They have done more than any otliei*s to excite hostile and unfriendly feelings betwoen the different sections of our country. Previous to 1854, every Democratic meeting north of Mason and Dixon's line, resolved not only against the extension of slavery, but in favor of interfering with it where it now exists. Every Old Line orator advocated the same principle and sought to inflame the public mind against the south and her institutions. They declared themselves ready to remove the seat of Government, if slavery was not abolished in the District of Columbia. They resolved in favor of the Wilmot Proviso—against the extension of slavery They went further than any JRe publican has ever gone. Their antislavery policy, if carried out would have sundered this Government into fragments. There was nothing whole' some or conservative in either their principles or policy. They were then as intensely sectional against slavery as they are now sectional in favor of it. Need wo refer to the fact that Hon. Lew Wallace was once Editor of an abolition paper—need we refer to the Hon. J. E. McDonald pulling the Capitol on to free soil—to the letter of Graham N. Fitch, or to the various resolutions of Democratic meetings? Can such a party be safely trusted? Ever changing and always sectional—never conservative—always governedby caprice or plunder end never by principles or constitutional law. Can such a party be safely trusted? Old Line Democracy is a false and dangerous god, and the people who worship at his shrine will sooner or later full victims to a false religion.

ggT'Col. Willson once remai'ked in a speech in the Methodist Church in this place, "that the time was near at hand when he would feel himself compelled to shoulder his musket to drive back the hordes of Catholics who were now swarming to this country, would, (if not checked.) destroy the civil and religious liberty of our country." lie was also heard to say, "that if the north and south should ever come to war, on the subject of slavery, he would shoulder his musket, cross the Ohio river, and fight for the South." We leave our readers to their own reflections.

A Contemptible Misrepresentation. The speech of Mr. Godfrey, delivered in the Court House last Thursday evening, was a brilliant effort, and will tell with damaging effect in this vicinity, upon tho cause of the "Little Giant." The Douglas! tes, fully aware of their inability to refute Mr. G.'s arguments, are compelled to resort to the low subterfuge of weak and vulgar minds, vile personal abuse and misrepresentation, to destroy their effect.

In the exordium of his speech, Mr. Godfrey made some remarks showing the dissimilarity between ancient servitude and slavery in our own country at the present day, and said that a white slave, in olden time, whenever he wished to do so, and could procure the means, might purchase his freedom, and afterward become his master's equal in every respect, socially that he might even aspire to the hand of his master's daughter, with as much propriety as any other oitizen.

But what is the Democratic version of the above? Simply this: That Mr. Godfrey asserted that a southern slave has a perfect right to marry his master's daughter if ho desires to do so.— The Popular Sovereignty cause must be ih a dreadlully dilapidated condition to require such weak and transparent misrepresentations as the above to uphold it.

Negro Equality.

The Editor of the Review seems to be in a particularly bad humor since the dissolution and destruction of the Old Line party. The rupture has knocked what few ideas he had intojsz, and his mental vision is now totally obscured and bewilderedwiththethought of Negyo Equality. Acting with a par ty which is based upon the negro, which is bound together by negro influence, which is moved and governed by negro power, whose deliberations are all in relation to the negro, whose orators neither speak nor think on any otlier subject and yet his mind is haunted with the dread idea that the chattel basis of his party ma}' one day rise to an equality with himself. Will the editor of the Review inform his readers as to the influence which his southern democratic friends are exerting towards bringing about negro equality? How fares it with such men as Col. R. M. Johnson, once Vice President of the United States? How is it with the hundreds and thousands of southern Democrats whose sons and daughters are not of the pure Saxon blood, but half breeds—half white and halfblack—the genuine mulatto? Does the white man place the negro woman on an equality with himself when she becomes the mother of his children? Are not hundreds and thousands of southern Democrats with whom the editor of the Review is in close political connection, the Fathers of mulatto children, and therefore practical amalgamationists, and practical advocates of negro equality? If there is a party of white men on earth who are in favor of amalgamation and negro equality, that party is theso-callod Democratic party—both wings. The}- have been carrying their doctrines into practice for lo! these many years, and the results of their principles and practice are daily becoming more and more manifest. But one of the worst features, is that they make slaves of their own children, and the editor of the Review shouts, Amen

Know Nothing's.

There is a sort of Know Nothing lodge, which meets regularly at McClelland's Hall. Some of our citizens thinking it a Democratic meeting, entered the room, but were expelled by vote because they were not in favor of Mr. Douglas. Mr. J. E. McDonald onee exclaimed,

t!thafc

the time would soon

come, that when a Know Nothing was seen approaching any company of respectable men, they would draw back with a shudder and say "let the leper pass" Yerily, the party to which Mr. McDonald belongs has struck hands with the leper, and instead of letting him pass hugs him to their bosom.— The Douglas party seeks to unite with the Know Kothings.

The Stump Candidate advocate,

tells them in his rage, "if thc-y were in M-a-s-8-a-c-h-u-s-e-t-t-s they would have to sit by the side of little niggers at school." You ought also, to tell them Charles, dear, that if they were in South Carolina, their brothers and sisters, (many of them at least,) "might be half nigger and instead of being sent to school, they would be sent by their fathers to the slave pen—that taking the place of theschool-house in that State—and there sold to the highest/ bidder, and sent to tho Rice Swamps or

Plantations, to drag out a miser­

able existance. The advocate of the Stump Candidate seems to think Massachusetts a term of great reproach.— Don't discourage the little boys of our town, Charley, don t.

STATE RATIFICATION!

100,000 REPUBLICANS IN COUNCIL!

Indiana Wide, Awake!

We learn from Mr. RABB, editor of the Rising-Sun Visitor, who arrived in our city this morning, that the State Republican Ratification Convention, held at Indianapolis yesterday, was probably tho largest assemblage of American freemen, ever brought together, on any occasion in our State,— The crowd was variously estimated, at from Seventy-Five, to One Hundred Thousand living, moving, free Republicans. Hon. J. E. McDonald, wo understand, thinks that the number in attendance was not greater than, sixty, or sixty-five thousand. Hurrah for Republicanism in Indiana. Old Abe is on the track. Full proceedings will be given in our next. ,,

Blair at Greencastle. The Hon. FRANK P. BLAIR, of Missouri, is advertised to speak at the grand Republican Mass Meeting at Greencastle, to-morrow. Persons wishing toattend, can leave this place on tho morning train, (4 o'clock,) and return on the 5:40 train in the afternoon.

B©.The editor of tho Review is terribly wrought upon by the nomination of ALBERTS. WHITE, and is berating the Republicans for daring to make a nomination without consulting him. He swears he can prove by the Hon. Jas. Wilson that Mr. White sent down one hundred dollars and placed it in the hands of Jno. Beard, for the purpose of packing the Convention. The charge that the Convention was packed is simply ridiculous, and false. The Republicans met in Convention, nominated Albert S. White, and intend to elect him. But what business is it of the editor of the Review, in what way Mr. White was nominated? Why should his wrath be so stirred?^-rWhat right has he to make such bitter complaints? When the Republicans wish the advice of Mr. Bowen they will ask it. Manxmen have done well by attending to their own business.

©ST'The editor of the Review is around again at his old trade of smelling negroes! He is the most finished connoiseur in all the land. We would advise him to visit some of his Southern Douglas brethren he will then have the opportunity of practicing his highly cultivated alfactories to*their utmost capacity and we doubt not he will enjoy it with a perfect gusto. Charley may well be styled the great "7iiggcr smeller."

The Nigger Smeller.

Some of our Southern planters, where slaves occasionally absent themselves without leave and hide in the swamps, would do well to employ the editor of the Review to smell them out. His alfactories are fully equal to the blood hound, but his embrace less deadly, and therefore safer for the property, and more economical for the master. He can doubtless be had cheap.

South Carolina Peaches. Our highly esteemed" friend THORNTON GRIFFITH, laid upon our table a few days since, two delicious yellow (not black,) clingstone Peaches, direct from the old seceding, fire-eating, Palmetto State—the home of John C. Calhoun. ThesePeach.es wore brought to this, the land of the/ra?, by a yOung man, (whose name wo have forgotten,) a resident of South Carolina, who is now so. journing in this section for the purpose of visiting his friend Mr. Griffith and other acquaintances of the days of yore.

For tho Journal.

Tlie Wide Awaliic Organisation. Th ft last,issue of th Ileview again asserts, (but does not attempt to prove.) that the Wide Awakes are a secret organization.* The circumstance of a certain Democratic individual purchasing SLpumpIrin, rel igiousl}7 believing it to be a musk-melon,is not forgotten hence the fact of the same individual being too stupid to perceive the difference between a secret organization and one that is not secret, need not be a matter of surprise.

Judging from the many foolish and unfounded assertions the Review, contains from time to time, it is fair to presume that its editor has no very flattering opinion of t.he intelligence of his Democratic readers.

WIDE AWAKE.

Interesting Contrast. The Republican papers complain that Douglas makes -the same speech, or rather proclaims the same doctrine, every where.—Louisville Dem ocra t.

No sir! They "complain" that he makes tho same speech at every point where ho proclaims the same doctrine, but that as soon as lie changes his latitude he changes his doctrine without improving his speech. lie lacks intellectual fertility enough to find new dressings, for his doctrine as long as he keeps it, and Republicans laugh (or "complain," as the Democrat has it,) at his machine made speeches, but they don't accuse him ofthe same inflexibility of opinion, by any means. He is not orator enough to make more than one speech, but he is politician enough to advocato a dozen different opinion?. And if it don't suit his purpose to be frank, he is cautious enough to keep his opinion to himself. An illustration of both these characteristics may not be out of placc:

A SPEECH IN 1S50.

Some species of property is excluded by law in the most of the States as well as Territories, as being unwise, immoral or contrary to the principles of public policy. For instance, the banker is prohibited from emigrating to Minnesota, Oregon and "California, with his banks. The bank may be property by the laws of New York, but ceases to be when taken into a State or Territory where banking is prohibited by local law. So ardent spirits, whisky, brandy, all the intoxicating drinks are recognized as property in most of the .States, if not all of them, but no citizen, whether from the Northern or the Southern States, can take this property with him and hold, sell or use it at his pleasure in all the Territories, because it is prohibited lr the local law. NOR CAN A MAN GO THERE AND HOLD HIS SLA

YE FOR THE SAME

REASON. There are laws against the introduction, sale and use of specihc kinds of property, whether brought from the North or South, or from the foreign countries Congressional f-Mobo, 1850. part. 1. p. 1-171.

A srEEcn IN 1833.

"Slaves are regarded as property, and placed on an equal footing with other property. Hence the owner of slaves —the same as the owner of any other species of property—HAS A RIGHT TO REMOVE TO'ANY TERRITORY AND CARRY HIS PRO PERT WITH LIIM."—[Speech of Douglas in New Orleans, Dec., 1858.

The Republican who complains that Mr. Douglas proclaims the same doctrine in these two speeches must be exceedingly hard to suit in variety.— Take another illustration:

A SPEECH IN 1S5S.

IT MATTERS NOT WHAT WAY THE SUPREME COURT may hereafter decide as to the abstract question whether slavery may or may not go into a Territory under a Constitution, the people have the lawful means to introduce it or exclude it as they please, for the reason that, slavery cannot exist a day nor an hour anywhere unless it is supported by local police regulations that can only be established by the local Legislature, and if the people are opposed to slavery they will elect Representatives Who will by unfriendly legislation effectually prevent the introduction in our midst.—[Douglas Speech at Frtfeport, 185S.]

PLATFORM OF I860.

Resolved, That it is in accordance with the Cincinnati Platform, that during the existence of Territorial Governments the measure of restriction, whatever it may be, imposed by the Federal Constitution on THE POWER OF THE TERRITORIAL LEGISLATURE OVER THE SUBJECT OF THE DOMESTIC RELATIONS, as the same has been or shall hereafter be decided bv the Supreme Court of the United States, should be RESPECTED by all good citizens, and ENFORCED with promptness and fidelity by every branch of the Federal Government. [Wickliffe's resolution, adopted at Baltimore by the Douglas Convention, and specially approved by Douglas in his letter of acceptance.]

Thero is certainly variety enough here to satisfy the most fastidious. SPEECH IN 1858. "The peoplo of a territory can, by lawful means, excludo slavery from their limits prior to a formation of a State Constitution. Hence no matter what the decision, of the Supremo Court may be. stilt the right of a people to make a slave territory or a free territory is unchanged."—[Douglas' speoch at Freeport, 1858.

A VOTE IN 1854. :I

Now any Republican may easily find in the Freeport doctrine of 1858 and

the voto of 1854, a most enchanting variety of-doctrines. Try another. A SPEECH IN 1860. -Now, are you going to tell me that such people are not capable of selfgovernment, merely because they live in a Territory? ('Not we.') I hold that every political community, State and Territory alike, has, under our system of government, the right TO GOVERN ITSELF IN ALL THINGS THAT ARE LOCAL AND DOMESTIC, AND NOT FEDERAL."—Douglas at Concord. N. H., July 31st, I860.]

PA VOTE IN 1S54.

I?'It must be admitted that there is just the least possible taste of the remotest suggestion of variety in tho doctrine of that vote and that speech. Let us try another.

SPEECH IN 1849.

Douglas vs. Douglas and the Missouri Compromise. From Douglas' Speech in Springfield, 111., in I849.

The Missouri Compromise had its or igin in the hearts of all patriotic men who desired to preserve and perpetuate the blessings of our glorious Union^—an origin akin to that of the .Constitution of the United States, conceived in the same spirit of fraternal affection, and calculated to remove forever the only danger which seemed to threaten, at some distant day, to sever the social bond of Union. All the evidences of public opinion at that day seemed to indicate that this COMPROMISE HAD BECOME CANONIZED IN THE HEARTS OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ASA SACRED THING, WHICH NO RUTHLESS HAND WOULD EYER BE RECKLESS ENOUGH TO DISTURB." =7 SPEECH IN 1S60. From Douglas' Speech at Providence, Aug. 3, 18C0.

My friend over there—friend or. enemy as the case may be—wants to know something about the Missouri Compromise. [Cheers.] I have not the slightest objection to telling him all he desires to know upon that question. 1 BROUGHT IN THE BILL TO REPEAL THE MISSOURI RESTRICTION.

Just an interesting degree of variety in the "doctrines" of these two speeches may be detected we think, by one whose taste for variety has not been weakened by lavish gratification.— Now for an illustration of his power not only of varying his doctrines, but of concealing them when he chooses: A QUESTION TO JUDGE DOUGLAS UNAN­

SWERED.

A UGUSTA, Me., Aug. 18,1860 As Judge Douglas, when he was here on Thursday last, declared with strong emphasis that,-as a "National candidate for tho Presidency, he had no opinions to conceal, none but he was willing to avow in any part of the Union, a very respectable citizen of this place who was invited to a scat on the stand with him, put into his hands the following question, which he was most respectfully requested to answer in the course of his remarks. The Judge on receiv-1 ing it (it was before he rose lo speak.) read it very attentively, and. resuming his conversation with the gentleman who offered it, respectfully acquiesced in the propriety of the question, and promised to reply in the course of his speech: "Will Judge Douglas be so kind as to oblige a fellow-citizen by stating before the people here assembled hia answer to the following

QUESTION:

"Do you hold, and if elected President of the United States, would yon carry out, the doctrine that the people of a Territory, before it becomes a State have the power, under the Federal Constitution, andnotwithstanding the Dred Scott decision, to.prohibit or exclude Slavery therefrom? "In other words: .. "Do you affirm that the people of a Territory have the Constitutional right to crush the cockatrice's eggs, as soon as these are deposited in its nest by the propagandists of Slavery, or must they tolerate the incubation, and wait till the eggs become full-grown and active vipers, that can be pursued and exterminated only by tho newly created sword of State authority?"'

With this question before him, which he promised to answer, the Judge arose and addressed tho people for an hour and a half but for some cause or other—you can judge what as well as I— he not only did not answer the Question, but very carefully avoided all allusion to it!

Wesubmit to the Louisville Democrat whether there is not enough variety in the above manifestations of Mr. Douglas' views to stop all complaints on that score forever? And we submit to the people whether a more thorough demagogue ever lived than the man who has such convenient opinions.—Ind. Journal.

SENATOR DOUGLAS. NEW YORK, August 27. Judge Douglas had an enthusiastic reception at Norfolk, and spoko in the presence of 6,000 people. In the midst of his address a slip of paper was handed him, It was cut from tho Norfolk, Daily Argus, and contained two polite questions.

First question—"If Abraham L.ncoln be elected President of the United States, would the Southern States bo justified in seceding from the Union?"

Judge Douglas—To this I answer, emphatically, No! The election of a man to the Presidency by the American people, in conformity with the Constitution of the United States would not justify any attempt to dissolve this glorious Confederacy. (Applause.)

Second question—"If the Southern States secede from the Union upon the inauguration of Abraham Lincoln before he commence ah overt act against constitutional rights, will you advise or vindicate resistance by force to their secession?"

Judge Douglas—"I answer emphatieally^that it is the duty of the President of'the United States to sustain all laws passed by Congress as tho Courts expound them, and I, as in duty bound by my oath and fidelity to the Constitution, would do all in my power to aid the Government of the United States in maintaining the supremacy of the Jaws against allresistance to them, come from whatever quarter it might. In other words, I think the President of the United States should treat all attempts to break up the Union by resistance to its laws as Old Hickory treated the Nullifiers in 1832." (Applause.)

fis^-The Democrats of Wabash county, since the conversion of their organ, the Plaindealer, to Lincoln, are moving about to get up another paper: The Plaindealer thus cordially welcomes it into existence: "Success to the new paper and to Mr. Franks of Fort Wayne, who is to be original editor and proprietor. If he will call on us Ave will give him a long list of subscribers who never paid us, and suppose they will take his paper on the same terms."

From tho Richmond Palladium.

A Tribute to tlie Departed. MESSRS. HOLLOWAY & DAVIS:—Two years of our ministerial life werespeut in your beautiful and growing city.— The remembrance of those years is pleasant and delightful, though attended with an unusual amount of labor and solicitude, occasioned for the most part, in the erection of the Pearl street M. E." Church.

It was during our residence on Sixth street that our only daughter, SAHAII ALICE, was born. Her appearance in the family circle occasioned great joy in the household. Though always of a delicate constitution, her health was generally good. As she grew in years she became increasingly interesting.— iwo years ago she became a member of the church in Valparaiso, and made a satisfactory profession of religion.— But few of more mature years were more regular in the performance of Christian duty than she. Uniformly in her place in the house of God on the Sabbath to hear His word, and to enjoy the class meeting, and all the means of grace. But all our hopes (earthly) have been disappointed. Ourdear"AIlie" died October 13th, 1859, just before we left Greencastle. Only two days before the sad event, she never appeared more healthy and happy. She had gathered the seeds of many flowers, of which she was so fond, to plant in our new home—a home she was never to sec. Just forty-eight hours before sho left us, the last act of her life was to give food and water to her bird—given to her by kind friends. She immediately took her bed, from which she was to rise up no more. The best medical aid, tho kindness and attention of many friends, and tho prayers and tears of "loved ones'' could avail nothing to' shield her from the hand of the destroyer. By her own request wo laid her in sorrow and sadness besido her two little brothers at Crawfordsville.—

We miss her, O, how sadly none can tell. Her little form is seen no more among us. In vain we listen for her merry laugh and the silvery tones of her sweet voice. That little body lies in the dark and gloomy grave, but hor spirit is with God who gave it. Those dark.:eyes, so full of love and beauty, are now closed in death's silent keeping. Fond hearts mourn her loss, but O, how comforting to think of her, not as a clay cold form buried beneath the coffin lid, but as a bright and shining angel, standing before tho throne of God, her sweet voice raised in the praise of God and the Lamb forever and ever. Springs Summor has come, and the flowers she loved so much are blooming but where are the hands that used to pluck them, and carry them to her home? They are folded on her pulseless bosom beneath the cold clods, while another flower blooms bright and fair in a more sunny clime, where its beauty shall never fade away. Another link has gone from our household band. Her tiny fingers now sweep with angel's skill the "golden harp,' while her sweet voice is attuned to the melody of Heaven. Sing on my child, when our eartjjly mission is fulfilled we will moet y'ou on the bright coast beyond the dark river. "Bring flowers, pale flowers, o'er the bier to shed, A crown for the brow of tho early dead For this, through its leaves tho white roso has burst, For this, in tho woods was tho violet nursed, Though they smile in vain for what once was ours, They are love's last gifts bring ye flowers, pale flowers."
