The Concert given by Prof. Kemruerer and the pupiis eompuMn"; his singing r lanarn. at t'rescent City Hall, on Friday evening, was a decided sut ce.-s. The hall wn- well filled prith the parents and friends of the youthful performers and others, who were all highly deiighied wiih the entertainment. The pupils who took part in the sinking nnmbered about one hundred, several of whom exhibited a remarkable degree of proficiency ami musical talent. Among those who seemed to ncqntl tbemsjlves most creditably, we may mention the mimes of Mis3es Lulie I ogle, Kduah Brick-1-y, Mary Hughe-:. Clara Scott, Fannie Kurt., and .Masters Reuben Hart. Leslie Igk-hcart, the Uuss Hrothers. Muster.-; J lover. Durham, Odell, Ingle, ami others whose names we did not learn. Of the pieces sung, '! 11 be a Man," by Renhjra Hart, and "Billy I5oy,'' by Leslie Irleheart, were well rendered. The beautiful little ode, "Beautiful Star," was sweetly suntrby Lulie Ingle. The duet, "Paper of Pins," by Master Hart and Bdnafa Iirk-kley, was lively and piquant; and the musical farce, "Country cSchoolmaster." by Prof. Kemmerer and six pupils, was very amusing. Altogether, the exercises and the manner in which they were conducted reflected great credit upon both pupils and teacher, showing diligence in the attainment of a beautiful accomplishment, on the one haul, and efficiency as an instructor on the other. Prof. Kemmerer and his pupils give another Concert, at the same place, on to-morrow eveninr, which will be well worthy an attendance. "Negro Equality. ' The Enquirer, emulating the illustrious examples of Judge Law, Mr. Deuby, and other Democratic spouters, has commenced to howl about "negro equality," " interinnrryiug with negroes," fcc. Abraham Lincoln, in nswer to Judge Douglas's mo things ou the same subject, said that he never heard of more than one instance of whites and negroes intermarrying that he believed to be true, and that was the case of Douglas's old friend Col. Dick Johnson of Kentucky, Democratic candidate for Vice President in 1840. This being an "uwre true tale," the recital rather "got the Little Giant down." BsstfThere was a rousing Republican nieetino- at Strino-town. IVntre tnwnhin. un Saturday evening. Judge Conrad Baker and Albert I.auge, Es.,., made forcible ', speeches. The school house was full and : "running over." The Glee Clnbsang some ... . . sonus. unite a number ol persons .signeu the Club lists. Some persons went out from town, and returned before midnight well pleased. "Tbe Indianapolis Old Line Guard give the " Free-soil Douglas men " the following scientific " dig in the ribs.'' " Tulk to the Freescil Douglas men about Herscbel V. Johnson's "slave code" platform, and they look as gloomy as a " negro funeral in a snowstorm.'' flicsf To-iuorrow (the olsi) is the day et for the Breckinridge and Lane State Ratitication meeting at Indianapolis.

A a nr bled Mlsri-prentiin. Tbe following unfair and dishonest article has been " kept standing," in the En- . ... . . ;,..,, iiuirer otr.ee, and published in every is?ue ot ' 1 that paper tor over seven weeks. We took measures sooa after the first publication to

set Mr. Lincoln right in the matter, but there has been some unavoidable delay in rettiug at the true circumstances in regard to the Galena speech. We can now offer .-ome facts for cousideraiion which will show the shame!eisnes3 of our opponents, and the strait to w hich they are subjected for the want of truth to sustain their siuking cause. Here is the dish which has been set be- ; re the starving readers of the Enquirer for seven weeks, to their sore discomfort for want of better aliment, and the saving to the pockets of the proprietors ot that economic.-.! paper of (say) thirty cents per day some $12 ia all in the way of type setting. ABE LINCOLN, THK -HONEST' MAN. lu lS.rG, in a speech in Galena, Mr. Linpledged himself to abide the decision t the .Supreme Court upou the power of Congress to exclude slavery from the Territorits, and branded those who refused to recognise the decijiou as settling the question in the following emphatic langnage : " Do you say that ,uch restriction otslavery would be unconstitutional, and that some of 'he States would not submit to its en- I forcement? I grant you that an unconsti- ! tutional act is not a law; but I do not ask, and wiil not take your construction. The 1 Supreme Court is the tribunal to decide such a question, and we will submit to t'.s decision; and if you do also, there will be an end 0 the matter. Will you.? If not who are the disunionists, you or we ?" Lincoln, in his Jouesboro speech in 1858, (as published by the Tribune,) two years after the above declaration, " that he would submit," said. "The Supreme Court of the United States has decided that any congressional prohibi- i lion of slavery in the Territories is unconstitutional." I In his Springfield speech of July 17, 1858, Lincoln used the following language : " 1 never stood opposed to a decision of the Supreme Court till this." ( Meaning the lired Scott decision.) And the following is found among his I speeches delivered in the campaign of 18i8: " 1 have always hated slavery, and I al ways believed it in course of ultimate extinction. If I were in Congress, and a rote should come up on a question, tr net her sUtverf should be prohibited in a new territory, in spite, of the Dred Scott decixhm, (by the Supreme Court of the United States) 1 VVOULn VOTE THAT IT SHOULD." It has been intimated that Mr. Lincoln owes his nomination to the fact that he was the only man in the Republican party whose honesty was above suspicion. Bender, pass Abe Lincoln's " houesty," as disclosed in the above record, around among your neighbors and friends, and submit his honesty to their candid judgment. See if i bey will decide that a man who keeps tip the abolition agitation, to the dnngcr of the peace of the country, iD utter violation of his solemn pledges, can pass muster as an u honest " man.

Xow for the facts in regard to the alleged i ritory, in spite of the Dred Scott decision, I extract from Mr. Lincoln's Ualena rpeech I rtd rate that U shonld. Sir. L., in the canvass of 1850, made over j Here is no such terrible doctrine as justifil'ty speeches. Verbatim reporting of ; ties the fuss of the Enquirer.

One only of i Dred Scott was not a freeman. He yielded

these speeches was delivered at Galena lu regard to this one we have the following particulars from the pen of the only person who made any record of the speech. u Mr. Liucoln made a two hours' speech at Galena in 185C. The point3 Mr. Liucoln

made on the charge that the success of Re- ; matter printed by the Enquirer the ruutipublicanisra would result iu disunion were j latiou of Mr. Lincoln's language the garbthese : ! lmg resorted to by our neighbors is conlst. The Democrats, who make the ! elusive evidence of a weak cause on their charge, all proclaim that they will not dis- ! a poverty of substauti.il argunoIvc the Union. ; meuts, as well as an eutire recklessness of "2d. The Republicans proclaim the same ' assertion. When we take into cocsiderasentiments; and if they should succeed tion the fact that this stale compound of they would have no motive to dissolve the t falsehood this olla podrida of misrepre1'uion. ; sentation has been published over seren -In answer to the allegation, that to pro- i tcceks in the Democratic organ, we feel morhibit slavery in the Territories would be tified over the imputation that will fall on

unconstitutional, and therefore would be A resisted, and resalt in disunion, Mr. Liucoln argued that it was constitutional, and to 'irove his position, cited the action of the founders of the Republic, and the opinion of Chief Jest tec Marshall; and urged upou Lis hearers, that as the Fathers of the Re- ; public and the frame rs of the Constitution 1 had aeted in accordance with the views now !'e!J the pjiblicans, and as the SuP" 'lm 1 url Keu i opinion on . tne mutter, mpse wno wowa rorcioiy resist Pibition should be denounced a iminnistLs. mill not the ReniitiluMns. ' 1 Any phraseology used, in writing a sketch of his argument from memory, which commits Mr. Lincoln to any aud every de. cision of the Supreme Court as a politica rule of action, and which binds him to , change as the Court changes, doe3 injustice to Mr. Liucoln. He certainly is not to be i hM ivanAnaihln tar -m.-li nhnunlnn - nnH it mu.-t lie remembered that his allusion to the Supreme Court amounted simply to this Hut the opinion of Chief Justice Marshall was identical with that held by Republican;;, and he cited it as cumulative authority that the Republicans were right." Let u- now look at the garbling that is , resorted to in the fragmentary extract from Lincoln s oprmghelii speech. Wetrive the j language before and after in order to show the connection in which the language is e & used, copying from the Lincoln and Douglas Debates : Let us go a little further. You remember we once had a National Bank. Some one owed the bank a debt : he was sued aud sought to avoid payment, on the ground that the bank was unconstitutional. The I case went to the Supreme Court, and there- ) in li was ueeiueu tuat me rau& was coubh-

tutional. The whole Democratic party rei volted against that decision. General Jackson himself asserted that he, as Fresident, would not be bound to hold a Natioual , ... , .11 .1 Bank to tie constitutional, even though the j court ilaJ decided it to be so. He fell in precisely with the views of .Mr. Jefferson,

and acted upon it under his official oath, in vetoing a charter for a National Bank. The declaration that Congress does not possess this constitutional power to charter a bank, has gone into the Democratic platform, at their National Convention, and was brought forward and reaffirmed in their last Convention at Cincinnati. They have contended for that declaration, in the very teeth of the Supreme Court, for more than a quarter of a century. In fact, they have reduced the decision to an absolute nullity, That decision, 1 repeat, is repudiated in .he Cincinnati platform; and still, as if to show that effrontery cau go no farther, Judge Douglas vaunts in the very speeche? in which he denounces me for opposing the Dred Scott decision, that he stands on the Cincinnati platform. Now, I wish to know what the Judge cau charge upon me, with respect to decisions of the Supreme Court, which does not lie in all its length, breadth, and proportions at his own door ? The plain truth is simply this: Judge Douglas is for Supreme Court decisions when he likes and against them when he does not like them. He -is for the Dred Scott decision because it tends to nationalize slavery because it is part of the original combination for that object. It so happens, singularly enough, that I never stood opposed to a decision of the Su preme Court, till this. On the contrary, I have no recollection that he was ever particularly in favor of one till this. He never was in favor of any, nor opposed to any till the present one, which helps to nationalize slavery. Free men of Sangamon free men of Illinois free men everywhere judge ye between him and me, upon this issue. A close reading of the language of Mr. Lincoln shows that he was plaguing, in his homorous w ay, his irritable antagonist, and trying to show how ludicrous it was for Douglas who had always been notorious for resisting National and State Supreme Court decisions to charge with disregard of legal decisions, Lincoln who had always yielded implicit obedience to them, and had never been even accused of a disregard for decisions until that controversy arose. la regard ro mat portion 01 use r.iiquin r s j article that is bristling with such fierce tmI pbasis, let us see what Mr. Lincoln did really say. and how he said it : " I have expressed heretefore, and i now ! repeat, my opposition to tiie Dred Scott decision ; but I should Ire allowed to state the . nature of that opposition, and I ask your indulgence while 1 do so. What is fairly i implied by the term Judge Douglas has used, j " resistance to the decision ? ' I do not resist it. If I wanted to take Dred Scott froin ! his master, I would be interfering with I property, and that terrible difficulty that j Judge Douglas speaks of, of interfering ! with property, would arise. But I am doing no such thing ns that, but all that I am doing is refusing to obey' it as a political rule. If I were in Congress, and a vote j should come up on a question whether 1 slavery should be prohibited ;n a new Ttrto the decision of the Court, but refused to acknowledge the mere unauthorized dicta of a portion of the judges as law and gospel, or, as he expresses it elsewhere, as a " thus saith the Lord I" The dishonest cutting and carving of the ourcity from enlightened people. If the cause we advocate weie so impoverished that it could furnish no better matter for our paper than Douglas Democracy yields for the use of the Enquirer, we should desire to see it go down, and the sooner the better. No such a poor, pitiful iaii.se deserves to live. Thk New York Herald says a true thing u.u.1,- .u .... .ul,Un.uli The local and Congressional elections in Iowa, Indiana, Ohio and Peunsylvauia of the 8th of October will be simply decisive of the Presidential contest. As the prospect stands to-day, it is all ou one side, like the handle of a jug all in favor of Lincoln. Tuere was a Douglas meeting at bowling Green last Mondav. Strone- speeches were j made l)v three gentlemen. After the Douglas meeting was over, the Breckinridge men held a meeting, and their sneakers were very severe upon Douslas. The feel ing there, as everywhere else, between the Douglas men and the Breckinridge men, is exceedingly bitter. J.uu. Jour. Bi-afThe patriot John Adams, it is said, was designed for a shoemaker, like his father. One day Deacon Adams, his parent, gave him some uppers to cut out by a pattern that had a three cornered hole in it, by which it had hung upon a nail, and it wa3 'bund that he had followed the pattern xaclly, tnangular hole and all The Deannn nnrtn ODPinir this I Pi1 jiren tturt .In 111 con, upon seeing this, declared tuat joun wasn't fit to be a shoemaker, and put him to learning.

The fine weather and favorable traffic returns exercised a beneficial influence on the stock exchange. Consols closed on Tuesday at S3A93f. There was a good demand for money at the I Bank rates. There was nothing of importance in the proceeding of the House of Commons. The Liverpool Daily Post of tne 18ih says positively that the Government disallows, in toto, the proposed transfer of the Galway line mail contract to the Canada Company. Paris, July 17. The Bourse is flat, with little business. Rentes closed at G8f. 90c. It is stated that private orders have been given to the French press to say as little as possible about Garibaldi. The appearance of the growing crops is favorable. Every kind promises well. News of the massacre of the Christians in Syria has been received.

New York, July 27. Great excitement exists at Occaquan, Va., near Alexandria, in consequence of the Republicans raising a banner bearing the names of Lincoln and Hamlin. The citizens have tried to demolish it. The Republicans resisted, and dispatched messengers to the neighboring towns for arms and amunition. Gov. Letcher ordered Gen. Hatten to call out his troops to protect the Republicans; but the General preferred resigning his command. At lan accounts, it was expected that the Military of Alexandria would be called out. Occaquan contains 300 Republicans, and was the residence of Mr. Underwood, the ostracised Republican. Philadeli-ika, July 28. Jas. Valentine, j a negro drayman, was arrested this morning i j by Deputy Marshal Jenkins, on '.he supposition that he was Benj. Hurd, a fugitive j i slave. On the hearing- it was proved that Valentine was a native of New Jersey, and 1 had been a resident here for thirty years. ! and the case was dismissed. Valentine was f roughly handled when he was arrested, and ; has in consequence commenced legal proi ceedings against the tiftirers. There is great 1 indignation among his friends. New YORX, July 28th.- The Herald's j j Washington correspondent says the only additional news from the Occaquan trouble is I the fact that Gov. Letcher has compelled j Gen. Htttton to order out one company of militia to preserve the public peace. It is i believed however that Hutton's sympathy j is with the mob, and it is doubtful whether the troops would fire on the mob or the Republicans. Some officers of the Alexandria i Militia had left Washington with the expecI tation that their companies would be order ed to Occaquan. Clyde, Ohio, July 28tb, Last night, after midnight, the shop of William Wills & Son was entered by some burglars, and boots and shoes taken to t!ie amount of $100; also the warehouse of Mr. Crocket was broken into, and his safe broken open, and about S-10 taken.

The procession was two miles long, and it is estimated that over 20,000 people were in attendance. Speeches were made by Lieut. Gov. Hammond, W. B. Beach and others, and the utmost enthusiasm prevailed. Tonight a grand torch light procession is moving' through the streets.

Cleveland, July 28, p. m. The Cuyahoga county Breckinridge Democratic caucus was held here to-day. There was a full representation. Reuben Wood was Chairman. Eight delegates to the State Convention were chosen. Cincinnati, Ohio, July 25tli, 1860. Editors Journal: I reached this place last Wednesday, having left the Springs that morning. I shall leave for Philadelphia, via the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, by the 11 o'clock train. Politics here are. as they are over the whole country, considerably mixed. The fact is, it is rather difficult for some of the Vunterrified " to tell on which side they are. As one Breckinridge Democrat stated to me the other day, "he does not think that Denicrats are under obligations to vote foreilher of the nominees, as neither has been nominated by a Democratic Convention." The fact is, I have no doubt but many real consistent Democrats will become disgusted a-ith the fighting and bickerings of the two factions, and finally vote for Honest Abe, as the better policy. The Douglas and Breckinridge factions are really more opposed to each other than the Democratic and Republican parties. The more conservative and better portion of the Democratic party look upon Douglas as the cause of all their troubles, and would far sooner see Liucoln elected than Douglas. It is generally conceded here that this State will go for Liucoln by a very large majority. The failure of the Douglas Ratification meeting atjn lianapolis on tin 18th inst., is a true indication as to how matters are going in the Hoosier State. The Breckinridge men will have an electoral ticket, and will poll a respectable vote. Let the friends of Bell aud Everett only do their duty, and Indiana will go for Lincolnby 10,000 majority. Business here seems to be very dull a present. The general complaint is, "moneyis extremely scarce," "can't make collections" all anticipating a bright future ia the revival of business this fall, owing to the abundant crops throughout the country . After all, the country owes its real prosperity to the success of tbe.rarnicr. When his crops fail, all other business must suffer ; aud when he is prosperous, all other business is prosperous. To him, through Providence, we owe all our prosperity as individuals, as cities, as communities, aud as a nation. The hotels here seem to lie doing a very good business for the season. The health of the city is very good, and the weather continues uncomfortably hot, notwithstanding the unprecedented electricity aud thunder storms for the last fewt days. The Street Passenger Railroads are among the greatest institutions of the city. They are the real democratic institution of the country the great leveler of mankind. Carriage stock has declined at least 100 per cent, since their introduction. No one walks when the distance exceeds three or foursquares. All in these carriages are on a par, and he who has five cents will receive the same attention and accommodation as the one possessed of millions, and for five cents you can ride all the way to Brighton, which is some two miles or more. Those who purchase a package of tickets can save 25 per cent. Then think of the vast benefit they have been in the improvement of portions of the cUy. It is calculated that there have been aud are now being erected in the West End, buildings valued at 31. 000,000. The census man has been here, and makes tho population of the Queen City 184,000 in 1850, 115,000. With this count the Purkopolitans are not satisfied. They claim a population of 250,000. The City Council has passed a resolution inviting the Prince of Wales, under the name of " Lord Renfrew,'' to partake of the hospitalities of the Queen City of the West. B.
