Republican State delegations, and a bopus tail. No ono pretends that the nominations of Breckinridge and Lane, have the authority of a regular National Convention, according to the usages of the party ; but tticy have more claim to regularity than the other. This convention had a head in the President of the whole convention. It had a Democratic body in the regular delegations from all the sure Democratic States a majority of the States of the Union it had no bomis extremity, and it had a platform of manly principles of liberty, equality and fraternity, upon which every true Democrat of the whole Union can stand together. The question recurs, what shall we do? Do! Why, stand resolutely by principle, and let the storm rage on thero is sunshine beyond the clouds shun all entangling alliances of every name mid kind. The readiest, surest, speediest, most honorable way to success is to repudiate all fusions,: all factions, all patchwork, all devices, all expedients, all efforts to be upon both sides, and stand by our candidates and our creed. We shall then commence to. deserve success, and if we persevere in this stern path, of constitutional rectitude we shall preserve our selfrespect, command the respect of .all others, and our efforts will bo crowned with triumph for our party and our principles, the good influences of which will last when party managers and tricksters and -their vile sjhemers are forgotten, or remembered only to be hated and execrated. THE RATIFICATION MEETING AT JAMESTOWN. The sterling Democracy of old Jackson Township had a glorious meeting, at Jamestown last Saturday, tn mtWv tliA nominations of those natriots and states

men John C. Breckinridge and Gen. Joseph Lane. At an early hour the people came pouring in from me country, anu uy- in m it..." with some GOO or 700 Democrats enthusiastic for the nominees of the National Democracy. About this ilmo tlw T.phnnnn Brass Band arrived, and lent ad ditional life and enthusiasm to the assembled masses. A beautiful hickory pole, 105 feet high ono foot for each electoral vote cast for the national nominees lay in the street, ready for hoisting, and jn a few moments it was towering'in the air, and from it floated a broad banner, bearing the inscription, "John C. Breckinridge and General Joe Lane The Constitution and State3 Equality." Mr. Scott, of Greencastle, was then introduced to the assembled multitude, and addressed them in a r., .nninnnilil nmi'Ul .lliw wllic.1l a TirOCCSsion was formed and headed by the band, marched to the Church. Hie building was soon ciowuuu iu outflowing, and many took their stations at the windows and inVront of the door. Mr. Scott then took the stand, and for three hours held his hearers enchained with a truthful history of the Charleston and Baltimore Conventions, and a review of the position of the different political parties of the day. His speech was clear, solid and logical, and at the same time, interspersed with a fund of rich humor that kept the crowd in the best humor. The glowing picture he drew of the character of the gallant young Kentuckian and the brave old hero of Oregon created a profound impression. . . a i. ? l.io ennnnh wlilMi wn Inudlv cheered UlU tilBl' Ul la ...... throughout, the band struck up "Yankee Doodle, and the meeting broke up with three times three, tremendous cheers for John C. Breckinridge and Gld Joe Lane, the National Democratic nominees for Presidency and Vice Presidency. It was the most enthusiastic demonstration we. have attended since 1856, and indicated unmistakably that the Democracy of old Jackson are wide awake, and that they will not tolerate sectionalism or fanaticism, either under guise of latter day Republicanism or bogus Democracy. They will roll up 1 75 majority for Breck and Jou in November next. Mark that! Boone Co. Pioneer. ' EXTRACT From the Manifesto of the Committee Appointed by the Ohio Breckinridge State Convention. "Who but Stephen A. Douglas has been the archbolter of the party for the past six years ? AVho but he has sown dissensions continually in our ranks? Who but he has driven the whole party to ruin, broken down its organization, and well nigh stricken its historic name from the roll of living parties ? And for what? That he who has done nothing to deserve it, should be forced upon the Democracy who repudiate hiin and his heresies, as their chosen candidate for the highest honors. Has it come to this ? Are we so poor in worthy men, that we must sacrifice our principles to elevate him to power? What is Stephen A. Douglas compared with the great interests of the party and the country, but as chaff before the wind ? Voters of Ohio, will, you be fprced upon your knees in this idolatrous man-worship?

The House of Representatives has nothing whatever ! to do with the election of a Vice President, nor the , Senate with the election of a President. The powers of each body are distinct and entirely independent of; the other. ! If no President be chosen by the electors, the House , of Representatives may choose the President their, choice being restricted to the persons having the highest j numbers, not exceeding three on the list of those voted j for President. I If no Vice Prescient be chosen by the electors, the Senate shall choose a Vice President, from the two' Jiighest numbers on the list of those voted for for ice , President. j If the House fails to elect a President before the i 4th of March next following, then the Vice Presdent,i whether elected by the electors or the Senate, shall , act as President. The rule or manner of voting under' which the; Senate ehooses a Vice President is exactly the reverse ; of that of the House in choosing a President each being the reverse of the general principle or basis upon which the respective bodies are organized. The House, representing the people, and ordinarily voting per capita, vote for President by States, the represen tation trom eacu state having one vote, anu a major-j ity of all the States being necessary to a choice. The j Senate, representing the States in theory, at least, I and the manner of electing Senators votes for Presi-i dent per capita, each Senator bein entitled to a vote, and a majority of all the Senators being necessary to a choice.

Tho Detroit Guardian, organ of the Irish Democracy of Michigan, takes strong exceptions to the treatment of Gen. Cass by the Democratic State Convention. The Guardian thinks that the whole matter grows out of the fact that "accident has thrown on the surface of tho Democratic party men who have not learning sufficient to allow them to be gentlemen, nor that mastery over their passions that would guard against insulting those men that have cast a halo of splendor round the brow of our national sovereignty."

THE POPULAR HEART THE TRUE OPENING OF THE CAMPAIGN. The great gathering of the mercantile and industrial classes of New York at tho Breckinridge and Lane ratification meeting on Wednesday night was the. first breaking ground the first spailetnll thrown with a will by the people in the sharp, clear and defined political contest which is to elect the President and decide the policy of tho Federal Government for the next four years. Two months ago the old regime of the Democracy wasbrotiLdit to trial at Charleston by its own partisans. After a long discussion the court adjourned to Balti- . wore, and there it was formally 'Condemned, and execute, with general consent, on the night of the 23d of June. Everywhere the people rejoiced in their new freedom. The tyranny and corruption ot the whole party organization had become unbearable, and when it was dead the feeling of relief was universal. Only the professional politicians were perplexed and anxious. They saw the system by which they had so loug secured for themselves tho public- spoils broken and shattered to pieces, and in their despair some clung to the larger fragments, claiming that that was the true ark, while others endeavored to patch up the remnants and make a semblance of the old concern. New plans and programmps were also brought forward by hopeful politicians, and during the past month every ono has wondered at the apathy of the people in such a momentous crisis. But it was not apathy that' existed. The people saw the hallowness of the Bell movement, notwithstanding the hopeful faces of his political managers. They perceived the abstractions and fallacies of the Douglass scheme, notwithstanding the confident tone of his adherents. Houston's name failed to make an echo, and the tierritt Smith side movement was comprehended.. Instinctively the people felt that in none of these were the vitality and strength necessary to encounter and defeat the black danger in which Lincoln and his destructive allies and followers, threatened to involve the highest and dearest interests 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 echo from tho popular heart, and given to the whole country the key note for the national bugles, and the true plan for the opening campaign. The, contest is one of conservative resist ance to the revolutionary and destructive schemes of the Black Republican fanatics and demagogues, and it is in the central, commercial, manufacturing and mining States that the people can be rallied, and are ready to rally, upon the constitutional principles involved. New York has given the first sign. Our commercial and industrial classes have shown that in Breckinridge and Lane they have found the true representative men of the constitutional principles which form the soul of the coming contest, and that their names have awakened the only real and living enthusiasm which has shown itself in the popular revolution through which we are now passing. This feeling will find its echo among the same classes and interests in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and there the issue lies. The battle of 1856 is to be repeated, but on a grander scale, and in a more, distinct and clearly-defined form. It is not in New York, but in the central and commercial States in the Southern border, that the thickest of the fight will rage, and the battle be lost or won. These facts will soon be patent to the whole, country, aud men everywhere will begin to range themselves on the only living principles which enter into the issues of the day. On one side stands Lincoln, proclaiming the social, moral and political superiority of the North over the South, and calling upon men to enter inter an "irrepressible conflict" for the complete and entire destruction of tho Southern States. On the other hand we have Breckinridge proclaiming the equality and brotherhood of the States, the harmony of commerce and industry, the sacred and constitutional right of self-government, and urging upon the people to unite in their defence. To these the people are responding with unanimity from the South, and now with an echo and a will from New York. The battle is now begun, and it will soon rage throughout all this Union with a strength and an intensity that will proclaim how deeply rooted in tho hearts of the people are tho Union and the wise precepts of the constitution. Keio York Herald, (an independent pa- !") : THE GOOD TIME COMING. The money article in the Cincinnati Gazette of last week speculates as follows upon the good time coming: Altogether tho crop of 18C0 will be larger than in any previous year, there being an increased breadth of ground under cultivation, and the yield per acre will, in the aggregate, reach a full average. The products of the present harvest, with the surplus of last year's crops now on hand, will fill up the vacuum caused by the deficient harvests of the last three years, and this result will insure the return of moderate prices for the necessaries of life, and all the prominent interests of the country will now move steadily forward, under full sail, through a season of general and unexampled prosperity. It is not likely that anything will occur to prevent the realization of the present splendid prospects. Wheat, oats, barley and rye may be considered safe, and corn is so advanced that Jt is not in much danger from dry weather, hereafter; and its forwardness will save it from the danger of premature fall frosts. With a larger corn crop, we may of course expect a corresponding supply of that other great Western staple, hogs. Jbor the latter, leed will be abundant and cheat) ; and tho prospective prices are such as to induce farmers to take extra care of their stock. Already contracts have been made for early fall delivery at $6,30 to $6,40 per 100 lbs net. This is an extraordinary price, considering the large crops of grain, but it is not out of proportion to the present prices of provisions. , These figures, however, are not to be held out as an index for the season. The crop of hogs, from present indications, will be larger than in any previous year, and as the season will commence with pretty free supplies, prices will be more likely to fall to $5 than to be sustained at $6 or anything over that figure. The business is not in a favorable condition for packers.: The season is more apt to be disastrous than a profitable one, but in any event, farmers promise to be well paid, and this, with the abundant supply of corn, will insure to producers paying prices, and however poorly pork-buyers may fare, hoi; raisers and the general agricultural interests of i tho country will do well. POSITION OF DANIEL S. DICKENSON. DOUGLAS OR NOTHING. It was Douglas or nothing, and hence the result. The convention broken up, the party divided, and all for a candidate who cannot get a single electoral vote. The Democratic party under such rule is like the serpent in the fable, which gave up the lead for a time to the tail instead of the head to prevent its clamor, and in attempting to go tail foremest it stuck fast, and thus remained the tail refusing to give up the right to go ahead. And thus will the Democratic party remain until it sheds its tapering extremity, which insists on being honored with command. CHARGE OF A SLAVE CODE TUB DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM. For the purpose of turning attention from the weakness and absurdity of their own position, for the mad and selfish prostration of the Democratic party, to alarm the fears of tho timid, shake the knees of the weak, and minister to the morbid cravings of a lingering and dormant abolitionism, they proclaim that the national Democracy who have placed in nominstion Breckinridge and "Lane, are the advocates of a slave code for the Territories. This ideal bantling was begotten by design upon ignorance, and is supported by empty noise and' braren cbvmor. The platform asked for and insisted upon by Southern States, was just what the constitution entitles them to, as construed by the Supreme Conn, and nothing more.

THE FIRST ECHO FROM

From the Decatur (111.) Magnet. THE EARLY LIFE OF A13E LINCOLN WHAT ONE OF HIS COUSINS HAS TO SAY OF HIM HOW ABE WENT A-COURT-JNG-WIIO' SPLIT THE RAILS, AND ALL ABOUT IT. Editor of the Magnet : Dear Sir In the last week's issue of the Chronicle, I noticed a letter signed " John Hanks," which is so extraordinary in many of its features, that I feel called upon to give it a brief notice. John Hanks is my younger brother, and Abe Lincoln is my cousin. I have known both John and Abe from their earliest childhood.- Since brother John has committed himself to the Decatur politician, who is using him as a tool to speculate in certain old rails, (that I know cousin Abe never made,) I have great fears that brother John, like cousin Abe, has fallen into bail hands, that a hian by nature made for a good man, but who always needed protecting counsellors, may be, by his bad associations, entirely ruined. I have known the entire history of both brother John and cousin Abe, and all that stuff in the letter published in the Chronicle, is stuff, miserable stuff, and although poor brother John's name is signed to-- it, I know that even he yef does not know what is in ft ; much less did ho ever write it. It is tho work of men unscrupulous in tho means that they nicy use in gulling honest people. In John's leter I find a long and pathetic allusion to cousin Abe's early and hard life. That may bo poetical, but there is but little of it true. In Abe's young days, he was simply a wild harum scarum boy, and jumping and wrestling were his only accomplishments. His laziness was the cause of many mortifications to me; for as I was an older boy than either Abo' or John, I often had to do Abe's work at uncle's, when the family were all sick with the ague from eating water melons, and Abe would be rollicking around the country, neglecting them. In those early days, we all saw hard times; yet a young man who was energetic and industrious could dress himself comfortably, and have plenty of plain, good food to eat. I have often felt ashamed of cousin Abe, in seeing him, a full grown man, gadding around the country barefoot, with his toes outrageously spraddled out by tho mud ; and instead of reading his hooks, as brother John, through the Decatur politician so poetically tells us, he would bo rowdying around with a pack of wild young men. I well remember when he went courting one of Major Warnick's daughters, in this county, his boots were so miserably bad that his feet were frosted, and he had to lay up at Major Warnick's for two weeks, and have the old lady nurse and doctor his feet. I am fully persuaded that brother John is taking tho strange course that, he is now pursuing for the purpose of making a little money out of a rail specu

lation, and if I could for one moment think that the I t, . , . i . i l i i ,-i i.: i Uecatur snai'pers, in wnose nanus ne nas piuceu Himself, would not cheat him out of every cent of the money, I would not spoil the speculation by telling the facts. The facts in regard to those rails are these : The little farm that John and Abe made the rails to fence contained ten acres. About five years after this little farm was fenced, the entire fence was burned down, to my certain knowledge, for I hauled' the rails to fence it a second time. Lewis II. Ward, who now resides in this county, witnessed the fire that burned the rails, and he is willing to make affidavit of this fact. I lived within two miles and a halt ot this .Lincoln farm from the time it was first settled up to 1857, and during these earlv times our farmers were, subject to beiniz visited by devastating fires, and I know that, the fence, around the Lincoln fann was consumed at least three times. And I know that after the Lincoln fam ily had left the farm, that the fence was again burned, and that Shell. Whitely and Daniel McDaniels made the rails and re-fenced it. I think, and am almost certain, that the rails that are now beinsi worshipped all over the north as Lin coln rails, were made by poor Bill Strickland, who is now poor, blind, helpless, and in the Macon county poor house. If these philanthropic Republicans would allow me. to make them one suggestion, it would be to help poor Bill Strictland, who really did make the rails, and who is as honest as Abe or anybody else that ever mauled a rail, instead of spending their money over his rails. As to cousin Abe being the "Honest Abe politician." that is a new title for him. When he first came to Illinois, I know that ho was a strong Democrat. I always thought that he turned Whig afterwards because he had settled in a Whig district, And when I heard him in 1856, in the court house at Decatur, make a speech, in which he asserted that he would continue to "agitato- the subject of negro slvery so Ion" as was heard the crack of the lash upon the yel low girl's back, I did not feel like ho was either very honest or very patriotic, for I supposed that ho said that for the purpose of catching Abolition votes. I know that cousin Abe cared nothing about cutting the throat of the old Whig party the very moment that he supposed he could make anything by building up a new party. Ana l never supposed mat ne cared one cent as to what the principles of the new party should be, only so it was fixed that he could got office. Now, as to cousin Abe's running flafboats, that amounts to just this : Some young fellows had cut a raft to run down from Jimtown, and Abe,for the fun of the thing, went along, instead of staying at home and attending to his own work, that was needing him very much. That is the extent of his flatboating. If cousin Abe can honestly get a good office, I want to see him do so ; but these abominable lies that are being told on him by politicians who pretend to bo his friends, I repel as a family insult. In mv own homely way, l have told uie anove as it occurred, for the. benefit of my honest neighbors and acquaintances, and 1 wish you to publish it just as it is. I may trouble you again. CHAS. HANKS.From the Kusliville Jarksoiilau. Messks. Editors : Gents. You will oblige me and others by giving place in your columns to the following notice of the Breckinridge and Lane demonstration, of the 31st instant That an overwhelming portion. of the Democracy of Rush county are inflexibly hostile to the wicked and corrupt political heresy of "squatter sovereignty," of which the friends of Judge Douglas claim him to be the embodiment, is wholly undeniable. That many of these, the "old guard," who never falter, and whose devotion to principles is as unquestioned as their patriotism and their personal integrity, have no disposition to barter their principles for any imaginary phase of expediency, is equally true. They well understand that the only road to the preservation of the Democratic party rests in the maintenance of its principles. Now and then the Opposition, by veering and abandoning their shallow professions of principles, have won a temporary and disgraceful triumph a triumph-i far more disastrous tbau a thousand deicats ; dui ine Democratic party has won and worn its successful prestige never but in the united adherence to principles. ItTis ..the madness of folly for the Democracy of this country to expect any material, lasting good by wandering' from the old Democratic landmarks, and as an humble member of the party, I am at once ardent and confident in the hope and expectation that the tried Democratic column in "old Rush" will forever remain faithfid to the principles and measures of the party. The do'trines of temporizing policy, expediency, and "the least of evils," may answer the purpose of time-servers and vacillating politicians, but sound Democracy should follow ever in the pathway of principles. In" this faith we utterly deny that Judge Douglas is the nominee of the Democratic party ; and following in the wake of our principles, we should support Breckinridge and Lane as the only true exponents of Democratic principles in the field.
