Anti-Fugitivo Law States. The Slates which prohibit their officers and citizens from aiding the execution of tho Fugitive Slave Law are: .:.' . ' Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Michigan, New York, New Jersey, Vermont. . Rhode Island, "Wisconsin, States which deny the use of all public edifices in

aid of the master are : Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts. Rhode Island, Michigan, States which provide defence for the fugitive arc : Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan. ."Wisconsin . ': : " ;.; , ' - States which declare the fugitives free, if brought by their master into the State, are : Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont. State that declare him free absolutely is : New Hampshire. These Republican States deliberately nullify the Constitution. Is such a party to be entrusted with the admistration of the government? Cincinnati Enquirer, The Douglas organ of Cincinnati publishes tho above table, in order to show that the States in which the Republicans have the ascendancy, set at naught, in various ways, the intentions of the Fugitive Slave Law, and thus violate, to a greater or less extent, the letter and spirit of the Constitution. So far so good, on the part of the Enquirer; but it should not forget, in thus exposing the Republican aspects of the States named, that if it had not been mostly for their delegates in tho Charleston Convention, its favorite candidate for President would scarcely have had a corporal's guard in that body in favor of his nomination. Nearly all tho delegates from the above States, except" ing Pennsylvania and New York, voted in a compact body for the little Sucker; whilst nearly all those from Democratic Slates, which sustain the Fugitive Slave Law, in obedience to the Constitution, voted against him. The Enquirer should not be ungrateful to the Republican States even for such a small favor as giving its candidate a 'nomination, with less than a bare majority. Violence of Party Peeling Sixty Years Ago. James Buchanan is not the only President who has encountered vile abuse from disappointed and ambitious office-seekers. Washington, Adams, Jefferson, and Madison, a .d the other old Presidents, suffered just a3 much from the calumny of such' men as Douglas and Jo inson, as tho present incumbent of the White House does now. The following extract from the Richmond (Ya.) Dispatch, gives a specimen of what was said against the Father of his Country in 1800 : "In a publication now before us, issued in 1800, we find Washington charged with having ' embezzled the public money,' with being 'knowingly perjured,' being 'a hypocrite,' and with having ' sacrificed the rights of his country,' while the incumbent President was assailed for having ' completed the scene of ignominy which Washington began.' "A volume might be filled with similar specimens. Probably no man was ever the subject of more envenomed and scurrilous abuse than the Father of his Country, a fact which we can scarcely realize, when we look at the halo of glory which is now thrown around his name. As to Jefferson, he was more coaiuely vituperated than Washington, and no story was too gross or scandalous to repeat in connection with his name. The preachers of New England, the Ward Beechers of that day and generation, used to preach against ' Tom Jefferson' as vehemently as against the Devil, whose principal agent on earth he was believed to be. Since the days of witchcraft, no one has appeared on this continent who gave such trouble to the Puritan clergy as the gentleman in the red waistcoat. Party spirit was scarcely more tolerant iu the era of Madison, one of the most amiable and pacific of human beings, but who was roughly handled by those pious souls who considered it no wrong, though ministers of a religion which forbids men to speak evil of dignities, and commands them to obey magistrates, and render unto Ca;sar the things which are Ciesar's, to denounce and revile the Execu tive in a spirit or acrid intolerance and vulvar invec tives, and to stir up their congregations to disloyalty and treason." The New York Union Movement How it is Eeceived by the Breckinridge Press in that State. The N. Y. Journal of Commerce, whose Editor appears to be conversant with everything conuected with the movement of the People, separate from politicians, in favor of the mifi-Lineoln Electoral ticket, alludes as follows to the support given to it by the Breckinridge and Lane papers in that Stater " We have already given from various sources, indications of the favor witli which the great popular movement in behalf of a union of the anti-Lincoln men of New York is received. We shall continue to present such expressions of approval as we can find space for, under the extraordinary pressure upon our columns. The newspapers, so far as they have spoken, are almost unanimous in approval of the Lmon ticket. Exceptions are too trifling to make any differ ence with the people, or to hinder, in any perceptible degree, the onward progress ot the work. The Breckinridge papers are generally prompt in their approval ot the ticket. We have copied from the D ay Bool :and the Brooklyn Eagle, paragraphs to that effect, and intended to copy to-day, from the lonkers Herald, (an earnest supporter ot lireckin ridge and Lane,) an article expressing its cordial con currence, lhe paper was mislaid, but we shall publish the extract hereafier. The Yonkers paper, we have no ooubt, speaks the views ot the great mass of iJi-cck ridge men in Westchester county. In fact, our information from that and other River counties, tallies ex actly with that from the city the Union Ticket will receive the entire Democratic vote. From Long Island the news is of the same cheer ing character. The Republican Watchman, at Greenport, raised the banner ot lireekinndge and Lane, and with it the Union Jblectoral licketfor JNew Xork We publish elsewhere, extracts from its article of Sat urday last. Its endorsement of Breckinridge and Lane is no less hearty than its approval of the Union JLickct for Electors. Treason in the Bell CampOat. -Fusion Fizzling John S. Davis pi-oclainis in all his :-pecehcs that he has " taken the held against Douglas." Let every friend of Douglas, then, "take the field'' against Davis. Xcio Albany Ledger. Davis is the Bell candidate for C'ongres.-nian in the Second District The orders of General Combs, General Prentice, and the other K. N. Generals of Kentucky, don't seem to be obeyed by him. Their dictatorial speeches and circulars, which command the Bell men to vote for the Douglas State Ticket, don't seem to take with the Bell men generally in the RWer counties, as well as was confidently expected. What the Douglas Men are Doing ! The Convention which assembled at the Fair grounds near this city some months ago, and made Mijor Cravens a candidate for Congress in this District, also nominated Judge A. B. Carlton for Prosecuting Attorney for the Second Judicial District- It Judue Carlton "had Dot been fully and ably competent to fill the position, it is hardly possible that the Democrats would have selected him as their candidate. j It t now understood and agreed upon by the j

Douglas Democrats of this District, that they are to

vote (or another candidate, who embraces the Doug' las doctrines, instead of Carlton, and the tickets are to bo printed with the name of the other candidate on them; or they are to be left blank so that the name can be written thereon. We hope our Breckinridge men will look well into tins matter, tor they will naraly vote for those who are now plotting to defeat the only candidate they have before the people of this District, and who received Ins nomination Irom a convention composed chiefly of Douglas men. There is not only principle at stake, but the dastardly fraud contemplated is an insult (o the pride of any gentleman. The above is from one of our exchange papers, in the Second Judicial Circuit. "We have no doubt of its truth. We have no doubt but the Douglas moil will do the same in every county where there is a friend of Bueckinripue on the ticket. They will do so in this county, in the case of Thomas Johnson, the candidate for County Commissioner, as we have been credibly informed. Now, Breckinridge men, what will you do? Will you support those that treat your friends in this way ? Will you do it? The State Ticket, .: Editors Old Lixe Guard: I wish to say a few words to tho Breckinridge and Lane friends before the State election. You are now called upon to perform an arduous duty, which will usher into existence a crisis of very great importance to our party ; and will depend upon your action in the premises. If you assist and elect the Douglas State ticket, the Breckinridge and Lane party is annihilated. If, on tho other hand, you refuse to vote it, (and without your assistance it cannot succeed,) you establish a party strong and enduring ; and will then bring to our ranks thousands of the rampant Douglas followers they will desert their leader like rats leaving a sinking ship. Let us hear what some of the Douglas speakers say of us: S. S. Cox, a member of Congress from Ohio, says: " We will give these Breckinridge devils hell after the October election." J. II. Smith says: "They are tho greatest rascals unhung." Judge Rankin savs: "These Breckinridge and Lane men should every one have their damned throats cu!." Hank enough ! This is the language used by many of the Douglas speakers, which shows a deep and deadly hatred to wards our friends. They might,' with great propriety have added tho sentiment ot the poet "and m my bosom mustered hell its plans of dark design ! " With these facts staring us in the face, what is to be done ? what course is now loft for us to pui'sue ? Our fre qucnt and repeated, but humiliating propositions made to the Douglas party for union upon one electoral and one State ticket have been rejected and treated with marked disrespect. J. hey now even threaten vio lence, like a desperado, who finds himself cornered, and makesa show of desperate resistance. Our duty is clear, and cannot be mistaken we must meet them at the ballot-box, and give them a cordial welcome to all they can mako out of us on the 9 th of October. . I trust that every friend of Breckinridge and Lane will be at his post on the day of election ; and none be found to equivocate or falter in doing Li-i duty. Is there a man to be found that was willing to follow old General Lane through the heat of battle in Mexico, now ready to show the white feather ? Heav en forbid 1 His old soldiers are not all dead. Come then, to the polls, and give them the weight of your influence and power. "Let him who dreads the shock with timid heart, back from the honor of the day de part." I repeat, the Douglas State ticket must be defeated! Breckinridge and Lane men have the power, and it is their duty to do it. Then march up to the work in solid column like a Roman phalanx, and the day is ours. . X. Y. From Wayne County. THE NATIONAL DEMOCRACY IN THE BURNT DISTRICT AROUSED! Two Thousand Old Line Guards Out.'! Cambridge City, Oct. 2, 18G0, Messrs. Editors : Last night was a proud night for the true Democracy the followers of Breckinridge and Lane in our city. A few days ago posters were put up that our distinguished sons of Indiana, together with Mr. Ould, of AVashington City, would address the Democracy and citizens of this vicinity, at Masonic Hall, on Monday night, October 1st, The anxious hearts of true Democracy could scarcely wait until the time named above, but early in the day, and all day, did the true men of our cause steadily come ; and before sunset the streets were full and before seven o'clock the Hall was filled to its utmost, and hundreds outside unable to get in. -About seven o'clock the speakers made their appearance, when all was enthusiasm. I will here remark that it was not all the enthusiasm of Young America, but it was that of the old, gray-headed Guards of the Constitution. That old veteran, Manlove Caldwell, true to his country, and true to the principles of Deir.o racy, received our gallant speakers, in a few very appropriate remarks. He then intro luced Mr. Ould to the audience, who made a most excellent and instructive speech. I will not attempt to follow him in his argument, as I could not, if I wished ; but Mr. Ould is one of the most powerful and logical reatoners that I ever heard, and he held his audience in profound silence for about two hours, except when his eloquent remarks would j brintr rounds of applause. Then followed Hon. J. D. I Bright, whose statesmanlike appearance is second to 1 none in the United States. The speaker tried to ex cuse himself by saying that it had been agreed that his colleague, Dr. Fitch, should speak, but cries of " go on, " go on, were so numerous that he said Dy the permission of his colleague he would go on. lie; then spoke about one hour and a half. He alluded to the foul charges that had been made against him and his colleague in reference to their election as U. S. Senators; he then argued the principal topic now before the country, with great force and effect, urging j the true Democrats not to forsake principles for policy. ' When Senator Bright closed, Hon. G. N. Fitch arooe. j Any one would suppose that an audience which had j been held spell-bound for three and a half hours, would be restless, but it was far otherwise. The Doctor held them still for an hour longer, except when his eloquent and spirit-stirring remarks would call forth rounds of applause. He dissected the litde Sucker with a master's hand. The Doctor satisfied the audience that Douglasism and Know Nothingism ! had united together in bands of unholy wedlock, and had become good bed-fellows, ne closed about eleven ! llonrv. ri;rnrl natUfiprl tW tlw-v had listened to three of the ablest speeches ever de- ,. . . ... ,, 1 . . , ; hvered in eastern Indiana. The meetings at Rich-j mond and Conueroville were quite t uecessful. I say, '

idge men, hands off the State J. C. Richmond, Oct. 3, 18C0. Messrs. Editors: Last Monday was the day fixed for a Mass Meeting of the National Democracy, favor able to the election of Breckinridge and Lane, at this place. Hon. Jesse I). Bright, Hon. Graham N. Fitch and Mr. Ould were there as speakers. Mr. Bright led off in a speech of an hour and a half. Time will not allow me to give anything like a synopsis of Mr. B's speech. As some of your correspondents have noticed his speeches at other places, it is unnecessary I should. Suffice it to say, ho fully sus tained his reputation as an able, argumentative and thoroughly posted speaker. He discussed, in a candid and impartial manner, the platforms and candidates of the several parties, and showed up tho misrepretations in relation to the Breckinridge and Lane platfonn that have been put in circulation. His speech was attentively listened to by the audience, and he was frequently applauded. Mr. B. gae Douglas some hard hits. Dr. Fitch followed in a speech of an hour. He spoke, as he always does, ably and eloquently. During his speech he was frequently applauded. His speech was a telling one against Douglas. Owing to the fact that there was to be a meeting at Cambridge City the same evening, at which MessrsBright, Fitch and Ould had engaged to speak, and had to leave here on the train going west at 54-, o'clock the people here were disappointed of the pleasure of hearing Mr. Ould. They were disappointed in not having a speech from him. There were quite a number of the stand-by Democrats of this and adjoining counties present. The meeting was entirely satisfactory, in every respect, to the friends of Breckinridge and Lane. OLD LINER. From Lawrence County. Bedford, Oct. 4, 18G0. Mr. Cci.i.ey : Dear Sir I have been so busily engaged since I left Indianapolis, that I have had but little time to write. Our Court lasted nearly two weeks, and immediately at its close, I started into the campaign, and have made fifteen or twenty speeches for Breckinridge and Lane. The true Democracy of this county are wide awake, and will give a large vote for our candidates for President and Vice President. I shall visit Madison and other points after the Slate election. For the present, I am obliged to stay at home to help our friends in our local elections, and to attend to private business. After next Tuesday I will go to Indianapolis. Gen. Leslie Combs is posted to speak at Bedford next Saturday. My friends have posted me to answer him at night. His mission is to induce Bell men to vole for Douglas. I think he will have but little success in this part of the State. Yours, &c. A. B. Carlton. From Adams County. Adams County, Oct. 1, 1860. Messrs. Editors : I find the following false and malicious paragraph in the State Sentinel: " Buchanan said and it was a gracious concession " Democrats have a right to vote for whom they please." Napoleon said his soldiers might vote for whom they liked, but he who voted against him should be shot. This is what old Buck meant, for he is beheading every office-holder who dares intimate his preference for Douglas." In answer to tho above, I can inform you, that all the Postmasters in this county except Mr. McClerg, of Monroe township, are either Douglas or Lincoln men, and have been opposing the Administration for the last two or three years. So the editor of the Sentinel must either be a consummate ignoramus or a willful and malicious falsifier and, taking either horn of the dilemma, he is unfit to publish a paper to be circulated in an enlightened communitv. " . J. b. s. Progress of the Campaign. . KENTUCKY. The Louisville Cotovfr says: " From almost all parts of Kentucky we hear the very best news. Everywhere the gallant Democracy are girding on their armor and coming up to fight and to conquer. Standing fast by the God-given truths they have so often affirmed, true to the cause of the ... . i .,i ..i ii... : tOnsuuuion, iaiunui in ucicuce ui tnu principles inscribed upon their banners, and loyal to the patriotism that knows no faltering and never changes, they will never, never strike their colors to the hosts of KnowNothingism, but will fight on until a glorious victory in November crowns their labors and gives peace to the country." The Paducah Herald, which is doing noble service in the good cause, thus speaks for the Invincible First: ' " The Old First, will, in the coming Presidential race, roll up an old-fashioned Democratic majority for Breckinridge and Lane that will strike terror to the hearts of Bell ringers and squatter sovereigns." The Richmond (Ky.) Democrat says, after a thorough cinvass of the Sixth Congressional District of Kentucky, it concludes that if every portion of the State will do as well for the Democrats as the Sixth, the majority in the State for Breckinridge and Lane will be over 30,000. ALABAMA. The Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser says : " There is a mighty stampede from Douglas to Breckinridge going on in the South one that ere the election will carry all the old Democrats who have been for a moment confused by Douglas' free-soil aquatterism back into the State-rights fold. The attempt in the South.to sell them to their old enemies, now led bv John Bell a quasi free-soiler and oldtime federalist is proving a stupendous failure. Here in Alabama, the Douglas party is fast dwindling to the merest handfull of desperate political gamblers, disappointed office-seekers, and old Whigs and KnowNotlnngs, who have borrowed the name of Democracy and entered the party for the purpose of dividing that it might be conquered. The honest supporters of Douglas have become heartily disgusted by his recent exhibitions, and no wash their hands of him." VIRGINIA. Almost every one of our Democratic exclianges (and these arc many) we take up contains the names of one or more persons who have quitted the Douglas ranks, and are ready for the fight under the Breckin ridge nag. We have given the names of several at different times who have joined us, and for this issue intended to get a list of the most prominent, but they are coming so thick and fast that we can only say they arc too numerous to mention. Thus the good work goes bravely on not only in old Virginia, Dut in the entire South, and by November there will scarce be enough dissenters to give color to the idea that there is a Spirit among the Democracy. The Old Dominion will be all right. The Fauquier Mass Meeting. On Saturday last, the second day of the Democratic Mass Meeting, t ' arrenton, the assembly was addressed in excelIf-" nd appropriate PW 7 Messr Enge, of Newlorkcitv. and L.Q. Washington and Montague, at present of Washington City, in the morning, and Hon. W. W. Payne, of Fauquier, T. T. Hill, Esq.,

of Alexandria, and Gov. Smith, in the afternoon. It

is too near the hour of going to press lor us to say more than that the Democracy of Fauquier are in the highest spirits, mora than ever confirmed in tho faith, and are almost a perfect unit ia a conviction of tho importance and duty of consolidating the Democratic strength in order to cast tho vote of Virginia for Breckinridge and Lane, and against Bell. They will give a good account of themselves in November next for which we say, in advance, hurrah for the Democracy of Fauquier. No Douglas Men. In appointing Commissioners for the coming Presidential election, in Craig county, the Governor had to write there to find out who were favorable to Donglas, and not a solitary man could be found, and he appointed two Breckinridge and one Bell man as Commissioners. IIurrah forCraig U-Virtinia Si. Popular Sovereignty a Humbug, as Shown by the Course Pursued by Senator Douglas on the Nebraska Bill. By a careful examination of the record, it will be found that Senator Douglas and his" friends never intended to givo the people of the Territories the right to govern themselves, especially as it related to the subject of slavery. While the Nebraska bi'l was pending, Senator Douglas presented the following amendment, which was adopted : " Which being inconsistent with the principle of non-intervention by Congress with slavery in the Territories, as recognized by the legislation of 1850, (commonly called the compromise measure,) is hereby declared inoperative and void, it being the true intent and meaning of this act, not to legislate slavery into any Territory or State, nor to exclude it therefrom ; but to leave the people thereof perfectly free to form and regulate their domestic institutions in their own wav, subject to the Constitution of the United Stales."':;. This being adopted as a substitute, Senator Chase, of Ohio, submitted the following additional paragraph as an amendment : " Under which the people of the Territory, tliiough their appropriate representatives, may, if they see fit, prohibit the existence of slavery therein." In discussing that amendment, Mr. Chase made the following remarks in regard to the amendment pre sented by JJouglas: "I object to the amendment which has just been adopted, that it will have opposite interpretations in different sections ot the country. In one section it will be construed as leaving the whole subject of slavery completely at the disposition of the people of the Territories; and in another section as so binding up the people, by its reference to the limitations of the Constitution, that they can in no case, and by no means, however disposed to do so, protect themselves against the introduction of slavery." The amendments given above, and the remarks of Mr. Chase will be found in the Congressional Globe, volume 28, part 1st, page 421. After much discussion, the amendment offered by Mr. Chase was rejected by the following vote: Yeas Messrs. Chase, Dodge, of Wisconsin, Fessenden, Fitch, Foote, HAMLIN, Seward, Sumner, Smith, and Wade. 10. Nays. Messrs. Adams, Atchison, Badger, BELL, Benjamin, Brodhead, Brown, Butler, Clay, Clayton, Dawson, Dixon, Dodge, of Iowa, DOUGLAS, Ev ans, Fitzpatrick, ' (twin.

Congressional Globe, volume 28, part 1st. page 520. So the amendment was rejected, for which, it will be observed, Hamlin, the Republican candidate for the Vice Presidency, voted, and against which Douglas voted, and Bell, the Know-Nothing candidate for the Presidency, voted. Every Republican member then in the Senate voted to give tho people of the Territories, plainly and explicitly, the right to prohibit slavery, and every Democrat, except one, including Douglas himself, voted against the amendment giving the people of the Territories the right to exclude slavery. This bill, presented by Douglas himself, contained a provision prohibiting the people, of the Territories from electing their Governor, Judges, and Secretary of Stale, and providing for the appointment of these important officer by the President of the United States. During the progress of this bill, Douglas offered the following amendment: " Every bill which shall have parsed the Council and House of Representatives of the said Territoryi shall, before it becomes a law, be presented to the Governor of the Territory. If he approve, he shall sign it; but if not, he shall return it with his objections, to the House in which it shall have originated; who shall enter it at large upon their journal, and pro- : ceed to reconsider it. If, after such reconsideration, two-thirds of that House shall agree to pass the bill, it shall be sent together with the objections, to the other House by which it shall likewise be reconsidered ; and, if approved by two-thirds of that House, it shall become a law; but in all such cases, the votes of both Houses shall be determined by yeas and nays, and the names of the persons voting for and against the bill, shall be entered on the journals of each House respectively. If any bill shall not be returned by the Governor within three days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the same shall be a law in like manner as if he had signed it; unless the Assembly, by adjournment, prevent its return, in which case it shall not be a law." C'oi. Globe, vol. 28, part 1st, page 520. Douglas having first secured the appointment of the Governor, by the President of the United States, now ! clothes him with the veto power, by which he can nul- ; lify the acts of the Legislature unless overruled by a ! two-thirds majority. i To the above as a substitute, Senator Chase moved ! the following section as an amendment: Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, that as soon as may be after the passage of this act, there shall be appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, three Commissioners, resident in said Territory, when a majority of them shall proceed to divide tlie said Territory into suitable election precincts, and shall appoint places for holding elections there, and by proclamation published in two or more newspapers circulating in said Territoiy, and by such other means as they may deem moot effectual for the purpose, shall, during tour weeks preceding the first Monday of September, 1854, notiiy the people of j said Territory of such division and appointment, and j that there will be held, on the second Tuesday of Oc- I tober, 1854, an election for Governor, Secretary, I Judges, Membei's of the Council, Members of the j House of Representatives, and delegates to Congress : hp . i M 1 i . , , , . - . . - 1 I ters of said Territory, in pursuance ot said proclaination, are hereby authorized to assemble at th ir re- l spective places of election, within their several elec tion precincts, and appoint one person to act as Judge, ; and another person to act as Clerk of the Election, ; and then to vote by ballot for one person to be Gov- j ernor, one person to lie Secretary, three persons tobe : Judges, thirteen persons to be members ot the Coun- ; cil, twenty-six persons to be members of the House of Representatives ; and one erson to be Dele- ( gate in Congress of said Territory; and the Judges ; and Clerks of election in the several precincts shall ' forthwith make out and transmit to the Commissioners aforesaid a correct statement of the names and mini- I ber of electors, and the votes cast for each candidate ! for the several offices aforesaid, and the said Commissioners, or a majority of them, shall, within ten clays j alter the first Monday of December, 1854, issue their i proclamations announcing the result of said election, t and shall notify the several persons having respect-! ively the highest number of votes for the several offices j aforesaid, of their election to fill the same, and shall j also, in said proclamation, designate a place for the j temporary seat of government of said Territory, and I a time not later than the first day of May, 1855, for ! the assembling of the Legislature thereof'; and the i Governor so elected shall hold his office for two years '. from the first Mondav of December, 1854, and'shall ! reside therein ; shall be Commander-in-Chief ot' the militia thereof ; may grant pardons and respite for offenses againt the laws of said Territory, and icprieves for offense against the laws of the United States, until the dci.ion of the President in respft i

thereof can be mado known; shall commission all officers who shall be appointed to office under the laws of said Territory, and shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed therein." Congressional Globe, vol. 28, part 1st, page 520. The question being taken, this amendment, so essential to anything like sovereign rights, was defeated by the following vote, every Republican member voting in the affirmative, and every Democratic member voting in the negative : Yeas Messrs. Chase, Fessenden, Foot, Hamlin, Norris, Seward, Shields, Smith, Sumner, Wade 10. Nays Messrs.
