THE PLYMOUTH DEMOGRAT.

A. C. THOMPSON, ::::::::: Editor. PLYMOUTH, INDIANA: LrilURSD AY MORNING, AUGUST IG. From the Scuth. The political news from the South id most encouraging for Don-las, and it is now declared by those who are well informed, that he will receive the vote of a majority of the Southern States. Suuth as well as North, he ii gaining strength all the time. Conservative men of all parties and j from all sections of the country are seeing things as they exist, and aro throwing their influence for the representative man of the people, and for the doctrine of nun-intervention, which is the only policy that tan be carried into effect and the union of the States perpetuated. They see, that if Congress should undertake to intervene and regulate the subject or institution of slavery in the Territories pais an act and attempt to enforce it, that disTinion would be the inevitable result. Should Lincoln be elected and his policy fettled upon, and Congress undertake to prohibit slavery in the Territeries, no one, of any information, can doubt for a moment but that the Southern States would not ,ot - h - submit to what they would consider an encroach ment or deprivation of their right?. On the other

hand, should Ureckinridge be elected, and it was j from a man 0f his inown worthless do-nothing possible for hun to carry into effect the doctrine gi,iftiess habits, to accuse another of being inth.it Congress jdioidd protect slavery in the Terri- j ,ul nt. It ean only be accounted f r on the prin-toiii-s until they boeme States, then the North j cipie tli;.t " misery loves company," n -.ml knon ing would n-t submit. Southern men see this to be hirrself to be utterlv worthless he tl -ouht it the

the praeti A working of the doctrine of Congn'ss - 5on.,, i,ittn-Ci,rion, and those who would rather ,!,. rT..:..., !,.,,, La f.m.,.. .I fnim c,a. Mil til IMC 11 11 'ii mill kv Win, iv, ol honor and ripht to withdraw from it, are supporting Douglas and Johnson, as representatives of f!ii,ej, loctrino of neu-ii.tervf ntiun. Thev know that Alndition party of the North has a majority in the Hou-e of Congress and that, if they thought j they I.xreu to, they won.d at once abolish shivery in everr torm v.i tiio lerntones, wiietl.er the mbabitants of those 1 rmor.es desned ,t or not, and they now see more plainly than ever before, that j0i-iiitt.rwntion by Congress, is the doctrine, and the only one that will give equal rights to all the citizens ol the State? the same as they enjoy them in the respective States of the Union the right of rcirulr.tinf their own affairs as they may , choose, subject to the Constitution of the United States. The plain truth is, the Republican purty of the North and the Fire-eaters of the South, are hth contending for abstractions. So f.ir as die principie is concerned, it is tlie pmiic the only differ - enee in in the application of their loctrine. The North wiits Conre-- to intervene to rruhioit sla

very in the Ter.it.uie, and the South wants th publican party than for a re;ird for him, that they same body to intervene lor tiie frutcction or cstab-' were imluetd to tl.ti it. They did not want it lishmrnt f it lavery. S, far ns the cunsHfcney j pncr:iliy understood that a man of the character of the contest is concerned, thr Northern, or Re- ! Ciii:kuv ave himself, was a leader in their party, publican p:irty ceit unly have 'Le bet show, as they ! Oik- .,f the .-iloris to that article, not very long have a nnjority in the IIoue of Congress, an-1 inee, had, and exjre.-si.-.l a very correct idea of would, had they the power -ranted them, prohibit j the Kev. gentleman. Cherry had just moved to slavery roinpr into any territories belonging to the n i;0v place and was preadin himself and blowI'mted States. L'llt SO far .IS the Southern States i inrr renerallv. trviii" to inir.ii-i t!n eeo:.le of his

are concerned, their actions are, appare ntly, nothjiii: short of uichlal, to the interests of that portion of the country. We lo not wish to censure the motives of any set of men, but w? fear that

the leaders of the Southern interventionists are masked hinieh in the skin of a lion and went forth not, nil of them, actuate 1 by the best of motives as the " kir.i; of beasts," but, unfortunately, when for the perpetuity of the Union. They understand I he went to mar he iraijnl Tim excited suspithe whole affair, and know full will tint, should ! cion and the mask w:is removed when he appeared Douglas withdraw from before the American peo-' in his true character that of an Ass. This be-

ple as cindidatc for the Presidency, that Hreekin ride could not carry any of the doubtful Northen States, and by their persisting in running electoral tickets iu these Northern States, they are throwing the chances in favor of Lincoln, a man w hose administration they will n t submit to, should he and his party attempt to carry out their policy. They, know ii.g these thhigs, apparently, have not the regard for the perpetuity of the Union that tlioy should have. These thing are hi ing thoroughly discussed bej fore the people of the So ith now, and the dis cussions arc resulting in a vast number of converts to the doctrine of non-intervention by Congress with slavery in the Territories; and it is to he hoped that before it U too late, they will ,-o Fee, believe and act, that a sa fe jnjliey will be inaugurated, of which Stephen A. Douglas is the embodiment. We believe thev will. Tippecanoe Club Meeting. The following proceedings of the Tippecanoe Democratic Club were intended fr last week's issue, but were, as we stated, crowded out. The fpint and leterminatiou of the Democrats iu that ! Abolition comer U worthy of imitation by the Democrats f the entire country. The llepubli-cnii-i thercabou: think it almost too much to bear to have a regularly organized J ' mocratic Club in the place, and some with!css seaj cgtace was so unprincipled as to cut the pole, raised by the Democrats, down. We advise our Democratic friends j of t!ia' vki,lit-v to ketT a closo watch over their hen rost3. However, we are confident that the Democrats of Tippecanoe will take care of themselves. Kd. t or the Democrat. Tlic Tiipecanoctijwn Club nu t, a cording to appointment, on the evening of the 1th int, Mr. Kirk being absnt, Mr. P. P. Mfcn nnii was appointtd Secretary pro t'in. On motion, it w:is agreed that the Club should prcure a hiekry pole 200 feet long, to be raised on Saturday, the 20th day of Augut, at 11 o'clock a. m. On motion, J.Tipto was appointed foreman of a company of nine4 besides himself, to pelect a pole. The committee were : Wh. Horn, E. CoorKK, WMi IlLRtlNOTON. H. L. S.NIHF.R, J. IIkRRINOtox,I). IS.Ai.M.MBcaoir, XV. Urockkv, K. IIkrringtox, J. VYnm:. On motion, Jacon Gaovks and Euas I'ap.r were appointed a committee to procure speakers and music. On motion, tho Club adjourned till Aug. 2öth. N.II. ALLEM AN, Vrrs't. r. r. MisatLiTiic'y i r . rr LTHon. Asbury Hall, of Georgia, lias been traveling through the Nonh. He informs a Georgia paper that Prctkenridgc aird T more chance than a tick in a tar barrel." He saya that 44 any one who believes the Rrcekenridgo party na tional, have only to go North to find out their mistake." It is proper to say that Mr. Hall U not a Douglas man, consequently he cannot be prejulu el in his favor.

For the Democrat. ' Reply to G. P. Cherry. Editor Pemociut : I ask space in your paper to reply to an article that appeared in the Republican of the 2d inst., over the signature of one GP. Cherrt, who, in his own imagination, came down on me in a very pevere manner. It was just as severe as if Mattinci.t had written it himself. In the article referred to, there were some false statements made that I will allude to in as brief a manner a possible. He said tl at I sought an interview with him ; that I came to the field where

he was nt work, and tried to m ake the impression j H dm 0 mftkg an rxpianat;on. Tliis is simply untrue. I was passing by where he was in the field, when he called to me and said he w'ishfd to sneak with me. If this was :.-king him, then I sought him ; and if his f flying to mc that he wanted to speak with me, can be understood that I asked an interview with him,iKn Cherry's statement is true, if not, then the Rev. gentleman lied. I never sought an interview wi:h him at any time ; neither iid I have a private in? rview with him, only the time referred Ut, and I siiny add that I never desire another conversation v itli him unless there is a third person present, : s I have not the least faith in his honesty, nor with any other j mm that will misrepresent as he has in tbis case, 1 to my beim; so lazv and worthless, I only ; ive to sav tjat t comes wvtl a V(T; p00r grace , " 1 greatest stigma he could throw at m o say that I j wa aS trilling as every ene of hU :iciaintance i . . . ... t .v.. i - T. T..,r... ..,! 1 f TWlC Hull lO UL. i e.J CL iu.illiiai . : JIIJ M-ll ill HI j family without any help from the M hypocrite, j am tKat.il he is troubled in some way by myself or i f.imSlv for mmethin? to subsist u: on I regard it as none of his business about my private attain. A hereganh it as bein-'of po little importance what I sny aliout anybo3y or anything, I hope it will not give him any trouble if I ask him why it j was that he squirmed and writhed soon account of j the sMtements I rmde concerning his harangue? I It is rumored that he rode a horse nearly down to j obtain the signers to the statement that appeared ; ;n the Rej.uUican of the 2d. If their staieinent did him ?ny g'jod he is certainly easily satilicl. Such a statement would do me but a very littlf " poor good.' These signers only said that they did not " understand " Mr. Ciilrrv to say hat he v;is reported to have said. If they could not say that much for their " frie nd in dism?," he would loi:!tless have considered them verv un- ! obliuiiT, and, probably, fr the jmrj-Ose of Cttin rid oi 1.1 in thi-y Mgi.ed the statement but I am conviiiicd that it was more fur the good of the KeI r n - 1 - i 'i new neighborhood with the idea that he was a ;rcat man. In gpeakhig of him one day this friend and signer of his, said that Ciif.rrv reminded him of the fable about the animal with Jon;: ear that ing the opinion that one of the signers of his statement has about him, I infer that if the rest would he alike frank, that thev would concur in the faithful representation giveu of Cherry by his tiiend just alhuled to. Fir the gratification of the Iliht Reverend pentleman (?) I give below the tatemeiit of a few I of my friends w ho happened to be present at the time he committed himself. Here is the certificate that the old gentleman said he would be so happy to see : August 4th, lcr,0. We, the under.-igited, lo ci'rtify that G. P. (,'iorrv say what he was repotted t have s-aid in his i'izzletown speech of April ibe I I. ii, which Was reported in the Dnimcntt nf the I'Jdi of the same month, und that the construction is in per feet harmony widi the largmij-e attribute.) to him in the speech r-!ciT'ii to, and that we were present and heard the fame. T.J. WICKIZKK, G. II. THOMPSON, IIFA'IiY I.AKK, II1:NKY CALHOUN, DAVID SCOTT. I hope the old "Ktumpcr" will extract all the satisfaction he can out of the above certificate. I i said I could pnwluee it with the names of as good men a there were in the township attached to it, and I have done so. Y. V.. THOMPSON. Pole Raising. TvnkrCuv, August4th, 1 r GO. Mn. Eoitou : The Democrats of Tolk Township met iu number of about CO at Tyner City, on last Saturday attei noon, and raised a small, but very nice hickory, b0 feet in length, on which was run up a neat and good sizctl llag, bearing the name of S. A. Doici.as. After the pole was up the crowd assembled at M;-. Mai-ks' shop, near'at band, and after it was generally believed that Mr. Rk.kvk and others, who were expected, wou4d not be present, Mr. John C. Ci'siiwax entertained the crowd for an hour or more. Next in the order of business, a Club wasorganiz 1 by appointing a President and Secretary. ' The Club id to meet at the above named place on every s-,ond Thursday evening until the close of the campaign, commencing on Thursday evening next, August Pth. It is hoped v cry Democrat in the Township uill turn out and attend the Club, for the present exigency does certainly demand the exertion of every Democrat. There will be bpeakera engaged rgularly for each ini'tting. JOHN C. CUSHMAN, rrenl. J. T. Chat Mm, Nw'y TJliri.i.notoh, Vt. July 3' Hon.S. A. Douglas arrived at IL'iO a. m. He was greeted by a large and enthusiastic cUection of cUi?eii!, escoj tcd by the. Howard Guard, and a lArge proctss'nm of carriages aul citizens. He passed through the principal streets to the Town Hall, where Mr, Saxe intiodueed Mr. Dotigls to the nudienee, some o.OOO in number, and Mr. Douglas responded in a short speechexpn-spive of his appreciation of the kind ami honorable reception thus far piven him in his native State.

Kentucky's Response to the Nomination of Breckenridge. From the Daily Fort Wayne Sentinel. Kentucky lias responded in a voice of thunder to the action of the bolters in seeking to destroy the Democratic party and endanger the permanence of the Union. Returns from 64 counties give Combs 25. 596 majority over Iiis Breckinridge opponent, and full returns will show a majority of SÜ.UC0 ! ! The city of Lexington, Mr. Breckinridge's residence, gives 2G0 against

him ; hiä county gives 650, and Iiis congrefisional district 1.200. Never was a defeat more complete and overwhelming, and never did a politician more rapidly sink in public confidence than Mr. Breckenridge has done. From being the most popular man in th State, he has in a very few weeks readied the vtry lowest round in the political ladder, and is to all intents and purposes politically dead and buried. This election, coupled with the one in Missouri, where the Breckenridge p.arty only received 5 000 votes, shows what the true feeling of the puople of the South is. The politicians and demagogues may favor disunion, but the people are not with them; they are attached to the Union and the democratic party, and will show it in November by voting for Douglas. What becomes of the vAunt that the entire South was isafe for Breckinridge'? Present appearances indicate that scarcely a southern State is cerlain for him, while in the North it is an indisputable (act that he cannot oel a single electoral vote. The Lexington (Ky.) Observer well says : " In this reiult Mr. Breckinridge has received a rebuke which he doubtless little expected. Its lesson, if properly treasured, will be profitable. It teaches that there is no sympathy on the part of the people hero with those who, although they may not be Disunionists themselves, are found in that sort of company, -tnd they are ready to surrender even a heretofore cherished son, whose position in regard to the great question of the Union of these States is even a matter of doubt or uncertainty The Words of a Prophet. How faithful is ihs following picture of the black Republican party, as drawn by the Hon. Henry Clay, more than twenty years ago. He said: With them the rights of property are nothing; the deficiency of the powers of the general government is nothing; the ac knowledged and incontestiblo powers of the blaleK nie nothing; civil v.ir, a utss.j lulion of the Union, and tho overthrow of a Union in which are concentrated the fomltfSt hopes of the civilized world, are nothing. A single idea has taken possession of their minds, and onward they pursue it, overlooking all barriers, reckless, and regardless of all consequences. Their purpose is abolition, universal abolition, peaceably if it can, forcibly if it must. Their object is no longer concealed by the thinest veil; it is avowed and proclaimed. Utterlv destitute of constitutinal or other rightful power, living in totally distinct communities in which the subject on which they wiuld jperate resides, so far as concerns political power over that subject, as it they lived in Asia or Africa, they nevertheless promulgate to the world their 'j purpose to manumit forthwith, and with out cmpensatin, ana wunoui moral preparation, millions of negro slaves, under jurisdictions altogether separated from those under which they live." , How Conckess Elects the President and Vice-President. A coteniporary says : It may be useful just about this time to reproduce the statement which the approach of a Presidential campaign makes pp-rtune for four years. The IIouMi of Representatives has nothing whatever to do with the election of a Vic President, or the Senate with the election of a President, the powers of each body are distinct and entirely independent of each other. If no President be chosen by the electors tho House of Representatives may chooso the President, their choice b?ing restricted to th persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the lift of those who voted for Vice President. If the House fails t elect a President before the 4th of March next following, then tho Vice President whether elected by the electors or tho Sanato. shall act as President. The rule or manner under which the Senate chooses a Vice President, is exactly the reverse of that of tho House in choosing a President each being tho reverse of the general principle of basis upon which the respective bdy's are organized. The House representing the. people, and ordinarily voting per capita, vtote for the President by the States, the representation from oach State having one voto and a majority of all the States being necessary to a choice. The Senate representing tho States in theory, at least, and tho manner of electing Senators voles for PiesiJent per capita each Sonator beino; entitled to a vole, and a majority of all tho Senators being necessary to a choice. jf-fTTh Louisville Democrat says : From Georgia we have a glowing a.id eloquent account of tho upeeches of Herschel V. Johnson, and a positive pledge that that State will be for him. From Alabama wo learn in two letters that Douglas has all the enthusiasm ; that the Bell party will to a man voto for him. From Arkansas,, we. learn that Douglas is gaining every day. Half a dozen letters from Teunessee assure us of the popularity of Douglas, and th probability of his success. . , A private letter from Florida Bays that we can rest certain that there will be a Douglas electoral ticket in that State." An editor says he 'never' murdered tho truth. Another one ays he never got near enough to it.

THE GIRLS AND THE WIVES. Somebody has written the following about the girls and set it afloat : God bles the girli. Whose golden curls Blend with our evening dreams ; They haunt our lives Lik ppirit-wivca. Or as the naiads haunt the streams. They goothe our pains, They fill our brains With dreams of summer hours ; Ciod bless thp girls, fiod bless their curls, God bless our human flowers.

The wives, we think, are quite as deserving or a blessing as the girls ; therefore we submit the following: Clod bless the wives, They fill our lives With little bees and honey ; They ease life's shocks, They mend our socks, But don't they spend the money ? Of roguish girli, With sunny curls, Wc may in fancy dream ; Hut wives true wives Throughout our lives, Are everything they seem. The following sensible article was handed us by a friend, with a request for publication. It will be read with interest, and we hope may prove profitable to thoso it hits. En. Dem. From the Public Ledger. Eever Say Too Much. Saying too much has ever been a fault of frail man, and of lovely woman too. The evils resulting from this unconquerable propensity, are seen and felt from childhood to old age, from the mud hovel to the throne. Lift;, reputation, peace and fame, have often been sacrificed and blasted by sayiny too much. The tongue is an unruly member that no man can perfectly tarn1, a wild colt that shudders at the siht of a bridle. We would not enjoin silence, but caution our readers hei'er to soy too much. It is a truth worthy of notice and imitation, that Franklin, Washington, and other truly great men, wore remarkably laconic in their public speeches, keeping close to the question under debate. They sought to inform, not to dazzle the audience. They were more anxious to dispatch the business of their constituents, than to outshine each other in tlY galaxy of eloquence. The legislator, the advocate, or the preacher, who, without circumlocution or parade, comes to the subject matter at ui '.; who scizos upon tho strong points of argument; who says all that is p-per and nothing more; whose every sentence is charged with the arrows of conviction, calculatrtl to reach the heart and convince the mind; and who leaves off when h has said just enough, will exercise an inlluence, and be listened to with an attention unknown to those whose whole aim is to 6hov tliwir talents by flights of oratory, plucking flowers from the regions of fancy, instead of gathering the -more substantial fruits of sound logic and common sense. But it is not from public speakers alone that mischief arises from saying too much. In the walks of private life there are thousands whose tongues are full of deady.r'"' ',lmi"S,"rc vu fairest Mowers that bloom 1 He tongue of tue liar, the Klanuerur ana tue ba;kbiter, often set families, neighborhoods, and even churches on fire; "bein set on fire C5 of hell." The sly whispering tongue, the mysterious tongue, the guessing tongue, the inuendo tongue, the ambiguous tongue, the zealous tongue, are all, all prone to say too much. Many a pretty, well formed mouth has been disfigured by a scolding tongue. The malicious and revengeful tongue is ever charged with the poison of asps, and delights in human misery. Tho envious tongue calls to its aid all the other strange tongues. There are other tongues, innocent in their designs, that run at random. The young man whose stock of knowledge is small, who talks more than ho listens. says too much. The man who engrosses all the conversation in company, in order to show oft his learning, or that ho 13 gift-! eu in gab, say? too much. Some persons, when ihe3' are entrusted with a secret, always get some half dozen or more to aid them in keeping it, and thus they s-iy too much. Others, when

they know a fault of their neighbor, I northern Stalea ; and will certainly reiuslead of going to him for the purpose i ceive a large vote in the southern States, of effecting a reformation, proclaim it if not a maioritv : llreckenridge and Lane

upon tue house top, ana inus violate justice and charity by saying too much. In parties, in mixed compan-, and in our convivial or passionate moments, we are 7i7 prone to sa3r too much. Let us all try to lessen this evil by commencing at tho fountain head; correct the heart, and keep it purified with tho chlorine of charity and wisdom. Put the bridle upon the tongue, nubjoct it t the curb of cantion, the bit of discretion and reins of reason. Instead of applying whip and spur to this high spirited little animal, endeavor to subdue its wild propensities by a uniform course of mildness and consistency, ever remembering mot to bay too much. . 1 . 1 . 1 . 1 The people are wild for Douglas in Louisiana.. lion. Mr. Soule, Maj Herion, ex-fiov. Wickliffe, and ither leading men of that State intend taking the stump for Douglas and Johnson immediately. Tho Hons.
