LATBB HEWS. The gentleman tells yon he can tell you where to fisd my doctrine, and tl.en he refers to the Buffalo Platform and says you can find my doctrine in It I can find it in another platform. I Lave it here, laid down by the Democratic Convention of the Stale of Indiana, at the city of Indianapolis and there unanimously adopted. Tf cat did that platform declare! Jirtolved, That the institution of slavery ought tot to be Mlredaced into any territory where it does now eiist. That is good Republican doctrine to-day Thai is good Republican doctrine no. Hut it go on to say farther: Jtfoloed, That inasmuch as New Mexico and Vif.rui4 are, in fact and in law, free Territories h is tJie duty of Congress to prevent the intro tij'.-t'ou of slavery within their limits. Here is where I can fiud the Republican doe tr.w iu ail it puiity; in all its fullness. I do x.:t, Iiave to no back to the Buffalo platform. A'' this u no new doctrine with the Democa'.lts arty.

H'c!l, pectlemen, about this charge of Abolitioi.iain. It has, I think, been about worn out; i i u.l c!d, stale, dry; its has had its day. It ina sti'l have power, boweter, to deceive a few; but I tbiuk they will be very few. It has been cl&Tvf d that I am an Abolitionist fur standing cu '..'.ia ground. I suspect my friend here was tie a few years ago, and that every Democrat - vw ne. Washington, too, must have been an Abolitionist; JtOcraon was one, as was aUo i '.nS,oD, and tlis n.aa Douglas was one until but it few years ago. Why, gentlemen, I don't speak here to-day to convince Democratic politicans. I don't expect

T3 be able to do that. They remind me of a lawyer I once heard of A judge had given a derision in a case in which he was interested and he did not like the decision, so he got op and read an opposing page from Blackstone, and then he said he did not do it to change the opinion of the court, but ODly to show what an old fool lilackstone was. (Great laughter.) I only refer to these thiogs to show what old fools our fathers were. f.Vfnch applause atd laughter.) To show what blockheads these men were all their lives until about four years ago; to show thai the "Little Giant" wasa very little giant until about the 1st of February, 1854. About that tiuieyou know he experienced a great change of heart; the scales fell from his eyes and he saw the truth face to face. Old Buck, you know, was not converted until about two years afterward. (Much applause ) A Voice. lie baukslided awful quick, too. Mr. Morton. This charge of Abolitionsm is still made, however. It reminds mo of an anecdote I once heard. A man said that he was trurtliiigtbroagb the State of Yirginia,when be came where a political meeting was being held in the woods, and a debate was progressing between two candidates for Congress. One of the candidates wasa young roan, and the other was getting well on in years, and the yoang man was churning most vociferously that bis competitor had'.nco been a Federnlist,and inconseqnenoe was unrjuuliiiedi o rep.-eseot the people of the district iu Ooujress. When the old man's turn came, he said he could not see much sense in the thing. The Federal party bad passed away, and he could not see why his friend brought it up again; it reminded him a good deal of a circumstance that huppmcd in his neighborhood. There was a farmer who had in his field a rock which had long been at: eyesore to him. Well, being about to leave homo for a day or two, he called bis man to him, ami said he: "Tom. while I am gone I want yon t i go to town and get a couple of kegs of p w!er, ar,d blast that rock and haul it away." Well, v'ieo he came back he went into his field to sea what hid bi-en done, and there was the rock, i.h here and there a few holes and some marks of ruDpowder. He called out in great anger: 4 Tom. dida't I tell you to blast that rock and ian' it ewayt" To which darkie replied, uMs.ia, I'll tell you what it is. You blast that 'ere rock vith that 'ere powder, Iu my 'pinion that pow tr ha teen shot once before." (Great laughter.) So of this charge of Abolitionism. It has been shot several times before. My fraud sometimes refers to the good deeds iotie by he Democracy. The Democrats have 'ore Kor.c good things ia their day, but that was whru i hey stood upon good grouud, and a reftjriij? to past deeds only makes the darkoess of 'l.rli present deeds more palpable. In paint of fsct, 1 Ji not see that auy man or party could lj thoroughly imbued with Republican princi yVs, without doing a good many gioJ thiogs. t?o it was with the Democratic party. THE CANDIDATES. A '" words as to the candidate we have rc'.!.ir..ted. We d not know who the candidate or bt Jidates will be at Baltimore. " Konest OU Abe" Abraham Lincoln has bpi: brought forward and placed before the peof io of the country, and we invite their suffrages for hurt. He is capable; he is no Abolitionist; be oaoupits no new ground; he stands where all parties stood a few years ago, and where he has ttood all the days of his life, so far as Slavery is couctfrooJ. Some gentlemen say they think that he is not fit for President because he onse split rails Well, gentlemen, we think him eminently qualified. U has not had the advantage of an duration within the walls of university; his evocation was acquired by the light of a fire io a log cabin, during the long winter nights. It was io such a place that he laid the sure foundation of his statesmanship, and by long life of i atewrity he baa arrived ait his present position, and be has now obtained a obriptet of which I won) J be more proud than of the thirteen titles of the Prioee of Wales, who is shortly to come to the shores of America. I hare heard of no man, not even of a Democrat, that has called ia question the integrity of Abraham Lincoln, f Very general applaase.) and if there is a thing that wo want, it is an honest President. The present Administration is reeking with cor rupiioo; it is like a reservoir of all the sewers of a great city. This Oovode Committee, like a great ploughshare, has been rooting up to a sickened people such nests of vice and ripen a the world never saw before; so that in point of fact, whenever the Administration is mentioned every honest man almost involuntarily clape hie hand t his poeket to see if hie wallet to there. (Much laughter and lond applause.) Bat we have an Administration aad a Douglas party. I would like to knew on which side my frkud stands? Does he endorse this Administration? I would like to hare his answer, and I doubt not I shall hate his answer ia due seer aominete D0B.Lm BOW engaged in an efoaa fniid. The Cleveland Herald euan

np the case thus: The PoagU- Wefi!tes admitted at Baltimore from bJ?r appointed. In Oeons1 L , . L sec for Baltimore, and thereupon J?!

In Alabama the same was the case, where the seceders were re-appointed, bat one John Forsyth and a few others made np e Douglas delegation. So oar readers can see by what fraads Douglas even succeeded in getting the majority of the Convention at Baltimore. There were riinely-fonr who directly seceded at Baltimore, and there were others who remained in the Convention but were not of the Contention, and yet Mr. Douglas got just the vote he had at Charleston, with Alabama and Louisiana added; less than two-thirds of the full Convention being present. The nomination, therefore, of Douglas, was a. fraud opon Democratic usage, and as such must be treated as the irregular nomination.

Wlllurrf Swamp Lunds. do with ft thaa the "mn in the moon." Gov. Willard has recently made a labored j He claimed that the Democratic party was speech in defence of the many charges msde j j wox of Homestead law, and that the against him for the manner ia which he has ' Republicans were opposed to it Mr. Henconducted tho affaire of the State. This j di tcks must have counted much on tLe gulspeech has been pubHshed by several of the . Ability of his hearers, or he would not Democratic papers and commended as a tri- j naTe made e eh an assertion in the face of umphant rindicatioei of the course of the the Republican rote in the late House of

Governor, hence we shall from time to time make it a text upon which to comment j giving truth in cxplantttion of its sophistry facts for its unfairness. We make the following extract from the speech, it being all that is said in regard to j the swamp land swindle;

uo.. nane cnarges me wun a conspiracy , position and far exceeded them in making a to make money out of swamp lands. At i i-w ji ! no time have t ever bought a, acre, either hght. and lue enthus.asm whtch such directly or indirectly, since I have been your , things inspire in the heart of young AmerGovernor. This he knew and believed when ; ica.

he made the charge. And now what aire wer has he got to muke to all his conduct. Does he say that he is ignorant of tLe pub lie record of the country? Will he come to you and say "I ask your rotes to be the ) Chief Magistrate of Indiana when I have thus misstated the fct?" If so, your an swer should be to him. "Ion have no right to claim a suffrage from us when you traverse the State and ask for yourself as an excuse for your slander, nothing but ignorance." It will be recollected that the general government granted to the State of Indiana all the swamp and overflowed lands in this St.ite. belonging to the government, upon condition that these lands should be drained and rendered fit for cultivation. The extent of this grant whs near 1,350,000 acres The government coatiuaed to sell tliese lands for a short time, and when called upon by Gov. Willard, paid orer to him $ IS, 529, all which he paiJ into the Treasury except $1,000. By what right he retained that money, and as we understand sti!l retains it, we do not pretend to know, and had he explained by what authority he keeps that money perhaps the people of the State would be better satisfied. The Report of the Auditor of State also exhibits the fact that Gov. Willard has received nearly 82.000 lor fees in discharge of bis duties to this land fund. And perhaps the 'combinatioa which Col. Lane referred to may be found in this. Let as see: according to oar memory, Auditor Dana instructed the County Treasurers to issue to every purchaser of these lands, a certificate for erery forty acres so purchased, instead of a certificate for the entire amount so purchased by one individual. These lands were generally purchased in large tracts, and the operatioa is this; In case one person purchased a section, 6-tis acres, he received 16 certificates and as many patents, when one patent for an entire section or more would hare beea entirely sufficient. The Governor received a fee of 16 J on each patent issued the Auditor 50 cents on each parent, and the Secretary of State SO cents and sometimes 91. Thus the fees ander this operation on eack section of laid -was about 320, when it should bare been but a little more than 81. coder a fair and honest eharge. These fees are, as we understand, charged to the State or fund, and not the purchaser. Thus ike Governor, Audit j a t c. ... i9 a steal from the State not less than $10,000, of which bis Excellency we suppose has received bis full share. We use the word Heal, however, in th above sentence, as understood by those who hang opon the general and state governments for support. The subject of these fraads was referred to a committee of the Legislature, for inves tigation. That comnuttee made a report,

not as full and explicit as it should bare been, but perhaps as much so as time permitted. The legislators authorized a large Bomber of that report to be printed, but we Lave nerer been ab!e to lay our bands upon a copy of iu When we can get an official copy we will publish it. Douglas Salification. The political friends of Mr. Douglas held a ratification meotiog in this city on Saturday evening last; which, as chroniclers of

passing erents, we mast notiee, more as a ; mere statement of fact, than from any peculiar interest connected therewith. For the previous week the fuglemen of the party were busy making the necessary, arrangements, and from the activity and energy they exhibited the large bills and the immense number of them printed, would have induced the belief that an immense concourse was expected to be present. Distinguished speakers from other counties and other States were announced to be in attendance. The time of the meeting arrived, but the people, the speakers, and the expected enthusiasm, did not come. About the time for assembling the meeting, the clouds thickened up and sent forth most refreshing showers. The crowd was forced to leave the street and find shelter in Starr Hall. The first speaker was a Mr. Flagg of Cincinnati, whose 'speech had the effect to make every sensible man hold his head down in dUgu6t. We were not present, but are informed that the speech was destitute of sense and reason. But we presume the speaker could not help that, and ought not to be held responsible for talents when nose had been given him by nature or education. He subsequently made a speech on the corner to a crowd of .boys. Ilia highest eloquence found its climax in the following: If the people of the territories want slavery let them have it if they want whiskey let them have it if tbey want to chaw tobacco let them cair." Mr. Hendricks, the candidate for Governor made a speech, which was doubtless satisfactory to bis? political friends. It is spoken of as just 'such a speech as he would not have made, had he expected a Republican to hare followed him. It was an ingenious argument, based upon false premises. We are told that he -charged the extraragance of the present administration upon the Republican early, who had no more to Representatives, a few weeks since, which was unanimous in its favor, and the veto of President Buchanan only a few days since. But we did not hear his speech and therefore shall not attempt a review of it. As soon as the Democracy had lighted their bonfire, the Lincoln boys started in opThe meeting was a failure, which however may be attributed, somewhat to the rain, but the greater reason may be found in the fact that democratic timber is scarce in this city, and what there is here is wind-shaken and split up by dissensions. The glory of the Democratic party has departed, and it feels its impotency in its disserered and broken fragments. anaay .a nna Ritification. Meeting in JS'ew York. Hon. Ben. Wade was invited to attend the Republican ratification meeting in the City of New York, but being unable to attend, wrote the following characteristic letter, declining: "As an extra session of the Seuato will be called immediately after the adjournmeut.of Congress, it will not be possible to comply with your request to mset our friends in your city oo the 27th. And I regret it the less because I am persuaded that ITonctt Old Abe is to be our next President, and neither the powers of Locofocoism nor the gates of hell, nor both combined, can prevail against Lim." A letter was also received from Mr. Seward, in which he said he " rejoiced in the indication of activity on the part of the Republicans of the City of New York in the canvass which is opening under the most auspicious circumstances," and in conclusion Mr .Seward said: 'I would fain hope that my actire efforts in the canvass might not be necessary. But I hold myself bound by obligations of publio duty and personal gratitude, to contribute all the exertions necessary on my pait to the establishment of the Republican party in Jhe administration of the Government by the election of its cbosen and worthy candidates, Lincoln and Hamlin, and those obligations I th all faithfully fulfill." We find the following paragraph in the Cincinnati Commercial of yea:erday as a comment oo a statement of a Washington letter writer that tbe Breckinridge men of Indiana threatened to defeat Hendricks for Governor on accoant of his sympathy with Douglas: The sympathy of Mr. Hendricks for Douglas will nerer hurt him. Mr. H. a exceedingly anxious at Baltimore tht Donglas should be withdrawn and the unity of the party preserved. He declared during the violent debate of the first day of the Convention that if Judge Douglas could look upon that ecene for one hoar, and know bow largely his personality- was instrn -cental ia exciting the disturbance, he would peremptorily withdraw Lis name from before the Convention, aad let it split, if it rna?t, upon principle.

a.:. k Paaalar Sover-1 We commend the following facts to Oie admirers of Ducgbs for their careful perusal. If they are pro-slavery in their riews, we have nothing more fo say, as they are certainly suited in the candidates of the Douglas Conrrntion. But if they have in the simplicity of their hearts, and through, tluir coofideoce in the twUting giant, ba Ud to suppose that it was measure calculated to secure the territories to the free white laborers of the country then read what Douglas himself savs his doctrine has done.

DOUGLAS' SPEECH IN THE SENATE May 12, 1860. The Effect of Squatter Sovereignty. In Mr. Douglas' speech in the Senate, delivered May 12ih. 1860, he gave a sketch of the workings of his pet measure in the following wordsr "Now what has been the result ? My views were incorporated into the comprom ise measure ot 1850, and his were rejected. Has the South been excluded from all the territorv aenuired from Mexico? What 6ay8 the bill from the House of Representatives now on the table, repealing the s!ave code in New Mexico established by the people themselves ?

Extending slavery from the Rio Grande to the Gulf ot California, and from the line of Mexico, not only up to 36 deg. 30 miiibut 38 deg. north latitude, giviug the south a degree .aud a halt more territory than it has ever claimed ; and 4- Given up to slavery for the first time since the American Revolution, territory teat freedom once claimed and occupied. This, too, is the "Little Douglas" last claim, his patent claim and his freshest bid for the Presidency. Freemen of the West ! How do you like the picture. Candidate Tor Congress. In accordance with prerious pledges, and a desire at all times to promote the harmony and success of the Republican party, we hare to-day placed in our list of candidates the came of Mr. Julian, as a candi date for Congress. We delayed this action because we beliered that tbe former uniform practice of the party should bare been carried out, by the holding of a conrention, in which erery county in the District could be fairly represented. This course having been refused, we hare placed his name in the Republican ticket. Sjmeohe friends of Douglas and "squatter sovetignty," are enthusiastic in their praise of the clear and forcible illustration of thai cardinal principle of the Dong!as democratic doctrine, as given by Mr. Flagg in his speech at the ratification on Saturday night last.

GREAT HAILSTORM.—The neighboring village of Hillsboro' in this county was visited, on Saturday evening last, with a hailstorm which exceeded anything of the kind which has occurred in this county within our remembrance. The hail was so large and came down with such force that neatly every window in the place which was exposed, was entirely broken to pieces. In some instances the hail broke through the roofs of the houses. The wheat, corn and oats, and the orchards in the immediate vicinity were much injured. The hail fell too, in unprecedented quantities. Since writing the above we have heard further particulars in regard to the storm. We are informed that the entire crops of Wm. Addleman, Jacob Miller and Calvin Hunt were utterly destroyed. The orchards are entirely divested of fruit, leaves and small limbs. The forests stripped of their foliage. Chickens and birds were killed on the trees. A large number of young hogs were killed, and a number of cattle much injured. The hail is said to have been as large as anhulled walnuts, and in many places in ravines were more than two feet deep. One gentleman says he collected a bucket of hail stones not one of which was less than a goose egg. ———<>——— ——>There was a very severe storm in this place on Tuesday night. "The lightning flashed and the thunder rolled" as it seldom does out of the tropics. As the storm stilled on Wednesday morning, some patriotic individuals brought out their cannon to announce the national anniversary, and as it belched forth its puny powers, we were impressed with the insignificance of man in comparison with the elements of nature when aroused by internal fires. When God speaks man should be silent. ———<>——— FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Friday morning last, a bridge on the Hillsboro' turnpike, near the residence of Enos Thomas, Esq., fell through, precipitating Charles Powell, his two horses and load of lime to the creek, a distance of some 20 feet. Mr. Powell was severely but we trust not dangerously injured. His horses were more or less injured, but were able to walk away. The timbers had rotted without exhibiting their weakness in their outward appearance. The bridge south of the residence of James Moore, is considered in an unsafe condition, but will doubtless be made permanent in a few days. ———<>——— XT"A friend handed us a bill a few days I u.l ,K fl'nin ;,1(!,rmr.t dec;ded vote, to endorse the present adI ministration. Thus was Cas and BucLanan repudiated by thcirlricnds. SThe Democracy of this State boasts of its economy in administering tbe affairs of this State. We notice that the Agent of Stile, in his report made to the last session of the Legislature, says he pays 8800 for rent of offices that after the liberal salary of $2,500 per year, his coutingent expenses are nearly $2,000 besides. The whole duties of Lis office can be performed (or $-300 per year. Where is the economy ia this? D. W. Chbeswar, Esq. Obt former fellow citizen, Mr. Cheeseman has been spending a few weeks visiting bis old friends and relitives in this city and viciuity. He has made several speeches in this county, which hare been much admired for their ability and fairness. Wahope he may be induced to address our people again, before his return to California. He addressed a large crowd at Thorntown a few evenings since, of which the editor of the Mail makes the following notice: Mr. Cheeseman one of the delegates from California to the Chicago Conrention. addressed our citizens on last Monday night, and such was the effect of the speech that all listened with perfect silence. We caw j several Old Liners listening, and we hope they wul renect, ana it wants but little reflection to see that the Democratic party is in error. He is an able speaker, and pictured the corruption and false reasoning of that party, in such light as is strong argument against tbe base policy carried oat by James Buchanan. Look at the tragedy in Meadow Valley, where 117 Americans citizens were murdered in cold blood, and this administration never sought to redress the wrong, or when an investigation was going on before Judge Cradiebaagb, hi was removed, fearing it might fall upon some of his favored clan. Yet for tbe runnier of one sailor ia southern sea, Buchanan sends a fleet at the cost ot millions, bat on oar own soil, within oar own limits. 117 men, women and children, sleep ia Meadow Valley, beyond the Rocky Mountains, nnavenged.
