Itclaon and Voorheea The joint discussion between Messrs

Nelson and Vcorheea, ciui off in this) city oo Saturday. -The audience was the larg est we have ever scan on a similar occsion in this citr. and the saeakara seemed allva to the surroucdiogs. ,Mr, Voorbees'rnade tba first speech, and started off by aying tbat the question of slavery in the Territo ries was j) one of tbe basinets of tbis peo ple. From the very start, it was evident his programme was to play upon the prej udices of hia hearers, and instead of en lightening them, to blind them as much as possible. H .s first proposition, that the people of this Coogreasfoaal District have nothing to dj with; whether our vast pub lie domain is to be Slave or Free that it is no business of theirs, whether Slavery is forced into free Territories or oot, is absolutely too demagogical to merit a re ply. He, in the tnot pompous snd self complacioot 'manner ignored tbe great queation now before the American people the very question that has shivered the Democratic party to pieces, and built up the Republican party to its present proud and glorioui position by telling his bear era that it was "none of their business." His next proposition waa (we give hia exact language) "that the Southern and Northern oien go into the Territories on terrnes of perfect equality, and they bold their property after they get there eubject (o Territorial legialalioo. From thia be argued that tbe slaveholder bad the right to take his negroes, as property, into the public domain, subject to legislation after he" gets them there. Wss there ever a more silly proposition than this T If the Southern raan has the right to tske hia alaves into the territories, it ia a right given to hirn by. tbe Federal Constitution, and how can u Territorial legislature, take from m Americau citizen, a constitutional right? No well informed man pretends that it can,' and auone but a Dernogouge would assert that it could. After this Mr. Voorhees speech was a disconnected and disjointed barrangue sgsinst Abolitionist, N. P. Bsnks, John Sherman, Helper, the New York Tribune and Republican irenerallv. His effort a w certainly failed to convince any one that he was right and only hsd a tendency the more perfectly to confirm those who are opposed to him, in their Opposition. It was evident to all. that Mr. Voorhees hsd net thought, it adviaeable to understand himself the great issues that are now thrill iog the public heart, and was impressed itb the rediculous idea, that the electors in theTtb congreseional district, could be entertained by unfounded assertions and rediculous political blunders. Mr. Nelson followed in a clear and com prehensive exposition of the doctrins of the Republican party. Every one under stood him every one knew pricisvly where he stood, every one waa told wkat he wa in favor of and what he opposed. and avery one must have been impressed with his unquestionable superiority over bis opponent. He did not evade or en deavor t) shurk any one of tbe doctrines contained in the Chicago platform, but maintained the principles of the Republi can party ia every particular. What they are. was a part of his speech. After Mr. Nelson had thus defined his position and that of the Republican party, he turned upon the roan of straw which Mr. Voorhees bad built, and with one buff and a few kicks the ungainly thing stood in all its naked deformity before the audience He run his keen Damascus blado into Mr. V'shuge balloon, and it collapsed at once. Dismissed of its gaseous properties and the speech was shown to be nothing leva. than nothing all gas. The vast audience sympathizing iu thu triumphant effort of Mr NeNon followed him all along with hurts of hearty applause. In every particular, as a speaker, an ora tor, a debater, a cholarand a politician Mr. Nelson showed himtelf to be greatly auperior to his 'opponent. His friend were bdighted with him, and will exert all their influence to secure bis election. One thing was strikingly evident in th debate between those two gentlemen. Mr Voorhees has made the campaign upon humbug, a deception, a mere quibble. He has presumed too much upon the ignorance of his hearers. He has been csjoled into the belief, that it is as proper to exasper ate the prejudices as to convince the judg ment. He hss forgotten the true dignity of the political debater, and iu his eagerness to succeed ban reorted to the stupid tricks of tht charlatan. He aeka provetbat the Republicans are Abolition itsts a proposition which he knowa i not susceptible of lh lesst shadow proof. He essays to thow that the Re publicsn party endorses the sentiments contained In Helper's Impending Crisis proposition he. as well all intelligent men knows is false. His cuuiog has told bini upon what people predicate their pre judiets atin ktepublicanism, and hi whole effort is lo inflame those prejudices In i.o single caae, did Mr. Voorhee, i either of his speeches, attempt to reach tli . . .... understanding ol his hearers. Ucnuncia tion, misrepresentation and defamation was Iiis whole stock in trsde. This, as the readers of the Express know, from tl, numerous correspondence we have lain before them Irom tne dine rent por tions of the District where he ha spokon has ben the character of his speeches froia the start. No wonder he has, ceased to make friends from the day he first lowk the stump until the present, and if his defeat should be overwhelming, he roust attri bute it to the fact, that it is the fate oi one, who might be a eonisteut politician and a.i upright del aler, but who choose to be an empiric and demagogue. It will tsach him a lesson which eviden'.Iy he has not jet learned, that all ovar this county, in every portion of this Congressional Dis tnct, there are men, whir understand thoroughly and truly the great iaue now before lie people, and that llij will de lect, come from whatever source it tuay, the twisting and turnings of the adroit time-Herver. It would hare been better. far btlter for Mr. Voorheea' rrpuiiiu aud bit future, bad be, in the beginning of ibis campaign, been impressed with th helisf. that there was some iatelligerre, some yt litical learning, and some earnest, aineere pni : who, ai dif7ral times, would h preterit and bear bitn ipeik. Hid be been thus Impressed, ha luiht then have had the rxanliness lo advocate a principle if it was right, snd denounce it if it was ronz. He woald then hay seeu that hia tuccesi def ended upon his merit, aud hia future u poti thtf faiitli that true tsen r posed in him. As it is, "come weal, er come woe," the damaging effect of this campaign, we fear, will eliek to him like he filling shirtof Nesim. Mr. Nelson and Voorhees baa four more appointments to fill sod tbis campaign, ill have ended, and tbe people at the bal lot, one week from to morrow will determine which shall ,be their aerrant at Washington. Whether he who boldly and frankly avows bis principles sod stands by Ibtm from first to last following them

Who . at toou time , called Mr. Douglas a "poison traitor, within the Democratic party," and at atother time, eulogises him as the very head and front of this same Democratic party., But it is the business of the people, who are conversant with all these facta to determine what is right to be done, and with their discussion we will be content, and the apirants for ibis important po sition must be. " Oar Praipectt. The Weekly issue of the Express oo Wednesday will be the laat previous to the State electtoo. It is well, therefore, that ws say a ward to our Republican readers ia relation to oor prospecta. lo the coonty of Vigo there can certain ly be but little doubt of the success of oor entire county ticket, by an average major ity of at least 250. However, there should be no caseation of our efforts to' make the taaiority as large aa possible. Oor county ticket is composed of men, every one of whom is peculiarly fitted to fill the posi tion to which he aspires. No Republican or well-wisher of tbe county of Vigo, but most feel a just pride, when be eompares the two tickets presented to the people for their support. Tbe most encouraging newa comes from each of the townships, and the Republicaoa will carry every township in iheco'ifuty by Increased majoritiea, with the exception ef three, or perhaps Tour, at far theat. Harrison township will give thelar gast Republican majority she has ever giv en, but our ticket will come into this lo ship resiiectably ahead. From the Congressional District we have tli most aneourairinir reDorta In 1658 McClure, Democratic candidate for Secre tary of State, beat Peelle, the Republican candidate only 674" votes while Lange the Republican candidate for Auditor o State, beat Dodd, the Democratic candi date 54 votes. The vole for Secretary o Stale, is perhaps tbe beat criterion of the strength of the two .parties in this Dis trict at that time. We have then but 674 majority to overcome, and it will be reeol lected that this was attaiaed, when Solli van gave 1095 Democratic majority. Sul livan will not give over 700 Democratic msjarity now, and Clay will gite not to exceed 350, thus making the Democratic majorities in Ihe District 1050. The Re publicans will get 600 majori tj in Parke 150 in Vermillion. 200 in Putnam and 250 in Vigo, making Mr. Nelson's majorities in the District 1200 and electing bim by 150 over his opponent. In this estimate we give majorities to neither party in thecoun ties of Owen and Greene. White the Democrats may by possibility get a smal msjority in Owen, it will be more than off set by the Republican majority in Greene Thus it will ba seen . that every thing is encouraging to tbe Republicans in tbis county, and throughout this District. We have but to go to the polls, every man teha is qualified voter, and vote for the candi datea of his choice, and victory is ours, The time has come, fellow-citizens, when there ahould be a change in thia Slate gov ernmcut, and the proper place to begin, ia here st home, and then destroy that "buzssrd roost" at our Capital. Our taxes are eating us up under this Democratic rule and as long as ita partizans remaiu in pow er, an long will the people groan.. Our State ticket is a glorious one. No more fitting meu ever asked tbia people for their roles. Who doubts but the elo quent and gallant Henry. S. Lane wil make a good, and honest, and an econotni cal Governor! No one not even a Dam ecrat doubts this. Who doubts the effi ciency of every other msn upon o ir State ticket T No ooe nol'even a Democrat can find ought to say of any individusl oo it They are all good men, all honest men all able men and every one of them wil be elected by handsome majorities. Let each one of us then spend a few days for our country's good. See that your neigh bor votes. Advise witb all around you and see if aomothing should not be don to lessen the heavy burdens of taxation under which we are now oppressed. Re member that our publie debt, which but few years ago waa less than $9,000,QOO has now, by aone unaccountable means reached to over $10,000,000. This mat ter ahould be looked into, and as long as the party which has done this, remains i power, it never will be. Clean out then those who having enriched tbeioselve have squandered the people's money and burdened tlum with a heavy debt Go to the polls oo Tuesday, October the 9th and see that your neighbor goes also. Gu md Toln for the friends of th laboring man, for tboes wh are io favor of free homes, fiee speech, and free Terri tory. tp ; . . . i . D Acting under the best legal advice of the city, the County l-ommisioners, a few data ago, thought it not legal to de aignate an additional plce of voting in this township. The reason that wss para mount in (he minds of the Commissioners was, that at that time, they could not, under the taw, order an additional poll to be opened. This waa the opinion of the best legal advisers iu the city, aud the Com uiis.ioners desiring that all the votes tin would be cant ahould be legal, and would eventually be counted, determined there could Ugally bo but one poll opened i this township on next Tuesday. It will strike every rrasooalle man that this was the proper course to ' be pursued. foritcan work no hardship to any one will deprive no one from voting who is en titled to vote, and only imposes an additional burdeu en the Jodges'and Clerks. Every person knows that one precinct is sufMcieut to receive all the votes of this township, and the clerks will have ample time to count all I lie ballots durinir the time gireu by lbs law. It may delay th knowledge of the result a' few hours, but ibis in all, and Is it not mneh better this should he done, than lo run anr risk in the eutire number of votes pol It J at an addi tional precinct being illegal and thrown out? Certainly it would. 1 Two thousand votes Is perhaps aa many ai will be polled in this township, and it s folly to say they can not be received at one precinct, Twice that number could be received and counted, by the time sl owed by the law. '. We are told that mrae of the Democrat e candidatea are much inoeused at the Commissioners for this most judicious ac- . a a a a a a . . lioo.

We hops to be seconded . by persons in the various localities. Any accommodation extended to us and the public io the way of returna furnished, will te reciprocated by sending 1 the persons furuishing us with nws.'copies of the Express containing the very latest received to the time we har from iheru.

This will save the clerks much trouble and very greatly expedite the business of counting. s s O Tbe Indianapolis Journal, the Gazette and Commercial of Cincinnati, and the Old Line Guard (Dem.) all agree in estimating the Mess Meetiog on the 28th at Indianapolis far below that of the 23th of August, in point of numbers. They all agree in subtracting about 45,000 from the estimate of the Terre Haute Journal, which is however but a b'Af error for tbe Journsl to fall into under the circumstances. The Journal Editor was no doubt vastjtnthuifd when he counted the crowd. ' ' ,. . . IT Glad of it.

"THE RIGHT OF SECESSION MUST BE MAINTAINED. IT IS THE LAST THE ONLY HOPE OF THE SOUTH.

The Wickliffe resolution in Douglas's platform aod Mr. Dougla'a apeech in the Senate on the 23d of February, 1858, show positively thst he and his party hold that all the rights of the people in the Territories j are subject to the restrictions imposed by the decisions of the Supreme Court. Read the resolution Retolved, That it is in accordance with a-a s-s . TT . the interpretation of the Cincinnati Plat form, thai, during the existence of the Territorial Governments, tbe measure of "restriction,'' whatever it maybe, imposed by the Federal Constitution on the power of the "Territorial Legialatures" over tbe subject or the "domestic relations," as the ssme has been, or shall hereafter be, finally determined by the "Supreme Court of the United States, should be respected by all good citizens snd enforced with promptness and fidelity by every branch of tbe General Government. Thereitis. Tbe "Territorial Legislatures," that is the people of the territories, have certain "restrictions" on "their power over the domestic relations, that is, over slavery, imposed by the "Supreme Court, which "every branch of tbe General Goveminent is bound to enforce." In plain English tbis says "tbe right of the people cf a territory to govern themselves in regard to slavery is subject to tbe Supreme Court."

Editor Loaltville Jur. Deae 8ia . I have just read an article in your paper, addressed to the conservatives of Illinois and Indiana. You start out with an abundance of flattery, giviug them (tbe conservatives) to understand that they hold the balance of power, and therefore their action is of exceeding moment ; you seero to think that our position is one of deep responsibility, and do not doubt of our meeting that responsibility worthily. All of this wa take down with a very good grsce, for we are all more or less susceptible of flattery we seem to inherit it from our grandmother Eve ; but you have not riled on the aronv hieb I enough ; you have not succeeded in augar I coating the foul and loath ome bait held I a a . SB I were the last roan, Mr. Prentice, that the I friend of Bell aod Everett expected to receive bucq auricc um. c übt ai I waya regarded you as a firm nncompro I miaing Union man. and I am at a loea to account for your sudden Jim Crow moveI ment. There most be something "rotten I in Denmark." Have you. too. joined in the unholy alliance of Deaa Richmond, Hunt. Brooka A Co.T Is it cose to ihis.

I am no political wire' worker, nor ooe of those that staod bebind the acenes, or that shuffles the political cards sod cut for deal, ar,d cannot therefore fathom the dark recesses of political schemes and dis honest politicians ; but am simply a lever or my country, a Unioa man and my highest smbition is to aee my country and my countrymen prosperous and happy, and to see the bitter feelings and animosity now abroad in the land buried forever. and shall therefore oppose, to tbe bitter enu,tnis unnoiy ana wicxeu attempt to sell oat the Union men, of my own State at least to Stephen Arnold Douglaa. I here proclaim to the Uniao men of lllinoia and Indiana that there is a fraud and treachery afoot ; this thing $mellt of cor ruption. Stand firm, Unioa meu of Illi nois ; he not deceived ; be not sold. You have candidates of your own that you may well be proud of, and I thaak God that there is oot a Henry Clay Whiff, in my knowledge, bnt what would sceul at the very idea of voting for Douglaa. What ! ask an Old Liae Whiz of Illinois and Indiana to vote for ihe teviler and slsn derer of Henry Clay ; to vote for the most bitter and hostile opponent that ever the rri! . . ..

There is no State news of importance The political news flora Oregon is im portent. Tbe Oregon Legislature met at Salem on the 10th inst. Vbe House waa organized by chooaing Benj. Harding, Douglas Dem ocrst, who, at the last two eloctioos, roted for Logan, Republtcau, for Congress, as Speaker. T. MePaltea, Republican, Chief Clerk; Allen, Douglas Dem., Ass't Clerk, and Severage, Repub., Sergeant-at-Arnis. The Seuatorial organization of the Assembly wss regarded by the Breckinridge members aa an indication that a Douglas Republican coalition was already formed to elect Col. Baker and S. W. Nesmith, 1 Senators ' The Constitution of Oregon requires two-thirds of all the members elected to each House lo form a quorum to dobusi nesa. . Upon the receipt of the oewa of the or--.isation of the House, six of the Breck inrid ee Senatojs bolted, absconding from S4lem wI on lh rooroin. 0f the 11th, eByjog that body without a quorum, and iu lbtt coodition has continued up to the lattit accounts. The names of tbe Senators who withdrew, are Florence, Monroe,' Berry, Mcllenry, Fitzhugh and Shelby, the latter is a soo-in-law of Geo. Lane. A resolution was passed by the Senate empowering the Sergeant-at-Arras to com pel tbe attendance of absent members, and call to hia aid whatever force is necessary. Tbe President of the S-nate is Hon. S: S. EIkins, and Secretary is Mr. Paple, both Douglas men. Tbe Sergeant-at-Arms,. to whom haa been entrusted the delicate task of bringing back Ihe abscouding members, is of tbe aame political faith. The Assistant Secretary and the Enrolling Clerk ate Republicans. An attempt will be made by the Breckiondge men to defeat a quorum in the I House to preYeot tLe election of Saltier and Nesmith. This cannot be accomplished, and the want of a quorum will not necessarily prevent the electiou of the Senators. It is probable that ihe two U. S. Senatora will be elected by a coalition between the Douglas men aod Republicans. Col. Baker bas received the Republican nwmiuatiou iu caucus, and will be one of the Senators, if there is any elec lion at all. This is generally conceded I on both aides. I I Both Houses adjourned uutil Monday, Sept. 17th. As the stage pasaed through Corvallia on the night of the 14th, the Sergeant-at-Arms was there with a posse of citizens, sesrehieg for tbe absconding Senators, who, on the arrival of the officer, hsd taken to the brush to avoid arrest. They had all been stopping at Corvallis ever since leaving tbe Senate One of them was arrested but subsequently escaped THEOVERLAND MAIL. Fobtu Smith, Ark.

The "Guard" cn the Douglas State

Ticket. The "Old Line (Ind.) Guard." published tbe following resolution adopted by the Breckinridge State Committee at its meeting tne omer day, together with a short article on tbe question of supporting tbe DougUa State ticketwhich we append: Resolved, That in view of the conciliatory overtures which, from lim to time, have Wen made to the ft lends of Mr. Douglas in this Sute and rejected by them, if the present State tick et be defeated, they, and they alone will v responsible lor the result: DOUGLAS STATE TICKET. Let it be remembered that the New Albany Ledger, one of the best posted of all the Douglas organs,- claims all the candidates on the State ticket as Douglas men. We have reason to apprehend, we again aay, that the Led'.vr is well informed in this respect. If they ßhouldbe elected the political power and patronage of Indiana will oe divided between the Douglasite and their allies, the Know Nothings the former taking the lion's share of tbe loaves and fishes, and the latter the offal a. All the influence of the Stale officera elect all the influence of those expecting to participate in the State patronage will be brought to bar against the fiiends of Breckinridge and Lane, to weaken their organization now, and to defeat their ticket hereafter. For one, we are not disposed to kiss the rod which will be used to smite us. Capital Should Own Labor." In a speech at Philadelphia on' the 17th day of September, U5G, Herschel Vesuvius Johnson candidate on the Douglas ticket for the Vice-Presidency, declared, the atrocious sentiment that "capital should own its labor." Write it out and look at it, ye toiling freemen of the great .Northwest. Here is the exact language of this pro-slavery aristocrat. Read. We believe capital should own labor is there any doubt that there must be a laboring class everywhere? In all countries and under every form of social organization there must be a laboring class a class of men who get their living by the sweat of their brows and then there must be another class that controls and directs the capitrl of the country. Free white men who earn their bread by honest toil, are asked to gu to tbe poll 8 and vote for a man who declares unblushingly that the owners of our railroads, work-shops and farms should own the sinews and souls of those who earn their bread by lh sweat of their brow. Are you in lavor of this doctrine? If so vote the Douglas ticket. Lafayette Courier. "lor hit part, livinjin a Slave State whore he could not vote for Lincoln, he watfjoing to vote for Bell Ex-Governor ßebb, now, we believe, of Tonnessee, made a speech in New Albany, on Friday evening last, in which he said: Gov. Bebb made a glorious Bperi last evening, to avery large audience. It was a regular old fashioned Whig speech. In the first place he showed that Mr. Lincoln was an old line Whig, differing in politics not the crossing of a nor the dotting of an's from Henry Clay. He then showed that the Republican party was in ft vor of a high protective tariff, while Democracy was not, after which he explained the advantages that would accrue from such a tariff. 77c then said achange in theafairsof the Government must be brought about, end recommended the election cf Lincoln as the safest way of effecting it? lor fiis art, Vin a slave Stale where he could not vote for Lincoln, he teas going to vote 'for Mr. Bell. It was a regular love-feast we have never witne&sed more real enthusiasm, uor heard a speech that waa more fully enjoyed by an audience. V. A . Tribune. a m Child Killed by a Maniac. Monday, the most horrible tragedy that has ever been our duty to record, occured at the Richfield Springs. The perpetrator was under the influence of mania a pot u, and had been so violent threatening to kill some one, that the neighbors complained, and be was ta ken into custody by the overseer of the poor, Mr. Ames, who, hrjin unacountable reason, took ihe man to his own home. Mr. Ames had visitinS him a daughter and infant child, only a year oid, who, with its mother, was left alone for a short time iu the same room with the maniac. The latter, in a moment of sanity, requested of the mother the privilege of holding her iufant. She was distrustful of him, but was finally induced lo trust him with the child. No sooner did the crazy man become possesssd of the child, than grasping it with one hand in iti mouth, be dashed its brains out upon the floor. It was done in an instant, the unfortunate mother in the meanwhile being transfixed with honor. She very coon, however, found her voice and screamed "murder," which greatly enraged the monster, who, had not help quickly arrived, Mould have perpetrated a double morder. Uniontoten Xews. a Gov. Wise has written a short letteronly twenty-seven written pages to repel the charge that Breckin ridge r petitioned for John Urown a reprieve. Having done this, his monomania returns to vex him, and he winda up the document by saying: It is time that the slavo btstes went ready for the revolution, which is inevitably, with the purpose to take from them not only their reronal Drooertv in neuro slaves, but their political properly in thia great and glorious Union.
