DEMONSTRATION.! ITIore l?oplc '-ozctlit-r tli:i ii ever before Astcmbled atone time in the County of Viffo. Tremendious outpouring Masses. of the THE PEOPLE WIDE-AWAKE. AXD THE WIDE aWKES AROUSED. A few week ago we gare it a our judgment that there wer 15,000 people assero bled in this city, when Cassius M. Clay poke here. Whether our guess was cor reel or not we lea re those who were present to determine. We now say, that there were assembled, at Mr Farrington'e jrove, on yeaterdsy, at least one half more than when Mr. CU7 spoke. We hare lived io Vigo county twenty years, and we hare oarer seen so roany pople together, at one time, within her boarder, as assembled around the stand of the different speakers - . . a ews yeateraay. i nere never was, iu our opinion so many people together at one time in this county as on this occasioo. The proctssion trait splendid one, the full particulars of which will be found in another column and when it reached the grore and the speakers mounted the stand, aod the Sea of upturned fsces greeted them , as far as the rye could distinguish a human face, there was one looking hack at you. Mr. Swett,of llinois, spoke firt, aod j his effort waa one wotthy hisdistinguish- ' d reputatioo. We cannot give even a ! succinct outline of it. tie spoke right j noose to the common tense of his hearers. Hegaretbem plain, honest, straightforward truths truths that will hriog forth good fruits. Swett waa followed by Hon. Francis W. Kellogg, of Michigan, in a powerful snd convincing effort. Iiis audience was animmeuse one, and he entertained all those within sound of hi voice wi'h aoasterly skill. As he warmed np with his sol jcct.the attention of theaudieucewss riveted upon him, aod the srathiog review hegave of the actsof the corrupt Administration of James Buchanan, fell like a thunderbolt among the long faced Democrats, who, trembling in their boot a, stood around. Mr. Kellogg is an able Speaker and the Republicans of thi county are un- !

They spoke from different stands from the i one where we were, and we could nnlv sp i j " " the crowd, around them and hear the repeated önzzas. ; In tbe evening eloquent and able speeches were made in front of the Court House by Miles Fletcher, B.B. Moffatt, and Mr. Spink, editor of the Paris Beacon. In this connection, we have only to say that the most sanguioe expectations of all Republicans were realized ,and every thing ow indicates a glorious and triumphant rictory on next Tuesday. The next rally. friend, is to the polls there let your j voices be heard and your influence felt.
TMELtTTLxboDora.-On the latof March i U-S. Senate and now talks it out-at-1855, Stephen A. Douglas, in his place io 1 te1 to re,i,t the "gtion of Mr.
the Senate of the Uoited.said: "I am for a reduction of the tariff to a strict revenue standard. I am a free trade man to the fullest extent that te can carry it, and at the same lime collect revenue enough to defray the expenses of the Government. In other ords, I am fr no cth er kind of a tariff than a revenue tariff." The other day at Harrisburg, Pa., where be thought he could make a few voles, he ; entered into a defence of the protective tari iffpolicy, especially as applied to Pennt Y"V . S 11 syivania interests. Did tbe world ever be fore behold such a spectaclel "Now you see it now yon don't." How a PaiXCl Tbatels. With Lord Renfrew it can be emphatically said that he travels on his money. From Cincinnati to Pittsburg he pays the modest sun of two thossaod dollars for a special train ; bat while he pays in accordance wilh royalty, he expects to receive immunili not granted to ordinary men. Tbe train which bears His Highness has the eotire right of the roads. Ao engine epecially detailed precedes the train to keep the track clear and look out for any imperfections in the road that would jeopardize the safety of the Prioce and royal ratioue. The agent of the Prince, who is a cousin 14 him on Albert's side, arranges all his traveling matters, and stipulates in the bargain with railroad companies that on no consideratioa shail any person be allowed on board the traio except those neccessary to manage it; and these arc prohibited from entering the royal car, bot ride by themselves in a forward car XT Dr. Hamilton, the editot of the Atlanta (Ga.) Confederacy, was indorsed only a few days since by the Louisville Democrat. Within a few weeks be said through his paper: "The South will never f ermit Abraham Lincoln to be inaugurated President of the United States. This is a settled nd sealed fact. It is the determination of all parties at tbe Sooth. Aod let the consequences be what they may whet her the Potomac is crimsoned in human gore, Pennsylvania avenue is paved ten fathoms in depth with roaog'ed bodies, or whether the fast vertage of liberty is swept from the face of the American continent, the Sorfih, the loyal South, tbe constitutional South, will never submit to auch humiliation and degradation as the inauguration of Abraham Line.ln !" 17 Douglas made a short speech in Cincinnati and said among other things, "I am satisfied from what I have seen in the last three days, that Ohio msy be ranked among the Democratic States." He aid tbe same thing when he was closing his stumping tour through Maine. He assured the slsveocrscy that nothing remained for them to do, but to march op to the polls and grasp victory. They marched; and were routed by 19,000 msjority. So it will be in the Ruckeyt State. Lincoln will sweep it by 30.000 over Douglas. ST It is said $1,000,000 changed hands od the late race between Congaree aod Planet, orer the Fashion course.
JIT The California roiil bring thereport of a speech made by A. W. Week at Sacramento, which eeij, like everything grown in California, $ti generis. Here is a specimen of it:

Military Bands were on hand as usual. j earned auother dressed in deep mourning ; repreneotin Kansas, aod inouraing the multitudinous wrongs helped upon that deroted Territory by the present profligate Administration and the corript Democratic party. The other cars of a similar character were als i much sdmired. The sweetest little turn out we noticed was a carriage handsomely ornamented, carrying six little sir!, the olJest not orer 10 years, nestly arrayed, and handsome as angels. The carriage bore the till "Uncle Abo's Blossoms." Another admirable feature of this grand pageant was the BEFBESENTATI OX OV TRAUES. At the head of this department was a Union Blacksmith aud Wagon Maker's Shop, by Conner, Sherburne fc Co. a large wagon, bearing a forge, and work bench, a blacksmith at work on iron, a wagou-maker filliog a wheel, and a roan ahowiog a horse. .Next was a Cooper Shop, by Gilmans, Gibson & Co., with meu at work. On each side of the wagon was the motto, "Capital can't own this Labor." Then a Currier, at his calling, in a small express wagon. A Tin-Shop, by Wm.

A Paint Shop, by Barr, Barneft A Ross,

'Free Press." "Free Speech." Free Ho-nes." F'ec Territories;" "All hands from the Editor to the Devil for Old Abe." As the procession passed through the stn-ets.ihe boys were setting type, wolking off and distributing an original song written expressly for the Ttrre iilaute Olee Club. U. L.

We shall Dot undertake to.estimate the number in the procession, and c inteut ourself with saying what every citizen knows, that the procession was the largest and the most magnificent that ever marched thro igb our city. Parsing out 7th btreel 'to Cherry; down Cherry to 2d; down 2d to Ohio; up Ohio to 7ih. and out 7th to Wabash; down Wabash to 5th; the procession proceeded to Furring ton's Oruve, where the speaking took place.

The first thing was the pretonta lion of a tnoHt beautiful flag, from the Republican ladies of Terre Hau'e to tho Wide-Awakea ol Vigo county. The presentation speech, hy Mia Lotii Peppers, j which we will publish to-uiorro, was de livered with infinite grace, and most perfect elocution. The reception speech, by B. B. MofTitt, although entirely extempor ancous, was, we blieve.the happiest effort of bis life. After another song by the G!en Club, Hou. Leonard Swett, of Ills , was in'.roduced to the andiene and proceeded to addrifts them in one of the most logical, comprebeosire, and convincing speeches thst has been delivered in this city during the present campaign. In the mean while two other stands were occupied by W. G. Coffin, of Parke, and Col. Nelson. Coffin's speech kept the 'crowd surrounding him alternately beween bursts of laughter and applause. Nelson's speech was, by all lhat heard him, eonceeded to b the crowning effort of his life. Swett was sueeeded by Hon. Kelbg, of Michigan. Coffin and Nelson were followedby Shy, of Illinois, and "John P. Baird of this city. Shy's speech we did not hear. Beard surpassed himsr-ly on this occasion. His speech inspired a degree of eatbusism we hare never teen equalled. Late io the evening, the procession, after the presentacton of the t anner to the Ed gar eonnty delegation, returned to tbe city and disbanded for a few moments for sup per and to prepare for the geand torchlight raocKssiox, Which took Place at nmht. We confess our inability to d j-istics to this grandest pageant our city has ever witnessed.Those who failed to witness it must ever remain ignorant of the magnificence of ihe display. Nothing of the kind has ever been conceived of in this loclality. It was grand beyond description. After psra ding Ohio aod Wabash streets, which ap peared as one vast sea of rolling, waving lights, the procession, numbering some 400, surrounded the Court House Square, when soeh a scene of brilliant beauty and elab orate diaplay transpired, as never has pre ceded it, and will certainly never be ex celled . Roman candles. Rockets, aud other brillian Compounds went whizziog aid
; flying here aod there io every imaginable shape, lighting up both tbe heaves aod j the earth. After this display, speeches were made by Miles J. Fletcher at.d olh-
eas ut the esst 'door of the Court Houso. 1 he tiuifct tumulutous cheers were given by the dens-! multitude for Lincoln, Ls.ne, Lang, Nelson, Yates and others, and when all personal consideration were exhausted three cheers and a tiger mere given for matters and things in general. Altogether we hsve never witnessed auch a scene. Enthusiasm ia no fitting term to use for the out burats of applatses and excitement It wss an irrepressible overflowing of good feeling exeiteil by the beauty of the diy, the immense crowd, the fine display, the admirable speeches, and the unquestionable certainty of the most glorious triumph of a righteous cause of a free people and of a glorious principle. The4ibof October will long remain a bright epoch in the history of Terre Haute and the Republican party of Vigo county. Later from Europe. MOULT IMPORTATT FROM ITALY I FLIGHT or inx POPE EXPECTED I By the North America, which passed Cape Hare on Tuesday morning, we hare highly important uewa from Italy. Garibaldi's army had defeated Geo. Lamoriciere, after six hour desperate fighting, and the greater portion of lha Pontifi cal army capitulated. Among the prisoners are f00 ot the Irish Legion, whom the British Minister refused to recogoize as subjects of Great Britain. It was rumored that the Pope had already written a manifesto, announcing his intention to withdraw trOni Rome. His flight is confidently expected. Outside of Ancona, which is closely infested by Garibaldi's army, there is not a single Pontifical batallion. Nominal Citriositiks i the Hoose or Commons. A writer in the English Court Circular ssys: The following curiositiesare to be found in the House of Commons: Two Cubits and a Foot; a Lever and Two Locks; a Gorestaitud ilooj wnd candid Peel; a Peacock and Pease; a Bridge and a Booth; a Longfield and Hille Brook, Greenwood, Freeland and a Cave; a cross a Trollop; a Hunt wilh a Fox and a Roebuck, a Collier bringing Cuke and Coles; a Hunt with Leeks; a Patten conveyed by a.

To sura up all, they have among them two Kings, one Duke, a Marshal, a Palmer, and a Knight. Not a Candidate.

He is more modln. ,k.M ...... n 1 O The frauds upon the people of Illinois perpetrated by their Democratic effi Cers, by the issue of fraudulent State stocks, Dow amount to four hundred and twenty-eight thousand nine hundred and sixty dollars ($429.960.) No one knows how much the State of Indiana has lost in this way. Probably after the election of Lane and Morton it will be made known, to the sorrow of the tax payer. Madison Courier. That is what the Democrats fear. The struggle for their State Ticket is a struggle of life or deslb with them . O The Hon. Jefferson Davis made a speech in Memphis on the 221. The Memphis Appeal say ; "He thought thst it would be elf-dis-grace and self degradafon for any Southern roan to accept office or Itve under a Blsck Republican Administration." Well, when Lincoln becomes President, we presume nobody would object if Jeff. Davis would ga and hang himself. Exchange.. We object we much prefer that he be huiig. - Ollon. Theodore Frelinirbuysen, who run on the ticket for Vice-President with Mr. Clay, has openly declared himself in favorof Abraham Lincoln. Does that argue anything against Ihe assertion which Democrats fo often make, that Mr. Clay, if living, would now be on their side of the fence ? Mr. Frelinghuysen and Mr. Clay must have entertained shoot the same political sentiments, nnd it is hsrdly probable lhat the various omruersault of other men, have, or would ever changed cither ol them. .- 1"7"A Lincoln pole has hn put np in Oldtown, Maryland, by a gentleman of mvan, who is a Democrat, to assert his riht to do as he pleases. There ia no Republican clit, the large body or the voters being Bell and Everett men, but all panics have determined that lie set of aaen shall disturb that pole ; they thii.k every man has a rieht to his political sentiments and if the pole and the fiagou It flies indi cate viswa favorable to the Kepnblieao party it is nobody's business. There is, however, one Republican club in thai county, at Porapey Smash, which has a a lsrgn number ol names enrolled, ana tne club were to raise a Lincoln pole on Sat urday. Fassen- Iktervinti . Le Nord says that he is in possession of faets which warrants the assertion that an arrange ments had been made between England, and Austri and Prussia, and the object of which would prevent any ulterior intervention ot France, by force of arms , eiih er in Iiily or elswhere. The three points are as follows : 1 be three powers engage themselves : 1. To oppose any roilifary interrention of France in Itily, under any pretext whatever. 2.

TO THE CO?fr.lVTIVE MEN OF
INDIANA. The address of the "Union Stste Cenlrsl Committee of Kentucky, and the "Stste Executive Committee"of Louisville.wl.ich hss jit appeared will, doubibss. strike the minds of others as it does my own, as being of a character not a tittle extraordi nary. It is a sort of adrisnry proclamation "to the conservative man of Indiana." which our Kentucky friends felt it their DUTY to iaue, in order that they mij-ht persuade us to vote for the 'Democratic' State ticket on Tuesday next. It is direct intervention wnh onr domestic affsirs to roausgs which, in our way, they outfit to suppose us fully cspable. I feel it Mr duty as one of the persons adressed, and as a cuisen ef the Stste, to asy to the people of the Stste a few words in response to it. Those of us, who are especially addressed, are conservatives, and the leading feature of our conservatism consists in the fact that we hsve firmly maintained the right and doty of each Slate to manage its own domestic affsirs io its own way, without interference by the citixeus of oiher Stat. s This we have supposed to be essentisl to the seenritv of the slsve property of the South, and with that view it has been a cherished doctrine with as. But if worth anything, it is of reciprocal obligation, and should require of others, for whose benefl' we havo adhered to it, that the policy of our State should be managed by ourselves alone. This address aaye that our approaching State election has a national importance, aad therefore, that these Committees may, with propriety take cognisance of it. But suppose our people, in return, should ssy that the perpetuation of alavery in Kentucky is of national etneern, and for lhat reason they intend to interfete in the Kentucky election, and send into lhat State inflammatory appeals against alavery and in favor of its abolitito. end all lhat sort of thing what then? What would these Committees ssy to that? And yet the cases are precisely parallel. These genllemeo are from the State where the aahea of Mr. Clay repose, aod I know they admired him when living, and venerate his memory no less than we do. Yet they now advise us, who have been the lifetime defenders of his fame, to forget all that w bare said and done for thir ty years or more, and give our votes to bis lifetime enemies and defamers. They can not fail to kuow with what crushing weight Democracy has pre&sed upon the Slate for years, and the condition into which it has brought us, and how long manfully we have struggled to throw off the load; aud yet they ask ua to cease eur efforts and not only submit to its present and perpetual continuance, but actually to give direct "aid and comfort" to those who have beeu the authors of all onr calamities. The motive which could prompt such men as we know them to be, to give such advice must be strong indeed. They say, "It may be in itself a matter of small importance who ia Governor of ibis, that, or tho other State, Ac." Not, so as I think. One of the great evils of the times is, that attention to National politics has destroyed the dignity and lessened the importance of the State governments. The notion is far tco commocj hat if we can have this, that, or the other man President, it is no matter who or hat the Governors if the Stales are. We should he greatly belter off if we looked le$$ to the Federal Government and more to the State; and it is especially necessary at this time, lhat we should do so. Yet, at the same time, we have most important duties to wards both. And all will agree that it is our duty to see that we do not consent that our State shall be continued in its dawnward career unless we ein find compensation for tbe calamity in contributing toward the greater good of the Uuion. It the Union were really in danger, and wo could save it by voting for anybody, it would be well to do so, eudure the evil for a lime, and then make au tff rt lo throw it off. We may well bear present ills with philosophy, if we feel a confidence that they will produce good results hereafter. I do not doubt that our Kentucky friends think it is io danger, for,cenainly, nothing fbort of this solemn conricti.m could prompt them to advise us as they have I differ with them, and have no fers whatever cf ita permancy if the peopewill only take tne government into their own hands for a while. It is ssid that the threats of disunion in a few Southern States, in the event of Mr. Lincoln's election, is sufficient cause for so grest an alarm on our part asthat we should give up t'-e affAirs f our stste into the hands of the men who helped these disunionist to grow to their present power, and predicate our action upon the idea thst they actually can dissolve the Union. It we submit so openly and directly to such threats now, we shall thereby mske them available capital for fsctionits and demagogues always hereafier. How are tbey to dissolve the Union? That is the practical question. In the first place, there are only two States at the most three, which have avowed the purpose to do so. The ground of their avowal is. that they have the right to oecede from the Union, and lhat is the end of it. It is the South Carolina doctrine of 1832 33. Do our Kentucky friends concede thnt they havo thia right? I apprehend not. Then if they have not. how are they to dissolve the Un ion with all the other Ststes Sjf inst them as they will most certainly bet The thing is impossible, and, in ray judgment, it is nnwise to concede to the eecrdert what tbey now ask and what these two committees seem disposed to yield, for if we do. we have, to that extent, recognized their right to recede the existence of which, I most emphatically deny. utwhat propriety is there in ginn way totheae disunioniets, on the ground that they will break up the government if Lincoln is elected, when their candidate trat nominated by Convention ao actional ao that at Chicago? Have they tho exclusive right to he sectiontir i he plain truth is thatourtrue position is midmay mi ween th KTtreme narties.turninir uelthvr to the iv r Aanl.n .ith.r i ih.ir threata or dictation, but pursuing our own course in defence of the Union. We should repudiate sectionalism at both extremes, and more than all. are we bound to frown uDon everv attempt at secession. We should mske no concessions to its treasonablespirit. .jr.tr. We are asked to vote so as to defeat Mr. Lineoln; that is to abandon o.r own principles aud policy to effeet a negative result Thia concedes that our policy is not worth preserving, but thst we can lay down our K ou ed is, that if wedonotafew Southern States will secede. I cannot recognize such a rea eon as controlling my actions, or two reasons: first, I don't believe that the people of those States wish to secede, and second. I do not recognize their right to do so II they did wish it. But it is said that "Bell and Everett will carrr nearly IM tcnou oi me aouinern v.iij . ... states." I hope so. iut suppose mis calculation should fail, and th increasing weakness or Douglas should consolidate the Democratic vote of those States upon Breckinridge what then ? Although, iu that event.

Norosn who votes for Bell considers the election of Lincoln cause for disunion. Heoce, if "nearly the whole of the Southera States' vote for him, those who do so coaSdcTit, are largely I. the minority;
and thst ends ths controversy, for it lesves "nesrly the whole" South for ihe Unioa in any event. Then, if s fw Southern Ststes have no right to scced-; if -'nearly the whole" South is against disunion; if those who sre running one sectional caudidst could find no decent apology for breaking op the Union in c.rn"q uence of the success
of another sectional candidate; if it is wrong to mske concession to treasonable threats if disunion; if by roakini? auch concessions we should foster and not crush the treaon why should we, who have atood so long midway between the ex tremea. battling against both and for our own principles of conservatism, break our lines all at one, admit lhat there is no roer it in our own organit tion, and go over to an obnoxious and ancient adversary to be so comrlt'tcly absorbed as to have no du irict name or place hereafter 7 Such an act would be without palliation or apology. Our Kentucky friends should recollect that in their State tLe Douirlaa element a loo weak to stand un bv itself and mika fight against an vbodv. Its conscious ima a . Deciiity causes it to look around for some ally by whose aid it cao inflict a wound upon Mr. Breckinridge and his friends. while in malice and desperation prompt it i ... . m uim wim any weapon mat may be at handeven though II be the "bloody wea poo of Know-Nothingism." as thev hava bo ofteu called it. And if our friends there can make this element useful by absorbing it into themselves aod inducing it lo come tofAeir support, it is all eil enough. ny may tnus destroy it and thereby State we are the weaker element, and if we iiiriuaeives eirooffer. n it in nur snow that we are as read v. from anv cause. to Isy down our principles aud disregard the professions of our whole lives, as the Douglas men of Kentucky hare done, and go over to them, tee are the party lo be abtrbed. The stronger mar absorb the wenker in Kentuckv but can Ihe weaker absorb the stronger here? Hence, to my mind it is clear lhat this is a question of life and death with conervausm in Indiana. We hsve stood firmly and manfully for a long time yielding nothing to the defiance of either of our ad veraaries because we thought our friends io iheiape Slates needed our assistance in rebuking alike the slavery agitators of both North and South. But now, all at once aa suddenly as if we were surprised by a flash of lightning from a clear sky these same friends, for whose benefit we hare ao firmly maintained our stand, counsel us to gire way, disperse and demoralize our little army, and openly acknowledge before the world that what we have been all aloug proclaiming, to justify our separate existence as a party, is "mere leather and prunella " They have certainly yielded too readdy to a audden Impulse a frequent fault of the most generous natures. But, upou second thought, they cannot fail to see that when they have thus destroyed our conservatism we shall have left no check to the unlicensed war of factions, and the eye of Omniscience alone can see the result. This picture is not overwrought. We profess to believe and have constantly declared that the repeal of the Missouri Corapromise was the cause of the renewal of slavery agitation after the compromise of 1850, aod that it was the means of giring increased strength to the Republican party. This was ground upon which we justified' our organization and the establishment of the Constituf ionsl Union party, as set forth by those who inaugurated the movement. In the last address which was issued by our Central Executive Committee at Wash mgton, in August last, it is repeated in strong and emphatic terms. And acting upon this idea we declared in our late otsto Convention that wo would fuse with neither of the oiher pirties. Mr. Doughs is the author of Ihis repeal. It was his baud that struck down a "canonicd" compromise aud opened again the fl lod gates of passion, and we erenow asked to reward him by our confidence and votes for the act. More thau that, Mr. Hendricks voted with him to repeal the Missouri Compromise, and we are asked to vote for him also, to wipe out w ith a single ballot every word lhat we have iaid in condemnation of the act, Multify ourselves and give both office and adula'ion to the author of all the mischief. 1 esteem Mr. Douglas and Mr. Hendricks very highly, and would readi y defend either of them, as I have done mir thsn once, against un merited ssssuli. I wou'd go as far as anf man living to oblige our friends of Kentucky, but it is impossible for me to consent lhat the hon or of our lillle party may betsrnished. Ait has always priznd its honor more than office, I am unwilling, for one. to barter it away now for the mere promise of succeas whieh may turn out to be delusive. II our party ever shall prevail, I desire to see it do so by virtue of its principles, and not by becoming the ally of Democracy and tbe antbors of the repeal of the Missouri Compromise. If its principles are worth anvlhing they are worth maintaining . I I I a -a ...v -inrougu gooa ana evil report." II they are not, let us say so at once and openly renounce them at the bidding of our Kentucky Iriends, and go rir?ht over to one or the oiher of the sectional parties, and help along Inf! agjuiiort ot Marery and the work of dissolution That would be the inevitable eff-ct, though I know thev are the last men in the world to advise such a course if they could foresee the result. 1 heir seal has outstripped their julgmsnt. Suppose we vote for Mr. Hendricks, and our votes are necessary to elect him, what is gained by it? It would , T)OUfTia thp Sfat iinkaa not give Douglas tne siaie unless we should vote directly for h,m, as our jventucii? mentis aestre us to uo. we 8ha.ll then have given to Democracy a perpetual existence in the State, and f rL . i i l have bestowed OUr highest office Upon a gentleman who voted to repeal the Missouri Compromise; and then u f aH Lincoln shall carry the State, . .! . y ' we shall have the consolation of know ing thst we are ju9t in a condition to be laughed at aod to feel that we have RCted ,ike children who have been , u , . , A. tempted by a mere bauble to play the truant.

If wan -tick to Bell for President, the vote Of the Siae in November will not be changed b oar yot6 ror OoYernor. The idea . , , . . i ... ot its being changed contemplates that
we are to abandon Bell, which I aro unwilling to do. But we do gain something by Lane's election, in ray judgment, ana, therefore. I shill vote for him. II it an old Whij ducate J in the faith aa taught by Henry Clay: He and I have fought o many Whig battles
together that 1 tHink I know all the impulses and inclinations of his mind. His election, therefore, will, upm all the issu-a of the old parties, revive the spirit of Waggery, for which I have been all the time laboring. That will be something gained. But it is said that Lane advocates the Wilmot proviso, that'i true, but it is an abstraction, and the Demo cratio Senate can keep it from being passed during Lincola'i administration, if he is elected. The nreaent status of slavery cannot be changed during the next four years. Heoce, there is no necessity for th proviso. Nobody supposes it possible for ala very to co to Pike's Peak. BaairW Mr. Hendnck's advocates "Sqiatter and if I lived in the South and wanted to extend slavery. I would prefer the Wilmot Proviso, for that cao be met and fought in congress, while Squatereigmy ia dui a synonym lor ireedora. Lach, however, alike con-, tinuea aeitationthe one in Concress ' the other in the Territories. The last is far the worst, as fhe blood ahed in Kansas shows. We all disagree with Lane and Hendricks both, and have got to choose between them or not vote at all. Ia 1856 ma:iv of us chose not to vote at all, because there was no point of agreement betwen us and either of the candidates, though our Kentucky inenus aavisea us to vote lor Morton But not so now. There are points of agreement between us and Lane. We agres almost entirely upon every question except that of slavery having been Whigs together. Now. if. as Governor of the State, be has noth ing to do with slavery, and his elec tion will do anything towardsTeviving tne principles ot lue Whig party, is it not manifestly our true policy to vote for him? If we vote for Hendricks we 6hall perpetuate Democracy in theState., and when it comes to shout again to the revival of its power, we shall be greeted by the cries of "Plug Uglyism,' "Know Nothingism," Midnight Assassins," and all those other sounds so grateful to the foreign ear! Did anybody ever hear of Dem crats making a party bargain that they didn't gaic by it? It will be so now. if we make one. But we are urged to defeat Lincoln that Bell may be elected by the House which assumes that Lincoln is likely to be elected by tbe people: If the election goes to the House I hope Bell will be elected but .hoy it is to be done puzzles me not a litCe." It takes the votes of 17 States to elect. Of these we have one, Douglas one, Lin coin fifteen, Breckinridge fourteen, and there are two tied between Americans and Democrats. If we make a bargain with Douglas he may possibly, but not certainly give U3 one that makes two. The brer ch between him and Breckinridge men is so great that ha cannot give us any of their fourteen votes- that's certain. So that we will have to make another bargain when we get into the House in order to get them. That we cannot do, if they ctrry a majority of the Southern States, for they would prevent an election by the Honsein order to elect Lane by the Senate. But how are we to maka a bargain with them? Our friends in the South denounoe them as disunioniets thus not only offending them but making the breach between us and them wider every day. Will they forgot all this? Or if they trade with us so as to give us their votes, unless we give them an advantage proportionate to their greater number of States over onr? Reasoning from our general knowledge of tne springs ot political action, we may suppose not. What then? Are we to make concessions to this disunion Democracy and thereby make ourselves parties to its doctrine of secession, which we have always considered treason? I am unwilling to do it and I think the conservatives of this State are. Can we get any Republicon States? The combinations with Democracy lo defeat thera.d rives them away tili farther from us; and they will cot be likely to reward us for it with, their votes, unless we make terms with them. What terms? Nobody can tell. So that the plain proposition submitted to ub is that we must go to the House to elect Mr. Bell by the votes of sectional men, and our Kentucky friends think that they had rather he should be elected by the aid of Southern sectionalista." Do they not see it exactly from their stand point, to prefer an alliance with. Northern IsectionalistsT Ibere lies the danger; for these things but tend to keep open the wounds which are already bleeding; wherear, our plain course of duty is to stand our ground firmly and eschewing all alliances with either party, let either come to us. without bargain or barter, and thus let the world see that the integrity of our motives and the conservatism of our principles have been vindicated. It is impossible tor me to pursue this matter farther. I did not see the addiessof our Kentucky friends until last night, have this morning written a . . . nearly every wora ot mis communication while ridinz on the, cars,, and am, as I write these 1 ast .aentancea getting ready to step upon another tram, iiut l couia not omit saying what I have because of my anxiety to see the integrity of our party rmly maintained.- .
