from the slaveholder! in Missouri, and that the livery stables were then filled with stolen hor ses, and yet the conspiracy to do it could not be punished. Sir, I desire a law that will mak- it a crim", punishable by imprisonment in tfle penitentia ry, after conviction in the United States court, to make a conspiracy in one State, against the people, property, government, or institution*, of another. Then we shall get at the root of the evii. I have no doubt that gentlemen on the ovb*T side will vote for a law which pre tends to comply with the guarantees of the C<-n --atitution, without carrying any iorce or efficien cy in it! provisions. I have heard men abu-e the fugitive slave law, and express their wil lingness to vote for amendments; but when you came to the amendments which they desired to adopt, you found they were such as would nev er reiurn a fugitive to his master. 1 hey would \ go lor anv fugitive slave law Miat had a hole in it big enough to let the negro crop through and i escape ; but* none that would comply with the obligations of the Constitution. So we shall side ot the Chamber voting for a law that will, in term?, disapprove of unlawful ex peditions against neighboring States, without being efficient in afiording protection. But the Senator says it is a part ot the policy of the northern Democracy to represent the Re publicans as being hostile to southern institu tions. Sir, it is a part of the policy of the nor thern Democracy, as well as their duty, to speak the truth on that subject. I do not sup pose that any man would have the audacity to arraign a brother Senator here tar representing the Republican part}' as dealing in denunciation and insult of the institutions of the South. Look to your Piiiladelphia'nlatform, where you assert the sovereign power ot Congress over the Territories for their government, and demand that it shall be exerted against those twin re lics of barbarism—polygamy and slavery,. Mr. FCSSENDEN. Let me suggest to the Sen ator that he is entirely changing the issue be tween hirn and me. I did not desire to say, and did not say, that the Republicans of the North were not urilriendiy to the institution of l slavery. I admitted myself that 1 was ; t trust j they all are. It is not in that respect that I ac- j cuse the Democracy of the North of misrepre- ; tenting the position ol the Republican party. : It was in representing that they desired to in- : terfere with the institution in the southern States. That i= the ground—that thpy wen opposed to southern rights. That they do not think well of slavery as it exists in this country,! Ido not undertake to deny. Jdo not know that southern gentlemen expect lis to be friend- J Jy to it. 1 apprehend that they would not : think very well of us if va pretended to be ; friendly to it. If we were friendly to the in stitution, we should try to adopt, we certainly j should not oppose it; but what I charged upon j the northern Democracy was, that they misrep- ] resented our position. That we were opposed j to the extension of slavery over free territory, i that we called it a relic of barbarism, I admit ; i but I do deny that the Republican party, or the j Republicans generally, have ever exhibited a desire or made a movement towards interfering i with the right of southern men, the States, or, any constitutional rights that they have any- I where. That is the charge I made. Mr. DOUGLAS. Mr. President, for what | purpose does the Republican party appeal to i northern passions and northern prejudices a gainst southern institutions and the southern people, uniess it is to operate upon those insti- ! tutions ? They represent southern institutions j as no better than polygamy ; the slaveholder as no better than the poly gamist; and complain that we should intimat° that they did not like | to associate with the slaveholder any better than , with the polygamist. lean see a monstrous' lowering ot the flag <n the Senator's speech and ! explanation. I would respect the concession, | if the fact wa9 acknowledged. This thing of i shrinking from a position tliat every northern ( man knows to be true, and arraigning men for ; slander for telling the truth to them— Mr. FESSENDEN. I know it to not be true. Mr. DOUGLAS. YOU may know it down in Maine, but you do not know it in Illinois. I bave always noted that those men who were so far off from the slave States that they did not know anything about them, are most anxious for the fate of the poor slave. Those men who are so tar OIT that they do not know what a negro is, are distressed to death about the condition of the poor negro. (Laughter.) But, sir, go into Ihe border States, where we associate across the line, where the civilities of society are constant ly interchanged where wejtrade with eachjother, and have social and commercial intercourse, and there you will find their, standing bv each other like a band ol brothers. Take southern Illinois, southern Indiana, southern Ohio, and mat part ot Pennsylvania bordering on Mary land, and there you will find social intercourse; commercial intercourse ; good feeling ; because those people know the condition of the slave on ■the opposite side of the line ; but just in propor tion as you recede from the slave States, just in that proportion party leaders can impose on their sympathies and honest prejudices. Sir, I know it is the habit of th<> Republican party, wherever I have met them, to make the warfare in such away as to try to rally the whole North on sectional grounds against the South. I know that is to be the issue, and it is proven bv the speech of the Senator from New York, which I quoted before, and that of Mr. Lincoln, so far as they are autboritj-. I hap pen to have those speeches before me. The Senator from Maine has said that neither of these speeches justified the conclusion that they asserted, that the free States and the slave States cannot coexist permanently in the same Republic. Let ti see whether they do or not : Mr. Lincoln savs: "A house divided against itself cannot stand. 1 believe this Government cannot endure per manently, hail slave and half f ret*." Then he goes on to say they must all be one thing or all the o'her , or else the Union can not endure. Wha! is the meaning of that lan guage, unless it is that the Union ran not per manently exist, half slave and half free that it must a!) become cnp tiling or ail heroine the o ther * That is the declaration. Tr.e declara tion is that the North must combine as a sec tional party, and carry on the agitation so fiercely, up to tile vet y borders of the slaveboi ding States, that the master dare not sieep at i night for fear that th- rubbers, the John Browns, will comeßnd set his house on fire, and murder the women and children, betore morning. Ii j is to surround the slaveholding States bv a cor-; don of free States, to use the language ol th Seoator; to hem bem in, in order that you may em other them out. The Senator avowed, in f>i> speech to-day, their object to be to hem in the slave State*, in order that slavery may die out How die out? Confine it to its present liuortt, to ths ret of increase go oo bv the i laws of nature; 3r>.| just i:i proportion as the lands in the jbaveh'iding Sta'es wear out, the I negroes increase, .trrl v>u will soon reach that point where t.'ie ■> <ll will not produce enough to feed the staves ; then hem in, and let them starve on: let them die out by starvation. That is the policy hem them in, and starve them out. D< as the French did in Algeria, when tile Arabs took to the caverns—smoke them <>ut. f>v making fires at the mouths of the caverns, and keep thern burning until they die. I'iie policy is. to keep up this agitation along the IIIIP ; make slave property insecure in the . border States; keep the master constantly in ! appreb-nsion of assault, tiii he will consent to abandon ht native country, leaving his slaves behind him, or to remove them further South, ft you ran force Kentucky thus to abolish sla very, yon make Tennessee the border Stale, and | begin the same operation upon her. | But, sir, let us see whether the Senator from I New \ rk d:d no! proclaim the doctrine that j tree Slates and slaw Slates cannot permanently j exist in t'ne same Republic. He said : •'lt is an irrepressible conflict between op [lo sing and endurmg forces ; and it means that the United States must and will, sooner or later, become either entirely a slavt-holding nation or entirely a free-labor nation." The opposing conflict is between the Stafps : j tile Union cannot remain as it now is, part free ; and part slave. The conflict between tree ! Stales and slave States must go on until there j is not a slave State left, or until they are ail | slave States. That is the declaration of the | Senator liom New York. The Senator from | Maine tried to make the Senate believe that 1 | had misrepresented the Senator from New York ! and Mr. Lincoln, of Illinois, in stating that they . referred to a conflict between States. He said : that ali they meant was that it was a conflict ! between tree labor and slave labor in the same | State. Now, sir, let me submit to that man's ! candor whether he will insist on that position, i They both say the contest will go on until the : States become all fiee or slave. Then, when is the contest going to end ? When thev be : come all slave? Will there not be the same j conflict between free labor and slave labor, alter j every State has become a slave State, that there ;is now? If that was the meaning, would the I conflict between slave labor and frpe labor cease j even when every State had become slaveliol j ding? Have not all the slaveholdir.g States a large number of free laborers within their limits j and if there is an irrepressible conflict between ; free labor and slave labor, will you remove that ; conflict by making the Stales all slave ? Yet, I the Senator from New Y 7 ork says they must be come all slave or ail free before the conflict ceases. Sir, that shows that th Senator from New York meant what I represented him as meaning. It shows that a man who knows the meaning of words, and has the heart to express them as they read, cannot fail to know that that was the meaning of those Senators. The boldness with which a charge of misrepresenta tion may be made in this body will not give character to it when it is contradicted by the facts. I dislike to have to repel these charges of unfairness and misrepresentation; yet the Senator began with a series of inuendos, with a j series of complaints misrepresentation, showing ■ that he was afraid to meet the r-ai issues of his j party, and would make up for that by person- j a! assaults and inuendos against the opposite j party. He goes back to a speech of mine in oppo sition to the Lecompton constitution, in which I said that if you would send that constitution back and let the people of Kansas vote tor or a gamst it, if they voted for a free State or a slave State I would go for it without caring whether they voted slavery up or down. He thinks it is a'great charge against me that I do not care whether the people vote it up or vote it down. Mr. FESSENDEN. The Senator is mistaken as to the speech to which J referred. It was one of his speeches made on his southern tour, that I referred to. Mr. DOUGLAS. The idea is taken from a speech iu the Senate—the first speech I made against the Lecompton constitution. It was quoted all over Illinois by Mr. Lincoln in the canvass, and I repeated the sentiment each time it was quoted against me, and repeated it in the South as well a-- the North. I say this: if the people of Kansas want a slave State, it is th-ir business aud not mine; if they want a Iree State, they have a right to have it ; and hence, J do not care, so far as regards inv action, whether they make it a free State or not; it is none cf my business. But the Senator says he does care, he has a preference between freedom and slavery. How long would this preference last if he was a sugar planter in Louisiana, re sidmg on hi estate, instead of living in Maine? Sir, I hold the doctrine that a wise statesman will adapt iiis laws to the wants, conditions, and interests of the people to be governed bv them. Slavery may be very essential in one climate and totally useless in another. If I were a ciuzen of Louisiana I wouid vote for retaining and maintaining slavery, because I believe the good of that people would require it. As a citizen of Illinois I am utterly opposed to it, be cause our interests would not be promoted by it. I should like to see the Abolitionist who would go and live in a southern country that wouid not get over his scruples very soon and have a plantation as quickly as he could get the money to buy it. I have said and repeat that this question of slavery is one of climate, of political economy, ofseif-mterest, not a question of legislation. Wherever the ciiinate, the soil, the health of the ! countrv are such that it cannot be cultivated by white labor, you will have African labor, and compulsory labor at that. Wherever white labor can be employed cheapest and most profi tably, there African labor will retire and white labor will take its plac-. You cannot force slavery by all the acts of Congress you may lake, on one inch of territo ry against the will of the people, and you can not by any law you can make, keep it out from one inch of American territory where the peo-' file want it. You trie !U in jlliiiois. By the ordinance of 1757, sbverv *as prohibited, and yet our people, believing that slavery would be profitable to them, established hereditary servi tude in the Territory by territorial legislation in defiance of our Federal ordinance. We maintained slavery there just so long as Con gress said we should not have it, and we abol ished if at just the moment you recognized us a State, with the right to do as we pleased When we established it, it was on the supposi tion that it was oui int-rest to do so. When we abolished it, we did so b"Cause experience proved that it was not our interest to have it. I hold that slavery is a question of political e conomy, to be determined by climate, by soil, by production, by seif-interest, [and hence the people to be affected by it are the most impar tial jury to try the tact whether tbeir interest require* tbem fo have it or not. ! But the Senator ahinks it is a great crime for | me to say that I do not care whether they have {it or not. I care just this far : I want every i people to have that kind of Government, that system of laws, that class of institutions, which j will best promote their welfare, and I want them to decide lor themselves ; and so that they decide it to suit themselves, I am satisfied, with out stopping to inquire or caring which way they decide it. That is what I meant by that (declaration, and I am ready to stand by it. The Senator has made the discovery—l sup j pose it is very new, for he would not repeat i anything that was old, after calling me to ac count lor expressing an idea that had been | heard of before—that I re-opened the agitation by bringing in the .Nebraska bill in 185-J. ; and | lie tries to out the responsibility of *ihe crimes perpetrated bv his political friends, and in vio i lation ol the law. upon the provisions of the ! law itself. VVe passed a bill to allow the peo j pie ol Kansas to form and regulate their own I institutions to suit themselves. No sooner had I we placed that law on the statute-book than his j political friends formed conspiracies and combi nations in 'lie different New England States to ' import a set of desperadoes into Kansas to con- I trol the elections and the institutions of that ! country in fraud ol the law ot Congress. Sir, I desire to make the legislation broad enough to reach conspiracies and combinations :of that kind : and I would also include combi ! nations and conspiracies on the other side. My object is to establish firmly the doctrine that each State is to Jo its own voting, establish its own institutions, matte its own laws without io- I terference, directly or indirectly, from any s*il ! 9ide power. The gentleman says that is squat i ter sovereignty. Call it squatter sovereignty, ; call it popular sovereignty, call it what you ' please, it is the great principle of self-govern- I ment on which this Union was formed, and by | the preservation of which alone it can be rnam ; lained. It is the right of thejpeople of every ! State to govern themselves and make their own ! laws, and be protected from outside violence or j interference, directly or indirectly. Sir, i con : less the object of the legislation I contemplate i is to put down this outside interference ; it is j to repress tins "irrepressible conflict it is to j bring the Government back to the true princi i pies of the Constitution, and let each people in i this Union rest secjure ia the enjoyment of do ; mestic tranquility without apprehension from j neighboring States. I will not occupy further time. BEDFORD GAZETTE. Bed lord, April 13, 1860. B. ?. Meyers, Editor and Proprietor. FOR GOVERNOR: fiI'ENRY D. FOSTER, OP WESTMORELAND COCNTY.

Their object in ma king this outcry for a Tariff, is simply to hood wink voters ; nothing more, nothing less.— Their abandonment of the principle of the Tariff of'l2, (<o ably advocated by HENRY D. FOS TER,) their support ol DAVID WILMOT, for Governor, a man whom they had denounced as a "British Free Trade Tory," and the reduction of the Tariff of '46 by their party in the Banks Congress, would alone suffice to fix upon Ihem the charge of insincerity. But if further proofs are wanted, the action of the present Opposition Congress and the conduct of the Opposition members of the late State Senate, are sufficient to convince any reasonable man that they (the politicians of the Opposition) are not true friends of an increase of the Tariff.— Congress has been in session over four months, and yet the first effort to pass the Tariff bill was made but a few days ago. To have heard the Opposition prate about the Tariff, before the last Congressional elections came off, one would have supposed that that would be the very first subject of legislation by Congress, if they ob tained control of that body. But no. The spoils were more precious in their eyes than the Tariff or Pennsylvania Coal and Iron.— They must first dispose of the "public and then,* thought they, it will be time enough to attend to the wants of Pennsylvania. And now, the rumor is that the Massachusetts "Re publicans" will oppose an increase of the Tariff. Such is the Congressional aspect of Opposition friendship for the interests of Pennsylvania. When we come nearer home, we find the Opposition members of our State Legislature, ail professedly Tariff men, doing all in their power to retard the passage ola higher Tariff. Under the pretence of recommending such a Tariff", they strive to kill it, by making a low j fling at President Buchanan, the cohsistent and life-long advocate of specific duties. Bv doing this they hope to drive off* Democratic Con gressmen from the support of the Tariff" Bill, so as to cnabl" them to raise another hue-and cry against the Democracy. Thev want the ' Tariff* question for future U9e. They want it for pabulum lor the "Woolly Horse," during the coming Presidential contest. In the State Senate the resolutions on the Tariff, took the j naked shape ol hatred of the President. After I having slept in Committee, during the whole session, they were called up shortly before the adjournment. These resolutions contain a clause charging the President with hypocrisy in his views on the Tariff, and this clause was all that the Opposition Senators carpd anything about, as is proven by their voting down the substitute offered by Mr.. SCHELL, for which they had voted unanimously one year ago, and which is a strong recommendation ol an in crease of the Tariff". Every Opposition Senator voted for the resolution) offered by MR. SCHELL, 1 when they were betote the Senate in 1859. j Now every Opposition Senator votes against those resolutions, thus reversing their oosition one year ago and virtually voting' against an increase of the Tariff. Thev can vote for Tar iff resolutions only when they contain ujhnz jat the President. Such is Opposition con ! slstency on the Tariff question.! The following is Mr. Scliell's substitute, for which ail the Opposition Senators voted last j year, but against which they all voted this J year : j WHEREAS, The experience of the past and j present most fully demonstrate that it is a wise j and beneficient policy ot the General Govern -1 ment which dictates the imposition of duties on such products of foreign nations as comejn such | direct contact with those of our own country, ; as to injure and prostrate the trade of our own j | soil, and tmongour own citizens. The artizans and laborers in many depart | :nen!s ol trade are compelled to abandon their ; accustomed pursuits—especially do our own ! coal and iron interests suffer : therefore, | Resolved by the Senate and House of Repre ! sentatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvi ! nia, in General .Assembly met , That our Sena | tors in Congress be instructed, and our Repre- I sentatives requested, to labor for the passage (at | the present session) of such an act as will not ; only tend to increase the revenue by the tmpo j sition of duties, but afford'ample encouragement to all the interests of the country, injured by the productions of the cheap labor of other nations: but more especially to urge an increase of du | ties on coal and iron, in which a portion of our j own people are deeply interested. Resolved , That the views of the President ex pressed in his late message in reference to the advantage of definite or speci fic duties over ad valorem duties, as more uniform, less liable to frauds, and affording the most certain and uni form amount of revenue, meet our heaity ap probation. Resolved, That the Governor be requested to forward to tach of our Senators and Mem bers of Congress, a copy of the above preamble and resolutions, informing them of their adop tion. Crotr, chanticleer, crow loud aod lentf! The Right has Triumphed over Wrong i The spring crop of Black Republicanism has entirely failed. Our exchanges are lined with accounts of brilliant Democratic victories.— ! First on the list is the "land of steady habits,'*" GLORIOUS CONNECTICUT, in which, according to thp last accounts, the Black Repubhca n candidate for Governor has only about 500 majority, a Democratic gain ol over 9,000 since 1856, when Fremont and Fillmore combined, had upwards of 10,000 majority over Buchanan. This is a mora! victory for the Democrats and will enable them to carry the State in the fall. Next comes GALLANT RHODE ISLAND! In which WILLIAM SPRAGUE, the candidate of the Democrats, is elected Gover nor, by 1500 majority over Seth Padtlford, "Republican." The Legislature of this State, is also largely against the "Republicans."— Rhode Island has given us a victory unparal lelled in ail the annals of political triumphs.— For seven years she ha 3 steadily and largely voted with our opponents. In 1856, her vote stood for Buchanan 6,680; for Fremont, 11,- t67, giving Fremont a majority of nearly 5000; whilst last year the "Republican" majority, was 5392! Thus, it will be se||, that the erewhile solid phalanx of New England "Republicanism," is broken. Rhode Island and Connecticut will never again cast their ten electoral votes for a sectional candidate.— For this auspicious result, we have to thank the conservative men of these states, who magnani mously buried' former party affinities, and like the glorious Old Line Whigs of 1856, enlisted under the banners oi the Democracy. AII hon or to them for their noble conduct ! Of the town and city elections that have re cently taken place, nioe out of ten, have resul ted in favor of the Democracy. We append accounts of some of them. IN CINCINNATI, the Democrats have made a clean sweep, electing their whole city ticket, by from 600 to 700 majority. The "Republi can" majorities in 1858 and 1859, iri this city, were 2000. Democratic gain, 2600 ! Is MILWACKCE, Wisconsin, IHE Democratic Mayor is elected by 1000 majority. IN ELMIRA, N. Y., the entire Democratic . ticket is elected. IN BROOKLYN, the Democrats have succeeded by a vote ol two to one. IN ROME, CATSKILL and SCHENECTADY, for merly "Republican" towns, the Democrats have carried their tickets, with the exception of the Mayor in the last named. IN KENOSHA, Wisconsin, and Freeport, Illi nois, the Democrats are successful. IN PORTLAND, (hitherto largply "Republi can'*) Warren, Searsmont, AppMon (hit tier to "Republican") Gorham (last year "Republi can") and Buxton (last year "Republican") towns in Maine, the Democrats have elected their nominees. IN CAMDEN, N. J., (formerly largely Opposi tion) '.he Democrats have elected the Mayor. IN CARLISLE, which last year gave a consid erable "Republican" majority, the Democracy are victorious. IN CONNELLSVIILE, the Democrats have elec ted their ticket by an average vote of 75 to 35. ' Local and Miscellaneous. —We publish in this issue the speech of Sena tor Douglas, on the subject of the Harper's Fer ry invasion.

As to our receiving a letter from said Oldham, desiring us to withdraw our char ges against him, that is an unqualified falsehood, no such letter having ever reached ns. —The Abolition organ endeavors to figure ! up gains for its party in this county. In our | table of week before last, we gave the official i vote, whichjmade the Democratic majority 78 : more than it was, on an average, last fall.— | Our Abolition friends shun the official tables, j and give tlieir own estimates. As an instance ! of their incorrectness, they say that the Oppo tion candidate for Judge was elected in Napier township by 4 votes ; whilst the official returns show that the Democratic candidate was elec ted by 6 votes. This is a base Mander on the Democrats of Old Napier and will but incite them to renewed energy during the coming contest. —Heavy rains have fallen in this neighbor hood, during the last week, swelling the waters far beyond their usual bounds.

J —-The bill for the sale of the Poor House, published in our paptr some time ago, has passed both houses of the Legislature, having, however, been amended so as to require the Commissioners to sell, to be appointed bv the Court, the sale to be public and subject to the approval of the Court, the clauses of limitation as to the distance of the location ol the new Poor House, from the Borough and the Turn pike, having been stricken out. The bond of the Commissioners is also to be subject to the approval of the Court, or ajudge thereof. Hon. IVm. H. Bissell, Governor of Illinois, died a few weeks since, after a protracted ill ness.

His record !on the Tariff question, as well as every other | question affecting the interests of Pennsylvania and the Union, merits our entire approval and I should receive the heart) endorsement ol every | right-minded and patriotic citizen. We pledge ! ourselves fo use every honorable effort to p ro . mote his election, and beg leave to assure 'our Democratic brethren elsewherejthat Old Bedford will do her whole duty by "Harry of the Resolved, fliat wp cordially approve of the proceedings of the late Democratic State Con vention at Reading, and especially do we com mend the platform of principles adopted by that body, believing them to be eminently sound, conservative and just. Resolved , that the result ol the recent elec tions in Connecticut and Rhode Island, demon strates most empnatically that the sectional and fanatical dogmas of the so-called "Republi can party, are becoming decidedly unpopular and that the prospects of the Democracy are growing brighter day bv dav. Resolved , that we have undiminished con fidence in the administration of JAMES BU CHAiiA.N, and that the persistent effort of vindicitive partisans and disappointed office seekers, to blacken the character of our venera ble Chief Magistrate, for the purpose of making political capital against the Democratic p-arty, is too transparent a humbug to mislead any reflecting tr.md, and we look upon it as p. shanou trick of the shallowest of demagogues. THE RHODE ISLAND ELECTION. Triumph of (he l>raicracy—Election of Mr, Sprague as Governor. Alter one of the most exciting contests ever known in Rhode Island, Col. Wit. Sprague, the candidate of the Democracy and the Union men. has been elected Governor by & majority of 1,500. This splendid victory shows an astonishing revolution in sentiment when we consider that the Republicans carried the State last year by 5,392 majority. Follow ing] immediately alter the great Democratic gains in Connecticut, nothing could be more cheering to the Democracy of the Union.— Connecticut shook the solid phalanx of Republi can Slates in New England, but Rhode island has broken it. Glorious Rhode Island ! She is nothing more than a small stripling, but she has gone to battle with the Republican Giant and slain it. Thus, on the very threshold of (he Presiden tial con'est, hav® the Republicans sustained ft serious repulse in two States heretofore counted as certain for the Republican candidate for President. ihe majority ia Connecticut, dwindled down from thousands to a few hon ; dred, carries alarm instead of encouragement into the Republican camp.
