A recent number of the Albany Argus, the leading Democratic paper in New. York, refer ' ring to the crisis ::ito which the Democracy of the country has been forced by the action of the I seceders at Baltimore, makes' the following re marks, which are worthy of the-'coirsideration of every Democratic voter: "For many veais the heat and burden of sus i taming the Democratic side of the issue in our national political conflicts has fallen upon the i Democrats of the North. In all the fierce cou -1 tests connected with the subject of slavery we of the Northern Democracy have stood in the : thickest part ofthe fighl, and received the brunt I ofthe onslaught, and defended at many sacrifi ces the constitutional lights of our Soutnern ! biethren. By our devotion to their interests, as involved in the political issues of the day, we have lost the power and patronage of our Sla'e governments, and been torn under the harrow of Republicanism "We have met these reverses cheerfully, and borne up manfully and bravely in a contest full of the gravest discouragements, and involving self-denying, persistent and exhausting labors. Weolthe Nurrhern Democracy believed that, j in thus standing shoulder to shoulder with Sou thern Democrats we upheld the constitution and battled for rights secured to them by that instrument. So long as our Southern friends tonly demanded what th constitution concedes Northern Democrats were piepared to eucoun ■ ter every peiil and common cause with them. We were ready to lace even the cannon's mouth to secure for them perfect equality of rights with us, both of person and property, in every part of the jurisdiction ol the Union. '•But, in an evil houi,our Southern "brethren ' have refused to b" content with mere ecjuality. They made an lir practible issue—one at which the manhood and self-es|ect of the North revolts, [They demand that the Federal government shall assume the special occupation of watch ; ing their negroes in the Territories. We are : willing that their property shall stand upon the same fooling, receive precisely the same prc- I tectiou, and surrounded in all respects by the same guarantees, as our own : but we are not willing to assume the special occupation of o verseers, and cast upon Congress the inviduous duly ol protecting slave property in enacting slave codes, while excluding ail other proper ty in the Territories from its guardianship, and while, indeed, no other properly demands its interpos tion. "Our Southern brethren have asked the Dem ocrats of the nation to go one slep too tar, and they deliberately, in National Convention as sembled, refused to take that step. For this refusal, a portion ol the ultra mn of the South have bolted—seceded from the National Con vention, and set up a disorganizing ticket, in opposition to the regular Democratic nominees. Of course this um easonable demand will meet with substantially no encouragement among the Democrats ot the North. They will act with nearly perfect unanimity in support ot the nom nees of the regular National Convention, and find themselves standing upon a platform, which will enable them now and hereafter, to fight i brave battle, and win success in their own lo calities, and to have power and position at home. '•The venue of the conflict is changed. The , struggle tar sell preservation and success ai home, under the pressure uf current national , issues, has been tiansferred from the .North to j the South. The eotire justice and reasonable- j nessofthe National Democratic platform of | non-intervention will command the approval and support ot moderate and conservative men at the South. Thoy will rally U|K>n it and the secedeis will have quite enough to do to take j care of themselves at home, and are very like- . ly in due time to have a better appreciation of ; i the trials which the Northern Democracy have , I for many years encountered." j I l ist Republican* and (lie Tariff.' We copy the following article on the tariff' , fiom the .New York Evening Post, the repre- , sentativeofa large bodv ot Republicans in New ; York, and second only to the Tribune in gen- | eral influence. , i The Post has repeatedly charged that the Republicans of the House did not vote their ; honest convi-tions by passing this bill, but were j' influenced entirely by policy. From tht course j of the Post, we may learn what would be the j action ol the Republicans on this question, if , they should h -come responsible for the legisla- j tion of Congress, and compelled to votp in ac- ! cot dance with their honest convictions. A late number cl this paper says : , "It is said that the Committee on Finance in : the Senate, to,whom was refetred the new Tar- i iff bill, comocly called Morrill's bill—a meas ure, we must say, almost as dssgraceful to its i author as the one called the English bill—have concluded to report it with a recommendation that it be postponed to the next session. This | is altogether the best thing that could be done i with it. To ask the Senate to vote upon it uo- : derstandiigly, at this late day of the session, is as absurd as to insist that a tyro in the langua ges shall learn to speak Greek in twenty-four | hours. So complicated and conlused is Morill's bill, such a jumble of specific and ad valorem duties, laying both on the same commodities; such a mass of disguised prohibitions, some ol ■ which must seriously affect our commerce, that no member ofthe Senate could vote for it with j a clear conscience, on the short notice that its advocates have given. *#***# "This bill, to which the name of Morrill, to his shame is attached, considered as a revenue j bill, is the merest deception in the world. It is Freedom of Thonght and Opinion. not meant as a revenue bill, it is simply a meas ured favoritism to a few classes of manufactu rer? and nothing rise. Those who expect to make money by it are try ing to force it through Con gress by talking about our empty treasury. A nottier class perceive in it what seems to them a dexterous electioneering measure, and favor it for that reason, and with this class we have as little favor a3 with the protectionists." These are unpleasant facts for the contempla '.Ju ot those Republican journals in Pennsyl vania who wish to make some political capital out of this question. Coming, as they do, Irom the leading organs of their party, they must ei ther cease to humbug the people, or expect to have their tricks made public. The t iilucky Lincoln. " As sure as the Devil looks over Lincoln," is a proverb popular in England, and it seems as it the unlucky Abiaham has been under the same supervision here. His good luck when he has any has been worse than his bad. He has always been an and has al most invariably been beaten. Tip tor Congress, the Democrats beat him. Up tor United Slates Senator, the Republicans rejected him. Stumping for the same honor, Douglas distanced him. He got into Congress in 1816, and so disgraced himselt that he had to go into retire ment for eight years in order to be torgotten. The Detioit Free Press savs ol this passage of his life: ° "When he took his seat in Congress the country was involved in war, and the brave and patriotic sous of the country were making the most heroic efforts to sustain the national arm in the interior ol the enemy's countrv, and this they continued to do until the close "of the war, and in the end conquerors, and more than conquerors notwithstanding all the ad verse powers which they had to contend. While they were doing this there was a portion of their countrymen at home who not only oppo sed them and sympathised with the enemy, but actually encouraged the Mexicans to resis tance. There were men at home who hoped and prayed the Mexicans would "welcome them with bloody hands to hospitable graves," and there were men who responded to the senti ment, and among them was Lincoln. "During the war George Ashmun, of .Massachusetts, the same who presided over the Chicago Convention, introduced resolutions into Congress declaring that the war with the Republic of Mexico was unconstitutional, unnecessary and unjust, and these resolutions received the prompt and ardent support ol Lincoln. It is now a matter of history that the opposition that was made to the war in the uited States but served to prolong and embit ter it in Mexico, l'he speeches that were ! made in support of such resolutions were promptly transferred to Mexico and published jin the newspapers, read at the head of the army, and otherwise ostentatiously displayed. ; These proceedings, to which Lincoln gave a { hearty concurrence, but served to encourage the common enemy, prolonged the war, and cost hundreds and thousands ot lives of volunteer soldiers who had Hocked to the field at the call of their country. It was lor this ; reason that Illinois rebuked him bv refusing j him a re-elec'ion, and it is for this reason, a j mong other*, that she has refused him any honors since, and it is for this reason, among others, that the people of the whole country will but confirm the decision ot his own State |in the coming contest. Americans want : somebody to rule over them who will not take I sides with the enemy, in the time of war, a gainst his own country." | From the Doyiestown Democrat. Tin* Plattortus. The platforms of Messrs. Lincoln and Breck inridge are the same in principle; toth denying to the people of a Territory the right of self government. Mr. Lincoln's friends sav : "No more slave States," making it a condition to be atiached to (heir admission as a State, that they shall not at any future t ; rr.e admit slavery. Look at the case of Texas when her annexation was ratified. She was a sovereign and indepen dent State, and not a Territory, belonging to tbe United States, therefore she was a free con tracting party. A solemn contract was enter ed into be.ween the contracting parties that when the territory should becc me settled it should be divided into four States, and be ad mitted into the Union with or without slavery as the people of each State might determine for themselves . but Mr. Lincoln and his friends say no contract of the kind has any binding force with us where slavery comes in question. The South conceded the right of legislat ion in the Territories, and therefore the legislation will be against any mote slave States. Mr. Breckinridge and his friends claim the right to legislate tor the Territories by Con gress incase they refuse to legislate or the le gislation is unfriendly to slavery thus depri ving the people of the right to legislate for them selves in their local affairs, subject to the Con stitution of the United States ; and they offer as a reason for their change of opinion since 1806, that the Supreme Court in the Dred Scott case, settled the question of Territorial legisla tion, upon the subject of slavery against tbe Territories. Mr. Reverdy Johnson, who ar gued the question for the South, says that the question of Territorial legislation was not be fore the Court, and therefore could not be de cided. The friends of Judge Douglas take the same ground that our fathers took in the Revolution, that the people are sovereign and the officers are servants and not masters ; that all power not delegated to the United States, nor forbid den to the States, is reserved to the States and to the people ; that the right to legislate lor pri vate propeitv in the Territories has not been granted to Congress. This is the first time that Congress has been asked to legislate for private property in the Territories. The people con tend that the same Legislature that legislates for * all other property, is competent to legislate for slavery also, and that will localize it and take the distracting question out of Congress. The Seceders' Platform. As we supposed would be the case, the sece ders in the free states are ashamed of their plat form, and some af their disunion organs even have the hardihood to deny its most important provisions. They 'Know it is odious to the Dem ocratic party, and therefore dare not advocate it. The seceding disunion Baltimore town meeting which nominated Breckinridge and Lane adopted the majority platform, which was voted down at Charleston. The third resolu tion ot this concern reads as follows: "RESOL VED, THAT rrrs THE DUTY OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO PROTECT, WHEN NECESSARY, THE RIGHTS OF PERSONS AND PROPERTY, ON THE HIGH SEAS, IN THE TERRITORIES, OR WHEREV OR ELSE ITS CONSTITUTION AL AUTHORITY EXTENDS." Now, some of the Breckinridge papers deny that the words "high seas," are in the platform, and charge that Democrats have altered, it to make it ob noxious. This is not true : the resolution above we copied from the Jeflersouian, West Chester, of July 7th 1860, which paper has the names of Breckinridge and Lane at its head ; and We suppose it knows the platform upon which its candidates stand. Besides, the resolution above stated, isjust as published in the majority plat form at Charleston. We hope atter this the seceders and their friends will come square np to the work, and not endeavor to shirk the re sponsibility oftheir principles. We ask every canaid man to tell us whether this protection "to persons and property on the high seas," can mean any thing else than the re-opening of the African slave trade? Is there a demand for protection to any other kind of property ? Are not goods in our vessels protected by the flag that covers them ? and therefore they want no leg'slation. Protection to property in the territories means a slave code to be made bv Congress, to compel the people to have slavery whether they want it or not. These things may be denied, but they are too glaring to be covered up by any sophistry.-Doy/esfout/i Hem. The Udhernatorial Contest We notice both in the Democratic journals of this State, and iu the proceedings of numer ous public meetings, that the most gratifying unity and enthusiasm is everywhere prevalent, especially with reference to Gen. H D. Foster, our able and gallant candidate for Governor. Whatever difference of opinion mav exist with regard to other matters, Gen. Foster is every where flailed as a worthy representative of Democratic doctrines ; and his high character, nobfe public record, and close indentification with all the great and essential interests of the State, are calling torth the most active and zeal ous effort! in our behalf. No man ha 3 ever passed the ordeal of active public service with more success and honor than has Gen. Foster ; and his gallantry in times of emergencv, and his strict devotion to Democratic principles, have justly endeared him to the Democracy of the whole State. For more (ban twenty years if hard work was to be done, Gen. Foster was '.he man to do it : and the steadfastness of Old Westmoreland is largely due to his able advo cacy of Democratic principles, his clear and ar gumentative reasoning and a high personal pop luarity which he has borne with the modesty of true greatness. Geo. Foster's record upon the Tariff while a member of the lower House of Congress, is en viable, and distinguished for sagacity and devo tion to the interests of his State. He was ever foremost in the recognition of enlightened views of government policy ; and the annexation of Texas, and the settlement ot the Oregon dispute, in 18+5 '46, found in him an able advocate of enlarged American ideas. He is eminently the man for the times, and we hail, as a matter of pride and gratification, the unbounded enthusi asm in his behalf now animating the Democra cy of the State, encouraging organization, and giving the brightest promises. There is no where lukevvarmness or lethargv. Dissensions are buried. The State is to be redeemed, and all minor differences are made to yield to that noble and patriotic purpose.— Pennsylvanian.

QF™Of all the mad schemes that ever could be devised by the South, or by the enemies of the South, that which recognizes the right of Congress to touch the institution of slavery, either in States or Territories, beyond the single case provided in th j Constitution for the rendi tion of fugitive slaves, is the most fataI.—STE PHEN A.

JOH.YSOJV. Sign* oi tlie Time#. The political heavens are lull of propitious signs. The .Nicholsonville (Ky.) Democrat , publish ed in Mr. Breckinridge's district, hoists the Douglas and Johnson flag and savs : It has ever been, and is now, our fixed and detei mined) purpose to support the man lor President who fairly and justly obtained tin nomination. While we admire and love Mr. Breckinridge, we cannot foresake the modicum of nationality that yet remains to the Demo cracy to promise his interest to the detriment ot that party whose recent rupture has cast whom; \I HBEK, 2912. f such a gloom over our land and nation. We love the Union. We will never knowingly ! take a pog,|,on which will array one section ,of the L n ,on against another. "Mr. Breckin ridge did not receive the vote of Kentucky in : Convention, and he will not receive it in No vember next. If he accepts the nomination ; from the handful of delegates who seceded at Baltimore, it will militate against the success ot Air. Douglas, while it ensures his own overwhlming defeat. At a time like the pres ent, when the greatest harmony is needed to insure success, it is suicidal to attempt a victo ! ry with a divided front. Ilfrschel V. Johnson. I The Baltimore Patriot, an opposition journal, I refers to Mr. Johnson, the candidate for Vice President on the Douglas ticket, in the follow ing terms : j We know the gentleman personally, and we are free to say that, though not his political | friend, he has our most cordial sympathies in the work of redeeming the South from the tyranny o( that intolerable public opinion which a few hotspurs nave managed to impose I upon as noble a people as ever the sun shone upon And there is no man in the whole South, politics apart, whom we would sooner see, not only Vice President but President of the United States. He is one of our soundest and most reliable statesmen. MR. BRECKINRIDGE THE VAN BUREN OF THE SOUTH.— Mr. Breckinridge, by accepting the nomination of theseceders, placed himself in a position similar to that assumed by Mr. Van Buren, in 184S—wilh this difference only, that the Van Buren movement had not disunion in view. Both put themselves at war with the Democratic party upon slavery abstractions— the one Free Soil, and northern; the other x territorial slave-code, and southern. The Dem ocratic party withstood the shock of the Van Buren conspiracy against it, and politically an nihilated the conspirators ; and will withstand the Breckinridge and annihilate the traitors engaged in it,just as it did the for mer. The deadest man. politically speaking, in the United States is Martin Van Buren .—let Mr. Breckinridge take heed of his fate and withdraw before it is too late, if he would escape a like doom.—A vast proportion of the adherents of Mr. Van Buren are now found mustering in (he ranks of the Republican patty ; —let the follow ers of Mr. Breckinridge, by theii example, take warning ol where they are drifting, before it is impossible to turn back.— Lycoming Gazette. NICELY CAUGHT. —One of the Wisconsin lob by at the Chicago Convention, anxious to see the show from the gallery of the Wigwam, tried to pass the doorkeeper, when he was told that no gentleman could enter unless accompanied by a lady. Not to be bluffed, he waited the entrance ot an apple woman, and undertook to pass himself under her protection. The door keeper told him that dodge had been "plaved out" at an early stage of the game. Back went our persevering Iriend and waited until the impracticable doorkeeper had time to lorget him, and then, closely following a remarkably well dressed temale, he tightly grasped her shawl, and for the third time presented himself for admittance. "Hold on, sir ' you can't go in," said the doorkeeper. "Well, then ; let mv wile come out; I am not going to trust her in there among all those ruffians I" indignantly exclaimed our Iriend. "Is that your wife ?" asked the guardian of the Wigwam. "Well, it is !" said the gentleman from Wis consin. The doorkeeper turned the well dressed fe male around, and exhibited to the horrified gaze of our friend, the repulsive lineaments of a greasy nigger wench.
