We have no desire to be tin fair, and, therefore, publish it most cheerfully. We shall, however, take the liberty to correct a few "grcss misrepresentations" ci Judge Doug las'opinions and conduct, made n the atticle. Before doing this, we shall premise that 'he ai- , title is frotn '.he Philadelphia Penntylonnim, a riper that refused to support Mr. Breckinridge until bought up by Mr. BRIMM.U, an oiiice-i .1- aie ut th- Main Line of the Public Works, the Pennsutwiniaa W33 found at rayed on the side ol the aw mdlers and jobbers that bribed tiiat infamous biil through the Legislature. Or this the I'tnnsylvuniih was denounced and repudiated in (tie Democrat ic State Convention of 1857. Nor lias it Lad any influence since then. Philadelphia was ! that year a Democratic city, and ever sine-" it has given its thousand, of Oup iyi ton majority, i The Democracy of Philadelphia have repudia ted it. Their late Ct'v Convention war com - posed ol till! d"iegates, 158 o! whom were fot Stephen A. Douglas and only hi foi John t. The charge i made against Yancey, Rhctt, Davis, Brown, Iverson, fxeitt, and otheis, who are the leaders and foster-fathers of the Breckin ridge movement. Mr. Breckinridge is i:\ their hands. Should he succeed it gives fUetn encouragement in their diabolical schemes Everybody knows that Yancey is a disunion is!. Why ei>n m fas endorsement of Breckinridge's nomination, he said lie was "neither fur noj against the Union." The si'ne is (rue of three-fourths of the inridge leaders iri the South. They belong to tt eSecessionists put down by Old Hickory in the tunes of Nullification, and routed by Clay, B ebsler, Douglas, Foote and other patriots in the memorable struggle of 1850. It is not Mr. " r -ckinridge that is attacked, but the cause, the object, of the leaders who have put him for ward. DIE Pennsylianian asks, "WHEN and where C'D Mr. Breckinridge ever express the opinion '"AT Congress should intervene for thp esfab- LI'THMENT of slavery TO the Territories ?" We csa inform that journal. Mr. BRECKINRIDGE I Jp I 'ook ground in favor of Congressional Inier venii-.n fir tl.e pnilcction (or estaolishment) ol •of slavery ill the Territories, in his speech at Frankfort, Kentucky, on the Cist of December, V\'.' copy the following extract from that speech as published in the Washington Constitution of J in. 7th, 1860, the heading be ihe ConJitution's o*vn : SUAVE CODE. I: present remedies are adequate to sustain these decisions, ,I would have nothing mor done, f, with many other public men in the country, believe they .ne able! It they are not —-if they cannot he en forced for want of the I proper legislation to enforce them—suiiicient ' legislation must he passsed,or our government ! t isa failure.

[Ajip ause. j I wiii add this :we must ever give up the piinciple : we must n-ver 1 give up (tie question that has been judicially ! d-nded, that this constitutional light exists.— We must stand by that decision. We a.,.,; hold t-. our constitutional rights ; but I wouf.l never ' p ••natur-ly laise (he question u> distract the 1 <:ounry, > arn '.wre is n ; v. ice calling for it, North, Lis', South or West, [rippiause.j 1 , say we must ii-otd to the principle; we must 1 stand by it ; V. e stand in a good position.— We have the Executive; we Lav- the laws; we have the decisions of the ccrtirts, and tnat is 1 I great advance from where v.'e stood ten vears i ago. At the time of Mr. Breckinridge's speech, ( i iere was no demand from the South for (.'.jr.- I gres.-i;>r.al intervention. Shortly afterwards, however, Senator Brown of Mississippi, hajckeJ. , by other introduced a ! iH in the T . S. Seriate providing n si iv.- code lor j the rerriiories. Mr. Breckinridge's i f.ien.ls in the South, have since said that the ', time has come when such legislation mint ne ! ijt i ■ t —g,---, t> i interfere v\ ti!■ -i.tverv in tie* " rritori-an ; ■ iv< mat t ins rig tit must mt be > h ren -red ! lim Democratic Partv, on tim 'tier ham), fi.> i aiivavs deemd 'hat Congress ti is me light or Itie i power to meddle wiih slavery in ttie I'erritories. | It has always held '.hat that question belonged ; io it.e people (d the territories and not to Cull i gress. J heivfore, Mr. Breckinridge is an In terventionist for i.iv-rv. jo-t as S--ward is an Interventionist -iga.nst it. D-*;tv this, who can. Besides the Breckinridge Platform commits its ( endorsers to the doctrine that every branch o! the U.-neidl G.i-einment (C-Jtigrejs one of them) shall interfere tor the protection of slavery in the Territories. We have no horror of ne-'io I slavery. As to the morality of the institution, ( we have nothing to ay. But we have a holy i horror of the agitation of the subject by Con i gress. and, therefore, cannot agree to # Mr. Breck- f inridge's doctrine. The Pennsyivaniaa's arfi- '. | cle is as follows: , j Judge Douglas and Ins friends are making ' strong and persistent efforts to convince the peo- , pie that Mr. Breckinridge is, first, the Disunion j j candidate, and, secondly, the exponent of the j doctrine of Congressional intervention for the' ! es a jlishmeiit of slavery in the Territories. Nothing is more destitute of truth |p ;in of ti.e-e proposition.-, and none know this better 1 than those who make the charges. No act or word of Mr. Breckinridge, indica ting disunion sentiments, has be-n, or can b< pointed out. Indeed, tiie last speech he made, which was . The ; strongest characteristic, of that -p-tch, is its ! calm and dignified d-uunciations of those had ; i men ami fanatics, who aim at the disinernbei-i ■; ment of this confederacy. In l -uguage uf fer vid and majestic eloquence he de; i n, s the dan- i j gers which they have brought upon the country j and appeals to all good ami true men to unite in j a common effort to frustrate their designs, arid j to preserve in their integri'y the Constitution ami the Uuioo. But in a lew .lays, h - himself, ] : pressed to the wall by his enemies, leientle.-sly ; | pursued by base detraction and malignant asper- ] will make, before the American people, a vin- i dication of himself, that will forever set at rest j this most wanton and unfounded accusa- ( lion. , i The second charge, idee the firs', is without; the shadow ol truth. When and where did Mr. B.ec'iinridge ever - express the opinion that Congress should inter -1 vene for the establishment ol slavery in the j Territories ? We defy ins enemies to answer. I On the subject of slavery in the Territories, he '■ holds that doctrine which is common to ail good Democrats, North and South—the doctrine of BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAY MOWING, SEPTEMBER 11,1860. I non-intervention. We know of but one prom i ioent politcian who advocates intervention fur the establishment of slavery in the Territories, ami that is Senator Brown of Mississippi. Si different are Mr. Breckinridge's opinions on this point from Senator Brown's, that it has been thought the Mississippi Senator would wjlhold from'his support. It is only very re-' cently that he has published a letter, in which he finds fault with Mi. Breckinridge f„r i it maintaining this doctrine of intervention. He *iys that this constitutes, rn his mind, an nelec tion to our candidate, but that he wit! su-tam him on account of the geij.-ral coincidence of opinions t.-t ween tiie.n on other subject-.. rbis charge that our candidate and his ft i-'ndij"! h il.t this doctrine of intervention, is not only •ank injustice.but it is sheer nonsense. Air. Yancey even ;l ..\s not liold U. In his 'ate speech he indignantly repudiates it, arid declares that no Democrat entertains it. [tut Mr. B'ccktiiridge holds, an ! a.M good D-mocrats and ill conservative men of aii par lies ho!'), that in the feriiluries, wtiicti ate the common property nl the nation, all the citi/. *ns •I the United S'ates are protected bv the Con stitution, in their property—the slaveholder a> well as tiie rest. Tiie Constitution goes into tiie IVrnlories and covers them as s .on as they be come American!! Territories. It goes theie be bre !h '- j j itter, and i! g -s tfiere t. govern ami protect t.i n until lie is able to govern and ..r-.tect himself. The Constitution does not cre ate or establish anv property ; it only protects ti: • cit:/ -n who removes int.) a Territoiv • . to - eni >vment of his property. >' hen the Territory is organ siiflicientpopulation toautnoriz ' i' 'b m.o.e a Constituiion. n| | t.> entiti- it to a imissTbn i r.to the Union as a sovereign Stale, then it cafeith rr admit or p.ohibti slavery. This is the D-n --0 r.itic doctrine, and farther than th.s! i- Dem ocratic party has never gin , It is stiort-sighted policy in Jodg- Douglas and his friends thus to misrepresent Mr. Breck inridge and those who support hi .

Pile first question is, ii Abraham Liucoln b- i lected President oi the United States will t?e Southern State* be justified in seceding tf n the Union '? To tiiis I emphatically answer "no." |Great ■a iniaus!-.] The "lection of a man to the, Residency by the American people, in cou itrrrnty with the Constitution cf the Unite i Nates, wotr.'d not iustify anv attempt at dis .splvii g riiis glori ins Confederacy. [App'au.-e.J Now I will read to you tiie next question, and l ii answi r ii. Question. Jf they, the Southern State?, secede irom the Union upon tli" inauguration of Abraham Line fin, beiore he commits ati overt act against th-i- constitutional rights, will you advis- or vindicate resistance by lorce to thejr Seces-io: ' Voices. '•No, no!" "Bell men sav no, Douglas." JMr. D uglas. I answer emphatically that it i- the duty of the President ol th- United •Suites, and ali others in authority tm-'-r hi n, . ■• enforce tiie law- oi the Usnt"d States as , passed by Cioigress and as the court? rXpound the ji. [l'iieeisj And I, a* in duty bound bv ii;y •> th of tide it\ i > the Constitution, would do all in my power to ai) i:i the Goeei iiiuent of the United States HI maintain ing lite supremacy o! the ia* against a!I re istuoce to them, com- torn what quitter it In ol.ser word: I t.imk the President of the United States, who-ver he may he, xli■•mid treat aii attempt to break up tiie f. "non by renistance to its laws, as old Hick- ! oiy treated tfie nulltfier? in 1832. [Applause.] i'he nil's if,list be enforced, but, at the same time, je it remembered, it is the duty of every citiz-n of every State, and every public lu;;c --fi.inarv, fo preserve, maintain, and vinnirafe the right of every citiz-n, and u>- rights of -very State in tf: • U:u n. i bold that the institution has a remedy far every grievance tiiat iany aris- within the limits ol the (Jniou. I im v-ry frank in answering these questions. I am not in favor of any policy which would tend to give rise to complaints or murmuring*, much less to such as would call for ressitance from aiy quarter. 1 acknowledge the inherent and inalienable right to revolution whenever a grievance become* too burdensome to be borne. 1 acknowledge the right of every man to repel ami change the form of government under which he lives whenever it proves destructive to the end- for which it was established. That a is r-glii, however, never to be resorted tounti! the operations of the government become mor griev Dtts than the consequences of revolution. And therefore I say that the mere inauguration u! a President of the f mited State* whose politi cal opinions were in my judgment hostile to the Constitution and safety of the Union, without an overt act on his part, without a blow at our Constitution or our rights, is not such a grievance as would justify revolution or secession. ]Ch"er.} Hence, I say, whoever may t-e elected President of the United States, lie mu*t be sustained ;n the exercise of a!! his just constitutional prerogatives arid powers.— I he irarisi-en is them we will punish him with all tiie rigor of the law, as you punished J >lm Brown when he violated your laws-. [A storm of applause, j [, for one, will sustain with ail my euergv the President whenever tie may be in tiie exercise of all the powers conferred upon hurt by the Constitution, but I would take jn*t as much pleasure in hanging him if i.e tianscended those powers, as 1 (Vel plea-tire in knowing thai you hanged John Brown when Im was guilty of murder and treason again*' the State of Virginia. [Renewal of storm.] I am a law-abiding man, a Union-loving man, and I believe the Union can be main tained by a faithful observance of the Constitu tion, but I insist in • xacting tl.e fulfilment in good faith of every provision of that Constitu tion ; I insist on a line of policy which will place all th- people of all the States in an exact equality, and maintain and protect them in their just rights, but which will also compel obedience to ih~ Constitution and the constitu ted authorities of the country. Now, these questions, put to me the first day I landed on \ irgin.a soil, having emanated from the Iriends of the Secessionist can lidate, f ask that like questions may h- also put to those candidates, ; j and that you insist upon such Irank and un -1 equivocal ansvvei* as 1 have given. A Voice. "They could not do it square." Mr. Dauglas. Remember tiiat Mr. Breckin • ridge was nominated on the theory that the election of Lincoln was preferable to that of Djuglas. Now, no man doubts that if Breck mridge's friends had not seceded at Baltimore, I , but had acquiesced in the legitimate action of > the Convention, I would have in this contest ' beaten Lincoln by the popular vote. J A Voice. "That's so." Mr. Douglas. Kf-ss than one-third of the Convention seceded from the two-thirds, cn the ground that Southern honor and Southern rights were not safe tn my hands, and that hence it j was necessary to divide the party in every State of the Union, so tha Lincoln might have a chance of running in between the Democrat ic (.arty, and get elected by a majority vote. A Voice. "Tti .t's so." Mr. Douglas. The only ostensible and tru<* object sought in making a Breckinridge ticket in the Northern S'.-ites was to divide the demo- j cratic party so as to give Lincoln every one oi (lose States, so thai I tell you if Lincoln b- e lected President it will be the Secessionists: whom \ou will have to blame for i!. A Voice. "Tnat'.s so." Mr. Douglas. Lincoln ha-s no hope of being i elected except throngm th- efi'.irts of the Seces sionists, who hav- d '- - id—! the Democratic par tv supposing ti.at Breckinridge could carry every Southern State—though it now seems he ; i? n it gniii ' to carry a single one be the people. Siiil bv divi ling tl.e North, he gives every on-* , oi the States to Lincoln, thus allowing him to j be elected by tin- popular rote. Why, what was tiie true as.pi cl of the contest before the e- , ceseiou?—Lincoln had no show whatever for; more than two Sates tiii the Breckinridge di vision took plac", an i I would have beaten him in every State but Vermont and Massachusetts. As it is, I loink 1 will beat him in almost ali of ; them vet. [Cheers.] But should Lincoln be elected, the Sece.s.i lists, who nominated and, now suppott Br* ckinridge, will be entitled to; l'i- credit of it, and upon them will icst thi i responsibility oi ha-mg adopted the fatal po!i cy, and <1 reading the ie*ult of their own rash j and unpatriotic act, which give to Lincoln a chance of success, they come forward and ask me i! f will help them t . dissolve the Union in | tiie event of Lincoln being raised to tl.e Presi dential chair. J tell them no—never on earth.

This is the great cry ol the Black Rspubli can press and orators generally. But no intel ligent people will be deceived by th-ir hvpo cntical appeals on this head. Tnev know that the homestead law is a D-rnocra'ic measure—a hill of this character was int. ! uced by Senator of Tean., and passed by a Democrat ic Senate, before the Republicans, headed by Galiisba Grow, thought it expedient, for elec tioneenrig purposes, to get up anything of the • kind. Douglas bar always Deen in favor of, and has always uoied fur, such a law.

JUDGE DOUGLAS IN THE SOUTH. ! During the last week Judge Douglas has been ; making a tour of the Southern States, and he has been received everywhere by the people i With '.he wildest enthusiasm.
