The Democrats of Illinois have one ( creed, and,.wo can proolaiin it everywhere 1, ’ The Senator,, my colleague, complains that 1 T represent his party to ho in favor of ' equality. ■ No such thing, says X toll mV colleague to his teeth it is not so. There I is something very fearful in the manner in which bo said it! Senators know that ho is . a dangerous man who says things to a man s ■ teeth and I shall ho very cautious, how I tc ply ’ But he says he does hold that by the law of God the negro and the white man are orea cd' equal; that is, ho' says, m a state of na ture: and, therefore, ho says he indorses that clause of the Declaration of Independence as including the negro as well as the white man. ■ tdo not think I misstate my colleague lie thinks that clause of the Declaration of Inde pendence includes the negro ns well as the white man. Ha declares, therefore that the negro and the while man were created equal ■ "What does that Declaration also say: B c hold those truths to he self-evident; that they i are endowed by their Creator with certain m alienaile rights, among which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” If the negro and the white man are created equal, and that equality is-an- inalienable right, by what au thority is my colleague and his parly gmng to deprive the negro of that inalienable right which he got directly from God ? Ho says the ' . Republican party is not in favor of according to the negro an inalienable right that ho re ceives directly from his Maker. Oh, no: he tolls mo to my teeth that they are not in favor of that; they will not obey the laws of God. at all Their creed is to take away inalienable rto’bta. Well, I have found that out before, and that is just the reason I complain of them, that they are for taking away inalienable rights. If they will cling to the doctrine that the Declaration of Independence conferred certain inalienable rights,' among, which, vyo are told, is equality, between the white man and the negro, they are hound to .make tho human . laws they establish conform to- those God-giv cn rights which are inalienable. If they he- Uovolho first, proposition, as honest men. they ore bound to carry the principle to its logical conclusion,, dnd give the negro his equality and voice in the Government; let him vote at elections; hold office, serve on juries make Him judge, Governor, (“ Senator. ) No, they cannot make him a Senator, because tho Su preme Court has decided that ho is not a citi zen. The Drod Scott decision is m .the way. Perhaps that is the reason of tho objection to tho Dred Scott decision, that a negro cannot be a Senator.. I say, if you hold that the Al ■ mighty created tho negro the equal of the white man, and’that equality be an inaliena ble right, you aro bound to confer the elective franchise and every other privilege of political •, equality on tho negro. The Senator from Now York stands up to it like a inan.- ills drove him there, and he had the honesty to°avow tho consequence of his own doctrine. That is to suv, ho did it before the Harper s Ferry raid. 'Ho did not say it quite as plain ly to-day; for I will do tho Senator from Now York the justice to say, that in his speech to . day, XHbink lie made the most successful ef fort, considered ns an attempt to conceal what Ko mcSnt. (Laughter.) He dealt in vague generalities; he dealt in disclaimers and ge neral denials; and ho covered it all up wjth a verbiage that would, allow anybody to infer just what he pleased, hut not to commit the Senator to anything; and to lot the country know that there was no danger from' the suc cess of tho Republican party; that he did not mean any harm; that if men, believing in the truth of their doctrines, did go and commit in vasions, murders, robberies, and treason, all they had to do was to disavow tho men who were fools enough to believe them, and they are not responsible for tho consequences of their own action! • Now, Mr. President, I wish my colleague ■was equally as frank as the Senator from New York. That Senator is in favor of the equal ity of the negro with the white man, or else He would not say that the Almighty guaran tied to them an inalienable right of equality; My colleague dare not deny the inalienable rights of the-negro, for if ho did, the Aboli tionists would quit him. He dare not avow it, lest the old-lino Whigs should quit him: hence lie is riding double on this question. I Have no desire to conceal my opinions; and I repeat that 1 do not believe the negroraco is any part of the governing element in this country, except as an element of represents- J tion in the manner oSpVeSsly provided in the Constitution. This is a Vfhitff man a mont, made by white men for the Mmfitot white men, to ho administered by white men and nobody else; and I should regret thoday that’we ever allowed the noKrocsto hav hand in its administration, Not that the ng gro is not entitled to any privileges at all, on the contrary, I hold that humanity requires us to' allow the unfortunate negro, to enjoy all itho rights and privileges that he may safe!} exercise consistent with the good ° f soo '?‘?.- Wo mav, with safety,-give them some, print . eges in’lllinois that would not be safe i* mssinpi; because wo have but few, while that State^has^many. .We wiU take ca..o omr negroes, if Mississippi will take ej™ of hers ■p.-h i m3 n right to decide for itself what shall be the relation of the negro to «■« wh" within its pwn limits, and no other Sta a right to interfere with its dot f™"““*“"i ble , On that principle there is no lrro P i ennfliet •” there is no conflict at all. 11 w7ll iust take care of our own negroes, and . J n ; n d our own business, ,wc shall got along very well; and we ask our southern friends to ; do the same, and they seem pretty well-hspo sedtodoit. Therefore, lam m favor of just firin °a broadside into our Republican friends over"there, who will keep interfering with Sr people's business. That is the com-1 plaint I have of thorn. They keep b* n f P the negro fur us to worship, and when the} got the power, they will not g.vah.m the ?ights they claim for him ; they will not give him inalienable rights. Nf w York has no given the negro those inalienable rights ot fuffrage- yet. The , Senator from New York represents a slave State, according to 'ns own speech; because New York does nen-ro to vote on an equality with a white man.. It is true, in Now York they Jo allow a negro To vote, if ho owns S2oo worth of pro perty but not witliout. They suppose S-oU fust compensates for the difference between n rich negro and a poor white man. (Rang i ter 1 They allow the rich negro to vote, and do not allow the poor'one; and the Senator from Now ;York thinks that is a system. of slavery. It may bo; lot New York decide that; it is her business. ' I do. not want to in terfere'with if. Just let us alone. .Re do not want negro suffrage. R e say non ‘‘"*? ferencc; hands off.” If you like the associa tion of the negroes at the polls that ,s your business ; if you want them to hold office, so that they Jo not come hei-e, give offices to them, if'you chooseif you- want tlicm for magistrates, that is your business; hut you must not send them here; because we do not allow anybody but citizens to hold seats on this floor; and, thank God, the Dred Scott case has decided that a negro is not a citizen. Now, Mr. President, I-hope I shall, not be compelled to engage further m the discussion, and I apologize for the fact that I have occu pied so much time. "- GEN. FOSTER’S SPEECH. On tho evening of the day that nominated Gen. lle.n-rv D. Foster for Governor, a largo and enthusiastic meeting was held at Greens burg, where he resides, to ratify the nomina tion. Gen. F. having been invited, by reso lution, to address the meeting, appeared in tho Court House and spoke as follows: Mr. President and fellouhOUizens .—I con fess That, a few hours ago, no man m Penn sylvania less anticipated the-action ot the Democratic. State Convention, and of, my fol low citizens hero present,- than myself. 1 had •no expectations that I would be selected .toi the high and honorable position that has been assigned, mo. Upon every proper and convc- ■ vieut occasion, I had discouraged the use of , my name as a candidate, But the noixuna -1 tion has been' made and tendered to me in a I manner and with a unanimity that precludes \ a declination. While 1 had no personal dc-\ \ sire tor a nomination, it is not now a question I 1 whether it id to? my advantage and my gam, i or ‘ray disadvantage and my loss. I cannot but accept it, and thus accede to what appears to he the urgent desire of my. party, that such a nomination, tendered, in such a man ner, is gratifying,it wouldbe idle and foolish in me to deny. But while I appreciate the honor done me, I cannot but feel that it is ra ther a compliment paid to me out of respect for. and on account of, the noble Democracy of Old Westmoreland. . All that I have, and all that I am, I have had from the hands ol its Democracy;.and this nomination has been .riven to them, rather than to me. ° lb is not expected 1 of mo that upon tins oc casion I should undertake to discuss any of the issues of the campaign. It will he a loiig and an arduous contest. There will ho no child’s play in tho battle which is to ho fought in the fall of I 86 0; hut to deserve as well as 1 seoui-e success; there will be required not only tho untiring, energy of your candidate, hut of 1 every individual Democrat in tho State. That Democratic principles ought to prevail, should never for a moment he doubted. By the principles of that party—by its measures— .measures that have made this country what it is—l shall stand firmly. Its measures and its principles - arc dear to cycry Democratic heart, and upon its platform I shall surely, stand. ' . , ’ Great questions of public policy and of vital interest arc agitating the country to its very centre. Those questions musfhe settled, and settled upon sound national donstitutional "■rounds. -They must be settled, not for the benefit of the North—not for tho benefit of the "South—not for tho exclusive benefit of any section, hut for tho best interests and the common good of the whole country. Tho flattering manner in which this nomi nation was made compels me to accept it. I should be false to my principles, false to my party, false to my friends hero and elsewhere, by and through and for whom it has been given, if I failed to accept it. ' I take it from the Democratic party, and if that party goes ■ down, standing as it does upon principles of justice and of right, I am content to go down with it. ■ ] To you, my neighbors and my friends, 1 can hardly find words to express my gratitude for.this spontaneous exhibition of yourfriend ship for mo, , Here, of all other places, it falls most flatteringly upon me, You have known, mo for many years, and to you I owe all that lam. Wherever situated, and wherever my lot may be cast in the future, my heart shall always bo turned to my present home, where ■my imperfections have always been overlook ed, and a meed of praise awarded me far greater than, my deserts. ■ I thank you again for this warm manifesta tion of your kind regard, and, believe me, I 1 shall cherish it through all the years of my life. , [During the delivery of these remarks, he was frequently interrupted by tho wildest ap plause, and when ho sat down, the Court House fairly shook under tho cheers of the r multitude.] ie Prextice ox Oricixal Sin.—Prentice, in the Eouisvillb Journal says i- 1 ■Miss Harriet Beeohet, a woman of groat ability, sister of tbo Rev.

We sincerely hope the Delegates from Pennsylvania (all of whom are honorable men and good Democrats,) will, on taking their seats in the National Convention, forget all former disputes, and do the Ipest they can for the party.

This is a compliment well bestowed. Mr. B. is, an enthusiastic Demo crat, and -vve are glad to.sce that he bids iair to bo a rising star in western lowa., The fol lowing reference'to Mr.Bosi.Eß we take from a late number of the Sioux City [loica) Reg- Mer; ■ : „ , J. W. BosLF.n, Es«.—The notion of the re cent Democratic State Convention in the se lection of this gentleman, as a Dolegate.to the Charleston Convention is highly commended by-the Democracy of the Western part of the State, as a just tribute to sterling a«d gent Democrat in the clfectually for the principles of the ic party. Without wishing to disparage the services of other good Democrats inthispor tioh of the State, we can, truly say that theie is no one whoso efforts have been more unti ring in behalf of the principles of the party, or whose influence has made greater inroads in the ranks of. the opposition. Although quite a young man, his past career and pres ent position give indubitable evidence of a bright and useful future. jgy The Republican Convention of Massa chusetts has elected delegates to the Chicago Convention 1 favorable to the nomination of Seward, This extinguishes Mr.- Banks as a candidate, and narrows the contest.; It is ev ident that Seward will control the Chicago' Convention. If upon consultation it is deter mined that the North is sufficiently abolition izbd to swallow his heresies, then he will bo the candidate; if not, .he will be in a position to designate who shall be. The Bates move ment, notwithstanding the powerful aid of the New York Tt'ibune, is languishing, under a terrible fire, in the front from the ultra Re publicans, who despise a l?illmorc man, with only “a thin varnish of’Republicanism,” and in the rear from the Gorman Republicans, who will, not hear pf the nomination of an original Know-Nothing. Chase and Lincoln occupy so nearly the position of Seward, that they would not be'pore, available than he. Consequently, Seward has now the command ing position, and thj) best chances of securing ho nomination. . ; Tae Political Reaction in Maine. —The Dockland' free Press announces the election of a full hoard of Democratic town officers in Warren, by a strictly party vote, increased from Inst year.
