SPEECH OP HOW. IIERSCHEL V. JOHNSON, Democratic Nominee for Vice -President, Washington, June 2(s.—Thdfollowingis the speech of the Hon, Herschel Y. Johnson,’ of Georgia, last night, at the National Hotel, on, accepting the nomination for the Vice Pre sidency on the ticket with the Hon. Sthophen A. Douglas: _ Mr. Chairman, Gentlemen'of the National Democratic Party, and Felhio-ciligehs: I was taken by surprise’when I received a telegram phie message in Baltimore, at three o’clock this day, that the Hon. Benjamin 'Fitzpatrick had declined the nomination tendered him by the Democratic Convention, and that it was demanded of me to accept it. It is known to many of you that my name was freely men tioned in Baltimore in connection with this nomination, and that I persistently refused to countenanco.it, but invariably argued that if Georgia, were to be thus honored, it was due to another’of her sons, most distinguished for his talents and great public services. , This was my earnest desire, and the desire of the delegation of which I was a member. But the Convention in its wisdom deemed it best to nominate a statesman of Alabama. It was entirely satisfactory. Alabama is, the child of Georgia, and the mother cordially responds to any compliment bestowed upon her daugh ter-. These are the circumstances under which I have been assigned this distinguished position, and which demand that discrimina tion shouldyield to the voice of duty. The National Democratic party is in n pe culiar condition. It is assailed in tho house of its professed friends, and threatened with overthrow. The country is in a peculiar com ditipn. . It is on the eve of a soctiotfdl'BQnflict, which may sweep down all political parties and terminate in a dissolution of the Union. It is the duty of patriots and statesmen to unite in averting those threatened calamities. It may hot bo inappropriate to refer to‘the circumstances which imperil the National Do moeracy. . The, Alabama delegation wont to the Convention at Charleston instructed to de mand the incorporation into the platform of the party the proposition that Congress should mteryone for the protection of slavery in the lerritories, and to withdraw if the demand should be: refused. It was refused, and I think properly refused. • That delegation did retire, and with them-a large portion of the delegations from tho cotton States. 1 Why should they have retired ? The record shows that if they had remained at their post, they had tho power to. prevent tho nomination of any candidate who might bo obnoxious to the Sodth.

[Cheers nmf cries of “Wo will keep the faith."] As the chosen representative of that great party it is my fixed purpose to' keep the faith and re deem that pledge, at all hazards and under all circumstances. [Three: cheers for Douglas.! The safety of the Union depends upon a strict adherence to the doctrine of non-intervention. Intervention means disunion. Intervention whether by the North or by the South, wheth er tor or aganlst slavery tends directly to dis union. _ Upon this identical, question an ate tempt is now Being made to divide and de stroy the Democratic party. Because the mi nority of interventionists could riot intimidate ■the, majority into an abandonment of tho doc trine of non-intervention, they have seceded .from the organization of the Democratic party, and are endeavoring to form a new party In hostility to it. [Cries of let them go," “wp can whip tho disunionists North and South ” etc.] . ’ Secession is disunion. Secession from the Democratic party moans secession from the Federal Union. [“ That’s so,” and applause.] Those who enlist under the secession banner now will Be expected on the 4th of March next to take up arms against the Constituted autho rities in certain contingencies.

"Why seek to dis inemher and destroy the party ?, I question not the patriotism of any,, but the people will hold them responsible sooner or later for all tho, ills that may flow from th eir errors. -1 said the demand for Congres-, ®}® na * .intervention was ’ properly rejected at Charleston. And -iyhy do I say so ? . Because ' if was the agreement between the North and the South that the slavery agitation should be 1 removed from tho halls of Congress, and the 1 people of the Territories be left perfectly free i to regulate their domestic institutions in their I subject, to the ..Constitution of .the ■ I United States. This was the principle of the i Compromise Measures of 1850, and practical \ \7 applied to the Nebraska-Kansas act in 1854,' ! adapted .by the great, political parties I i United States in 1852, It triumphed m the’ election of Franklin Pierce in that 1 year, and of James Buchanan in 1856. It is |, perhaps the best gi ound of compromise be-, tween the North and the South which human ingenuity can devise. It is understood by the people of all sections, and by it the Democratic party, at least, of all sections should, be willing to abide. It gives advantage to neither section , over the I, other, because it refers all questions of dis ! puto, between them as to Congressional or ! lerntorial power over the subject of slavery to the final,arbitrament of the Supreme Court l ■ United States. Itis therefore safe for the North, nnd’safo.for tho South, Its prac tical working is not without satisfactory re sults. Whore the people of a Territory desire I slave labor, and the soil and climate ai‘e suited to it, slavery will go;' whore those conditions do not exist, it will not go. That finds an il luetratmn in New ,Mexico,; where slavery, is established, and this in those Territories whore it is excluded. Only a ; few days ago, proposi tions to repeal the slavery laws of New Mexi co, on the one hand, and the anti-slavery laws ot Kansas op Hie other, wore made and reject ed in the Senate of the United States, h SUppose those propositions, or either of them, bad-prevailed, is it not certain that the country would have been thrown into-the higbqst^pxoiAemcnt?. But,by..their,iejeotion( .•non-intervention was practically, adhered to, • and the, public mind is satisfied and quiet.-r -,Dot us maintain it firmly and faithfully. We are hound to it by every consideration of in-1 terest, and obligation of compact. . Its aban donment will prove fatal to the National Dei: moeratic party, and ultimately to the Union itself. It will; drive the South into intense sectionalism, and the North into the rants of Black Republicanism. " , • ■ ! I do not say every man of the North, for I know that the groat body of the Northern De mocracy will remain true to tho Constitution, despite tho overwhelming flood of its relent less cohorts. But I mean that the free-labor' States would be controlled by Black Republi canism, and would pot be able to return q single member to either house of Congress, friendly to tho constitutional rights of the South. ■ I trust that this condition of things may, never exist; but if it should, I know of no way by \vhieh tho Union can he saved. Hence the doctrine of Congressional intervention, ns ad-1 vocated by tho new-born sectional party, is; fraught with poril to the country. question is now distinctly presented to ■ the people, whether, they will adhere to the 1 doctrine of non-intervention, or whether they .will abandon it; whether they will reopen the slavery 'agitation, by requiring Congress to take jurisdiction over it, or whether they will give repose .to tho public mind, and security to the Union, by leaving it where the Com promise leaves rt, to the free action of the peo- P‘ e Territories, under the Constitution of the United States. The issue is fairly made up, ’ It is intervention dr non-intervention.-D Its decision involves the destinies of this great Republic, and the highest interests of the civ ilized, world. Compared with it, tho aspira tionspf men and the 1 fate of, political parties, sink into utter insignificance. Where shall wo look for deliverance from thqse threatened evils ? ■' Ifc has boon the mission of the Democratic party of the Union,'in a thousand perils, to rescue our country from impending calami ties. . Its past career, abounds with heroic passages, and is illustrated with, the most.glo rious achievements in the cause of constitu- lonal liberty. It is the party of Jefferson, and Madison, and Jackson, and Polk, whose Administrations constitute grand epochs in our national history. It is the party of the Constitution. I look to it with confidence.— Whore, else shall-the patriot look in :heso times of political defection and sectional agi tation ? Let its integrity bo permanently strayed, and the doctrine of non-intervention overthrown, and then the best hopes of the statesman may well be clouded with gloom and darkness. It is to maintain these that I consent to take the position now assigned me,, and wel come the consequences' of personal good or personal ill which that position may bring,— Nothing else could induce mo to brave the detraction which it invites and incur the heavy responsibility which it imposes. I have noth 'JJg hj add but the expression of my profound thanks for thb ; honor so unexpectedly confer red upon me,- and my cordial acknowledgment for the flattering terms in which I have been notified of my nomination. Whatever may be honorably done, I shall cheerfully do to main tain thoyntegrity of the party and the tfiumpji of its principles. fi®* 1 -AT Wag—seeing a pretty girl standing by a house having a bill of “ To Let” on it, in quired if Miss, “ was to bo lot with the prom ises ?” . “No Sir-oe,” replied Miss Pert, “lam to bo let alone” , , O'Good advice is beyond all price—and yet it may,often bo had- for nothing, and is frequently rejected when offered. fl®“Why is a minister like a locomotive?

It is no weakness in you to do it, nor in her co desire it. Alasl how* many a’ womans heart has died but of her for the want of it— thirsting and panting like poor Hagar in the, desert, for the cooling springs of love and sym pathy which gladdened life’s morning, but which, as she traveled towards the noonday, vanished and left no trace. . . If some of the superabundance of tender ness and devotion, which is lavished upon her girlhood, could be laid up for future use and measured out to her in after years, when re alities and gathering cares have taken the place of love and romance, there would be loss sighs and secret tears. Many a true-hearted husband, wholly guilt less of one unkind thought towards the wife who makes his home happy, wonders to see her beauty, fade so early and her spirits lose their fre'Snnoss.' Ah 1 he has forgotteif that shd has more need of his affection than when shd was a care-free maiden—-that often, when her heart and hands- are weary, she yearns for tender and approving words from him; thot it was his loving glance, so often bent upon her in other days, that gave the sparkle to her eye;, that it was his caress that brought tlio rich color to' her cheek; that it was the consciousness of being loved, that awakened all the angel;in her nature, and made her beautiful.
