President Buchanan's Address in, Wash ington on Monday, July 0th. Friends and Fellow Citizens : I thank you from my heart for the honor of this visit. I cordially congratulate you on the preference which you havo expressed for ; Major Breckinridge and General Lane as candidates for the Presidency und Vice Presidency of the United States over nil oompetitois. Applause They are men who-e namus are known to the country ; they need no eulogy from ma; they have served their country in peace and in war. ' They aro statesmen as well as noldiers, nnd in the day and hour of danger they will ever bo at their post. They are eon- servative men ? and in tho course of their administration they will bo equally just to tho Nort l and to the South, to tho Fast and to tho West. Applause.) Above all, And first of all, they are friends of tbo Constitution and of tho Union cheers and they will stand by them to tho death. Renewed cheers. But we ought not to forget that they are also friends to tho equality of tho Sovereign States of tho Union in the common Territories of the countrv.

Thatii tho prin tion. Cheers. But, before 1 speak fur- cij,lc sought to be established at present ; ther upon this subject and I shall not mi l there seems to be an entire mistake detain you very long I wish to removo and misundeistunding among a portion of ono stumbling-block out of tho way. . the public upon this sulject. When was I havo ever been tho friend of regular j property ever submitted to the will of tho nominations. I havo never stru k a po i majority ? ("Never." If you Hold prop litical ticket in my life. Now, was there ort'y at an individual you hold it indepen anything done at Baltimore to bind tho dent of Congress or of tho Stato Legishi political conscience of any sound Demo- turo or of tho Territorial Legislature it is f rat, or to prevent him from supporting yours ; and your Constitution t.is made to Brcokiuridge and Lane? "No, no !" It I protect vour private property aeainst tho was cotemporary with tho abandonment j oi wo em congressional convention or caucus. This occurred a long timo ago ; very few, if ar-y, of you remember it. Un der tho old congressional convention sys tem, no person was admitted to a seat ex cept tho Democratic members of the Sen- Uto and Ilouso ot Kepresen iativ.es. This rule rendered it absolutoly certain that ihe nominoc, whoever ho might be, would be sustained at the election by tho Demo eratic .Statos of the Union. By this means it was rendered impossible that those (States which could not give an electoral vote for the candidato when nominated hould control the nomination, and dic tnt" to the Democratio States who should be their nominee. This system wa aban donedwhether wisely or not I shall ex press no opinion. The National Convec tion was substituted in its stead. All the States, whether Democratic or not, were equally to snd delegates to this Convention according to the number of their Senator and Ivepreseutatives i i Congress. A difficulty at oncoaroso which never could huvo arisen under llio con gressional convention HVBtctn, I F it hare iiui jotity of tho Nntionnl Convention thus compose, could nominate a ranlnlato, ho might ho nominated mainly by tlio anti- Democratic States. 'I'lius the nominating power would he separated from tlio eleo-1 ting power, which could not fail to be de si rni l i I'd to t lie kI r.,n r 1 1, n tl 1, .itv,..,.. i mi 1 ' ,l',no('l a,iu I'in t.V To ohviato this so , ,;; jrious difficulty in tho organization of a ,,, National Convention, ami at the same 11,110 ,0 loave a" "'0 .Stales their full vote, tho two-thirds nil.) was adopted. It was helievcd that under this rulo no candi date could ever ho nominated without embracing within llu'two-thirds tho votes of a decided majority of Democratic Statu. This was tho substitute adopted to ro j tain, at least in a great degree, tlio power ! to tho Democratic States which tliey would have lo.,t by abandoning the congressional convention system, . ,ill;lr in the edifice I his rule was a main of National Convcn- Uons. Remove it and tho whole must I become a ruin. Tins sustaining pillar was I broken to pieces at Baltimore, by tho Con j volition which nominated Mr. Douglas. ' After this tho body was no longer a Na tional Convention ; and no Democrat, however devoted to regular nominations, w.ii bound to give the nominee his sup port : ho was left free to act according to the dictates of his own judgment and conscience. And here, in passing, I may observe- that the wisdom of tho two-thirds rule is justified by tho events passing n round us. Hal it been faithfully observ ed no candidate could havo been nomi nate J against tho will ami wishes of al most every certain Democratic Stato in tho Union, against nearly all the Demo cratic Senators and more than three fourths of t ie Democratic Beprescnta tives in Congress- Cheers. 1 purposely avoid entering upon any discussion respecting tho exclusion from the Convention of regularly-elected dele gates from dillorcnt Democratic States. If theConventicn which nominated Mr. Dou glas w as not a regular Democratic Conven tion, it must bo confessed that Breckin ridge is in the same condition in that res pect. Tho I'onveution that nominated him, although it was composed of nearly all tho certain Democratic State, did not contain tho two-thirds ; and therefore ev 1 ery Democrat is at perfect liberty to vote as ho think proper, 'vithout running ! counter to any regular nomination of the ; party. Applause and cries of ''three cheers for Breokinridtro and Lane."l IIol- ding this position, I shall present somo of tno reasons why 1 prefer Mr. Breckinridge I to Mr. Douglas. This I shall do without attempting to interfere with anv individ ual Democrat or any Stato Democratic or ganization holding different opinions from myself. Tho main object of all good Dem ocrats, w nether belonging to the ono or ! tho other wing of our unfortunate division is to defeat the election nf the Unniihlienn candidates ; and I shall never oppose any honest and honorable course calculated to accomplish this object, To return to tho point from which I have digressed. I am in favor of Mr. Brechin- ridge because ho sanctions and sustains tlic perfect equality of all the Stales with- in the common territories, and theopin- ion of the Supremo Court of tho United States establishing this equality. The sov ereign States of this Union nro ono vast partnership. Tho Territories were acqui- roj hy the common blood and common treasure of them all. Each Stato, and each citizen ol each Slate, has the satno right in the Territories as any other Stato and the citizens of any other Stato possess. No-v nhat is sought for at present is, that a por- tion of these States should turn around to tlioi r sitter States and say, "Wo oro lioli- cr than you are, and while we will take our nropcrtv to tho Territories and havo it, protected there, you shall not place y0ur property in tho That is precisely win Famo position. precisely what is contended lor.- What tho Democratic par'v maintain, and . ..!... ,1... , : . Mi ituub uiu uuo pi iii;ijio ui ieiuoci acy is, 'that all shall eniov tho same ri"hf and mcd for the protection of life, liberty, and property. They aro tho objects for the a-saults of legislative power. (Cheers.) ell, now, any set oi principles which will deprivo you of your property is against the very cssenco of Kepublicin government, ami to that extent makes you a slavo ; for the man who has power over your proper ty to confiscate it, has power over your means of subsistaneo ; nnd yet it is con tended that although tho Constitution of the Unitod Statos confers no euoIi power although no Stato Legislature has any such power, yet a Territorial Legislature, in tho remoto extremities of tho country, can eon fisualo your properly! (A Voico "They can't do it ; they ain't going to do it.") There is but ono mode as point-, ed out in tho Cincinnati Platform, which has been as much misrepresented as any thing 1 havo ever known. That riatform declares that a majority of the aotual res idents inaTerritory, whenever their num ber is sufficient to entitlo them to in I mis sion at a Stato, possess tho power" to from a Constitution with or without domestic blavery, to bo admitted into tho Union u PRINCIPLES, not CLKA11K1F.U), PA. WKDNKSKAV, AU(UIST IfifiO. poll terms of perfect equality w ith tho oth er States." lfthero bo squatter sover eignty in this resolution, 1 have never been able to perceive it. lfthero beany reference in it to a Territorial Legislature, it has entirely escaped my notice. It pre sents the clear principle that at tho time tho people form their Constitution they shall then decide whether they will have slavery or not. And yet it nas been sta ted over and over sgain that, in Accepting the nomination under that platform, 1 en dorsed tiio doctrine of squatter sovereign ty. 1 suppose you have all heard this re peated a thousand times. A Voico "Wo all knew it was u lie!', Well' 1 ar.i glad you did. How beautifully this plain principle of coiibtitulional law corresponds with the best interests of tho people! Under it, emigrants from the North and South, from the Fast and the West, proceed to the Territories, They carry with them that property which they suppose will best promote their material inteiests ; they live together in ponce and harmony. The question of slavery will become a fore gone conclusion before they have inhabi tants enough to enter the Union as a State. Thoio will then be no "bleeding Kansas" in the Territories ; they will all live together in peace and haunony, pro moting the prosperity of the Territory and their own prosperity, until the time shall arrive when it becomes necessary to frame a Constitution. Then tho whole question will be decided to tho general satisfact ion. But upon the opposite principle, what will you find in the Terriioi ias .' Why, there will bo a strife and conten tion all the time. One Territorial legisla ture may establish hlavcry and another Territorial legislatuiu may abolish it, and so tho struggle w ill be cotuiiuied throughout the Territorial existence. The people, in stead of devoting their energies and in dustry promote thnityiwn prosperity, will be in a state of constant. strife and turmoil, just as wo havo witnessed in Kansas. Therefore, the.ro is no possible principle that can bo so injurious to tho best inter est of n Territory as what has I e:n called squatter sovereignty. Now let me place tho subjoct before you in another point of view. The people of tno Southern States can never abandon this great principle of Statoequalitv in the Union without self-degradation. Never Never without an acknowledgement that they arc inferior in thin respect to their sister States. Whi.st it is vital to them to preserve their equality, tho Northern Stales' surrender nothing by admitting this principle. In doing this they only yield obedienco to tho Constitution of their country as expounded by the Su preme Court of the United States. Whilo for tho North it is comparatively a mere abstraction with tho South it is a ques tion of co-equal State sovereignty in tho Union. If tho decroes of tho high tribunal estab lished by tho Constitution for tho very purpose aro to set at naught and bo disregarded, it will tend to render all property of every description insecure. What, then, havo the North to do? Merely to say that as good citizens, thej will yield obedience to the decision of the Supreme Court, and admit the right of a Southern man to take his property into the Territories, and hold it there, just as a Northern man may do; and it is to me tho most cxtrnordinory thing in tho world that this country should now be distracted and divided because certain persons at the North w ill not agree that their brethren at tho South shall havo the same rights in the Territories which they enjoy. What would I, as u Peimsylvanian, say or do, supposing anybody was to contend that tho Legislature of any Territory could outlaw iron or coal within the Territory. Laughter pikI applause. Tho principle is precisely, tho same. The Supreme Court of the United States Lave decided what was known to us all to have been the existing stato of affairs for fifty years thai slaves aro property. Admit that fact ami you admit everything. Then that property in the Territories must bo pre cisely in the same manner with any other property. If it bo net so protected in tho Territories, tho holders of it aro degra ded before the world. Wo have been told that non-intervention on the nsrt of Congress with slavery in The Territories is the truo policy. Very I well. 1 most cheerfully admit that Con j gross has no right to pass any lew to es I tablish, impair cr abolish slavery in the Territories. Let this principle of non-in., i tervrntion bo extended to the Territorial legislures, and let it bo declared that they , in like manner havo no power to establish, impair, or destroy slavery, anil then the , controversy is in effect ended. This u all j that is required at present, and 1 verily believo all that will ever bo required. j llands off by Congress and hands oil' by the Territorial legislature. Loud ap plause. With tho Supremo Court of the United States I hold that neither Coir (gressnor tho Territorial legislature lias ' any power to establish, impair, or abolish ( slavery in the Tcrritcrics. But if in the I faco of tins positive prohibition, the Tcrri , torial legislature should cxeorcise the now (erof intervening, then this would bo a mere transferor the Wilmotprovisoand the ! Buffalo jd.it form from Congress, to bo can ned into execution in tho Territories to tho destruction of all property in slaves.- ' h'encwed applause. An attempt of tins kind, if made in ' Congress would bo resisted by able men on tho floor of both house3, and j'robably de feated. Not so in a remote Territory. To every new Territory thero will bo a ruh of free-soilers from the Northern Statos. . They would elect the first Territorial leg islature beforo tho ieojile of the South ; could arrive -.villi their jiropcrly, and this legislature would jirobably i-ettlo forever tho question of slavrry according to their own will.

Shall this great party which has governed the coun try in peace, ami war; which has raised it Iroin humble beginnings to be one of the most prosperous and powerful nations ir tho worlil-sh ill this party be broken up for such a cause:' That is ihe question. Tho numerous, powerful, pious, and res pectable Methodist Church has been thus divided. Tho division was a severe shock to the Union. A similar division ol the great DcmocriiMc party, should it contin lie, would rend asunder one of the most powerful links which I inds the Union to gether. 1 entertain no such fearful apprehen sions. The present issue is transitory, and will speedily pass away. In the nature o!' things it cannot continue. There is but one possible contingency which can endanger the Union ; and against this all Democrats, whether sijuatter sovoieigns or popular sovereigns, will present a unit ed resistance. Should the lime ever ar rive when Noilhern a-iitalion and fanati cism shall proceed so far as to render the domestic firesides of the South insecure, hen and not till then will thoUnion.be n danger. A united Northern Democra cy will present a wall of fire against such a catastrophe ! There are in our midst numerous per sons who predict the dissolution of the great democratic party, and other, who contend that it has already been dissolved. The wMi is father to the thought. It hai been heretofore in great j'cril ; but when divided for'' the moment it has always c'.onod up i! ranks nnd become more pow erful even from defeat. It will never die whilst tho Constitution and the Union survive. It will live to protect and de fend both, It has roots in the very vitals of the Constitution, and, like one of an cient cedars of Lebanon it will lloui ish to aflord shelter nnd protection to that sa rred instrument, and to shield against ev ery storm of faction. Renewed up jlause. Now friends and follow citizens, it is probable that this is the last political speech that 1 shall ever make. A voice, "We hope not !" Itisnoiv nearly forty years sinco I first camo to Washington as u motii ner of Congress and I jvish to say this night that (luring that whole jieriod I have received nothing but kindness and attention from your fathers and your selves.

Lincoln's Record HIS RECORD Proves that w hile the nominoo of the Re publican pi-rty for President, Abraham Lincoln, was a member of Congress, the VYilmot Proviso controversy was in pro gress, nnd that ho was active, in connec tion with William II. Seward, Joshua l. Giddings, and other prominent abolition members of Congress, in keeping up the slavery agitation. He voted for the Pro viso jrVi-ttco times.

Also proves that in a speech at fialecbunr, j 111., Oct. 7, ho said--" I believe mat tno rigut oi jroporiy in a slavo is not distinctly and expressly aflirnied in the Constitution." HIS RECORD Also proves that in a speech at (Ju'ncv, 111 Lith Oct IS.'iS, ho said ''the Republican parly think it shtvery wrong we think it is a moral, soaeial, and a political wrong. II'o think it is a wrong not confining it self merely to tho jicrsons or tho States where it exists, but that it is a wrong in its tendency, to say the least, that intends itself to the existence of the whole nation. Because we think it wrong, tvo jiroposo a coarse of policy that shall deal with it as a wrong. Wo deal with it as with any other wrong, in so far as we can jirovent its growing any larger ; and so deal with it that in tho run of time thero may be some promise of an end of it." 1I1S RECORD Also proves thr.t in a speech at Springfield, 111., on tho 17th of Juno, lS.IS, ho decla red 'A house divided against itself can not stand." I believo this government cannot enduro permanently half slavo and half free. It will become all ono thing or all tho other. Either tho opponents ol slavery will arrest tho farther sjirend of it, "and place it where the public mind bhall rest in tho belief that it is in the course of ultimate extinction ; or its advocates ill push it forward till it shall become alike lawful in nil tho States, old as well new North as well as South."

From the Chien;,'o Times nnd Herald. The New York Tribune, the h ading Re publican journal of the United States, thus discourses of Negro Voting: "A distant correspondent, writes to learn what is the fact as to Blacks voting in our State. We answer If a negro ow nsS-'i" worth of real estate, free and clear of incumbrance, ho can vote the same as a white man; if not, he his no right of u.ll'rage that "white men are bound to respect." "We regard this discrimination as sim ply atrocious. I fa property qualification is right, it ought to be imposed on all a lik, not mi rely on those w ho have the least properly and the wor.-t chance to obtain it ; if a negro has no soul, and no political s'irtiis but that of a thing, his owning a pile of dirt cannot rightfully give hini-aiiy. Ju zr.y light, the jircieiit rule is wrong nnd 3ud-fcnsihlc. "Wo shall have a chance this fall to veto down this anomaly, and we ought to doit. Let us abolish the property quali fication, and give tho jioor blacks an equal chance at tho jiolls with their richer brethren. They are but a handful ary how, and cannot do much harm if they try." 1 f there is one thing more degrading to the American j.eoplo than another, it is the fact that a jioivcrful party exists in our midst w hich, or a majority of which, is willing to sink tho j.rou.l Anglo-Saxon and other European races into ono com mon level w ith tho lowest races of man kind. It seems absolutely wonderful that any sane man could advocate such unjust, illivical and unnatural self-abasement. Cod has not nideied Ihe distinct divisions of tho human family which now exist, withoutsomowise nuriiose. Races were manifestly intended by Providence to rs- main separate and distinct, as were the several species oi tne unite creation, inc wonderful difference in physical and men tal organization of the several races was evidently designed to prevent the exist ence of mongrel stock. Mongrels aro the accursed of nature. No nation of half's breeds ever has continued to exist or ever can. But what has all this to do with negro voting? Simply this: If ihe equality of the negro is acknowledged, and the political rights of tho whito man aro shared with him, a mongrel race must and will follow. There are no'.v some 5,000,000 of Africans and mixed breeds in tho United States. Theso persons if froe would soon distribute themselves over tho countiy, North and South. The pro portion which would fall to tho lot of Illi nois could not fall far short of ilibOOO. At the lowest calculation this jiopulation would cast onc'si.elh of the whole vote of the iStute ! Now let any sano man imagine tho result of such a state of things ! Sup pose it existed now, and the negro popu lation had tho command of thirty thou-, sand votes in Illinois, what scenes would we be compelled to witness! Does any , human soul doubt that demagogues would be found in abundance, to court and smiio upon the noble African race, for the sake ol'.'!o,00t votes in a single State? Does anybody fail to see the cringing and bow ing for the Herman vote, by tho very same nu n, who live years ago denounced them as krotit eating, flat-headed, Suabian Dulch? And yet the negroes nre more numerous than the Hermans, or Irish ei ther, and would havo more jiower in elec tions than cither. . Can, wo repeat, any sane man doubt the result? Would wo not see our polite, kid gloved gentry, w ho now draw their bilk stiehe.l brimstone colored kids, so heartily to drink lager wilh tho Ton ton, bow low and gracefully as he handed the accomplished Miss Dinah into tho carriage ! Would wo not moderate our admiration for the 'chil dren of the L'hine,' when wo could get Uvo votes to one, by singing pagans to the rich tropical color and still richer perfume of the "children of the sun?" Would vc not see in our band wagons, on elec tion days, tho soft-flowing curly of Congo's daughters, waving in the wind, side by side with tho Haven locks ol'tho maids of Scandinavia? When wo rame to repre sent emblematically tho States of this linion by our daughters in Mowing white. would w e not oe induced to put the coal1 of arms of every sixth State unon the 1 .1 . . budding bosom of some fair daughter from the banks of tho Niger? Wo may smile at these things now, but as certain as the waters of the Mississipj.i flow to tho Hulf, this must be th result of t li w "negro equality" and "negro voting" doctrine. Could such a time an ive, does any man doubt tho gradual but certain amalgama tion of tho races, and Hint tho land of Hancock and Washington would becoms the homo of a race of mongrels? And yet such nro the docti ins preached by the most prominent advocates of Abraham Lincoln for the Presidency. Whon will this insane necrophobia cease ? f-r'A gentleman, in hisoagerncssnttho table to answer a call for some apple pio, owing to tho knife slipping on the bottom of the dish, found his knuckles hurried in tho crust, when a wag, who sal just aj posito to him very gravely observed, whilo. ho held his plato: "Sir, I'll trouble vou for a Lit of j.io whilo your hand is in !"

About one hundred and fifty persons were present, perhap, not so many and, financially consider, d, tho lecture was a failure. The lady appeared, attired in a plain but neat and lasly .In After taking her nosition behind t l.n .l.li- and making a bow to her audience, sho ollered ; brief prayer, which, to f ay tho least, look every body by surprise, tho moro so because it had the immediate ef fect of checking Iheajqil iuse which wr.j about to follow her appeuance. Tho prayer being ended, sho slated that sho did not oiler it through any det-ii e to l.o regarded as eccentric, but because she be lieved that it was her duty to do so. Sho then entered upon the subject mutter of her lecture, warning tho reporters, paren thetically, that if tliey published any j.ru t of it they might expect a prosecution for libel so sho had been given to undeiv stand. We havo no desire to veiitilutu anything that tho lady said ; and, when wo state that the wholo story was one of domestic misery, from tho wedding day until she finally separated from h r litis-' band -a period of about twenty years wc aro sure our readers will not de-ire to bear it. She lifted the veil which ha-: so long covered the secrets of her heart, anil her lecture seemed like a Pandora's bo.:, IVom which rushed out "a multitude ot evils.'. It was a narrative made up of in numerable little details, such as many a. wile might recognize, but to the. recital of which not ono in ten thousand could bo brought. At times she was grave, and wept and sighed over the recollection of her wrongs, her ul teranso being frequent ly choked, nnd her whole manner beto kening the most painful emotion. Then again she would indulge in tho keenest ridicule, causing her hearers to shake their sides with laughter over lier ininn table jiictures of "domestic economy."--Altogether, it was tho strangest medley wc ever listened lo. She concluded by giving a very vivid description of her experience in Minne sota, w hero sho began tho jmbliealiou of ! her paper, four years a"0, at a timoheiv j she was in constant danger of tho sculp ! i"K knife, and had a loaded muskot con j stantly by her side, to bo used in case of j emergency. I5ut, strange as it may ap pear, these havo been tho happiest daya of her unhajipy life !
