Ono sweetly solemn thought
Comes to mo o'tr and o'er
I'm nearer homo to-day
Thau I have ever been before
Nearer my Father's house
Where, tho many mansions bo ;
Nearer tho groat whito throne,
Nearer tho jasper sea ;
Nearer the bound of life,
Where wo lay our burdens down ,
Nearer leaving the cross,
Nearer gaiuing tho crown,
But lyi ng darkly between,
Winding down through tho night ;
Is the dim and unknown stream
That leads at last to tho light.
Closer and closer my steps
Come to tho dark abysm j
Closer death to my lips
Tresses tho awful chrysm,
Fathor! pcrfoct my trust ;
Strengthen the might of my faith ;
Let me feel as I would when I stand
On tho rock of tho shoro of death
Feel ns I would when my feet
Aro slipping over the brink ;
For it may bo I'm nearer home,
Nearer now, than I think.
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. Cries of ''dood : J I hey Mil

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

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

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

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

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

legislature would jirobably i-ettlo forever

sions. The present issue is transitory, and
will speedily pass away. In the nature

but one possible contingency which can
endanger the Union ; and against this all

Brief as is his record, we imagine that it 1
will take much "whitewashing" by his j

people that Abralnm Lineold, the Bepub-
liean nominee for 1'ienitlent, is a national,
conservative man, and worthy to fill the'
highest ollice in the American I'epublic,
Negro Voting.
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.

Mrs. Swissliclm's Lccana.
This lady delivered tho lii t f a s ri.-s
0' lectures Thursday night at Lalavetto
Hall, upon " I'ho Financial lli-: a y I Her
Married Life." 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-'

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

She concluded by giving a very vivid
description of her experience in Minne
