Senator Douglas at Home. We copy from the Chicago papers a full accoun of the speech of Senator Douglas, and of its recep lion, at Chicago on the Ist of September. The Telegraphic reports misiepresenteal the proceed togs on that occasion in some important respects According to them, Senator Douglas made tin speech—the meeting refusing to allow him to say anything. According to the enthusiastic teports, , now given, he spoke far nearly an hour,•—being, interrupted only by replies to his direct appeals, or still ,more direct mismateme..ts,—and was filially silenced only when his remarks hail become so of fensive, and his manner so inselting, as to test on duly the patience of his auditors. Alts special organ, the Chicago Times, has an outline of his remarks. He began, by vindicating the repeal of the Missouri Corbpromise on the ground that it permitted Slavery South of 36° 30'. He asked triumphantly, whether there was "a man in that crowd, who was in favor of recognizing Slavery South of any line." The Missouri Cprn promise dui recognize it South of a certain hue ; therefore its repeal was justifiable. This was thfs. argument which he addressed to the Chicago meea dig ;—it certainly is not easy to guage the inso lence which could attempt to palm its sophistry up on an intelligent assembly. Mr. Douglas asserted that all parties at the North had repudiated the Missouri Compromise, He must have known this to be untrue. Even it any party h attempted tp repudiatii it, the endeavor had been thwarted and could not, therefore, be justly made the basis of Legislation which should disturb or change it. Mr. Douglasi in this as in all his other speeches, rests the vindication of the bill on the pretext that it commired all legislation on subject of Slavery, to the people of the territories The untruth of this assertion has been so often ex posed that further reference to it is scarcely needel. The bill, in the first place, determines who shall be oonsidetcd " people," and thus limits the pope. lar Sovereignty :—and it then gives the veto power to a Governor, and the dispensing power to the Judges, appointed by the Executive of the Uni.ed States. To pretend that this leaves the people of the territory free, is a mockery of common sense. This demonstration agamst the Nebraska move merit in Chicago, w.ll not be without effect throl out the Union It shows' that Illinois is riot so far under Douglas' domination, that he can betray its intetesta and outrage its public sentiment with im punity. THE " DRUGGED LIQUOR" AT CONCORD, N. H —it turns out that the "drugged liquor," of which so much was said during the late session of the New Hampshire Legislwure, as having been administer ed to certain Democratic members during the Sena torial contest, wasnot driugeil in the ordinary way. In other words, it was sweetened yveh Peruvian or Chincha sn , ar commonly called &nano. A correspondent of the Manchester Democrat asserts this to be the fact. It seems that in a back room of the hotel where liquor wa, kept, Mr. Uri Lamprey, an agent of the New York Guano company, who was at the same hotel, had with him several choice samples of pulverised guano, which he kept in bowls, and on favorable. occasion exhibited them to his friends among members. One evening, being hastily called out, he incautiously set away has pulverized samples on the same shelf with the sagas bowls. Shortly after, some of the Democrat is members, wishing to " strengthen the inner man," went into the closet ' which was not yet lighted op, and having used the decanters, took also very freely of the sweetening from the guanif bowls. Several important results followed—the chief of which wag the immediate falling off in the vote for Mr. Wells for United Stairs Senator—the drugged members unavoidably detained from their seats. STATE OF TIIINCIS IN EAST TENN ESSE.It —There is a great deal of Abolitionism in East Tennessee, end with it a ?eerie! Increase of insolence and hel lish daring on the part of negroesr Negroes take more liberties -in East Tennessee, and display more insolence in their intercourse with whim peo ple, than anywhere we have ever been, and we have traveled extensively. Many of the negroes can read, and they keep themselves pasted up on the subject of the controversy between the North and the Solith, touching the Slavery question They can be heard relating matters of this sort to ether negroes who can't read at any time. To the disgrace of East Tennessee, we must admit, that white, men, everywhere, play carde r tight chickens, drink'whisky, and Sabbath-break it with the ne groes. ,:Abolitionists meet with more favor in East Tennessee than anywhere else in the South. The scoundrels fill our pulpits preside in dor schools; sell us goods; marry into our families; serve as as clerks and attorneys, and figure in every other wayl The true-hearted citizens of East Tennessee, and property holders, ought to enter into a league, and I whip, black, and ride on a rail, irrespective of age, calling, or family associations, every preaeher, citizen or traveller who dares to utter one word in opposition to Slavery, or who is found in posses• *ion of an Abolition document.

We preserit to O'nr readers the Democratic County Ticket, settled upon by the Conven tion on Tuesday night last. We have only space, this week, to refer to the nominations iu general terms, and we believe never was a Convention more fortunate in the selection of its candidates. The gentlemen whom the partiality of the Convention has placed before the public as candidates, are in every way unexceptionable, and entitled to the confi dence and support of the party. We take _ t pleasure in presenting to our democratic Lriends a ticket of such high character, so well - serving of their support, and the success of which does not admit of a doubt.. On Thursday afternoon last, about 3 o'clock, the Bridge spanning the Sosqnehanna at this place was discovered to be on file, about midway in the east ',Pan. Though discovered, of course, almost in stantly after taking fire, such was the progress of the flames that by the time the fire aparatns could be got into execution the span wee beyond saving. The engine was placed upon the Budge and every exertion made to extinguish the flames, but to no avail,Xthe fire run with the greatest rapidity from timber to timber, and to the roof, in many plsces undernea h , where it could not be seen or reached. Aber a vigorous attempt, the exertions of the fire• men were shinnied to stopping the progress of the fire at the first pier. The flames were contested at this point, and the devoted,spfin was-speedily de vowed! by the devastating element, and fell into the water. This is the second time this parf.nt the Bridge has been burned. It is particularly unfortunate for the business interests of the borough, though ire have no doubt it will be rebuilt as speedily as pos sible. In the meantime, for the accommodation of !Wise wishing to cross, a Ivry jias been establish ed, and a floating bridgfor foot passengers will I be • (wide i so that no interruption to nal el w i.l be necessary. The origin of the fire is unknown. Various conjectures are current, but we believe nothing certain has been ascertained The probabilities are that it was accidental ! and caused by the case lessness of some one smoking., trgr The Whig County Convention which met at this place on Monday evening, placed in nomi nation the following ticket Representatioes—E.

The truth and justice of his remarks in regard to all roes- Cons of State policy, met the cordial response of every Demur rat present, and commendrd them• -dives to the jodgivient and consideration of every opponent The Governor then adverted to a ques tion whioli in this seelion, is exciting considerable interest, and abouf which there was Sothic. anxiety in hear hiB vietVg—ilae Repeal of the ItDugout Compronii,e, and ihetansas•Nebraslta law. This• finewinn he claimed Phould nut be connected with the Governaiorial contest. lie should be judged by his official .acts, and nprin diem stand Or fall The question wa• one fur which he Was not legiti mately responsible. The portion of his speech upon this rotbject was substantially the same as that 41 liver ril at Montrose the week previous, the 'report-of which wee submitted to the Governor and endorsed by him as correct. As that will convey his meaning more correctly than any report we might make, we copy it:— The lowa organizing.the territories of Nebraska and K. 1111.38 were next referred to by the Governor. He said that he was well aware that this the ab milbitia topic in ,the Northern part of the State— He said that officially he had no connection with the subject,—it wits not a part of the steward-hip for which he must accour.i, that he bad not cove nanted with the people to organize territories, nor in control the action of Congress on any question He should not claim for himself any of the honor that might flow from Congressional action on this or arty other subt••cl, and he did not intend to bear the respon , Libility, for this was the work of mem bers of Congress, and they must account for it to their constedents--that he should rot ask them, or the President to bear the responsibility of his er rors of Slate policy. He did his duty without con !tithing them and they certainly did not and ought not to take his word as a rule of action on any sub ject. He said he never had and probably never could have any official connexion with this sub ject, and that it was scarcely possible that the elec tion of a Governor, whoever might succeed, could Wave any influence upon the (trine policy of these terri'oriea. This much he thought it right to say as to his official relation to the question, but as a citizen and a member of the Democratic party, amongst whom a diverse) , of opinion exists on this subject, he should most cheerfully say what he thought about the question He did not think his views of special importance, for be made no pretensions to experience inNational politics, that from 1848 to 1850, however, he bad given the Slavery question some considetatiett. That the national controversy growing out of the attempt to adjust the question of slavery in territories acqui red from Mexico, absorbed all other topics arid seemed for a while to threaten the stability of our Natior al Union It was at that time that General Cass, the patriot and statesman, proposed the doc trine of non-interrention,—that Congress should forbear to act on the subject of slavery in the territories; and that the whole question should be referred to the people occupying the territories— that such territories at the proper time should be admitted as States with or without slavery as the people might decide. He said that he thought this doctrine wise and safe. He became its advocate it he had so said to the people in 1851, whe traveling the State as a candidate. All, however, remember that he endorsed the Compromise mea sures of 1850. That he was still the advocate of the doctrine ol non-intervention,—that he was:wil ling to trust the people with a question of morals or politics,—that he had more confidence in their judgment, patriotism and love of freedom than he had in that of Congress. Indeed, if we were to believe hail that is said of the impressible charac ter ol that body, we should be compelled to regard it as unsafe on any and all questions. He thought the reference of this vexed and dangerous question to the people well calculated to allay the excite. ment an _I give greater stability to our national confederacy. Arid as to, the extension ol slavery, he did not embrace the doctrine of non-interven tion, believing that it would extend the institution, —he believed just the reverse, that the tendency would be to restrict. to drive it south of the Missou ri line. That such was his estimation of the value of the Union, such his ideas of the blessings which it has bestowed on the American people—such the teessed influence which our institutions were exer cising in other parts of the world, that fur qne he was willing to labor for its preservation and 'be sa. caked if needs be to secure its perpetuity. Its ilieseu ion, in his opinion, would be the most horri ble calamity that could be befal both races,--it • wonlil be a sad calamity to the North and the Sotrh, to the master and to the slave. He next went on to say that had it beeu his be sinoss to organize the territories of Nebraska and Kansas, he should have done so in the terms of the Compromise acts of 1850, without disturbing the act of 1820. firing the Missouri lint. Whilst he said this he was also bound in candor to declare, that he did not believe that the policy of the territories would be different from what it will to under the present law...that he firmly believed that slavery could not extend there—that nine tenths of the peo ple wq,uld decide against it—that the laws of Na ture were not congenial to the institution—that some of the wisest opponents of the measure held this opinion. He said Ice never had and never should seek to extend or strengthen the nun/titian :Of slavery —that he regretted the existence of the institution as sincerely as any man j but he had and should maintain the clear constitutional rights of southern •as well as those of northern states. He should not ' acknowledge the overehadowirg influence talked about so much, whether that influence came from 'he south or the north. To the question by some one in the crowd, whether slavery did not exist in the territories at this time, he replied that it did not —that individual slaves might be there doing what white men directed them to do, but the institution was not there in any legal form and could not be with out express local law—that it had no legal existence there—that the constitution of the United States, .in his opidion, did not carry it there—that Congress had not and could not establish it there—that it could only derive a legal existence nom the total Me making power—that it was the creature of lawthat when the people of the territories constituted a law. making power—in the shape of a local legislature, that power, and that only, could give the institution legal existence in the territories—that he sincerely believed and hoped that when that power acted for 'those territories the institution would be rejected. He said he was)desirous of being sustained or condemned on his ofpn official acts—but he could beg on question of the Whig party—they had. a right to make all the capital they can out of theßeis of any member of the Democratic party, and or e it as an objection to all but not so amongst mem• bare of the same party—within the family each should be held responsible for bis own acts. If de. mocratic members of Congress bad voted wrong, that Wes no reason why democrats should strike dome' a dimeennic Governor it• he has done right. Difference on great National questions is very common. We have differed about the Tariff, and now shout the Homestead bill, but that la no reason why we should reject the state administra t dolt if it be a good one. This argument might - do for the Wbigs but it will not answer for democrats. It the democratic party are defeated, it will be claimed all over the Union as a'Whig triumph, and nothing more or lees, except that the Whigs, - - Natives and Know Nothinas may dispute as to who prod aced the resell. He said he had not been an agent to the repeal-of thersifissonrk.Cromproraise, and thOw who cas!their °obi for him, did" not thire pre, by any fair anittruction, indorse it, He would have organwed 14-territories. could he have cored/al it, wider the act of 1850, and net clistnthr the Missou• Congressional Conference.

GROW was unanimously nonsinated_for so election to Congress, The following resolutions were teen nnanimous• ly adopted .Resoiccd, That the restriction tot the spread of Slavery container! in the Missouri Compromise, rested upon the early and eameSt policy of the fa. them of the Republic., and that - the repeal of that restriction, in the act of Congress organising the territories of Kansas and Nebraska, was a direct innovation of that policy, a breach of tai h between the two sections of the Union, a violation of every principle of justice and humanity, ani a determ in. ed attempt to: overturn the settled maxims of the government, and establish in their stead consti• rational coustructions subversive of the rights and guarantees of freedom. Resolved, That we cordially approve of the course of our' representative in Congress, Mr. Grow, and especially do we commend his course in resisting the repeal of the Missouri Compromise. He has reflected honestly and with fidelity the views of his constituents, the best evidence of which, as well as of their determination to resist this outrage upon their rights and principles, is his unanimous renomination.

Towanda, Sept. 1, 1854 • Ron At NEWARK —The American Priatestant Association assembled at Newark, N.J., Tuesday, to celebrate the first sitting of the American Con gress. The various lodges of the order in New Jersey were in attendance, and there were also several from New York and neighborhood. It is estimated that there *ere at least three thousand persons in attendance. A precession was formed, which marched through the principal itroninghlares, and at noon a dinner was partaken of. Nothing occurred to mar the scene uritif afternoon, when, at the procession passed through one of the sfreets, ft encountered a crowd of opponents, who saluted it with derisive shouts, and finally a stone was thrown, which' shack one of the Protestants. Just at this moment, as it is related, several , shots were fired from a 110Mati Catholic ChurCh in the immediate vicinity. The procession broke for the church in stantly, and in a short .time completely sacked its interior, despoiling the altar, and rendering_ it a complete ruin.. A building from whence the first attack was made was also assaulted. A number of persons on both sides were badly kW. Through the exertions of the officers of the procession; the body reformed, and proceeded on. he way.

Mr. Etwrem. then offered the following resola Lion . 1. Rewired, That the Democracy of Bradford county have undiminished confidence in ow State Administration, and that Wm. Bigler, oar worthy nominee for Governor, by his wise economy and financial policy, by his manly firmness in resisting both the organization and encroachment of mo nopolies!, by his untiring perseverance in urging forward the completion of our public works, acd above all, by his sound Democracy, inflexible pa triotism, and strict integrity, is entitled to, and shall receive in the coming gubernatorial contest, our hearty, earnest, and cordial support. 2. Rewired, That Jeremiah S. Black, our candi• date for Judge of the Supreme Court, and Henry S. Mott, our candidate for Canal Commissioner, are eminently fined for the stations for which res pectively they have been nominated, and• that the ,tried Judicial capability and integrity of the one, and the burliness qualifications and experience of the other, endorsed by their firm attachment to Democratic principles, should ensure their trinni phant election. 3.
