men, to say by their votes who shall , fill the

.be more difficult, Should bad myft be elect

places could be supplied by men ot different
' character ; but in the present contest men are •
lost sight•of in the great question-4f the right
of.the people to govern themselves,to regulate
their own institutions in their oin way. The..

and would trampliit tinder foot in case they

. When the nigger' Demaciacy found that

The importnce of having a majority in the

Mr: Yancey's chief regret seems to be,
that he has s said something in his Slaughter

What he now chooses to say that he ex

"-I do not expect Virginia to take any ini

and a well-considered Southern policy, (a pot- I
icy which has-been digested and understood

A part of the misuion of the Republican
party is to combat the heresy .embodied in
the foregoing extracts. If it shall ever
shirk that duty that moment it will 'be,
shornof 'its vitality, and sink into deserved
obscurity and contempt.
There are,-nevertheless, those outside of

counsel, this to enable them to cooperate
With the Republican party. When their

The Republicans, either as individuals . or
as a party. can never sanction the doctrine
that slavery can exist in any Territory or in

Row4he Republicans Carried Maine
We ticlvented last week to the noble result
achieved by the - Re - publicans. of Maine, and.
commentled it as.an example for imitation.
iro attain the same ends, it needs only organ-
How the Maine Republicans pre
pared air the battle and won the victory, the
following from the Evening Post will show.
The Post says :
Maine-has a very -large extent of sea
coast, and a more formidable army of cus
tom-house officers in the service;-of-the Ad.;
ministration, in proportion to her population,
if we are not mistaken, than any other State._
The victory over this well-trained,,unscrupu
lops horde, equipped with unlimited supplies
of federal money and other electioneering
ammunition, must be attributed in, a large
measure to the active and thorough canvass
ing cartied on by the Republican party:—
Emulating the tactics o \ f the adversary, they
have kept. at their Central headquarters a
register - of the number of voters in' every
town of the State, carefully classified accord
ing to the shades of their politics., From
many-towns they had a list of the names, a
statement of the political antecedents, •
of every elector, and no honorable -means
were left untried to supply the desired in
formation- and obtain the fullest possible
vote. - Every chairman of a town or district
committee was notified of, the exact, quota 'of
votes which was ?netted from the region
under his supervision. In short, in no other
State has there been anything like the per
'feet system of organization' so memorably
-exemplified during three successive cam:
paigns and against so fearful odds; and•notiv
nig would more insure a Republican triumph
in New York than a aireful study of its de:
tails, to which an additional interest is
parted from the fact that the plan was orig.
inaly borrowed from New' York, and • that
its paternity' is. ascribed to Mr. Van Buren."
HE DON ' T DENY does not deny
that he wrote the letter to Mr. Stantonfront
which we publishell an. extract a week or so
ego, and the Washington Union explains it
by complaining of a breach of confidence in
publishing a-private letter.: Here is,the ex
tract:
"Make my special 'regards to Governor
Walker, and say to him that lie has thi pop-
War heart with him throughout - the country_
except only the extreme Son& Should his
programme 'succeed, he wilLhave the most en
viable prominence of any mezn•in the notion.
The Administration ie a little weak the
knees, and winces under the Southern thun
der, lad they must stand up to the work."
Since the author of this choice morsel
wrote this to Stanton, he has, become as
weak at the knees" as the Administration,
and he " winces under the Southern thunder"
as much as Buchanan. klie. will hear some
Northern thunder this fall that will huike
him .wince still inori.--garrisburg Tel.
DROPPED THE Num—We. understand
that.our Democratic cotemporaries, in view
of the tact that they have heretofore bitterly
opposed' the participation of clergymen in po

required to speak of. him will either dub him
"Hon." in advance, or call
,him plain Jerry-.
The PARSON is a very estintable, man, we
believe t and is none.the lit'orso -for being a

ter a few weeks of this treatment he was to
return to Paris, when the fire was again to be
applied. It is too early as , yet to say what
may be the result. If pain . and suflbring,
borne with heroie endurance, could insure
health; he certainly would have it. - Mean..
