cluded; from anything we could find in its
columns, that the editor does not know
that a Presidential election is' apprOach
ing. It has neither a -candidate nor an
electoral ticket; and we' therefore advise
the editor to cease meddling with his
neighbor'saffairs, until, at least, he can see
out of the woods. , • •
Wheirthe unfortunate rupture occurred
at Baltiniere, we decided to take no Part
in a fruitless controversy,- until the practi
cal question of an electoral ticket vas
dis
posed of; and in so doing we receive the
approval ofall cool-headed, reflecting Dern-,

We are obliged 'to the Herald fories

that there are, to-day, mice as many
Breekiiiridge men, in this county, as there
aro Douglas men in Bradford.
If the " preponderance" is tio large why
has. not the Herald courage enough . to
hoist Douglas, or at le:ist, an electoral
ticket: But perhaps it awaits the forma-'
Lion of ForneY's electoral ticket, which is
tlesigned to draW off Democratic votes I
enough to give • the State to Lincoln—a
theme which will most decidedly •fail.

course, a but can assure the editor that
such ,a bastard can get no votes here; and
we belie -bthe only advlicateof the thing
in the distriet,liveiin Bradford county, and •
he will find it necessary to put himself on
the electoral ticket, and vote for himself--
alone. -We suppose he is the author of

people in November nexit.
The readers of the Patiliot & 'Union will
f Mar witness that our course on the Presi

disastrous National Convention, has been

Democratic . candidate for President, we
were willibg to-support hintin•good Nth
had le received the ,nomination in con
tormity with the usage, of the party:
When the Convention met- at Charleston
1 it Was manifest to every Calm observer of
• the state Ot feelin§; in the party' that Mr.
Douglas could not be nominated by a
two r thirds vote, and that, his nomination
by= any other -means would create a fatal
diVisioti in the party. A.desire for bar
-many should have dictated his withdraw
al when this fact became plain to- his .
frietrds and supporters; but instead of
acting' upon the`palpable truth . that he
was the only obstacle in the way of a
united 'Democracy, his claims were pushed
with a desperation and. an energy which
.scented to prefer a- diVided party with
him; to a united party without him. The
history of tlit,'Oh.arleston and Baltimore
,
Conventions need' not to he rewritten. It
is already familiar to - the country. Mr.
Douglas received a nomination at Bald-.
more, but not a nomination in conformity
with Democratic usages. It Was a nomi
nation procured at the terrible cost of a
division of the Democratic,party, mid by
the abandonment of the two-thirds rule
soleimily adopted at Chaileston.•
On the balloting at Baltimore for can
didates for President, the' number of votes
reqUired to nominate, under the rule of
the Convention • was 202. The highest
vote \cast for Mr. Deuglaii was 180; or 22
less than the required :number. Of these
a considerable number were cast by ,tates
rep*nted by bogus delegations ist i rmig,,-
admitted into the Vonvention.
other cases the 'delegations voted k pcier
the unit rule-against the ',choice of con
siderable number ,of its members, 4 that
of -the real delegates actually prettrring
Douglas as a muididate, there wits not
even a plurality-152-0f a full Conven
tion. Yet we are told Olathe is the regular
nominee of . the party.
The -nominee of Mr. Douglas being
without, the binding force of regularity,
-and Mr. Breckinridge being in:the same
position, Democrats are free to support
that candidate whosepolitical views,whose
-character, whose associates more nearly
conform. to their individual views and im
ptilSes. Between the two men we de
cidedly prefer-Mr. Breckinridge. We be
lieVe that be. is a safer and better man,
morally and intellectually—that'be would
adniinister.the aovernment With a more
steady purpose—that he would he coun-1
selled . by a higher-toned class of r, public
men than Mr. Douglas, and in short, that
his character combines more of the digni
fied and patriot fitatesmaii and less of the
intriguing polite an than; that of his.rival.
He always: Maintained that modesty
of deportment which is inseparable front
tine greatness—never thrusting his name
,before the public or entering into the
political arena as a struggling competitor
for the crown.. 'Public , honors have al
waYs souglit hirri,• not he public honors.
He-was nominated as a Pemocratmean

In thus declaring our

we do not wish to detract from the merits

The political positionorMr.Breckinridge
has been assailed with unusual rancor and
malignity. The man whose. every pulsa
tion beats in response to the Union senti
ment of the country; who never uttered
a Word of disloyalty to the union of these.
States, but who haS,-since his nomination,
declared that his desire is to .'strengthen
and lengthen the Non," is recklessly de
nounced as a disonionist :by men who
never shared a tithe of his disinterested
patriotism. This charge only confirms the
malignant folly of his eberiiies. :Mr. Breck;
in ridge and his supporters are alio . charged
with,abandoning the Democratic doctrine
of Npx-mrunmrrmi With slavery in the :
Territories, and of insisting upon . inter.;:
mention for the protection of slavery. by,
the adoption of a:slave code, - The term
non-intervention is' often used without a
proper understanding. of its purport... If
we turn to .the Kong:is-Nebraska . act We
- find a definition of non-intervention in the
following: words : . .
- .
"Thal It ii the true intent and meaning eff AL* act, not
to legislate yarery into any Territory or Stale ;,nor to ea ,
elude - it Oerefrom. hut to kegs the people thernynetiectlyfrie
to form.and re !pilule their , institutions fn their own way,
euJect only to the Gionetitatton of the United Stales."
I According to this definition, interven
tion is the act of legislating shivery into a
'territory or exeludnig it therefrom. The
Republican party 'declare their intention
to exclude shivery from ,'the Territories—
and this is intervention. row If Mr,
Breckinridge \ and those who act with tini
propose to "'legislate slavery into State or
Territory," they would be interventionists,
.and recreant to the Democratic principle
of non-intervention. But do - they propose
to do so? When:has even the most ultra
southern man ever suggested that• Co
ngress should pass an act lgislating slavery
into a Territory? The furthest that ally
of them go, is to insist that ape! shivery
F has been introduced , into a Territory. by
lawful means that it shall be secured
against uirronstitutional attempts at ex.-
chision—in other words, that it shall re
ceive the protection due to every kind of
property rightfully held. This poSition
does not destroy the principle of non
interventiog, as declared in the 'Kansas-
Nebraska act, theloendation stone of the
doctrine.
But neither Mr. Breckinridge "Irr his
supporters -take the Position that Con
gress should pass a slave codes - for the pro
tection of slavery in the Territories. .When
the Senate resolutions were under dis
cussion, Mr. Brown of MissisSippi, offered
an amendment - fav'orable ti) the adoption
of laws for the protection of slavery, and
it received lint' three votes.—Putriot

Iv ASIEIRCA."—:Thi S is the doctrine of the -
Republican party.. It Was 'boldly pro=
claimed in Brooklyn at the mass meeting
of their party for the purpose of dedica
ting a wigwam' one evening last week.
"Lord Grey was right," said the orator,
"when he declared in the British Parli
Inept that GoVernMent•had prOvedsa fail
ure in America." The sentiment was re
ceived with unbouoed applause, and en
cored again and again. „The - orator, was
Geo. V. Ciirtis---the audience were the
leaders and rank antl file of the Black Re
! publican party, Let no one contend.here
after that this party is •in favor of our
country—of her independence, her consti
tution or , her They would rather
subvert onr - Gosiernment, trample our in=
stitutions in the dust-,-tear down the mon
; uments of our greatness, . and onr glory,

1 1 a party after such a proclamation of its
tenets and its principles, they. are 'indeed
unworthy to be free men.
