“ Gov. Brown went on to state that ho regarded
this as a solemn pledge on tho part of Mr. Bu

woak in the back,’ be believed he would stiok up
to it. Whenever he (Gdv. Brown) plighted his
faith to aby man,* he always stuck to it, and he In-;
tended to hold Mr.- Bnohanan to his declaration.”

Bat when he chooses to track back—when he' tikes
these dishonoring steps backward—you. are right in’

[Cheers ] Suppose Owen Jones had been the represen

himself to jthero, as he has, committed himself to you,
on certain great» leading principles of government, of
self-gorhrnmont—measures too, concerning thtlr bome
(otereste; and suppose* going into the council-chambers
or the nation, ho had there publicly and repeatedly
failed In his doty and broken his trait, what do yon
think the men of the South would have done? Why, bo far
from receiving ft nomination for re-election, he would
h*re> been v xpoMeiTfrrai their confidence;.' They would
have sald'to.bim:/* No | you have been faithless to os;

the suppose Owen Jones had acted for a
Sotltborn commuaity as that gallant man across the
line, John, Hickman,'his aoted for' his' cod tltuency,
[great applause]; suppose ho had stood unawed byFeds
ral patronage, unsubdued by iho.blandiihment# of the
capital,nniernAed before the arrogance' and bnliyiam
of the reigning. majority, how vronld his constituency
baVe received him t ' Factions would have fallen before
bloi; .there would have' been no opposition to bitn.' 3So;
all parties, all sides, all men, and .all opinions woo Id
have been captivated by his proud and peerless example.
Yet .the- Democratic conrenifpfl. of .did Montgomery—
packed,' I will not say how—has placed Owen Janes
before the people for' re-election.-> Herice it Is that he
becomes ft proper subject for disouuion and examina
tion. And inasmuch as he has conceived it to be his
dutyto allude to apesk of the* Course- which I
have preferred to take as against him on. the last phase
of his ‘ao*ion‘in Congress, it la right that I should ap
pear before ymt on. this occaatou. ' . 1 ;m
, ,As I hare mentioned, after ibe earlier struggle In Oco
grCai upon the Leobmpton Constitution, be came from
Washington [l never shall forget tbodajl and said to
many,Democrats, and men of other parties, “I adhere to
the doctrine'upou which we were Committed in 1666 and
will boldly fight Lecompton in all, jts Shapes ” . these
were the assurances which he made in explanation ofbls
vote in fivorof the conference I was rejoiced to hear of
this resolution; I was glad to know that he was dptar.
mined to stick to the right, and I determined to stand
by hlm.> At .the, La Pierre House, where he was then
staying, [thpre are »boae present who will recollect it,]
he was called upon by many of the most prominent De
’Xnoorata la, Philadelphia, and congratulated upon his
position. He felt, he, looked, he acted then like an ho
nestmon. • *' ’ “ *
He returned to. Watftfngtoh, Ilsrdly bad he Been
there two or three days when I received a telegraphic
’despatch calling f6r bay presence at Washington, on im
portant business; . Arriving in that.oily, I met ( our
friends, who said u Jones is shivering I Jones is gone ! ”
What!”, said I, 1 “this matt who has'Just pledged
himself to his people at home that he would die rather
than desert the stand he had taken for the right—he
gone !” :.•< Tea,” warf the reply; "the Administration'
,arebuying bulging, and> terrifying all round bant
Jones is gone. Goto see him ” “No, no.”‘l aasvor
ed, “ never jtodoubt In sacha cause as this is to be
doubly damned.” A few days afterwards, in the Hpujo
of Representatives, (those who were present will never
forget the scene,) when the name of the Bepresinta
tlve of this gallant district was called, he stood there,
and whimpered his vote through white and shirtring
lips, direotly in the facwof hi* recent and public pro
mises. . .
Why, then, did not the Democratic party of this
-district, In solemn convention assembled, tura this man
out to grass? Why did they not say to him, as they
ought to have said, tbathewaa'anworthyor their sup
port ? But, thank God, there are, lam proud to say,
Democrats now listening to me who refuse to give their
approval to so ihlthtess <* servant, No matter how nu
merous or how powerful tho means which may be put
in operation td procure his success; there is a deep and
stern determination on the part of the people to rebuke
him as hedese-'vrs cheers.]
•• In the mldatofthe exciUment prevlous to this in
glorious act of desertion on the part of-Bfr. Jones, I
visited Norristown for the purpose of relating i lec
ture. While there; I saw many gentleman belonging to
both parties, and I<was rejoiced to know and to feel the
hearty Unanimity with which he was supported. I am
not here to mention names; but ocrtalnly, some of
those who are now arrayed under his banner wore then
arrayed under bis banner. He has changed bis posi
tion sine? \ yet they stlU stand by him! Returning to
Philadelphia, I said to Mr. Jonos, <> I have seen yonr
constituents; I have seen the leaders of the Deihocra
tio party; I have met them face to faoe | and they are
foryou. Stand true to tho truth, and you will be sus
tained by your own party. ”
And I have nodoubt that the seeds then sown will
produce good fruits. All of these gallant men have
not concluded to go with hira. They will, doubtless,
be at the ballQtrbox on the 12th of October; though
they may notpresont themselves to speak against him,
they wilt do that which is probably better—;they will
vote against him [Applause ]
When I view the oourse of this gentleman/! ain re
minded of a fable, familiar, doubtless, to you . all, but
of striking applicability. On one occasion a viper aud
a tortoise met on'the banka of a rough, ragged, and
stormy torrent, Thp viper was exceedingly anxious
to cross to the other side, and he. said to the ♦''rtoiss,
“ I shell be very much obliged to you, if ym» will sorry
me over on. your book.”- The tortoise s*ia, “I have
bosh thinking of crossing mysolf. You see the condi
tion of the water.; it' is extremely dangerous. It may
.bo that even in going over alone I shall be cast away,
and, certainly, I cannot encumber myself with a pas
senger like you,”’ ‘f But,” urged the viper, ”I shall
esteem it os a great nod lasting favor—one tobere*
tterabiired.' , 'Bomfl of these days, when’you'are in diffi
culty, I will come forward to help y^.,. One good turn
deserves another. Give me your aid, let me mount on,
yonr hard shell, and'go oker with you.”’
■ .After muoh persuasion (the tortoise consented, and the
'vlper'rn'ouhted. The struggle In orossiog-was fearful:
thß wind blew, and the waren ran high ;* out finally, by
means of vast pain and labor on the part of the tortoise,
'they reached the other'side, when, justaitbavmoment,
the tortoise detected the viper in/ the «ot of stinging
hjm. “Why,yon dastardly ingrate!” .exclaimed tho
-'tortoise, “after I have, at the risk of my life, carried’
yon across this turbid stream, laterally saving you from
drowning, then, just as you gst safe on dry land, I de
teot you In the act of stinging me; and but for the ar
mor with which God and nature have clothed me, you
would have stung to death.” “Oh!”
said the vlpar; u It is not ray. fault} It is try nature.”

In regard to the great qneatfon of popular sovereignty,
which in this contest, Is immediately in issue. T have
this to say, that, no matter how Administrations may*
rate, notaatter how organisations may decide, tbe
(s coming, the day has come, when that principle—that
single^simple, mked principle—will prevail over all
combinations. I know that there .has beea a contest'
between the two great politics! parties of this country
on the subject of Crngressionftl Intervention and popu
lar sovereignty. I wish to say to my R-publ can f lends
and my American friends, who may be prefen' that the
dav for Congressional intervention bn* past-ed and eono
The vote thrown by.the Republicans and Americans, in
the la£fc Oongrfert, against the English bill; and in favor
or the Oritteoden-Montgomery amendment, settled. th<L
question -Tho pollftyof the Country,'henceforth aud 1
forever, is to allowtbe peoplo of the Territories, as tbo
people of the States are allowed, to deolde upon all
their domestic Institutions, slavery- included, fAp
plause.] Let mo not be told by any one rf those who
adhere to the old idea of Congressional intervention,
that popular sovereignty Is ft delusion, a hnmbug jit
is not. The people of Kansas have given a nohleliliis
tratjon of .its power. What have wo seen in that Ter
ritory? We have soeu \ people, en unofficial people, a
people without offices, a people without power yet
strong enough, with this, doctrine of popular sove
rnlgnty In the'r handfi, to put down the armyof-th'd
United Btates qnartored in their midst—an army of
mercenaries—ay, and to fltrht an Administration in the
height ofits power. ” With 1 nearly a hundred*million
dollars of patronage por anntimthrownsgalnstthdm.'
with the Administration organization in every Btate of
the Union thrown against them; this irapoverJfhPd paoi
pie, this people without power, have triumphed over
all opposing influences. Will yon tel! me th*ta prind
pie'thus powerful, a prinolple thus irresistible, is a
delusion ? No; come to it now, for you must come to
It at last.
- This is one of the great issues in this contest; this,
in connection with another of which I shall presently
•peak, ia the immediate issqe, so far as Owen Jones is
cofickmed. The South stands solemnly committed to
this principle' the North Is solemnly committed to it:
the organizations of both parties are solemnly Com
mitted to it, by the votes of their Representatives in
Congress 5 and therefore, gentlemen, you will do wrong
if you allow yourselves to be led awav by any other
'theory.’'lt sAems to'me that I hear the footsteps of the
future, and see theprinclpln borne up in the hands of
millions of men. We of the free North should'be de- '
:lud6d, should be disgraced, did we not take advantage
of the opportunity whichie thus presented tous. ‘ ,J "‘-
Take another vietf of this matter. See how the Fede*
ral Administration Is arraying Itself sgathsttbis privcl
ple j observe the arrogance aod the arspotjsm of that' '
Administration. Why, gentlemen, In all histnrv, there
has been nothing like it; no oivHis’d ate.hfm
soob A'spectacle. Should an English ministry resort to
such means to pat down Independent men as have been
resorted to by this Admta'stratton, there would be a riot
in the streets of London; such a ministry would be
ejeoted amid infinite disgrace and shame.

whole career, that if ever beshould have an opportu

chanan had before him a future that might hav6‘ rung
with the hosannas of a grateful pooplo, and-been illu
minated by the smile of an 1 approving fu
ture such as Washington himself might almost have en
vied—a future which should place him side by side with
the Baviour ot bis Country. - History would have award
ed hitq.thls position, had he allowed her to record the
peiforraanot of two noble acts: One, that he had vin
dicated the great prino’plo that the people of a Ter

affairs in their own way—that plain, practical, yet glo
rious principle; the other, that be had taken care of
Pennsylvania—that he bad gtaddooed' the hearts of
thousands and tens of thousands of laborers—that he had
protected the great interests to which he had sworn so
many solemn vows.
But no, no. In the midst of,a panic such as this
country has never witnessed before—such as. I trust in
God, we shall never see again—when it 'seemed as
though the aogel of devastation had swept over our
happy land, distilling moral dwease and death from his
blackening wings; in that hour, where ate d, our cham
pion ? Where stood our President? ‘lntriguing to
keep the people of Kansas from exercising tho fair
right to vote ! While the laborers of Pennsylvania,
aod their witSs and their children, were holding up
their hands to him imploring assistance, what was be
doing? Talking about turning out, certain small
office-holders who happened not to be in favor of Le*
comcton !
When your furnaces stood still} whan the blackness
of dospalr had Battled down upon our. great cities, hud
poor toon were straggling for tho mesnß of livelihood,
scarcely knowing where to obtain tbo broad with which
to feed their families, what then occupied the attention
or him who had promised to he onr benefactor ? He waa,

through that State! This Leooroptonlsm has been the

There have been expressions with regard to revealing

omitted to state. On tbo day tVst Congress organized;
last December, and when the annual message had not jot

lay upon the table in print. The train was to start in
the evening bearing the document to the newspapers of
the East "We had a long, and', as I have stated, a
painful interview He referred me to bis message.
Speaking of that, I said, "Mr. Buchanan, have you
1 said anything on the tariff question ?” ‘*Ko, I have
not.” *< Well,” I xepliod, though your Kansas policy

demonstration in Pennsylvania, and would have broken'
the force of the inevitable blow that must fall upon
the other portion of your policy ” ” This tariff of
1857,” said he, “has not yet been tested ”
Gentleman, thatwas the moment for 'the application
of a remedy; ,then, when our people were in need of it.
But while Mr. Owen Jooos, olpthed in his purple and
fine linen, with pockets foil of money, was deliberating,
how lie should cheat the people of Kansas, and cheat

has been perpetrated, Mr. Owen Jones and Me. J.

the speaker proceeded to advocate a tariff for the pro

have both capital and labor so much .pheaper than we,
wo must shield ourselves from their ruinous competi

In regard to Congressional affairs, the speaker re
marked that tbo reason the Booth hex so often obtained

Jdns J. the next speaker.
He said that one so young as he might be counted
bold Inattemotlng to fo'low those older and abler men
who had already,spoken.' But he remembered that (as
Cicero relates.) the young men of Rome, when they at
tained the age of maturity, took a solemn oath, upon
the altar of their country, that when conspiracy should
seek to underoilne'th.* destitutions of their own loved
nation, they would raise themselves for her defence ip
all tho strength of their manhood, be the hazard what
it might, Thus, to-day,.when the Democratic prjocl
ples, in which he had been trained, were threatened by
adversaries who aimed at their overthrow, he felt, im
pelled tq.raise.hia unpractised voice and speak put his
deep convictions.,
, He, then entered at some length Into a defence of the
principle of,popular sovereignty, alluding to its enun
ciation in the compromise measures of 1860, its re-aa
section in the Kausas-NobraskA bill, aud Its attempted
negation and abandonment In the Lecompton Conssitu-, t
tion and the English bill. The unfair and oppressive'
chartctero.r there two mesaures was fully exposed.
IV hen Owen Jones had proved false to the grand
fundamental .doctrine of our Institutions—lending
his aid to its prostration and extinction—-help
ing, as far as his vote'could help, to destroy,the
gre&tpopularrightof self-government-how could they
cast a ballot Id bis favor, thus counteasoclog cud ap
proving the violation of a sacred principle? A free
people, wlse’y regardful of their safetv, should
look with' hearty disfavor on any attempt to invade,
however slightly, their constitutional rights Junius
had said, in words of warning, to the .English nation :
“ Never suffer an Invasion of your political constitution,
however minute the instance may appear, to paiß by
without a determined and persevering resistance One
precedent creates another; they soon accumulate, and'
constitute law. What yesterday was fact, to-day is
doctrine. Examples are supposed to justify the most
dangerous measures; and where they do not suit ex
actly, the defect Is supplied by analogy.” Should we
not profit be this advice? Bbould we not, from the
downfall of other rations, learn the lesson of vigilance ?
But this mighty principle of popular sovereignty, the
speaker thought, must, m spite, of all efforts to crush
It, advance with increasing and triumphant power. He
felt assumed that on the 12th of Oo*ober It will receive
from the people an emphatic endorsement. ' [Loud ap
plause.]
n On tho conclusion of Mr. MoElhono's speech, the
meeting adjourned with many enthusiastic demon
strations.

And who knows but that Comet there
Is some poor'cow’s apotheosis—
. That trail of light which we survey,
The tail she frbka along the skyj! - ; .
Perhaps she’s for the Milky Wsy,'
To keep Its stream from running dry.
Ha! nearer comes this star of stars;
Our optic tubes distinctly show
A Obinaintn who sold cigars
In Chestnut street some days ago.

Bis locg capillary attraction..
Incensed, says mercury to vans,
This chap has quaffed too deep a sup
