Stephen A; Douglas, of Illinois.
It must be said Of &mem A. DOUGLAS,
even by those who are, in - the habit of as
cribing motives to; or of assailing the motives
of our public men, that he has the daring Jo
originate, and the courage to defenii, some of
the most startling ideas ot the day. His whole
',public career has been, so to speak, a career of
Sensations. We remember well when, shortly
;titter his first appearanCe in Congreea, he took
issue with lons QuisOlt ADAMS on the dis
puted boundary question between Mexico
and the United State's, and when he ex
'Sorted from that distinguished patriot a gal
' lint, yet a reluctant, tribute of praise. The
young Representative was an over-match for
the old , statesman, and although Mr. Avers
did not tiaiit, ho might have said t
Great lot 1110 oral him, for ho conque'reS me."
His defence ot General Tamales, in regard
to tits fine imposed by Judge 'HALL, prior to
the battle of Nett Orleans, was the only real
solution of a most vettatiouti problem, and the
sago of the Hermitage admitted it so to be to
hls dying day. 'His course during the Corn
, Inomiee measures, in 'lB5O, Was marked by a
series of dashing and novel demoustrationS.

In 1864, when he proposed to repeal the Mis

Vomproniise measures of 1860, ho was ready to

bill repealing :the Missouri Compromise,
the country knowii. It was a great expert

of the North ; but Dimas, believing : himself

bitter struggle, apitk.from the.mere measure
itself, were a succession of wonderful in
tellectual triumphs, and hiS final speech' on
that bill, In March of 1854, cr4wded with
points, and calculated to awaken the enthusi
asta of his friends, almost conquered his ene
mies, by the audacity and daring of Its style,
and its argument. These enemies said he
would not be true to his pledges in 1854. But
he was. " • ' '
In 1866 he sent his cohorts to Cincinnati,
- Mid opposed Janes 1313011ANAN. Backed by
the South, he 'demanded that his Nebraska

pliati this result. Shortly after the inaugura
tion of BUCHANAN, and as if to show that the
latter was disposed to try his late rival, he
conolnded to attempt the hazardous experi
ment of violating his pledges to the DonozAs
principle laid down in 1856. The result was a
natural result. The rebellious spirit of Dourizas
rose at this movement of Buommtri's, and in
Deoember of 1867 the former drew the sword
upon the latter in a speech of memorabbibeld
mess, and of unparalleled power. Here again
was another step to startle the country. Here
was a single man grappling with an Administra
tion freshly entrenched in office,—a man too,
whose re-election to tho Senate was coming
off in the very next year, and wbo could only
run for re-election as a Democrat. ' What en
sued is universally familiar. The Adrainiatia
tion came out of the contest with ad"varinna
victory. The Senator from Illinois went back:
to his constituents opposed by the Administra
tion and the Republicans, carried his State,
beat his adversaries, and re-elected himself to
the highest legislative posithin in the world.
The doctrines he laid down in his contest in
Illinois had awakened Intense hostility in the
South, among the • extreme advocates. of sia:.
very, and a no less embittered hostility in the
North among the extreme opponents' of sla
very. The Administration threw itself into
the melee. Tho paid pen of a most profligate
Attorney General was employed by the Pros
'dent to insult the Democratic party, and to
poison the reputation of STEPHEN A. DonnAs
. for standing by the principles of that party,

themselies to the opprobrium of their .race,
united in the wild halloo. Almost alone, save
where aided by a gallant volunteer like RE
VENUE JOHNSON, of Maryland, DOUGLAS won
the good tight, and put his adversaries to the
wall, writing the truths ho had spoken even
upon what he supposed to be his dying bed.
Much that SzErnan A. DOUGLAS has done
in all these things has not met our approba
tion. Some of his movements during the Lc.
compten battle we have resisted and opposed.
We do not agree with him in an unconditional
submission to the decree of the Charleston Con
_vention. It may be that circumstances will
Slid us hereafter radically opposed, ono to the
other, but, In comparing him with other public
men, we are compelled to say that we admire
the aggregate of his character. We do not
believe the Charleston Convention will nomi
nate him. We do not think that body is wise
enough to appreciate the destiny of the Demo.
cratic party; and we think the Republicans,
In their assaults upon ROULAS, have commit
ted a great blunder in considering him merely
as the representative of an organization,
and not of a principle. Any man may go with
en organization, bat he who attaches himself
• to a living truth cannot desert it, whether he
rill or no, and DOUGLAS is identified with a
truth not only as "an dent as free government
Itself," but essential to the perpetuity of our
present republican institutions.
The speech of Judge Donnas published in

nently characteristic of the man. ITo sug
gests a new remedy for a new and an
unexpected disease. He begins by taking
.Issue with the 'President of the United
Stated, who has commended himself, by
rodent demonstrations, to the warmest re
gards of the Southern extremists. We have
no space, to-day, to examine into the princi
ples of the remedial measurer proposed by the
Senator from Illinois. It is evident from
Oat' has transpired, that they are to bo
assailed bitterly on one or the other side. At
all'events, be has sustained his whole charac
ter by Infusing vitality into all organizations,
and by offering a new theme for the considera
tion of those politicians who generally wait for
the cue before they speak, and who are fre
quently grateful, even to an enemy, who will
• give them a good chance to convince their
constituents that they are still in the land of
the living.

Thaekeray and Tennyson,
We have 'road the fiat number of The Cern
hill
Magazine, edited by Tit/team:ay. It is a
bulky octavo, in a gay orange paper-cover,
on which is an emblematic title, representing
ploughing, sowing, reaping, and thrashing—
the
rural occupations of the four seasons, and
therefore, it seemoth unto us, not exactly
suited to a Magazine which takes its name
from a great thoroughfare in the city of Lon
don. Itts the very "Stout Gentleman" of
Magazines; as thick ari one of PETERSON'S fifty
cents novels. Its own proper :quantity of 128
pages being added to by over 60 pages of ad
vertisements, for which, no doubt, such a high
charge would be made as would cover much
of the expense of the number. N. B.—ln
England, periodicals are not usually sent
through the post office, as with us, so the ex-
Ira bulk . and weight are unimportant.
Tirmixnuar has certainly given a cheap
shilling's worth. We do not mean the tradi
tionary, nen-existent coin, variously known as
a ninepenny in Boston, a shilling in New York,
and (still worse) as a levy in Philadelphia, but
an English shilling, containing twenty-four
cents of our money—a little less • than our
quarter. Neither in quantity of letter press,
nor in quality and number of illustrations,
does the Cornhill Magazine come within a
long way of Harper's. But, for an English
magazine, ft is wonderfully .cheap--almost
equal in quantity to Blackwood, Fraser, and
Bentley, and not beneath either of these in
literary merit. CALLENDER & CO. are the
agents for ft in Philadelphia.
Timms:Alt himself commences two series
here. One a ROTOI . called “Lovel the Wi-
do*er," the other chitty and diteursive, en
titled "Roundabout , Papers." ANTRIM
TROLLOPE opens with three chapters of a tho
roughly English novel called Framley Par
sonage"—FßANK MAROKEY ("Father Prout ")
is there with an Inaugurative Ode— and
Several other well-known hands are also visible.
There is a good sketch of LIIICR HUNT, which
represents him not•at all like DICKENS' Herold
'*kimpole. In fact, not to enumerate all the
contents, this new Magazine is very good, and
'over 70,000 copies of the first number have
been sold. • This may not seem very many,
compared with the pale of periodicals hero—
with Harper's 200,000 and C. T. Peterson's
75,000-,but it is wondrously large for "the
old country" where the circulation of Black
wood, the best British magazine, is not quite
10,000.
TRACKERS:4 has engaged ALFRED TENNYSON
to writes poem for the second number. There
is a new periodical, called McMillen's .2Wage.
rise, edited by Professor Maims, which in its
January number had a poem of about 800 lines,
for which, report says, the remarkable sum of
250 guineas was paid, being at the rate of
over $1 per line. We have not seen it, but
have had various accounts of it In the English
papers, and can give some account of it here.
TENNYSON'S new Idyll, then, bears the name
of " Sea Dreams." The story which, in ratti
er bald blank verse, it tells runs thug, " A
city clerk, not gently born and bred," has a
child, who is unwell, and he takes her, with her
mother, to the sea-side. He has been induced
by a rogue
"To bay shsrea is some Permian mina,'
and loses it.
After the clerk gets down by the sea•eide he
aid his wife go to church, and then ramble
About the beach, and finally go to bed. There
they dreani, and happening to be awaked by
the tempest, they begin to talk, he accusing
his false adviser, and she pleading for for
giveness.
His dream shows him a gigantic woman who
tolls him that her strength came by working in
the mines. He asks her of the prospect of his
shares, but sho does not answer hint, and then
he sees a fleet of glass wrecked on a reef of
gold, hears a dash, and wakes.
w Nay," said the kindly wife to comfort him,
w You raised your arm—you tumbled down
and broke tho glass with little Margaret's me
dicine in It and breaking that, you made and
broke your dream. A trifle makes a dream, a
trifle breaks."
This explanation does not satisfy him,.and
he tells her how, on the preceding day, belied
niet the Peruvian miner, and had asked to
see the books, Ind how the miner had
dodged him :with a long and loose account."
this sketch of a hypocrite is good:

The wife attempts to moderate her anger

him that the Peruvian miner died of disease

More of the Magazines.
They come in, like ettegalors. All except tho

right good number it is—opening with "Counting

properly, are Robe di Roma, by Mr. Story ; the
Amber Gods, by Miss Prescott, author of "Sir
Robert," a renentlypublished romance fall of ge

Truce of Plseataqua, by Whittier; and some
well-written reviews, which, of course, are from the
scholarly and acute mind of the editor en chef.
We notice, with pleasure, the decided im

THE PRESS.--PHILADELPHIA, WEDNEBDAY, JANUARY 25, 1860.
Letter from " 00ettbi011al."
[Correspondence of The Frees.)
WASHINGTON, January 21, 1800.
The letter of the Rev. Robert J. Breokinridge,
the celebrated Presbyterian divino—whose eentro
melee with the dissensioniste iu hie own denomi
nation, and with the oracles of the Catholio Churoh,
have familiarized his name in all religious circles—
' addressed to hie fortunate nephew,, the Vice Prost
dent of the United States, is ono of those produe-
Hong which, in the midst of such excitement as
that now agitating the country on the slavery
question, carry conviction wherever they go.
The — Brookinridges aro a remarkable family,
and (the truth may bo sald,) they have generally in
Kentucky been regarded as the most distingulehod
advocatee of the amelioration of the slave, and of
the gradual abolition of the peculiar institution.
They are the patrioians of Kentucky, and bear a
striking resemblance one to the other, being men
of fine presence, and generally acoonoplished
soholars, leaders either in Congress or in tho
Church, and always ready to eeetaia the honor of
their country on the hattle.field. Of all the race,
however, John C. Breokinridge may be said
to have been the meet promising, especially when
we consider that he took his position in politics
when there were more actors upon the scone, and,
if possible. more exciting issues, than those which
marked the era in which his immediate ancestors
lived. Elected to Congress in 1851, from an old
Whig district, and re-elected in 1851, he at
onoo assumed a high poeition, and when
he retired 'in' 18.55 be had boon tendered at
least ono Important mission by President
Pierce, and wes looked upon by the country
as emphatically the rising man of his section.
Ills appearance at the Cincinnati Convention,
as a delegate from 'the Lonington district, as
the warm and unyielding friend of Stephen A.
Douglas, was greeted with enthusiasm, and the
Cesar-like manner in which he declined the Vice
Presidency, his handsome figure, his graceful, ale.
gant, and modest deliortment, won for him the
mien which he so courteously put away. Ile .un.

()ratio ticket in 1858, and to increase the chances of
hie future advancement, ho bad hardly been

chanan, drew the Presidential sword upon him, and
Included him among those whom he made popular
by his prosoriptione.
The seat of the Vice President is a silent seat.
It is, of all other places, the niche in which a can
didate for the Presidency may take his stand,
(particularly if he should happen to be an impres
sive, well-looking young man.) and bo admired and
commented upon by the critical audienooe, who
assemble in the aristocratic department of the
Congressional theatre. It Is the place for a
cautious man, and I can conceive no more
elegant snuggery for an aspirant, whose
whole previous career was a continued suc
cess, and who, iu the late struggle for prin
ciple, had placed himself high and etrong upon
the national ground °coupled by the Demobratio
party. Mr. Breokinridge has filled the Vice Pre
sident's chair for nearly three years, and in the
divialone incident to the contest between Mr. Bus
ohnnan and the Democratic masses, hie name be
came the 'watchword all over the Union as a
valuable nuns, because it represented a South
ern man who stood fair with the conservative
sentiment of the country, and who had ne
ver committed sin error in • his political re
cord. lie had been among the foremost to
assert, and among the most eloquent to defend,
the imperishable doctrine of popular sovereignty,
as laid down by Judge Douglas in the Kaneas-Ne
break& bill, and reiterated by James Buchanan in
his letter of acseeptance. Notwithstanding John
Brown at Harper's Ferry, notwithstanding the con
test in his own State between the friends and foes
of this doctrine, Mr. Brookinridge was elected for
six years to the United States Senate, by the Legie.
letters of Kentucky—thus adding another long lease
upon the highest relation of Congressional life, to
hie present distingniehed position. Ile had, in fact,
boon chosen John a. Prittenden's suoaessor as a
popular sovereignty Democrat. His continued al.
Immo was therefore expected by friend and foe. Ills
opponents qt bomo, beaded by Mr. Guthrie, now in
the field, an active ennvesser for the Presidency, had
gone a bow-shot beyond Mr. Buchanan, and bad
assumed the extremest ground against Judge Dou
glas ; so that the Vice President's past record and
his present policy, both conspired to advise him to
maintain the quiet and urobtresive attitude he bad
"occupied since hie election. Moro chap one of his
friends were netoniehed, therefore, when, niter bie
election to the United States Senate, the Vico Pre
sident concluded, voluntarily, to go to Frankford,
and there to place hirmtelf on the extreme Southern
platform, side by side with Mr. Buchanan. I
am very sure ho will not complain of those Qom
manta on my part. Possibly, in theeoursoof things,
we may all bo moiled upon' to vote for Major Brook
inridge as an alternative. The surprise which his
now position baa aerated in the besom of one who
loves him dearly, and who has watched, and
watches, his career with mere than the
interest of political affinity, may well be
shared by his trice& in the renke of the Demo

When Cortes advanced into the interior of
Mexico, in order to convince his troops of the des

ships to be burned behind him, so that every man
fought with his life in hie hand. Hew will it ,be
with us of the free States who go to Charleston on
the 21d of April, to assist in securing e national
platform, and in placing on that platform a national
candidate for President? I notice, in a letter of one
of the Virginia correepondents of the N. Y. Herald,
the remark that the delegation from the Empire
State, headed by Mr. Cassidy and Mr. Striper,
and eupported by those gallant fellows, Isaac Fow

sonal assault, should they insist upon taking their
seats in the Democratic Convention; and sit you

dies aro suggested, not only against Northern Inter
lopers, but against ell Southern men who falter in
the movement of denunciation of Stephen A.
Douglas. I have a great opinion of Southern hos
pitality, and I am very sure that there will be
found a good many courteous gentlemen in the
chief city of the Palmetto State ; but it would
be a rather bad business if the Southern men gath
ered in Charleston, on the 231 of April, should
take it into their beads that they were about to be
captured by a Northern horde, and should deter
mine to Insist upon the expulsion of all popular
sovereignty Domoerats, inasmuch ac these latter
might be regarded as foes of the South.
A Northern Democrat going to Charleston must
carry with him the eantiment of hie people. It ho
loses it on the way, be had better remain among
the fire-eaters, and if ho takes it with him to the
Convention he may occupy a somewhat disagree
able attitude. At all events, my earnest ad
vice is, that the friends of moderation end
of oonservatism should Seek to Charleston,
should there take their stand, yielding nothing to
the fire.eatere and tho &unionists ; but resolved
to contend, to the last, for that which will be
found, ultimately, to be the surest safety of the
South Built. They need not, if they are discreet
and eourageoue, he alarmed for the coneequencee
They need not burn their ships behind them, for if
they are animated by the proper motives, they will
not only defeat the foes of the Union in the slave,
but carry the flag of the Democratic, party in
triumph through the free States.
I notice, without amazement, n Joel tidal article
In one of your Philadelphia Administration papers
against the telegraphic report of Roger A. Pryor's
attack upon the fiend of the Now York /braid—
which report was published In all the newspapers
of the day except the Herold itself. The writer

the people. This is really refreshing. Mr.

who boasts that hie paper has a world
wide &inn:dation, gets up in Congress, and pro
nounces a philippic of extraordinary ability and
severity against his opponent. This obaranteristio
epaeob is received with delight by all who beer
It, and, of (course, is caught up by the men with
the ravenous pens in the galleries, and sent over the
telegraphic' wires. It is preeirely the kind of thing
tho people want to see. The truth Is the masses
have now, for the first time in thole lives, (thanks
to Professor Morse), a chnnoo to see a daily daguer
reotype of the doings of their servants in Congress.
What they want le a faithful Octave. They do not
want to have only a part of the features of Wash
ington life, but everything. You might as well
try to satisfy a visitor at Brady's gallery In New
York, or at that of Modlees and Carmen in Phi
ladelphia, by trying to take a copy of his face by
gas-light, and pass It off as the work of the sun
Itself, as to expect the American people to be satis

revised and corrected by an Administration critic,
located here as a sort of censor. I wonder
why your Philadelphia Administration organ did

You have often road in the autobiographies of
neglected geniuses the difficulties attendant upon
the publication of their lucubrations, in whatever
department of literature. Just the same difficul
ties, which have befallen the Honorable Jeremiah
S. Black, Attorney General of the United States,
for some days past, have afforded talk and amuse
ment for the booksellers and publishers of this
city. He went from one bookseller to another, end
all refused until it was provided that lessee ehould
be made up. The work to be got out IS a collection
of Judge Black's writings on the Territorial ques
tions, most of them attempted replies to Judge
Douglas. A gentleman who saw the subecription
list informs sue that the number of copies sub.
Earthed for Is 2,500, of which Mr. Black takosl,ooo.
tionoral Casa was asked to put his name down for
a number of copies, and, I am told, the old states
man replied : " What ! I take copies of a pamphlet
which antagonises the political principles of my
life! Oh, no, sir, I leave that to others."

I see that a good many papers are envious to
have a statement of the exact condition of toes.
Gone before the Rouse of Representatives. Bore
it is. Before any vote was taken for Speaker, Mr.
Clark, of Minsourt, offered a resolution that no
member woe fit to bo Speaker who endorsed the
doctrines of the Helper hook, which were de
nounced as Incendiary and insurrectionary in their
nature. For that Mr. Gilmer, of North Carolina,
moved to substitute a proposition approving the
Compromise of 1850 as a final settlement of the
slavery agitation. Previously Mr. Stevens, of
Pennsylvania, bad raised a question of order that
no business could take precedence of the election
of Speaker and the organisation of the Rouse.
Both statute and parliamentary law sustain the
point. Mr. Stevens. 'tourer, withdrew his point
to lot in Mi. Gilmer's substittito, and then
Lion was made to lay • tlie whole subject
upon the table, which was lost by one vote.
Mr. Stevens renewed his point of order. General
debate progressed, prinelpallyby members on the
Democratic benches, the Republicans maintaining
a studied silence. The, next move was by Mr.
Hickman, who presented the plurality resolution,
which being ohjentol to, the Clerk ruled it out.
On the mortc,v Mr. Ili-1; man roao to dotted the
journal, the fact that ho offered the plurality rule
not appearing. The objet, I presume, wes,.lf
the journal allowed that the rule was not enter-
tained under the decision of the Clerk, to take en
appeal and have the matter detailed by the /louse.
Then other questions of order ware piled up. And
now the immediate question before the llolcee is in
reference to thendinissibtlity of Om resolution of Mr.
'Wishing, of Ohio, In fever of the adoption of
the plurality rule. • The Republicans have stated
their desire to take itp'end dispose of those ques
tions ono after another ; but Mr. Burnett, and oth
ers of the Iternocratio party, have announe ed to the
House that, oven if there were no question before
it, except to elect a Speaker ; if all the pending
questions were disposed 'of, they arc bound to op
pose the adoption of the plurality 'resolution, from
which will result the elevation of a Republioan
Speaker, if the Oovernment, in its departments,
now cripple', has to go Mt without tnonoy until the
opening of a new Congress, in March, 1881. There
seems to ho hope entertained by none I have seen
that the deed look will and Ibis week.

HOUSE Oh' REPRESENTATIVES.
Mr MeCbErotavo. of Illinole, rose to a personal
explanation, snying that his colleague (Mr. Farris
worth) bad, In effect, charged him with baying
suppressed certain resolutions of the Illinois De•
moerftey on the subject of slavery, In the speech
which ho made the other day. The charge wan
unfounded, and this reflection upon him unperlia
montave.
Mr. Fsnvawontu Stlolo,l that all he nought to

They de.dtre they want no new Congressional tort on

FrPeeell of Senator D0te4139, yesterday, in which ho
proposed n , lave ',ale, by making it a penitentiary
offence for any person to interfere with the rola
thon of master and slave.
Mr Leone, of Illinois, said that so far as the
Democracy of Illinois wan concerned, it can take
pate of itself, and if his colleague would attend to
his own platfotm he would not with a little more
propriety. With regard to the slave collo, it was
none of Mr Farnsworth's binciness The distitc
guirbed Senator (Mr. Dourlas) had proposed a law
to lee pasotl to open thu doors of the ponitentinre
to receive those who incite treason and insurrce
tine, and those who ban I together to run away fu
gitive daces from their masters lie suspected
that his colleague desired no such law, for fear it
might affect :mum pert Me living where Mr. nuns
worth does.
Mr FanNstetenTll in t ellect?, what did Mr. Dou
glas props° hut a slave code I
Mr LOGAN Mid Ito endorsed every point of So•
nntor Douglas' Spßeoll. Ills design was merely to
euppresa contpiracle4 fn violating the rights of
plater Staten, lie did not know that his (mileages
wan emended in toil) things. but his constituents
had endorsee' them• end their ministors had
preached sermons holding up John Drown as a
martyr.
Mr. FnExatvonvu repeated that Senator Doug
las had proposed to p 443 a slave code for the pro
tection of slavery wherever it exists, notwithstand
ing the Douglas Democracy of Illinois had de
clared that slavery was n more local and munici
pal institution. That Is the tniserabie eophist r y
end the position of the mon whom his colleague,
Mr. began, worships. It became necessary for
Douglas to make a bid for Southern support, and
he rolls over in the dirt and favors a Congressional
slave male. His eolleague had talked about tend
ing the Republicans to the penitentiary. No
doubt, the man bid colleague worships would be
glad to mind the Republicans to the penitentiary
till after the next election. [Laughter.] But we
expect to get him into the penitentiary before he
gets us there. [Laughter.]
Mr. MeCt.trixaND resumed his personal expla•
nation, saying in conclusion, that Mr Farnsworth
had given en erroneous Interpretation to Mr. Den
glee' preposition, and such an Incorrect exprovalon
originates in Mr. Farnsworth's prejudices and hos
tility to Douglas and the Democratic! party.
is Conwm, of Ohio, resumed his remarks
from yesterday, saying that we stand with the
fathers of the Republic and the Constitution, and
whatever may be the opinions of this day, wo
should not be accused of treason while we adopt the
dootrines of Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe. If
wo are wrong, those old gentlemen wore wrong, and
if we aro right, then the - Deumeratle party is wrong.
He wished to present a question of logic. It was
said that Mr. Seward, being the head and leader of
the Republican party, hail proclaimed at llochester
that there must bo some conflict between free and
slave labor, and that in coast - Immo° of that decla
ration John Brown dotermincl TO murder some
body at Harper's Ferry. Did gentlemen suppose
that Brown had not read Jefferson's Notes on Vir
globe, and the remark of Washington, that he would
render cordial co operation to the abolition of
slavery throughout the country? Did they sup-
Vose that he had not seen the debates in the
irginia Convention, In which it was said that
slavery wee an enormous evil, and that unless
it was abolished it would advance steadily,
step by step, until it would bees fatal as death ?
Dld they suppose that Brown bad not read all these
things, and pondered on them in his mountain soli
tude in New York for twenty years, end prayed
over them? It was there this enterprise entered
into his crazed imagination, being superindueed
Vv tho principles consecrated by Jefferson and
Washington—Brown belie% Ing that the angels
of the Lord et some time would encamp
around him. Now, be (Mr. Corwin) appealed
to the gentlemen to say whether, instead of
tracing back Brown's raid to Seward's deolara
lion, they could not more properly trace It to their
own heroes and great men. No—not their heroes
and great men, but our heroes and great men, be
longing to the whole United States and the world.
Theirs are names which will brightly illumine the
pages of history, while we hove been food for
worms. Ito asserted that the resolution of Mr
Clark, of Missouri, was an advertisement of
the Helper book," and that Mr. Sherman
bad satisfactorily explained how hie name had
become connected with that work. Mr. Sher
man bad not endorsed that hook. It wag not
prepared at the time he authorized his name to be
appended toe pelitical pamphlet, after being as
sured it would all be right. Criminality is to be
determined from the intent, and none such existed
against Mr. Sherman, who neither endorsed nor ap
proved of incendiary or insurrectionary teachings.
Suppose a CM subscribe fur a newspaper for nix
months, and the editor turns out to be a rascal and
a blackguard—is the subscriber to be held reupon
sible for that? It had been said that the election
of Mr. Sherman would be the Initiatory step for dis
solution, and if followed by the elootlon of Mr. Se
ward to the Presideney, that calamity would be as
compliehed. lint no menace or threat from any
eection could make him shrink from exorcising the
rights bequeathed to him by his fathers. Were he
to submit, that very moment he would he disfran
chised, and would have a collar about his neck and
ho treated as a serf.
Re argued at some length that Territories are to
be governed by Congressional law, which could
provide that slavery shall or shall not exist there
in, and referred to a fernier period of our history to
show that Monroe, President, and John Quincy
Adams, Crawford, Calhoun, Southard, and Wirt,
Cabinet officers, all agreed thatCongresa ban power
to exclude slavery from the Territories.
Ile also alluded to the judicial history of the
country to show that the position of the Republi
cans was consistent therewith. Their principles,
nn thia subject. were the same as thee() of the old
Wbig party. Mr Calh''•tn bed emphatically sail
that the doctrine that could not legislate

Mr. iiICKWAN, of Pennsylvania, and others on
the Republican side objected.
Mr. Con Wist resumed, reviewing the position of
the Ohio Democrat.) , in IS-18, when resoliitions
were adopted declaring that they looked on the in•
etitution of slavery as unfavorable to the full de
velopment of free inatitutione. Entertaining these
nentitnenta, he said they would be derelict to their
duty If they did not prevent Its liminess, mitigate,
and finally eradicate it. The Democracy of Ohio
