Letter from “Nox.”
(Correspondence of The Press.]
Washington, July 22,1860.
The annual Report of.the Commercial Bateau < f
the Stale Department has made its appearance. It
is neither inferior nor superior to the preceding
volumes; it is as useless, as far as praotioal Advan
tages are to bo derived'therefrom for the people,
as the Reports of the'Agricultural Department;
for both bureaus, in their present organisation,
although annually a great araoant of money is
.Spent Tor thoir maintainmentjoan afford very little
or no benefit whatever for the oountry. |
Tho Bureau in the State Department .was origi
nnlly established for the. purpose of showing our;
commercial' relations with foreign countries; not
So muoli, however, to give the amount of imports
and exports—they are annually prepared by the
Register of the Treasury—but especially to ao
quaint our merchants with the various tariffs; and
our shipmasters with the diverse harbor and ton
nage duties, as imposed upon our shippingjin the;
ports of foreign nations. !' j
The.connection of the £tate Department with
foreign. Governments, it Was thought, would facili
tate the undertaking, and on thut account tho Com
mercial Bureau was plaoed under the supervision’
of the Sooretriryof State. Ourconsulsabroad were'
inktruoted to 'report any ohange in tho tariff, And
inform the Department immediately; whenever a
new deoreo was- issued by'the Governments to
whloh tkoy wore accredited, bearing any relajtlen to
moroantilo or- naval matters. Every one Will see
that the original idea of suoh a Department Was an
exoellont. one, and its, execution . would; have
proved of innumerable.blessings of the greatest
importance to the mercantile portion of our people',
had only'our officials understood bow to do,it.'
Instead of adopting tho plan of the French Govern
ment, and publishing every month the changes of
tariffs and other commercial regulations, s<j> that
our merchants might.bo benefited by an early
knowledge of the same, our Department publishes
overy year.a large volume, fall of allklndß’of re
ports from consuls, and articles copied.front some
English papers, or from Hunt’s Merchant's Mags*
line, etc. 1 j
But, unfortunately, as the tariffs of mostpf the'
European countries, with whom we entorptn a
oommoroial intercourse, are not, like our tariff, of
a stationary character, but ohange more less
every month, tho report of the State Department
is, when it makes Us appearance, of very Utile use
to our merchants, because the information con
tained therein is old, and, therefore, jeryllttie re
liance oan be placed upon It. The moat of the re
port of thobonsula'arc stale and unprofitable, and
not worth printing; ’ for there are very few amongst
our oonsuls who arc able to write a oommoroial re
port. Thus, thousands of dollars are annually
thrown away merely by the inefficiency and igno
rance oloup officials, whilst ior the Mme amount
of money. and oven for less, wo oould have works
published by the Government, whloh are noit only
useful but also original, and not plagiarisms. It is
high timo that the press should pay some attention
to' those nuisanocs, which arc really a shame to
this country (
Governor Wise 13 at present in a rather disa
greeable position. He is/ of oourae, down on all
Know-Nothioga; indeed, he is so muoh opposed to
them that be quarrelled with Mr. Bdohahsn be
cause the latter refused to remove the Federal
office-holders who were tainted that doatrino.
But newspaper accounts tell us that tho Governor,
iq spite of that feeling, is going to support Breck
inridge, who is as much of a Enow-Nothing as any
of tho opponents of tho Governor in Virginia, or
anywhere else. The speesh of the young lucky
Kentuckian, which ho m&de in 1855, In Cynthiana,
is full of the bitter doctrines of Know-Notbinglsm.
Besides, tho acquisition of Mr, Humphrey Marshall
to the ranks of Mr. Breckinridge rather speaks
against than in favor of the latter; forth* foreign
born citizens bavo not yetYorgott«rUh«t Gils Ham*

in his speeches for Mr. Breokinridge he proudly
declared that he was still as good a Know-Nothing
as ever before. We are very anxious to see'wbnt

will pursue; whether ho will go fo.r pr against the

CaTABACT RoV»3, NiAOARApALJ.B, July 19,130).
At 9 A. M. on Tuesday, the date of my last
letter, we left Elmira for Buffalo, and arrived here
at seven in the evening. Elmira is a beautiful
country town of some twelve thousand Inhabitant*,
extensively laid oat, and sufficiently rural in? cha
racter to render it, I should think, a delightful
place to live in summer without bolog obligedto
leayo homo In order to escape spontaneous combus
tion. The first seventeen miles of our journey was
over tho New York and Erie rood, to Corning,
where we changed cars, and proceeded the remain
ing one hundrod and forty-two miles to Buffalo,
over what Is designated as Patchoo's branch of
the eaoro road. Tho entire distance along this line
exhibits snob an agricultural panorama as tho
tourist will foaroely find outside of New York and
Pennsylvania. Wo had not proceeded far* from
Corning before we wero presented with many in
dications of the boasted thrift and intelligence of
western New York. Corning, by the way, if you will
tolerate a slight allusion to, politics—for which I
confess to having no special enthusiasm In this
quadrangular fight—is a place of about seven' thou
sand inhabitants, and usually votes Democratic.
On good authority, it has now thrtc Breokinridgers
all told, and in the event of the present post
master’s removal, (a Douglas Democrat,)there
will be but one, the above three being standing ap
plicants for the pl&oo. The disappointed two
would, of oeurse, no longer fly the Disunion flag.
The announcement of this may save the post
master’s head until after the election, as a matter
of polioy. But to return.
I remember in a conversation, in 1667, upon the
relatire peculiarities of the Koystone andEmpiro
States, your making the remark that New York
was a State of oities, and Pennsylvania a State of
country. Extensive travels through both have
convinced me of the correctness of this criticism.
Bad you included her geologic and geogra
phic with her architectural oh&raoterlstios,
yon might havo also added that Now York
is a State of lakes and waterfalls. Of tho
former there are no less than twelve wholly within
her borders, varying from ten to thirty-eight
milos in length, and of her water falls, besides the
mighty “ sovereign of the floods” from whioh I
write, her Trenton, Gnnesee, (lien’s, and K&nters
kill palls, not to mention her countless lesser oas
oador, have & world-wide reputation for their mag
nitude and grandeur. Not to admit all that her
metropolitan exaggerates claim for her, New
York undoubtedly is a great State, and Peansyl*
Vania onn afford the magnanimity to acknowledge
it, if for no other purpose than conferring npon
New Yorkers tho moral benefit of a good example.
It Is a noticeable fact that New York State and
her chief oity are as indissolubly united in farther
ing their joint interests, ns if they wero man and
wife, and in this they afford ?<ia pattern that has
been too loosely followed by Pennsylvania and her !
metropolis. Let xv 6 cultivate a moro honest rcoi- j
prooal pride in this respoot. But I find myself 1
running off on &u editorial switch and mußt again
return. %
About ninety miles from Buffalo an extensive
well-tilled region, oalled Spring Water Valley,
bursts suddenly into view, afi'jrdlog from its peon
liar bowl-like formation and oompdrative freedom
fr m woods one of tho most striking and thorough
agricultural pictures I have ever seen. Good
fences, noat, and advantageously-located buildings,
flourishing young orchards, now loaded with fruD,
tasteful grounds,- and luxuriant gardens, attest the
progressive character and intelligence of tho peoplo
all through this portion of the Empire State. For
nearly sixty miles we are crossing what is popu
larly known ns the Genesee Valley, the finest por
tion of which, '.however, is embraoed within the
limits of Livingston oounty, which, as all who are
aoqnainted with the grain-growing statistics of
New York oro aware, has tho distinction of being,
the banner wheat producing oounty of the Stato,
This is a region suggestive of the milk and honey
vale once vacated' for Joseph’s unworthy kinsmen,
and in point of fertility and uniform productive
ness is probably not surpassed In the world, and
only equalled In a few of the riohest wheat-growing
sections of Pennsylvania.
At Avon, about seventy miles from Buffalo, our
train halted for dinner, and of all tho railroad
dining places it has ever been my fortune or mis
fortune to stop at to replenish the inner man, com
mend me to Avon. The instant tho oars halted,
dinner was on the table warm, savory, and abun
dant. There was no sliara “ twenty minutes for
dinner!” whittled down to raven and a half by
slow waiters, and oat short, after swlnishlj bolting
a mouthful or two, by the provoking snort of the
engine and an official shoot, “nil aboard 1” from
somebody,- aa if his salvation depended upon
the number of passengers he cheated out of
their half dollars, but sufficient time was al
lowed to do justioe to a good appetite, in a
decont way—i. *., without saving tho toeth at
the expense of the stomaoh. Five o’olook, R*
M. brought us to Buffalo. The hour intervening
between our arrival and the departure of the train
for the Falls, enabled our parly to ride through
several of the principal streets of Buffalo, which
are wide, and oross each other at right angles, iu
whloh wo er.j jyed a fine view of Lake Erie, and dis
covered many indications of the wealth and enter
prise of this great commercial entrepdt between the
East and the. West. At six we left for tho Falls,
wen iy*lwo miles distant, and at a few minutes
aftor seven wero comfortably ensconced at tbe Oata
raot Houso, in chambers overlooking tho Rapids,
and vooal with Niagara’* eternal roar, where we
soon succeeded in oxirioatlng ourselves from a
heterogeneous ouiloular strata of dust and perspira
tion, and then descended to the capaoious dining
room to testify our appreciation of “ our” hosta’
proverbial skill and princely liberality as hotel
caterers. Of tho in detuil, and our expe
rience in visiting them, I have not now time to
speak.

its exhibition at a few minutes before seven, as

Commencement Lafayette College,
Correspondence of Tne Press.)
Easton, July 23,1860.
The annual commencement of Lafayette College
takes place this week. The oxeroises wore for
mally commenced yesterday by sermons from
Rev. Wm. H. Green, D. I)., of Princeton Theo
logical Seminary, sndßov. G. W. Thompson, D.
I) , of Aoadomla, Pa.
Dr. Green took his text from Josh. 1: 2, and
preached a most excellent discourse, suited to tho
times and occasion, lie is ft divine of massive
mind, well armed and equipped with Gospel truth,
carries the heaviest instruments used in Chrisuau
warfare, and hurls them with a power and pro
oision that makes him a strong man in fho Lord.
His adniouitions to the young men, his exhorting
them to gird up their loins for the battle of lito,
tho toroible manner in whioh he presented to them
the truths that they were to take the plaoes of good
men who had and were now falling, oonspired to
mafeo the discourse not only interesting, but heart
stirring and impressive.
At tue close of Dr. Green’s sermon, Dr. Mophail
made a short and appropriate address to the 6enior
olasfl. i
Last night, Dr. Thompson delivorod a lengthy
and earneht sermon beforo the Braincrd Sooiety,
To-night, Monday, 23d, Junior exhibition tiikes

To-morrow night, Colonel W. C. Alexander, of

. The following day, (Wednesday, 25th,) the regu
lar commencement exercises take place. In addi
tion to speeches from tho members pf the Senior
class, there wilt be a pootn and oration dolivorod
by two gentlemen of the class of ’57.
E. Newton Van Sant, E»q„ of Philadelphia, de
livers the poem, end William Kennedoy, Esq , of
Chambersburg, Pa., the oration. Both these gra
duates are young men of great promise, and will
doubtless acquit ihomselvcs with great oredtt.
Uhe examinations of tho respootive olassea of the

In pareaauoo of eoali iraoed undor tho aaspice.
of the Republican Club of this oily, Concert Hall
was filled to Its utmost capacity, last evening, to

At a quarter after eight Mr. Hiokman made his

■ If this were a strife' merely between individual ,

I should not trouble you with either reinirk or
suggestion. But as I regard the contest, the de
termination will soon be mado not alone as* to onr
value in the Confederacy, but as to the destiny'of
the nation itself. - I
The polioy of our Government is, in many re-,
speets, undefined. The mdra serious questions ef
fecting ns have but recontly become tuples of care
ful consideration. Onr fathers wero nnanle to (
forosee, during the formation of the Constitution,
the-greater embarrassments to whleh the [fature ,
of tho country waa to ho snhjooted, and conse
quently no provision was made against thorn 1 . Sub
jects which distraetod and divided them, id their
deliberations, have lost muoh of their former eon
sequenop, and we seem to bo mnro anxiousl to as
certain what thoy should hnvo said furthor, than
what they aotnally did say. Even the controver
sies in which wo ourselves have been engaged
within the last dcondp have been settled or lost
sight of, and we are now about to enter info that
oonfilot whioh is to defino many of the moat im
portent powers of the Government, and to fix the ,
character of tho dominant institutions of tha coun- ,
try; Tho propriety of ro-oligibility to office, the
exaot relations botwoon Fedora! and looal authori
ty, tho constitutionality of benisand internal im
provemonts, tho regulation or tho oucrenoy, and
the distribution ot the prooeetVt of the Umbßo
lands, aro no longer agitated; and dlsoussionk upon
them are only to bo found in our past history, and
in tho fossil remains of extinct punies. It may in
truth be said that old things have passedieway,
and all things have,become new. I
There waa a time, not very fiir back in iha past,
when elavery was nuivorsally admitted ti bo a
wrong in se, unwise in praotice, detrimental to
both Individuals and communities, and against tho
spirit and genius of our f«o system. Now. how
ever, it is deolarod to Ue dtvinu in its origin, tho
highest type of humau! civilisation, and indispen
sable to tbe maintenance of a Democratic republic
Formerly it was regarded as u condition to bo con
stantly reduced, and finally to bo extinguished.
Now, on the contrary, the demand is urged -that it
shall Be extended, nnd made controlling. Here I
find the oause or source of the great political Issue
of the present. Shall slavery become a national
institution and a governing power in tbe country,
or shall It remain aff the Constitution left it 1 This
is not an inquiry propounded by ns of tho. North
bnt forced upon us by our brethren of the bonth.
They require an answer at our Banis, and we can
not avoid response iffwo would., biienoe upon onr
part, under the circamstanae*. could not be con
strued otherwifie than as affirmative oft their
claims, I make the distinct avowal that slavery
seeks the acquisition of all our new State*; for
two objects : first, to secure the value of staves:
and, second, to direot tho powers of the Federal
Government. j
1 “ The irrepressible conflict,” po frequently com
mented on and/denounoed Hy the fci'iuth, ft con
stantly admitted, and noted on by thprti .TUey nre
too astute as oTwervers and sagacious as politician j?
not to know there neocrcsTynnd unending an*
tagonism between liberty nnd slavery, if they
thought differently thero would be far mere ‘peace
and harmony between tho sections.’ It in thdir full
appreciation of the strucglo for tho masteryiwhich
arras them for tho conflict, and induces them to
wrestle for the victory. Thero i a no more evident
fact than this, that the advocates of slavery seek Us
extension so as to limit the influence of tho [senti
ment of freedom. We hate tyranny, and (would
provent such a consummation. They nsk that all
who toil shall be held as property— bo regarded, in
the chaste lancuago cf an eloquent Senator, as
” mudsills.” Wo believo that God oreated all
men freo, and imposed labor upon thorn for; their
advantage. Which hypothesis shall be proven
true? We will see hereatter ! But knowing that
the principles of justloe ate uniform nnd etefn&l, I
presume to believe that those principles will prevail
and human rights be maintained. Icm not igno
rant of tho faottflat those who snpposo they might
rightfully make merchandise of mothers nnd their
children seem to think thoy oftn shape tho designs
of Providence and rewrite tho history of humanity,
reversing everything onr tethers thought, apd for
tho maintenance'of whrhtbey perilled life and
honor. I must be pardoned for disagreeing with
them, and protestingagairtfl such oonoluuons.
ThO extension of negro Savory into the Terri
tories of tho United Btates has become a iettled
policy of tho Democratic party. This reality can
not be disguised, and ought not to bo denied. It
is easily accounted for. Unity of interest and unity
of desire will always produce a perfect concentra
tion of strength. Tbe fortunes of tho South havo
beoomo completely identified with their peculiar
domestic relations. By their harmony they have
been enabled to govern tho Democratic party, and,
thus far, ta govern the country through the Hgenoy
of that party. The vital force of that organisa
tion being in the South, and slavery propngandiam
regarded there as a necessity, it cannot he con
sidered strange that tho influence of the party
should be bo alreoted as to fortify doctrines most
congenial to the supposed welfare of thorp who
direot its machinery. To many it has scorned un
accountable that executive notion and legislative
and judicial proceedings should bo so shaped, from
year to year, ns to strengthen tho few nt the ex
pense of the great mass of onr people. Lot it no
longer be regarded r.* a marvel or a mystery;
the responsibility of it rests with those North
ern men in whom wo have reposed our con
fidence, and clothed with tho garments of
authority. Examine (ha iccordcd votes in
your National Congress, a*.d thero loarn why it is

a blind and achoat. No (enrs ever sprung from

enactment anywhere; it is the child c-f force, and

and In palpable violation of what has been regard

He so reads the teachings of the sages cf the past,
and their primary law, as to make it fruitless to

as to make it indispensable that Congresses, Court?,

I appeal to you to know whether you h&vp ever
found anything in the annals of parties so insulting
to the understanding, until within the lifetime
of the youth who has not yet reached his majority.
I appeal to you to know whether the honesty, in
telligence, and unmixed blood of the offspring of
Northern mothers con ever acoept an excuse for
those who would endeavor to fasten such a \ ruler
upon us. But wo may congratulate ourselves that
even official seal can perceive no chance for Mr.
Breckinridge’s election. If there had ever been
any, the recent stump speech of Mr. Buchanan
would have effectually disposed of it No otnouct
of popularity would be ablo to stand against the
cnoomiums of such an advocate. His midnight ap
ical oan only bo accounted for by supposing tho

his animosities towards “ the young gentleman cf
Kentucky,” and that his well-known craft sug
gested a speeob as the readiest and least offensive
means of destruction, buch suggestions are tho
more reasonable as it is not to bo imagined that tho
gyved tenant of the White House should for a mo
ment believe, sftor the Investigations which 1 have
been had, and. the exposures which have been
made, such testimony as ho volunteered could bo
othorwise than ruinous to any oause. 'iho daring
evinced by him on the occasion was only equalled
by his lack of self respect, and his utter disregard
of tho olrcumstancea by whioh be was surrounded,
and whioh should have restrained him.
Whatever conclusions may be drawn as to my
osrimato of Mr. Breckinridge's oharaoter as a poli
tician, I can only say that my esteem for him is
profound when brought into comparison with that
which I entertain lor his Democratic competitor.
There are few, if any, living men conoorning whom
more has been eaid, and less really knows; than
Stephen A. Douglas, of Illinois. Toero are thou
sands, by far too many thousands, now sustaining
blm under the mistaken and delusive idea that ho
is directing bis efforts to counteract the plans of
the Southern Democracy. This is a frightful hallu
cination, bat a natural one, when we take into
consideration the humiliating fact that all that de
votion could do has been done, by those surround
ing his person, to distort a true record, and to
stamp a counterfeit character for him on tho pub
lic mind. Viewing him as one of the most Unsafe
and treaoherous of leaders, you will pardon me
oertain statements which it new seems necessary
should be mode, and the oorreotne«s of which, I
presume, will not be impugned. I havo not yet
torgotten, when, in the winter of 1855 0, during
the first session of the Thirty-fourth CongreSs, the
residents of Kansas, asseverating that the cardinal
principle of the K»nsas-Nebra*ka act had 1 been
wantonly and wickedly nullified, that fraud and
violence, concocted in tho blue-Jodgeß of Missouri,
had invaded their homes and imposed a foreign
rule upon them for the purpose of forcing upcn
them institutions which they abhorred, and in
voking the interposition of Congresi in their be
half, the prided lather of untnmmoiled popular
eoverelguty” turned hii back upon his violat»d
child, and cUsod hiseais, as in death, to complaints
of outrago almost without a parallel in the civiliza
tion of the century. These despoiled pioneer.',
who bad taken up their abode in tho Terntory un
der tho most solemn guarantees of self-govern
ment, only asked to prove their accusation, acd to
be relieved from oppression. In other words, they
declared they had never been able to enjoy self
government, ihat they were ruled by invaders, and
demanded the sovereignty conferred by law upon
them, Mr. Douglas should havo been the first
mantofiy to their reliof; and if ho had been as
completely dedicated to the principles of his bill,
ss some would make us believe, he would have
urged investigation and carried it. So far from
having done so, he put bimsell in the lead of thore
Senators most hostile to an exposition, and became
the mere mouth-piooo, advocate, and apologist of
those engaged in the work of forcing riaveiy upon
an unwimug people, 110 er joyed at that time the
full confidence ot the South, and his Democracy was
orthodox, because he w«3 loyal to his task-mas
tors, willing to do battle for thoir most extrava
gant demands. Bo was then chairman of the
Committee on territories, and I call attention to
his report as such, made March 12,1856, as con
clusive upon tbo piont I have stated. In that pa
per he could find nethiog to say against foreign
conspiracies to invade tho soil of Kansas and con
trol elections, but be bad muoh to offer in condem
nation of Eastern associations to encourage removal
thltber. Bo could discover no irregularities in
• the return of Mr. Whitfield, the pro-slavery dele
gate to the House of Representative?, but bo clear
ly discerned that the Territorial Legislature was a
legally elected body, with perfect authority to en
act the tnoat oruel and arbitrary slave codes, and
that the complaints of fraud and foroo were gotten
up merely to stimulate and excite Northorn emi
gration. At* he time of which I speak, there was
no one in Congress or out of Congress, in office or
oul of office, who exerted himself more untiringly
to perpetuate that reign of terror ioauxuratea to
iosure the admission of Kansas into the Union as a
slave State. I fear there are many now bearing
up thobanner Inscribed with the name of this tsen
ator, who never have fully understood, or whohave
forgotten this tarni hed page in his history. If
there has ever been a more determined foe to the
growth of freedom in Kansas, or to the principle?
of the Nebraska-Kansas bill than Stephen A. Dou
glas, he has been able to keep himself very muoh
under cover. It 13 gratifying, however, to make a
single romark in his favor; ic is this, that ho ceotaa

altoostdriven to the condition that the repeal cf

tho veil has been carefully and cfcsely drawn by
the guaidians of Mr. Douglas’ fame/ Hi* admirers
have acted wisely, as it has prevented, doubtless,
many unpleasant surmises' and suggestions. To
that boldest, and truest, and greatest of nil fh-a
warriors in tho battle for the right, David C. Bro

and a corrupt Administration.” Upon his return

duty he sacredly owed him, he would have trained
a victory for freedom in California, and would, to
day, in my opinion, be living in the land, aud ac
knowledged as one of the foremost men in the re
public. He laid down his life to attest his sin
cerity; many who professed to love him will, in
wild revel and reckless exultation, ntter the namo .
of him who could not find time or opportunity to
speak a word in eulogy over the grave of the de

These references have been made for a siaglo*"

1 have said all I desire to say of the representa
tives ofthe two Democracies. There is a prefarenco
between them. The ond is out-spoken and evident
the other is concealed and trioky. Of the two I
much prefer Mr. Breokinndge, and yeti cannot
imagine the circnmatanoea under which I could bo
induced to support him. lie evserts the Supremo
Court has decided that slavery fa an exfatiog con
stitutional institution in all onr Territories and
that it is the duty of tho Government to sustain it
whore it thus legally exists. Mr. Douglaseoatood3
the courts have not yet so decided, but if they
shall do so, it will then become tho duty of all
good citizens to respect the decision, and of every
branch of the Federal Government to enforce it
with promptness aud fidelity. This is his platform.
If our Federal Court has not already given a de
cision In accordance with the notions of Sir. Breck
inridge, no one doubts it will do so as soon as tho
question shall be brought distinctly before it. Sj.
at bos’, theonly point of disagreement between these
rival candidates, fa that of timo only. If, in iho
language of the resolution adopted by th« Con
vention placing Mr. Douglas in nomination, and
just partly quoted, it becomes the duty oi all good
citizens to respect, and of every branch ofthe Fede
ral Government to enforce, a judicial decision de
termining the constitutional existenco of slavery in
onr Territories, what becomes of that other theory
of Mr. Douglas, that, no matter what the Supreme
Court may decide, slavery may be excluded from a
Territory by unfriendly legislation ?
Thoso advocating tho claims of Mr. Beil would
please everybody by promising nothing. They
compose the party of extreme faith. They stand
tipen a Constitution without interpretation, ntd
upon an endangered Union without announcing
tho means by which it oan be saved.
Let us not be deceived. There are but two doc
trines between which we can choose when we ctme
to deposit onr ballots. One is. that tho Constitu
tion favors slavery ss fully as freedom; that
neither has advantage over the other; that they
must travel together and exist together, nid®r
equal protection, until tho Territory thsll b
Oiothed with State sovereignty, and that both alike
aro national. The other fa, that the Constitution
treats slavery ns a local municipal institution; doe?
pot give to it a single attribute of nationality ; that
it has cot an equal status with freedom, and that
its extension fa to be discouraged. How shall wo
«ct between these opposiog views? I answer tho
inquiry. Our laboring classes deserve all tho en
couragement and protection we can give them.
Southern*statesmen regard them as white slaves;
lot us not surrender them to such mercies as tho
owners of chattel labor would extend to them.
Our farmers and manufacturers have long keen cut
<ff from nil the bounties of legislation by the
f.Tco of Southern prejudice; we should enlist on
their side. Ourcoumry has suffered muehlnthe
estimation of mankind irom our manifested at
tachment to a system, notoriously in counteraction
to the principles upon which our Government was
founded; considerations of morality, expediency,
and consistency should iodine us to ao all that ho
lawfully may do to save ourselves &om'further
imputations. Slavery within Ao States stands be
hind impregnable defences, but it bolds no charter
to travel without restraint. It hss long labored
for, bothflsnot yet reached, a position of abso
lutism. It grasps for empire, as it fa the only
means by which tyranny can ever save itself. Our
danger is imminent, but we can yet overcome it, if
wo allow reason, rather than prejudice, to eheno
our efforts, l'eraocracy, as now interpreted by
those loudest in the profession of it, and almost
monopolizing its name, no longer means the will of
the majority ; it contemns the tnsrics; bolds no
association with labor, and utter* no word of en
couragement to the pooT. Its professions ate im
pcßtutcs, and must soon fail to deceive. It has be
come worse than the allv of slavery; it is its plian t
and prostituted tool. Wisdom and propriety must
alike repudiate it? unless speedily regenerated.
Our true policy is that of resfatanoc to the ex
travagant and unconstitutional demands of tho
South. Wo can only make it effectual in one w*7
—by the support of Mr. Lincoln. He fa honect,
aod capable, end attached to tho principles of thy
Constitution, and his election will assign limitj to
sectional oligarchy, and make lakor honorable and.
remunerative.
The question, in its true aspect, is not as to which
candidate should he elected by the people; Ufa
this —shall Mr. Lincoln bo eleoted ? The one hun
dred and twenty electoral votes of the South will
be divided mainly, if notexclusively, between Mr.
Bell and Mr. Breckinridge, and their supp >rt will
bo almost, if not entirely, confined to thfti section
Such effeotive force as Mr. Douglas may possess is
in the North ; but hi? most sanguine friends admit
not only that his election is impossible, bat that ‘. e
cannot carry over two cr three States. The tody
of tho Northern vote will be given to Mr. Lincoln.
Mr. Douglas’ supporters can do nothing for him ;
