Washington, May 11,1860,
The Irrepressible Conflict.
. Ip reading over the proceedings of the fifth
dap of tbe late Convention at Charleston, we
find tbe most unmistakeable signs of the conflict
between the two systems of labor, free and
slave. Tbe debate occupies ten pages of tho
Courier of that city, and evinces the earnest
ness and ability of both the sections represen
ted there. We can only cull a few leading ideas
fiom each speech there to show the renders of
the Agitator that the late Democratic party
was not only a sectional party, but that it was
broken up and disorganized by the agitation of
the slavery question ; and that though they have
charged the Republicans with being “nigger
worshippers,” they themselves were the great
Mulatto Party. It seems that the time has at
last come, when the true issue on this question
of the nationalization of Freedom or Slavery is
to bo met fairly and squarely before the country
our new territories are to be saddled
with a blighting curse which has eaten the vi
tality out of the States where it now exists, or
whether said territories are to be settled with a
free and enlightened people, with institutions
in accordance with the advanced civilization of
the Christian world —whether, in short, the
white or dominant race are to consider the black
or colored race as human beings belonging to
the great brotherhood of man, or as beasts of
burden, having no sympathies, aspirations or
affections in common with themselves. Snob,
in fact, were the questions discussed in the
Democratic slaughter-house at Charleston on
the day referred to, and though covered up in the
rhetoric of a false patriotism, and called by other
names, the real issue was, Shall slavery stand
still or advance 7 The discussion took the fol
lowing shape :
Mr. Bctler of Massachusetts went for the
Cincinnati platform, pure and simple, because
it was the voice of the Democratic party four
vears ago, and though it was susceptible of va
rious readings, was not the Bible liable to the
same drawback ? He could not go for guaran
teeing ail sorts of property on the high seas,
because that would lead straightway to the re
opening of the African slave trade. Upon such
an issue, what was left of Democracy in the
free States,,would be snuffed out of existence.
Nor could he bind himself to sustain all the de-'
Court might declare slavery to be carried into
the free States by the Constitution, and he nev
er would submit to that. Would the South
submit to a decree of that Court reversing the
Dred Scott decision, and making slavery a crea
ture of local law ? He begged the South not to
be led away by passion and “bad whiskey.” As
to Massachusetts not being able to give an elec
toral rote since she went for Mr. Jefferson, he
replied to that taunt from Louisiana, by telling
her delegates, that if it had not been for that
rote for Jefferson, they would now bo subjects
of Napoleon. The defection of the Northern
Democracy, he ascribed to the constant conces
sions required from them by the South, and if
this state of things was not stopped now and at
this time, the whole North would become one
vast Republican camp.
Mr. Barksdalr, of Mississippi, would have
a slave-code platform or he would pull down
the. Democratic temple about the ears of the
Philistines, just as Sampson once did. South
ern Democracy he regarded as synonymous
with the Constitution.
Mr. Kiso, of Missouri, denounced the slave
code platform as carrying the sting of death in
it to the free State Democracy. It was a poison
as venomous as the adder's. Missouri wanted
no more concessions. Give her Douglas and
she would go it blind for him. But adopt a
slave-code platform and the next President will
be a Republican in spite of all their efforts to
the country.
Mr. Yaucbt, of Alabama, spoke for an hour
and a half. He assumed that a slave was prop
erty under the Constitution, and maintained
that the master had a right to carry that prop
erty wherever ha ploased, whether in the States
or in the Territories, and to hold and enjoy it
there, despite of all local laws to the contrary.
If the Northern Democracy were unwilling to
rally under this doctrine, ha was for parting
company at once and going out of the Union,
and any Democrat who was not ready to go
with him should be hung as high as Human.
Mr. Peon, of Ohio, told the Convention, that
the Democracy of the North-West would never
submit to a slave-code platform. “You seek to
grind as down tft the dust, gentlemen, but you
mistake us—we will never submit to dishonor.”
Thus it will bo'seen, that the “irrepressible
conflict” is not confined to Mr. Seward and the
North. It enters into the most earnest discus
sions of the National Democratic conclave,
where at last, after a struggle of fifty years to
keep it down, it appeart again, to weaken, de
moralize, divide and destroy them. The coun
try was prepared for this. Five years ago the
intelligent and honest men of all parties formed
the great National Republican Party to meet
the exigency now presented, and to save the na
tion from being wrecked and ruined by politi
cal desperadoes—and the Great Republican
Party win this year perform that mission,faitfa
fully and well.
Douglas.
But the “irrepressible conflict” in the Demo
cratic party did not end with the split at
Charleston. Oo Monday last it was renewed
in the Senate by a speech from Jeff. Davis, jus*
tifying the seceders and very severe on Douglas.
The truth is,-that the breach in tho ranks-of
Xiocofocoism can never be healed, and Douglas,
in trying to sit on two stools, has fallen between
them, never to, rise. In 1856 he said iWthe
most vindictive manner to the friends of Free
dom in Kansas in the Senate, just what he is
now saying in a bullying manner to the South.
“We will subdue yoll,” is jdst as much tbe lan
guage of the bully now, as it was then: The
work of subjugation has sever yet been accom
plished on tbe one hand, and never will .be od
the other. As was prophetically said by Mr:
Bedton, his coat-tails are too near the ground.
The adjourned Convention at Baltimore will
not nominate him, and even if they should, he
cannot carry a single State in the Union. For
ney's Press is now trying to create sympathy
for him with the people, but this is “no go.”—
Sympathy and enthusiasm can bs created for a
soldier or an upright man from tbe people, but
never for a demagogue who has tried to carry
water on both shoulders. Mr. Dongles is going
to reply to Davis next Monday.
The Baltimore Convention.
The Xatkmal Union Convention of Old Fossils
met yesterday at Baltimore. Quite a number
of distinguished men of other days were there,
trying to flatter each other that they had yet
some influence with the people, but really play
ing into the the hands of Locofocoism. Wheth
er they are paid for it out of the Democratic
Contingent fund, as they were in 1556, some
future Covode Committee will probably find
out. They will nominate some one to-day for
President—probably Sam Houston of Texas.
John McLean has been talked of, but he will
not be nominated. No Platform is to bo
adopted.
The Chicago Convention
Qf course there is a good deal of speculation
as to who will be the nominees at Chicago.—
Already the delegates are leaving for the West,
and counts of strength are made hourly for the
different candidates. Banks and Lincoln, Cam
eron and Lincoln, Bates and Grow, Bates and
Banks, Lincoln and Hickman, Cameron and
Bates, Seward and Bates, are some of the tick
ets enthusiastically spoken of, but what the
ticket will be, is a question for next week, to
which time we will leave it with one remark:
That whoever is nominated at Chicago is just
as certain to be the next President of the Uni
ted States as the fourth of March, 1861, is sure
to come.
Congress.
This week has been taken up in the discus
sion of the Tariff Bill presented by Mr. Morill
of Vermont. As was to be expected, the ShwiT
Democracy fought it inch by inch to the end.
It will be voted upon, I think, to-dav. John
Sherman opened the discussion this week by
an ablo and quite interesting expose of the state
the Administration had fallen into in its esti
mates of reifenue and expenditures. lie was
followed by Major Schwartz, who vindicated
himself from the charges made against him by
the President in the Constitution newspaper.
He had known Mr. Buchanan for thirty-six
years, and had been one .of his firmest suppor
ters during most of his public career. All he
asked of him now. was firmness and truth,
something which very few of his faithful friends
have received at his hands. He also advocated
a protective tariff.
The remarks of Mr. Grow were effective and
even eloquent, if a man could bo said to be elo
quent on so dry a subject as the Tariff. lie
commenced his speech by saying that of all the
subjects of legislation, the most difficult properly
to adjust in its details is a tariff, for it affects
indirectly every citizen in the form of taxation,
and directly the industrial interests of the coun
try and its commerce with the world. A mea
sure so comprehensive in its effects requires in
its adjustment thorough knowledge as to the
productive industry of nations. It is, therefore,
hardly to be expected that any tariff could be
framed that might not, in some particulars, be
improved. He analyzed,the estimates of Sec
retary Cobb, and showed if those of receipts
were realized, and the expenses did not exceed
his estimates, there would still bo a deficit on
the first of July, 1850, of $1,000,000, with
$20,000,000 Treasury notes unredeemed, and
over $24,000,000 of public debt falling due be
fore July, 1868. The public debt in July, 1857,
was $25,000,000, and in July, iB6O, it will bo
$65,000,000. The current expenses-of next
year will not be less than $55,000,000, while the
revenue, under the present tariff, will not ex
ceed $60,000,000. Thera must be a change of
tariff to raise the revenue necessary for Govern
ment expenses. This bill provides for that
change, and does so in a manner to foster and
protect our own industry in all its branches of
manufacture, agriculture, and mechanic arts.
Speeches were also made on this sabject by
Blair, Longnecker, and other Pennsylvanians.
It was bitterly opposed by Houston of Ala
bama, Millson of Virginia, and Taylor of
Louisiana, who did a great deal of filibustering
to stave it off and to kill it. It is safe in the
House, but it will probably be killed irt the
Senate.

Sta—Please correct a statement made in the
last number of your paper, that the man Duane
Fassett, arrested by Van Etter, of Corning,
“ was a resident of Knoxville, in this county.”
No man by that name has ever resided here or
in this vicinity as far as can be ascertained, and
•* do not desire to claim any more rogues than
isolutely necessary. There has nut been a
mt of this place arrested for a -criminal
\ quite a number of years, *to my certain

that Knoxville is merely a den of thieves
and robbers,

notice of a statement of facts sent him by a

SS&* The Flood. —As April was about to bow
herself out and May to step forward, the blue
sky above put'bn her bast face and looked all
smiles, ns she cheerfully parted with the one
and welcomed the other. For days sunshine
and warmth were with us—the farmer and gar
dener busy stirring op the soil and patting in
seed, and all nature hdrrying to cover up
her nakedness rtnd in the attempt looking very'
green. This pleasant state of things was made
the most of, that seeds and plants might re
ceive the benefit of! an expected wetting not
long to be deferred. The lumbermen mean
while were resting on their oars, hoping for the
good time to come when they might “ tie loose’ 7
and drop down to market with their plunder.
The prospect of a “rise” began to grow hazy,
and their faces elongated as May wore on and
no gentle showers distilled to sink the bottom
of the creeks and bear off the waiting burdens.
At last the dry days gave place ; the rains de
scended and the floods came; they came in abun
dance, and great was the commotion thereof.
Those having hoards, and those having a void
in their pockets which they were desirous of
changing, the old raftsmen and the fresh all
movecj for the swelling waters.
In this immediate latitude there was simply a
smart ihower—one hardly warranting the cer
tainty of a comfortable flood—'many doubting
whether, if they made for Pine Creek, they
would not bo rewarded with their trouble for
their tramp. On reaching the banks of the
navigable streams, their eyes f wore astonished
at the large supply of water, pressed down and
running over. Three to four feet above the
ordinary rafting mark, told them that there was
a likely chance for mischief. Accordingly wo
were prepared to- hear of rafts declaring their
independence and heedlessly rushing from their
anchorage, with no qnc oh board to direct the
course of the rebellious boards, or to run down a
“browser.” We heit of considerable damage
from rafts breaking loose, tearing up stumps to
which they wore tied, and snapping new ropes
with which they were secured. For two or
three days, there was no running, a hold up for
tire waters to abate. Every marketable board
and log will this time take a start for the re
gions below, g-'
—lt was rumored Id out streets to-day (Mon
day), that tho boom of Phelps & Dodge and
the Williamsport boom had broken, the latter
one letting over 70,000,000 feet logs, and was
the occasion of no little anxiety to our citizens,
some of whom were directly interested in the
matter, as all are indirectly. The report was
in a measure contradicted later ih the day
that though there was a partiaK break of the
boom, only some 400,000 feet logs had gone to
market unsawod. We trust the latter may prove
the truth.-
i t&ngias’ Eteceptionk
... [From the Pittsburg Gazette.]
“dcoasional;" of Forney's Press, is engaged
in desperate - efforts to make. Douglas appear
before tbe'eountry in the character of a liberal
minded and patriotic Statesman. A more pre
posterous-claim could not Be iet“np for the
Selfish-little IlllCbis demagogue, nod )be indi
vidual who could seriously constitute him an
object of l his idolatry, would not, in our esti
mation, scruple to fall down and worship a
monkey. There is however no accounting for
.tastes. Id a receni'letler describing a' "reoep-'
tion”' ad the Washington- residence of the [‘little'
giant,” the correspondent goes off into a fit of
eitaeies sufficiently violent to excite the envy
of Jenkins; <
“The traduced statesman of two years ago is
the fashionable favorite of to-day. Carriages
on New Jersey avenue—carriages on Iststrfeet —
liveried servants on the steps waiting for their
masters or mistresses—gay ladies, well dresSed
gentlemen, in kid gloves and raouatachios—
members of the foreign legations—members of
the Senate—an incessant throng from 1 till 4!
Mrs. Douglas was in the midst of her guests, a
little thinner than she was in April of 185 S, but
lovelier and more gentle and more winning
than ever. And at her side, her husband.—
There vtas no exultation in his mien—no bois
terous welcome to his visitors —no politics in
his talk—and yet I thought I could detect in
his air a prouder sensation, so to speak, than I
have ever seen there before. He presented
Strangers to his wife with • a quiet ease and
cordial hearing that you should have seen to
appreciate;”
What a versatile genius Mr. Douglas is, to
be sure! In Washington the centre of attrac
tion to “well-dressed gentleman in kid-gloves
and moustachios,” and in Egypt the dispenser
of corn-whisky to the “huge-pawed democrats”
of that classic region I Is not this statesman
ship of a high order, and would it nht be a
burning shame to exclude from the Presiden
tial chair so worthy an aspirant? But “Occa
sional,” not satisfied with luxuriating in the
delights of a personal interview with the grace
ful champion of popular sovereignty, fondly
ventures to examine the promises t.f which this
great man is master. He strolled into the li
brary, and oh! “what piles of papers —what
reams of letters —what indications of revolu
tionized popular sentiment”—burst upon his
vision ! But enough for one time—such de
scriptions should not be incautiously precipita
ted on ordinary newspaper readers, except in
homeopathic portions.

Bjsllfoxte, May C. 1860.
The ybrth American makes and elaborates
some very strong points against the Democracy, i
which, when condensed amount to about these: j
1. Democracy is the only party that contains |
and encourages, either by silence or by general
applause, great numbers of avowed disunionists. ;
2. It is the only party that contains any advo-:
cates of the re-opening of the slave trade. 3. ,
It is the only party that steadily favors filibus
torism, wars, and annexations, all tending to
destroy good order and the Union, and all
meant cither to strengthen slavery, feed the lust
of plunder, or retrieve a desperate campaign. 4.
It is the only party that has renounced every
doctrine, and broken every compromise, held
£ood by all for sixty yeais, and that solely
for forcing slave labor into the territories. 5.
“■ F'*‘v L -y aror-np.rnetuated or
countenanced so great a sin ae live three years
iof despotic and desperate effort to “onnti* out”
Che sentiments of the citizens of Kansas; 6. It
is the only party that has constantly and shame
fully employed fraud or force at the polls. The
very charge of such infamy has rarely been
formally, brought against any branch of the
Opposition. The democratic contestants for
seats in Congress and the Legislature always
limit themselves to defence and exculpation.
But from Plaqucmine to Aroostook, and from
our Navy Yard to Oxford and Pembina, their
fronds are notoriously free and flagrant. 7.
While no party is entirely guiltless of legislative
corruption and political proscription, democracy
has so far nearly monopolized the business. 8.
The most important point of all for Pennsylva
nians, excepting that of disunionism, is that
democracy stands pledged to Free Trade by its
general principles and its general action. Not
all of the Opposition are protectionists: but
almost all protectionists are of the Opposition,
and the only hope of American Industry is
through them.
Tub Crops in Ohio. —An exchange, in discus
sing the prospects of the grain crop in that
State, says: “The prospect of-an abundant
yield of wheat, rye and barley, were never more
encoufageing within the recollection of the
oldest inhabitant. In regard to fruit, we have
encouraging and discouraging reports, but we
are inclined to the opinion that the fruit is safe
—peaches may have been nipped slightly by
frost, but the crop, if not injured further, will
doubtless prove an abundant one. Upon the
whole, with the present appearance of grain
crops, fruit prospect, and the thrift of vegitation
generally, the grateful heart has great cause to
be thankful and rejoice.”
The Oil Region—Remarkable Discovert.
—The Harrisburg Telegraph says ; '“The other
day we met a gentleman who owns a tract of
land in Venango county, and who recently
visited that region for the purpose of prospec
ting for oil. In one locality, after penetrating
only ten feet, he struck a rich vein of ‘‘flaxseed
oil,” and in another locality the surface indi.
cations of “New Orleans Molasses” were re
garded as unmistakeable. lie is about sinking
a well in the saccharine district, and expects to
strike a vein of “Boston Syrup” at the depth of
about thirty feet. Great excitement prevailed,
and intelligent grocers anticipated an immedi
ate'decline in the price of “treacle.”
Singular Coincidence. —Tho New Orleans
Bulletin says:—“ln concction with the Clay
Statue, our attention is drawn to tne singular
coincidence of the fate attending the statues of
Messrs. Calhoun, Webster and Clay. Mr.
Calhoun's statue, ordered for Charleston, .was
lost in a shipwreck off Fire Island, but finally
recovered with an arm broken, which was subse
quently replaced by Mr, Powers, the sculptor.
The bronze statue of Mr. Webster was lost at
sea, and never’ recovered : but a second was
cast from the same model, and is now in the
State House at Boston. Thejirst model for the
statue of Mr. Clay was also lost at sea.’’ !
TrfE Pro-Slavery Press are very fond of ask
ing why a slaveholder has not the right to
carry “his property” Wherever his business or
pleasure calls him. This question is answered
in the true Yankee fashion by asking another,
viz: “Why can’t I carry my property where I
please ?” as the man said with two pole-cats in
a basket, and a pound of asafetida in each
pocket, Irving to force his way into a ball-room.

The Female Organization is often as frail as
that of a tender flower. Many of the sex enter
into marriage relations without being able to
undergo the labors and trials of maternity. In
this country thousands of young and beautiful
women are sacrificed every year from this cause
alone. Hostetler's Celebrated Stomach Bitters
will save many of this class from an untimely
grave. This medicine has been used with
great benefit by immence numbers of people
throughout the republic, and the proprietors
have received grateful commendations from all
sections of the country. .The Bitters'will be
found to be vety pleasant to the taste, even as
a beverage, and prompt and powerful in its ef
fect as a medicine. It infuses new vitality into
the fvame, and strengthens the whole system,
so that women who use it are enable to go
through with labors which would, without it,
be certain to prostrate them. Sold by all drug

It is hard for Republican members of Con

they denounced him as a coward ; and] when
Potter accepted the challenge of Pryor, the same
parties denounce him as a bully, a murdering
duelist, Cowards if they don’t accept, black
guards and scoundrels if they do, they must be
in a disagreeable petition. Our amiable friends
should not be so unreasonable.
