In his speech at Reading Mr. Douglas
New York, Chenango county, whero, eight
years afterwards his father died, leaving
David an orphan, and little or no property
for the support of tho family. Left thus,
with seven brothura and sisters, young
Randall struggled on to tupport the
family and educate himself. Day-time
found him at his work on tho farms in the
neighborhood, or any other labor that hoi
could liud to do that was honorable, and
the night-time found hiin at his books by
the light of piuo faggots. In this way he
educated himself aud supported a widowed
mother aud his brothers and sitters, till ho
arrived at the ago, and actpiired tho ne

Tho Tonnago Tax Again.
. Jfc Waratd iu Time.
ANDREW G: GURTIN, was Gov.
Pollock's chief official adviser, and Gov.
POLLOCK SIGNED A BILL TO RE
PEAL THE TOJiNAGE- TAX, and all
whether the people of a Territory hud the
constitutional power to prohibit the exis
tence of slavery while iu a Territorial con
dition. Here is the resolution :
. 4. Jictolvid, That tho Question of tho
light of the citizen to hold his slaves in the
Territories of the United Status is a judi
cial aud not a legislative cpiction, and its
decision n committed exchsivdy lo'the
Courts.
Now, this is to plain that no ono can
bo mistaken, and, moreover, it is tho very'
doctrine which is entertained and advoca
ted by Mr. Rueckixuidue. Rut Mr.
Douolas, if we understand his previous
speeches aright-, and wo think wo aro not
mistaken, insists that tho question of slave
ry iu the Territories Unpolitical or legis
lative and not a judicial' ono. Ho claims
for tho pcoplo of tho Territories, acting
through their Legislature, tbo light to'de
cido whether thev will admit- or exclude
olhtr corporation tax's upon tk? I'cnnsyl- - gvery no matter how tho Supreme Court
I'dltd llailroad ! The pcoplo wero sa- 0f thu United States may decide. Rut the
rtd from this result onlv becauso the So-
prero- Court decided the latter clause
(and therefore tho wholo section that cm.
braced it) to bo unconstitutional 1 Col.
Cuiitin approved that act of Gov. Pol
lock, for ho never disavowed it. It is
fair to take it for granted', then, that if he
is elected Governor he will sign a bill to
repeal the Tounago Tax, and would use
tho jtower of his office to havo it pass?d
through tho Legislature. Ho warned
in time, therefore LOOK AT THE
PACTS and thcu look to your iutcrcsts.
Tiiu Rioiir-DtKJTitiNE. Tho subjoined
Beiitlmcntsof eur candidates for the Presi
dency and Viee Presidency, should bo
bubscribed to by every man pretending to
be a Democrat :
Tho Constitution aud' the Equality of
dm States 1 These aro tho symbols of ev
erlasting Union. Let these be the-rallying
'Cries of tho people oAh V. lireckimtdge.
Non-intervention on the subject of sla--very,
I juay emphatically say, is tho car
dinal maxim cf the Democracy. Nou.
intervention by Congress, and non-inter.
talk iu his blandest tones, of his devotion
to Pennsylvania ; his wholo career as a
statesman hurls the lie in his teeth, and a
yell of undisguised execration follows from
tho honest masses, always ready lo forgive
the errors of an impulsivo statesman, but
slow to restore to their confidence him
who has basely deceived them. So much
for his claims upon Pennsylvania.
To tho great West ho has been no bono-
factor. He has opposed- improvements to
rivers and harbors ; protested against tho
erection of light-houses aud bacons, aud
identified himself among tho opponents of
all legislation, m behalf of that section,
and yet his followers represent tbe West
to bo on fire for Douglas. Tho youngest
of us may remember, when the prairies
"blazed with the light of his burning effigy.'
What act of his, since that- tuuo, has cre
ated such n- mighty revolution in bis favor 1
Rut tbe crowuing glory of his wholo
senatorial career, the grand ictip de tint
by which ho expected to ride into power,
is-his-repeal Of tho Missouri Compromise,
a measure which for a quarter of a century
had been sanctioned, by tho most cnlight"
encd aud patriotic statesmen of tho time,
Whether that compromise was constitution
al or not, is not- necessary to discuss,
ivhcthor its restoration is desirable, is not
what wo havo to deal with, certain it ii
that all sections acquiesced iu it, noue
sought its abrogation, even bo himself do
elared that it was cauouizcd'iu tho Ameri
can heart, and posterity would execrate
tho ruthless hand tbat would daro to touch

beginning to waver boioro tho vigorous
charge ol the united aud enthusiastic De
mocracy. It is patent to every one at all
conversant with the history of tho time",
that tho election of Henry D. Foster will
bo the certain defeat of Lincoln and Ham
lin iu Pennsylvania. It is impossible to
disguise tho fact that the gieut battle' in the
Old Keystone must Lo fought iu October,
and not iu November. A l'caiful respon
sibility, therefore, re:ts upon the freemen
of this Commonwealth, as tbe election of a
Democratic Governor will insure tho defeat
of Rcpublican-scctioiuliitu. It will pro
duee a united Democracy in every Stale in
the Union. Its irresistible foiee and pow
er will everywhere combine tho elements
of true conservatism, and iuduco tho sov
ercign people to demand with fearless voice
a solid uiiuu of all tlicir forces, in oppo
sition to the tprejd of those dangerous
piiueiples whiuli nl this timo form tho ba
sis of the Republican party.
It is folly to eloie our eyes to the perils
which bin round our Confederacy. The
election nf Lincoln uud Hamlin, it'eoniuin
matjd, mu.t be pioduciivo of tho mot dis
astvous conM.ir.cnce3. The doctiinci of
tho Republican leaders aru iu direct antag
onism to that equality of the States, with
out which wu cannot hope to preserve the
Union ami the Constitution. This position
cannot be successfully eoutioverted. it
