Hie Abolitionism Froved—Re is in Favor of Negro Equality The doctrine of clew° equality lays nt the ftmnintion of nll Abolitionism ; for when that doetrine is fully neknowledgea and enr ried out and the negro is put upon an equal ity with the white man, of course slavery would be abolished—there would be no slaves —all would be plaeed upon nit equality. The reason the Itetittblicnns ittsii4 so strenuously upon that doctrine is because it is a sure drive to abolition everywhere ; and no man has more, strenuously insist^d op in it than Mr. Lincoln, for in his celebrated CLINT° speech lie uses the fol:owinz extraordinary language : " I should like to know if, taking this old Decimation of Independence, whica declares that all men are equal upon r making excepto t 9 it, where recd it stop one snags says it does NOT /NW,/ a mewl), why not another say it does mean some other innti —[See Lincoln and Dm,;las Debates, p. edition.) Ile re is n pointed declarntion made I.y Mr. Lincoln that he belieres in the doctrine of ne gro equality without qualifiontion. And to show his rim in expressing his firm belief in the doctrine, he ad.ls: "If that declaration is not the truth, let us get the statute hook and le ir it out 1 If it is not true, let as tear it owl ! Giles of no, no.] Let us stick to it then: let as 'land firmly by 1/I."—[Delates, page 21, Lincoln's edition.] At Galesburg be affirms 'Leyte doclarnitui.s in the following nto-t emphatic words: "1 I•elieve tnot the entiro records of the world from the date of the Declaration of In d. pendence up to within three years ago may be searched in vain fin a singln affirmation, from one single man, awl the negro was not iSa eluded in the Declaration of indepseideucc."— I See Debates, Lincoln's edition, page 178.1 Which simply means that when our fath ers, who were most of them shsveholiers, de clared lltemselres free, they were declaring the NEGROES FREE ALSO. Agnin Mr. Lincoln not only declares that the Declaration of Lade/ eddence includes the negro as created equal, tut he adds that they aro created flee and equal. in the following codicil 141 his benediction at Chicago: " My friends, I could not Ilittsuut launch ing off upon some neir topic, which would de tain you too long,. continue to-night. I thank you fur this most extensive audience you have furnished me to-night. I leave you, hoping that the lamp of liberty will town tp your bo soms until there shall bo nn loLgTr a doubt that all men are created FREE and equal."— jSee Lincoln's edition of Debates, page 24.] Thus interpolating the Declarution of In dependence, in order to carry out his Aboli tion doctrines. That Mr. Lincoln desires to reduce thiS doctrine to practice is proved by turning to the Illinois Jaameal of September 16, 0 , 56, wherein we find hinkrepurted se declaring at a banquet at Chit•ago "That central idea, in our political opin ion, at the beginning was, and,until recently continued to Le, the equably of mem. Arid although it was always submilted patiently, to whatever inequality there seined to be as a matter of actual necessity, its constant working het been a steady progress towards the PRACTICAL, NC %Lin' OF ALL xr.N. " Let past differeneee as indhing le ; and with steady eye on the real is•otes., let 11/1 in nugt:rate the good old central ideas of the Re public. We can do it. The human heart is with us; God is with us. We shatl again be able not to declare that all the States, as States, are equal, nor yet that all citizens as citizens are equal, but renew the broader, better declaration, including bid' tenses and much more, that all men are crested equal." When pushed by Judge Douglas as to his meaning when he declared that " it (slater)) should be placed where the public wince should rest in the belief that it was in the Course of ultimate extinction," lie declares that " I . did not even sty that I desired that slavery should LA rut in course of ultimata extinction. I tb, say so nor, however, so there need be no longer any illifteulty about that.— It may be written dowijarthe great speech." Webster says the vNali ot extiuctiom means " to put out." or " the of putting out," " destruction," or, in othliVerords, AIk)LISUI. At Charleston, 111., MilkiLincoln says : " An elderly gentleman called upon me to know whether I was really iu favor of a PER FECT equality between we negroes and We white people. '—lDelrttos, page Li ti.] And then he goes on to say that ho is not nor ever has been in favor of the icrfecl so cial and political equality of the whites and blacks. And truly adds : "I have never seen to my knowledge, a man, woman, or child who was in favor of producing a PERFECT equality, social and poliliets4 between negroes and a bite men."— I Debates, 136. j Not even Lloyd Gartiaon,Wendell Phillips, Gerrit Smith, Dr. Cheever, or even Greeley or Giddings, are in favor of producing &par fed equality, "rectally suid pulitieallyom the whites and blocks." Bat only a equality. of a perfect social equality. Mr. Lincoln is a 14wyor. and unifies very will how to halos ol,zositins uentitnanta by a con netted verbiage. %Illy did he not say that be wns nut iu f.,vur id' a political Noun _ ty °Whe whites arid block,, ti.stend of et,rup. ling with a " ocial " ceinalic), and quail lying it with the word perfect. A per_feet on. ciul and politicar equalit7 does not &at up on earth even among white men. for in the scale of morals and intellect one is higher or lower than another. as the aim may be.

Wm. A Stokes, nne of the most brilliant speakers in the Slate, and and an early, ardent and undeviating friend of Don gets, recently made a speech in Armstrong county. From a sketch of his remarks we extract the following: He spoke in terms of high respect of Mr. Breekinridge, nnl asserted the integrity of his intentions and of most of those who sup ported him in Pennsylvania. lie urged upon all the necessity of union against the common enemy. We had future battles to fight, and to assure.vktory fur the cause of this coun try m c must close t.ur ranks and concentrate our fires upon the foe. Gen.

Profitable Patriotism The Republicans of the Chester and Dela- Wale district have nominated John Ilickman fur re-election to Congress. Mr. Brqcimall, the nominee of Delaware county, was compell ed to stand aside, in order that Ilickman re ceive the reward of his apostasy. llickman's patriotism is of the paying kind ; he has nev er yet been compelled to testify his devotion to principle by sacrificing his personal ambi tion. Two years ago he professed to be a Democrat of the strictest order. and by divi ding both the Democratic and Republican parties succeeded in being returned to Con gress ; but finding that this game could nut be successfully played over again, bejuined the Republican party just in time to secure% re nomination.

TWO DOLLARS A-YEAR Linoola a Know Nothing. From a ipeeh delivered ip Congress on the 10th of June last by Don. Isrunt N. Norris, of Illinois. w s make the following extract. I remember very well to have heard it said come four years ago that Mr. Lincoln was in Quincy. the city of my residence, attending a Know Nothing lodge. I saw hint there at the time, and I have, no doubt ho went into the halge. If his friends deny it. I am antis fied I qua- prove tbasel. Mr. Lincoln has been seeiing too , for popularity and place not to avail himself of the influence, when be could do it, of an organization so pow erful as that was for a time—more especially as its doctrines harmonized so well with his natural proclivities. The Quincer Heiald. a Democratie news• paper. uses the following l.tngnage tearing upon this point. There is a heap of truth in what the editor says: "The Know Noehiny Elentenl Triumphed,— That the Know Nothing element in the liTack Repub:icsa party triumphed at Chicago, in the nomination of a presidential candidate, is now generally well understood. The contest was narrowed down to Seward and Linonln. So far as the slavery question WAS concerned, they both occupied about the came position.— There was no respect in which Lincoln was preferable to Seward with the Mark Repub licans then and there assembled, except that Lincoln had been a Know Nothing and Sew ard had not. It is well known to many of onr citizens that Lincoln vi?ited a Know Noth ing lodge in this citt. tit• first year that or ganization was in existence. for they saw him. come out, and many - of them saw and heard' him address the lodge while he was in Were. Mr. Seward had never been a Know Nothing. On the contrary, be was one of the first pub lic men in the country to take a bold and open stand against We Kn iw Nothing organiza tion. And it was precisely this that beat him iu,the Chicago convention. It wasp tnwl edge of the fact on the part of the me hers of that convention that Lincoln had been a Knew Nothing, and that Seward' had not, that nominated Mr.-Lineoln." lispublicanism and John Brownism. The Republicans of Massachusetts have nominated one John A. Andrews fur Gover nor. the man who juntilled John Brown. In November last in a speech he said: "I pause not to ennsiacr, IM eatue it is whol ly outside 'of the duty or the thought of thin asnembly. to-night, whether the enterprise of John Brown nod his annocinten in Virgin ia au wino or forlinh, right or wrong. I know only that u bolter the enterprise itrrlr was the one or the uther, Juitia..thowishininc/1 wen right."

The duty, thee, of all true Democrats, is plain. It is, that they go to work at once. Union and Harmony. The Berke county Democracy have set a good example. At their regular County Meet ing. on Tuesday week, the friends of Brock inridge and Douglas acted together as a unit, and (without saying eight rest ecting Presi dential candidates) unanithentsly passed retro lothnur endorsing the nomination of Gen. Bum* D. Parma, and urging the importance of union and harmony in the party. The meeting was address. I by gentlemen from both wings of the party, and the utmost good feeling prevailed. Tnis is as it should be, and if thu Democracy everywhere will but follow the wimple of old Berk', we shall have no trouble in cat tying the State in Octo ber kind November. The Pittqburg Gazette, week before last, charged that the Catholic Frieiits of Berko and Schuylkill counties had :old the people from the pulpit to vote fur Foster for Governor. The Pittsburg CaMaio denied the statement, and called fur proof. The Gazette refuses to give names or dates, and says the editor of the Catholic should hunt them up himself. This is an old dodge of the Gazette. The editor makes a charge against Catholics, which he knows to be false, and fails to respond to the call for proof. This is in accordnace with the morality of the Gazette, but has never yet found favor among gentlemen.— Grerasburg Democrat. Old Ale's Ow.t Slate.—The Blivek Republi cans brag " a good bit" abbot their ability to carry Illinois. t The -16 first gun" from that State, however, does not seem to indicate that their claim is well founded. A special election was bald in Galena, a few days ago, foi City Treasurer, and the Republicans made special etTurta to carry it, but were not successful, the Democrats electing their candidate by more than the usual majority. Galena is the centre of a strong Republican district.

Several l'erzont Fridoy even ing a made meeting of the Bell and Everett party in Philadelphia, at the corner o( Broad and South streets, was broken up by parties belonging to a Republican club. The Lodger bee the following account of the affair : Soon after the organization the Republican Ir.vincibles passed in procossi.,n, followed by an immense crowd. While it was moving by, cheers were given for Lincoln and llarnlin on one side, and for Bell and Everett on the other, but there was not any fighting. In a few minutes, stones wore thrown from a Crowd that had gathered on the southwest corner of Broad and South streets, and this was kept up until the 801 l and Everett men rallied in sufficient force to drive them,baek. The speaking wa.s then resumed, but it was not long before it was again interrupted in a eimPar manner. The speaker was stoned, and most of those on the stage were struck and injured, among whom were reported to be the Hon. Edward King and David Paul I Brown, Esq. The assailants were now. in 'sufficient force to drive off the Bell and Ever ett men, and did so for a considerable Broad distance up street. Orders wore then sent to the Bell and -Everett headquarters for rein forcements, which, upon arriving succeeded in beating back the rioters. A running fight followed, in which brickbats and. stones were thrown and pistols were fired. A few police men were on the ground when the attack was ,made, but they did not remain. Finally, after more than an hour's bard fighting, the Bell and Everett men were driv en off aqii i the meeting broken up. The (E -6s and eskers were stoned and pelted with rotten• eggs, and after they were obliged .to leave, the stage was demolished._ Reports were current that several men were shot, and from the number of reports of pistols:-they were no doubt true, but the names of the in jured could not ho ascertained. The driver of the cart containing the large bell generally used in the processions, was said to be one of the number. One of the "minute men " nam ed Smith, was severely out in the held, and several were badly hurt with stones. A pos se of the seventemith ward police made their appeara , :ce when the riot was drawing to n close and arrested nine of the alleged rioters. The whble affair was one of the most disgraceful attempta to interfere with the right of tree discussion that has evet taken place in this city-.and the rioters should be made an example of. It is sup posed that the outrage was in retaliatiort for a disturbance created byL s artiea burrning n for Bell and Everett at theßep ublican sere nade" to Mr. Sherman on We. esday even ing. • On Saturday the parties arrested bad a hearing befure Alderman Conker. Their names are as follows: Thomas Phillips, Lesley Irving, John Iladdinger, Lewis List, Samuel Brown, John Reilly, Tbuunts Gentler, Joshua Russel. There was no positi% ee% i denee against any of the defendants, and they were held to bail to keep the pewee. Vacs mu CIABLICIIIMPRII TALLIIT 11111111 , -.DOCCICAS. The Flight Talk.

We tiek all to read its produc tion and be convinced that the union men, and not the "straighte," are the true friends of Douglas— The Committee appointed by Hendrick B. Nrright, Chairman of the Mass Convention, held at Harrisburg, met at that place on the 15:h, and resolve& in secret session, as we are informed, to place " a clear Douglas elec toral ticket" in the field. As the frie.o 1 of Mr. Douglas, and an ardent desirer of his success, we condemn this movement: It was in the power of this Committee to have render ed a very great service to the Democracy by recommending the support of the compromise at Cresson. Instead of this, the Committee has taken such action as will assist the Re publican party in the election of Lincoln.— They seem to have utterly repudiated the idea of any effort to preserve the Demecratiti or-. ganirttion of the State, and by declaring against it, have given great satisfaction to the Opposition. By openly going over to the Republican ranks, this Coinraittee could sin serve the cause of Litioulli more effectually than they have done by their efforts to create and coutinue a division in the Democratic ranks. No true friend of Mr. Douglas can, with any consistency, favor this Harrisburg move ment. It is, in fact, a bolter's ticket. The ticket nominated at Reading is certainly the only authorized and regnlar ticket of tho Dein °critic organization of the State. We do net wish the name of Mr. Diuglas to be associated with disorganization. We do. nut with to see hi:n run on a minority ticket.

Under no contingency which can possibly arise ander the resolution, can the Cresson miasmata possibly be of any benefit to any other multi date for President than Mr. Douglas. But those who - still bold out in favor of State disorganisation, openly admit that they prefer Mr. Lincoln to any other Democrat than Mr. Douglas.
