The Tyraarty of Slavery.
The tyranny of slavery is as detestable
as any otherform of-tyranny on the faCe
- of the globe: A., few yetria.s4o . , there
'was a Buildl party, only, with 'Mt. Cal
houn at the bead of it, who assumed -the
extreme ground that, the territories of the
TJulted-Buitesiln their. virgin character,
was -subject to the inroad* of slavery; -
hence that Slayeholders had a right to es
tablish`slaveryin, all our territories: and

But the area body of the peo 7

titePederal-Oovernmeet or the people of
oilier Steles,- Mr. Lineoln Maids this doe- .
trine -now. 7 This was' also - clearly Mr.
Clay's views; and many of our first states,
men, believe that it ie. the unly,..poll - ey to
keep Ai* vexed qmistion out of Congress
and: ont of. This is conservative '
doctrine, - and- the only one that we can . ,
see justly entitled nto the name: . The
views : upon the question of slavery, en
tertained by. Mr.. Lincoln and his friends,
cannot even - ha:distorted to mean inter
ference with sfaiery as it exists. in the
States ; Where it constitutionally belongs.
.•;'Nevertheless . the conservative view will
tot be' tolerated by some of the slave
States... People in them,- whether slave
holders ea -not, are-not permitted to es
press :opinions , in favor of conservatism.
They-must either. proclaim the universal
ity of elaiery, or forever hold their peace.
The Conatitution of. the United States is
plaid and - emphatic as to the right 'x,f the
people-freely .to assemble together' upon
all 'public. occasions, and it guarantees
freedom otspeech and • the press. But
this rn~ht is.opealy ignored .in the slave
States,...ind peremptorily denied; while
the eitension.of slavery, which is nowhere
provided'-forin the Constitution, in any
contiimency, and cannot be perverted to
*auction it. is insisted upon by them as'
the very esseace of. this iustrumetit, and
the all-absorbing principle of the country.
We have been led to these remarks,
by the fellowing eircumtatice which has
takV'plitae in Virginia. Recently cern- ,
taut' citizens erected a liberty pole upon
private property, in the village of Oeco
quart -in that State, from the top of which
waved the-American - flag' with. the Liam es
of Lincoln and Hamlin inscribed upon it.
The pole lad been raised onlyn-few days,
whoa a rumor was heard that a - party was
orgatnied some distance off to cut it down.
Hearing this, the Republicans applied to
the Orivermat for proteciiiindand ar,
onee - ordered a company of cavalry, which
proniply appeared and took position. Ou
Friday last, however, a party of ammt for
ty-persons, Who had beeu regularly organ
ized and under the commaed of a captain
made their appearance at Oceoquan par.;
tially - armed, , formed a hollow square
around the pole; without hindrance from
iltentivalry,7fell it to round, and cut
it. info Pieces: Not iatiAied With this,

date for: the Tresideuey, whose. residence

where freedom practically prevaili, every
- .
question involved in'. the politics of the
day, is freely discussed; and there is none
to make us afraid. The contrast can be
easily drawn.— Germantown Telegraph.
"ONE of the authors of Mr. Lincoln's
biography relates an interesting instance
of the latter's political - sagacity. He had
triumphantly answered that set of inter
roaatories which Mr. Douglas calculated
would crush him;and in return had Made
up his. mind that-his" antagonist should
be presented with a colleotion.. His plan
was to compel him, by public interroga
tion, to repudiate the Dred Scott deei
shin or the doetrine of unfriendly legii
lation in" the' Territories. Before the dis
eugsion commenced at Freeport, Mr. Lin
coln informed his friends of his intention .
eion.: They unanimously counseled him
to thandoti his purpose j " for," said they,
" if purthat question to him, he will .
perceive that an answer gi v ing practin t i,
force and effect to the Dred t Scott decision ;
in the Territories inevitably- loses , hint
the battle,-and he will therefore reply by
affirming thedecision as an abstract prin-,
cipal, but denying its practical applica
tion!' "But," said Mr. Lincoln," if he
does.that be can never be President"—
His . friends replied, "That is not yotir
lookout—pit are after the Senatorship.".
"No, gentleman," said:he, "Jam killing
larger game te Tbe ' %attic of 1860 is
worth a hundred -of, this 1" From the
day that Mr. I.7ouglits • promulaated this
doctrine of " unfriendly legislation " to
stse,birose)f iu Illicoia , be was a doomed
man in all the Smith, and the'" battle of
MO" was won for the 'Republicans,
though lir. Lincoln of course mild not
know that he was. to •be their ' , gallant
legder. • :•••" •

iiss.:Bo fat as .we have been able to
learn during the past week, the county
ticket nominated on the 2d inst., meets
the approbation of Republicans in every
section of the county. Indeed, the peo
ple-seem to be very generally well pleased
with the selections. Independent 'can.
didetes are not so plenty this yearat this
time as , they usually have been, which
we regard as an evidence:of the'satisfae-
Lion of the 'people with the ticket. The
only grumbling weltave 'heard is confined
to•this village, end is the offspring of Pei
anal disappointment rather than dissat
isfaction with the ticket.
ler The Missouri _election has resulted
glorionisly as fares heard from, and though
a Douglas democrat is probably elected
Governor, the strength of the Opposition
been'vnade so manifest that the most
fastidious hunker grieves in his boots for
the glory of his party.' The greatest vic
tory for the Opposition, however, is found.

in passing. Abe Lincoln appeared on'the
ground in a carriage, when he was siezed
upon by the crowd, pulled out of his car
riage; carried to the - stand, arid forced to
make a speech. We give it herewith; it
is a model for brevity and extemporane
ous grace, and the democratic candidates,
who are scouring the East and the South
with two-hour electioneering speeches,
could adopt the lesson it teaches, with
profit to their party and. themselves.
'Tete is the speech entire:

Letter from L. A Mackey, Eq.
It affords us much pleasure to lay the
following very gentlemanly letter , before
our readers, and in doing so, we assure
Mr. Mackey that any injustice we may
have done him by reference to his name
in connection with the Congreisional
nomination, w4s unintentional, we_ being
mislead by the position of the Watchman
into a misinterpretation of the card of
"an old line whig." We make this
acknowledgment all the more cheerfully,
because of the niauly position of 'Mr.
Mackey, and the compliment he so justly
pays to the Hon. - Jas. T. Hale, in whom
the people of this district have' unwaverr

no-time desired to take the nominatios.of
a candidate out of the hands, of the peo
ple—on the- contrary, we 'here protest
against any such action; but we -ire of
those whir belietie that the nomination
and electiOn of a memberof Congress, or
of Assembly, by cur party for one term,
entities • him to a re-nomination at- its
hands,• unless he violates the confidence
of the party by misfepresenting it. We
regard this, as a part of our" party disci
pline "—at least it is the general custom
of the party. Viewing itthus, we regard
the formalitfof a conference as unneces
sary, and more espeeially if the several

nates the sitting member as their choice.

to surrender the immaterial portion of

can be Pp•pularized in a nation of so di
verse interests and so greaemagnitude as.
ours, lidless it be l frafernized with more
general iideas; and party organization is
the mo4t, direct means of this fraterniz•
ation. f
Party, therefore, is a political necessity
in a free government,—just as opposition
is the/foundation ipon which monarchies
build/their administrative power. Oppo
sition ibduCes the monarchial government
'to emitralizo itss l ree in order to .intimi
datelite, own friends rather than'its ene-
mica; because a monarchy in power can
not be overcome e l acept by the desertion
of its own supporters. . . Its corruptions,
therefore, become its very life. But, hi
a freegovernment like ours, party- spirit
has a very different effect. It enables'the
people\ to constrain the' power of the ad
mioistrution by a eritical review of its ac
tions, and in sol doing, by .Periodical
changes of the party in power, itiprevents
I
corruption and popularizes the kaoWledge
of the tending measures of .the 'different,
parties. 1 No party can_well be sustained
in power during two decades of 'years, or
even one.' A long use of power leads to
its abuse, and thud are we brought to see
the necessity of party as a governinent
purgative. We 'realize its full force just
