THE GLOVES
It was a summer’s day,
The flowers deck’d dale and hill,
And gurglingly the streamlet ran
That turned the chatt’ring mill,
The murmurous flies of every tint
Flew glittering through the air,
And buzzing bees did from the limes
Their precious treasure bear.
The air was languid calm and sweet,
With fragrance overlaid.
The slenderest grass unruffled stoop,
The trees no bustle made;
A slumbrous feeling over all
Its gentle influence shed;
The lark could scarcely warble, as
He floated overhead.
And ’neath a broad far-spreading beach
A lovely girl reposed,
The deep fringed curtain of her eyes
Serenely o’er them closed.
Her bright brown hair in clusters fell
Upon her healthy cheek ;
Her rosy lips were parted, as
Some gracious words to speak.
A sunbeam glinting through the tree
Play’d on her forehead fair,
And still more bright and glowing made
The color of her hair. /
I stood and gazed upon that face
As beautiful as Love’s,
Nor wonder you, if stooping low,
I—won a pair of gloves.
From the New York Herald.]
The Presidential Campaign—Breckin
ridge the only Hope against Lincoln.
There are four organized parties and
six different candidates in the held for the
Presidency, and yet n must be apparent
to every intelligent observer, of any party
of faction, that for practical purposes tire
contest is to-day narrowed down to Lin
coln or Breckinridge. Were the Presi
dential election to come off to-morrow, it
is morally certain' that Lincoln would
carry every Northern State, from Maine
to Minnesota, thus giving him 176 elec
toral voles, or iweniy-two more than a ma
jority of the whole electoral vote of the
Union.
Such is clearly the commanding position
of the minority Republican party to-day
but the elements of the great popular ma
jority opposed to it have still the import
ant item of three months and more of val
uable time within which to arrange their
forces for the decisive battle. Nor is
there any longer a shadow of a doubt as
to the course they should pursue. A few
figures will make the case as pluin as a
pikestaff:
The whole electoral vote of the Union. • • • • 308
And oE this vote required to elect is,.152
The Northern electoral vote is.173
And the Southern electoral vote is.120
Thus it will be seen that in addition to
the whole Southern electoral vote, the
parties opposed to Lincoln must carry
northern States enough to cover thirty-two
electoral votes in order to defeat him.
How is this to be done? Let us see.
The whole electoral vote of the South will
surely be cast against Lincoln. This gives
us 120. Add California four, and Or
egon, three, and we have 157 votes to
start with. Add Pennsylvania, twenty
seven. and the sum will be 154, or a clean
majority of five of the whole electoral
vole.
The vote of Pennsylvania, in short,
will decide the election: and how stands
Pennsylvania? In the campaign of 1856
■her Presidential vole was:—
■For Mr. Buchanan; Democrat.230,772
For Col. Fremont, Republican.147,962
For Mr. Fillmore, American. 82,202
The plurality of Mr. Buchanan over
the republican vole was over 82,-GOO, and
bis majority over both wings of the oppo
sition united was 607. Since that day, or
rather since the State contest of 1857, the
local elections of Pennsylvania have gone
against the Democracy by default. The
Republican party there has been merged
in a mongrel combination called the peo
ple’s party ; but the Chicago ticket requires
its supporters everywhere to range them
selves under the republican flag. Thus
the opposition elements of Pennsylvania
which have been working together since
1827, are again divide 1 into two camps,
the Lincoln camp and the Bell camp.
Taking the vote of 1856 as our guide, and
allowing that half the Fillmore vote of
that year has gone over to the republicans,
and, in round numbers.
The vote of Lincoln will be, say.200,000
Add democratic anti- Lecomptan de
serters, say. • . 10,000
And Lincoln’s vote will be.210,000
Reduce the democratic vote to.220,000
And there is still a Democratic plurality
of 10,000. Thus, allowing the old line
Whigs and Americans a free course for
their ticket of Bell & Everett, and making
liberal allowance for American and Dem
ocratic deserters, we see that it is only ne
cessary for the two wings of the Democra
cy to unite in order to carry Pennsylvania
by a pi rality of at least ten thousand over
Lincoln.
Let the Democracy of Pennsylvania,
and of every other Northern Slate, unite
upon a common electoral ticket, and Lin
coln may be handsomely defeated. Tire
South will vote solid for Breckinridge.— 1
California and Oregon will follow suit.
The vote of Pennsylvania, then will only
be required to settle the question against
Lincoln; and there is every reason among
patriotic men for every sacrifice of party
or personal preferences to accomplish this :
result. The factious instructions of sour
ed and reckless party managers should be
disregarded, and the masses of Democracy
should make the defeat of Lincoln their j
first duty and their paramount object.
Pul this Republican party into the I
White House, and before it can be ousted
it may compass the eontroi of every de- J
parlmeol of the federal government.— ,
Then, the Republican doctiinc of negro
equality would be apt to assume a shape
so revolting ns to precipitate the South in
a revolution, the terrible consequences of J
which defy all human calculations. And I
so for the sake of the Union, and the
peace of the Union, the suffrages of all
Northern rnen devoted to the Union should
be cast in the way best adapted to defeat
Lincoln, whose election will be an anti
slavery triumph, which may drive the
South out of the Union.
In this view, as the friends of Mr. Dou
glas can do nothing in any event for their
champion, they should cordially resolve to
do the best they can to save themselves
and their party, which they can only do by j
defeating the Republican ticket.
BRECKINRIDGE vs DOUGLAS
Douglas and Breckinridge are a long
j way apart upon the Territorial issues We
' place in juxtaposition extracts from Doug
las’ Freeport speech in December lest.
They need no comment:
EXTR VCT FROM DOUGLAS’ FREEPORT
SPEECH.
Lincoln’s Sreech.—-Can’t the people of the
United States Territories, in any lawful way,
against the wishes of any citizen ot the Uni
ted States, exclude slavery from thdr limits
prior to the formation of a State Constitu
tion?
Douglas’ Answer.— The next question
propounded to me by Mr. Lincoln is, can the
people of a Territory, in any lawful way,
against the wishes of any citizen of the Uni
ted States, exclude slavery from their limits
prior to the formation of a State Constitution?
1 answer emphatically, as Mr. Lincoln has
heard me answer a hundred times, from every
stump in Illinois, that in rav opinion the peo
ple of a Terri’ory can, by lawful means, ex
clude slavery from their limits prior to the
formation of a Siate Constitution. [Enthusi
astic applause.] Mr. Lincoln knew that I
had answered that question over and over
again. He heard me argue the Nebraska bill
on that principle all over the State in 1854, in
1855, and in 1856, and he has no excuse for
pretending to be in doubt as to my position on
that question. It matters not what way the Su
preme Court may hereafter decide as to the
abstract question, whether slavery may or
may not go into a Territory under the Consti
tution ; the people have the lawful means to
introduce it or exclude it as they please, for
the reason that slavery cannot exist a day or
an hour anywhere, unless it is supported by
local police regulations. [Right, right.]—
These police regulations can only be estab
lished by local legislation, and if the people
are opposed to slavery, they will elect repre
aAntniivP4 fn fhaf. hntlv whn will, hv linfriftnri*
ly legislation, effectually prevent tbe intro
ilucton of it into their midst. If, on the con
trary, they are for it, their legislation will
favor its extension. Hence, no matter what
the decision of the Supreme Court may be on
Lhat abstract question, still the right of the
people to make a slave Territory or a free
Territory is perfect and complete under the
Nebraska bill. I ho| e Mr. Lincoln deems my
answer satisfactory on that point,
EXTRACT FROM MR. BRECKINRIDGE’S
FRANKFORT SPEECH, LAST DECEM
BER.
Mr. Breckinridge has Been speaking of
the Dred Scott decision, and continues as
follows :
Well, that being the case, and it having
been authoritatively determined by the very
tribunal to which it was referred, that Con
fress had no power to exclude slave property
rom the Territories, and judicially determ
ined that the Territorial Legislatures—au
thorities created by Congress—had not the
fower to exclude or confiscate slave property,
confess that I had not anticipated that the
doctrine of friendly legislation would be set
up. Hence, 1 need not say to you that I do
not believe in the doctrine of unfriendly leg-1
is'ation ; that I do not believe in the authority
of Territorial Legislatures to do by indirection
what they cannot do directly. I repose upon
the decision of the Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States, as to the point that neither Con
gress nor the Territorial Legislature has the
~— r.,„„..i.. .a
any citizen, slaves included, pending tlie Ter
ritorial condition. [Applause]
I do not see any escape from that decision,
if you admit that the question was a judicial
one, if you admit the decision of the Supreme
Court, and if you stand by the decision of the
highest Court of the country.
The Supreme Court seems to have recogniz
ed it as a duty of the Courts of the Union, in
their proper sphere, to execute this Constitu
tional right, thus adjudicated by the Supreme
Court in the following language. In speak
ing of the acquisition of territory, they pio
nounceit a political question for Congress to
determine what Territories they may acquire,
and how many. Now mark the words of the
Court.
[Here follows a quotation from the de
cision.]
So that in regard to slave property, as in
regard to any other property recognized and
guaranteed by the Constitution, it is the duty,
according to the Supreme Court, of all the
Courts of the country, to protect and guard it
by their decision whenever the question is
brought before them. To which I only arid,
that the judicial decisions in our favor must
be maintained—those judicial decisions must
be sustained. [Applause.]
If present remedies are adequate to sustain
these decisions, I would have nothing more
done. I with many other public men in the
country, believe they are adequate. If they
arc not—if they cannot be enforced for the
want of proper legislation to enforce them,
sufficient legislation must be passed, or our
Government is a failure. [Applause ] Gen
tlemen, I see no escape from that conclusion.
