BRECKINRIDGE vs. DOUGLAS.
Douglas and Brecl»inridge are a lone
way opart upon the Territorial issues We
place in juxtaposition extracts from Doug
las’ Freeport speech In December lest.
They need no comment:
EXTRACT FROM DOUGLAS’ FREEPORT
SPEECH.
* Lnrt'or.v’s Speech.—Can’t tile people of the
United States Territories, 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 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?
I answer emphatically, aj Mr. Lincoln has
heard me answer a hundred times, from every
stump in Illinois, that in my opinion the peo
ple of a Terrifory can. by lawful means, ex
clude slavery from their’limits prior to the
formation of a Slate 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 b.e 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
sentatives to that body who will, by unfriend
ly legislation, effectually prevent the intro
ducton 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 he on
that 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 hope Mr. Lincoln deemsiny
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 determine,t t>v
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 Teriitorial 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
islation; 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
right to obstruct or confiscate the property of
any citizen, slaves included, pending the Ter
ritorial condition. [Applause.]
I do not see any escape from that decision,
if you admit that the question was a judicial
ode, if von admit the decision of the supreme
Court, and if you stand by the decision of the
feigbest 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 pro
nounce it a political question for Congress to
determine what Territories they may acquire,
add how many. How 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 1 only add,
that the judicial decisions in our favor must
be maintained.—those judicial decision? 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
are 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.
Keep It Before the People ?—To
show how thoroughly Mr. Douglas is com
mitted against the decision of the Supreme
Court, on the question involving the pow
ers of a Territorial Legislature, we pub
lish below in parallel columns their re
spective views on this subject.
“ The right of pro-! “ The neoDle of a
pet ty in a slave is dis ; Territory can, by law
tinctly and expressedlyful means, exclude sla
affirmed in the Consti- very before it come3 in
tution,” and that “ noias a State and “no
tribunal acting underjmatter what may be
the authority of theithe decision of the Su
United Stales, whefher preme Court on that
it be legislative, exe-labstract question, still
cutive, or judicial, hasdhe right of the people
a right to draw a dis-tof the Territories to
tinotion or to deny to ikmake a slave Territory
the benefit of the pro-:or a free Territory is
visions and guarantees,iperfect'and complete.”
•which have been pro--[S. A. Douglas,
vided for the protection^
of private property.”;
■“And if Congress it-!
self cannot do this—if
it is beyond the power
conferred on the Feder
al Government-it could {
not authorize a Terri-:
torial Government to '
exercise them. It could
confer no power on any
local Government, es
tablished by its author- ]
ity, to violate theprin- ,
ciples of the Constitu- J
tion.” “The only pow- (
er conferred is the poav-! .
er coupled with the du- 1
ty of guarding and pro c
tecting tire owner in;
his right.” [Supreme (
Court, U. S.
--- c
# * * I have now shown, I trust, beyond i j
controversy, that Congress has no power! ■
whatever to prevent citizens of the South
ern Slates from emigrating with their pro- 1
perly into the Teriitories of the United I
States, or to give an exclusive monopoly c
of them to the ’’forth. I now propose to t
go one step farther, and show that neither
the inhabitants of the territories nor their C
legislatures have any such right. A very 1
few words will be .'-•ufficent for this pur- J
pose; for of all the positions ever taken, t
I hold that which claims for them the pow
er, to be most absurd.— [John C. Cal

Gen. Yell.—We are in receipt of a
letter from this gentleman, in which he
states that he was not able to fill his ap
pointments at Brownsville and Des Arc,
from the fact of his having to attend to an
important law-suit for one of his clients in
the Hot Spring Court, on Monday last.
•-» —
Rost and Hindman at Des Arc.—
On Saturday last these two gentlemen ad
dressed a large audience, in accordance
with previous appointment. Col. Rost
led off in a speech of one and a half hours,
in which he endeavored to sustain Mr.
Dougins and his Squatter Sovereignty doc
trines. The Colonel is a man of fine ap
pearance, and received, as he deserved,
the sympathy of the crowd, who (at least
the Democratic portion of it) regretted to
find him so far astray from the Democratic
fold.
Col. Hindman’s rejoinder was not only
able, but convincing. He showed that
Col. Rust’s positions were antagonistical
to the Democratic party and the South.
The frequent interruptions by Col. Rust
were enough to convince the most skepti
cal that Col. Hindman was more than a
match for his competitor, not only in ar
gument, but in all that constitutes a popu
lar declaimer and a close discerner of the
true interests of the country. We had in
tended to present our readers with an ab
stract of the arguments presented on the
occasion, but ill-health has prevented us
from doing so. Wre have in reserve a
faithful exposition of their positions, and
shall, at an early day, present them to our
readers.
There were but few Douglas men pres
ent—say five—and the applause Col. Rust
received was from the Bell and Everett
men, who are ready to seize upon any
subterfuge that presents itself, to show
their dislike to the principles and policy
of the Democratic party. Even yet, these
worshippers at the shrine of Bell and Ev
srett give Col. Rust a position superior to
hat of Col. Hindman in the discussion
nst Saturday. The honest masses say
iifferently. They are more than satisfied
vith Col. Hindman. He held aloft, far
ibove that of his colleague in Congress,
he claims of Breckinridge and Lane
iver all others, and by his superior elo
[uence and argument, left the impression
hat although Col Rust was a gentleman
if genial nature and kindly intentions,
'el his political dogmas were incorrect,
nd the masses would so decide in Novem
er next.
■ ■■■- .■■
Breckinridge and Lane Club.—A
Jreckinridge and Lane Club, for White ,
liver township was formed on Thursday (
vening last. Col. W. W. WAin wasse
:cted Chairman, and D. W. Monroe
ppointed Secretary. The Club adjourn- ,
d until Saturday evening last. (
On Saturday evening the Club met ac- (
ording to appointment. After transact- (
ng their business, Col. T. C. Hindman,
y request, made one of the most stirring |
nd patriotic addresses which we have (
eard for years. He traced the history ^
f parlies from the days of Jefferson down ! '
d the present time, and showed beyond j
oubt that the opponents of Brechin- : _
;idge & Lane were the same class of',
politicians who have ever opposed the De-!
aocracy—that it was the duty of the true
xen of the country to array themselves un- i
aistukeably against those who would bar- \
or our dearest rights under the Constitu- (
ion for the sake of place and power.
Col. Hindman was followed by Capt. i
J. McCreeby, Col. R. S. Gantt and ]
Vm. T, Jones, Esq., in pertinent and j
hcering addresses to the Democracy. i

l^JIKTE OHEEHS
FOR
Rector, Hindman and
„ Gantt ! ! !
Thrones before have trembled with the
upheaving of the mighty masses. Dynas
ties of other days and ether lands have
learned how feeble was the power of their
petty combination when a people’s majes
ty has been offended. In instructive ages
past, the haughty patrician has known
what it was to tremble before the frown of
tribunes of the people.
The lesson has been again forgotten
“Whom the gods wish to destroy they first
make mad.”
The graceless “ plowboy,” the derided
Judge, has triumphed over the combined
power of money, kindred, place and fac
tion.
Ccesar had his Brutus; Charles the First
had his Cromwell, and Johnson—has met
his Rector. “Cincinnatus” has been call
ed from his Saline farm to be the Gover
nor of Arkansas.
Hindman is our Representative from the
first district.
An honest people have chosen the veil
ed prophet of Khorassan to represent them
in Congress. The ‘‘bully and impostor” is
sustained by the people. Who says there
is no providence in the affairs of men.
Gantt is our Representative from the
second district. The young man who
couldn’t get the support of a cabal, who,
by that cabal, was denied his.rightful nom
ination of a convention, has been nomina
ted by the ballot-box. The road to the
breasts of the masses is surer than the
road to Little Rock. Hurrah for the bal
lot-box and the institutions of Democra
cy !
In the shadow of the very throne, in our
own county, unbought freemen have cho
sen to exercise their preferences, and
shown that princes have no rights as prin
ces in a land of liberty.
The sceptre has departed from Judea!
Horse, foot and dragoons ! Napoleon
was not more signally defeated at Water
loo.
It will need no Helena to secure their
banishment.
Salt River is distance and retirement
enough.

Rector, Hindman and Gantt’s Ma
jorities.—At last accounts the official re
urns had not come to hand at Little Rock.
Rector’s majority is put down at between
hree and four thousand ; Hindman’s be
ween three and four thousand,aud Gantt’s
letween four and five thousand.
Bell and Everett Pole.—The Bell
ind Everett men erected a pole in Des
\rc last Friday, on which they have hung
i "streamer," and a flag bearing the names
>f their candidates, (except Douglas and
fohnson.) From the "hearty manner”
vith which they cheered Coi. Rust, on
Saturday, it is natural to presume that
hey neglected part of their ticket. When
3ol. Hindman adverted to their "crooked
hing,” they raised a loud cry for Bell and
Everett, and lost, for several minutes, what
ittle political manners they ever had.
3ol. Hindman administered a slight re
ivoof by way of showing them that Mr.
■fell had once been in favor of abolishing
lavery in the District of Columbia, which
ome of them didn't recover from until late
Saturday night.

j How. Wm. L. Yancey.—This pro
j found statesman and orator addressed the
people of Memphis on the night of the
14th inst. Over ten thousand people
were present. The Memphis Avalanche
of the 15th says :
"Mr. Yancey more than equalled him
self last night. The outburst of touching
eloquence, which characterized his speech,
will never fade from the minds of the
aroused and enraptured multitude that
| listened with such breathless anxiety.—
The vast assemblage rose and dispersed
in a perfect phrenzy of applause. The
demonstration was significant and not to
be mistaken. The hearts that gave forth
such wild applause, was full to overflow
ing with admiration for the matchless or
ator. If Mr. Yancey did not succeed in
winning converts to the cause of Breckin
ridge, he certainly made numerous con
verts to himself.”
The Bell and Everett men, who
have been industriously circulating the re
port that Mr. Breckinridge had called a
consultation of his friends to decide upon
the propriety of withdrawing his name
from the Presidency, are invited to exam
ine a dispatch which we publish to-day.
Great News from Texas—Abolitionists
Shot and Hung, etc.
By our Texas exchanges we receive
further particulars in regard to the excite
ment growing out of the suspected Aboli
tion conspiracy. The Nacogdoches
Chronicle of the 7th inst., has the follow
ing items on the subject:
Ellis County.—A young woman who
had been employed in a store at Waxa
hatchie was hung a few days since for
giving strychnine to slaves to put in
wells.
Smith County.—The man wbo was
shot in the attempt to set fire to Tyler has
been found dead.
Cherokee Nation.—The Paris Press
speaks of a rumor of a bloody fight which
took place in the Nation, between Aboli
tionists and pro-slavery men, in which 150
of the former were killed and 7 of the lat
ter. This story is most probably a fabri
cation.

himself under penalty of his life not to

State.
Cherokee County.—The citizens of
Cherokee have organized for their protec
tion.
More Incendiarism. — Another at
tempt has been made to fire buildings
near Tyler, also in Brenham and George
town.
Another Great Fire.—The Houston
Telegraph, of the 11th, says: “We learn
from a gentlemen who passed through
Henderson, in Rusk county, on last Mon
day morning, that the town of Henderson
was set on fire last Sunday night, the 5th
inst., and was almost entirely consumed.
Every house on the square, except one,
including all the business houses in the
place, was destroyed. The people of Hen
derson, our informant says, put no faith in
the reported conspiracy, and neglected to
appoint a patrol or keep watch. The fire
was discovered on Sunday night about 9
o’clock. No clue has been discovered to
the perpetrators of the deed.”
Preacher Hung at Veal’s Station.
The Fort Worth Chief, of the 1st inst., has
the following brief notice of the execution
of an abolitionist conspirator: “We learn
that a preacher by the name of Buley was
hung at Veal's Station last week for being
an nctive Abolitionist. A majority of
three men condemned him.”
A Discovery in Brenham. — The
Brenham Ranger of the 10th says: “ A
few days since several negroes were ar
rested on Mili Creek, in this county, who
acknowledge to their having poison given
them by white men for the purpose of poi
soning their owners and families, and that
the day of election was the time fixed for
a general insurrection. They also im
plicated some negroes about town as being
concerned in the murderous plot.”
Another Emissary.—The Houston
x cifgi u jju, ui iiiu a Liu iusi. suys : uu
Monday last a white man rode up to Mr.
Dick Breeding’s near Round Top, at noon,
and finding nobody hut a negro girl at
home, questioned her about runaway
horses, etc., aud finally asked her bow
she and the negroes were satisfied. He
then went off, and fifteen minutes after
returned with three negroes, demanding
something to eat. The woman gave them
food. After eating they broke open a
trunk in search of money. They then pul
a shovel full of fire in the bed, and left.
After they were gone, the negro woman
extinguished the fire and then ran to the
overseer’s house to tell him what had hap
pened. The affair caused a good deal of
excitement. Evidence seems to be accu
mulating to show some concert among a
set of desperadoes, in deeds of outrageous
villainy.”
The Choctaws.—We learn from the
Fort Worth Chief that the Choctaws are
about to call upon the General Govern
ment for assistance to procure provisions
for the people of the Nation, as ther crops
have almost entirely been destroyed by
the drouth. We learn from good authori
ty that there will not be corn enough rais
ed in the whole Nation to last them until
Christmas, and as the appropriation of the
money due the Nation failed in Congress
last session, they are going to appeal to
:he Government for assistance in some
shape, to keep them from starving.
_-r t i- i
Is John Bei l Hound?—The Atlanta
American usks this question, aud the op
aosition papers generally re-echo it. In
utswer, we beg to say that, up to this
ime, every effort to produce a sound from
he Tennessee Bell has proved unavailing.
It is as silent as a bell without a clapper,
►specially when any effort is made to ring ,
t by Southern men, who desire to know
a*here it stands on the great issue of the
lay. It should be a consolation, however,
o Bell and Everett men, to know that their i
irgacs are determined to make up for the
iience of their candidate, and are all
ound and nothing else.

Ton'll destroy the Union.
Every day we are told by the L nion
croakers, says the Memphis Avalanche ;
that if we insist on our constitutional
rights, we will destroy the Union, the glo
rious Union I In 1776 the Tories said,
to advocate the principles of the Declara
tion of Independence, would have a ten
dency to divide the Union of His Majesty
King George III. Our fathers thought
the preservation of His Majesty s “ Glori
ous Union” was not worth the sacrifice of
honor required, and hence they destroyed
the Union. They hung a few Tories, and
nobody blames them ; they had one Ar
nold, who at first approved of the action
of the seceders, and afterwards betrayed
them. Shall we be more fortunate than
our ancestors? If adherence to right
brings on dissolution of the Union, who
will be to blame? Who are the aggressors?
Do we of the South propose to deprive
the North of any right? No! We only
ask to be let alone.
We only ask to be governed by the
law and the constitution. If by main
taining the right, if by defending our li
berties, we will divide the Union, then in
God’s name, “let the Union slide.’ No
doubt we shall have Tories in our midst
who will declare “the aspect of affairs
ominous of trouble and injury to the good
people of these Slates,” and who “consid
er it incumbent on those who are in favor
of the perpetuity of the institution of the
Government, (submission to wroDgs) the
integrity (public plunder) power and au
thority (the election of Douglas, and the
triumph of squatterdom), of the Demo
cratic party, to meet in their respective
counties, &c.” We must defend our rights
at every hazard; and not wait for unanim
ity in public sentiment. These Union
savers are the worst enemies of the Re
public. Their craven cowardice, or what
is worse, the desertion of their own homes
and firesides is an invitation to future ag
gressions, outrages and insults. But for a
fear of dissolution of the Union, Fremont
would to-day be President of the United
States, and whenever these Union shriek
ers succeed in convincing the North that
the South will submit to any outrage upon
her constitutional rights—and that she can
not be kicked out of the Union, that mo
ment will the spirit of fanaticism extend
its aggressions.— [Montgomery, Aiaoama,
Mail, opposition paper.
Prentice’s Opinion or Breckinridge.
—Mr. Prentice wrote the following about
Breckinridge, when he was a member of
Congress:
“ We ascribe nothing of corruption or
dishonor to Breckinridge himself. We be
lieve him to be a conscientious and hono
rable as well as a most able man. We
have been half afraid, during the canvass,
to express fully our opinion of him, lest
our Whig friends in bis district and else
where might deem it untrue to the interest
of our party. Paragraphs written by us
some months ago in relation to Mr. Breck
inridge have been kept at the heads of his
newspaper organs throughout the conflict,
and we can, aud do, emphatically reas
sert every word of these paragraphs. Mr.
Breckinridge is a pure and noble-hearted
man and a liberal minded politician; he
has earned and won, at home and at
Washington, as high a reputation for tal
ents as belongs to any man of his age in
the United States. We do not know of
any gentleman we would rather see in
Congress, and if he lived in a Locofoco
district, Linn Boyd’s, for instance, we
should sincerely rejoice in his election.
“The Hon. John C. Breckinridge, in a
letter to his constituents, declines a re
election to Congress. He will be much
missed in that body. His great urbanity,
his perfect fairness, and his powerful tal
ents made him one of the very foremost of
its master spirits. He has a national rep
utation, and nobly has he won it.”
