Proceedings of the White River Town
•hip Breckinridge and Lane Club.
Thursday Evening, August 16.
A portion of the Democracy of White River
township met at the Mayor’s .office, in the
-O .vn of Des Arc, for the purpose of organiz
ing a Breckinridge and Lane Club.
On motihn of J. C. Morrill, Col. W. W.
Wair was|calledto the chair, and D. W. Mun
roe appointed Secretary.
On motion of J. C. Tarkinton, J. C. Morrill
was requested to explain the object of the
meeting, to which he responded in a courteous
and agreeable manner, at some length, amid
continued applause. His remarks caused the
Democrats present to look more than cheerful,
and confident of success under the banner of
their chosen leaders,Breckinridge and Lane.
He urged the formation of a Breckinridge
and Lane Club, and called upon every man
who was for the Union under our glorious
Constitution to enroll their names as members,
and exert themselves in sustaining the true
Democracy.
On motion, it was
Resolved, That we form a Breckinridge
and Lane Club.
On motion, a committee of five, consisting of
Messrs. J. C. Morrill, T. R. Lawrence, J. C.
Tarkinton, D. W. Munroe and J. C. Butler
were appointed to procure the names of mem
bers to the Club.
On motion, the chairman was added to the
committee.

The Club met at the Grove, and was called
to order by the chairman.
The committee asked further time to report,
which was granted.
Hon. T. C. Hindman being present by in
vitation, was introduced, and entertained the
Club, together with the audience present, with
a speech which was alike creditable to his
talents and the noble cause in which he has so
long been enlisted. He traced the history of
narties from the times of .Tpfforsnn to (ha nnc.
ent day, and showed conclusively that the op
ponents of Breckinridge and Lane were the
same, in principle and motive, as those who
composed the old Federal party. He urged
the Club to unity of action and unity of pur
pose—to stand by the old landmarks, and
maintain their principles by reading and cir
culating Democratic documents and Demo
cratic newspapers. His speech was replete
with political facts that will be remembered
throughout the canvass, and many of his polit
ical opponents admitted that it was unanswer
able.
Col. Hindman was followed by Capt. D.
McCreery, of White, in a humorous and tell
ing speech j after which Col. R. S Gantt
and Wm. T. Jones. Esq., of Brownsville, ad
dressed the Club in well-timed and appropri
ate speeches.
The meeting, throughout, was of the most
orderly character, and the hearts of the De
mocracy were made glad by the arguments
and noble bearing of those who addressed
them.
On motion, the Club apjourned to meet on
Thursday evening. W. W. WA1R, Ch’n.

BRECKINRIDGE vs DOUGLAS.
Douglas and Breckinridge are a long
way apart 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.
Lincoln’s Speech.—Can’t the 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, as Mr. Lincoln has
heard me answer a hundred times, from every
stump in Illinois, that in my opinion the peo
ple of a Territory can, by lawful means, ex
clude slavery from their limits prior to the
formation of a Siatc 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 1850, 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
arc 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 be 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 deemsmy
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
gress had no power to exclude slave property
from the Territories, and judicially determ
ined that the Teriitorial Legislatures—au
thorities created by Congress—had not the
power to exclude or confiscate slave property,
I confess that I had not anticipated that the
doctrine of friendly legislation would be set
up. Hence, I 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
i l m • i - IT- -II X. il. .
gicco iiui me j.ci i iwi idi jjugi.-'iavmc uau vuc
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
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
nounceita 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 or the country, to protect arid 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 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
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.
