Jim Allen and the Ordinance of °87,

Last Saturday night Mr. Allen, the De- amocratle aspirant for Governor, after talk- ing for over thirty minutes abont the rights ‘of the people of a State to regulate their @omestic institutions, went on saying that ‘the ordinance of ’87 was established under tho old Confederacy, and, therefore, was not valid under the new Constitution of the hited States.

Now, Mr, A. either ignorantly or mali- ciously makes this statement, if he did not know any better, it is high time that he should Inarn something of the history of his country; if, on the contrary, he did koow at the time he made the statement ‘that it was all bosh; then he should learn that however much nonsense he may hang en the noses of Egyptian ‘ Dimicrats,” who are ever ready to swallow their boots and spurs; it won't do for him to talk such clap trap in an enlightened Republi- an city, where every Republican of the yank and file could teach him better.

Now, to show Mr, A. that the ordinance of 87 did hold well under the Constitution of the United States, I would refer him to the Sth act passed and approved August "tb, 1780, by the first Federal Congress, James Madison, Roger Sherman and Rufus King being members thereof, and George Washington, President of the United States. The preamble of this act, which was to provide for the government of the territories north-west of Ohio river, read as follows: Whereas, in order that the ordi- mance of the United States in Congress, assembled for the government of the terri- tory north-west of the river Ohio, may con- tinue to have full effect, it is requisite that certain provisions be made so as to adapt the same to the present Constitution of the United States. Then the act goes on to treat of the duties of the territorial officers, Dut saya nothing of the 6th article of the ordinance, which of course remains valid ‘and continues fo have full effect.

If this should not satisfy Mr. A., f would like to ask him what he would call the re- fasal of Congress to grant the repeated pe- titions of Indiana territory for the suspen- sion of the 6th article of the ordinance of ¥g7, if not a direct and plain acknowledg: ment of its sacredness and validity ?

But, says Mr. A., in his Tremont balcony epeech, “the territories of Indiana and Tilinois were not organized under the ordi- nance of ’87, and if slavery don't exist now in thea2 States, it is not because of the or- dinance, but because the people did not wantit. Bat look here Mr. Allen and see how hollow and falee this statement of yours ia, ‘After the territory of Indiana was organized, the people, finding pioneer life too bard, thought to ameliorate it by the introdaction of slaye labor, and, there- fore, petitioned Congress to suspend the Gth article of the ordinance of '87, which forbade slavery goivg into their territory. But Congress refused to grant this petition, and a committee of three reported the fol- lowing:—Resolved, “that it is not expe: dient at this time to suspend the 6th arti- clo of compact for the government of the territorice of the United States weat of the river Ohio,” and this was the Inst of it.

Now, Mr. Allen, will you please tell 4 if the ordinance of '87 did not hold we ender the constitution of the United States

not the people of Indiana territory petition Congress to suspend then, the to them ob- noxious 6th article? Or, do you believe that Wm. H. Harrison, then Governor of Indiana territory, who headed the petition, was fool endugh not to understand the rights of a territory because the light (?) of “my principle” which is contrary to all compacts, ordinances and compromises, had not been invented yet, to illuminate his understanding? Ay! ay! Mr. Allen, it will do well to talk such nonsense to Democrats who goit blindly, but not to intelligent people brought up under the benign influence of,a liberal, free, public school system, such as we can boast of hero in our goodly northern and north-yestern cities. Try again Jim!

Sclonce applied to Politics,

A man somewhere down cast is said to. have about made up his mind to join the Democracy, as at present organized under the management of Mr. Stephen A. Breck- inridge Buchanan Douglas Johnson Lane. But he was a very cautious man, and said: “Tl look before I leap,” and so he pro- cured copies of the various Democratic platforms from the days of Silas Wright to the last Conyention held at Baltimore. He then sent them to a celebrated chemist, with the request that he should analyze them, and thus ascertain the ingredients of which the Democracy of the present day is composed. The professor was true to his trust, and in a few days sent him an answer, from which the following is said to be an extract.

“T put them all in together, with locks of the bair of all the Democratic candidates for President and Vice-President, and the test showed the ingredients of modern De- mocracy to be as follows: it will be seen that I discovered no traces whatever of Jeffersonian, Jackson, or Silas Wright De- mocracy, or the spirit of the Declaration of Independence; indeed I found it altogether a different article from that which I used to anulyze twenty-five or thirty years ago. It is also of a different color, the original being o beautiful true blue; this is of a dirty, dull’ black color, emitting an odor like unto that from a nigger ball room on a July night. ‘Here is the analysis:

Federalism of 1812......... 6 parts. Spirit of the Declaration of Independence... 20 Calhounism....., +50 Spirit of Jesuitism. .. ped Si

Know-Nothingism..... Popular Sovereignty . Silas Wright Democracy. Dred Scottism,

100

Tthen put in a copy of the Cleveland Plaindealer and the Obarleston Mercury, when, added to the smell of nigger was a mixture as of asvafoetida and sulphur, which obliged me to leave my retort and fly to the open air.”

It is needless to add that the man in question backed right equare down after reading the above, and now consents to its publication, for the benefit of all who may attempt, as he did, to support true Repub- lican principles by going with the present bogus Demodcrae:

Curlous dea,

The Talladega (Ala.) Reporter, in speak- ing of the rumored alave insurrections in that neighborhood, advises masters not to talk politics in the presence of their ne- groes; that the latter have the idea that Republicans are negroes, and that if a Re- publican be elected he will set them all free.—Bzchange.

Not at all curious! Slaves have ears and understanding. They generally place implicit confidence in what their masters say, and when they speak of Black Republi- cans, why should the negroes not consider all Republicans of like color with them selves; and when Southern slave drivers gay that all Republicans are imbued with the spirit of Jobn Brown, why should not their minions believe it. Thus do their lies and misrepresentations come home to plague the inyentors. Who js to blame, then for these outbreaks of the blacks, of whose contentment Northern doughfaces

preach to us about? Patience of Douglas.

Douglas by patient scaroh for his mother is preparing himself for the martyrdom of next Noyember. He is exercising patience in long auffering, and is now prepared to die. Like allmen in “‘ articulo mortis” the Giant groans aloud, His groans are heard from Maine to Florida. Like the dying Swan, the sweet notes of my great princi- ple hang to his lips in gutteral exit. The force of the sing-song of my principle is Jost in the dodging and contortions of a pinfal, ‘yet meritorious death. Let the pine MOR for a closer walk with James,

‘A tough but slavery fraine— A light to shine upon bis fasne, To lead him to his dame.

Mr. Robert Winslow, of Bureau County in this State, Democratic Elector in 1856, for the third Congressional district, aud up. to 1868 one of the leading Democrats of [llinoia, ia now errongly attached to Repub- lican principles, aad will yote for Lincoln and Hamlin.

The above has been going tho rounds of the press for sometime, but is a mistake. Robert Winslow did not reside in Illinois in 1856, Tho Domocratic elector was Hon. M. P, Petera, who has declared for

Honest Abe, and is doing noble service on

INCREASED MAJORITIES!!!

We have the pleasure of announcing that notwithstanding the stumping tour of Douglas, in Maine, under the false pre- tence of looking for his mother, at the election last Monday, the State which gives us Hamlin, not only elects the Republican ticket throughout, but gives increased ma- jorities over the enormous votes of 1850 and 1858, of between 8 and 5000. Our aggregate majority being about 19,000. Glory enough for one day!

New York and Pennsylvania,

— ry WHAT SEWARD AND CAMERON SAYII1 ee

Senator) Seward passed through this city en route for Milwaukee, last Saturday evening, in excellent health, though yery much oppressed on hearing of the appalling disaster of that morning. Speaking of the prospect in New York, the Senator said to us ‘you need borrow no trouble hae in regard to the State of New York—it is safe for Mr. Lincoln beyond a peradventure,

Wo have before us a letter from. the great Senator of Pennsylvania—Simon Ca- meron—yho writes us, under date of Aug: 28th, as follows:

“You may set Pennsylvania down as certain for Lincoln. No combination cau be made which can prevent us giving him a very large majority.” :

These are opinions which ought tolzettle any doubts in the minds of Weatern Repub- licans in regard to our prospects in those States, Let us all be up and doing our duty, and there can be no earthly doubt of the overthrow of this corrupt administra- tion—the election of Lincoln and Hamlin— a return to the policy of the founders of the government upon the slavery question —the revival of fraternal feeling and good will between all sections of our common country—and such an impetus given to our

industrial pursuits es will make pence and plenty,

The Senate and the Vice-Presi- dency.

Should the choice of a Vice-president devolve upon the Senate, the following table gives the predilection of the senators as respects the different candidates :

Ifa Douglas senator should be chosen in Oregon to fill the vacancy now existing in its delegation, the democratic majority in the Senate over all other can- didates would be but six. If, on the other hand, an administration senator should be elected, then the Lane majority in the Sen- ate would be eight. In either case the majority would be “sufficient for al] prac- tical purposes.”

‘Talk with a Southerner,

Bayard Taylor writes to the New York

Tribune :-—

At White River Junction, where we were obliged to wait two hours fer the train from Boston to Montreal, I fell in with an intel- ligent Southern gentleman, whose etate- ments with regard to the gradual deteriora- tion of the soil under slave labor (of which, nevertheless, he was an advocate) went even beyond Helper’s abhorred statistics, candidly admitted that slavery can only ex- ist as q profituble institution through ‘con- tinaal expansion; when the soil of one State is exhausted, it must move to a new one, ‘But how long can this process be carried on?” I asked.
