MISCELLANY.
Speech of the President[Oa
Saturday, JunO 7th, a grand rally
of the Democracy was held in Washingtoil
City, for the purpose ?of ratifying the
nomination of Buchanan a?(l Breckenridge.
Spirited addresses were made bv, Judge
Douglas and Gen. Cass, after which the.
multitude, numbering about five thousand,
proceeded to the AVhite House and serenaded
the President. Gen. Tierce appeared

,1-1 congratulate you, my fellow citizens,
upon the occasion which brings you here,
and I indulge the confident hope that the
joy with which you hail the harmonious
and unanimous result of the deliberations
at Cincinnati may be strengthened and
deepened by the ratifying voice of our
countrymen. It is pleasant to realise that,
however other parties may be divided and
distracted, there is nothing with us but
unjpn of purpose, and will be nothing but
t|Qi6n in action.. From this hour to that
when the.polls will be opened in November,
all prejudices and personal animosities

which may have existed in outranks
are already 110 longer' remembered.
The preference of every friend in this crisis
wbo'cares more for the country than for
liiinselfj"dcvotion to the CRUse and an earnest
support of the standard bearers who arc
to lead iis through th6 great struggle, will
be the controlling sentiment of the democracy,
North and South, East and West
Wo arp all, I am sure, quite sincere in our
convictions that not only the prosperity of
this republic, but the perpetuity of this
blessed Union, depend essentially upon the
vindication and maintenance of the principles
declared by the recent Convention.
But these principles can be vindicated and
eustaind only by concerted action, and that
can Olilv be Becurcd bv orfnniziitinri. Tfpnno

we admire the prtriotisin attainments ami
private virtues of our standard bearers,
there will be nothing like man worship in
this contest. Men become comparatively
insignificant, except as instruments, when
great principles and the vast interests of n
country like ours are involved. There will
be, on your part, no appcall to unworthy
passions, no inflammatory calls; for a second
Revolution, like those which are occasionally
reported as coming from men who
have received nothing at the hands of theii
government but protection and political
blessings; no declaration of resistance to the
laws of the land, 110 invocation to the shedding
of blood, by those who have had none to
shed when our countrymen have stood facc
to facc with foreign foes. But the issue
will summon you to a ftalm, earnest struggle
for ll IP rmislif nlimi mul
for the Union. \^ou will bear yourselves
like men determined to cling to tlmt sound
instrument as tlie only security from general
wreck and the only refuge from universal
ruin. Men who fell and act with
you will cling to it with patriotic wisdom
and steady fortitude, and they will defend it, il
need be with, heroic valor against all assaults
from without or from within. That
a signal triumph awaits you in such a cause
I entertain no doubt.?If, as I fully believe,
our fathers were not only guarded and sustained
through the changing scenes and
struggles of the Revolution, but were inspired
after its close to devise and adopt
tliis constitution by Omnipotent Tower, \vc
may repose upon humble but unwavering
faith that that Power will not permit the
madness of their children to destroy it. AcI
ecpt, gentlemen, my best wishes for you,
collctively and individually, and my thanks
for this gratifying call.

On Sunday, the 18th, three thousand
citizens, completely organised into divisions

marched by three streets from the committee
rooms, took possession of the jail, and
from thence took Casey and the gambler

Hon. John lSreekenridge, was fleeted to tl
U. S. Senate from Kentucky in ISO
Something of his standing in his day, nni
be inferred from the fact, that in 1804, i
me party caucus, at Washington, wliic
nominated Mr. Jefferson lbr the l'residei
cy, he received twenty votes for that big
office. In 1805 lie was appointed by M
Jefferson, Attorney Oeneral, which appoin
mcut was confirmed and accepted, liotwec
him and Mr. Jefferson, the most intimal
friendship subsisted. His brilliant care<
was cut short by death, in the prime of h
life, before the expiration of the Preside)
tial term.
Mr. lireckenridge's father was the IIo
Jos. Cabell lJreekenriilge, eldest son of tl

younger than his distinguished son at 111

( From tlie Triio Carolinian.]
To tho People of the South.
You will prcccive from a publication ii
the "True Carolinian" of last week, am
the "Gazette" of this week,that!have beci
requested to visit the South to raise mei
and money by the Pro-Slavery Aasociatioi
of Leavenworth, and the association c
Carolina* emigrants. To stump the State
of the South for this purpose, would traiif
cend m}' strength and means, and cousum
almost the entire year. It is necessary fo
inc to return to Kansas as soon as possible
and if the people of the South intend to rais
men and money to sustain the pro-slavery pai
ty in their present sanguinary contests will
the abolitionists, and in their endeavors t
make that Territory a Slave State, the;
should do it at mice. Delay is dangerous
and if the nro-slaverv nartv receive no m.i
terial aid and no aoessions to its ranks, i
' will bo overpowered, and the Territory los
to the South. ThoStates of Indiana, Illinois
Iow:i and Ohio, since 1 left the territory
have sent or are preparing foseiid, a strong
reinforcement ot' men and large sums c
money to sustain the abolition pEftrty, am
the South must promptly follow' their ex
ample, or see bcr.emigrants butchered am
driven from tU&fichl. Up to the 30th da^
of May, I was'in' all the leading struggle;
betwecen the pro-slavery and abolition par
ties; I have seen blood flow, and lives los
?men arc arrayed ngaintst each other ii
iiimvu uuun-s?woiiiuu, cuuurcn ana prop
crty have been scut' out of the Territory
and civil war is raging. The conviction- pro
vails among all parlies West that this con
lest just begun, will not stop until th<
_ destiny of the Union, ami of the instilutioi
of slavery .is determined. The recent bat
. ^ tics and slaughters would seem to strength
en that opinion. I trust in (?od thatsucli
'' may not be the result, but from persona
'e intercourse with and knowledge of the abo
lilionists, I candidly believe that their prill0
ciples, interests and governiug motives arc
" so essentially different from those of the
pro-slavery men, that they cannot live peacej
ably together, either in Kansas or in tin.
" Luton, and hence a bloody dissolution ot
' the Union is probable.^l^et that bo as il
niay,tbe South should at oncc send on men
n and money sufficient to guard her rights,
and sustain and protect her emigrants.
;r We went to Kansas this spring to settle
13 and go to work, but we were unexpectedly
called upon to tako op-arms and aid the
United States Marshal in compelling the
n* abolitionists to submit to the latf. This
,e duty should have fallen upog- the Govern?s
rnent; it fell upon the pro-slayerv men, and
18 we threw our lives and purses upon the side
f * of law and order. As a consequonce of^his
18 civil war, business was suspcued, farms desorted,
and our expenses swept- away oui
y private, means and that furnished us?t home
. The war still rages, and our emigrants and
friends there must tie supported and strength
: cued, or they will bo complied to quit the
Territory. **

The Great Issue.
i) The importance of the approaching Presii
idential contest, and the mighty issues in- i
ii volved, render it necessary to address the 1
,f people, North and South, in the spirit of <
s nonesty and boldness. SVe contend that
i- nothing but a simple misunderstanding be- i
e tween the two sections is the cause of our <
r present difficulties, anil this explained, MassachuseUa
and South Carolina can stand
e upon the same platform. But the real is..
sues must be met with sincerity, honesty
and courngj&pnnd like all dangers, looked
0 boldly and marifutyy in the face. We are
y rapidly approaching a crisis, the greatest crisis
ill our historv or in t.li? liiot/^rv
,, v- J - ? ? J
t. institutions. Tlio schemes of European
L monarchists, begun half a century ago to
undermine ar.d destroy our republican sys}
tern, are now about to be tested, to be ex- <
posed and exploded, or to break up the Uti- |
r ion, and with it the last hope of republican ^
( freedom. <
] We arc no alarmists or union savers. We t
. have a profound respect for the popular in- \
j telligence, and an uudoubting faith in the t
r virtue and patriotism of the masses, and i
j on all questions where all alike have the t
_ same opportunity to inforitt themselves, I
t wo would not presumo to enlighten or c
, to guide others. Hut on the great t
. sectional question of negro slavery, when k
more tliitn half of the people arc ignorant, t
. necessarily ignorant of the real facts involv- t
ed, \vc feel not only authorized, but impcra- <,
j lively *" impelled, to lay these facts before c
, them. There are upwards of a hundred i
newspapers at the North engaged in the r
sole, undivided and infamous effort to de- k
( baueh the instincts and reason of the poo- ?
I pic, aud lead them into a crusade against (
the institutions, the peace, the safety, the J
very existence ot their brethren of tho Ij
, South?to "abolish" the natural relations of c
, races, and obliterating the distinction^ of the ,L
Almighty, degrade tho twenty-millions of "
. white citizens to a hideous and eternally for- p
p hidden level with three millions of subordidate
negroes. ji
Then there are eight hundred more that s)
propose the same end indirectly?to limit ^
' "slavery"?to pen. up the population of the e
, South?to surround it with a cord of "free j
. negroism," and in concert with their brit- s
j isli allies and tho monarchists of Europe. ^

Proper Views.
In the Connecticut Legislature, while tha
resolutions denouncing Mr. Brooks were
under disotisfeion, Mr. Chapman, of Hartlord,
said:
1 do not regard freedom of specch as
meaning the right existing in one person to
slander and calijpmiate an other without
the suffering parly having a l ij^ht to call
illm to account. To so regard it, would be
making a mockcry of all law. It would --tc,
bo to abolish the courtesies of life?to make
the gift of language a curse instead of a
blessing. The custom of giving utterance
to gross personalities in debate, is becoming
quito too emmon in this country. It is out
of place anywhere, but more particularly is
it out of place in the United States Senate.
That is the highest legislative body in
jijr land, and if decorum of manner and
propriety of spcech are to be observed anywhere,
it certainly should bo in that branch
)f our National Congress. Tho walls of
,he Senate chamber have cuhocd back the
. oices of the greatest men of our land. Inellect

egislated there for tlio best interests of their
iountry arc recorded, in history. 'Men of
somprehensivo minds; men not chained to
ingle ideas, like the galley slave to an oar ;
uen who dared to raise their eyes to from
heir feet, and to act as if there was some
dher place on earth beside the little ground
>11 which they stood ; men who, disregardng
worldly advantages and worldly gain,
egarding no locality and no section, have
triven to preserve intact the union of the
States, and to bequeath to their children
lie blessings that they themselves enjoyed.
Ind now, shall those walls bo no longer -*

iplotnutic intelligence brought by tlib ^a^
learner, is one to the eftect that* the-Prenclil! ??.
iovertiment had recently addressed a very
ucigfctic, if not commanding, note, to the'
)anish government, insisting that the latter
liow a compliant and ready spirit in settling
-s-difliucltics ; the object being to hinder
conflict with North America. This is
^presented as a direct effort on the part o&
,ouis Napoleon to weaken the great* reli-uce
of Denmark on England.
J tiero can be no question that France*:
as, by dint of .sheer pushing, contrived to
niu a veiy decided foothold* in DenmjirK,,
nd that she was first and loudest in asstirig
Denmark of^her support in the matter..
Vench papers have abused America for
lore than the Khglish have done for our
iterference in established European marfline
customs, and the above staujjyeiit relaive
to the note would seem extraordinary
[id we not remember two.jhings, The first.
j, that since the peacc was concluded tho
Vnglo French alliance h? virtwSliy ceased
rith it. The second, and by far tho most
important point is, that both Franco and
Chglaud'are at present desirous of putting
