Mr. Bnammmnon?I believe it haa been publlahed la almoat every Southern newiyaper of tha oppoaltion par. ty, that 1 eigned a petition tor the pardon of John Rrown, the Harper'a Ferry murderer and traitor Tbia la untrue So much fur that. (Criaa of ?' Good.") It haa beeu ex tenaively charged aud circulated that I war iu 'avor of the election of General Taylor to the Presi dency, and waa uppuaed to the election of Can and But'rr. Tbia alau la wholly uutrue. In the ) ear 1147 there waa a medlng in the city of Lexington, In which 1 participated, and at which General Taylor ear recommended for the Prendency of the L'ni'c t later. A difference of opinion exhibited at thai timr aa to the pa itticai aentlmenta or that dixtingniahed grnucman. i waa aaaured, upon grounna satisfactory to me, that they com cidcd with my own political opinions, and 1 united in the meeting, Prrtty soon afterwards I went to Mexico. When I returned, twrtve months afterwards, in 1848, I found the campaign in full nuet, with Taylor aa the whig and Cass aa the democratic candidate. It la well known to thousands of th'so within the sound of my voice that as soon as I returned home I took the stump in behalf of tha democracy, and main tained its doctrines to the beat of my ability. A Votes? All right. Mr. BanciLLNKiixin?I waa uot afraid to do It, because they were the representatives of my principles, and you ?nay judge of my leal. Aa one of those |?itlfo,ei waa my old commander and my friend, it waa said I waa not present and did not vote at the election at Lexington in lflifl, and that ia tine. But the explanation, which my opponents have never published, la entirely satisfactory, showing that It was my Intention to he absent during the canvass; bat it waa not my intention to loae my vote. Yon all know at that time, as a citizen, I could vote anywhere in tha State, which wis before the revision and adoption ot our present constitution. But It ao happened that there were Bin or eight gentlemen also accompanying me, all or them belonging to the whig par ty, and they proposed to mo that if I would not return to my own town and vote, they would not. If they would, there would be six or seven votes cast for Taylor and but une for Out. (Cheers ) I accepted the proposition, and we went hunting?(laughter)?and had every man done aa wall a* myself we should have carried the State by forty thousand majority. (Applause.) Among tboee, I remember three names of my friends?Thomas 9. Redd, Nelron Butler and George P. Jewell. Another charge has been extensively circulated throughout the Southern Staler, asserting that I waa an emancipationist in 1849, or at least voted for an emsaclpatioalst at some time or ether. Mr. Breckinridge here read aa extract 5rom a letter from Hon. George Robertaoe, published in a Southern paper, having reference to bis pes tioo on this ^nestlon, and alluding to his privato affairs, and oommeuted on it at tome )ep|th and with much severity. The only tune, paid Mr Brecktnr! tge, that i know of the question of ?mancipation being raised in Kentucky, In my day, was In 1849, when we electing delegates to a convention to form a new constitution Then Or. Breck inridge and Mr. Sbey wtra emancipation candidates, and Mr. Wlckliff and I canvassed the county to the beat of cur ability in opposition to emancipation, believing that the interests of both raiea in the Onmmoawealtb would be promoted by the continuance of their present relations. At the polls Dr. Breckinridge voted against ma, and I voted against him?(cheers)? because we were representing opposite principles; hod just ao it would be again under similar circumstances. So much for Uiat charge But I have seen pamjibleM publlahed and circulated all over tha Union for the pur pose of proving that I waa a Know Nothing In Um year 1863 in the State of Kentucky. (Lead laughter ) i have no doubt. that a very considerable proportion of these listening to me were members ot that Order ta that year; aud if there is a man among you who bel mged to tha Order, who evrr aaw me in one of year lodges, who did not know that I was recognized aa one of Um must uncompromising opponents of the Know Nothings, let him be go good anongh to any ao now. (A Votes?"Be slot bare.") I believe that 1 was the flrst gentleman in Omgreea who took a position egalaat the organisation. Whan I returned home ta the spring of lflflt, It waa bmA isg great progrcai ?the commonwealth, and aUhoagb I waa withdrawn from pabbs life to attend ta my privato ailhirs, I opposed it la repeated rpseehm ail over Kentucky. This statement may set be very aoMpmhls to aamo gen tleeaen ta the sound of my voles, hat 1 do net want to drive awy man. I stand upon my pi muipiee, awd ? wil ling to vlsw them wltaoat tha slightest regard to oeaae queacio.

Again, I ray that it ? contended upon the one hand upon tbe idea of the equality of the State* under the ooeatitu t:on, and their common property In the Territories, that the cilizena of ibe elareboldiag States may remove to tbe Territories with their slaves, and there b-gelly bold them until the Territory la resolved Into a Stats, aud in that capacity exclude them. on tba other band, it la raid that slavery being Id conflict with common right, can exist r.nly by forco nt positive la*: and u la denial tbst the courts ever Tirnlehed tbe lew.

In the month of September, 1666. the editor of tbe Kentucky Stol'tmaii, published in this city, alluding to this char pi, made tho following statement, to which ! heg leave to refer j ou. Mark joc, tbw war before the Prealdeniiai elect Ion of 1666 Mr Breckinridge then read from an editorial In the Kentucky Statesman of October, 1864, in which it waa slated that during bl* tour through Indiana and Ohio that be (Mr. Breckinridge) avowed the eaot'ioeaU be had often proclaimed In Kentucky, and which are clearly em bodied in tae Cinemnntl platform 1 that he dentod that the democratic jwrty was, In its federal relallous, apr<vala* very party; that It was nether such a party nor an anti slavery party; that it rejected the interference of the federal government aitber to introduoa or exclude slavery ; that It left tho Territories op?u to common settlement from all the States; Uiat each State was entitled to fo-m ite own constitution and enter into the Union without ancrimmalioa by Congrera 00 account of Its allowance or prohibition of slavery, and that the statement that ha (Breckinridge) advocated "rquatter sovereignty" waa urlrue.

Nothing leas than a Slstc being cam pet en t to delvrmlne tbe question of slavery or no totvory; tbey declare that the cilU-JD esters any Trrrttnry aim tbe constitution in bis baud, and that the redoi at government can r.rrctae no power over bis properly than that which the instrument has conferred, and tbey declare that since the federal go vernment annul do it, still less can it fores a Territorial government to exercise those powers which it could not oi'Dler up<-n any local government a right to violate. Between slave properly and other kinds of property no distinction eris's. That property in slaves Is raoogotzod by the constitution of tbe United ?Hatee, and that toaru is no word in that instrument wh'cb gives tbe Congress of tbe United Ptaica greater power over it, or which entitles that property to lees protection than other proper'y, ?nd that the only poerr which tbe Congress of tbe United H?tee ha lu gusr iiag and protect lng the rights of oil1, -ns, Isngusge could not make plain er. I have beard it said that the esse which went to tbe Supreme Court of the United States was not the ease winch wrnt from tbo Territories, bat a case that went from a State, and therefore nobody is bound until a case comes from a Territory and is rrgdtarly taken up. That Is a oonfersivu, In my opinion. We sg'ee 1 lo refer H t? tbe Supreme Judicial tribunal upon any case properly artsisf and -omirg otfore that august body. It wss a proper care and properly decided by tbe court. It covers tbe |*>lnte?T <1 ilfkrence between tbe fri*nd*<d the Nehi-as ka bill. It u rand.d, "leer and stateenianllke Now I have shown yon the p.li.tof dubrswea between us In that bill and tbe ?g?eeu?e?it between tbe friends of the bill I bave shewn you tbe decision of the Supreme Court. Wo have arrived at tbe point wbtre there "b?uM bo ktrwsf aud peace?a point screed upon. Tbe an It point of difference hail been de|era>'ti?d by the highest judicial au thority if tbe Union. Of course, the constitutional quo*Ikui wan settled according to tbe agreement The opinion of tha Supremo Court wan delivered in 1147. hvervtbiag was quiet till tha year Hit. When tbe Senator from Illinois. Mr Douglas. w?a a candidate for roelection from that Hate, then, f.ir the trst time in tbe bittnrv of Araertoxn pontins, ws find the opinion advsnosd that there vat a mode or which rubtudli ate aiithorltuui may override the oplokxi of the highest mint la the fiaion. Then wo tin 1 how the agree ment to abide by tbe decision of ths supremo Court is met. Tbe ilMiUrelloa is ma.le that a ?..b .r.lii.ub. author. tly mey enMsaete or exclude from t te Territories the property of cttisras of tbe Southern State*, without re sard to tbe eptnten of ths Supreme 'hurt to the cwtrary. In a debate hetwrru Mr. Douglas sod Mr T.lncoto the until't raid, "'be next question prufiiio'4ed to me by Mr. Lincoln is, -an tbe people of a Territory la any lawful way. agelsst the wtahrs of the United States, exclude slavery from ttwlr llmlla prior to ths format loo of a Stale ooextitulkie. I answered em phstteally, se Mr. I ?ccols bas beard ese answer a hundred times from every stomp m Illinois, toat in my opinion the yrople of a Territory can by tawral means exclude slavery from their ttmita prior to the formation of a State constitution. That question ws agroed in las Kan sas Nebraska bill In refer to <b? Supremo Court, and H was decided aw 1 bave ;ust shown you." I have shown yon that Mr. Douglas agievd to submit the questing of slavey la the TWrrltnr fee io the .tecle oa of tbe Supreme Court, and that be sequiorcod la tf.o ceolaloa of that Court.

It is calm ami lucid, has no claptrap phrases, and puts me in mind of tb? lan guage used by the Supremo Court. Mr. B. here quote! from vol. 21 GUi*, pert lit, page #45. That was non intervention 'n 1860.

(Loud applause.) The prsctica of tho government has bcrn aiwayn different. Mr. Brickiu ridge here entered into an argument to aho w that Oon gross has power to protect property ic tho Territories, and in refutation of the position recently taken by the Stutter from Illinois that Oongrcrs bad Dover exercised Ibis power Tbe principles, asld Mr. Breckinridge, I hnrc trltil fvebly to vnulcate ber?, ere the priuci i-lplea upon which the constitutional demncraiy sui.d today, and thry are the only principle I upon which any human being wlllMare to pretend to charge ilu-m with disunion. If tbey arc the principles of the constitution snd the Union, then we arc constitutionalists sad rrksMk (Olce of ''That's so, that's so ") And yet for two or thire months you have bear 1 nothing bill a loud and incessant clamor that 1 and those democrats with whom I am connected are n disunion organisation, who seek to break up the Confederacy ol tbe State*. I hardly know, ic far as it is a personal charge against my self, bow to answer it. A Voicn? Trll then that It la a lie. Mr. BitackisNiDun?All over the country the charge of disunion is rtpeated against me by anonymous writers j rod wondering ervtors. Their whole stock In trade it I "disunion! dleortse!''

And the large j number of young geet'emen who are ringing betln, with tongues sa long and beads ss empty sa the bells which tbey ritg, cry "Disunion! disunion!" (Brolonged | laughter and cheers ) From suuioes yet more eminent i comes the information that 1 and tnc political organize ; tlon with which I am connected are laboring for a liar up i tion of tbe confederacy. I do not reply now to what Mr j Douglas says all over New England, in Virginia, and j wherever he goes, because it is quits natural for | a gentleman aa much interested as be In think : that any man who opposes his principles must be a dls ! unionist.
