Qur account of its proceedings !s an admirable one, and from it the distant reader can raw just conclusions between the status of the National Democracy here, and that of the Doug- Jasites, as exemplified in cur equally truthful por- trait of the Douglas ratification meeting that carne off here last week. The features of last night's occasions were decidedly the patriotic, able, and effective speeches of the President, Secretary Cobb, Senator Davis, and our fellow-citizen James M. Carlisle, Esq., which, with those of all the other gentlemen participating actively in the affair, we commend to the public as embracing @ plain exposition of the grounds upon which the National Democracy appeal to the public in be- half of Breckinridge and Lane. Tue Potomac Aquspuct.—Ion, in a recent letter to the Baltimore Sun, says: “The a@ppro- Priation for the aqueduct was given by the House on the express condition that it should be guard- ed against the danger of political application du- ring the coming canyass by the proviso above quoted.”’ This was distinctly avowed, and Mr. ‘Toombs and other Senators distinctly stated to the Senate that the proviso was constitutional, and that without it the appropriation could not have been obtained from the House of Representatives. Thirty-one Senators voted for it, only thirteen voting against the report of the committee of con- ference for all reasons The President, in bis special message, distinctly states that the proviso is constitutional. Had it not been so, his plain duty was to veto the bill But be ‘‘approved” it. In answer to surmises that the President will not cause the work to be executed according to the letter of the law, we have to say that we scout the imputation upon hint involved in the idea. It is impossible that any Administration form? ally accepting money from Congress upon condi- tions approved by the President’s signature, and still more distinctly by a formal special message, can spend the money thus obtained in violation of either of the conditions expressly stipulated; be- cause such bad faith in its transactions with Con- gtess would be ruinous to its reputation The law is plain, and no doubt it will be exe- cuted. The President is too kindly disposed to- wards this District, too regardful of bis obliga- tion to execute all laws passed by Congress and himself, for any of his true friends to doubt the result for a moment. ——_.—____. Tus Vorace oy THE NiacaRa.—Edttor of the Star: Will you be kind enough to inform your readers, how in the name of common sense and reason, any one expects the “Niagara”? to reach Japan in seventy days? Even under the most favorable circumstances, one hundred days would be an extraordinary passage, ria Cape of Good Hope; and if the ship went ria Cape Horn, it could not be done under one hundred and twenty days at this season of the year. I very much doubt whether any officer of the “Niagara” ever made the statement referred to in your edition of this afternoon. Navy. Wasurseton, July 9, 1860.

Jobn C. Breck- inridge and Gen. Joseph Lane) to the Presi- dency, met at the National Democratic Commit- tee Rooms, No. 28, Four-and-a-half street, on Friday evening last, and reorganized the above- named Club, electing Mr. 8. F. Glenn President. and Mr. Wm. R. Nixon Secretary and Treasurer Senators Jobn Slidell and J.P. Benjamin, and Hons. G. Davidson and John M. Landrum were elected honorary members of the Association. The Club will meet again this (Tuesday) even- ing, at So’clock, p.m., as will be seen by ad- vertisement in another column, to make a more Perfect organization to assist in carrying on the campaign in the gallant little State of Louisiana: and all Louisianians favorable to Messrs. Breck- inridge and Lane, were, by resolution, unan- imously invited to meet and join with them in aiding in the success of the nominees of the true democracy on the Ides of November. The resi- dents in Washington from the various States of the Union should “go and do likewise.” These State Clubs, under a proper organization, are of great service to a party ina political contest. * UF A meeting of old Soldiers at Philadelphia® onthe Fourth of July, passed resolutions con- demnatory of the Homestead bill, (as tending to render land warrants worthless,) and thanking the President for his veto. They think that if Congress passes such a law they ought to provide forthe redemption of land warrants in money, by the Government. —_—_a—_____ i[7" It is reported that a disease has broken out among the cattle at Shabbona Grove, De Kalb county, Il., which is causing some alarm in that region.

Upon hie Y GOODS Mr. Breckimridge’s Letter ef Acceptance. jedeng = chip ae A bpd a Drak Sir: I bave your ti paws wa by which | am officially informed mh nomina- tion for the office of President of the United States by the Democratic National Convention lately as- sembied at Baltimore. The circumstances of this nomination will jus- tify me in referring to its personal aspect. I have not sought nor desired to be placed before the country for the office of President. When my name was presented to the Convention at Charleston, it was withdrawn bya friend in obedience to my ex, wishes. My views had not changed when the Convention reassem- bled at Baltimore; and when | heard of the dif- ferences which occurred there, iy indisposition to be connected prominently with thecanvass was confirmed, and ex to many friends. Without discussing the occurrences which pre- ceded the nomination, and which are or soon will be understood by the country, I have pos ag say that I approved, as just and necessary to the pre- an of the national organizstion and the Bac right of re; tation, the action of the Convention over which you continued to de; and thus approving it, and having resolved to pastain it, Flos Week. 4 dun nak Broome one to select the position I shall occupy, nor to shrink from the responsibilities of the to which [ have been Accordingly I accept the nomination from a sense of public any and, as I think, uninfluenced in any degree by the al- lurements of ambition. I avail myself of this occasion to say that the confidence in my mal and public character implied by the action of the Convention will al- ways be gratefully remembered; and it is but hook wie to my own feelings to express my grati- fication at the association of my name with that of my friend, General Lane, a patriot and soldier, whose great services in the field and in council entitle him to the gratitude and confidence of his countrymen. The resolutions adopted r? the Convention bave my cordial approval. hey are just to all parts of the Union—to all citizens, native and naturalized, and they form a noble policy for any Administration. S0lichitna: Gin eins ob The questions touc! ie of sons and Property which have of Tate been much dis- cussed, find in these resolutions a constitutional solution. Our Union is a confederacy of equal, sovereign States, for the purposes enumerated in the Federal Constitution. Whatever the common Government holds in trust for all the States must be enjoyed oe, by each. It controls the Ter- ritories in trust for all the States. Nothing less than sovereignty can,destroy or impair the rights of persons ot propert - ‘Phe Ter: itorial Govern- ments are su and temporary, and not sovereign; hence they cannot destroy or impair the rights of persons or perty. While they continue to be Territories they are under the con- trol of Congress, but the Constitution nowhere confers on any branch of the Federal Government the power to discriminate against the rights of the States to t he property of their citizens in the Territories. {[t follows that the citizens of all the States may enter the Territories of the Union with their Property: of whatever kind, and enjoy it during the Territorial condition, without let or hindrance either by Congress or by the subordi- nate Territorial Governments. These principles flow directly from the ab- sence of sovereignty in the Territorial Govern- ments and from the equality of the States. Indced they are essential to that equality which ts and ever has been the vital principle of our constitu- tional Union. They have been settled legisla- tively, settled judiciously, and are sustained by right reason ‘hey rest on the rock of the Con- stitution; they wifl preserve the Constitution; they will preserve the Union. It is idle to attempt to smother these great is- sues, or to misrepresent them ay the use of parti- san pbrases which are misleading and delusive The people will look beneath such expressions as “Intervention,” ‘Congressional Slave ; aad the like, and will penetrate to the real ques- tions involved. The friends of Constitutional equality do notand never did demand a ‘‘Con- gressional slave code,”’ nor any other ‘‘code,” in regard bd cg args in the Territories. They hold the doctrine of non-intervention by Congress or a Territorial Legislature either to abolish or pro- hibit slavery; but they assert (fortified by the highest judicial tribunal in the Union) the plain duty of the Federal Government, in all its de- partments, to secure, when necessary, to the citi- zens of all the States, the enjoyment of their property in the common Territories, as every where else within its jurisdiction. The only logical answer to this would seem to be to claim sovereign power for the Territories, or to deny that the Constitution recognises operty in the services of negro slaves, or to deny that such Property can exist. Inexorable logic, which works its steady way through clouds a: "ea compels the country to meet the issue. T is no evasive middle ground. Already the signs multiply or a fanati- cal and growing party which denies that under the Constitution, or by any other law, slave Pprop- erty can exist, and ultimately the struggle inust come between this party and the National Demo- cracy, sustained by all the other conservative ele- ments in the Union. I think it will be impossible for a candid mind to discover hostility to he Union or a taint of sectionalism inthe resolutions ado by the Convention. The Constitution and the Union repose on the equality of the States, which lies like a broad foundation underneath our whole political structure. Asi construe them, the re< solutions simply assert this equality. They de- mand nothing for any State or section that {s not cheerfully conceded to all the rest. it {s well to remember that the chief disorders which have afflicted our a, have grown out of the viola- tion of State equality, and that as long as this pe principle bas been respected we bave been lessed with harmony and peace. Nor will it be = to persuade the country that resolutions are sectional which command the support of a ma- jority of the States, and are approved by the bone and Lert! of the old Democracy, and bya vast mass cf the conservative opinion every where, without regard to party. It bas been necessary more than once in our bis- tory to pause and solemnly assert the true charac- ter of this Government. A memorable instance occurred in thestrugyle which ended in the civil revolution of 1800. The Republicans of thatday, like the Democracy of this, were stigmatized as disunionists, but they nobly conducted the con- test under the Constitution and saved our political system. Bya like constitutional struggle it is iatended now to assert and establish the equality of the States ag the only basis of Union and 8. When this object, so national, so constitutional 80 just, shall be accomplished, the last cloud will disappear from the American sky, and, with common bands and hearts, the States and the people will ynite to devolop the resources of the whole country, to bind it together with the bonds of intercourse and brotherhood, and to impel it onward in its greatcareer. The Constitution and Equality of the States! These are symbols of everlasting Union. Let these be the rallying cries of the people. . I trust that this canvass will be couducted with- out rancor, and that temperate arguments will tike place of bot words and passionate accusa- tions. Above all, | venture humbly to hope that Divine Providence, to whom we owe our ort ‘in, our growth, and all our prosperity, will continue to protect our beloved country against all danger, foreign aud domestic Tam, with great respect, your freind, Joun C.

The public defense of Theses in Moral Philo- sophy by the graduating class of Gforgetown Coi- lege, held in the College Hall yesterday after- noon, was listened to with satisfaction by an int t and appreciative audience. Among eq we noticed Bishop McGill, of Rich- mond, Judge Merrick and Philip R. Fendall, Esq., of Washington, and other distinguished gentlemen. Dissertations on the following sub- jects were delivered: ‘ Logical Principles,” by Augustine W. Neale, of Md ; “Ontological view of God and the World,’’ by Robt. Y. Brown, of Miss.; ‘Spiritual and Corporeal Substances,” by Alphonse Rost, of La.; ‘“Moral Law,” by Michael A. Strong, of Pa ; ‘Divine Providence,” by Jas. HH. Dooley, of Va. Where all acquitted them. selves so creditably it would be invidious to dis- eriminate—it is enough to say that the treatises were well and carefull itten, aud delivered with considerable oratorical ability. At the close of each dissertation questions on the subject, both in Latin and English, were by the audience, which the students ily answered. At the close of these exercises, the members of the Greek Academy, attached to the institution, took seats on the platform, when the following young gentlemen received diplomas from the bands of Rev. Father Early, President of the Col- lege: Jobn P. Marshall, A. B , Md ; Clement G. Lancaster, A. B., Penn ; Paul Bossier, La; Pla. Bossier, La; R. Y¥. Brown, Miss; Louis A. Buard, La.; Henry W. Clagett, Md.; James H. Dooley, Va.; John W. Kidwell, D.C; Anatule A. Landry, La j James F. McLaughlin, Va; A. W. Neale, Md; G. H. Pizzini, Va; qs Rost, La; P. W. Semmes, D.C.; M. H. Strong, Penn.; Augustus Wilson, Md. The two first- named gentlemen graduated last year. The vale- dictory, ye Mr. John W. Kidwell, son of our esteemed fellow-citizen, Dr. John L. Kidwell, closed the exercises. It was a classical and pol- ished uction, replete with beautiful thoughts — y expressed. It was delivered in a forcible bu jet manner, and does great credit to the rut orator. We heard it spoken of in warm rms of commendation by several persons com pe- tent to jade .. We learn that Count Mercier, the French Min- ister, has engaged for a residence that beautiful lace on the Heights, formerly the property of ‘ol. John Carter, deceased, and known as ‘‘Caro- lina Place.’ It was successively the residence of Mr. Crampton, the British Minister, and of Count de Sartiges, late Minister from France. The examination of the senior female depart meat of the Georgetown School, (Mrs. Farquhar, teacher.) yesterday afternoon, was an occasion of much interest The young ladies were examined thoroughly as to their proficiency in mental and written arithmetic, history, geography, philoso- phy, orthography, &c , and gave general satisfac- tion It is enough for teacher and scholars, to say that this department was fully =e to the others There was = one thing in which they fell bebind their fellow-pupils, and that was in not speaking out loud enough for ail to hear. This is hardly a fault in young ladies, however. and their fature husbands will have cause to rejoice if they never raise their voices to a higher pitch when they attain to the dignity of matrons. Among those present were Messrs. » Magee, and Deeble, of the Board of Guardians, Dr. Ironsides, of Washington, and many of our most respectable citizens. At the close of the exercises, Mr. Deeble addressed the young ladies in a few words of advice and encouragement, and complimented them on their proficiency in the studies they had pursued during the year.
