I may have done so. But Jacob saya to his wives, Gen. xxxi, 9, " God hath taken away the cattle of vour father and given them to me." And Dr. Clark, whom you seen! to follow, does bot deny tho justico of tho claim, though be thinks tbut Jacob " appean to have proceeded farther than this interposition au thorized him to go." You have read the passage referred to "end find that Jacob dreamed something, nud because, for sooth,.' bis dream agreed with his. preconceived notions of things, he took it for the word of tm liord," etc' This looks very. much like begging the question. I find no intimation but that this is a veritable revelation fr.oin the Lord. Dr. Clark admits its genuineness, and places it before the "pi(l)ling;of tho strakes." And unless it can be proved that this was not a veritable revela tion, or that it was uothinj but a dream, Jacob" must stand acquitted of Dwindling, and I of sanctioning a dishonorable act. - Again : H must be remembered, that at the time when Jacob lived there was not so much Airdiease?nf th (light in the world as there is at present; that Artificial teeth, from one what appears to US plain and distinct, to him. if to a full set, supplied in the best and most approved ' seen at all, was vague and indistinct ; that he stylo.

Tho issue is sectional one. Its discussion will only sggra vute existing jealousies and antagonism between the North and South. Neither party will over yield the principle claimed by the other. It bo comes, thon, if parties are to continue to be di vided upon it, a question of power tt to which idea shall prevail. 3'ho majority will rule, and the minority most submit or resort to secession. The majority is agaiestthe South, and by persist ing ki their agitation the SoutTi rtufce upon tho alternative of absolute submission to a principlo which she believes inimical to her wishes, or the responsibility of withdrawing from the Confed eracy. Tho question then arises, is the question le gitimately before the country, and is it one which parties MUST settle at tbe ballot box t ' The 1 'jiion party holds the negative of these propositions In the first place, there is no demand, by slave holders, for practical protection to slavery iii tho Territories.

" Jiut to show, lrom tlie: highest Uemoaratio au thority, that the people aro being forced into a sectional cotitost, without reason, and inertly to subserve the ends of demagogues, we call atten tion to tho following extract from the speech of Ilon A- O.P.. Nicholson,- Democratic United States 8enator from Tennesse, made on the 10th ultimo, upon the Homestead bill.

We would inform such that it has not driven out th slaves from other slave States toutt of ui. They don't thiuk of sending Goorgia slaves out of that State oo that account; and Georgia Is nedrly as atrong a slave State as this! This Is a conclusive, and therefore sufficient answer to this assumption'.

It is, we know, suggested to the ignorant tho leath. er-hcuded and te some others who have never taken the pains to. investigate the matter, and whose sup posed intercut is to be appealed to to changi vote.

Now, what ought that property to have paid under tho poll tax of 20cents for each betnecu the years of 12 and 50 ? 1 have not the Comptroller's Reports, but we can estimate what should have been paid if the polls had becu fairly given in.

According to tho census of lboO, the number of taxa ble polls was more than one-half of the whole number. One-half of 215.700 is 122,8)0 which nt 20 cents each, would raio a tax of $24,750.
