Inasmuch as the Black Republican papers are loud and boisterous in their condemnation of the speech made by Mr. 1 'ay ne in accepting the Democratic nomination for Governor, we give be below - low below the most extended report of it that we have seen. It is an admirable speech, enunciating sound Democratic doctrine, and will be warmly approved by every Detiro'eiat in the t-Uuto ; Mr. Payne said lie appeared before the Convention to accept the honor con conferred - ferred conferred upon him. and to return his thanks for the distinguished proof of their confidence.

With pride reason, 1 accept and alacrity, for this the invitation to be standard-Dearer. t congratulate you that we are no longer to carry on a de defensive - fensive defensive warfare. Popular sovereignty doctrines have already been proclaimed by the Cincinnati National Convention the doctrines so startling on their enunciation to the anti-slavery element of 'the North, and occasioned the organ organization - ization organization of the Republican or sectional party, have been indorsed by the people in the election of President Buchanan. Under his administration Kansas, alike from New England and the Houth. i-; vnr! working out 1 the peaccalllC IrilltS Ot ri htcousncss. At a day not distant or doubtful, as from the beginning had been predicted.

Wo take stand against the treasona treasonable - ble treasonable schemes of our political opponents. The Republican organization has ae- com; ncd its ucstmy. it now must be dlsmis 1 from tba stage of action and Ohio committed to her twin sitter on the peaceful shores of Salt Lake. Our opponents arc to understand that the Dred Scott decision is to be an is issue - sue issue iu the coming canvass, and that we are prepared to meet it on its merits. So far it is good lair. The Supreme Court hare decided that a white man is superior to a black man. which is in ac accordance - cordance accordance with history, and it is sound law. Again, that Court have decided that a slave taken to a free State and return returned, - ed, returned, is subject to freedom or slavery, as the laws of the State to which he re turns has enacted. This is now the recognized law of this land and Knglaml. These are the main points of the decision as the re remaining - maining remaining details, they are immaterial, but in conformity with common sense. The Dred Scott decision is a sound and staple decision'. I am no prophet, but predict that that party which enters upon a cruisade against it, will have an existence as brief and a termination as inglorious as that of the Republican party. We have no longer In look back upon the past. We must go in with the spirit of our brethren, whose victo victories - ries victories wo have just rejoiced in. We must invade (he enemies' territory, must car carry - ry carry the war into Africa. This Union could not exist an hour without the surety of the return of fu fugitives - gitives fugitives from slavery when claimed un under - der under law. The Black Republican party, in vio violation - lation violation of their oath to the Union, have attempted to nullify these national mea measures. - sures. measures. They have denied to foreign States tho hospitalities of our jails to shield their slaves. Have striven by a habeas corpus act to denude the master of slaves of our sister States of his rights, and to bring the Stale in collis collision - ion collision with the General Government. This is a virtual and moral treason. We call upon the black Republican chiefs to answer to these charges of the indictment against them. Also, we charge them in another count for the unwarrantable, unnatural and unchris unchristian - tian unchristian effort to elevate the black race to an equality of citizenship and rights with the whites, witness tne misera miserable - ble miserable language of a committee of the Leg Legislature, - islature, Legislature, in which the language of the decision of Chief Justice Taney is spo spoken - ken spoken of as that of a Jesuistical Catholic. Again, that odious decision as to taxes in our Stale, discriminating in favor of nriviled 'cd corporations, striking at the verj and vitals oi state rights, was approveu applauded by the Legislature, who, with indecent haste, confirmed their ae tion thereto. I have no words of re reproach - proach reproach or condemnation too strong for them. They have abundant sympathies iu the remotest sense with tliose-whosc hair and color differ from them. They are ready to strike out ' white" from the Constitution, but will do nothing to provide schools and libraries for the white children of Ohio. We arraign them, and demand that they be put upon their trial. Another matter to be charged home upon them is. that the money obtained by heavily-laid taxes bad been squan squandered; - dered; squandered; thev had allowed the Treasury i ; t

At nightfall, (he bed ragged party took seats in the cars and returned to Portsmouth, full of the story of their wonderful adventure.
