Mr. Docglas and Topular Sover
eignty. .Not unexpectedly, tlic "Administra
tion" through'its organ at iVadiington,
"the Constitution, is out upon Judge Doug
liV recent paper on popular sovereignty.
Tho author of the Constitution's article is
. undoubtedly Attorney General Black.
S.uch being the case, it may be set down
as a "legal decision." The President and
his Lecompton ' followers may a3 well,
however, -give up a a "bad job" the idea
of. bolstering themselves up. Judge
Douglas' sky is clear the people are
"with him.
The. St." Louis Republican says : "The
reply in Harper's monthly, which appear
ed in the Constitution on ' Saturday, and
the .'authorship of which is ascribed to
Attorney General Black, says, probably,
on his aide of the question all that can bo
caid.. doubt any rejoinder that may
.bo made to it by the author of the essay,
will do. equal justice to its ability and ar
guments. We may remark that, howev
er we may deal with the question in the
abstract, popular sovereignty is a practi
cat fact. The people of the Territories
feel that they have a right to exercise it
if we may judge of their feelings from
their acts; and, indeed, it would be
hard case, if it should be required that,
no matter how much opposed ninety-nine
hundredths of the people of a Territory
. might be to the establishment of slavery
. unions them, it might, nevertheless, be
established, and no power could avert it,
so long as they remained in the Territo
rial condition. But the truth is, the ques
tion is no longer a living question it has
no vitality in it, and this the South ought
to see. Slavery will go into just such ter
?ritoryV is made congenial to it by clin
ate and production?. It cannot go into
Nebraska nor Dacotah, nor into divers
others of the Territories future States
which are being pushed upon us with
indecent haste and this the South and
the shareholding States ought to see and
admit.
"We do not propose to examine Judge
Black's essay as a whole. But we caimo
avoid saying, in passing, that, with al
his professions of intended fairness, i
does not deal fairly with one position o:
Judge Douglas. The latter had compar
. . ed the claims of citizens of the States
under the Federal Constitution, to those
of our fathers on Great Britain, as Colo
nists of that power. Judge Black's sta
tement ana reasoning are exnioitea m
the following extract from his essay:
He (Mr. Douglas) says that the
.States gave to the Federal Government
tho same powers which as colonies they
had been willing to concede to the British
Government, and kept those as colonies
Which they had claimed for themselves.
If he will read a common school history
of the Revolution, and then look at arti
cle 1, section 8, of the Constitution, he
will find the two following facts fully es
tablished; 1. That the Federal Govern
ment has power id levy and collect taxes,
duties, imposts and excises, and 2. That
the colonies,' before the Revolution, ut
terly refused to be taxed by Great Brit
ain ; and so far f roni conceding the pow
er, fought against it for seven long
years.'.
.."It is scarcely fair to deal thus ; with
Judge Douglas' position. "Have we, as
citizens of States, no voice in choosing
our federal rulers ? Have we 'taxation
. without representation?1 It was this that
our fathers, as colonists, protested against
They did not object to be taxed. What
they objected to was, that they were tax-
ed without being represented that is,
taxed without having a voice in saying
what their taxes should be, and how le
vied. Judge Black does not so represent
it, and in failing to do so misrepresents
his opponent. . We may add, that Judge
. Black's notions cannot be considered ac
ceptable to the President, since he has
"never formally retracted that part of his
letter. to the Cincinnati Convention, in
which he declared, 'that the people of a
Territory, like those of a State, shall de-
' cide for themselves whether slavery shall
or shall not exist within their limits.' "

lh-oivuville, Sept. 20tL, 1S39. ;
IIu. Editor:
It is truly disgusting to observe the low
and grovelling subterfuges to which the
would-be leaders of the Democratic party-
resort, to make even a momentary im
pression upon the public mind, to. the dis
paragement of the Republican party. I
say it is contemptible when it emanates
from the privates in that "Good old par
ty," but when such men as Gov. Black
loops to wilful misconstruction, and .per
version of language, as was done by him
in his recent Estabrock speech in this
place, it fills every honest mind with the
most uncontrolable loathing.
Gov. Black made the assertion that the
Republican party was net in favor of pop
ular sovereignty, and quoted as his text
the second section of the platform framed
at Bellevue, which says :
21. That the citizens of tho Unite! States itin
erating to this Territory bring with them their inhc-
a t a . 1 a . .!..! ... T . . 7 ... .1
rem rigui 10 legislates lor liiiar pruiwitvu ui!u ihi
fare, eubject only under tho constitution to the regu
lation of Uonre?3. inat me people 01 inia i cm
tor should to allowed to elect their own officers,
and regulate their own domestic institutions, tmd
that it is tho duty of tho Territorial Legislatura of
Nebraska in th exercise of its power to prohibit
slavery in this Territory.
The first sentence in this section is the
one that is most offensive to the Gov's
peculiar principles, because (as he says)
it recognizes the power of Congress to
interfere in the domestic regulations of
the Territories, contrary to the expressed
will of a majority of the citizens. 'With
all deference to Gov. Black's exalted opin
ions, I would merely say that it is a wil
ful and malicious perversion of the lan
guage ; and is but in keeping with the
low-toned means invariably used by that
party, in order to gain any real or fan
cied advantage from its opponents.
The sentence reads: "That the citizens
of the United States immigrating to thi
Territory, bring with them their inherent
riirht to legislate for their protection and
welfare, subject only under the Constitu
tion to the regulation of Congress," or,
in other words, "that the Territories are
subject to the regulations of Congress on
ly so far as they are compatible with the
Constitution." And the next sentence in
the same section, goes much farther in
the doctrine of popular sovereignly than
the boasted democratic platform, for it
gives the right to the people of electing
their own officers vice the appointing of
them by the President from the ranks of
broken-down political hacks who are
thrown these territorial bones in order to
keep them quiet. .
It is a very significant fact that the
elucidators cf the "glorious eld cause,"
(?) invariably stop in their transports,
while reviewing the public weal accom
plished through the labors cf their5 party,
at the inauguration cf James Buchanan,
and in claiming the doctrine of popular
sovereignty as the bulwark of their cause,
uniformly forget to bear aloft that bright
and shining act resulting from their con
ception of "popular sovereignty," yclept
Lccojnjiton ! And more of their ideas of
popular sovereignty might be seen in the
hint thrown out by the Hon. Governor
himself as a bribe, that in - the event of
Mr. Estabrcok's election, he would call an
extra session of the Legislature to take
the initiatory steps to the formation of a
State government otherwise no extra
session would be called, lhere it is.
There is the Democratic regulation of
your own affairs your own way. If you
will do . as Jim Buchanan wants you to,
you can come into the Union speedily;
but if you presume to think differently
from this great I Am, you will never get
in so long as we can prevent it.
And now one question to every honest
mind. Does it not look infinitisimally
small in any one occupying the position of
Gov. Black to stump the Territory for
such a man as Experience Estabrock ?
OBSERVER.
Senator Tverson of. Georgia thus ex
presses himself with regard to the free
lahorers of-the North, the Mud-sills of
. society,, as Senator Hammond calls them:
V ."The proud and enviable condition of
the poor .white man in the South, compar
ed to the. degraded white slave of the
: North, is .owing to the existence of Afri
can slavery in the South. If the question
of emancipating the negroes were to
day submitted to the people cf Georgia,
nine out of ten who own no slaves would
rote, in the negative. Slavery must be
maintained in the Union if possible out
of it if necessary peaceably if we may
forcibly if we must, llo was once an
. advocate of squatter sovereignty, but had
repented of and recanted the error. Sub-
. sequent investigation had convinced him
thai the. true" theory, in relation to the
Territorial Government of the , Union is
'that it is' loth the p'ower and duty of Con
- press to pass laws for the . protection of
. slavery wherever it exists, or may exist

Contemplated Frauds.
For several days past it has been ru
mored about among the Democracy, that
they had "got everything fixed at Fort
Kearney," and it is also understood that
other precincts in the same county have
likewise been "fixed." It is openly boast
ed that Fort Kearney will give at least
two hundred majority for Estabrock, and
the inference is plainly to be drawn that
as much more will be furnished to order
as is required. Now, it is well known
that there are not 200 legitimate voters in
Hall county, and that any such Democratic
majority can only be obtained by the
grosses! frauds; and this fact is so fully
appreciated by the Democracy themselves,
that one of their leaders a few days since
declared he would shoot any Republican
who should venture to appear at Fort
Kearney for tho purpose cf watching their
proceedings ! This threat, which we have
from reliable authority, we have no doubt,
is another phase of squatter sovereignty.
We also learn that an extensive system"
of similar frauds is contemplated at Da
ko.a ; and it is now" understood that hun
dreds of dischargrd 'governments team
sters have been called in at tho different
outposts to aid in carrying out the prin
ciples of Democracy. Now, we have a
word of advice to oifcr Gov. Black and all
other Democratic officials and leaders in
this Territory. ' Some of you are not
entirely free -from-immoral stains, and
dare not arouse the j-ouhg lion cf Repub
licanism in Nebraska by imitating the
conduct of your brethren at Delaware
Crossing and Oxford in Kansas, " and at
Pembina, in Minnesota. The temporary
fruits of those 'disgraceful triumphs have
turned to ashes on your lips. So will it
be in Nebraska. ' You may succeed to-day,
but to-monow you will be hurled from
power by indignant'- Freemen with 'loath
ing and scorn. " We demand i as our right
a frtirrid honest expression of the.public
sentiments of this Territory, and we will
submit to Lotliing less. 0,n. Rtpvbliccn.

Chronicles cf Jonathan.
CHAPTER II. .
1 And it came to pass, when tho time
drew near for the people to choose one
of their wise men to go to the Great San
hedrim at Washington, that the children
of Jonathan living on the South cf the
River Platte;- counselled among them
selves, saying:
2 There is no . difference in the poli
tics of all the tribes of Jonathan, that
will much affect U3 who live in Nebraska;
' 3 Let usvith one accord, in choosing
a 'man to" send' to the Great Sanhedrim
cast lots for tho candidate who lives on
this side of the River Platte ;
4 For all the men that have hereto
fore been sent to the Sanhedrim have
been chosen from beyond the Platte ;
5 And they have gotten for them
selves and for their City much gold and
silver, while our interests they 'have ne
glected. G And certain persons carried tidings
to Samuel, the Chief Ruler of the Prov
ince, saying:
7 Lo ! in the county called Nemaha,
many Democrats are turned away from
the support of the Candadate who lives
in Omaha.
8 Then in Rama was there a voice
heard, lamentation, and weeping, and
great mourning, Officials weeping for
their offices and would not be comforted,
because they must loose them.
9 And Samuel was exceedingly sor
rowful ; and he rent his garments, and
clothed himself in sackcloth, and cast
ashes upon his head, and sat in the dust.
10 And he wept, and as he wept thus
he communed with himself.
11 Must the Candidate of the Officials
be defeated ? Tell it not in Pittsburg ;
publish it not in the streets of Washing
ton; lest the Republicans rejoice; lest
the Douglasites triumph !
12 Ye hills of Nebraska, let there be
no dew nor rain upon you, nor fields of
offering, for here Old Buck's official will
be rejected even Experience is vilely
cast aside, as though he had been sent
to Nebraska by Old Buck !
13. How are the mighty officials
fallen! They are all dispised by the peo
le !
11 I am distressed for thee, my friend
Buchanan. It was to thee we owed our
appointments; we were not responsible
to the people, and I have often boasted of
it to them.
15. Great hast been our love of office
surpassing the love of women.
1G Beheld, I will gird up my loins, and
go down to Brownville, and speak to th
people; even though ,thcy should say I
am stooping from my official dignity.
17 But I will not touch the points at
issue. I will not explain why Enperi
ence will serve their interests better than
Samuel. That would be hard to do it
would be useless.
' . lSBut I will pervert the Republican
platform from what it was intended to
mean. ' . . : . : ;
19 I will extol Topular Sovereignty to
tho skies ; but I will not carry out that
doctrine ; for that would not bo following
in the footsteps of my master.
J 20 I will tell the people that if they
will choose. 'Experience for the Sanhe
drim, then they may regulate their own
affairs in their own way,' they may form
a State government before winter. .
21 For then l ean be appointed to the
Upper Room in the Sanhedrim in Wash
ington, and shall be arrayed in fine linen,
and rich apparel, and get much honor to
myself.
22 But if the people are perverse, and
stiff-necked, and cast their lots for Sam
uel, whose sur-name is Daily, and do no1
send a majority of my friends to the leg
islature, my chances for the Senate will
be slim, and the people shall not form a
State Constitution as long as I can pre
vent it.
23 I .will make the same old speech
that was spoken so often in the canvass
of '06, in the province of Pennsylvania.
24 I will extole the glorious Demo
cratic party of Jefferson's time to the
skies; peradventure the foolish and the
simple will believe that James Buchan
an and his diciples are men of ,ihc same
principles ! .
2-5 And as the Llood of all the proph
ets from tho foundation of the world
from the blood of righteous Abel to the
blood of Zacharias who perished between
the alter and the temple, was required of
one generation of the Jews;
"20 So I will lay upon the shoulders of
the Republican party, which has been in
existence but five years, all the bad acts
that have been committed in this country
from the assembling of the Hartford Con
vention, in 1S12, down- to the proposition
to re-open the slave-trade in 1S59..-
27 Yea, I will lay upon their shoulders
the acts of the Federal paty, even in the
time when- Buchanan and - Cass were
members of it, and the.'acts of 'the Whig
party, and of the Abolition party, and cf
all other parties. .: : ,. .
25 And I will draw black pictures of
many righteous. actr, of different parties,
and lay these, .also" upon their shoulders,
and they shall bo responsible- for them
29 But -for the acts of the fools and
the fii e-cater?, we must not bo responsi
ble, even though Buchanan does, listen to
their counsels. ,
30 And all men shall know that I, Sam
uel, am Governor.

"Now, if the opposition to the Democ

sincere in their professions, they are
compelled at the next session of Congress
to bring forward a law to carry out their
doctrines in the' Territories. If &
Seward be an honest man, he must bring
a bill to abolish slavery "and repeal the
slave code of New Mexico. "
If the Southern Opposition members

States, be -honest men when they assert
that it is the 'duty of Congress to protect
slavery in the Territories against the
wishes of the people, then they are bound
to make laws to establish and maintain
slavery in Kansas in opposition to the

concerns of the Territories can be no

The above is an extract from Judge
Douglas' speech in Cincinnati.
