So far as heard from, the lafe popular riec-
tions have not been relished by the Admins
tration. Mr. Letcher has been 30 much dis
pleased with the citizens Of Washington, az TO
desire to have Government supervisor or IN
quisitor at each voting place, hereafter, ana
has accordingly taken . step toward the de-
strnotion of the ballot-box and tho introduc-
tion of the Virginia mode Of voting--a mode
by which the influential and wealthy may ex
ercise very potent influence over their poor
neighbors, tenants, and debtors. Being in ia
yor Of Popular Sovereignty" as it is recog-
nised in the Nebraska bill, Mr. Letcher has Of
course taken no step toward ascertaining the
desires of the People Of Washington on this
subject.
The people of Washington, by vote Of two
to one, q year ago. declared their desire to have
their charter so altered, Us to empower the city
authorities to prevent the sale OF Intoxicating
drinks within tho corporation limits; but o
Congress in favor of popular sovereignty" on
the Nebraska-bill principle, has paid no heed
to that request. Perhaps it has not been car
ried rightly before them. Who carried the
Nebraska subject before them? When, and
how?
aSlavery, we say frankly, is necessity of
our situation: if it did not exist, no one would
dream of creating it."-Neao Orleans Bee.
This is an approach towa-d truth, and Of
course an approach toward the contamination
of Justice. If the people of the South would
only come to an understanding upon the opin-
ion here indicated, there would then be a
chance for them to be redeemed from Slavery,
the necessity of its continuance being the only
point involved in future discussions Its propa-
CATION where it does not exist and is not me-
cessary, would of course be abandoned.
"Ex-Governor Smith, of Virginia, il said ta
have applied to the President, to send more
United States troops to Boston. The President
declined, because no troops were disposable, !.
but reiterated his determination to have the
law carried out"-Richmond ia Mail.
The next time Post-ofice is openly robbed,
and its letters are broken open, in South Caro-
lima, or Juniusn is imprisoned, or q Hoare
forcibly expelled for desiring, by legal means,
to protect Freemcn in Charleston, Mr.. Smith
may be grati6ed in such a request. But it
must be during future Presidents term.
Several of the newspapers Of New York,
Ohio, Connecticut Massachusetts,, and other
non-slavehodng States are exhorsing the peo-
pile Of those States to forget all distinctions Of
Wing and Democrat, and unite in one great
party of resistance to what they call the en-
croachments Of slavery. No matter what the
advocates of such movement may pretend To
think or to wish, the purpose OF all such OF
them as are not too stupid to have definite
and Ineligible purpose is to destroy tho Union.
A ropes end might do them good, whether ayr
piled to their backs or to their necks.
Louisville Journal
The Journal can well spare a ropes end at
present. All the accounts we hear from its
neighborhood indicate that it has got to the
end Of its rope. Having run into the mire in
tho Ward murder affair." it has taken the back
track on the Slavery question to get to the
sunlight of popular favor and patronage again.
10 The special attention Of the people Of
the United States is invited to the future Of the
Northern honorable gentlemen who have sup
ported the Nebraska bill Their constituents
and tho President they have served will reward
them, after their several fashions Observe,
and see how they will do it!
