II Our columns to-day are graced by the log
zeal. eloquent and patriotic speech of the dstin-
guIshed senator from Illinois, delivered during that
memorable night that witnessed the passage of the
Nebraska Bill. 1t was pronounced just prior to
the triumph of the great principle of Popular Sow
eregnty &c-H0raing Netcs.
Popular Fiddesticks! The idea that the Slave
ry-extending Nebraska bill ever recognizes such a
doctrine popular sovereignty is 1ic -;on worthy
of the Doughfaces and bogus democrats who sup
port that Infamous measure. By its provisions,
the people OF the new Territories are ruled by
Officers appointed by and responsible 10 the Presi-
dent. Justice IS administered by functionaries Sc
lected III the same way. Every act passed by the
Territorial Assemblies is subject 70 the veto of
the Governor if il escapes that, 70 the revision
and rejection of Congress. And by an explicit
vote of that Congress. the Territorial Legislatures
are debarred from prohibiting Slavery within their
borders And ii is the passage of such dill that

ciple of popular sovereignty! BY the Same rule.
Russian UkaSe, Chinese special edict would
be the very essence and embodiment of popular
sovereignty" as it is the finest type OF modern
"democracy.'-Mii. Sent.

Price Of Newspapers

We publish elsewhere some pertinent sugges
tons from some OF our contemporaries, the
price o. newspapers. 1t is a fact, that while
everything else has advanced in price newspa-
pers have not Everything we eat, wear or use
has raised in price. Stock is higher, work is
higher-everything is higher except the subscrip-
ton price, and there is no earthly reason why
that should not be raised also This ought 10 be
done, and the example should be set by papers in
the large towns first. Many of the large weekly
papers OF the eastern cities afforded, no, sold
at a price below the cost of white paper This is
the case with the n. Y. Tribune, which circuates
so extensively in every western town to tie ex-
clusion of the local papers The weekly Tribune
is loss TO its propTietors, but that loss partial
ly compensated by the high price OF advertising
and the daily and tri--weekly circulation.
The weekly Milwaukee Sentinel is also pub
ished at bat very slight advance above the price
OF white paper, and the proprietors say they
would raise the price, it not for the fact
that they must compete with the eastern establish
ments. SO il is with all. So it extends into the
remotest country towns
1t matters not how much benefit the inhabitants
OF small town, city country may receive
from the local press, it matters not how untirng
the editor may be in his efforts to build up the in
terests and develop the resources of his particular
locality, unless he reduces the price of his paper
to level with eastern papers, he may look in
VAIN for aid and comfort from those whose inter
ests he IS building up more than his own. They
would not see the paper go down." of course not,
and as encouragement to the publisher, they viii
either beg copy at the office or borrow one of
a neighbor, year after year. but 'not cent have
they to bestow. They have tcoydS of encourage

done 1t is time also, that country readers began

THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE ADOPTION OF THE
CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES.

We perceive that the democratic party Of Philadelphia
have agreed upon the happy idea of celebrating the ami
yersary the adoption of che constitution of the United
States by great mass meeting at Independence Hall on
Monday the 18th of September instan-the anniversary
coming on the nth They will thus commemorate not
only the day which saw that immortal instrument pro-
claimed TO the world but they will upon the sacred
spot which has been made immortal by the double
of having been the theatre upon which the Declaration OF
Independence was framed and from which the great chart
by which the Union is held together given to
country and to the world There is something inspiring
in the suggestion There is something original in it and
coming as it does from the noble old Keystone State it is
well calculated TO inspire alike prompt and universal
Spouse from the members OF the democratic party over
the whole Union and from liberal everywhere. We
have many national holidays but that is clcula
ted this juncture, the mind Of the citizen to his
primary and practical duties like the celebration of the
adoption of the constitution of the United States Indeed
up to this moment we have had such celebration. And
now when the party of ntolerants would blot out the
memory Of the Declaration of Independence because
adopted citizens signed that great papernow that the
evoees of intolerance would ignore the anniversaries of
the battles of the revolution and of the late war; because
foreigners fought in both-now, that they would

they fought for civil and religious liberty"t is right
that another day should be set apart when our counymen
may be taught how to value their own blessed lot and
their high privileges by being reminded OF the SER
vices and the surngs of those who made them what they
are 1t is well that this task has been undertaken by the
democratic party Themselves pledged to abide by that
glorious covenant through veal and through woe 1t be-
comes them to undertake its defence now when it is most
violently assaed The men who oppose the constitutions
by ranging themselves under the banner OF an especial
Amercansm of all the most dangerous foes to the
republic. They those who speak words of kindness,
and yet cultivate hidden purposes Of evil and when they
can control our elections their first step will be TO annul the
constitution Then will the foes of the adopted citizens
and of religious liberty and Of the Union OF the States
form one hdeous league and the doom of free institutions
so often prophesed by the monarchs of the Old World
will be accomplished.
