amendment Of the Constitution.

Bear in mind voters, that at our coming e.
lection, the people of this State may vote
'sforn or against" certain alterations IN the
constitution. such vote being authorized by
the Legislature of last winter, for biennial
instead Of annual sessions Of the Leglsla-
ture. The preceding Legislature had ia
ken the actual steps preparatory to such
act-authorizing their successors to lay the
matter before the people as provided IN
the constitution for making amendments.
The act authorizing the vote for amend
ment originated in this way, five remem-
Der right: The Grant County Board of
Supervisors, at their annual session in 1852,
unanimously memorialised the Legislature,
next thereafter converting, to authorize a
vote for biennial sessions. j. ALLEN BAR
Der was member of the Assembly that
year, and he drew up, and urged through
a Bill providing for the succeeding and late
Legislature to refer the matter to vote
of the people, in pursuance of provision
in the constitution for amendments. II
passed both Legislatures, notwithstanding
bitter opposition from those who live by
Legislative spoils in and out of Madison.
Should the amendments be adopted, over
Legislation will be done away with to some
extent. The Governor ,nil haFf the a,l hIlapee &c
mighty careful about calling them.
We hope the amendments will be u
unanimously voted for in Grant County
where the matter originated.
The ballots are required to be put in a
separate box.

"POpular Sovereignty" at the
South.
S. S. LOOMS, Sec'y.

The Richmond Enquirer, the leading
organ and recognized exponent OF South
ern democracy" thus answers and refutes
the silly pretence, put forth by the promi-
nent leaders and presses of the Sham De-
mocracy Of the North, that the distinctive
feature of the Kanzas-N Nebraska bill is its
recognition of the right of the people to
choose their own rulers and frame Their
own laws and constitution:
1--WE of the South contend not simply
that Congress may, but that Congress maasst
legislate respecting slavery in the terrific
ries, in certain circumstances, and under
5wg bdt Ne CLAIM M its exe Gcs When
necessary, as matter of right with us, and
of duty on the part of Congress. Slavery
is a species Of property, and is entitled to
all the safeguards and securities which pro-
tect other kinds Of property. The Consti-
tuition recognizes it as property, and Con-
gress, as the supreme Legislative authority
in the territories, mast guarantee to 1t all
the inamae'aatses Of property. Thus, if the
STAKEHOLDER from the South settles in a ter
ritory in which there is no adequate pro-
lection to his property against the violence
OF the abolitionists, 1t becomes the duty OF
Congress to amterpose for has security.--
80, likewise, if there be any artificial bar
rier Of foreign law which repels slavery
from the common domain, Congress musl
aaaterpose to remove the obstacle. Hence
in 1850, the present Secretary of War;
then Senator from Mississippi, proposed
that Congress should repeal the Mexican
laws which prohibited slavery in Utah and
New Mexico-contending, nevertheless, as
we do, that the Constitution proprio ~
gore effected their repeal, and carried sla-
very into the forbidden territory. *
Congress may interfere to protect slavery
IN the territories, but not to prohibit it,"

Our Parties, Politics and Candi-
- dates. 49,.

Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, having
all gone anti-Administration by majorities
ranging from $4,000 to $4,000, must in
tluence results largely in State elections
yet to be held. The voice throughout the
land is, there's something wrong,-some-
thing to remedy.
A change of policy in our State is no
less loudly called for, though it be only a
matter of dollars and cents. In respect to
our national affairs there is question Of
liberty to settle: in our State there is mere
ly question of limitation to settle with
those who live and grow fat upon the pub
lie purse. So far as we can Judge the
great question of freedom or slavery weighs
more powerfully upon the public mind
than any other.
We have no doubt however that the
frauds and extravagancies of our late Lee
gislature and the abominable management
Of our State affairs will cause tax-pavine
voters to think seriously of the common
welfare before making out the ballots
Candid thought and investigation by rea-
ding reliable testimony is all we ask of the
public.
IL is impossible to say what turn is re-
served in the political future upon the sla-
very question. Much depends upon the
action of the forthcoming Congress which
Is certain to be opposed to any further ex-
tension of slavery. The Democracy are
beginning to lose hope in any reaction
that will restore them to popular favor and
power,-they see their blunder and desire
to be with us, in--protession if not in name
and so are waxing stronger for anti-Ne
braska. Our hopes are that their honest
men will go with us, and their betraven
remain in the Democratic shambles.
Wisconsin will poll "A heavy Republican
majority. There is no longer any oues
ton about it, The Republicans moreover
are united, and our adversaries distracted
with isnas and antagonistic fragments
They have little else but liquor and the
cry of anti-Abolition to rally their forces
and portion of the more gullible ones fol-
invincibles. These incentives and irwin
cibles they will doubtless retain to the
last.
Grant County will give fair average
majority for the Republican ticket, though
the increase from the ranks of the Demoe-
racy Is not SO large as in many other conn.
ties. The population of Grant is more
conservative, and consequently slower te
move than in other places. We are proud
OF the quality rather than the QUANTITY a
aooessions from the Democracy to on,
ranks. We have not the shade Of a douh,
that old Grant will settle down into con
frrned and permanent Republican;sn, go,
as the Madison Resolutions contain a. rs.~

Democracv a Rid die.

The platforms, opinions, language and
arguments of the Sham Democracy, form
altogether, one of the most obstuse riddles
ever conjured up. Its solution defies all
the sense and ingenuity, and battles the
reason of the learned and the ignorant
the Reverend Divine and the Plebeian
mind are alike astonished at the meshes OF
this modern thing called Democracy! 1t
swarms with contradictions, Saying one
thing and meaning another; it does and
it don't; it would and it wouldn't, and it
souints in the rear and front! It declares
the repeal Of the Missouri Compromise line
"inexpedient and unnecessary" but is sop
posed to any agitation having in view the
restoration of that line" 1t declares the
repeal of that line ''inexpedient," and ther
congratulates the country that the result
will prove beneficial. 1t declares the re-
peal was wrong because it caused agita-
ton, yet that slavery twill be kept out Of
Kanzas and Nebraska by the agitation. >
1t says slavery will be kept out of those
very already exists there! 1t says the
people of those Territories should be allow
ed to regulate their own domestic affairs,
yet an amendment to authorize them to dc
so was voted down by the Democracy il
Congress 1t says Nebraska and Kanzas
ought to be free, yet the Governors and
Judges, appointed by the President, to pre-
side over those Territories, have nearly all
taken slaves with them, to make those Ter.
ritories the opposite of free.
The supposition of great and skillful
men, who have been watching the procliv-
ity of modern Democracy, is, that proper
solution of the riddle involves the erection
of grand slave oligarchy, or the Nation
alization of slavery. Indeed, the facts that
have recently come to light in reference to
the acquisition of Territories, the further
dismemberment of Mexico and division of
California leave little doubt about the de-
signs of our Govenment,-tha the intent
has been to augment the slave-holding
power sufficiently to secure fxedly the
treaty-making power, and then by some
means majority in the lower House of
Congress. The remainder of the work of
transformation would be merely lob of
kitchen work. These evident designs have
reused the conservative talent of the Ma
ton, which accounts more than anything
else, for the results of our late elections.

EB~M Mr. ALLEN TAYLOR was selected by
the Republican Mass Convention, held at
the house of Mr.. RICE, on Wednesday last,
as candidate to represent Hazel Green,
Jamestown and Smelser in the next Le-
gislature.
Mr.. TAYLOR is farmer and resides near
Fairplay. If he is beaten, it will be be-
cause no fault can be found or charge of
improper conduct brought against him; he
is industrious, of excellent education, and
in respect to integrity and purity of mo-
tive, he belongs to that good old fashioned
school that may err but never through bad
intent or selfish design. The nearest
wrong that can be said of Mr.. TAYLOR, is,
that he is an old bachelor, but this, we
presume, is not his fault!
A letter from friend at Hazel Green
acquainting us with his nomination, says,
she Is sound on all the great questions Of
the day, fully capable, and will make a
capital representative.

The Issue.

The Issue at the approaching election is one
OF the utmost Importance to the friends of hu-
man rlghts--one to decide whether the people
desire the extension Of slavery into Territory
heretofore free, or whether they would confine
1t to its present limits. In this locality, the
sham democracy are de termined, if possible,
to avoid this question, and arouse old party is
sues, hoping therby to get votes for Nebraska
candidates under false colors To their candi-
dates as men,we make no objection. For them
we feel the highest personal respect. To do
them personal kindness, we would sacrifice
much but for us there is a higher duty to
perform than that Of gratifying feelings of
friendship. Principles before friendship.
should be the watch word of every friend Of
Freedom, while the contest is between the ad-
vocates of Douglas Nebraska swindle on one
side, and the friends of human liberty in here
tofore tree territory, on the other. Disguise
It as they will, this is the great, the only issue
Deiore Inc peope at this time. Shall slavery
De conhned to its present limits, or shall the
south be permitted to overrun all the free ter
ritory OF the Union with their human chat
.eis The defeat of single candidate on the
republican ticket, will be claimed as an eyi-
dence that the people approve the Nebraska
measure OF Pierce and Douglas. Let every
