tel incident which occurred the other day The editor of
Tie BLADE fell in conversation with an Individual who
was formerly possessed of Anti Slavery procvtes whom
he had not seen for some time. Says The Blade:
knowing what his convictions formerly were, we
talked freely with him the present crisis in public affairs
and begaa TO express feelings relative TO the high
handed course of Douglas, Gushing Co. We perceived
he was rather num- and disposed TO change the
ton. At last with the blandes kind Of expression he
remarked, I'm in rather delicate sitnatoa Not un-
dersanding the extent OF the delicacy, were
obliged press him still further, when he replied sup
pose you know am Postmaster at La fact Of which
we we're entirely ignorant. The Post Office rorh about
treHtyseren dollars, hrfyfour and haif cents year."

WAR ACTUALLY lBEGUN.

BY the last foreign advices-ws learn that
war has been declared between Turkey, Eng.
land g. France ON the one hand, and Russia
on the other. Again, after an uninterrupted
peace of nearly forty years, Europe is to be
the theatre of fierce struggle between her
most powerful nations. That this war will
be long. fierce and bloody no one can doubt
who knows the characteristics Of the Europe
an wars in former years, but to what extent
it will 70 and what will be the final result is
beyond the power of mortal eye to see. The
declaration of war by her Britannia Majesty,
Queen Victoria is a manly, argumentative
document, giving concise but lucid expose
Of the reasons that impel her to this course.
The course Of Austria and Prussia 10
watched with considerable anxiety by..all par
ties. 1t is thought that they will declare for
the party that is successful in the first en-
counter.

The Ohio Inquisition!

Some few weeks ago we spoke in relation
to some outrageous revelations in reference
to the Ohio Penitentiary, and that Commit
tee had been appsatsdt 10 investigate those
charges. We happened to be in the hall of
the House of Representatives when DR.. Ross
spoke Of the horrid cruelties com.
mitted in the Penitentiary by Deputy Warden
Watson. A feeling Of honor seized the
members at the announcement, and we could
see determination among some Of them to
ferret out the facts in the case and lay them
before the people of the State. That our
readers may see to what horrid depths of
cruelty some men can descend we publish
the following synopsis Of the report of that
committee which we find in the o. s. Journal
Of the 18th inst

t" Committee.
Yesterday afternoon was one of intense
interest in the house of Representatives

made their report to the House. This report
and the testimony were read at the Clerks
desk. They Disclose tale of outrage and
cruelty, such as has never before been brought
to light in Ohio, and which, for the sake of
our common humanity, it is hoped may never
find parallel in our history.
We will state the substance OF these docu.
ments, that the public may understand the
leading facts as they appear on the record

letter writer speaking of this treaty, says
Several Senators declare that this treaty

If the injunction of secrecy could be remov-
cd, distinguished Senator says that the facts
and circumstances developed in the course of
the debate would startle the people almost
beyond parallel.

ptOpte tnefF own ROVeTuOTss
As the doctrine of popular sovereignty, or
rather "squattcf IS, as.sGsnty" seems to be SO
strenously insisted upon by the supporters of
$. Arnold Douglass, it may be we'll to call
The attention of our readers to a few facts in
our laws to show how far that principle ia
recognized, and at the same time to recon-
mend to those who so strenuously insist on
introducing that principle into Nebraska .(D
the proprety of preaching it to some re-
sdents of the States. That the people should
possess the right to enact laws for their own
government is so plain that we have not the
least idea of advancing any arguments to sub
stantiate it-but that the people do possess
and exercise that right we deny. 1t is the
height of folly to preach this doctrine as ono
of the fundamental principles of our "gellori-
GUS" republic, for it is not true. 1t may do
for demagogue's cry, and the stump orators
beatifcation, but that any thin king, sober
minded persons can for moment entertain
this idea, much less advocate it and bovate
about il, is too much for us to understand.
Is it popular sovereignty that keeps three
millions of human beings in bondage, and
their minds in Egyptian darkness, because
they chance to have different colored skin
from ours' Itmay'be--aye IL is, the kind
Of popular sovereignty that is sought to be
introduced into Nebraska, but it will not suit
us. , #A
Again; the citizens Of New York re-
comfy, elected large majority Of their Gen.
eral Assembly in favor of the passage of a
Prohibitory Liquor Law. They convened,
and, in accordance with the expressed will
of their sonSsi:ueGis, drow up and passed a
law to answer the demands of the people,
But one man (')-Gen. Seymour set the will
of the people at defiance, and vetoed the
bill Where is the boasted principle of po-
pular sovereignty in all this!
Is it an evidence of this principle that
Rhode Island with l47,545 of a population
has two Senators in the U. 8. Senate, while
New York with her 3,O97,394 has but the
same number! Is it by this system of po.
puur sovereignty that there are AIS, ,52s per.
sons in the State Of Virginia who are debarred
the privileges Of, education--yes, and that il
is made crime in any one to teach them tt
read and write? s5
Must popular sovereignty answer for al
those misdemeaaors! Let Douglass and hi
coadjutors preach This doctrine of popular
sovereignty this side of Nebraska? Investi
gate it-amplfy it, and soc where they stand
AS we remarked before, it does we'll enough
to tickle the ear of the masses, and to gel
up flash popularity, but it will not stand o
cool and candid investigation.
We have heretofore shown, we think salts.
factorily, that the idea of the Nebraska Bill
leaving the government of the Territory to
the settlers in that Territory was not only
evidence of ignorance in those who advanced
it, but wilful Misrepresentation!

PosTAGE.--Dr. Olds, a member of Con-
gress from Ohio, is out strong for an increase
of letter postage from 8 to 5 cents for any
distance under 5000 miles. A beautiful idea
this for progressive Democracy. IF the pre-
sent rates of postage will not support the
Department and permit Congressman to use
the franking privilege for all their friends &
neighbors, put stop to the latter, and not the
former.
