Inconsi.tency OF Douglas.

Douglas has only been late convert to
the "popular sovereignty" doctrine or hum
bug. We have already proven what his po-
sition was few years ago. decidedly and
emphatically in favor of the Missouri Com
promise, or letting it remain precisely as it
was. Now he says the Miss souri, Compro.
mise has been repudiated on all sides. He
means it mas been repudated by an errant
little demagogue named Douglas, who had
his own selfish demagogue ends in view
when he repudiated it, and that he has OBJ
tanned the backing of the Administration
reputation, which had also it's selfish ends
to accomplish. Douglas has always been
in favor Of slavery restriction till lately
He has been in favor of extending the Mis-
souri, Compromise line to the Pacific! And
he has voted and spoken in favor of slavery
restriction time and again.
Here is an extract from a speech he made
in 1850, after the passage of the Compro-
mise of that year:
mT. TTcsiucHt, may NC PcTuittcu HcIc ~
pause and remark that during the period OF
five years that was laboring for the adop-
ton Of the Missouri Compromise, my votes

dental questions touching slavery, were Civ.

basis, and are consistent with H.. If, there.
fore, any gentleman has the charity or wish
to understand the meaning of any or all the
votes had occasion to give during that Pc
Rod on this question, he has only TO bear il
mind the Missouri Compromise, and ther
observe the perfect harmony between eacf
vote and that measure"
An examination Of his first report on tht
Territorial bill last January will show tha
even then he had not discovered the Mis-
souri, Compromise was wrong in principle, o.
tina. it was inconsistent with, or supersede,
by, the so called compromise of 1850. Bu
times change and some men change will
them, sometimes very suddenly.
And this is the man who is calling kru

sistency with himself, traitors.

Appeal To Thinking Democrats.

The Enquirer asks Democrats, Can you in
your present position, control your own votes
in any manner you see ftp Certainly they
can, and what is there to prevent themi-
Does the Enquirer think those office-holders
and office-seekers, who SO falsely call them
selves sold line Democrats" will be able to
control their votes! We hope every Demo-
crat, and every citizen without respect to
party, uM control his own vote, by voting
for what he thinks is right and proper and
patriotic in an American citizen to vote, and
will so vote as to rebuke those leaders, who
are SO willing to sacrifice Northern rights
and interests to secure Southern votes, and
who have determined to make the support Of
the odious Nebraska measure, test of Dem
ocratic orthodoxy, and with iron hand sought
to crush down free opinion among the mass.
es Of the Democracy. They have told hon.
est Democrats, that they will not be recog.
nized as Democrats unless they support this
abominable bill. Finding this and similar
threats were unavailing, and that large
bodies Of Democrats are determined to vote
against Nebraskaism and the extension Of
slavery, they have now commenced coarinq
them not to do SO. Even the Enquirer has
ceased its threats, and now appeals "to think
ing men," 1t had better appeal to the un-
thinking men-to those who permit their
leaders to do all the thinking for them, and
bindly follow their dictates, no matter how
impudent and abominable the dictation NAV
be. As to the thinking men, they will be
able to think for themselves without the aid
ola paper which appears unable to think for
itself to any good purpose. And what does
the Enquirer want these thinking men to
think about! Why simply about the old
principles of the party. and their duly as
Democrats, in supporting their party on the
strength Of these. Yet these sold liners
have interlopated nep principle in the. par
ty, which is the sole question mingling with
the approaching election-and old principles
they will find have nothing to do with this
election. They have attempted to make
these thinking men swallow the Nebraska
bill under threats of immolation. This they
cannot do. The thinking men have already
done their thinking and made up their minds
The Enquirer and other machine Demo
cratic papers. are only trying to make them
stop thinking, by their appeals.

FAMILY BAKERY.-Messrs. Il. II. Cook &
Son have made an arrangement for the sup
ply Of families with the very best qualities OF
Bread, deliverable at their doors. This will
be an accommodation which our citizens have
never yet had as it should fully be. Judging
from the specimens of loaf, brown and mush
breads left with us yesterday, this bread has
never been surpassed if equalled by anything
before made in Evansville. They will soon
be prepered to furnish families with "Phila-
delphia rolls" Leave your orders at the
Grocery. See advertisement.

Texas Items.


We have received a copy Of large and
fine looking paper, called the Texas Ga

to receive it regularly, as it is most ably
edited paper. We give a few Texas items
below from it,:
VILEAIns.-We recently gave an account
Of the robbing of a horse trader in Grimes
county, named Phelps. We learn from the
Central Texan that Hadden and Hanks, af-
ter robbing him, played game Of cards to
determine whether or not he should be kill

en- bail for his appearance at the District
Court.

at Galveston, says that he has circuit oil
eighty miles; and that he travels it once a

We call the attention Of those interested,
to the proceedings of meeting recently
held in Centre township, which exhibit an
independence worthy of imitation. We
hope the citizens of that township will car
ry out their resolutions. We advocate the
principle of every citizen doing his own
thinking and his own voting, without dicta-
ton from any source. We are satisfied that
all our side needs for success at the ap-
preaching election, is for citizens to think for
themselves. The other side, or the Nebraska.
! ties, want citizens to throw aside all sober
thought, and vote just according to the deta.
ton of party leaders.

DEATH OF F. X. AuBRY.-Dspatches re.
ceived in the city announce the death of this
intrepid voyageur, in an affray with Maj.
Wei ,htman, Of Santa Fe. As no particu.

cause of the difficulty, though those know
ing the parties will feel assured that the deed
was committed on the spur of the moment.
Mr.. Aubry was well known as one of the
mos, successful and indetatigable of Mexican
traders, and has, by his incredibly quick trips,
earned the title Of the "Prairie Telegrap phi"

The Maine Election!

The news from Maine tells Of the entire
overthrow of the Machine Democratic Me-
braskaites. The administration is routed,
horse, foot and Dragons. 1t has received a
most unmercful rebuke. Morrell has been
elected by the people, requiring majority
vote over all his opponents. Wood, anti.
Nebraska, has been elected to Congress in
the First District. In 1852, this district
gave Mcdonald, Democrat, $500 plurality.
In the second district, Perry, anti Nebraska
is elected over Kimball, Democrat. In the
Sd, Benson, anli-Nebraska, elected over
Dickerson, Dem. In the 4th, Know lton

~ The Enquirer of yesterday was mild
and amiable, and very happily contented to
address, itself to Democrats, appealing 20
them, by all their old love of Democracy and
old hatred of Whiggery. to vote for the
"Democratic tickes''-in other words to sub
nit to being whipped in by the old machine
Democrats, to voting against their own feel
ings and principles. This kind of talk is
"stale, fiat and Improbable" Democrats
understand without dictation from the clique
organ of Evansville. wherein lies their duty,
and we hope they are the men to TO their du-
ny. They are no renegades or traitors in
voting against the Nebraska ticket-but
those Democrats are renegades and traitors,
and basely inconsistent, as we have time
and again propen, who vote for this Aebras-
ka ticket, and thus uphold the repeal Of the
Missouri Compromise.

The Canal.

The Canal yet continues out of order
We understand that the Engineer has let
the water out Of a level above, for the pur-
pose of clearing out sand reef, which re-
qrires two or three weeks delay, as we have
been informed. We should think the water
had been out Of every level on the Canal
long enough this summer, TO clear out the
bed of any such mpediments-or have
there been heavy rains up there the last few
weeks! A notice was put out by authority
a short time since that the Canal would in a
few days be in good running order, and men
up the line prepared their freight with much
trouble-but have been disappointed.
The owner Of boat just taken from the
river to the Canal, is going to take it back
again if he can get load to New Orleans,
which he has already partially engaged
Another is about to follow suit. Ii this re.
