The Right Of the People to Rule.

The Louisville Journal, the most influential
wing paper in the southwest, which opposed
the Nebraska bill, because Of the danger to
southern interests resulting from repeal of the
Missouri compromise line, now repudiates the
issue Of repeal, and sustains the principle OF
popula. sovereignty on which the Nebraska
bill is based, in the following conclusive argu-
ment addressed to northern men -
And after all, the main principle Of the
Nebraska bill is certainly in itself right. We
do not see how any man ofgoOd sense, who exam
ines the subject. can come TO any other conclu-
sion. We can see no reason why the general
government should say that the people living on
one side of the parallel oflatitude shall have
the privilege of deciding for themselves wheth-
er they will have certain institution or not,
bnt the people on the other side of the parallel
shall not have that privilege. Such discrm-
ination appears 10 us 10 have no foundation in
justice, reason or common sense. We cannot
but regard II as pdOus and wrong Give to
the people Of all territories the power to choose
their own institutions, or give il TO none. We
should almost suppose that the northern peo-
pie would have too much sectional pride TO he
willing even 10 submit TO this discrimination
which they advocate. How can northern folks
reconcile i: TO their feelings that northern folks
shouldn't have tho same privilege of selEgov-
eminent as southern folks that persons living
north Of thiry-six thirty, should be denied
powers freely exercised by all persons south
ofthirty-six thirty! When before was it known
that the people of any portion of the country
commended jealousy for a denial to their own
section of powers, privileges, and rights be-
longing to other sections Will our northern
friends do us the favor TO bestow thought OF
TWO and word or two upon this view of the
subject =

Democrats. Awake !

Ii is time to set about the work we have TO
do in this campaign. ALBION X. PARIS is
to be elected Governor of Maine, against wings,
free sellers, and the odds and ends and fag-
ends Of all the parties and isms in the State.
A combination the most corrupt, exists, the
object of which is to keep down the demo-
cratic party. Bargaining is practiced openly
between the wings and free sellers, and they
boast of their guilt.
Democrats, if you are not awake to the i'm
portance of the present contest, it is time to
wake. Let the armor be buckled on-that
old armor that has been instrumental in OBJ
tanning many victory-and let US redeem the
State from the rule of the unprincipled and
corrupt. We can do it. Wake up the mass
es. Let them see the interests at stake
Point them to a mana noble man as ever
lived-a man whose record sheds light on the
past, and who has honorably filled every sta
ton TO which he has been called. We want
ALBION X PARIS in the future-we want
him to re-instate democracy in her ancient po-
sition-to defeat blackleg politicians, and
wrest Maine from the rule and ruin of whig-
gerry. Shall we have him!

Engine Company. No. 8.

In our last, in an article on the late riot,
we made the following statement on what we
supposed to be sufficient authority, viz
member Of the Company, who is considered
Of undoubted veracity :-
g We understand portion of the members
Of Engine Company No. 3. who are hired by
the city as fremen, on returning to their en-
CINE house from the burnt church, publicly
gave three cheers for the aChO fired the
church,
A card appeared in the Mirror Of Friday,
signed by nearly two-thirds Of the Company,
among whom we notice names Of gentlemen
for whom we entertain the highest regard,
wherein they state that the accusation is false.
1t is certainly true that we 50 understood"
but as all are liable to err, we suppose the
gentleman who gave us the information,
must have misunderstood the language used
on the occasion referred to. If he sees fit to
reply, our columns are open. We are really
happy to make this correction, and close the
subject by expressing the wish that 80 noble
and selfsacrifcing a set Of men as we have
ever believed our fremen to be, may always
as now, discoun;enance entirely any MANI
festations Of this kind.

Mr.. Reed on the Maine Law.

In accepting the nomination of the Wing
State Convention, as candidate for Governor,
Mr.. Reed defines mis- position on the Maine
law by copying the celebrated resolution passed
at that Convention, or in the words Of Gen.
Scott, ''accepts the nomination with the reso-
lutions annexed.''A He says =
g i am opposed to the repeal or essential
modification of any of the constitutional provi-
sions of the Maine law and am in favor Of its
judcious enforcement, until experience shall
demonstrate that II is inefoctual or unicisc.'
OF this resolution, the Bangor Mercury,
(whig,) says =
4" We do not know when it has been our
lot to comment upon so awkward and clumsy
an affair as this One of the Boston papers
has said of it, that it is SO loose that Spauld-
ing and Rogers circus carriage, drawn by
forty horses, might be driven between any two
WORDS Of it. In our mind it resembles nothing
more than the prayer made by skeptical Of
fcer on the eve of battle at time when he
thought he must pray, and was equally anx-
ious to save his soul and his skepticism. He
prayed as follows 'Oh God, if there is a God
in the coming battle, if there is to be bat
tie, save my soul, if have a SOUL "

nationality while war on our foreign popu-
lation and a particular sect is British tory IN
origin and in principle. The fathers OF this
republic never thought of SO narrow business
as to object to the signature OF Charles Car
I Fell of Carrollton, to the declaration OF indie
pendence because he was Catholic; OF to
The use Of the service Of the brave Montgom-
ery because he was an freshman and to them
have succeeded a roll Of illustrious Americans
who have been Catholics. The great and
comprehensive patriot, Andrew jackson, new
er thought of letting so unworthy considera-
ton, as that he was Catholic, prevent Judge
--Taney.s nomination as chief justice of the
United States and whoever objected to the
service of the gallant Senator Shields, on the
plains of Mexico, because he was an Irish
man. But the introduction of the sect ele-
ment or the race element into politics-ap-
peals to sect or against sect, as such-can-
not be too strongly deprecated. 1t is policy
deeply viOlative of the spirit of our institu-
tiOns. 1t is at war with the principles of our
federal constitution and hostile to true
American nationality. 1t tends to create dis
trust where should be confidence hatred,
where should be fraternity and violence
where should be amity. Indeed, nothing can
be more anti-American than that course of
action which tends TO make, and to perpetuate
"a distinction between citizens native born and
those whom Providence has cast on these
shores-B0Ston Post.

has begun to ''smeil the rat" In Vermont
the wings have absorbed the abolition party,
and taken new name, calling themselves the
"Republican" party. In Maine the fusion is
almost complete. True the wings have NOM
mated candidate for Governor, but he is
simply put up as scarecrow TO drive the
wings into the support of Arson P Morrill,,
the abolition candidate. In some of the Con-
gressional and Senatorial districts, whiggery
has been melted into free soil, in other dis
tricts, free soil has been melted into whiggery
The great object is, combination OF all the
elements Of opposition TO the democratic par
ty, in order to deal ponderous blow, which
shall overthrow that party and place the rule
and destiny Of the nation into the hands OF FAC
tonsis and despisers of the Constitution and
the Union.
The experiment cannot succeed. The peo-
pie are right, and will sustain that party that
sticks, as the democratic party always has, to
NATIONALITY and THE UNION. The wing par
ty of the north is becoming so thoroughly abo-
litonizcd that the southern wing IS deserving
the wreck. They see the abuse heaped upon
the south BY the abolitionized wing party of
the north, and they know there is nothing to
hope for from a party thus prostituted to the
purposes Of sectionalism. They look 10 the
democratic party as the true national party,
and will give it their support. There is not
the least probability that the wing party to-
day could carry single southern State.
What, then, is the prospect ahead When
the democratic party of the north rights itself,
as it assuredly will when the noise and fury of
the madcaps of New England are over-joined
by their loyal brethren Of the south-the DE-
MocRAcY will again prove its invincibility,
despite the fusion of all the material of oppo-
sition that has accumulated since the days of
the Hartford Convention.

GA power which has given US two Of the
mednest p residents that ever occupied an ex-
ecutive chair, and which is now sought for,
with degrading concessions, to continue the
democracy in power, and uphold the Nebraska
outrage"
The above significant paragraph is cut from
that delectable sheet, the 'Daily Mirrors" Of
Monday, paper purely neutral in politics,
whose editor has lately poured forth lachry-
nose appeals to the liberal Of all parties to
lend helping hand TO sustain his sinking for
tunes. And this is the treatment democrats
receive from his neutral sheet for aiding in its
support sheet that was pledged TO be
welcome visitor in all circles-to deal honor
ably with all parties. We have only addi-
tonal proof that the ethiopian cannot change
his skim or F'the leopard his spots" 'The
dog luW return to his vomit' '-''the sow that
was washed, TO her wallowing in the mire."
The ''power" to which he refers, and which
he accuses democrats of seeking with de-
grading CONCESSIONS is the power Of the
foreign u0te and this charge comes from

extacics because his candidate for the Presi-
dency was stumping it through the West, and
tellinghow pleasant to his ear was the "broad
German accent' and the ''rich Irish brOgue !"
and who, while in Cincinnati, holUcd his Sab

sckening and SO transparent in this respect,
was exulted in by the Mirror less than two
years since-by the very paper and the very
man who now has the brazen effrontery to
launt democrats with making concessions to
the power Of the foreign vote. Out upon
such bare-faced hypocrisy-such arrant turn
coatism. Democrats must feel great anxiety
to help sustain such traducer Of their party
and Of their principles.
Perhaps upon the newborn sympathy now
being developed by the editor aforesaid, and
many of his quondam abolition as well as
present wing associates, for the modern
"Nnow Nothing" spawn Of old "Native
Americanism," we may have occasion to say
MORE ANON.
