The course which the Union has ia
ken in regard to the Kansas difficulties.
and particularly in relation to Governor
Reeder's administration Of his Office, is
such as 20 show that he will be sustain
ed by the administration. Any other
course would lead to great confusion and
excitement. Gov. Reeder is preparing
to return TO Kansas. notwithstanding all
the threats to depose or lynch him. and
he asks no aid from government troops.

and maintain order.
The Missouri borderers, who have COM
mitted such outrages. have acted under a
belief which has been preservingly I'M
pressed upon them BY politicians, that
the northern people were all abolition
lists. and that If the northern people set
tied in and controlled Kansas. and made

would become worthless. the slaves made

mans life and property endangered

Popular Sovereignty as affected by the Kansas
Troubles

Ofall the political humbuggery which
marks this of humbugs, we know of
none more remarkable than the latest
the attempt to connect recent events in
Kansas with the great doctrine OF popu.
lar Sovereignty. or. in other words. the
right of the people 10 govern themselves.
The most reprehensible conduct Of per-
sons from Missouri who have forcibly con-
trolled the elections in that Territory. is
zealously adduccd as an unanswerable
argument against this political right.
which lies at the foundation Of all our
political institutions. A great principle
is tested by its liability to abuse. i:
there should be an Eruption of Cannadi-
ans in this city tomorrow. who should
take possession of the polls. and carry
the election, does it thence follow that
popular sovereignty is an absurd preten-
sion? The absurdity is with those who
maintain such pretsnslon. All our in
situations may be abused; often are abus-
ed; but should we gain by substituting
for them some other sovereignty than a
popular one? This is the very corner
stone of all despotism. Despotic gov

conclusions of the committee. reached
after a sitting of the facts stated, are
simply exhibitions of depravity and in

from the Legislature for his conduct; and
now proposes betrsying his companions!
He says if he is guilty Of the. Offences az
tributed 10 him, others in high Office are

ernments say to the people: you are not
fit to rule; you would abuse the priv.
lege; therefore we rule you. This is
just what was said in England ,hous-
and times, before oar revolution, to JUS
tify their assumed power over us. Laws
may be violated in Kansas as well as in
Michigan; but does that circumstance
impugn the doctrine OF the right Of self

we should think she done very unwise

this great doctrine. and prove its non-ex-

may be abused, and, therefore, according
to this new logic. no power can be grant
