SGUATTER SOVEREIGNTY

Our neighbors of the Democrat" ar,
raign us boldly for declaring openly our
"Opposition to the doctrine of popular
sovereignty, sometimes derisvely termed
"squat;er sovereignty" as embraced in the
Compromise Measures of 1850, and the
Baltimore Platform of 1852, and subse.
quently embodied in the Kansas Nebraska
act. This opposition is but another conven-
lent pretext of antagonism to the Democrat
ic party, and the party that wages the same
makes itself an ally to those northern abo-
litionlSts, whose opposition to the Nebraska
bill has couchedd it's hydra head under ef.
forts TO restore the Missouri Compromise"
We are free to confess that VIC admire the
chivalrous zeal with which our friends rush
into the arena to defend, what we must per-
sist in consioering ''pernicious hercsy."-
The major proposition embodied in the con-
Guiding portion of the above extract is ten
able only on half the grounds which it oc-
cupies for the extract which we published
last week from the Richmond Enquirer,
shows conclusively that only a portion Of
the Democratic party endorse the measure
of sqoatter sovereignty; and when you as
sert that the party which wages this war
VS.. scatter sovereignty makes itself an ally
to those northern abo,iiionist whose oppos-
ton. TO the Nebraska bill has couched its
hydra head under efforts to restore the Mis-
souri Compromise line, your statement.
neigbbors. is fatally at war with irrefragible
evidence which we shall in cur next issue
introduce to prove the fallacy of your posi-
tions.
We can well afford gentlemen, to take it
easy when ycu impute "lack of knowledge
or Inconsistency" TO rs. For we referred
to no mans antecedeuts but spoke Of the
nature of this doctrine, against which, GER
arty-having created new views concern
ing it-now wage war in which it is joined
by some Of the warmest supporters of your
cause.
Again. gentlemen-speaking of squatter
sovereignty, you say:
.'Suf1ice it to say. that this is tie great
question which will embrace the great is
sue, and which, though settled in the Phila-
delphia Convention By resort to ''expedl-
.ency, concession and compromise it will
never be yielded by the Democratic party
without at least the sacrifice of the very
existence of its members"
All or nearly all Of the leading Journals
in the interest of your party contend that
slavery is The great question, &c. General
Hampstead in his speech on Monday night
contended for the same thing. Now, neigh
bors, when doctors disagree who shall de-

Col. Warren.

We noticed in the South Stamp of the
9th ult-, and in the same paper of the
30th ult-, a list OF Col. Warren's appoint
ments in number of the counties in this
Congressional District Col W. invites
his opponent, if he is to have one, to meet
him, Col. Fowler will accept the chal-
lenge with as much alacrity as his friends
could wish for. By the way, we see in
exchanges a report to the effect that Col.
Warren had secretly published his ap-
pointments. 1t is but justice to the Dem
ocratic nominee for Congress to remark
that the publications referred to in the
Stamp do away with the force of these
imputations.

AMBRoTYPEs.-We would again re-
spectfully ask attention to the advertise
ment of Prof WILSON, Ambrotypist. Mr.
Wilson's stay in Washington is now limi-
ted to few. days, as other engagements
call him elsewhere Mr.. Wilson's pictures
have given universal satisfaction, and We
presume there are very few of our citizens
who have not secured one or more speci-
mems of his beautiful art. To such as
have as yet failed to do so, We would say
that it is probable some time will elapse
before they have another such opportunity
to secure faithful copy of the original.
Prof. Wilson will probably visit Hot
Springs shortly, and to the sojourners at
that place of resort, we can with safety
recommend him as an adept in his pro
fession, and an accommodating artist

FATAL DUEL.-We learn from our New

a. Pass Christian on the 2lst ult., between
Mr.. Michael Cuddy, of the frm of Brown,
Cuddy & Co. Commission merchants, and
Mr.. r. w. EstliD, of the house of Estlin,
Lee & Co., which resulted in the death OF
Mr.. Cuddy. They fought with pistols at
ten PAGES, and Mr. Estlin was slightly wound
ed in the right arm at the first fire, Mr..
Cuddy being uninjured- At the second
fire Mr.. c. was shot in the groin on the
right side. the ball passing through the fem
oral artery, across the abdomen. and through
the opposite artery, lodged in bis left hand,
producing instant death. The difficulty
originated in business transaction, and Mr..
Cuddy was the challenging party

R@ We learn from the Pine Bluff
American of the 2Sth ult. that Colonel
FOWLER had gone to Helena few days
previous to that date, and would return in
ten or twelve days and enter upon the
duties of the canvass The nomination

the American party in the Southern Dis

the people come to be fully informed as
to the views of Col. Fowler as opposed to
those of Col. Warren, they will prefer him
to the latter gentleman as their Represen-

10 1t was only last week that we we're
forced deeply to regret the possibility that
Mr. Fillmore would decline the nomination
of the American party, in view of the opin-
lon in which be is held by our neighbors
of the Democrat. And this week, we are
compelled to feel sorry for Gen. Yell on the
same account. We are, however, author
lied by some of Gen. Yell's friends to saw,
that it is highly probable he will continue
the canvass in spite of our neighbors efforts
to scare him off the track.

The Northern Congressional District of
this State

We learn from the Jacksonport Tribune
and True American of the 18th inst, that
the convention to nominate candidate
for Congress, from the Northern District
of Arkansas, on the American ticket as
sembled at Jacksonport on Monday the
18th inst
The officers usually presiding over such
meetings were appointed,
"Whereupon, the following preamble
and resolutions were submitted by a COM
mittee appointed for the purpose, which
preamble and resolution were unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, from an unprecedented rise in
White and Black rivers, and the other
streams, the delegates from number of
the counties composing the Congressional
District, have not been able to reach this
place, and as time will not admit of calling
another convention, so as to enable the
nominee thereof to enter the present can
vass, either with justice to himself or good
hopes of success, and, whereas, from all
the information that this convention has
been able to obtain, Gen. H. L. Thomas
son is the first, unanimous and only choice
of the American party of this District to
represent the party in the next Congress
of the United States. Therefore,
ResoLrcd, That this convention Though
not fulI, nominate and recommend to the
people of this District, General Hugh I.
Thomasson as the candidate of the Amerl-
can party for Congress in the Northern
District of Arkansas, and that the counties
not represented in this convention, be re-
quested to concur with us in said nomina-
ton, and forward their concurrence therein
to Gen. Thomasson as early as practica-
ble"
1t was also resolved that convention
to nominate candidate for elector for the
Northern District, be called to meet on
the second Monday in this month, (June)
at Jacksonport.
A committee of FIVE was appointed to
inform Gen Thomasson Of his nomination,
and other steps necessary in the premises
were taken We are informed that there
is no doubt as to Gen. Thomasson's ac-
ceptance of the nomination, and we have
it from the best authority that he is a
gentleman of very decided ability, fluent
speaker and a fearless champion of our
great cause Just the man to meet, and
successfully to dispute for the victory in
debate over his competitor who is to can
vass the Northern District in the absence
of Judge Greenwood, the nominee of the
Democratic party. Success to Hugh F.
Thomasson. A self-madc man, one of the
people, Republican, Democrat, loving the
Union, he deserves the confidence and we
trust he viii receive the support of the
majority of the votes of the 1st District
We are pleased to sec that our friend of
the Tribune, Mr. Benham, is full of hope
for the success of our principles in the
Northern portion of the State, and that he
is at work in the columns of his excellent
journal with viii for the American cause.
We send TO him greeting, and wish him
and the candidates Of his portion of the
State all good cheer. With our candi-
dates and our platforms and a hearty CO
operation, all with all, we ought to be
successful, and we have what we consider
reasonable hope for the best we could
wish for.

We are credibly informed that the ears of
the editor of the Louisville Democrat were too
short for any practical use, for long time.
and remained SO until Prentice took hold of
them, and lifted him "out of his boots, -
stretching them thereby. They account
for the former shortness of Harney's ears, by
