Political Proceedings.

A Correspondent of the Bridgeport Farm

General Constellation of the Congregational
Church, held lately, appointed Sunday, the
lst of June, as the time "when the agitation
Of the popular questions of the day, by their
ministers, in their pulpts," should COM

clergymen in that place made bad start.

Nebraska, North and South, Freedom and

The ReaIIsSue.

One Of the most important Issues involved
in the present political contest is that OF
popular so Sovereignty, OF the right Of The people
10 oorsrn themselves. Let be it stated fairly.
The National Democracy hold that the peo-
ple of the territories have just the same
right to manage and control their domestic
Institutions, as the people of the States Sla-
very is local institution. Congress has no
power over it. 1t must be left TO the Peo'
pie of the localities affected thereby. We
as citizens of Ohio, have just the same pow
or over slavery in Kansas, that we have over
the laws concerning the settlement Of es-
tutes, or any other local matter in that terri
tory.
Our opponents many of them acknowledge
that we have no control over slavery in the
States-that it belongs to the people them
selves to determine this question. Then why
not the same principle in the territories! Are
not the people OF Nebraska or Kansas ascom-
petcnt to govern themselves as the people
of Ohio! Does citizen OF Ohio lose his
rights to citizenship when he leaves this
State aud removes to Kansas! No. The
Democratic principle is to apply the popular
sovereignty rule to the territories as we'll as
10 the States. This Is the rule of the Con-
stitution. 1t is the rule OF freedom.
AboIilionists call the Democratic, pro-
slavery party. This they know to be un-
true, and those who believe the charge of
pro saveryism against the Democracy, do
not understand our position. There is not
Democratic paper in Ohio that advocates
pro-slavery doctrnes-not one. There is
not Democratic paper in the whole north
which either defends or justities the outra
ges committed by the Missourians in Kan
sas. On the contrary they all with one
voice condemn those outrages. The rule
which forbids invasion from Ohio, forbid;
invasion from Missouri. Now, we affirm il
as fact which cannot be controverted, that
the principle OF popular sovereignty advo ca
ted by democrats, ii strictly and rightly car
ried out, will insure the establishment o
freedom in every territory Of the Union.
The subject is plain and no man who i;
not willfully blind, can avoid such conclu
sion. 1t is admitted that three.(ourths Of Lh'
actual settler of Kansas are in favor OF free
dom. Now, apply the Democratic; doctrine
keep out all inVaders-leave the peopl
entirely to themselves, uninfuenced by Con
cress or the States, and they would decid
in favor of free institutions and free terri
tory at once. Our platform is based upo'
the doctrine that the people OF tcrritorie
are competent to govern themselves and thO
they have the constitutional right to COVER
themselves. Our opponents deny both thes
propositions. Here is the issue fairly statet
