"THE SOUTH'rs. THE ENQUIRER" ON
POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY.


Our neghbor of "rhe South" seems to differ from
US either as to the signcation of tho term "popu.
lar sovereignty, or in regard TO the proprety Of the
application OF that Democratic doctrine in the forma.
ton of the institutions Of new States. day or two
since We were called upon to state our position upon
the Kansas question As it now stands. But, as in
addition TO several previous expressions Of the same
opinion, We again declared our sentiments on the
subject in the Enquirer" Of the same morning, we
believe, on which "The South" asked for them, we
deemed it altogether unnecessary to do so again.
1t would, however, appear that "The South does
not understand Us yet. We will, therefore, briefly
give our views again for the satisfaction ofour neigh
Dor.
The submission Of only one clause Of the Constitu.
tion for the approval Of the people Of Kansas is not
strictly in accordance with idea of the full extent
to which popular sovereignty not only practicable
but also TO which the authors OF our institutions con-
templated its being carried. But as We are anxious
to sac the dangerous agitation Of the slavery question
aayed as SOON as possibe as was with reference to
that question, that the doctrine Of popular cove.
regnty was so distinctly re.afirmed in the Nebraska
Kanaas BILL and as slavery alone eeems to be
the only institution in regard to which there ia
any danger or diversity Of opinion in connection
with the application Of popular sovereignty, we waive
all abstract objections the subject, and cordially
concur in the sentiment that the Constitution Of Kan
sas should not be rejected or returned by Congress, be
cause none other than the provision with reference to
slavery has been submitted the vote of the people.
We contend that according to the spirit of our Govern
AZ Of he No
entitled to the exercise of that sovereignty with which
God and not man has invested them. Does The
South concur with us

A DIFFICULTY.

A singular dispute has just arisen (says the Wash.
Ingtou States '' between the free city of Frankfort
and the United States of America. The police Of the
former city has nterdcted the residence there of
old political refugee, of the name of Froebe who
bss since become an American citizen NJ. Frosbe
PLAYED certain part in the events of lS4S. In con-
sequence of this ndction he has applied to NJ Reick
or, the American Consul who has threatened to break
off his relations with the Senate of Frankfort if it
persists in maintaining the order Of expulsion Of a
citizen of the United States. The New York "Jour-
nal of Commerce" has the following on the subject ::
THE CASE OF MR. FRoEBEL.-The statement in
the summary of the European news by the Atlantic.
relative to an attempt the part OF the police au
horties of Frankfort on the Maine to expe from that
city Mr. Julius Froebe is not altogether correct. We
have seen letter from Mr.. Froebei to friend in this
civ in which he mentions that, when he fret arrived
n Frankfort he was required to answer to the police
by what authority he, political refugee claimed a
right to reside in the city; to which he smply re.
ped as an American citizen. referring them to
the American Consul TO verify his statement
This simple representation Of Mr.. Froebel, and its
corroboraton by the American Consul, perfectly
satisfied the authorities and Mr. Froebel and his fam.
y have since continued 10 reside in Frankfort in the
endowment Of the same freedom as any other resident
MI. Froebel was a distinguished member of the ad
ysnced liberal party in the German Parliament of 1913
and was rendered still more notorious by bis mission
in company with Robert Blum, to the insurgents OF
Vienna in October of that year the capture OF Blum
and himself by Prince Wndischgraez, and their con
demnstiun to death; the execution OF Robert Blum
and the sudden uusccountabe manner in which b.
fFroebe) was pardoned. Soon after the occurrence
of this remarkable event Mr.. Froebe went to Zurich
in SwitzerIaud where he occupied the chair Of bot
any in the university there. He emigrated to the
Iued States in 1885, made several long tours through
this country aud Central America, and only returned
10 Germany last spring for the purpose of publishing
= very able and valuable work in which he details
h;s IMPRESSIONS of the New World. Mr.. Frosbe be-
came citizen in the winter of 1856, and purposes
turning to his adopted country early nezt year.

nent, has fallen victim TO lingering disease which

loss TO all who appreciate true genius, they te that
IN consequence OF their more intimate relations with
MIN, they nave sustained personal bereavement in
his untiinely end.
Mr.. Crawford had entered upon the great work au.
thorised by the heraity and patriotism of Virginia
as a Monument TO her own Washington, with zeal
and ability which had it pleased Divine Providence
to permit its completion by him, would have mmor.
tazed the sculptor, and nobly consunmated the de.
removed from the tolls and ambition of life to an.
other and happier sphere, while to us il s given TO
cherish the recollection of his genias and his worth
and 10 render to his memory tho feeble, but sincere
tribute of our admiration and respect
Resolved, That in The death Of Mr.. Crawford, we
mourn the lOss of a man and artist, Of whom our
country had reason TO be proud and whose character
exhibited qualities emitting him to our highest
gard and esteem.
Resolved, That We deeply sympa,hize with the
family OF the deceased in the bereavement they have
sustained
Resolved That copy Of these proceedings be
communicated to the widow of Dir. Crawford.

SPEAKER OF THE NEXT HOUSE OF DELE.
GATES

Permit US. Democrats Of the Valley, 10 say that we
should be greatly pleased If the Speaker Of the next
House of Delegates should be taken from the
Valley or Western part Of the State. We do not zee
why the Speaker should always come from the East.
We opposed to all sectional feeling and that this
may be kept down. We think the principal officers
should be taken alternately from the different sections.
The fact that the Speaker of the House of Delegates
has always been taken from the East, seems to imply
that we have one in the West qualified to fill the
place. We think the action of the Delegates in the
election of Speaker and the officers, should be such
as to prevent the existence Of sectional feeling We
hope that the former gentemanly Speaker, Major
Crutchteld, will not allow himself TO b. brought for.
ward in opposition to man from the West especial
y when the West can present gentleman so well
qualified for the place a. Gen. y. A. CHAPMAN one
of the Delegates from Monroe county. He has had
long experience public life and has every qualifcs'
ton to make him irstrate Speaker. Ksis gentle
man of high character and qualifications, and would,
doubtless M the place to The entire satisfaction of all
parts of the State. We hope the East will come for
ward in body aud do justice 10 the West by aiding
in the election of Gen. Chapman or some other west.
