! ooi py the Itepubican party, lor asserting that
the principle of popular Sovereignty" as e.
nunCiated in the Kansas Nebraska Act, was the
true policy to be engrattcd in the organization
of our Western Territories; and that this very
principle would be more favorable to the forma.
ton of free States, than of Slave. For three
successive campaigns did the Republicans of
your State fight the Democracy upon these ques-
tons, and not satisfied with simply arguing
against the provisions Of the Kansas Nebraska
Act, they denounced all as ''pro-slavcry,"
''doughfaces," TRAITORS" and hundreds of other
similar and harsher terms, who advocated the
measure. Douglas was decried as the master
william, because he had labored for its passage
through Congress, and President Pierce, they
claimed bad sold himself 'body and soul' 70
the ''saye oligarchy," because he would not
''veto' the measure. But now, as in all former
times of our countrys history, Is the sober
second thought" of the mass Of our citizens, en-
dorsng this very principle. This is proved by
the election of James Buchanan. And in such
States where the storm ragged the fercest, the
re- action is going on the strongest. In Ohio,
that in '54 gave the opposition 10000 majority,
they barely succeeded By plurality in '56, and
lost nine members of Congress. Connecticut,
that last fall gave Fremont nearly 5000, this
Spring gives them but two or three hundred,
and half of the Congressional delegation to the
Democracy. Iowa. which the opposition carried
by over 1000 in November, this Spring elects
majority of the candidates on the Democratic
State ticket. And the elections in the last ma
med two States, are but the precursors of more
brilliant Democratic triumphs to be achieved
next fall. The reaction, already powerful, will
but gather strength, as the time passes by
Some of the most rabid of the opposition, are
giving in their adhesion to, this formerly much
abused, on their part, doctrine of Popular Sow
ereignty' as contained in the Kansas bill and
the time is not far distant when the opponents
of that measure will be as scarce as the "antl-
jackson men, at the present day Even the
| leading organ Of the free State men in Kansas
the Loavenworth Tin,es-edited by a gentle
man formerly bitter Republican in, and resi-
dent of your State in fact your town, Robert
Crozier, Esq, now speaks in favor of the ''prn-
ciple" Of and argues that the Kansas BILL will
prove far more advantageous to the North than
to the South. In leading article headed, "Who
are Abolitiouists?" published in that paper of
the 9th inst, the editor, after stating that "the
free State party acknowledges no affiliation or
sympathy with the Abolitonists," uses the fol-
lowing language:
"We even 60 further than this by accepting
| the principles of the Kansas Nebraska Bill, and
acknowledging the right of q majority of the
people of our Territories to frame such institu-
tions as they may seem ft."
Again: In the same article in speaking of
falling back upon Popular Sovereignty" he
ssys:
"But we do it with cheerful alacrity be-
cause we believe that through it not only Kan
sas, but all our vast Western Territories, will
become free States. The South cannot compete
with the North in emigration. Free State men
by myriads will pour into these as yet undevel-
oped regions, and by their immense numerical
ipreponderance, mould free institutions for the
embryo States"
Thus, "out of their own mouths" from the
lips of their own leaders can the Democracy
prove the insncerty of the Republican actions,
during the last three campaigns in your State.
Let the people ponder these things. The above
specimen is offered as merely sample; there
are hundreds of other similar extracts that
might be gathered, had the time or space, to
show the utter hollowness and hypocrisy of the
leaders of the Republican party.
Hon. Thomas Cunningham, of Pa, one of the
U. S. Supreme Judges for Kansas territory has
rendered his resignation. His successor has not
yet been announced.
The Administration have had the affairs in
Utah territory under consideration for some
days past. The Governorship was rendered to
Maj. Ben. Mccullough, of Texas but he has
declined Rumor says that it is now offered to
some man in the West, but whose name will not
be announced until it is certain as to whether
he will accept The present Governor Brig
ham Young, also at the head OF the Mormon
Church, was appointed by President Fillmore
Instead of using his authority to aid in the en-
forcement of the laws, he is said to have been
foremost in the lawless and disgraceful pro-
ceedngs that have prevailed in that territory Of
late He will be removed, but whether it can
he done without much trouble, and the loss of
life, is doubtful. He has an armed force of
$500 men, under daily drill, and it is believed
that he intends offering resistance to the federal
authority, in case of his removal. Quite num-
Der Of U. S. troops have been ordered to the
territory, who, it is said, are to be placed under
the command of Gen. Harney.
On Saturday last the presentation of the eel
ebrated "elk-horn chair" to President Buchan-
an, took place at the White House, in the pres
ence of a number Of visitors. The chair was
made by western hunter, Seth Kinman, in
Humboldt county, Cal, and is composed entire
ly OF the antlers of the elk save the seat, which
is of finely finished buck skin. II is quite GU
riosity and the design evinces much ingenuity.
Mr.. Kinnman himselfis almost as much of d Gu
riosity in "these parts" as the chair he brings
clad as he is, in the full costume of the western
hunter.
