SENATOR DOUGLAS MAKING UP HIS CASE FOR
lS6O,-In late speech in Missouri on the bred
Scott decision, the Kansas question and Utah
pelyeamy, Mr.. Senator Douglas has been making
up bis case for 1860.
Upon the bred Scott decision be sails straight
forward in the wake of Chief Justice fancy, from
beginning to end, which is easy and plain sailing
Upon the Kansas question Mr.. Douglas goes a
little ahead OF Robert j. Walker; for, Gays the
gentleman of Illinois, if the free State
patty blindly and obstinately refuse 10 exercise
Inc ii II; a,iIe 81; sei w ny az laws Of Congress
upon their heads, and theirs alone, will rest the
fearful responsibility" We consider this to be
equivalent to the declaration that the State con-
stitution which the Kansas pro-sayery party may
adopt will be acceptable to Mr.. Douglas in the
United States Senate as the basis uoop which to
admit Kansas into the Union, whether said con-
stituton shall have been or shall not have been
submitted to the people of Kansas for their ratf-
cation. Governor Walker, on the other hand
.ays thst if this State constitution is not submit
ted TO the people be viii do what he can 10 secure
its rejection by Congress. Thus we see that
while Robert ]. Walker occupies the middle con-
tervatiye ground Of Mr.. Buchanan, Mr.. Douglas
occupies the extreme ultra Southern ground on
this Kansas issue. This is suggestive of some
curious party classi6catioas in the next Congress
aud Of the whole DRIFT of the programme of Mr..
Douglas for 1850. 4" In for penny in for
pound.
With regard to Utah, Mr. Douglas recon-
mcnds that Brigham Young and all other federal
officers ia the Territory connected With his I'm.
cody Mormon crew. shall be dismissed and su-
perseded by decent Gentiles; that a rigid inquiry
he made into the alleged crimes Of incest,
bigauy, murder, treason, &c, charged against
the MOrmons; and that If these charges are found
60 be true, and The Mormons should prove incor-
rigible and intractablc in their wickedness their
Territorial government shall bc taken away and
hey shall be left subject to the outsiders law of
/ 1890. by The provisions Of that law all crimes
ard misdemeanors committed in Utah. If de-
privcd other Territorial government. can be tried
before the legal authorities OF any State or Terri
tory to which the offender shall be first brought for
question arises, has not Congress conferred GER
tain vested rights upon the people of Utah ia
their Territorial government. which cannot be
rightlully taken away! In any point of view. we
. arprehcnd that, by any man OF any party, very
little can be made out Of the Mormons for the
Presidency. They are an Outside concern. and
do not enter into the vital political issues of the
dsy-the frst Of which is pggers and the second
of which is niggcrs, and SO on to the last, which
is also the everlasting question Of niggers
1t is upon this momertous question of niggers
that We must look for the real Presidential plan
Of Mr.. Douglas. We think, from his late speech,
that this plan is the ultra Southern policy of
Mr. AtchisoR, as contradistngushcd from the
intermediate conservative policy of Mr.. Bucha-
nan and Mr. Walker We shall saow more by
and by. This will do for the present
Mr.. Douglas says that once he was in favor
Of nominal popular sovereignty, but now be had
become convinced that the thing Ia practically
wrong On the other band, Mr.. Buchanan adj.
heres 10 the doctrine OF tho Kansas Nebraska
bill Where these two roads respectively lead
we shall ascertain shortly after the meeting of
Congress-
