A DExocRrIo BoLT PHKDloTRD.-The New
York Herald, which did its best to secure
the reelection Of Mayor Wood, is now treat
ing the defeated Democracy to series Of
shower baths in order to fortify their consti-
tutions against greater trials ahead. In the
result Of that election it processes to recog-
mise the beginning of general bolt from
the Northern Democratic party, and gene
raj fusion of the boilers, with the combined
opposition forces, which cannot fail to sweep
everything before them in 1860. Kansas is
the rock which is to grind the party to pow
der. We quote:
Make Kansas slave State, by any pro.
cess whatsoever, and the Northern Democra
cy are annihilated; make Kansas free
State, upon the fairest possible terms, and
the Southern 6re- eating wing of the Democ-
racy fly off a, tangent into open rebellion.
In either event the South will be borne down
in 1860 by the superior pressure of the North
and Northern Administration will succeed
to powers

The South TrAun4hants
Itwould appear that the South, says thu
Chicago JoHrnal, 20 far a. the dominant
party can give it, 10 to have full sway n
Washington. All the important o6ces Of
the House excepting the Clerk and Printer
1.-THE latter Of whom divides with his Virgin
il competitorl are from the South, and Of
the standing COMMITTEES, sixteen Of the twen-
ty-four chairmen are from that section, and
those sixteen embrace all the really impor.
tant committees in the House.
In the Senate, the South also has the Ii.
on's share, the president pro TEN. and the
chairmen of nearly all the important oom-
mittees being Southernsrs.
In the Executive Department, the South
has majority, and likewise in The Federal
Judiciary. In fact, the South, though much
weaker than the North in wealth, commerce,
population and all the important interests
and elements that make up great nation,
has complete possession Of our National
Government-has possession Of nearly all
the chief Offices, the most inAential positions
in Congress, majority in the Cabinet and
Judiciary. and the control Of the dominant
party in tie nation. Sheis in q position to
dictate terms to the North on every ques-
tion, and to drive the North into every
measure that she may deem ft to propose.

dom in the government, the country - in.

nature Of those considerations to which the

asnsrslly known to our resders that tho Le-
compton Constitution, even without what is
called the slavery clause, is still . slavery

Of slaseholdsrs now in the Territory are
not to be affected" in either case, and the
increase Of their slaves sre consequently
doomed 70 perpetual servitude. In truth it
10 grave question whether the Constitu-
tion without the slavery clause is not moro
Questionable than with it. Vote as the
people Of Kansas may upon that internal
instrument, and Kansas is slave State.
Slaves are now being taken into the Terrific
ry BY hundreds from Missouri, knowing
that in any event that property will be safe
under the Lecompton Constitution, and tits
moro than probable that the slave holders of
Kansas and their Border Rufian allies, will
vote on what 10 called the Free State side
for the purpose Of enhanoing the value of
their niggers.

"OLD BUCK" INA TIGHT PLACE.
The Press, very unkindly reminds the
President of the following passage, in
his letter to Prof. Silliman, touching
the Kansas Constitutional Convention !:
The Convention will assmble to per-
form the solemn duty Of ironing a
Constitution for themselves and their
posterity and in the state Of incipient
rebellion which still exists in Kansas,
it is my imperative duty to employ the
troops Of the United States, should
this become necessary, in defending the
Convention against violence while fra
ming Consultation, and in protecting
the bona fde inhabitants qualified to
vote under the provisions Of this instru-
ment, in the free exercise Of the right
Of suffrage, when it shall be submitted
to them for their appreciation or rejec-
ton.

in the Senate debate, on the 9th, Of
the fact that the omission in Mr..
Toombs' Kansas bill Of the last Con-
gress, of any provision for q submission
to the people Of the Consultation pro-
posed to be formed under it, scas a
matter Of design and concert among
the Democratic politicians ,Oho con-
jerred upon 1t. The Republicans sus-
peeted the design at the lime, aid
charged it, but were met by indignant
denials. Il Is n0w said By Mr.. Big
Ter that the trainers Of the Toonsbs
bill intended that there should be no
sub..ission to the people Of the Con-
stitasion to be formed under it.

QUESTION ANswRRkD. - Jhe ChlcaHo
Tribune thus sensibly remarks:
&c The inquiry is frequently made, Why
do the Republicans commend the action and
approve the position of Senator Douglas,
if they do not believe in his doctrine Of pop
ular sovereignty p The answer is easy =
Popular sovereignty is the law Of the land,
and as long as it is SO, and as Congress per-
sists in giving the people of an incoming
State power to establish slavery by major
ity vote, the Republicans as = party, being
law abiding men, are willing that the Law
should take its course, and properly COM
mend any one whe resists the attempt to
warp it to the purposes of injustice That's
why. But let the Republican party once
come into power, and, az Western men say,
it will knock Mr.. Douglas' popular sove-
reignty and its author higher nor kite. =
It is the Republican creed, that Congress
has and should always exercise the right to
prohibit slavery in the Territories Of the
United States; but that it has not and
cannot exercise the right to establish it any
where"

Mn. EprroR 81 was little surprised by
your Saturday Journal saying, that for our
large county subscript. ons to our railroads
We were denied the possession of the
stock 100 had bought. If buy COW Of my
neighbor and give my note, will he keep pos
session of the COW to secure the interest on
said note? / would like to know whether
this COW is dry one, or if she gives reg
ular dividend of milk for my family The
Railroad Treasurer has got our stock, has
he! Well, does it yield any dividend in his
hands ? Does he do our voting at the Rail
road meetings2 johnson and Scott coun-
ties have got their stock. Well, this is a
precedent which, if right, We will follow /;
if wrong, why are they permitted to take
their stock /? #
I wish Judge Thayer would explain this
matter to US, and if We ought to have pos
session of our own property (the stock)
then, by all means, withhold the interest
till we get it. If he does not like to take
the responsibility of Withholding the mon
ey, he can have an injunction served on him
until the legal right to the stock can be
tested. AiUSCATINE.
