Locofocos are oftentimes giants in talk and
pigmies in action.-LouisriHe Journal.
The Journal has put the snddle on the
right horse. The so-called National Demo-
Gratis in Missouri and PENNSYLVANIA have
shown themselves to be national demarogues.
They have been ranting and proclaiining
their devotion to Democratic principles. be-
cause they were "sound on the goose ,, that
is, they thought that white men ought to be
driven out Of Kansas to make room for ne.
groes. This has been their great test Of
Democracy, by which every man has been
tried. If he was in favor of white men pos
scssing the territories, he was free-soiler
and unsound; but if he was in favor of civ.
ing it up to negro slaves, then he was a
sound National Democrat. The late finan-
cial disasters have, however, brought up
these pretenders to Democratic principles
with another test. The struggle Of the De-
mocracy under Jackson against the banks
is too recent to be ignored by these shamo-
Gratis, as they have done the principles Of
Jefferson the father Of Democracy, with
reference to Slavery.--M. Louis Democrat.

the aggregate on that side would be only So

Democrats should divide equally on the
Kansas question, the bogus State cannot be

american, that majority Of them viii vote

A correspondent of the Iowa City Repub-
Hcan, writing from Des Moines, thus speaks
of the temporary State House: .
The structure is Sc by 100 feet in size, 3
stories high, after the Ionic, or rather Com
posite' style Of architecture. The first story
is IL feet high, containing the Treasurer and
Recorders Offices, and committee rooms.
The second story, IL IL feet high, contains
the other State Offices, the Supreme Court
Room and State Library. The third story,
Is feet high, contains the two Representa-
tive Halls, fitted up with taste and elegance,
and more conveniently arranged than those
of the former State House. We have more
rooms and Offices, but not so large; and,
upon the whole, the building is commodious
and well adapted to its present purpose. 1t
was built at cost Of about S40, 200. Scat
tering timber lies Immediately back of and
about the building, and presume no other
State House in the Union is in so 'sback
woods and primitive looking place as
this. ..

from these, he found the syrup to be clearer

the juice apparently Invested Of its colorinr

than the first. We copy from the Toledo
Blade, the following notice of its contents:
MoTLEY's "Florentine Mosaics'' are con-
tinued. PREscorr, it is thought, contrib
utes an article "The Battle of Lepanto."
An exquisite little poem "The Wind and
Stream" much in the style of KINGSLEY,
comes next, and is followed by sketch
pleasantly and rather rollickingly told, about
''Turkey Tracks," Some sage historical
researches about "Robin Hood'' are next
brought to light. "Ghosts Redivivus," is
supposed to be from the pen of DR.. RurISI,
and is good story. s.The Golden Mile
stone" is poem which sscan never die. -
1t is unrhymed- bears the marks of
LoscFELLow's or some kindred genius. The
idea of the poet is, that
each mans chimney is his Golden Milestone,
Is tho central point from which he measures
Every distance
Through the gateway Of the world about him."
HOLINESS "Autocrat of the Breakfast Ia
ble," continues his witty sallies. "Thomas
Carlyle" is rather a stilted laudation of
that celebrated author.
A story called "The Button Rose," rather
of tho rose-leaf order, succeeds, and "Our
Birds and their Ways" chirps pleasantly af-
ter. "The Indian Revolt" is short and
clear history Of the Sepoy Instruction
"Skipper lreson's Ride" IL jolly ballad,
of how, in the olden time
"The strangest ride that was ever sped
Was Ireson's out of Marblehead!
Old Floyd Ireson, for his hard heart
Tarred and fcatherei and carried in cart
By the women Of Marblehead."
"Solitude and Society,"" a short article in
the Emcrsonian style; "Akin by Marriage -
continued; "Where will it end,'' strong
political essay bearing the marks of PARKK
GoDwIN's individuality throughout-and a
little chip Of poem entitled, "My Portrait
Gallery" conclude the list Of articles. A
short but piquant list of Book Notices fill
out the number. On the whole, crafty

progress Of the atlantic. The idea of the

Democratic vote of this State of November,

of hundred thousand, consists of an oppo.

Wow every Black Republican paper in the land 10
claiming the citizens Of the territories the right to
establish their own domestic policy in short they now

which they Condemned in such unmeasured terms and
DENOUNCED a. the kanns ipiuaity," but yeas ago.

:. That is simply mistake. Republican
papers are not supporting the principle Of
squatter sovereignty. They have ever OPP
posed the doctrine, and We defy our neigh
Der to point to single article in Republi-
can paper, where the Nebraska bill isspoken
of in terms of commentator. 1t can't be
done. Republican papers are not cldfming
for the citizens Of the territories the right
to establish their own domestic policy. The
most they have done, is to insist upon the
Democratic party redeeining its pledges
that the principles of the Nebraska bill
should be carried out in letter and in spirit.
Is this supporting the principle Of Squatter
Sovereignty? Most emphatically, Mol Tho
Nebraska bill is the law of the land, and as
such the Republican papers have ever in
sisted upon its faithful execution. Is this
equivalent to admitting that the principle Of
Sauatter Sovereignty is correct? Again we
answer No! The Republican papers through
out the land, have announced their deter
mination to hold the Democratic party re-
sponsible for the practical workings OF tho
Squatter Sovereignty system-and are in
sisting upon the people Of Kansas being
allowed to frame their own Constitution, to
suit themselves, without interference from
the General Government. The Republican
papers claim that rs the right of the people
Of the territory, under the Organic Act
they do not CLAIM, it as an abstfdrt right
guaranteed to them by the Constitution ofthe
United States. For insisting upon a faithful
adherence to the organic act Of the territory,
while il remains such, we do not conceive that
we in the least admit that the principle Of
Squatter Sovereignty is correct. Others
may think difercntly-if SO, they can main
tain their own opinions, and We will ours.
II this is a case Of complete qualification
90 be it.
Wecan say, with the Burlighton Harkeye,
that we have always held the doctrincc that
Slavery was local and the creature of local
law-that freedom was national, and that
every human being was free under our Con-
stitution, unless en.laved by State laws. We
never favored the Infamous doctrine OF the
Kansas Nebraska bill, that the few settlers
in territory had the right and power to
stain that territory by cnacting laws in vie
lation of the great American doctrine that
life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are
inalienable rights.

Kansas Still "Blee dinx."

The organs of the harmonious Democra-
ey are just now engaged in Kilkenny cat
warfare. The Lecompton Constitution does
not seem to be a .fnaHty-kansas still
ssbleeds.'' The Presidents organ boldly
asserts that the problem is solved-the vex-
ed question settled, and commits the Presi-
dent to the support of the Lecompton Con-
stitution. Although the President and his
right hand organ have piped, many of the
lesser lights refuse to dance. We last week,
gave numerous extracts from the leading
Democratic organs in the North, taking is
sue with the President on this question-all
declaring that the end was not yet. We
present to-day, in continuation of this hdr-
n,onious action in the unterrifed ranks. two
more extracts, from organs nearer home.
Read them, and jump at conclusions, if you
can:
From, the Council Bluns Bugle.
awe think that the Convention in failing
to provide for the submission of the Consti-
tuition to the people, has committed great
blunder, and that Kansas should no, be aid
mittcd into the Union, until her Con.titu-
tion has been submitted to the people, and
ratified by them.''
From the Dcs Moincs Journsl, .'
"The Constitution framed by the recent
Convention in Kansas, is not to be submit
ted for ratification by the people. This poll
cy is anti-Dcmocratic, and wholly wrong,
and for one, us an humble member of that
party, claiming nothing for our opinions
but that consideration which past services
and honesty of purpose may entitle them,
We protest against such an outrage. We
have defended the principle when it was
called Popular Sovereignty, Squat,er Sow
ereignty, the Nebraskality-.we swore by it
when the three thousand clergymen in the
name 81 Almighty God pronounced in dam
nable-and now we stand ready to the ex-
tent Of our ability to do the same when its
overthrow is sought by the Washington
Union, or any other paper. power or people,"
