The Kans.. Discussion I'm the Senate.

hS hnhhes tne senate.
The discussion in the Senate, upon the
concurrent resolutions Of the Assembly,
was opened by Senator Ferguson, of Sacra.
mento. in an argumentative and forcible
speech in favor Of the principle of Popular
Sovereignty. He was followed by Messrs.
Carpenter and Bell on the same side, and
Messrs. Garter and Burch, in opposition
to that principle as promulgated by the
National Democratic Convention at Cincin.
natl. That we may fairly understand the
Popular Sovereignty plank enunciated by
the National Democratic Convention Of 1856,
we will refer to it. The public will then be
enabled at glance to see the bald hypocri-
sy and glaring treachery to the National
faish of the Democracy. of those gentlemen
who were elected as Democrats, but who
now abjure their political faith. and deny
the right of majority Of the people of
territory to form their own institutions -
The people can then see the false, corrupt
and hollow hearted professions Of Democra.
cy and ofgoverniny principles, of those who
now sustsin the Lecompton constitution, and
are endeavoring to make the will Of a small
minority the fundamental law of sove-
reign people Of one of the States of the free
American confederacy. Here is what the
Cincinnati Platform says in relation to the
question now under discussion
"Resoiued, That we recognize the right
OF the people Of all the territories, including
Kansas and Nebraska, acting through the
legally and expressed will of a majority of
actual residents, and whenever the number
of their inhabitants justi6es it. to form
Constitution. with or without slavery, and
be admitted into the Union upon terms of
perfect equality with other States"
IL was this doctrine in relation to Kansas,
that was "heartily endorsed and approved"
by the Democracy of California-it was upon
this doctrine that the national Democracy
succeeded in electing their nominee, after
he had fully and unreservedly sanctioned
the declaration by declaring that no was no
longer James Buchanan, but the Democratic
platform--t was to this principle that the
Democracy everywhere pledged n settle.
mant of the question, and we're endorsed by
the people. The honest adherents to prin-
ciple can but observe with regret and ndig-
nation, the base treachery of those in au.
,hority, who now repudiate that principle
and would make the Democratic party an
instrument in the hands of unpriuciped
demagogues. for the engendcrng OF section
al war and the disruption of the Union
The public should mark these un-
principled recreants to the pledged faith of
a free, honorable and intelligent people,
and hereafter permit their innate oorrup
tion to tester and wrankle in n retiracy tn at
will not again disgrace the only free govern
ment of the earth.

Eloquent Speeches.

The speeches delivered in the Senate upon
the Stratton Resolutions, by Messrs. Fergu.
son Bell and Carpenter we regard as the
most brilliant efforts which have ever been
made in California Legislature. Mr.. Fer
guson's speech is replste with sound argu-
ments and unanswerable reasonings; Mr.
Bells speech is an able review of the history
of popular sovereignty doctrines, and full OF
scathing irony upon the course of President
Buchanan in his vascilla.ions upon the Kan
sas question; Mr.. Carpenters effort, is
couched in classical language and abounds
in mastery eloquence. We regret that our
paper is too small to admit of their republi.
cation in full. Mr.. Burch Administration
made very few and feeble remarks in res
ponse to Mr. Bell. but he is Of too light
weight to talk back" successfully even had
he q better theme. The State Journal at
