The game had to be renewed under a
different plan. Douglas had been charg-
ed with fayoring an alliance with the Re
publicans, but they failed in the proof !;
the Administration stands convicted of
the same charge ! so they offset the inno-
cence of one against the guilt of the
other and call it even. This small ac-
count being settled, Democrats were in
formed there was no point Of difference
between Douglas and the President, moth
ing worth fighting for; still, however,
the hounds kept bowling ON his track,
and the friends of the Senator were pro-
scribed and punished. Mr.. Douglas, they
said, had accepted the English Bill"
as finality. The friends of " Popular
Sovereignty" here, were again branded
as the minions of Mr.. Broderick or Re-
publicans in disguise This was the
stand from which the Mercury, Herald,
and the now defunct Globe were hurting
their thunder just before the arrival Of
the last Atlantic news. The speech of
the doughty Illinoisan, delivered at Chi
cago, July 9th, came to hand, and COM
pletely turned their whole base of opera
tions. In the last paragraph of that
speech, which is printed in another col
umn of this paper, Mr.. Douglas, in his
bold and emphatic way, re-states the
causes of difference between himself and
the Administration, and re afirms his de-
termination to oppose all parties who have
taken issue with him on the "Popular
Sovereignty" principle; he denounces
the English Bill" as "fraud and a
bribe," insulting to the North, and de-
clares that if the people of Kansas ac-
cept the Lecompton Constitution, under
the provisions of the English Bill, they
are unworthy the sympathy they have
received" He declares that the clique
of Administrationists in Illinois are the
allies of the Republicans, and that he is
as much concerned in defeating one as
the other. In fine, our Lecompton friends
must plainly see that, after all their efforts
to kill off or conciliate the "Little Giant"
I" Mordecai the Jew still sits at the kings
gate" Lecompton must and will be
hung-as high as Haman.

PINE PRAK, August 10th, 1853
Editor Independent While l believe that
you, as the editor of an independent journal,
merit tribute of respect for your fearless and
tree expressions of approval of Anti-Lecomp-
sonism, cannot but regret that the sphere
ofindependent journalism necessarily prevents
you from becoming the aUowed advocate of any
particular political doctrine. r.
The difference between an independent ex-
preston of opinions and beliefs, and the spe-
cial advocacy Of particular views can be read
lily comprehended by ALL and with proper
appreciation Of that difference, it cannot be
expected you will notice the vindictiye asper-
sions or silly arguments of whim-wham sheets,
whose opinion of themselves seem to be greater
than ours are of them and us both.
AS intend to vote what is, in the gulches,
denominated the Mud-s sill Ticket, upon nation
at grounds, was much amused on reading an
article in the last issue of the Calaveras CAron-
scle, under the caption of "The Issue before
the People" wherein an effort is made to make
the connection of David C. Broderick with the
Democratic party, the issue think, sir, that
David c. Broderick has less to do with the
issue than VIM. NJ. Gwin. Yet neither of these
gentlemen have made the ISSUE The issue is
the Lecompton issue. Administration men
may talk loud and long, making averments of
the settlement of the Kansas dificuty,-but
how was it settled ? Is it settled by insulting
people the Administration could not totally
dircst of their rights And even if it can be
said to be settled, are the motives of the Ad-
ministration before this farcical settlement
took place, not yet fresh in the recollection of
every reading, reasonable man?
What folly it is for men to cry out, Settle
ment! Settlement! and stake their reputation
upon such rotten and foetid policy. The peo-
pie have no right to thank any one for doing
all in his power to subvert the liberties or de-
prive people of their rights
Who are the Democratic party? What are
the principles of that party? Is the doctrine
of Popular Sovereignty as promulgated by
Senator Douglas, and as sustained by the
votes of Broderick and others, not Democratic
doctrine? Will the Chronicle enlighten us on
the subject?
Is it reasonable or in keeping with that high
tone of universal intelligence which character
izes the American people, that they should
place further confidence in men who have had
the daring effrontery to sneer at, and, to the
utmost of their ability disregard, despise and
insult their benefactors2 Who are the ambi-
tious, the arrogant. the mal-contents whose
seif-sancti6ed sense of their own superiority
induce them to arrogate the right of DIRECTING
the deliberations or freemen? Let them be-
ware lestthey aror.se the jealousies of Justly
