The Douglas papers have been publishing
a statement that Breeze would not consent
to be a candidate for Senator In opposition
to Douglas. The Judge has written letter
to one of these gentry to correct this state
ment, in the course of which he states that
his ideas of democracy differ widely from
those of the Douglas advocates, whom, with
their leader, he looks upon as conspirators
against the party, and secret or open eno-
mics OF its great patriotic chief, the Presi.
dent.
We have room only for an extract Of the
letter
But think, friend Boyakin, your ideas of
democracy and mino differ, most essentially.
You will pardon me for saying that yours
seem to be concentrated in one man, whilst
mine embrace great principles. Yours seem to
tend to the disruption and debauchery OF that
great party; mine, to its conservation and
purity. Yours, if carried out, will ami.
hilate it; mine, will restore 1t to its pristine
vigor.
What position may consider it my duty
to assume In this contest now so fercely
waged against the Democracy Of the nation,
its cherished and time honored principles,
and ieroer still against him to whom that
portion Of our nation have committed the
power. will depend on circumstances.
OF one thing you may be assured, and my
past life 10 the guarantee, that will not be
silent or inactive when see, or think see,
that graat party in danger from conspirators
within its own bosom, or from foes without.
| The last are least to be dreaded, as their at
tacks are open in the sunlight, and manly
The conspirator deals his blows secretly he
gets up false issues for the OCCASION, under
cover of which he makes his attack. That
species Of warfare is now in progress, and
om surprised you do not see it.

Popular Scvereigsty..-W what Did
Douglas IL eaIIy Iuycnt!


The following extract from Mr.. Lineoln's
speech ut Paris, Illinois, gives very accu-
rate statement Of the merits Of Douglass
contribution to popular sovereignty;
Let us inquire, (said Mr.. Lincon,) what
Douglas really invented when he introduced,
and drove through Congress, the Nebraska
bill. lie called il popular Sovereignty -
What does Popular Sovereignty mean? p
Strictly and literally it means the Sovereignty
OF the People over their own affairs-in other
| words, tho Right Of the People Of every ma.
ton and community to govern themselves
Did Mr.. Douglas invent this? Not quite.
The idea OF Popular Sovereignty was float
ing about the world several ages before the
author Of the Nebraska bill saw daylight
indeed before Columbus set foot on the Amer
| lean continent. In the year l776 it took tan
gible form in the noble words which YOU are
all familiar with: "We hold these truths 10
DO elf-evident That all men are created
equal; That they arc endowed BY their Gre
ator with certain inalienable rights; That
among these are life, liberty and the pursuit
OF happiness; That to secure these rights
governments were instituted among men, de-
irving their Just powers from the consent of
the governed" Was not this the origin of
Popular Sovereignty MS applied TO the Amer
lean peoplsf Here We are told that govern.
ments are instituted among men TO secure
certain rights, and that they derive their Just
powers from the consent of the governed.--
II that is not Popular Sovereignty, then
have no conception Of the meaning Of ords.
Then if Mr.. Douglas did not Invent this
kind OF Sovereignty, let Us pursue the inqui-
~ and find out what the invention really was.
Was 1t the right Of emigrants in Kansas and
Nebraska to govern themselves and gang of
nggers too, il they wanted them2 Clearly
this was no invention of his, because Gen.
Cass put forth the same doctrine in lS48, in
his so-called Nicholson letter-six whole
years before Douglas thought Of such thing.
Gen. Cass could have taken out o patent for
the idea, il he had chosen to do 80, and have
prevented his Illinois rival from reaping q
particle Of benefit from it. Then what was
1t, ask again, that this @Little Giant'' in
vented? 1t never occurred to Gen. Cass to
call his discovery by the odd name OF "Pop.
ular Sovereignty He had not the impu.
denee to say that the right OF the people to
govern niggers WINS the right Of people to
govern themselves. His notions OF the 1t-
ness Of things were not moulded to the bra.
zen degree Of calling the right to put hun
dred niggers through under the lash ia Me-
braska, . s.sacred right Of self-goyernment.' .
And here, submit to this intelligent audi
cnoe and the whole world, was Judge Doug
las discovery, and the whole Of it. He IN
vented a mans for Gen. Cass' old Nicholson
letter dogma. He discovered that the right
Of tho white man to breed and Aog niggers in
Nebraska was POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY !
lGreat applause and laughter.

We have heard much recently about the
high salaries Of the State officers and the ex.
trayagance Of the State Administration.
Let N see how the Locofocos have man.
aged the National Administration, whenever
they have had their own way and given a
practical exhibition Of their principles and
policy.
The appropriations for the present year
made BY the National Congress amount to
over one hundred millions Of dollars. OF
this sum over tifty-six thousand dollars was
appropriated for the SALARY and domestic ex-
penses OF President Buchanan.
But Iowa, with more than one.fortietb of
the population Of the Union, does not e1-
pend one four hundredth part as much for
State expenditures. And the salary and do
mestic expenses of MIR. Buchanan cost the
National Treausry more than tho salaries of
our Governor, Secretary Of State, Treasurer,
Auditor, Register, Superintendent Of Pub.
he Instruction, Attorney General, Supreme
Judges and all the members of the Senate
and House Of Representatives, including per
diem and mileage.
Think OF it, citizens of Iowa, the people
OF the United States pay James Buchanan
alone more than the people Of Iowa pay oil
their State officers, their Supreme Judges,
ana all their Senator's and Representative
combined. Ay, look it over, and then listen
TO the Loeofoco orators in their denuncia.
tons OF the high salaries paid to the Repub-
lican officers Of Iowa.

We see by the papers that some OF the
leading men of Dubuque, Davenport, aud
other cities, Irrespective of party, are en-
deavoring to secure an extra session oil
the Legislature, for the purpose OF OBJ
tanning the credit Of the State to the
amount of FIVE or six millions IT doll 81
to aid few of the railroads being built
in Iowa. We do not believe The credit
of The State can he loaned, as proposed.
without change in cur Constitution.
We arc sure that that was the under
Standing of the people when they voted
for the Constitution. Aside from the
Constitutional question, We are opposed
to the State running in debt for any such
pu pose. We should learn by the expe-
riencc of other States, and not rush head
long into measure that will cripple us
for years. Because Minnesota aud Mis-.
souri, have created large State Debt to
secure their railroads, it does not follow
thu, Iowa, with better and greater natur
al resources, should resort to the same
expcdient to induce migration. We
are will ng to have this matter discussed,
and give the views of Platt Smith, Esq
of Dubuque, in another column.
We see no reason TO- an extra session
of the Legislature. The laws of the last
session are not yet distributed, and We
think an extra session is uncall2d for,
and will be attended with unnecessary
expense. We hope an extra session will
not be cali j.

State credit is the only available credit
we have left With it, We get dollar

times We cannot get that even, by prom
ising per cent interest. State credit
is the on y available, cheap and adequate
credit. All admit, that this crodlt will
b. used some day. | think we need it
now as much as ever. State bonds are,
by oar Constitution and laws, made IA ba-
sis for banking, aud banks secured in
this way, are safe. They will afford the
means to buy the produce OF the country.

can take ample security from the roads,
