Berks County may not be so familiar to you.
Berks County has always borne peculiar
relation to the Democratic party. In Berks
County the regular nomination has always
passed current, and hence il was that Mr..
Clancy Jones was elected. lie took into his
head he could do anything, and by singular
hallucinaton that he was not a representa-
tive from a free county. but that Berks coun-
ty was somewhere in South Carolina OF Ala

a Representative from a free district, and u
any question was put to him about the Iarit
or any public measure his first reply was
would it suit the South ;" But after all this
great principle had penetrated the hearts, the
hearths and the fresides there, as it has here.
They are not accustomed to the windings OF

they reused the lion Of public opinion and
Borks Co. repudated him like a reptile that
had crept around her throat. Loud cheers. J
That was a lesson which more than any
thing else was felt at the seat Of the Federal
Capital. That was rcbuke which Mr.. Blu

POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY AND NON
INTERVENTION.


INTERVENTION.
The st. Louis Missouri Democrat has ad-
ministered a terrible dose to Senator Doug
las-tcrrble, because it demonstrates that, in
doging the bred Scott decision, Douglas has
practically surrendered the doctrine Of nom
intervention for if that doctrine is not as
good against the Federal Court as it is against
the President and Congress, it is of no sort
Of value. We quote
FROM the ST. Louis Democrat
The advocate of Popular Sovereignty must
endorse practical non-interyention by Con-
gress in the Territories, IL he would maintain
his thesis Assuming as the primary position.
which Judge Douglas does. that tho people
of Kansas. or Nebraska. or Utah. have the
right to shape their own domestic Institutions
it Is not possible that he can consistently re-
cognise the exercise Of any cxtraneous power
controlling their will Accordingly, he takes
ground in favor Of non-intevention by Con
gross, and upon that he rests chiefly his claim
10 popular sympathy. But why does he stop
there Why does the sclf-apponted cham
pion of the people halt in the very breach,
and surrender TO one power what he denies
TO another Why, in short, does he not
also take ground IN behali OF uon-lutClFcu-
tion by the other coordinate branches of
the Fedcrul Government-thc President and
the Supreme Court 1t may be said that he
does oppose Executive Interference. Well,
be it so. We will pass by that branch of the
subject, although governors and Judges and
/ soldiers to rule people and all Of Prosidcn-
tal appointment recall many features Of coll
onial dependence But how is it about nom
, Intervention by the Supreme Courti The
opponents of Mr.. Douglas in Illinois have
taken ground in favor OF such non-interven-
tion. Mr.. Lincoln opposes heartily the ex-
: trajudicial decision Of the Supreme Court,
which would frame articles for the government
of the Territories and for that very oppose
tion he receives the dcnunciations of Mr.
L Douglas and the abuse of his followers .--
! Why is this We are not quarrellng with
3 the decisions Of the Supreme Court Let
, writs issue, and let them be enforced. But.
D as Mr. Douglas says that when Congress sets
g itself up TO take legislation ont OF the hand
q of the people Of the Territories, and make
them free or slave, at It's dictatou. 1t violates
the fundamental liberties OF the American
citizen. assuming the same reasoning, we
say that when the supreme Court sets itself
up TO take legislation out Of the hands Of the

FORNEY ON THE PENNSYLVANIA
ELECTION.

In 1856 Pennsylvania gave large maiori-
ty for Mr. Buchanan, and year after gave
Gov Packer a majority of 10000; and in the
present contest the issue was distinctly made
and well understood no man was more con
scious Of this than the President, and he
strained every nerve to secure Pennsylvania
as an indorscr of his policy. In all my lie
have never seen such prostitution OF othclal
patronage. In bygone days, when the wing
party came into power, they turned out the
Democrats and when the democratic party
came into power they turned out the w hlgs
but never before has such prostitution oil pat
ronage and official station been known as IN
the late election in Pennsylvania. Not only
was the money of the people expended by
hundreds Of thousands of dollars, but the Ad-
lministration resorted to the most extraordl-
nary processes using this patronage and this
money against its ownpolitical friends or ra-
ther against those who stood by the principle
l'of the Democratic party, which gave power to
that Administration In the district repre-
sentod by Col Florence the regular vote was
overwhelmed by an imported army Of office
holders. Some $500 men were in the Navy
Yard alone, where not more than 500 are re-
auired. Every branch of the public service
was drawn upon for the purpose of contrbut-
ing to this immense horde Of merconaries =
but Notwithstanding this you have the result
before you-of Is Democrats who were eiec
ted in 1856, but five have been reelected
while instead of the balance ten open and de
cided opponents of the policy of the Fedora
, Administration have been returned. LouS
cheers. And of these five, three OF then
