MONDAY MORNING, JAN. 18TH, 1858.
Right on the Kansas Question.


We rejoice to see paper which has ever
maintained so truly Democratic position
as the Shasta Courier, propounding so sound
views upon the Kansas question as are set
forth in the following paragraph:
However little worthy of sympathy arc
those fanatics who refused to yield obedience
to the iaws-who refused to participate in
the framing OF their organic law--yet for
one We cannot but regret that the President
did not, in this particular instance, pass by
the letter of the Kansas Nebraska Bill, and
base his action upon what has long been
recognized as its true spirit The refusal OF
the Convention to submit the Constitution
to those who must live under it, for their
approval, is an outrage upon the people by
their representatives They may have me,
the requirements of the Kansas Nebraska
Act indeed, they have doubtless done So
and yet their course of action is none the
less an outrage upon the rights of the peo-
pie of Kansas"
Men of every party who believe in the
fundamental principle of popular sovereign
ty cannot fail to say amen to the above fair
and manly expression of opinion upon this
vexed question. We are proud to observe
our views in this matter SO decidedly ex-
pressed by 50 sound writer and thnker o.
the editor of the Courier.
