The Issne.

pitnet OF DiacK Republican" TO the
Democracy Of California and hope by
hat means TO drive the democrats in
% the support of their infamous plat
form, and sectional doctrines. They
hope by this cry to cover their own de-
formity and secure the endorsement Of
their delegate sovereignty platform,
and the election of their toadying and
unprincipled nominees. Their efforts
here are to deceive the people into the
belief that Douglas is with the admins
istration, and that those who are sus-
tanning his anti-Lccompton position are
embracing re7ublicanism. All this is
falsebood and misrepresentation, re-
sorted to by the miserable and con-
temptible bummers who rely upon Of.
fetal position for their daily bread, and
who bow to the will Of the powers that
be rs the slaves Of Louis Napoleon
obey the beck of their imperial master.
To show the falsity of the assertion
that the administration agree with
Douglas, we make the following ex-
tract from his Chicago speech. He
says:
81 have made up my mind TO appeal TO

ders having formed mn nllinnce, an unholy
and unnatural alliance. with a portion Of un.
scrurulous federal office holders Intend to

know they deny the nlliarce, but yet these
men Who nre trying 10 divide tho Democrat
&c party for the purpose of electing a Repub-
'ican senator in my place, nre Just as mnch
~ 9 agents and tools Of the suppo ters of Mr..
Lincoln"
Thus we find the "Ciant of the
West" on the stump battling the allied
forces of Lecomptonism and Republi-
cani>m. The Federal officehollers Of
that State boltcd the action of the
Democratic State Convention and are
sustained in their course, and kept in
their places by the present administra-
tlon. Did the administration desire the
return of Douglas to the Senate, a sim
pie hint to that effect, and the Federal
ofhceholdcrs of Illinois would gladly
cease their unholy war against Mr..
Douglas but they are fighting to
maintain their official position, as the
vcrmined slaves Of Lecompton in Cali
fornla are also doing. The immolation
of Douglas and those who sustained
hlm in his popular sovereignty position
has been demanded by the administra-
ton and its tools are now endeavorinr
to carry ont its mandates. Thus we
find the administration making war ups
on Mr. Douglas, and that truly nat on
al statesman appealing to the people to
sustain his rational position and their
own sovereignty.
As aqule'us upon the lying charge
of "RepuIlcanism" made by the Lc-
complexities against the adhercnts TO
the doctrine of popular sovereignty, we
make another extract ON his speech,
showing the wide ference between
his position and that of the republicans.
Mr.. Lincoln is the Republican and Le-
candidate for the u. States
Senator from Illinois. Mr.. Douglas
saws:
"'hus Won see, my fellow citizens, thnt
the issue between Mr. Lincoln aud mvsclr,
ns rfs"cc i've cnndidatss for the Tn ted
states sena'e. ns made M. are d rect, an.
'q"iroco|. ami ir' econriiobie. II, q es for
uniformity in our domestic institutions. for
war OF sections, until Que or the other
hail he snhdued l 90 for the great prin
'irle OF the Kansas Nebraska hilI-,he ,ipht
the people to decide for themselves"
Thus the issue stands. The Repub-
leans and .ecomptonites united in
irging on war of sections until one or
he other shall be subdued-and the
democracy with the Giant of the West
It their head contending for the great
of the Kansas Nebraska bill
the right of the people to decide for
themselves. This is the issue-let the
ying tools of Federal officials, and the
lnnions of power who would crush
'ut the principle of popular sovereign
y, nlisrepresont It as they may.
