The Principle.

Xhe frhHciPlos
The illustrious author of the Decla-
ration Of Independence, through a long
life Of eminent services, endeavored to
impress his fellow citizens with the abb
solute necessity, in government like
ours, Of obedience to the will Of the
majority. Since that period, through
every agitation, and over all the tenn
pest Of partisans, the sagacious eye can
trace the progress Of the principle Of
Popular Sovereignty, as the future and
only plan for harmonic ng the sections
al strifes, that may arise concerning
the organization of Territories and the
admission of States. 1t is the common
platform Of all national men. Even an
Administration in the flush and full
ness of its patronage and power, could
not induce the advocates Of that Ma
tional Principle, to abundon or COM
promise it, nor will the free and intel
Iigent voters Of the country, repudiate
it. Even those who yielded to the Ad-
ministr alton test of Lecompton, and
cast their votes for that iniquitous mea-
sure, were all the while proclaiming
their devotion to Popular Sovereignty;
and the President, while exercising a
rigid prescription of those who opposed
that measure, wherever Lecomptontes
could be fourd to ill their places, was
careful to say that hereafter the wise
policy adopted towards Minnesota
should be followed in the admission of
States. We care nothing for the ap-
parent Inconsistency of the declaration
that. hereafter the people of the ter
ritorics should be protected in that
which the administration has so per-
sistently denied to Kansas. We mem
tion il for another purpose as showing
that even those who were violating that
fundamental principle of free govern
ment, dare not exhibit the bardihood
to abandon it altogether.
For the violation of the principle of
popular sovereignty, in the case of Kan
sas, Mr.. Buchanan found an excuse in
Drcd Scott. and looking at the ques.
ton Of slavery alone, declared that
Kansas was as much slave State as
Georgia. In that question alone the
administration sought justification for
its course.
II has been left for the advocates Of
Lecompton in California, in convention
assembled to deliberately and unequiv-
ocally assail the doctrine of popular
sovereignty in all its bearings, by de-
claring as they do in their platform,
that, the people have the right to vote
upon the adoption or rejection of their
fundamental law, by saying so through
their masters, their representatives or
delegates. Should the popular vote
sanction that platform, the principle of
popular sovereignty is repudiated, and
The will ofthc representative submitted
10 its place.

FURTHER TROUBLES IN Bear Valley
The SHERIFF RESISTED 1t will be remem.
bered that few weeks ago. says the Mari
posa Gazette, we informed our readers that
the Supreme Court had dismissed the appeal
in the case of Fremont D. the Merced MINING
Company. which gave Fremont the right to
be put in possession Of the Josephine dvis-
ion OF the Bear Valley mines. Two jurors
in tts courts below had decided in Fremont's
favor. The company then appealed to the
Supreme Court, but having failed or neglec.
ted TO file in that Court any bi of errors or
other assignment OF error, the Court Mt the
present term disms the appeal A mo-
'i0n to reinstate the case, was made for the
Company but was denied. After ten days
had elapsed n remittitur wss transmitted to
the courts below with the bill Of costs Up.
on the filing of the remittitur with the Clerk
writ Of restitution was issued, which the
Sheriff (Crippen) and his deputies have three
several times unsuccessiully attempted to
execute. On Saturday the 7th inst, he
summoned a posse, but when he arrived at
| the premises in dispute, he discovered that
but six out of the forty summoned. obeyed
the call. The Sheriff. finding the tunnels
powerfully fortified and defended by some
thirty or forty resoute men. came to the
conclusion that it would be impossible to ex
ecute the writ with any force at his com
mand. In this emergency, G has certified
these facts to the Governor, MS required by
law. We arc informed that the parties in
possession maintain that the WI it which run>
against Smyth Clark and John Vandewater
cannot operate to dispossess them, and that
they are determined to hold the property a,
all hazards, even against the power of the
State.
