Clearly Defined,

Hon M. S. Latham, in his Yreka speech,
thus tersely gives his views on the Kansas
Nebraska Bill:
"The Kansas Nebraska Bill says that the
citizens in the Territory of Ka' sas are to
form and regulate their domestic institutions
in their own way. Not my way-not your
way-not the way Of Judge Curry-not
the way Of any man but "their orn acoy."
Applause. This is what the bill (Kansas-
Nebraska Act says and let me tell you that
if Congress had said back to the Convention
that met in September, 1857, at Lecompton:
"You did wrong in not submitting the whole
Constitution to the people instead of the
vexed question Of Slavery alone" 1t 0oull
haze been INTERVENTION OF THE WORST KIND.
Il Cheers. 1t would have been Intervention
for one purpose, and aohen you comcede that
Congress can interfere IN che instance, DOM
goes the whole principle.

VERY NICE ARRANGEMENT.-Unde this
head, an interior exchange says that Broder-
lex and McKibben travel together. Broder-
lex wades through half an hour or SO,
speaking indistinctly, then lets McKibben
on, who drivels away couple of hours
Broderick in the meantime having invited
discussion by any respectable person." A
man of respectable capacity could condense
KcKibben's two hours speech, to ten or ff-
teen minutes. Broderick's flunkey, the Sac
ramento Union, which is paid for the disre-
putable service, fails to report McKibben' s
speech, in order to let him make the same
one at every place. Sac Standard.
