they desired to act stubbornly, and so refused
to eat Yesterday, the Captain of the Police

MsREPoRrED.-The Bulletin, in reporting
the remarks of the Hon. j. c. McKibben in

MeKibbin said, if the principles of popular
sovereignty and uon.intervention were Brod

ick-Republican. The local reporter of the

more sense than thus to misrepresent pub

A QUESTION OF INvEsTMENT.-Th Bulletin
of Thursday has the following:
The case of Edward Baxter and others VS.
Mckinley, Garrioch d Co, was tried in the
Fourth District Court on Tuesday. The
plaintiffs residing in Scotland, brought suit
for $4,000. They allege that in 1854 they
sent that amount Of money to defendants to
invest for them, and defendants sent them in.
terest mp to December, 1856. In 1857 the
plaintiffs revoked the agency, and afterwards
brought suit for the money, and in the com
plaint allege that defendants did not invest
the money, but used it in their own business
The suit resulted in a verdict for the plaintiffs
for SO, l0s, and that the defendants fraudu
lently converted TO their own use the sum of
$4,000 belonging to plaintiffs. ! A new trial
has been moved for on the ground that the
verdict was against the law, and at any event
the case will be carried to the Supreme
Court.

Carson VALLEY.-A correspondent of the
Standard, writing from Carson Valley, says
1t is said that Carson Valley is 35 miles
long and Is miles in width; this would give
it superficial area of 525 square miles, or
S2o'ooo acres, which is probably an approx
imation to the truth At least one third of
this is the finest quality of agricultural land,
possessing facilities for irrigation. OF the
other two thirds, one-half is good grazing
land. and the other half entirely useless To
occupy this magnificent tract of country.

little girl six years old. the daughter of a Mr.
Countryman, residing at Paynes The wo.

screaming in the barn, and, proceeding to the
spot, discovered the brute in the act. Helm

and will be maintained. in my opinion, by
the South and the North stood upon this
ground in the passage of the bill shall
maintain it with fidelity and honor to the
last extremity"
He sticks up to these declarations finely
now! Out upon such treacheryl
We come now to what Hon A. G.. Brown
himself said in regard to this bill-the SAME
man who led off in the debate of February
23d last, in favor of a Congressional Slave
Code for the Territories Mark well his
words:
Il suppose. when we passed the bill, that
we intended by it to give them q right to
legislate on all subjects touching their do
nestle policy; and that if anybody was dis
satisfied he should go to the courts, and not
come to Congress for his remedy. This has
been my understanding, and have endea-
vored to live up to it. My friend from Mi
chigan and myself differ very widely as to
what are the powers of q Territorial legisa-
ture-he believing that they can exercise
sovereign rights, and believing no such
thing he contending that they have right
to exclude slavery, and not admitting the
proposition; but both of us concurring in the
opinion that it is n question to be decided 6y
the courts, and not by Congress II we are
agreed on that, let us agree on this other
proposition. If | had been the party ag.
grieved by the laws of Kansas, knew the
place to which | was pointed to seek my
remedy. If others are aggrieved, let them
go to the same place"
And now this same man wants Congress
and not the Courts to settle these questions
We advise every intelligent man to read
carefully the foregoing extracts, and then
ask himself, who has abandoned the Demo.
cratic party We Douglas Democrats or the
Lecompton factionists? We of the Douglas
party contend that Congress, by the Kansas.
Nebraska Bill, expressly delegated all the
powers she possessed over slavery in the
Territories to the Territorial legislature: if
the Territorial legislature in any case tras-
cend its powers, exercising more than could
be delegated, an appeal is to be made to the
courts, but Congress is in no wise to inter
fere; absolute no, Intervention on her part is
the Democratic doctrine. Now, we ask in
all candor, if the above extracts and those
yesterday do not prove that the Douglas
Democracy are right in their position Have
we not shown that their construction was
the universal construction among the Demo
Gratis of that period?
But we have by no means exhausted the
store of testimony on hand, and may draw
additional records hereafter

A Southern Voice.

We clip the following paragraph from
the Sandusky Register, 1t is sensible
paragraph, and the truth it contains should
sink deep into the minds of the Democracy.
Mr.. Davis is Marylander, and a member
of Congress. Hear a member of Congress
from a slave State:
Hon. Henry Winter Davis, at recent
American meeting at Baltimore gave his
views of the origin of the Harper's Ferry
difficulty. He attributed it entirely to the
Democratic party-the party, he said, that
had involved Kansas in all her troubles
that had invaded territory, and committed
bloodshed and murder; that had repealed
the Missouri Compromise and that had at
tempted to fasten upon Kansas the Lecomp-
ton fraud. The Democracy had not only
committed all these depredations, but a
Democratic President had sent the army
into the territory to protect the outrage
1t was these acts on the part of the South,
and Southern aggression upon the North,
that had led to the Harper's Ferry disturb
auce which was at the worst only the act Of
crazy old fool.
