sG President Buchanan, in his letter to the
New Haven clergymen, declared that slavery ex-
listed in the Territories of the United States by
virtue of the Cohstitution.-Sac Union.
That letter of Mr. Buchanan received the ap-
proval ofthe Democratic party everywhere
and no where more universally than in Califor-
mia. We are quite sure that the editors of the
Marysyile Democrat and the S. f. Ners were
among those who approved it. We are Inclined
to the opinion that the Union did not disapprove
it. Indeed, it was generally deemed a mastery
letter, and as such received the plaudits of the
country. Now, however, the Ners and Demo-
Graf tell us that the people of the Territory, al
though not possessed of sovereign power, can
thrust out of the Territory that sort of property
which they have heretofore admitted the Con-
stitution took there. That is to say, they con-
tend that the power of the people of Territory
is superior to the constitution of the United
States. That sort of Popular sovereignty which
makes the wishes of the people of Territory
superior to the Federal Constitution, is not to
our liking.

TRUTH SquAsHEp WILL RISE AGAiNH-The
Sierra Citizen tells of Chicago mass meeting
which he once attended:
''But when the first speaker arose, the throat
batteries ofthe multitude were opened so tre-
mendously and unmistakab!y that the orator
hurriedly retired. A number of other speakers
were treated likewise. Cook saw that he was
in the midst of the Opposition and that his
friends couldn't be indorsed. He attempted to
speak; his rage was magnificent; he COM
menced and the throng Missed and hooted.-
'idear me mint he shouted ''you id in
fernal foolsl Truth squashed to earth'll rise

The nomination Of Milton S. Latham for Gov

Latham is an unexceptionabIs man, well quail

probabilities are that he will be elected

SlanderOus

Already the opposition press have commenced
their usual depreciations of the Democratic
Nominees The S. F. Nescs says Latham is
Q humbug," and the Marysville Democrat says
he is a time-server" Other equally severe
,aings are said of him and the other nominees.
The mcst ungenerous, uncourteous, and dis
graceful thing, however, that we have seen re-
iative to any one of the nominees, is the follow
ing from the Sacramento Bee:
j. c. Burch, of Trinity, late of Missouri is the
candidate from the Northern District for Con-
gress. He was in 1851 elected from that county
to the Assembly, and in 1858 was chosen from
Humboldt and Trinity to the State Senate. He
is man of no ability, either as a thinker, wri-
fer or debator. He cannot utter halfa dozen
sentences according to Lindley Murray, and
;numbles his words so that it is difficult to un-
qerstand his language When he speaks, one
you'd think that his mouth were stuffed with
cotton, and that he was tearing his lungs TO
force the sound through in broken doses Au-
tomatonical as some of our Congressman have
been, he is the greatest stick ever offered by a
public body as the Representative of an :ntelli-
gent people. We don't know a delegate in that
Convention, saye only three, who is not as fit for
Congress as is Burch.
TT FoR TAT.-The Anti i-Lecompton paper
sometimcs,-and, it must be confessed, with
reason,-complain of the coarse and abusive
personal articles which are written against Mr..
Broderick. As long, however, as the opposition
produce such articles as this, which we copy
from the S. F. Ne,cs, they cannot with justice
ramplain of anything which a Democratic editor
may write:
The telegraph informs US that the Lecompton
State Convention, in the multitude of its wis
dom, has nominated Milton Shakespeare Latham
for Governor, who is, probably, for a young
man, one of the most unreliable and unworthy
politicians in theState. A Chdrlutqn in all thai
pertains 10 a schoolman, an migrate in all thai
pertains to the obligations of friendship,san un-
scrupulous wire -puller and trader in all thai
belongs to the politician, he is "pitted by the
Lecomptonites for the gubernatcra office a.
gainst a gentleman John Gurreyy whose high
character is impregnable and without stain"
Does any sensible man really suppose that
such denunciation Injuries the political prospects
of Mr.. Latham? If so. we pity his ignorance
