A Southern view 81 the Ohio Elec.
laOM.

From the Louisville Courier, Democratic1
Up to the time that Douglas visited Ohio,
the prospects OF the Democrats for signal
triumph were never more brilliant. Tbs
friends of Douglas saw this, and concluded
that it would be an admirable stroke of poll
cy to invite him to Ohio to deliver addresses,
90 that if the Democrats succeedsd, - they
confidently believed they would, it would be
ally aid his prospects ct Charleston.
But Douglas managed the canvass badly
in Ohio. He discussed his hobby of squat
ter sovereignty, and, instead OF endeavoring
to unite the party, made the most violent as
saults on prominent member Of the Admins
tration. Indeed, during the last few weeks
the canvass had taken such direction, that
q Democratic victory 10 the State would have
been everywhere regarded % purely Doug
las triumph. This was, OF course, oalcula-
ted TO dampen the ardor Of the Administers
ton Democracy, who we're by no means die
posed to play into the hands Of Douglas and
his friends.
The Democracy in Ohio, IS in Maine
made the dogma OF squatter sovereignty q
leading issue, and what have they gained
Do not the results in both these States show
that the Democracy have everything to LOSE
and nothing to gain by advocating doctrines
which are practically ssshort outs to the ends
Of Black Republioanism."
The attempt TO oltein success in Ohio b.
advocating semi -ab6.kio dogmss has Sig.
nally failed. The lesson which this result
teaches should not be disregarded by th,
Democracy in the other Northern Ststes.-
The only way in which to combat and conquer
abolitionism is to fight con the square,"
| The result OF the Ohio election 10 quiet
ne to Douglas and his hsresies.

The EA1aAsA Din - - TEaAA On.
The Democracy nsds one great step TO-
ward the universal extension OF slavery BY the
repeal Of the Missouri Compromiss in 1854.
In ~ bill u which Nat olasss wAs - chief
end and aim the Territory Of Kansas was or
ganissd, with the declaration that the people
were to be permitted 10 regulate their own
affairs in their own way.
The Border Rufians however subsequently,
intsysensd and elected Lsgislstsre for the
Territory, which enacted : code Of laws 90.
tablishing slavery and punishing any person
who should speak or write against it, and the
President interviewed with the army Of the
United Ltatss to enforce thase laws.
The people Of Kansas, then in the exercise
of the conceded right to regulate their Affairs
in their own way, formed what was known -
the Topeka Constitution and presented il 70
Congress, which body treated il with con-
tempt, and lsetured the KansAs people for
their audacity in thus presuming to regulate
their own Affairs In their own way. Then
Congress intsrvsaed again and passed an act
suthorising tho people to form . Oonstitu-
tioD, and portion Of the people went ahead,
with the aid Of their Missouri friends, and
elected delegates who formed Constitution
for the paople, but gave them no chance to
vote upon it. This Was the Lsoompton Con-
stitution, in favor Of which the Federal Ad.
ministrstion again intervsmsd, and exsrted
oil its influence to induce Congress to impos,
1t on the people Of Kansas in spite Of til.
almost unanimous protest OF the oitixsns Of
that Territory. This bill, however, was de.
feated, and instead Of the compulsory LIE.
compton bill, . corrupt, persuasive bribery
bin, under the name Of the English bill, wa,
pressed through Congress. But the peopl,
of Kansas rejected both the Constitution and
the bride.
And now, once again, notwithstanding thai
clause Of the English bill which declares thai
census must be taken a. preliminary step
to the calling Of Constitutional Convention
and that no suoh Convention shall be held
till the Territory 10 ascertained to have I
population OF $4,000 inhabitants, the peopl,
of Kansas have proceeded TO regulate thei
own Affairs in their own way by framing .
Constitution and adopting it by vote Of tn,
people.
Kansas will apply at the next session Of
Congress for admission, and We shall 90,
whether the Democracy Of the North dar,
stand by their English bill, or whether the,
will not at last, under the pressure Of Re-
publican sentiment, admit Kansas "a State
and thereby make the humiliating acknowl
edgement that they have been wrong on .hi
subject all the time.

Greas Fire IN Cous,ansinepie.

Constantinople journals Of the l4th Of
September state that dreadful FIRE had de-
stroyed upwards of 1000 houses in the Turk
ish capital. 1t broke out in the quarter Of
Eass- Keni, built like an amphitheatre, on
the side Of bill, and inhabited BY $4,000
Jews, and from the hoosos being Of wood,
the flames spread with the most frightful r.
pidity, and 10 . very short time upwards Of
60 habitatiens were destroyed.
The fire was then, most persons thought,
got under, but on the next day it again burst
out afresh, and very nearly 1000 houses
more were reduced to ashes, The inhabi.
tants were seen running half naked through
the streets seeking shelter, and more than
600 families who lost oil they possessed are
enoamped on the hill. The Sultan ordered .
number Of military tents to afford them tenn
porary shelter.

Meanness OF the Douglas Parasites.
Horace Greeley applied to the Harpers to
publish an answer to be written by him to
the Douglas Squatter Sovereignty article in
that Periodical. They declined to publish
Greeley's article, but said they might publish
an article from leading Republican.
The low flung doughfaces couple an in
suit with their pusillanimous and bigoted
refusal Of fair play. Where is there more
leading Republican than Horace Greeley ~
writer Of political articles and defender
Of the faith of the Republican party? Doug
las himself is not as widely and favorably
known as Horace Greeley, and has had moth.
ing like his influence in moulding the ssnti-
ments Of the people Of this country.
Douglas 10 brandy drinking, rabble-
rousing Locofoco doughface politician, and
the Harpers, conservative, money making
doughfaces, pander to the baser instincts Of
dominant party, at the sacrifice Of every
principle OF fairness and every sentiment Of
courtesy, not to say decenoy.
Let the friends Of freedom and fair deal
ing make note Of this, and oall the propri
etors Of Harper's Magasine to sccount 70

conduct in the premises.

The slave IRA de.

Among many other unpardonable sins
that the present corrupt dynasty at Wash
ington has been guilty of, is its completely
in the re-opening Of the African slave
trade. This unholy traffic had been stop
ped for many years ; severe penalties were
enacted against those who should engage
in it; and right-feeiing men fondly cher
ished the hope that it would never again
be tolerated. Time, however, has wrought
a change. Since Slavery has become ma
tional, and Freedom sectional, the demand
for Slave labor has so rapidly increased,
that Virginia and other slave-breedine
States have failed to supply the market
Accordingly, Off we may credit the estimate
Of Senator Douglas,) there have been no
less than 1900 native Africans landed
on our Southern shores during the past
year. Think of this, reader, for min
ute. Who ever heard of such whole
sale kidnapping? Remember, too, it is
done right i'll the very teeth of the most
stringent penalties against it.
Why is it that stop is not put to this
infamous traffic "a traffic condemned
alike by the laws of God and man. Why
is it that the barbarous scoundrels engaged
in carrying it on are not brought to pun
ishment? The answer is plain. The ad-
ministration does not do its duty. The
oath that ''the laws be faithfully observed"
has been violated; and the President and
his satellites wink at the trespass. "Oh,
Shame where is thy blush 90

Pennsylvania - Her EavOrite
son.

Political parties have always looked with
much solicitude during presidential con-
tests upon the old 'Keystone State" In
deed it has long since passed into sayin q,
that, ''as goes Pennsylvania, so goes the
Union" 1t must be admitted that she
has often decided the fates of men and that
she has often made Presidents for the People
OF the United States. But somehow or
other, she never furnished the material to
make President out of, until the year
1886. Other states in the confederacv
had been distinguished in that particular.
For instance, Virginia had furnished so
many chief executives for the nation, that
she long ago acquired for herself the title
of the ''mother of Presidents" Perhaps
Virginia, and other states that we might
mention, have been more true to their
own interests than Pennsylvania, and very
likely they have taken much more live
ly interest in the welfare and advancement
of their sons. We do not doubt that such
has been the case nor do we wish to be
understood as condemning that policy
In confederaey like our own, formed as
it is of states whose interests as such are
not identical, it is but natural and reason
able that each state should feel desire to
have selected from its limits, head for
the general government, AS a general

BLACK VS.. Douglas.

Since the appearance of an article of
thirty-eight columns in Harper's Weekly,
on Popular Sovereignty-one Of Pcnnsyl-
vania's illustrious BIS vs.. Douglas-we
notice that number of the faithful are
disposed to drop the ''little giant" and
return to the fold. We regard both as a
bid for the Presidency, and would advise
all real friends of Freedom and Free La
Dor to enlist in the ranks Of the Peoples
Party. Black takes the ground that Sla-
very exists in the territories, and can only
be abolished by local Legislation after such
territories have been admitted into the
Union as States. Douglas, on the other
hand, takes the position that Slavery may
be exterminated by Territorial legislation.
The Peoples Party differs from both, and
says that Slavery cannot legally exist at
all in the territories Of the United States
The result is, that Black and Douglas are
both wrong, and the Peoples Party is
right
