vcntion, to be held at Wyandotte city, X.

vassed the whole Of South Platte and

south of the Platte river are in favor Of
coming into the Union as part Of the
State Of Kansas Oar election took place
at the same time the election was held in
Kansas for delegates, and the returns will
show that there are about SIX to one in IA
vor Of the measure and hence this part OF
the country will be represented in the Kan

tha. they will be received, | have but little

TI.. resident. Organ npon Nr. Douglas
Letter.

Ii, therefore, judge Douglas mean that
the Democratic party will retracc 1T steps
on this subject for the purpose of meeting
his peculiar views. his expeditions will un-
doubtedly be disappointed.
La the closing paragraph Of his letter. he
states that, if it shall become the policy Of
the party to interpolatc into the creed of
the party such new issues as the revival of
the African slave trade, or a Congressional
slave code for the Territories, or the doc
trine that she Constitution of the Inltcd
States either establishes or prohibits Slave
~ in the Territories, beyond the power Of
the people legally TO control 1t as other
property 1t is due to candor 10 say that
in such an event, he could not accept the
nomination if rendered to him"
We regret that he has thought il neces-
sary TO Introduce the subjec. in the form Of
a defiance TO the Convention. II would
have been more becoming 10 have trusted
the Convention on these and other topics
The assertion that, should the Convention
declare that the Constitution Of the United
States either establishes or prohibits Slave
ry in the Territories beyond the power Of
the people legally to control it as other
property, lac would refuse TO permit his
name to be used, amounts to nothing more
than an ambiguous announcement Of the
doctrine which he is understood to have
maintained in Congress and in Illinois,
namely, that the first inhabitants Of Ter
ritory have right by " unfrleudly legisla-
tion" to destroy the rights Of the citizens
Of the slayeholding States, as guaranteed TO
them By the Federal Constitution. We
have observed that this doctrine is opposed
to the decisions Of the Supreme Court and
the doctrine Of the Democratic party, which
Is, that that question can only be determin-
cd when the incipient State forms its Con-
siitution, and seeks admission into the
Union.
These are ou: views with regard to the
contents Of this remarkable letter-remark
able not only for the opinions it enunciates
but FOX the peculiar manner in which it wa:
communicated to the public Ii purport:
to have been written to 4 gentleman in .

FOR the purpose Of being laid before the
American people in all the newspapers. Ii

Of this city. and in number Of other dis
tant papers 10 which it was communicated
by telegraph. 1t was manifestly intended
as public declaration Of Mr.. Douglass
position.
We intend TO acquiesce in the decision
Of the Charleston Convention. and We have
an abiding faith that all tue Democrats
will do likewise But we cannc, find any
single word in Mr. Douglass letter which
indicates single purpose or his part. In
deed. We cannot see how he can support
any other nominee Of the Convention. after
he has declared that he could not himself
accept the nomination.
