ReSS- In the debate here, last week, Gen. Quarles
defined his position on the Territorial question by
saying that he would vote the admission of no Ter
ritory until it had population sufficient to entitle
it. under the apportonment BILL to Representative
in Congress- nor until with that ratio of population
it presents Constitution fairly embodying the will
Of the majority. These conditions fulfilled he would
vote for its admission with, or without slavery,
the case may be. Gen. Quarles took this position
in q manner SO emphatic, and clearly indicating
wish to call out his opponent on the same point
that we confidently expected to hear the doctor de-
fine his position; but he was mum-not a word had
he 10 say on the subject And right here, we
ask every voter in the District how he reconcile
It to his conscience-to his of duty to vote for
any man who refuses to give his views upon ques-
ton which must come up before him if electedl We
would vote for no man, Of any party, who conceal
ed his honest opinions upon subject german to bis
position as a Represeniative-taking it for granted
that there is always something wrong where there
is such concealment. Show us the man who ''won't
come out and we win show you a man it won't
do to trust Gov. Harris win not define his posi-
ton the currency; lac has a reason for it, that
will not square with straight forward honesty, and
no honest man ought to trust hinl--no honest man.
unless blinded by party prejudice, will trust him..
So of every other question in which the public have
direct interest. On the currency question, demo
cracy is split on the territorial question, democracy
/ is split. Gov Harris viii not define himself on The
former for fear of losing votes and for that reason
should loose all. We hope DIR. Menees viii taxi
the hint, and let the people know his views on thu
territorial question It viii come up in the mex
Congress and the people have right to know wha
their Representative win do.

BGag" DR.. Menees exultingly proclaimed in his
speech here, that the Opposition defeated the Lee
compton Constitution, and thus kept a slave State
out of the Union. But when Gen. Quarles remind
ed him that the democrats had majority, in both
houses and full power TO have admitted Kansas
under the Lecompton Constitution, and having the
power, and failing to exercise it, were alone re-
ponSible for the failure of the measure the doctor
hadn't word to say. The truth COMPOUNDED him,
and whilst he did not admit the truth, he had no
defence to make against its empowering force
And here, would like to ask the doctor to ex-
plain in his next speech, what good it does the
country to place the Government in the hands OF
the democrats if they suffer the Republicans to adj
minister it The majority is responsible for every
act of an Administration, and can not shirk that
responsibility by saying that a minority party de-
tcated measure which the majority could have
carried. Ii the democrats had done their duty-as
Dr. Mences conStrucS it--kans,iS would now have
been a slave State; but having failed to do theiI
duty it is as unmanly it. is unjust to lay the
blame elsewhere. The democrats were elected I,
pass Lccompton, if they could the Republicans tC
drtcat it, it they could. The democrats had tn,
power, but failed to use it. That is ALL and The
doctor can't make more or less Of the question.

10 make it no issue in this canvass Col Netherland

upon it about an hour, Gen. Quarlcs gives a mere
passing notice-deprccatin its agitation as raught
with evil to the social stItls Of the country, and
danger to the Union, whilst DR., Menees makes it The
issue of the canvass. The truth is if this question
were excluded from debate the democrats couldn't
make a speech rs long as their finger They dare
not meet the charges against them, and all this cry
about "niggcr' is a rIse to keep the people from
looking into their msdeeds, Speak Of the Presidents
