The Republicans.

We remarked, few days ago, that thous-
ands of the Republican party as individuals,
would come over to the Douglas, or in other
words, Democratic doctrine of Popular Sove-
reignty in the Territories, in the next Presi'
Dental campaign. The renegades from the
Democracy are awfully Mortified at the idea,
and imagine or pretend to imagine, that the
Republicans and Douglas men are bound TO.
gether 10y the strong ties of fraternal sympa
thy. The silly snipes! let them have their
own notions At the same time, it is well
known, by those who are versed in the po-
itical history of the country, that great
portion Of the Republican party were former
ly Old Line Democrats. who did not agree
with Senator Douglas that Congress had no
power to prohibit slavery in the Territories
and that, consequently, the repeal of the Nil
souri, Compromise was a measure which
should not have been passed. They there
fore abandoned the Democratic party and
joined the Republicans They perceive now
that things are different from what they *
pected-that the Supreme Court of the
United States has settled, or as good as set
tied, the question of the power of Congress
to prohibit slavery in the Territories, and
that the doctrine of Popular Sovereignty in
the States and Territories together has re-
ceived the sanction and confrmatory appro-
baton Of the highest judicial tribunal in the
Union. They left the Democratic party upon
the suPposition that Congress had a right to
prohibit slavery in the Territories. They see
that proposition overthrown. and nothing
remains for them but to return to that party
with which they agreed in all points save
the one mentioned. The question Of doubt
has been settled. There is no further contro-
versy about that, and they now identify
themselves with the party which claimed
their support in former times. Were the
power of Congress still a matter of doubt un
decided by the competent tribunal, they
would be with the Republican party, but the
doctrine of the Democratic party, from which
they dissented, being now decided to he cor
party again.
p. S.-We may add. rs an evidence of the
fact Of many Democrats having gone with
the Republican party on this Chem doubtful
question of Congressional power over the
sui ject of slavery, that even so good Demo
crat as Silas Wright expressed himself in ia.

A Legal Question.

EDIroR Democrat Since there has been
so much discussion with regard to Dun
combes right to his seat in the Assembly and
So many authorities cited by the legal frater-
nity upon the subject,I wish to submit to the
public and especially to the consideration of
lIwyers, the folowing-An Englishman hav-
ing settled in America in the year 1886, there
married, and had son born there in 1888,
and grand son in 1924. The grandfather
took the necessary oaths and ultimately be-
came an American citizen, acted as n mngs
rate there. held landed property there and
died there. Held that the son and grand
son were not precluded by the statutes q

from being considered as British born sub
iects. and that therefore, the grandson as son
Of is father, could claim through the grand
father, and that the children of the grand
father were entitled TO the privileges of Brit.
ism born subjects. This decision was render
