EN- DopGE has at last been shamed

EE~ DoDGE has at last been shamed
into meeting Mr.. LAKEWOOD, and their

cussion by the friends of the respective
candidates. The Democrats assert thai

successful. We hope we shall have an
opportunity Of judging of their respect

To Our Subscribers.

EF We have now published fifty
numbers of the +" Guardian," since our
removal to this place, and of course
those persons whose subscriptions COM
menced with the first number published
here will know that the year for which
they have subscribed has expired. We
confidently expect that these subscrip-
tions will be renewed, because we know
that as far as paper of the unpretentious
character of our own can meet the gem
eral wishes Of the people, ours has done
so. We have no promises to make as to
the future. What the paper has been
heretofore it will be hereafter, so long as
we conduct it-anxious, first, for the
welfare of the county, and, secondly. for
the furtherance of the Republican cause
In these interests we should be glad to
be able to enlarge our sheet, and give it
more attention, editorially. than with our
present support, and consequent increase
Of duties, we are now able to do
Still, We have no particular complaint to
make. Notwithstanding the hard times.
the Guardian has more than paid cxpen-
ses-though, of course. run with the
greatest economy-and from the many
favorable expressions relative to the quail
lily Of the paper. which we have heard,
we know well that when times improve
we can confidently rely upon generous
encouragement We certainly shall do
our best to deserve it.
We should like. however, to see our
paper much more largely circulated now
throughout the county than it is. A
very important election is shortly to
come off, and success for us is always
surer by the enlightenment Of the peo-
Pile. 1t therefore behooves Republicans
10 scatter documents and circulate papers.
AS our local contest will also be animated,
interesting and important, the greatest
effect can manifestly be reached by the
circulation of the local papers. For this
reason we ask the efforts of the Repub-
licans of Buchanan County in behalf of
the Guardian We have not the time to
canvass for ourselves, and we know it is
entirely unnecessary, if our friends will
take little interest in the matter. We
know it has not been hard work even in
these hard times, to circulate our paper,
whcr the effort has been made, and we
feel Perlssetly assured that if each sub !
scriber will simply bring the subject to
the attention Of their peighbors. our cir.
cnation can be more Than doubled, and
the interests of the Republican cause in
The County advanced. We will take
all kinds OF produce in payment for sub
scr'pt'op, and take subscriptions for three
and sly months at the same rates ss for
= year. This will put the paper within
the reach ofeyery one in the county, du-

re By the Nova Scotian, from Liv-
erpool on the 9th ult., we have four
days later news from Europe, which,
however, is unimportant. t.b,. ....l
The conference at Zurich had not yet
met. There is talk Of confederation of
Italian States, with the presidency nom
inally given to the pope, but in reality to
the Kings of Sardinia and Naples The
French army had begun to- leave Italy.
A congress of European powers is talked
of, and England has agreed to send a
representative if France would disarm,
which France has consented to do If
England will follow suit. GARIBALDI has
12, 200 men and will move to the Appe
mines. He expresses confidence in VIC
TOR EMANUEL. Florence has formally
expressed desire to be annexed to the
Kingdom of Sardinia. The Pope has
issued a circular complaining bitterly Of
the King of Sardinia, and asking the as
sistance and protection of foreign govern
ments. A great number of addresses
were being signed in Romagno against
the return of the clerical government,
and in favor of the union with Sardinia.
Breadstuffs were advancing, though the
weather continued favorable for crops.

Popular Sovereignty

EE- The Dubuque Northeast has a
four column article its last issue, show.
ing that Popular Sovereignty, as always
authoratively interpre ted by Democrats,
means nothing more than the right Of
the people of a territory, when framing
State Constitution, to establish or pro-
hibit Slavery. 1t argues that this was
the doctrine of the platform of 1856 and
of the Kansas Nebraska Bill, and also
shows that when the latter was up fol
consideration in the Senate, and Mr.
CHASE, of Ohio, offered an amendment
giving to the people of the Territories,
while in the territorial condition, the
right to legislate upon this subject. ev-
cry Democrat in the Senate with the ex-
ception of two, voted against the amend
ment, Mr.. DOUGLAS going with them -
The Northwest calls the rendering adopt
ed by the Douglasites, and by the Con-
vention at Des Moines, an Interpolation,
having no authority whatever. It sup
ports DODGE, however, because it knows
that he stands with the Administration
and the South. and not upon the plat.
form manufactured at Des Moines. Truly
a nice party, that finds it necessary tc
adopt a platform that its candidates repu-
diate--that is compelled to give to one
section of the party the candidates, and
to the other the platform. ad

No DEMOCRACY At THE NoRTH.-
While our Democratic papers are fling
ing about such terms as sectionalism,
unfaithfulness to the South &c, it
would be well for them to see how they
are spoken of by their Southern contem-
poraries. To illustrate, we take the fol-
lowing editorial extracts from 8 recent
copy of the Charleston IS. c. Asr-
eVry:
If the Charleston Convention shall
meet, it is now clear that it viii be-, in its
practical aspects, nothing but Southern
Convention. There is 10 Democratic
party in the Northern or Northwestern
States able to give single vote to a
Democratic nominee on Democratic prin-
ciples. Indeed, in principles it canno,
properly be said that there is any Dem
ocratic party Of the North at all.
The Northern portion Of the party, ~
der the steady progress Of secuonalism in
the Northern States, have gradually sur.
rendered the principles of the Democratic
party and lost their nationality. Thg
