for the sake of opposition finds favor with none
but those who are governed by prejudice rather

freemen to vote for their principles by voting for

hoary and unreasonable prejudice alone for the

WHAT HAS CHANGED you so I'VE have al
witnessed with nstonishmeut the extraordinary
and improved change in many gentleman and
lady, who had become prematurely gray, but
who, by some means had been miraculously re-
juvenated. There is a time in life when gray
hairs seem to harmonize with the furrowed brow
and the wrinkled features, but unfortunately
from some cause OF other, thousands of young
men and women not only witness the gradual
change of their locks to "mottel and speckled
gray" but are mortified by the danger Of posi-
tive badness from the actual loss of their hair

SoUATTER SOVEREIGNTY AN ITEM OF
History The illinois State journal says
the doctrine of Squatter Sovereignty as now
advocated by Douglas and his adherents
was first broached in an address before the
Legislature of the Northwest Territory, by
Gen. Arthur St. Clair, the then Governor
as follows
"For all internal affairs we have com
plete Legislature of our own, and they are
no more bound by an act of Congress than
by an edict of the First Counsul of France" "
What did the Democrats of that day
think Of it2 Jefferson was President, and
James Madison, the father of the Constitu.
ton, his Secretary of State. When this
clause of St. Clair's speech was shown to
Jefferson and his Cabinet, what did they do Z
They addressed Mr.. st. Clair the following
significant document:
"SIR: The President observing in an ad.
dress lately delivered by you to the Convention

CARDINAL DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES ON
THE SLAVERY QUESTION.


Absolute non interference by the Genera
Government, to introduce or to exclude
slaves, in any Of the Territories of thu
Union.
No Federal Slave Code. No Congress
sional discrimination in favor of slave prop
erty in the Territories, and no Congressional
discrimination against it.
Whenever III any Of the Territories the
safety of slave persons or of slave prop.
erty, or the right or safety of any descrip-
tion of persons or property is unconstitu-
tiondlly assailed, it is the power and duty Of
Congress, not less than of any and every
other Department of the General Govern
ment, to exercise its proper functions, for
the security of equal protection to the
rights and safety of every species of persons
and property.
The full and unimpaired right of popular
sovereignty, emitting the people of each
Territory, on application for their admission
as new State in the Union, to enact their
own State Constitution, by fair and full
reference to popular vote, without force,
fraud or Federal dictiou, and by such Con-
stitution to provide for the maintenance or
the prohibition of the institution of slavery,
as to them may seem best.
