CONGRESSIONAL INTERvENTIoN.---W What
strikes one most forcibly at the present time.
in reviewing the history of the political par
ties of the country, is the change which has
taken place in the opinions of many on the
question of Congressional Intervention. AS
this change is of recent date, and did not
manifest itself until the birth Of the Lecoinp-
ton party, it may be well enough to look
back and see what the position of slavehold-
ing States on this question was ten years ago.
in lS4S, John G. Calhoun in speaking on n
subject then under consideration, namely. the
prohibition of slavery in Oregon, said that
the slaveholding States desired no action of
the Government, and demanded no law to
give them any advantage in the Territory
about to be established, and that they were
willing to leave the whole subject where the
Constitution and the great and fundamental
principles of selfgovernment had placed it
On the contrary, the slaveholding States de-
manded the interposition of Government and
the passage of an act to prevent the citizens
vi ule SluN SHViulH5 DluteS lIOIl eIHlSTdIlnS
with their property into the Territory. He
regarded the difference between the positions
of the two sections of the Union upon this
question as very striking. He said:
Il hold that justice and the Constitution
are the easiest and safest guard on which the
question can be settled, regarded in reference
to party. II may be settled on that ground
simply By mon.action, by leaving the Terri
tories free and open to the emigration of all
the world. If party cannot safely take this
broad and solid position and successfully
maintain it, what other can it take and main
tain 2"
This is the vsry doctrine for ,c1ich Stephen
A. Douglas is nOw cOntending. When John
c. Calhoun uttered the above, he gave it not
only as his political belief, but also as the be-
lief and the doctrine Of the great party of
which he was q leader.

AFFAIR OF Honor AT TMBUCroo-Ye ester
day morning, an affair of this kind came off
at Timbuctoo, between two colored indivi-
duals named respectively Evans and Riley,
alias "Blind Riley" The weapons were
dueling pistols, distance ten PAGES; and the
place a spot near the graveyard -suggestive e
locality! AT the crack of the pistols, both
which went off almost simultaneously, both
seemed greatly astonished to see that neither
one was hit Only one round was exchang.
ed, and the affair was settled The thing
might have ended fatally, had there been any
balls in the pistols, but the seconds had pre-
pared the whole arrangement for farcical
denouement, and the weapons contained
nothing but powder One of the combatants
had been previously dosed with croton oil,
but owing to the excitement of surrounding
circumstances or some other cause, it had no
effect on him. After one fire, the parties
were quite willing to be reconciled, and
peaceably left the ground, infinite amuse.
ment having been afforded to the seconds and
spectators. We obtain the above informa-
tion from Augustus Elliott, Esq, who has
been up in that region.

THE PAVILION At SACRAMENTO The pa
vilion at Sacramento, in which the State Fair
was held, is fine looking building, made of
brick but we hear it reported by visiters Just
from the Fair that the walls are cracked, and
that il is considered very unsafe indeed. We
are told that many persons wondered that,
with the great number of dancers on the
floor, Friday night, serious accident did
not happen. If these reports be true, we
fear that our Sacramento friends have had
all their trouble in holding out inducements,
in the shape of a fine building, for the per-
manent location of the Annual Fair in their
city, for nothing. People would not like to
have their heads smashed, even by the finest
building in the world.

The Douglas Spirit in the South.


Stephen A. Douglas is the choice OF the Dem
ocratic Party for President. But, how stands
he in the South? He is the most seriously
damaged by the opposition to his eonstruc-
ton of popular sovereignty in the Territories
on the part of his firm supporter iu the Kan
sas controversy, Henry A. Wise, of Virginia.
Were Wise now exerting his influence for
Douglas instead of against him, the latter's
chance for carrying the majority of the South.
ern States in the Charleston Convention,
would be excellent Even as it is, however,
the Douglas spirit is by no means on the
wane in the South In the late elections
there for State officers and for Congressman,
those Democrats who were in favor of non
Intervention, as laid down by the Illinois
Senator, have succeeded, while those who ad.
yocated a slave code for the Territories have
been defeated This fact is a very significant
one indeed The reelection to Congress, too
of Mr. Gilmer, of North Carolina, who voted
against the Leeompton Constitution, Is con-
elusive as to the sentiments of the people Of
tldL eeCilul. nO ONSA NiANAhiAho 0SiSho VI
the opposition in Kentucky and elsewhere,
who openly contended for Congressional in
tervention with slavery in the Territories. is
proof positive that there is very strong
Douglas Party at this moment in the very
heart of the Southern States. The fact is
that almost all of the late Democratic candi-
dates in that portion of the Union, ran on the
straightout Douglas Platform. Furthermore,
it is we'll known that Sam Houston, just elect.
ed Governor of Texas, fully agreed with
Douglas in his opposition to the Lecompton
Constitution, and only voted for it in the
Senate by compulsion, his State instructing
him to do SO.
Even in this State, now so thoroughly in
the hands of Administration leaders, the Le-
comptonites were compelled to conduct their
late campaign by the most scrupulous care on
the part of majority of the stumpers, against
saying anything derogatory to the political
status of Douglas.
This same reverence among the masses of
the Democracy for the name of Douglas fills
the opposition everywhere throughout the
Union with dread that he will be the nom
inee of the Charleston Convention. They
would rather see any other man within the
United States nominated. They know that
with him at the head Of the Democratic Par
ty, in the contest of 1860, that party would
be invincible; that the South would be a
unit, from policy, and the North nearly the
same from feeling and from principle. The
Republicans in particular are doing all in
their power against him, by endeavoring to
make it appear that he occupies strong South
ern ground and that his sympathies and feel
ings are with the shareholders utterly. BY
impressing this idea upon the minds of the
Northern Democracy, they think they can in
duce them to throw Douglas overheard in
the National Convention, and thus give to
them some candidate like Dickinson, of New
York, whom they can easily beat.
We think the Democratic party will have
too much sound sense to reject the claims Of
Mr.. Douglas in the Charleston Convention.
