Dourlaa ~, Douglas nm Tho Power OF
Congress I'm tho Territories.
The .na,u object Douglas had in view, in his
recent elaborate essay, was 10 convince people
that Tcrritorics possessed as much sovereign
power as STATES that they derircd no aathuri.
IT, from Congress TO enable them To- lrgislats
upon any mater wAAever., But these positions
urc in manifest conflict viii tic doctrines be
preached in Congress last winter. In his asI
Of February speech in the Scnate lie sa;d:

perior to the Constitution. hold tlat no such

In the aboye extract from his speech, tic
power Of Congress to legislatc for the Terri.

make it; and not only upon the subject of slav-
cry but upon all other questions "I hold"
says he, "that no such thing rs sovereign

above, comedies with the ground held by the
Republicans. The powers that Territory mny
exercise, according to this admission Of Doug

them. He made this speech when The eyes OF
the Democratic Senators we're upon him, hut
during the adjournment and since he has taken
to writing for tue HarpeEs and Bonnezs ia com,

has started new theory, or rather gathered mp

cKy. yoUvG,s LETTER.

The letter Of Gen. Ogilvie Byron Young, Of
Cane Girsracap, Mo-, 10 Judge Douglas, u
which ne made brief mention yesterday, will
be tonud in unother column. It has been Tor
some time in private circulation among the
friends Of Mr. Douglas in Missouri, but las
jus. found its way into print. rs revealing
the spirit Of tie Douglas Wing Of the Dem
ocracy-their covert purpose either to rule tho
Charleston Convention or bolt its noulina-
1ions-it is probable t1lat it was not the. intcn~
ton Of the writer or Of Mr.. Douglas to make
it public prior to the meeting Of that body. in
any event it will command tho distinguished
consideration Of leading politicians Among
the 1aunr literary curiositics Of tlis trying
time with tie Democracy, Gen. Youns's pro-
1uac;an,ento will rink second only to the
Wisc-Donnclly letter. Whether its effect
will be to create the "wildcst diastoIes %!

among the Democracy, will probably depend

appointed aud controlled By the President of
acts of the Legislature Of Kansas 4 Governor,
appointed and controlled by the British crown,
had the power to veto the nets Of the Virginia
Legislature. So far the parallel is complete
But ID the history Of their wrongs the parallel
does not hold good.
The people Of Virginia elected their Legisla-
turc, and the Legislature thus elected passed 4
Law prohibiting the African Stare Trade. The
British King caused it to be vetoed. The peo-
pie complained that the veto power had been
improperly exercised, because the African
Slave Trade was trade OF great inalumanitv,
and ought to be prohibited. Their complaints
were UNDECIDED, and for this and other abuses Of
power they rebel1ed, and their rebellion was
and is called patriotism.
The people Of Kansas were not permitted 10
elect their Legislature but the people Of bor-
der State drore them from the polls and elected
Legislature for them That Legislature, thus
elected, established siayery in the Territory,
aud proposed ly pretended laws to punish any
person in The Territory By cruel and unusual
punishments, who shonldI deny the existence
Of slarery in The Territory. The people
Of The Territory complained to the Federal
Government that, their rights had been
forcibly usurped, and that they h4d been sub
jugatcd. They were told that they must sub
nit to the ususpation. Being thu. abandoned
| By the parent government to the tender uercies
| Of the usurpers, and deluded BY the stump
speech in the "l<ly Of the Kansss-Sebraska
| act," they undertook 10 regulate their domestic
affairs in their own way, and were told by the
| Administration and by Senator Douglas that
they were guilty of treason in undertaking to
manage their own anairs in their own esy-uot
because their own way was opposite to the Con-
stitution Of the United States, but because it
WIS against the Kansas-Sebraska act.

The CUb;, Bill..-Tcst Vote i'm the
Senate.

Ourleaders have been already apprized tina
the Senate was in session, last Friday night
on Mr.. Slidell's proposition to entrust Mr.
Buchanan with purse of $50, 100000, to be
expended nobody knows how, in the acqui-
sition of Cuba.
Mr.. Brown moved to lay the bill on the
table as test vote, stating at the same time
that he would vote against his own motion.
The test vote was then taken, and the motion
was lost, by Is yeas, and 80 nays.

Mr. Davis paired off with Mr.. Dixon Mr.
Collamer with Mr.. Wright.
It will be seen that all the Democrats agree
as one man on this fillibustcring, money
wasting scheme Of purchasing Cuba, and all
the Opposition are opposed to it. The next
day, however. Mr.. Slidell declared that he
would make no further attempt to bring up
the bill for consideration. Notwithstanding
the above vote exhibits sufficient strength to
carry this Infamous measure through Con-
gress, there are indications that it will fail at

Pixies Peak.

A letter from Mr.. David Kellogg. who
writes from the vicinity of the reported gold
fields, says, in speaking of the reports in
circulation here:
Some of the new comers say that they
are exhibiting in st. Louis Jumps OF gold
weighing three ounces. Now, there is shen-
amigan going on; this thing is done 10y
spectators in town property, out here, and
on the border, and should be denied by all
the papers. 1t never was found in such
Jumps within thousand miles of Pixies
Peak, and the originators of such stories, to
advance their own private ends, should be
ly,sched and the emigrants who come here
next spring, will, if they find out the orr
ginators of these stories, do this thing
These Jumps, if indeed they have been ex-
hibited, were made by melting the dust,
either in Kansas City Or ST. Louis; it Tins
be assured. do not wish one of my friends
fooled by what they see in any of the pa
pers in St. Louis, Kansas City, or any other
border town, for from what | can learn,
these rapers contaiu not word OF truth"
The Kansas City Journal of Commerce
says that great many of the stories told
by border papers concerning gold found in
the Pixies Peak region are the result of i'm
position upon the editors, and instances one,
wherein the Leavenworth Times speaks OF
a nugget which had just been exhibited to
the editor, as having been found near the
mouth of Cherry Creek, of the value of SIS,
the nugget having been actually found in
California several years ago. A Agreat many
such articles will be discovered, in due
time, by the crowd bound for the Peak, to
have been employed for their special delu-
sion.

The MT. Vernon Fund.

| The patriotic movement on the part of the
ladies of this nation to purchase and keep in
creditable repair the tomb of Washington has
elected, as it ought, the warmest sympathy
and material aid'' of the ''lords of creation" ;"
We are glad to know that Iowa is not behind
in this. noble work. Mrs Van Antwerp, the
estimable lady whom the Association
appointed Vice Regent for this State, writes
to the Keokuk Journul that the amount
received by her from Iowa up to 18th inst.
was $S3o,26, which she expected would be
swelled to a thousand dollars before the close
of that week. She returns thanks to the press
of the State for their efficient aid in the cause,
and copies approvingly an article on the sub
ject which appeared in this paper some weeks
ago. We make the following extract from
her communication
In reference to the condition of the general
fund, (for the whole Union,) | extract the
following from the monthly Report of the
Secretary of the Ladies' Association of the
Union, under date of January 7th She says
"Mr. Washington has now received $S5 900
of the purchase fund; the ST., 900 mentioned
in the last report, as yielding over six per
cent interest, still remains untouched; besides
which are sums collected in various States
that have not yet been transferred to the
Regent or the Treasurer.
"On reviewing the events of the past year,
the association cannot but feel tkat it has
abundant cause for congratulation. The
country was suffering severely under a
financial crisis,
* x
and in the short space of nine months since
the signing of the contract, under all the dis
advantages of the summer months, sixteen
States, in addition to those already at work,
have been enlisted; $s5, 900 have been paid !;
and the moral sympathy of the people iii this
great NATIONAL enterprise has been, in a
remarkable degree, developed in almost every
part of the Union."
Over 100000, as is seen from the above,
had been already collected, on the 7th of JAN
uary. The instalmcnt due on the 22d of the
present month was paid in advance, early in
December; and the amount of funds now in
hand is doubtless more than sufficient to meet
that which will not become due until gear
hence, to wit, s4l l,G6G But, the great object
of the Ladies' Association is to pay off the
whole amount just as soon as possible, for the
double purpose of getting possession of the
property, and rid Of the interest money!,
together with the present proprietor.
