The Electoral Ticket.

In the call of the Central Committee
for the State Convention, it is proposed that
the Electoral Ticket be made in the State
Convention at Columbus, taking it entirely
out Of the hands of the people to whom
alone this power belongs, and allowing a
few men at Columbus to regulate the mat
ter as shall suit them. We are opposed to
this plan Of doing business, and we also be-
lisVe the people of the District are opposed
to it. Just as properly might the State
Convention decide to nominate the candi-
dates for Congress in the several districts,
as to decide who shall be placed on the
Electoral ticket. II is to be hoped that
each county, when they appoint delegates
70 Columbus, will instruct them to vote
against this usurpation of power that the
State Committee have assumed to take into
their hands. The several districts alone
have the right to choose their electors, and
We trust they win demand it.

The Great Tornado.

CHICAGO, June B.
From telegraphic messages received last
night and this morning we learn the follow
ing PARTICULARS: The tornado Sunday even
ing when first heard Of, was between Mari
on and Cedar Rapids in Linn Co., going
northwest to southeast in three different
veins crossing the track of the Chicago,
Iowa and Nebraska Railroad several times.
AT Lisbon station, depot buildings, all the
warehouses in the village we're completely
demolished. A train of ten freight cars
heavily loaded, was lifted bodily from the
track and dashed to pieces before reaching
here. We learn that sixteen persons were
killed.
From this point one vein of the storm
passed north to Mechanicsvlle, demolisbing
everything in its course and killing ls per-
sons. The rest took in its course Union
Grove, killing in this vicinity seventeen per-
sons; passed south of the Railroad near
Dewitt, killing twenty-seven persons, sixteen
of them belonging to the family of Thorn
as Hatfield. 1t then passed south of Ro-
MESA destroying the house of D. Millard,
killing him and portion of his family
It then struck the town of Camanche on the
Mississippi, at which point the loss of life
is much greater than first stated. From all
accounts it cannot be less than fifty-fve
killed. Some reports state still larger
number, but the bodies cannot be found
There are 1875 wounded, some fatally, 10
missing.
A large lumber raft from Chippewa
River, manned by crew of twenty-four
men, having two women on board, tied up
opposite Camanche. The timber was com
pletely scattered and twenty-one men and
both women lost.
Six persons, the family of H. Sessions,
proprietor Of the Millard House, were bad
ly injured.
The tornado is known TO have traversed
distance Of ninety miles in Iowa and sew
enty miles in Illinois, doing an incalculable
amount of damage to property. The loss
of life cannot be less than one hundred and
fifty. During the entire day yesterday two
trains ran every hour from Clinton to the
scene of desolation. Through the aid Of
efficient committees much relief was rem
dered.

The Effect OF squntter sovereiaDty.


In Mr.. Douglas speech in the Senate,
delivered May 18th, 1860, he gave a sketch
Of the workings of his pet measuro--in re-
ply to Davis, of Mississippi-in the follow
ing words:
Now what has been the RESULT NY
views were Incorporated into the comprom-
ise measures of 1850, and hiswere rejected.
Has the South been excluded from all the
territory acquirek from Mexicoi What
says the bill from the House of Represen-
tatives, now on your table, repeating the
slave code in New Mexico established by
the people themselvesl II is part of the
history of the country, that under Mis doc
trine of non-intervention, this doctrine that
you delight TO call sgtatter sovereignty, the
people of New Merico haze introduced
and protected slavery IN the l0hole of that
Territory. Under this doctrine they have
converted tract of free territory, more
than fVe times the size of the State of
New York Under this doctrine, slavery
has been ertended from the Rio Grande to
the Gulf of California, and from the line
of tie Republic of Merico, not only up to
SO deg. 80 min, bit up to 38o-giUiag you
degree and half more sldve territory
than you ever claimed. In 1s49, l849
and 1850 you only asked to have the line
of $50 30.' The Nashville Convention
fixed that as its ultimatum. / offered it in
the Senate in August, ls4s, and it was
adopted here, but rejected in the House of
Representatives. You asked only up to SO
deg. 80 min, and non-interVention has giv-
en- goa slave territory up to 9s deg, de-
gree and a half more than yoW asked, and
yet you say that this is sacrifice of South
ern rights.
These are the fruits of this principle
which the Senator from Mississippi regards
as hostile to the rights of the South
Where did you ever get any other fruits
that were more palatable to your taste or
moro refreshing to your strength? What
other inch Of free territory has been con-
verted into slave territory on the american
continent, since the revolution, except IN
New Merico and Arizona, under the prin-
ciple of tnon-intervention affirmed at Charles
ton9
Thus, by the Senator's own showing, his
scheme of Popular Sovereignty has accom-
plished more for the South in the way of
converting free territory into slave territory
than any other measure ever attempted
since the formation of government. Ithas,
in short, as his own words show:
1st. introduced and protected slavery in
the territory of New Mexico;
I'd. Converted tract of country more
than five times the size of the State of New
York, from free territory into slave territory /;
Sd. Extended slavery from the Rio
Grande to the Gulf of California, and from
the line of Mexico, not only up to 36 deg
80 min, but 3s deg. North latitude, giving
the South degree and half moro Teri
tory than it has ever claimed; and
4th. Given up to slavery for the first
time since the American Revolution, terri
tory that freedom once claimed and occu-
pied.
This, too, is the "Little Dodgers" last
claim, his latest patent, and his freshest bid
for the Presidency!
Freemen of the West! How do you like
the picture ?.-Blade.
