result of their Joint eyertions were enl-
bodiod in the bin organizing tho Terrific
fies of Utah and New Mexico, which was
drawn by Mr.. Douglas, and which left the
people free to regulate their own domestic
concerns.
That principle received the sanction of
the American people in two presidential
elections, and the republicans endorsed
il fully and emphalically, on recent oc-
casion in the House Of Representatives.
II is the only principle that harmonizes
with the spirit and genius Of our gov
erment, and the letter of the constitution.
To that principle Mr.. Douglas proposes to
adhere regardless of consequences personal
10 himself, and in recent discussion in
the Senate he challenged his opponents to
point out a single word or act Of his
inconsistent Herewith.
1t has not, or cannot be done. We
are aware that the aspirants for political
honors, with which our country is flooded,
not daring to attack the principle with
which his name is inseparably connected
are laboring to prove that he has aban-
doned the doctrine to which he stand:
pledged before the American people,
Voters of Michigan, they wish TO deceive
you. Ii not, they are loo stupidity igno
rant to fill the positions to which they
aspire.
Upon the history of your country, and
upon every page for the last ten years
you will find his opinions recorded in Ian
guage too plain to be mistaken by the
feeblest comprehension. Study that rec
ord, become familiar with it, and you vii
be enabled TO meet these unprincipled
seekers after place and power, and expose
their sophistries, their glazing misrepre
sensations, their absurd and stupid false
hoods, with disgrace to themselves, anc
destruction to the party to which they
cling for support.

LINcoLN's DEFEAT CERTAIN.-The
Boston Courier, which supports Bell and
Everett, shows conclusiyely that there is
not the slightest prospect of Lincoln. 1t
says:
an order for Mr.. Lincoln TO be elected
he must have 1852 votes-and the North
throws 1881 OF these, it cannot be
doubted that California, Indiana aud New
Jersey must be substracted, which reduces
the number to l59. The Republicanism
of California is insignificant. In 1856 it
threw / 900 for Fremont, partly on per-
sonal grounds, we presume, against TO-
900 opposition. AT the same election,
the Democratic vote in Indiana exceeded
that of Fremont $4,000. 1t appears to
be arranged that the Douglas ticket only
shall be run there by the Democrats.
In Indiana we believe Mr.. Douglas will
have an easy victory. In New Jersey
there is very little specific Rcpublicansm.
The Opposition party, nearly equally di-
vided between Fremont and Fillmore in
1856, then threw together about seven
thousand votes more than the Democracy.
We believe that Mr.. Douglas will take
eleven votes of Illinois. There are the
strongest assurances from that State that
the popular sympathy is with him."

of Lincoln's election and a secession in
some of the Southern States-both of
which events he fcelingly deplored as
they might lead to conflict between the
Federal and some of the State authorities
-hc said with emphasis, "but while I live,
no Federal troops shall march across Vir-
ginia against a Southern State in arms for
the defence Of its sovereign rights and it's
equality in the Union"

who had been very moderate i'll the views
he had expressed, afterwards said to me,

of our leaders, but he differs from Cover
nor Wise in this. that you may always
count upon his acting up TO what he
saws"

MIR. BoYcE's LETTER-Hon. w. W.
Boycc has written strong and pointed
letter advocating the immediate secession
of South Carolina in the event of the
election of q Black Republican to the Pre-
sidency. If Mr.. Boycc's position be an
indication that the Co-opcrationists of
1852 are for secession in this contingency
we hail it with pleasure. Our belief in
the efficacy of separate State action is as
strong as it ever was, proridcd the people
Of the State are rc0dy for it. 1t is consti-
tutional remedy, and safe one With
many others we urged this policy in 1851
and 1852; and we are ready to lift the
banner again if there be reasonable GER
tainty Of South Carolina presenting a uni
ted front. Without unanimity, or at the
least a most decisive majority, there is
danger that any attempt to secede alone
will be worse than vain.
If we mean to do any thing of the sort,
the question should be at once agitatcd
The people should awake to preparation.
1t is but little while before they may
be called upon by their leaders to take
this important step. Are they ready for
It? Men of South Carolina arouse your
selves to thought!
We publish Mr.. Boyce's letter in this
issue, and ask for it the careful attention
of every reader who feel" himself to be
full-grown responsible citizen of South
Carolina. 1t will be remembered that
Col. Orr (another leader of the old Co
operation party) is for action only!h con-
nection with two or more States. Which
plan do you favor? Under which leader
do you enlist? Decide quickly. The oc-
casion (if it comes at alD is close at
