Breaking their Own Platform.

Those who have been hai!ing the ilonlina-
tion of Stephen A. Douglas as the triumph Of
the Popular Sovereignty doctrine within the
party, had better consider the matter awhile
before giving full vent to their enthusiasm
The victory is certainly not the most complete
in degree-the vanqnished having come off
the field with their colors flying quite as gaily
and it is possible that it may prove also
to be very defective in kind. The following
resolution. offered by Mr. Wicklffe of Louis
lama, because he said it would give Douglas
10000 majority in his State. and adopted by
the Convention, should be studied as a part of
the Douglas platform
"Resoiued, That it is in accordance with the
Cincinnati platform, that during the existence
of Territorial Governments The measure of re-
Strfction, whatever it may be, imposed by the
Federal Constitution Oh the power of the Ter
rltorial Legislature over the subject of the do
mestle relations, as the same has been or shall
hereafter be finally determined by the Supreme
Court of the United States, should be respect
ed by all good citizens, and enforced with
promptness and fidelity by epcry branch Of the
General Government
1t is apparent on the least inspection that
Supreme Court plank which was proposed ut
Charleston and rejected by the Convention
1t assumes, at the outset, that there is a amea-
sure of restriction" imposed by the Constitu-
ton on 'the power of the Territorial Legisla-
ture over the subject of the domestic rela-
tions )" whereas, by the clause which Mr..
Douglas put into the Kansas Nebraska bill,
the people of the Territories were left "per-
feetly free to form and regulate their domestic
institutions in their own way" Secondly, it
makes this power of the Territories judicial
question unreservedly. Thirdly, it intimates
that it has already been decided, lin the Dred
Scott case,) or if not, that it yet will be in the
manner foreshadowed in that case And final
~, it pledges every department Of the Govern
ment to enforce that decision-that is, not on
ly the executive to see that the DEGREES of the
court are complied with, but Congress to sup
ply the new legislation which may be render
ed necessary. Now, when Il Douglas man has
consented to all these points-in order to get
10000 new recruits in Iouisiana-wh he will
doubtless have good time in getting--what
becomes of his old Popular Sovereignty dog
ma And yet this serpentine resolution the
Douglas party took into their bosom to warm,
in an evil hour, but the sting cannot be es-

Desperate Tragedy in Administrative
Men Murdered

From the Mognoian (Ark.) of the 18th
inst. we clip the following account Of Il TRACE
dy which proved fatal to two persons
A bloody and dreadful affair occurred al
Falcon, in this county, last Saturday, which re-
suited in the death of two men. +. c. Nc
Kinney had separated from his wife and sued
for a divorce. B. b. Malone a relative of Mrs
Mex Kinney, met and had an interview with Nc
Kinney on the day alluded to, which enGed by
Malone abusing Mckinney with very violent
and insulting language. Malone at tins time
was armed and Mckinney was not Sub$e-
quently Mckinney armed himself and went
out on the street, and crowed like a cock
Malone Immediately went to where Mckinney
was standing, armed with navy six-shooter
and recommended his abuse Of Mex inncy.
Mckinney drew small Colts repeater with
one hand, and i'll the other graspcd two-edg-
cd dagger, and retortcd Malonc's abusive Ian
guage. Malone rushed at Mckinney. Me
Kinney fired at him, hitting him in the thigh
They then grappled in the death struggle
Malone clubbed his pistol aid struck Mckin-
ney with the butt Oh the lead, the pistol flying
from his grasp. Mckinney in the meantime
had inflicted several fatal stabs in the side of
Malone with his dagger. Just at this tima
brother of Malone came up, and, catching the
pistol which was lying upon the ground. frcd
at Mckinney, striking him in the back, about
two inches to the left of the spinal column, and
jnst below the shoulder r-bladc the ball ranging
upfard. Mckinney fell at The fire, and this
closed the conflict Malone lived nearly two
days. Mckinney died i'll about two hours.

Every reader will remember the exciting
and animated discussion which took place
few years since through the advertising col
unas of the newspapers on the Sarsaparila
val establishments was the true and genuine
old DIR. Jacob Townsend y article. The yarns
spun on the subject were almost interminable
in length, and the authorities on both sides
were piled up noun; ain high but how the
controversy terminated we have forgotten, if
We ever knew The famous contest referred to IS
eclipsed by that going on at the present time be
tween the two wings of the Democratic party as
to which is the true and genuine original simon
pure organization, and entitled TO claim the
baggage and effects Of the old concern. The
" National Democrats insist that Douglas is
the lineal descendant of General jackson, and
the living counterpart of that defunet hero,
and justly entitled to be regarded as the head
and representative of the party. The Dem
ocratic Nationals" on. the other hand,
trace the pedigree of their chief directly
through Jackson back to Jefferson, and assert
his claim to the title by virtue Of direct and
unbroken succession Neither party We be
liere attempt to lun their genealogical line as
far back as Belzcbub; though it would doubt
less BE- an easier task to trace the present car
dinal principles of the party, as expeunded by
isither faction, to that source than to either
jackson or Jefferson

Our Douglas neighbor insists that we are a
great admircr of Breckenridge, the can didate
of the major fragment of the remains of the
late Democratic party. We must acknowl-
edge the soft Impeachment" AS regards the
chiefs of the two factions our preference is
decidedly for the Kentuckian-and as we al
ways admire honesty, candor and fairness and
detest trickery, fraud and double dealing, the
preference is as natural as it is proper. We
abhor the principles of both, which are sub
stantialiy the same Breckenridge declares
his openly and frankly and boldly avows their
import and the results 10 Which they lead
while on the other hand, Douglas and his fol
lowers by deceptive tricks and cunningly de-
vised subterfuges, attempt to conceal their
true principles under specious and fimsy Gov
erings for the purpose of hood-winking hon
est Democrats and by means of false prrtenses
inducing them to cast well-meant votes SO as
to advance measures that they never could be
brought to sustain if they were fairly explain
ed to them. We do admirer the manly
straightforward course of j. c. Breckenridge.
and if a Democrat, in order to be consistent
should support him.
Delaware gazette. [volume] (Delaware, Ohio) 1855-1886, 1860-07-20

The parties especially interested continue
their efforts to effect a combination of some
kind between the discor1ant and hostile Demo
ocratic factions, in order to retain hold upon
the spoils in certain localities where when u
uited they have been able to monopoizc the
of1ices-no sensible man seriously pretending
that as regards the Presidency the candidate
of either faction has the ghost of chance to
succeed. So far none of these efforts have
been successful nor dies there seem to be any
probability of success in any quarter. When
the Brecknridgers need the Squatters to help
them out of the drag, the latter indignantly
decline to render the desired aid and vice
versa. There was for time the greatest
promise of success in Virginia, but the pro-
jectcd union of effort has failed, and two dis
tinct State Conventions to form rival electoral
tickets are called. The Breckinridgers prefer
Lincoln to Douglas, the Squattcrs prefer Lin
coln o Breckenridge, and as all the Rcpubli-
cans, who outnumber the Democracy if united
also prefer Lincoln to any other man, it is
pretty generally conceded that he will take
the prize with rush.

The telegraph some days since announced
the arrival in Mobile Bay of a coasting yes
sci freighted with some $50 Africans, who
river These Africans were probably por-
tion of those taken from the captured slavers
and cohgregated at Key West awaiting trans
portation to liberia. 1t is alleged that num-
bers of those unfortunate beings have been
run off from that locality, probably with the
connivance of the persons having them in
charge, and sold to the Southern planters
To cover up the fraud, it is pretended that
great mortality has prevailed among them, and

| inridge party in Ohio for the purpose of pres
enting their side of the question to the people
of the State. appears i'll the Cleveland National
Democrat of Monday last. Itisquite lengthy,
ably written, and advocates war to the knife
against the Squatters. Its tone and temper
may be gathered from the subjoined extract,
which exhibits the kindly feeling with which
| they regard their brethren of the Douglas per-
suasion. Speaking of the Little Giant who is
charged with being the cause of all the disas-
ters which have befaIlen the Democratic party,
| they say:
Whose unscrupulous devotion to his own
selfish designs has done more to disremember

tration, to impede lis efforts for the settlement
of this slavery question, TO prevent the fur&her-
ance of legislation for the good of our country
in its other interests and to create votes in the
north against d. mocratic principles and men,
than the combined forces u all the opposition
and Republican parties?
ct thc adhcrentS OF this man talk OF the
supporters of Breckenridge and Lane being

"ihey speak of those pure and irrcproacha-
bic Democrats themselves going down to
postcrity upon the scroll Of infamy." Is this
the language of wise and truthful men-of men
| following the right? Who but Stephen A
Douglas has been the arch-boltcr of the party
for the past six years? Who but he has sown
dissensions continually i'll our ranks Who
but he has driven the whole party to ruin, bro
ken down its organization and well nigh strck-
Ell its historic name from the roll of living par
ties? And for what That he who has done
nothing to deserve it should be forced upon
