Lake Forest. Lind University.

The annual examination of the class
es in Lind University, at Lake Forest,
took place on Tuesday last. This liter
ary institution is still in its infancy the
students as yet being chiefly in the pre-
paratory department The exercises
of the examination on Tuesday, were
highly creditable, and gave promise of
the future importance of this new liter
airy enterprise. Prof. S. F. Miller, a
gentleman Of much experience as a
teacher, has charge of the preparatory
department Rev. W. G. Dickinson,
formerly of this city, and well known
by his scholars attainments, has the
department of Prof. of languages.
Lake Forest is steadily improving,
and bids fair to become one of the
most pleasant towns for family resi-
dence on the west shore of Lake Mich
igan. The grounds are being improved
and several beautiful dwellings have
6een erected within the past few months.
The place possesses peculiar advanta,
ges to those parents, who wish to place
their sons in an institution of learning,
removed from the usual bad Influences
of large towns and cities. There are
no places of immoral resort tolerated in
the place.

breckenridge in Illinois.

The Breckenridge State Convention held al
Springfield, ILL.,, on the 18th inst, was represen.
ted from different portions of the State, by 20C
delegates. A full State ticket was nominated
also full electoral Breckenridge ticket. The
following resolutions were adopted unanimously:
Resolred That we hail with unbounded salts
faction the nomination of Breckenridge and Lane
and hereby pledge them oui united and enthusi-
astic support.
ReSOL0ed, That we recommend to each Sena-
torial district in this State to present full ticket
Of National Democrats to be voted for in the
coming election.
The Breckenridge party in Illinois, are organ
izng for an efficient campaign, and are deter
mined to push the Squatterties to the wall. Al
though the former are openly proslavery, yet
they have greatly the advantage of the
latter in the logic and the argument. The
Squatter Sovereignty men of the Northwest,pre-
tend to be neither pro-slavery men nor anti
slavery-they profess to hold a platform which
commits them to neither side. Their leader.
Douglas, says he "don't care whether slavery is
voted up or down." but at the same time he has
by an ingenious contuvance of the platform so
fixed it, that the people of the Territories can
never vote do,on slavery-his acceptance of bred
Scott, settles that.

The Douglas Democrats profess to be non. in.
ventonists; by which is generally among the
common people understood to mean, no interfe-
renee on the part of General government, in the
legislation or local affairs of the Territories A
mere absurd profession is scarcely conceivable /;
the Douglas National Convention at Baltimore,
absolutely recognized and endorsed Intervention
by the National Government. That convention
declared it the province and the right of the Su-
preme Court to nterfere; or in other words to
determine what shall be regarded as law in the
Territories. The Douglasites are just as much
interventionists as any other party they favor
Intervention by one branch of the general gov
eminent, while the Republican party claim the
right for another branch.
By the Constitution of the United States, the
government is made to consist of thee distinct
branches, viz: the Legislature, the Exc cutive,
and the Judicial. The Douglas party profess to
be opposed to Intervention in Territorial affairs
by the Legislative branch ofthe government but
claim the right of interference by the Judicial
branch this is the most dangerous kind of inter
NCH'lOui ueCduSe IL COlheS lGOn Drancn OF the
government not responsible to the people-being
beyond their reach. Judicial tyranny acting
under pretense of law, has in every age been the
most dangerous, and subversive of the libe rites
OF the people. Abuses by the Legislative branch
Of the general government may be reached-the
people hold the corrective power Judicial
wrongs cannot be reached by the people the
Judges of the Supreme Court hold their Offices fol-

of American Slavery. The pro-slavery Democra.
cy have an intense dislike to Congressional in
reference i'll the Territories, Congress is pop
ular body--directy accountable to the sople fol
its acts With the growing sentiment of the age
in favor of free institutions, the slave power
does not feel safe to trust the destiny of tho Ter
ritories to such body; but with the aid of the
Judicial power, the popular will may be set al
defiance, and slavery rendered triumphant in al
the Territories of the Union. This is the kline
of intervention the Douglas party approve an(
endorse.

Schemes for Relief of Farm Mort
SaGOrS.

The newspapers arc proposing and discussing
various plans for the relief of the Farm Mortga-
gors. 1t is possible some scheme may be de-
vised for relieving large class of citizens from
the burdens which fall so heavily upon them; t
all events it is we'll to consider the plans propos-
ed. The Madison Argus has scheme for this
purpose, the substance of which may be gather
ed from the following paragraph:
1T is for the State to repeal all the Railroad
charters in the State resume the franchises and
property of the corporations; form new compa>
MES, in which the stock would be held in pro-
portion to the means really invested in the
building of the roads, and thus fully protect all
the just rights of all parties"
The Free Democrat also discusses projects for
relief and proposes the following:
at is that the State shall purchase all the
roads in the State, at figure which will NEE:
all the first Indebtedness involved in them, and
at once sell them to the highest bidder or bid
ders, the proceeds of the sale to be at once sci
off against the purchase money, the State being
liable only for the difference loss, if there be
any, between the cost and for which sold II
is believed they can be sold for all they have cost
and the interference of the State will have nc
other effect than to establish justice between the
different classes of creditors, and re-organize the
roads on a sound, permanent and paying basis )

New Paper ina Egypt.

A Republican paper, entitled the I'm
ION County Record, has just been start
ed at Anna in lower Egypt, Southern
Illinois. w. H. Mitchell, formerly OF
Wisconsin, is the editor and proprietor.
This is an adventurous undertaking,
especially in peouniary point of view.
Republican support must at first be limit
ed, for the reason that the number Of
Republicans in that quarter the State
is yet comparatively small. The new
paper is well gotten up and deserves
success; it devotes a large space to To-
cal information, especially the capabili-
ties of the country for producing fruit,
81. One great merit of a village news
paper, is good weekly summary of
local news, and the setting forth Of the
resources and advantages of the coun-
try. If few business men and prop
erty holders, make liberal advances in
a new town to sustain we'll conducted
press, they are sure ultimately to be
greatly the gamer a press rightly man
aged, can give prominence to town,
is no other influence can. The Repub-
licans of Anna, ana of lower Egypt
generally, should give the Record
generous support! $50 vgL 81 a. I'd

The Democratic Douglas papers IN this State
keep the name of HerScheU Y. Johnson conspicu
ously posted in their columns for the Vice Presi-
dency Is it not about time some of these Dem
ocratic sheets were giving their views on the
subject of having the labor of our country O,oned
by capitalists? 1t would seem this must be a
matter in which laboring men naturally feel an
interests if it is better that some rich man should
own them, than that they should own themselves.
they very likely would like to hear the reasons
therefor. Why will not some of our Democratic
contemporaries try their hands at an calculation
of this subject? HerscheH y. johnson, the can
diGate for Vice President. in a speech made at
Philadelphia on the 18th day of September, 500,
laid down the doctrine as follows:
eve belieUe capital should labor is there
any doubt that there must be a laboring class
everywhere? In all countries and under every
form Of social organization there must be labor
ing class-a class of meu who get their living by
the sweat of their brow and then there must
be another class that controls and directs the
capital of the country"

TO dIspelthe delusion that Popular Sove-
reignty, as expounded by Douglas him
self, gives the people of a territory pow
to prohibit or exclude slavery. Popu-
lar Sovereignty begins by protesting
equal regard to the rights of freedom
and slavery, and ends by conceding all
to slavery and allowing freedom moth
ing. The Breckenridge democracy are
entitled in this matter, to the merit of
honesty; they do not offer the people
the right of choosing freedom or slave
ry, and then by clap trap dishon-
esty, deny them the exercise of any such
privilege.
The Breckenridge party offer an open
unequivocal and well~defned issue it
holds the constitutional power of Com
gressional intervention in the Terrific
ries, but insists that that Intervention is
by Constitutional right, n favor ofslave-
ry. Here is the tue issue before the
country, and here the Republican party
and the Breckenridge democracy are as
widely apart as the poles. The Brock
inridge men assert boldly, that the Con-
stitution carries slavery into the Terri
tories; Republicans emphatlcally deny
it. The issue is plain-there is no mis-.
taking it. This will be the issue before
the country in coming years; every SEN
slble man must see it and acknowledge
it. Slavery or freedom must ultimately
triumph; they cannot both dwell toge-
Their on terms of equal right. The Dou-
glas doctrines, as will be seen from the
testimony already given, are as proslave-
ry in their final results. as those of the
Breckenridge party; but they are inves-
ted with deception and fraud-promis-
ing what they never intend to fulfil

WHO Will AmsWer9

The question is now repeatedly ask
ed whether the supporters of Mr..
Douglas in Wisconsin, still profess to
hold to the doctrine of Popular Sow
ereignty, as it has been expounded in
previous years, or have they aban-
doned it; Do they pretend to main.
tain, that the people of Territory
have right to regulate their own in.
situations, including the acceptance or
rejection of slavery? Will some Dem;
ocrat undertake to answer these ques-
tons
That Mr.. Douglas himself has alb.
andoned Popular Sovereignty, is fact
which no one we suppose will attempt
to deny. Let us see if the proof of this
be not conc1atSive:- the debate be-
tween Lincoln and Douglas at Free
port Ill. on the 9th of August 1858,
Mr.. Lincoln proposed the following
question to Mr.. Douglas
"Can the people of United States
Territory, in any lawful way, against
the wish of any citizen of the Upited
States, exclude Slavery from its limits
prior to the formation of State Cons
stitution?"
To this question, Mr.Douglas repli-
ed:
cit matters not what way the Su-
preme Court may here after decide as
to the abstract question whether Slave,
ry may or may not go into Territory
under the Constitution, the people have
the lawful means to introduce it or ex-
clude it as they please, for the reason
that slavery cannot exist day or an
hour any where, unless it is supported
by local police regulations. Those po-
lice regulations can only be established
by the local legislature
Here then is the doctine of Popular
Sovereignty, as held by Mr.. Douglas
and his friends two years ago. But
does he hold this doctrine now? Let
us see:-The Baltimore Convention
added to the Douglas platform a reso-
luton, recognizing the decision of the
Supreme Court, Gas it has been, OF
shall hereafter be-" in respect to the
right of property in the Territories
including of course property in Slaves.
Mr.. Douglas in his letter of acceptance
endorses the platform as explained in
the aforementioned resolution, and de.
clares it true embodiment of the
Democratic doctrines. 1t is only neo-
essary to see what those decisions OF
the Supreme Court are in respect to
property in the Territories, which Mr..
Douglas cordially endorses. They are as
follows
"E'aery citizen has a RIGHT to take
aoith him into the Territory any arti.
Gle of property qchich the Constitution
of the United States recognizes as prop.
erty.
"Ihe Constitution of the United
States recognizes SlaUeS as property
AND PLEDGES THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT TO PROTECT
1T"
Now put this with Mr.. Douglas ex
position, as given in his Freepor
speech, Quoted above) and where il
Popular Sovereignty Who in the
face of these facts, will say Mr.. Doug
las has not abandoned the position he
once occupied? and have his follow
ers in like manner, discarded this once
popular though specious humbu G?

Democracy has "a Bad Memory

y
The Democracy keep standing boast before
the people of being interchangeable. Even the late
Democratic Convention at Baltimore which NOM
mated Douglas, in the first resolution of its
platform, has the same self complacent brag; il
says: Believing that Democratic principles are
Interchangeable, &c. Yet this same Baltimore
Convention no minated a man for the Presidency
who himself once euogized the Missouri Com
promise "akin to that of the Constitution Of
the United States Mr.. Douglas in a speech
delivered at Springfield, H. Oct. 23d, 1949,sad
The Missouri Compromise had an origin akin
to that of the Constitution of the u. s., conceiv-
ed in the spirit Of fraterna Affection and caLcu-
lated to remOre 0reuer the danger tchich seemed TO
threaten, at some distant day to serer the social
bonds Of union. All the evidence Of public opin-
ion OF that day, seemed to indicate that this COM
promise had been cGnOnized in the hearts of the
Americdn people as a sacred thing, which no
RUTHLESS HAND would ever be reckless
enough to disturb
Such was not only the doctrine of Douglas at
that time, but of the entire northern Democracy
that now support him. Still the Douglas De
mocracy continue to affirm they never change.
Bear in mind, that the Missouri Compromise
which Mr.. Douglas says was ''canOnized in the
hearts Of the american people, was a Congress
