If you think you do not know enough
to know whether yon want slavery in
Territory where you reside, or not, be
sure and vote the Republican ticket; for
tho doctrine of the Republican party is
that the people become fools just as soon
as they enter Territory, and have no
rights that anybody is bound to respect.
If you really feel that you would not
become dolt as soon as you entered a
Territory, and that you would be COM
PEELED to judge whether you wanted slav'
cry there or not, vote the Democratic tick
at because tho Dem mocratic doctrine is
that aman's wits are not bounded by
geographical line. We don't believe
now, and probably never shall, that me-
gro becomes an intellectual giant in a
Territory and all white men become
fools. We leave to the Republican party
an exclusive monopoly of that kind OF
choice logic. The essential element OF
Republicanism consists in tho belief thnt
man loses his natural rights MS well as
his common sense as soon as he becomes
resident Of Territory. Those who co
incide with that opinion should vote the
! Republican ticket.

who is Responsible for the
Quarrel in the Democratic
Party!
1t is not the man who steadfastly ad.
heres to principle that is blomable for di.
viding party. When in 1855 the Dem
ocratic party took high grounds for pop
uar sovereignty, and on that issue elect
ed Mr. Buchanan President it was his du.
ty to his party, and to his country, to
adhere to that principle throughout his
administration. This Mr.. Buchanan has
not done. On that question he has turned
a complete summcrsaut and made war up
on those who would not turn with him,
ant especially upon Mr. Douglas, to whom
he owes his election. For proof of this
we extract the following from his let
ter Of acceptance, written on the 18th of
June 1856:
The agitation on the question Of Domestic Sla.
very has too long distracted and divided the pco.
ple Of this Unon and alienated their affections
from each other. This agitation has assumed
many forms since its commencement, hut II now
seems to be directed chiefly to the Territ ricsi

may safely an icpate that It is rapidly approaching

respecting domestic slavery, derived, as IL has
been, from the original and pure fountain OF tlegit.

ancient as free government itself, and in accOr.
dance with thcin as simply declared that the peo-
pie of Territory, Ike those OF State, shall de.
eide for themselves, whether slavery shall shall
not exist within their limits.
The Nebraska. Kansas Act does no more than
give the force OF law TO this elementary principle
Of self government; decla,ing it to be ''the true
intent and meaning Of this act not to legisate
slavery into any Territory State, nor to exclude
it there from; but TO leave the people thereof per-
iectly free to form aud regulate tier own dotnes
tic institutions In their own way. subject only &c
the Constitu ion ofthe United States" This pfin
ciple will surely not he coutroyertcd by any ind
vdusi Of any party protesting devotion to pupula
government. Besides, how vain and lusor.
would any other principle prove in practice in re
gard to he Teritcrics This is apparent from tn
fact admitted by all, that after Territory shIl
have entered the Union and become State, M
constitutional power would then exist which coul,
prevent it from either abolishing or establishing
slavery, MS the case may be, according to its SOW
creign will and pleasure.

Bourbon King, who has long been in.
trcnched at Cupua, few miles from the

the Garibaldians would lose no time il

Am Appeal for DOu.2as.

Democrats of Kentucky, who are fight

neither give nor ask quarter; and have the
power, the talent and courage to sustain
themselves? Is it not Stephen A. Doug
las and his friends? The Administration
cohorts--the tenants Of post Offices and
custom houses--have surrendered, rather
than go over to the enemy. Senator's
true to their national creed, have fallen
one after another. The venerable Cass
has been overwhelmed in his own State.
Dickinson, Pugh, Bigler, and long list
of able men, have fallen. Bright and
Fitch have gone oyer to the enemy
Douglas stands alone this side of the
Rocky Mountains, still defiant and irwin
cible He has held his State, with a ma
jority in her Congressional delegation,
true to the Constitution. He proclaims,
deiantly, to the Black Republicans, that
the government was made by white men,
for white men; that the negro has no po-
litical rights, except what the white man
gives him; that this government can exist
as our fathers made it--part free and part
slave; that the people of Territory shall
have slavery if they desire it; that Con,
greSs has no right to dictate on the sub.
iect; that the diversity of institutions is
a blessing instead of a curse. They rail
at him, dcnounce him, curse him, burn
him in efiigy; but he has sustained him =
self before his people, whilst all the Other
representatives Of States friendly to u:
have fallen.
He might have retired before the storm
/ this year. and left his friends to fight the
battle, but there was too much at stake
He knew the temper of North and South
and res olved that the latter should have
no good reason for dissolving the Union
which they might have under Black Re

the arena with a will. notwithstanding
the troachery of the Administration. tina
