For some time past, Mr. Douglas has been pow
eTful in his advocacy Of what be calls Squatter
Sovereignty, but it seems that not long agO-in
fact some two years after the passage of the Kan
sas Nebraska bill-he was in favor Of slave code.
Two letters of tie late Gen. Quituan, dated in
March, 1856, have just been published in The
Matches Free Trader. In one of them Gen. Quitman
says:
al believe that at this day the Northern Democracy
are sounder and more reliable the Slavery question
than they have been. The Kans bill has driven
of all the compronsers and eft those that remain no
alternative but full vindcaion OF our whole rights
] believe, therefore, they viii prefer bold, ultra
Southener 10 a renegade.
"In short conversation with Douglas yesterday, h.
said 10 me that wkat he most feared ras, thai tim,d
Southern meA acoHld fall back.

Pierce if nomipated II is also my interest 70 be

into Office with oody-guard Of old foges and polh-
cans ready to seize upon all the offices. He is true
to the South lie demands not only ne use and enjoy
ent Of the common territory for their property, bHt
tBslss rs protection there. To bim we aro indebted
for the Kansas BILL which presents the points of
contact. lie the true representative Of this principle,
and opposes The abOHIiRabIe principle Of Squatter
Sovereignty"
The other letter is less explicit, but sufficiently
so for all practical purposes. equOte Gen. Quit
mans words:
"He is, too, the man Of progress, with as on the
Cuban and Central American principles. | suggest
that while the North is wsging q relentless war
against u.s. would il not be we'll 10 extend political
alliances rather TO the young and growing West
Douglas would sweep that section. Again, believe
that while he may have lees control Of the political
wires he has Of the hearts Of tho people. Were
he nominated the bold, enthusiastic aud thoroughgo
TX men Of the hills and valleys would rise up and
overwhelm Sll opposition. We have had enough Oh
time-serving politicians. The country now demands
bold, fearless, planspoken men-Jackson in action
Here We have Gen. Quitman, who states that on
March %, 1856, Mr. Douglas was in favor Of Con-
gressionAl protection of slave property in the Terri
tories, and opposed to the abOminable principle
of sauatter Sovereignty" This needs exPlans-
lion nom the senator from Illinois. Unfortunately
for him his own denial win not sOficei for every
body knows that Gen. Quitman always told the
truth. while the statements Of Mr. Douglas are
always mach more likely to be believed when he
can support them by the evidence OF Trustworthy
witnesses. But what does he say to these letters

DEMOCRATIC LEADERS FOR DIsUNION.
We shall publish immediately the recent powerful
speech of Senator Wilson Of Mass., in which the fact
demonstrated that the Dsunion Movement begun
thirty years ago by Mr.. Calhoun has at last obtained
the control Of all the most influential leaders of the go
called Democratic party. This is proved by q1ota-
tions from their own declarations, given in their own
language, and forming an array of testimony which
cannot be disputed. The speech will form tract of l6

A terrible northwest storm broke over the
eity on Thursday night, and continued throughout
yesterday, spreading destruction on every hand.
Along the Jersey shore, all over this city, aud
throughout Brooklyn, houses were unrOOfed, build
ngs destroyed, and fearful havoc effected. Several
persona we're dangerously hurt near HObOkeni but
we have heard of no fatal disaster in New-YOrk or
Brooklyn, although there baye been plenty Of peril
GUS adventures and haiI-breadth escapes. On the
water, the damage to the shipping interest has been
very serious Brooklyn appears to have suffered
most in the destruction of roofs and ricketty build
iprp. For while, the ferries on the North aud
East Rivers we're stopped, on account of the storm,
but the travel was eventually resumed. Last night
the gale had moderated considerably, but the wind
blew stifiy from the same quarter. Thus far, it is
impossible to guess at the damage done to prop
erty-it must have been immense. The telegraph
informs US that the gale took wide circuit.

COmMKRCE DIPLOMATIZING.

Commerce has risen to be power in the world,
and the time has come when commercial men
should WELD a great influence in public affairs.
Nations are rapidly acknowledging the sway Of
public opinion. The universal voice already con-
trolls the universal world. Why should not the
voice OF commercial men be potent in the general
MAST The New-York Chamber of Commerce
rises to an appreciation Of these truths and yester-
day promulgated tao documents, which, whether
important in themselves or no, deal with very i'm
portant topics. If they are TO be taken as the
utterance Of our commercial men, as the expression
of their wel-cOnsidered views, then those documents
become Important from this very fact, Before as
Stunning that such is the case, however, they should
perhaps be subjected to . closer examination
aud more thorough discussion than such top
les, or any topics, can receive in sort OF
cloIe corporation, such as we presume the Cham
Der of Commerce to be. II the commercial men
generally, in open public meeting would address
Themselves to full consideration Of such topics as
are the subjects Of discussion in the Chamber Of
Commerce, and wS6ld come to decision thereon,
if that decision we're marked with any considerable
degree Of unanimity, their action would become
matter Of considerable interest. If the action Of
the Chamber of Commerce shall lead the way to
such modes of proceeding in the future, 1t will de-
serve well Of the commercial community. They
may thus become the means Of organizing pow
erful and influential element in the conduct Of
affairs.
One Of the subjects reported upon BY the Cham
Der Of Commerce was the question Of privateering,
and the other was an inquiry concerning media
ton between England and France, and China.
The latter question is one Of great and immediate
consequence. The Chamber Of Commerce seems
to assume that the allies have determined upon war
against China absolutely and without condition.
Now, while we admit the probability of war, we
do not regard it as so entirely certain as is gene
rally assumed. The Queens speech to Parliament,
made on The gath Of January last, contains the
following remarks: p
81 am preparing, in concert and cooperation with
the Emperor Of the French an expedition ints nded
20 obtain redress and fulfilment Of the spulatons
of the Treaty Of Ten-tsn. IL will be gratifying 70 me
III the prompt acQueseence Of the Emperor Of China
In the moderate demands which will be made by ihe
PleupotentAries eha obviate the necessity for the
employment Of force"
There ia room here for the expectation, or at least
the hope, that peace may still be preserved. 1t de-

1t has been recently rumored that in some of the
Oubtful States, such as Pennsylvania, New Jersey
and Missouri there was effort being made by the
respective friends of Messrs BREcKNRDGE and DoUG-
LAS to unite upon the same electors, and for those
electors elected to cast the vote of the State for Mr.
DOUGLAS or Mr.. BRECKNRIDGE as a majority Of those
voting for them should indicate by placing upon
their tickets not only the names of the electors but
also the name Of their choice for the Presidency.
Steps had been taken in New Jersey and Missouri
have State Convention at an early'day to effect
such an arrangement The existence of this report
has called forth from Hon. MnEs TAYLOR, chairman
OF the DOUGLAS National Committee, proclamation
to the friends of Mr.. DOUGLAS, North and South,
fOrbidding their entering into any such arrangement
Mr.. TAYLOR says, his circular dated Washington,
June 3Oth is addressed to the DOUGLAS friends, in
obedience to the wishes of the Committee" Mr..
TAYLOR says so far as is known to the members of
the DoUGDAs Committee no person loho desires the
election Of Stephen A. Douglas TO the Presidency and of
Hereskd Y johnson to the Wee Presidency, has ever
expressed loiSh for any such arrangement entertain
ed or eueR cOateRanced for single moment, dEy Sg-
geStoa or proposition tending to,cdrds Il. Nor does
the committee believe that any such arrangement cda
lefh prCprey be made at ay time, in any place under
any circumstances ,oiA those ,oho hare placed Brecia
ridge and Lane in nomination. and their Gro,oei
supporters in opposition to The regular nominees Of the
Democratic party"
The address further says that the antagonism be-
tween the positions of Mr. DOUGLAS and Mr.. BROCK
"is such as must preclude the possibility Of
any susio- 5et,0eea them in the support Of common cleo
toraI ticket IN ANY STATE, no NATTER WHAT MAY BE
THE PROBABLE RESULT OF THE ELECTION IN IT WITH
OUT SUCH A USIOg'
This Manifesto is quite in accordance with the
Rule or Ruin policy" of Mr.. DOUGLAS advisers
and clearly indicates that they would prefer the
election Of LINCOLN and HAM.N to BRECKENRIDGE

drive from Mr.. DOUGLAS every fairly disposed DEM
