Another Step.

"The Boston Bee says, tho city of

we believe. hereabouts--of drawing col

Thus they go. Where the Republi-
cans have the strength, and have "been
educated up to the full Standard where,
as the Tribune says "they can endure
strong meat"--we find them daily iur-
nishing fresh evidence that they are in
favor of placing negro on the same foot
ing with white man--morslly, socially
and politically. True, in this section, it
is denied, but it is only because it is well
known that such doctrine would be un
popular here. and as Gidding's paper says,
"in the great march of freedom, we (the
Republicans must not discard the con-
servatives, for they look after the bag

State will not be long behind. Let them

IL is aquestion now whether the sece-

to take part in the future doings of the
Convention. They never should have

Reasons Given for Douglas Dc
(pnf.

The Joliet (Illinois) Signal, one of the
ablest and best conducted Douglas papers
in Illinois, speaks out plainly in regard to
the causes which prevented the nomina-
ton of Mr., DOUGLAS at Charleston
Read what it says:
SAVE Me FROM MY FRIENDS THUS
may Senator Douglas well exclaim, in
view of the result OF the Charleston Con-
vention.
1t has turned out precisely y as we pre-
dicted. The violent abuse of the Admin
istration and the eminent and long tried
Democrats by the friends and reputed or
gans of our Senator, has reacted upon
him. His nomination at Charleston
would have been certain had it not been
for this. lie may thank Forney's Press,
the Cleveland Pioindedier, the Cincinnati
Enquirer, and certain other newspapers
in this State and elsewhere, for the pres
ent state Of things Had it not been for
them, and the illfeeling stirred up by
thir intemperate zeal, the name OF Stephen
A. Douglas would now be flying at the
head Of every Democratic paper in the
Union, as the Democratic nominee for
President of the United States.
Unfortunately for the tavorite states
man of Illinois and the Democratic party
there has been to much vindictiveness and
arrogance displayed by those supposed to
be his immediate friends. Covode and
his iniquitous conspirators have been al
most equaed by them in calumniating
and vllilying the President and those who
sustained the Administration. We do
not believe that Mr.. Douglas approved
this course on the part Of his friends, yet
it has done him much harm; and we hope
he will set himself right on the question
before the Convention meets again. Let
him disavow the dissentious course Of a
portion OF his Northern supporters. and
stand before the Convention Oh his own
merits-not as the avowed enemy of any
portion OF the Democratic party-but as
the representative of the whole party, and
his nomination will be the result.
The present quarrel in the Dem ocratic
party is without just foundation. The
difference am ongst Democrats respecting
slavery in the Territories, in our view,
amounts to just nothing. Mr.. Douglas
and his friends are willing to leave the
question to the Supreme Court, and we
cannot see why this should not be salts.
factory to National Democrats every
where.
1t is perfectly suicidal for Democrats
to keep up quarrel on mere abstrac-
tion. While Democrats are entitled to
personal preferences, and should urge
them to all proper occasions, still they
should ever be ready to yield to the high
or claims of principal would bo exhibited
by the friends of Mr. Douglas at the ap-
preaching Convention at Baltimore, than
there was at Charleston, he would be
more certain of success.
In conclusion, we repeat that those
men who join in maligning and abusing
the Administration and those Democrats
who coincide with its policy, are the
worst enemies Mr.. Douglas has. How
ever, Notwithstanding the violent and sill.
ly course of some of his friends, we have
faith that he will yet be chosen as our
standard bearer, and lead our united Tor
ccs to victory.

temporary, and daring its existence all citizens of
the United States have an equal right to settle

Second, That 1t is the duty of the Federal Gov

tends.
Ihird, That when the settlers in a territory,
having an adequate population, form State Con.

The People of Tcrritorics--Are
they Endowed with SOVercig nty

Much has been said about sovereignty
in Territories. Thousands Of honest men
have thoughtlessly adopted the doctrine
that the people Of Territory are sover-
eign in themselves and to the same extent
as the people of State. No greater de-
lusion was ever admitted into the brain of
an intelligent man. A State is sovereign
because its existence and authority are
not within the power of any other State
or of Congress to limit or control A
Territory, on the contrary, is a mere tenn
porary organization which may be utterly
abolished at the will of Congress. Utah,
for instance, may any day be wholly alb
rogated, or it may be divided up and par
celed out to adjacent Territories. This
may be done regardless Of the wishes ofHe
people and without their power TO prevent IL.
What is true of Utah, is equally true of
all Territories. An organic act may be
revcked, and what was once an organized
Territory, may be added to the limits OF
an existing State. Kansas may be add
ed to Missouri, and Nebraska in like
manner, added to Iowa. 1t the States be
WlllinS loT 'uiS, Me peopte V We IeT'HO-
ries, possess neither right nor power to
prevent it. Yet in the face of these indis-
putable facts, men talk Of Sovereignty ex-
listing in the people Of the Territories =
They are sovereign to do whatever Con-
gress, acting as the Trustee of the States,
may constitutionally authorize them to
do. But Congress has no power to pass
laws which will prejudice the equal rights
of the States in these Territories, nor can
it confer on Territory power which it.

An AcrOuaut Killed.

A New York dispatch of the l1th inst.
says Mr.. Connor was advertised to make
a second balloon ascension, yesterday,
from the Palace Gardens. Despite the
violent gusts of wind which now and then
sprung up, and the remonstrances Of his
friends, he persisted in attempting the as
cension, but no sooner had the balloon
left the ground than it was dashed with
great force against the concert saloon,
which faces the garden. The basket
caught for moment under the project
ing caves of the building, and then was
hurled against sky light nth great force
The balloon instantly collapsed. Mr..
Connor was found on the roof of the build
ing, and the physicians who were imme-
diately summoned, ascertaincd that his
injuries were principally internal. Dur
ing tho evening he remained insensible,
and expired at | ?. NJ. His wife wit
messed the casualty, and would probably
have shared her husbands fate had the
ascending power of the balloon been found
sufficient to carry up two persons. 1t
was her intention to attempt voyage.

arm of the British pugilist will probably
be ready for use again.

The Morality Party.

1t does not look very well for persons
or parties to boast Of their morality and
decency. but whether it looks well or ill
it is a notable fact that the Black Repub-

Der Of delegates and others, bound for the
Chicago Convention, arrived in Pitts

enough to gas about fifty thousand dol

TheTca Plant.

The progress of the experiments in ac'

from, is favorable, and there is reason to
believe that it can be grown in the open

and plants have been sent into this
Southern region, and eight thousand
more have been distributed to persons in
the Northern States owning green houses
as objects of curiosity.

The Kansas Gold Region.

The Missouri and Kansas papers speak
Of largo emigration to the Kansas gold
region. There is less excitement about
these diggings than there was last year,
and the emigrants generally go well pre-
pared, SO that tho repetition of last years
sufierings cannot be anticipated. The
richness ofthe mines is now well estab.
lished and accounts of new and promising
discoveries continually come to hand
Speculation in claims is brisk, as high
prices as four thousand dollars for forty
feet having been paid in some of tho best
gulches. Emigrants should take out

bitant prices. Beef is plenty at the mines
and sells for 10 to l5 cents per pound.

FEEDING STocK.-1. 1t should DO the
aim of The herdsman TO keep stock con-
staptly improving-exhibiting return
for the food and care given them, either
in growth, flesh or~milk.
2. This should be done as economical
ly as possible. If the improvement in
flesh, growth, or the production Of milk,
manure, &C., does not yield return for
the market value of the food, cost Of care
and interest on the money invested, it is
not profitable to feed stock.
3. To make stock feeding profitable, It
is important TO select the breeds best
adapted to secure the object of the feed

of the animal, and adopt and establish a
system in feed which shall most certainly
