Mhn: Popular Sovereignty has Done.

Stephen A Douglas, the Northern Democrat
ic candidate for the Presidency, and the great
apostle of Popular Sovereignty, in the Senate
OF the United States, on the 18th day of May
hast states the results of his doctrine to have
been as follows:
Under it the people of New Mexico have in.
troduced and protected Slavery in the whole Of
that Territory!
Under it tract of free territory five times as
large as the State of New York has been con.
vertei into slarc territory
Under it Slavery has been extended from the
Rio Grande to the Gulf of California +.
Under it Slavery has gone as far North as Sc
degrees North latitude, a degree and half far
ther North than the South ever asked that il
should go,
1t has converted the only inch of free terrific
ry to Stare territory that has ever been so con-
verted on the American Continent.
WHAT Mr. DOUGLAS EXPECTS 1T TO DO.
"lf it be true" he said, d" that this principle
Of non intervention has given to slavery all
Of New Mexico which was surrounded on near
Is every side by free Territory, will not the
same principle protect you in the northern
+statos Of Mexico when they are acquired, since
they are now surrounded by slave territory

many degrees of greater heat T.: and have eli
mate and soil adapted to Southern produe-
tonse'

The Wilson Forgery.


Ey Our neighbor still refuses to cor
rect his JOHN M. WILSON story, because
as he says, we have given him no proc
as 10 its falsity He knows that he gave
that speech as one made by a Republi
can elector of Massachusetts. He know:
that we showed that when he published
it, the Republican electors of Massachu
sets had not been nominated, conse
quently Mr.. WILSON could not have beer
Republican elector of that State. Now
he falls back upon the assertion that Mr.
WILSON is an assistant elector. But oul
neighbor knows better than to suppose
that assistant electors would be nomina
ted before the regular electors. In fac
there is no such thing as assistant cleo
tors in Massachusetts, consequently Mr..
Wilson is neither an elector or assistant
elector of that State. The New York
Tribune pronounces the whole story s
gross forgery, and our neighbor undoubt
edly feels it to be so, and will probably
correct it after election. Until then, he
will dodge around, as he has been, call
ing for more proof If that isn't cool
we wonder what is-to keep making
charges, and call upon somebody to dis
prove them. The customary and prop
err way, we would suggest to him, is fol
the person making the charge, to fur
nish the proof of it. This our neighbol
knows he can't do, and has not attempt
ed. But still he has not the candor anc
fairness to acknowledge the falsity of The
story. That is not Democratic usage.
Below we give the list of Republican
electors of Massachusetts, and it will b.
seen that no such name as john M. VIII
SON occurs in the list. If there is sucl
man, and he made speech as repre-
scented, the responsibility of it does no
rest with the Republicans, for they have
not endorsed him or it. The Who'll,
thing is evidently deliberate lie, con
cocted by Democrats TO affect foreign
born voters. The list of MassachuseLt:
electors is as follows
GEORGE MoREY, r. A. CHAPMAN,
Alfred Macy, John &. Whittier,
James II Mitchell, Gerry w Cochrane,
John NJ. Forbes, John Nesmith,
Charles B. Hall, Anasa Walker,

troduced the first Nebraska Kansas act
it contained no provision repeating that
compromise. Il was not until Mr.. DoUG-
LAS deemed it best to bid for Southern
support, that he found that the Compro-
misses Of 1850 involved the repeal OF the
Com promise of 1890. Mr.. DoUGLAs's
popular sovereignty dates from 1858. not
from 1850. Nor has he been consistent
since, but since 1857 has been vacillat-
ing between squatterism and bred Scott
ism and now, while the Northern por-
ton of his party claims him for the one,

Care Doctrine and says that none but a
Stupid jackass' would assert that Mr..
DOUGLAS had any reference to the alb
stract question Of slavery when he made
the declaration that he didn't care wheth-
er it was voted up or down. And then
A" quotes from MIR. LIScoLN's Spring
field speech to prove that Mr.. L. did not
suppose Mr. DOUGLAS to have been speak
ing OF the abstract question. But that is
just what Mr.. LINCOLN did say. He was
showing that Mr.. DOUGLAS was trying to
impress the doctrine of Indifference up
on the public mind. That is what he
accused Mr.. DOUGLAS Of throughout the
the whole Senatorial canvass In the
very speech from which "a" quotes,
Mr.. LINCOLN uses the following language :
i" How can be Judge Douglas) oppose
the advances of slavery He don't care
anything about it. His avowed mission
is impressing the public heart to care
nothing obom IT," This shows that LIN
coin, In 1853" did understand the Ian
guage' precisely "as RICH understands
it in 1862 Every Republican in the
country SO understands Judge DOUGLAS.
Are they all stupid jackasses," Mr.
"A."? We challenge you to produce a
single sentence spoken by Mr.. DOUGLAS
since 1850, in which be intimates that he
does care whether slavery goes up or
down. You can't do it, He never made
it.
ga" makes few remarks on the rel
alive positions of DOUGLAS and HAML1N
on the Homestead bill. We have dis
cussed this question so fully before, that
we do not deem it necessary to go over
it again. Suffice it that Mr. DOUGLAS
stands upon platform which is entirely
silent on the doctrine of free homesteads,
and belongs to a party which has always
defeated the measure. Mr.. LINCOLN and
Mr.. HAMLIN stand pledged by the plat
form of their party, in the strongest
terms, in favor of the measure.

elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio and In.
diana increase rather than diminish the
reported Republican majorities. 1t i:

and probably $4,000, majority for Gov.

State ticket, with the exception of BRrN.
KERHoFF for Supreme Judge, about g.
600 majority. BRrNKERHoFF is strongly
anti-slarery, and had the combined for
ces of all the other parties against him,
yet even he is elected by Is. 900 MAORI
tv. Indiana seems determined that the
Republican Safe ticket shall have Is, 1000
majority. Her returns, however, come
in slowly. Her Legislature is Republi-
can in both branches, as is also that OF
Pennsylvania.
The Pennsylvania representation IN
Congress will stand as betore-20 Re-

20 as far as the Democrats have eyel
gone in sustaining the decisions of the
Supreme Court, that we Intended to as.
sen tlat they viii meekly bow down to
the dlcta Of The Court in the Drel Scott
case. The Democratic party, lie will
probably recollect, refused to accept the
ruling Of the Court in reference to the
eonslitutionality of the United States
Bank, and in their present platform, in
the face OF that decision, declare that a
charter for National Bank cannot be-
constitutional. They generally, toe
with the exception Of STEPHEN A. DJUG
Las. pronounce the old Ssditioa Law an.
constitutional, which, also, the Cour
pronounced constitutional. They effect
ually nullitied the decisions of the Court
in these questions, and that without pro
ducing revolution They appealed from
the Court to the people, and the people
sustained them. So with the Republi-
cans. They have more faith in The peo-
pie than in the Court, and obey propose
to appeal to the people against the Court
whenever that tribunal strikes blow at
our liberties. They propose no resis-
lance to the Court, but expect to over
turn obnoxious decisions, such as that
in the bred Scott case, through the
peaceful and quiet operation Of public
sentiment, just as the Democratic party
did before them.

Douglass Denunciation of Clay.

IT, AS Mr.. WooDsoS's letter don't
seem to be sufficient to satisfy some of
the Democracy of this region that Mr..
DOUGLAS, in common with his political
brethren, used formerly to SANDER and
abuse Mr.. CLAY in the coarsest and most
outrageous terms, we deem it best TO pile
up the evidence little higher, and this
time we give them weight enough to stop
all their attempts to wriggle out from
under the burden of the charge. Read
the following
CARRoLLToN, I'LL, Sept. 90. 1860.
"The undersigned hereby certify that we
Were present at Joint discussion between Ste
phen A. Douglas and d. NJ Woodson, opposing
candidates for Congress, at Carrolton, in lS44

nunciation of Clay, using substantially the fol-
lowing language :" [ denounced him in the

That Offer.

Ea- Two weeks ago we dared our
neighbor to lay before his readers an ex-
tract from recent speech made by Sen
DOUGLAS, which we would select. We
offered, at the same time to publish an
extract of similar length frem any Of Mr..
LrNcoLs's speeches. That proposition
our neighbor fails to notice. Republic
cans have tried again and again 70 get
an extract from Mr.. DOUGLASS 10th OF
May speech inserted in Democratic pa
pers, but in every instance without eff
feet, even sometimes where they have
offered to pay advertising rates for the
privilege. And yet these journalists
continually boast that Mr.. DOUGLASS
record contains nothing Of which they
are ashamed-that his speeches cont ain
nothing that they desire TO suppress.
This is the pretension our neighber
makes, and yet he dare not publish the
extract which we have indicated.
