Popular Sovereignty IN Kansas.
Gov. Medsry, the veritable Samuel Medary,
late of Ohio, and representative Democrat If
the Douglas stamp, has vetoed the bill recently
passed by the Legislature Of Kansas, prohibiting
Slavery in that Territory. Let the people Of the
Northwest read, mark, learn and inwarily digest
this striking event Of current political history
If never before, the fact is now clearly demon
strated that the Sham Democracy has made il
special object TO force Slavery into Kansas-
They have, indeed, already shown this, in many
ways, but in the recent vetoes Of Gov Black in
Nebraska, and of Governor Medary in Kansas,
we have the boldest, most shameless, and most
undcn;able demonstration of this often disayow-
purpose. This final test removes all chance
for eguivocation or evasion. The cxatI value OF
the much vaunted doctrine Of popular sove-
reignty,' broached by Douglas as lucky after
thought to mitigate the cnormity Of his sacrleei-
Gus crime in disturbing the Missouri Compromise.
is now so plainly seen, that those who rpm may
read. An Executive veto, under dictation from
W sshington, il nterposed with view to thwart
the will Of the people.
Let US see what Douglas--.he great Democratic
champion in the NorthWest-promised us in his
bill organizing Kansas anG Nebraska. He and

perfectly free to form and regulate their domestic
institutions in their own way.' In due time,
the people of each of those Territories, in man
ner perfectly legitimate, and through their Legis-
laturcs chosen in accordance with the provisions
Of the organic acts given to each by Congress,
decreed that slavery should not exist therein
And how has the solemn pledge, thus made to
them BY the Democratic party, been redeemed.
Why, Gov. Black, Northern Democrat, in
whose appointment they had no voice whatever,
declares that the will Of the people Of Nebraska
shall not be carried out He declares that they
ssuR have slavery in Nebraska, whether they will
no, SO long as their Territorial condition lasts
Failing of two-thirds vote in both branches Of
the Legislature-owing to the strength Of the
Democratic element-slavery remains in Nebras-

and hvpocritical party
And now we have an act Of the Kansas Ter
ritorial Legislature, strictly conforlned to all the
conditions prescribed by the organic act, ard
passed in the exercise of right which Douglas
and the Democratic party have solemnly pledged
themselves to defend and maintain, in like man

Is taken to do this dirty work. that no such
prcrogatiye is allowed TO its Governor: although
chosen directly BY the people. Rather than sub
init to such infamy, it would have been a thou
sand-fold better for Mcdary, and for the Ohio
Democracy, had he resigned his Office, or suffer-
ed his name to be added to the list Of behcaded
Kansas Governors. Yet this Douglas Democrat
has proved himself a most plant too. Douglas
himself would have been found equally obsequi-
Gus, had he been in Medarys place.
Let us be told no more that the great object
of the Dem ,cracy--of the Douglas Democracy
--is not to extend Slavery and to force it into
the Territories, in utter defiance Of the popular
will, and in direct reputation of the sham pre-
tense OF sqnatter sovereignty. The record il
now complete. 1t Is in words that no man eau
