The Great Democratic Principle.

The Great Democratic Principle.
Douglas and bis followers are accustomed
In their stump speeches to declare that they
are IN favor OF the great principle Of popular
sovereignty, and to assert that the Kansas
Nebraska bill, drawn up by Douglas, adopted
by Democratic Congress, and endorsed BY
the Cincinnati platform, secures to the pso-
pie OF Kansas the right to regulate their af.
fairs In their own way, just as they do In
Iowa or Illinois.
BY reference to that bill, however, ii seems
that Congress made the fundamental law and
dictated the form of government for the
people OF Kansas. 1t seems, also, that un-
der the form of government provided by Con
gress, and in which Kansas had no voice. a
Governor is TO be appointed by the Pres-
dent, and the Judiciary department is to be
hiled by judges appointed by the President.
Moreover, tho act of Congress which creates
the form of government and provides for the
appointment of Governor, Judges and all
Other officers independent OF the choice of
the people of Kansas, also provides for the
election of q Legislature and fxes the Quail.
hcations of members, the duration Of their
term OF office and the powers which they may
exercise. And even after thus limiting and
restricting the Legislature, the Nebraska.
Kansas act gives the Governor, whom the
President appoints, veto upon the bills
passed by that Legislature; and to show tina,
the veto power is not mere name, il was
exercised by Governor Medary in multiplying
a bill, which passed the Kansas Legislature
at Its last session, for the prohibition oil
slavery.
BY this act for the organization of kansal

iment of Douglass popular overeignty prin

Missouri was the home and headquarters
of the Border Ruidaps who invaded Kansas
and in military array, with drums beating
and colors flying, took possession of the polls
and elected pro slavery Legislature for the
people OF Kansas. That Legislature found
In Douglas it's strongest advocate and de-
fender in the Senate Chamber of the United
States. 1t was he that proclaimed that the
people of Kansas should be subdued and
made to render obedience to the Infamous
slave code of Kansas; and Douglas was the
only Northern Senator that had the boidness
or the barbarity to justify that infamous
statute. The Border Ruf6ans are under OBJ
legations to Douglas, for he defended their
practical application of his squatter sover-
eighty doctrine.
The Missouri Republican, which was the
great organ and advocate of Border Rufiian-
ism, recognizes their obligation OF gratitude
to support Douglas now, and it is raliying
it's forces with great energy in behalf Of him.
The Douglas strength is overwhelming in all
that section of the State where the Border
Rufhans were so rampant. And the same
men, who, under the promptings of Douglas
and the Missouri Republicans, mobbed print
ing Offices and lynched Methodist preachers
in Missouri and perpetrated an armed inva-
sion OF Kansas, are now found under the
same prompters, shouting fer non-interven.

Interpretation.
Missouri ought to 60 for Douglas, and, if
il fails TO do so, there is no use talking of

Little Giant.
UneonstttutionaI Objections.
Some OF the advocates of one and another
of the Presidential candidates in opposition
to Lincoln contend that be ought not to be
President because the slave States WON'T cast
any electoral votes for him.
1t 10 somewhat surprising that such an OBJ
lection should be urged by such strong stick
lers for the Constitution of the United States,
when it is reoollected that that instrument
simply provides that the candidate having
the majority of the electoral votes shall be
President. They seek to add an unconsttu-
tional condition, and demand that part of
the votes shall be from slaveholding States.
Another objection urged to the election of
Lincoln is, that although he is likely to re-
ceive majority Of the electoral vote, be
cannot receive majority Of the popular vote
over the aggregate vote of all bis competi-
tors, and therefore he ought not to be Presi.
dent. But the Constitution does not require
a majority Of the popular vote, and therefore
those who make this objection do so in yio-
lation Of the spirit and letter of the Consti-
tuition. No such objection was urged against
Buchanan, although the aggregate popular
majority against him was over four hundred
thousand votes.

A comparison of the ecclesiastical stats

fishes the fact that the increase of Protest.
ants during this period has been considerably
larger than that of Roman Catholics. The
number of Professionals has increased from

cent; that of Roman Catholics from g.

numerical proportion of the two Churches

gives many interesting details on the proper

rlous provinces. In two provinces, Brandon
burg and SiIesia, and in particular the CAPT

lies have, in consequence of immigration, in
