The slavery Issue Wet Again.

A bill was recently introduced into the House
of Representatives by Mr., Bingham, declaring
null and void all Territorial Acts in New Mexi-
co, establishing protecting and legalizing slave
ry in that Territory. The bill passed the House
by seven majority, after furious opposi,
sition from the democrats. The passage of this
bill through the House of Representatives, rec
ognizes an important principle, and establishes
again the prosIavery attitude of the democratic
party The principle recognized, is the Repub-
lican doctrine of the right of Congress to legis-
late for the prohibition of slavery in the Terri
tories. The fact is also established that the de-
mocratic party is not opposed to the extension OF
slavery INTO the Territories Of the United States
the Democracy in Congress having put itself
on the record, against the repeal of the Terrific,
rial acts establishing slavery in New Mexico.

Time. for Action.

The time for action has now arrived, when
every town should have complete and effective
organization for the approaching Presidential
contest. The reliance for success by Republi-

through the printed page, There needs to be a
committee in each town, in order for systematic
action, who will take charge and attend to the
circulation of documents. Besides there are 9TH

Personal Prefevewces.

The personal preferences of this paper, in the
few instances indicated in the past year or two,
have inclined to Mr.. Seward for the Presidency
During recent tour, however, through the States
regarded as doubtful, we were enabled to gather
the public sentiment of the people on the subject
of Presidential candidates. In several Of the
States, especially Indiana and Pennsylvania, so
strong and adverse were the expressiong of on. n

nlent among all classes that it must be over
thrown. But why put away one democratic adj
Illustration and inaugurate anNther Of the same

democratic faith promise more than the present I?
The democratic party insists that it has not
changed its principles of governmental policy !;
what guaranty, therefore. that democracy in the
future, will be any better than the democracy of
the past? Democracy processes to be the same
everywhere how idle then, to talk of redeeming
the country with the very democracy, which it is
confessed on all hands, has brought the nation
into disrepute? But it is said in the North, and
especially in the Northwest that there is a kind
of democracy of which Mr., Douglas is the expo

the government to political health and respecta-
bility But wherein does Douglas democracy
differ from any other democracy North or South7
Simply in small bubble about popular sove-

at the North, are confessedly in agreement with
the democracy South they all subscribe to the

Can Lincoln Carry Illinois ?

The question is asked, can Lincoln carry the
State OF Illinois, against Douglas or any man of
like popularity? This question has been fully
settled. In the contest of 1885, when Lincoln
and Douglas canva'sed the State of Illinois by
counties, for the U. S. senatorship, the compar-
tive political strength of these two men was full
ly tested the election it will be remembered,
was Tor members of the Legislature and altho'
Republican majorities in both branches were not
secured, ewing to the unfair districting of the
State, yet the aggregate vote for members of
the Legislature in the several counties of the
State stood as follows
