Natisnal Republican couyeut,or.

We copy from the Sac Union the follow.
ing of the proceedings of the Chicago Con-
yention:
A platform was reported, which declares
the necessity of perpetuating the Republican
party maintains that the principles pro-
mulgated are those of the Declaration of In
dependence, and embodied in the Federal
Constitution; abhors all schisms for disun-
ion from whatever source they NAV come !:
denounces the lawless invasion of any State
or Territory; condemns the subserviency of
the Administration to the exactions of a
sectional interest; advocates the return of
to rigid economy; repudiates the new
dogma that the Constitution. of it's own
force, carries slavery into the Territories ::
affirms that the normal condition of all Ter
ritories is that of freedom declares that
Kansas should be admitted under her pres
ent constitution; approves the Homestead.
Tariff and Pacific Railroad measures: oppe-
ses any change in the Naturalization Laws;
and concludes by inviting the cooperation
of all citizens, however differing on ther
questions.

DoS'T kNow.-The Democrat don't know
why Douglas voted against a section of a
proposed law explanatory of the Kansas
Nebraska act, because it hasn't the docu-
ments before it. Would it not be well to
hunt up and have on hand the history of the
past so far as Douglas is concerned, that we
may speak intelligently when we speak at
all? The Democrat, Notwithstanding its
confessed want of knowledge on a certain
point, is quite free to declare again, how
ever, that Mr. Douglas has never, since 1850
repudiated the doctrine that the people of
Territory, through their Legislature have
the right to exclude slavery or to recognize
and regulate it therein" 1t says this. too,
in the face of provision sought to be in
corporated in the bill to admit Kansas un-
der the Lecompton Constitution, declaring
such right to exist with the Territorial Leg
islature, which Mr.. Douglas voted against,
and thereby repudiating the doctrinel The
Democrat knows nothing of the affair, but
if it be so, it is all right any how, and it
will stick to it's old assertion of the consis-
tency of Douglas. Such is locofoco poll
tics.
The Nevada journal., 1860-06-15

ALL IMAGISATIoN.-The Union not long
since declared that sovereignty, absolute
democratic sovereignty, resides in the peo-
pie of Territory that the Constitution of
the United States does not extend over Ter
ritories till the people thereof shall consent
to its extension; that Congress has no power
there; but that The people are perfectly free
and have a National right to govern them
selves.
4 few days since it became loud -mouthed
because the General Government did not
defend these perfectly free aud sovereign Ter
ritories with national rights, against the scalp
ing savages. We humbly inquired of the
omniscient Union what obligation rests up
ON the General Government to furnish arms,
money and troops for the defense of for
eign and independent nation, as Territory
under its doctrine must be. What response ?
dependence of the people of Territory of
the General Government, or that they lose
their character of American citizens by be-
coming residents of Territory They owe
no allegiance to the American Union, can
exercise complete sovereignty against the
pretensions of the American Government
are independent to the extent of making
their own laws, are beyond the reach of the
Constitution and Congress, and yet are
American citizens! Because we do not call
this exposition of the Union good sense
that paper pronounces US possessed of a
poetic temperament. "'Pon honah, old fel-
lah," says our contemporary, "you have a

Lincoln Waited upon bya Committee-His Speech.
SPRINGFIELD, Illinois, May 10Th
The Committee appointed by the National
Repuollcan Convention having assembled in
the main parlor, George Ashmun, of Massa-
chusetts, addressed Mr.. Lincoln as follows ::
have, sir, the honor, on behalf of the
gentlemen who are present, a Committee
appointed by the Republican Convention
recently assembled at Chicago, to discharge
most pleasant duty. We have come, sir,
under vote of instru ctions, to notify YOU
that you have been selected by the Conven-
ton OF Republicans assembled at Chicago,
as their candidate for President of the Uni
ted States They instructed us, sir to no.
tlfy you of that selection, and they deem it
not only respectful to yourself but as ap-
propriate to the important matter which
they had in hand that they should come in
person and present to you the authentic ev-
idence of the action of that Convention !;
and sir, without any phrase which shall
either be considered personally plauditory
to yourself, or which shall have any refer
ence to the principles involved in the ques-
tions which are connected with your nomi-
nation, desire to present to you the letter
which has been prepared, which informs
you VI tHe HOHllHdllOn; ana Win III the plat
form, resolutions and sentiments which the
Convention adopted and, sir, at your con-
venience we shall be glad to receive from
you such response as it may be your pleas
ure to give u.s."
Mr.. Lincoln respondeda as follows: Mr.
Chairman, and gentlemen of the Committee !:
| tender you, and, through you, the Repub-
lican National Convention, and all the peo-
pie represented in it, my profoundest thanks
for the high honor done me- which you now
formally announce. Deeply and even pain
fully sensible of the great respon sibility
which is inseparable from that honor-a
responsibility which l could almost wish
had fallen upon some one of the far more
eminent and experienced statesmen whose
names were before the Convention-I shall
by your leave, consider more fully the reso-
lutions of the Convention, denominated the
platform, and, without unreasonable DELAY,
respond to you, Mr.. Chairman, in writing,
not doubling now that the platform will be
found satisfactory and the nomination ac-
cepted; and now will not longer defer the
pleasure of taking you and each of you by
| the handr
| The various members of the Committee
were then presented to Mr.. Lincoln. who
greeted each of them with hearty shake
of the hand.

h- The Sacramento Union, notwith-
standing the assertions of the locofoco
press, is the most modest sheet in tho State.
When Squibob dexterously managed to
twist his hair around the fingers of the
right hand of his antagonist and pulled him
down thereby, he was so proud of the
achievement that he had to boast of it in
print. The Union was never known TO have
the slightest egotism in this respect, though
it has floored antagonists without number
in the same manner.

MORE OF THE HuMBUG.-Our Democratic
contemporaries are quarreling among them
selves about what was decided in the Dred
Scott Decision. and whai is popular sover-
eighty and what not. 1t is funny time OF
jabbering, they have. One faction claims
the Dred papers give a negro holder the
right to take his property into Territories
and hold it. The other declares that ques-
tion didn't come before the court of "su-
perannuated mummies and therefore what
is said to that effect is oJiter dicta, and not
law, and then pronounce in favor of the
right of the people in Territories to de-
eide ter or against slavery. 1t seems to
us this latter class, which is known by the
name of Douglas Democracy, are only re-
sorting to the refinements of cruelty. 1t
enough to be humbugged once with this
popular sovereignty nonsense. Douglas
and all his crew know that whether the
qnes ion was before the court or not, the
conf did give its opinion that the slavehol-
der had the right to take his slaves into the
Territories. 1t may be o6iter dieta and not
law. But it makes little difference. We
know it piH be law if the case is ever brought
before the mummyfed tribunal, and every
body believes the case will be brought in
order to obtain a decision that will be law.
We would not be surprised to see such a
decision thrown off soon after the Presiden-
tial battle is fought, or even sooner. Doug
las has put himself in position to indorse
the decision which he is sure will come
The popular sovereignty fallacy is only
delusive cry raised to catch northern votes,
and holds out expectations to the ignorant
that the people in Territories are to decide
their domestic institutions for themselves
in case of the election of Douglas or one of
his kind to the Presidency.
Every intelligent person who has read the
Dred Scott decision knows what the opin-
ION of the Supreme Court is on the Terrific
rial question, and what its decision will be
when the time arrives, if it has not been
given already. 1t will undoubtedly be in
accordance with the doctrines of jeff Davis.
The whole thing is foreshadowed in the
obiter dictd, about which so many words are
made. Why not, then, be decently honor
able and accept the said bred Scott decision
as law? But this would not suit Douglas,
as he designs to use the popular sovereignty
dogma to draw auxillaries from the North,
which could not be raised if all the opinions
of the Supreme Court in the bred Scott
case should be recognized as law. We pop
ular sovereignty men, therefore, pronounce
as much as suits us of the said decision not
law simply because the case has not been
directly brought to obtain the law, but we
know our declaration is only to subserve
temporary purpose, and that by and by
when the decision comes which will be law,
We, as good citizens, will plausibly plead
the sacredness of it, and declare every other
party which does not bow in reverence be-
fore the judicial petrifactions at Washiug-
ton, reasonable and revolutionary. Crush
this .nake-in-the-grass party! Down with
the humbug.
