What 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 10th day of May
last 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

Under it Slavery has been extended from the
Rio Grande to the Gulf of California
Under il Slavery has gone as far North as 81
degrees North latitude, degree and a half far
ther North than the South ever asked that it
should go.
It has converted the only inch of free terrific
nv to slare territory that has ever been 50 con
yerted on the American Continent
WHAT Mr. DOUGLAS EXPECTS 1T TO DO.
"If it be true" he said, :" that this principle
of non-intervention has given to slavery all

Ey- The following extract from a pri-
vate letter of an intelligent and we'll
known gentleman, formerly a resident OF
this village, now in New Hampshire,
shows the state Of political feeling in that
State. One Of his Democratic cores

most astonishingly upon his Imagination,
had informed him that "the prairies were
all ablaze for Douglas !" to which he
responds

Ey- The Dubuque Herald, noticing
BEN SAMuELs' nomination for Congress,
says that Mr.. VANDEvER will be invited
to stump the State with him, and if the
latter dare to meet the Hope of Iowa"
he will find himself squelched out, &C.,
&C., and so on. In view of the fact that
Mr.. VANDEvER publicly gave notice a
month since that he would be ready and
DESTROYS of going before the people in
company with his competitor, whoever
he might be, this is certainly brave at
tempt at challenge. and as for all the
bosh about daring to meet the Great
Ranter, and about the squelching out,
that is only a repetition of language used
by the Herald last year. DoRR then
confidently and blusteringly asserted that
Mr.. VANDEvER would not dare meet Mr.
SAMUELs on the stump. and when the
challenge was promptly accepted, he
equally confidently prognosticated that
Mr.. VANDEyER would find it convenient
to withdraw in a very short time-get
conveniently sick. But instead of Mr..
VANDEvER getting sick, it will be re-
membered that Mr.. SAMUELs soon got a
very severe sore throat, and when he got
round to Dubuque refused to continue
the appointments. AS for the chawing
up and splitting OUT process which he
was to perform upon his opponent, those
who were present at the discussion in
this place know how acceptable the spec
tacle was to the Republicans and how lily
it suited the Democracy. BY all means
let the process be repeated.
The Herald has also heard from sever :
al counties in the State, and is astounded
and overwhelmed at the glorious change
for Douglasism going forward. Counties
that have always given 500 majority FOL
Republcanism will give this fall ma.
jority the other way. DC! Dom takes
good care, however, to keep back all

Ey- JOHN H. PETERS, who wanted to
be Senator of this district, and whom
Col. THOMAS wanted to make Congress
man, recently made personal attack up
on the editor of the Delhi Journal. The
difficulty grew out of a notice in the

Mr.. PETERS for mileage in going from
Delhi to Iowa City and back The editor
says that somebody was saved from a
richly merited chastisement by the in
reference of PETERS friends.

bringing the present expenditures of the
county down nearly as low as they were
in 1867 (subtracting the expenditure
upon the Court House both years when
our population was much less than it
now is. In considering the items of ex-
penditure, and contrasting them with
similar ones last year. it will be seen that
in almost every instance where the ex
penditure has been within the discretion
of the county officers, there has been a
material reduction. The item of court
expenses, including the cost Of liquor
suits, amounts to So, 456 81 against

another instance can be found among adj

have had less assistance in the perform

proved the bill prohibiting Slavery in the
territories north of So deg. and 80 min

DOUGLAS reported and advocated, inter-
vening to keep slavery out of Oregon.
JEFFERSON was for Intervention. The
