Sovereignty VS.
Popular Sovereignty.

The Republican convention that nomi-
cy engrafted the following in their pla,-
form.
"Resolped, That the Constitution confers upoI
Congress sovereign pOiCer over the Territories %
the United States for their government, and tina
in the exercise of this power, it is both the Tgh
and duty of Congress to prohibit in the TcrrtOric
those twin-relicts Of neutrality-suspicious. AM
slavery"
This is the Territorial policy of the Re
publican party clearly set forth On tn,
other hand the Democrats claim that the
people of Territory, like those Of q
State, are fully capable to govern them
selves, and to regulate their own domes
tic affairs in their own way; subject, only
to the Constitution of the United States
This great principle of self-government
is tho cornerstone of American liberty.
1t was to maintain this that the American
colonies, through the Continental Con-
gress, declared their independence of the
Mother country. 1t was for this that
they engaged in u seven years war with
the mistress of kingdoms and the master
Of Empires. 1t was for this that the AL
mighty's shield was thrown around the
person of Washington to save him from
a thousand deaths that he might redeem
his country. 1t was for this that our
forelathers endured the dangers, privatioi.
and hardships of the Revolution. 1t was
for this that the gallant DE kalb left his
bleeding country in the hands of tyrant
he could not subdue to lay down his life
upon the plains of Camden. Ii was foi
this that the brave Montgomery poured
out his last ile's drop before the walls OF
Quebec. 1t was Tor this the noble Laiay-
ctto deserted the blushng vinehills of his
native France, the young wife of his bos-
ON, an association with kings and mobiles
who owned him for an equal, to peril his
life and shed his blood upon the land he
redeemed. 1t is ior this that the Demo
cratic party has ever contended. 1t is
for this that We now urge the election Of
Stephen A. Douglas and invite tho patri-
otto men of all parties to aid in the noble
cause.-the cause of Constitutional liber.

CaSsius AT H'ifiin.

The Black Republicans Of Tiifin paid
Cassius M. Clay 800 to make them Il
speech at their mass meeting a few days
ago. In that speech Mr., Clay said:
"rhey THE Democrats tell you we ARE for lib
Grating the blacks--Ior setting the negroes free
SO WE ARE! We believe, as do you, that in
l776, all men were created free and equal; endow.
ed with certain inalicnablo rights! They
meant just what they said, and they repeatedly
speak of negroes as men and AS persons. THEY
MEANT THE NEGROES WERE EQUAL
WITH THE WHITE MANI"

BADLY Fooled.

Abolitionists and negro steaers it seems are the
chief friends of Douglas in the northern States
Chdrlestotcn, (Va.) Democrat,
Our cotemporary is greatly in error in
regard to the friends ofJudgc Douglas in
the North. The friends Of Judge Doug
las in the North are those who have stood
up maniully against overwhelming odds
for the rights of the North, South, East
and West. His principal opposition in
the North are the Black Republicans who
sympathizcd with John Brown in his raid
upon Virginia. There is also an insignif-
icant opposition led on by men who in
the main have been Wilmot proviso men,
anti Nebraska men, Van Buren, men of
lS4S, and general fuglemen for the Abol-
itionis,s. In Ohio, there are very few
among the breckenridge leaders who
have clean records. To say that the
chief friends of Douglas, in Ohio, are
AboitioniSts and negro stealers is to say
what is basely false.

The Good Time Coming.

Mr.. G. II. Langston-a 6lock Republi-
Of some ability--addressed the colorcd
people at their First Of August celebra-
ton in Dayton. We find sketch of
his remarks in that excellent journal, the
DAYTON Emple. Langston said:
God has brought the coloIed folks
here for great purpose; it was the des-
tiny of the white and black races on this
continent to anna gamate, and out OF the
union was to grow the most mighty and
perfect people the world ever knew
We can't escape this destiny. The
black would furnish to the common stock
the bone and sinew and muscle, and the
whites the intellectual stock! And to
gether, the amalgam would present a
perfect nation"
The audience was a mixed one-white
and black--and it was curious to notice
the divers effects produced by the pro-
phetic eloquence Of the speaker. The ne
groes, by expressive looks, indicated II
willingness to enter Immediately into the
proposed arrangement for the suppl y OF
bone and snew they were obviously ready
to go in on their muscle instanter.-
But respectable looking old gentlemen,
fathers Of fair daughters, from whom
was expected the requisite supply of in
tellectual stock, grew fussy, reached for
their hats and canes, and departed.
Go it, Langston! You are right. If
all men are born equal, as Republicans
assert, then all that you assert must be
fulfilled. Logam Gazette.

stand Itn and Answer.

The first Republican Congress met on
the first Monday of December 1855. 1t
took the House seven weeks to elect u
presiding officer, at n cost to the people
OF over $500,00O The next Congress in
which the Republicans had a majority
met on the first Monday Of December
1859, and it then took the House eight
wecksto elect presiding officer, at a cost
to the Nation of about 1000. The
Republicans, William lIolmick among
them, voted for eight consecutive weeks
for John Sherman. John Sherman en-
dorsed Helpers Impending Crisis, which
says: "Not to be an 1Joltionit is to be
a wITai and dioJalicI instrument Of Me
devil" Now, We want William lIelmick
to stand up and answer why he sustained
the above sentiment, and to do SO, aided
in squandcIing 100000, and eight
weeks time in voting for Sherman, if he
is not an Abolitionist?
The Holmes county Republican, during
the contest for speaker, said
"U'e Hope tile Northern Republicans wili
remain firm, and The Union must go,
why, "iet her Siide."
The Republican is fIeimick organ and
we want to know from Helmick whether
he stands upon the above platform erect
ell by it. Every lover Of the Union pre-
diets q trying time ahead for the Union
of the States, and under this state of af-
fairs it is important that we have patriots
in Congress; hence the necessity Of Mr.
llelmick coming out plainly and unequiv-
ocally on these questions If Mr.. Hell
mick should be re elected will he agar
assist in voting away 100000 to dis
tract the people and aid in the overthrow
OF the Union?

Southern Elections.

The Kentucky and Missouri elections
have had wonderful influence on the
public mind in all parts of the country,
but especially in the South IL is dem
onstratod by these election that the Dem
ocratic people Of the South do net adopt
Mr.. Breckenridge as the candidate Of the
party, and it is shown beyond question
that he has no strength, not even in his
own State. The taunt that his friends
were in the habit of throwing out, that
Judge Douglas could not carry single
southern State, is turned upon his party,
and it is now asserted with confidence
that Mr.. Breckenridge cannot carry any
State in the Union, except South Caroli-
ma. In all the southern States those
Democrats who were disposed to go for
Mr.. Breckenridge psevious to the recent
elections, are now leaving him by scores
and hundreds and joining the standard of
the National Democracy. Douglas and
Johnson have increased in strength in
the southern States at least ten per cent.
in the last week, and the current is now
running strong in their favor in all the
cotton States. Breckenridge will not, il
he continues on the track, obtain the vote
of any State in the Union, except South
Carolina, and hence it will be madness
for men to cast their votes for him in any
other State. Douglas and johnson are
now regarded in ali sections of the Union
as the regular Democratic candidates, and
as such the whole party will rally for
them -- Statesman.
