cording to their own census. are decreasing
in Utah. In 1856 they numbered thirty
eight thousand; in 1857 only thirty-one thous-
and twenty-five, and in S5S only about thir-
ty thousand They claim. however. that
they are increasing in the country at large
and in the world, and they ascribe the dimu
milton in Utah to temporary causes and alb

two thousand in Great Britain and ireland,
and seven thousand on the Continent of Eu-
rope, besides s,me FIVE thousand in Canada,
four thousand in California, and several thous-
and in the Eastern States and South Ameri-
ca. Altogether they number one hundred

denied right which the citizen of Pennsyl-
vania enjoys The States are sovereigns and
equals, and their citizens as citizens of the
United States arc entitled to an equality OF
rights. Popular sovereignty as applied TO
the Territories means simply the right of the
people of territory when adopting a consti-
tuition previous to asking for admission into
the Union, to decide in their Gown way"
what their domestic institutions shall be. 1t
does not give the right to few fanatical
squatters, years before tie Territory ap-
plies for admission as State, to decide wheth-
er or not Slavery shall be per,nitted to exist
within its limits.
1t is well known that Senator Douglas has
recently promulgated views, differing widely
from the above, and it is said that an attempt
will be made to incorporate his views into the
Charleston Platform We hope the men,
bers Of the Convention will not allow such a
suicidal act to be consumated. If they do,
the National Democracy will reject the plat
form and the candidates who stand upon it,
with the triple energy Of their conscience,
their principles and their patriotism.

umphed on the Cincinnati Platform It was

G We announce with regret, the death
of Col. VIM. A. Todd, of Indiana. He died
at his residence IN that place on las. Sunday,
after lingering illness. Col. Todd resided in
this place during the years 1886. As a
member of the Cambria Guards of this place,
he faithfully served his country during the
most trying period of the Mexican war. On
his return home he located in the Borough of
Indiana, his native place, and resumed the
practice of the law. Being well read law
yer, and an eloquent advocate, he soon ac-
quired lucrative practice, and his career
promised to be brilliant and useful one. We
understand he leaves wife and several chill
dren to mourn his early death.
