The foul career of Squatter Sovereignty which

S. N. PhIfIIPsj Secretary.


ResOlved, That, claiming fellowship with, and
desiring the cooperation of all who regard the
preservation of the Union under the constitution
as the paramount issue-and repudiating all sec
tional parties and platforms concerning domestic
slavery, Which seek to embroil the States and in.

ing the territories of Kansas and Nebraska, as
embOdying the only sound and safe solution Of
the ''slavery question:" upon which the great
national idea of the people Of this whole country
can repose in its determined conservatism of the
Observation-Disclosures by congress with slave
ry in the territories or in the District of Columbia
q That this was the basis of the compromises
Of 1650-confrmed by both the Democratic and
Whig parties, in national Conventions by
the people in the election of 1651-and rightly
applied to the organization Of territories in 1854

pansion Of this Union insured TO it's utmost ca
pacity Of embracing in peace and harmony, every
future AInericsn State, that may be constituted

ResolOsd, That we recognize th6 right of the
people Of all the territories including Kansat
and Nebraska, acting through the legally aud
fairly expressed will of majority of actual
residents and whenever the number Of inhabitants
justides Il, TO form constitution with or without
domestic slavery, and be admitted into the Union

THE BOGUS DEMOCRACY OF THE SOUTH


The English language is not sufficient to express
the unmitigated contempt and indignant scorn
that the whole South should feel for those traitors
and vagabond political traders who went from The
Southern States to the Democratic Convention,
for the purpose Of aiding the Dougasites in cram
ming down the throats of the true Democracy the
odiOus and damnable doctrine of Squatter Sover.

THE BALTIMORE CoNtENrTON.

Our readers will have learned before the Issue
of out paper, that the National Democratic Con-
vention, which assembled at Baltimore, bursted
up. This has surprised no one--in fact, it was
just what was anticipated by every one who was
familiar with the conduct of Squatterites at
Charleston, who were unfortunately in the major-
ty in that Convention. The Douglas men were
determined to nominate him and endorse bis polit-
ical hetesies, OF break up the Convention, and
the true. national DEMOCRACY preferred the latter
alternative. An effort was made by the Douglas
party to pack the Convention by admitting the
bogus delegates from the South, by which mems
they expected to carry out their foul purposes
This proposition, which outraged everything like
justice and fair dealing, was repelcd, and the
delegates from the Southern States, almost 10 a
man, with those from California and OreecuJ and
other non slatekolding States, withdrew, and
organised Convention, In which twenty two
States were represented, and notninated John c..
Breckenridge, Of Kentucky, for the Presidency,
and Gen. Joseph Lane, of Oregon, for the Vice
Presidency, and adoptedH a genuine States Rights,
Constitutional Democratic platform. These dis
tinguished gentlemen have accepted the uomina-
ton and endorsed the platform, and they are now
the only true, constitutional, national names be-
fore the American people for the high positions
to which the people will elevate them W Noyem-
ber next.
The semi Black Republicans of the CouveD-
tion met, and, as a matter of course nominated
Douglas for the Presidency, and placl d upon the
ticket with him Fitzpatrick, of Ala, who respect
fully declined the association. TEey were put to
no little trouble to get Southern man to accept
the position, but finally found traitor in Georgia,
by the name of johnson, who feels honorcd IN
failing the squatter Sovereignty ticket We will
endeavor to furnish our readers, next week, with
the full proceedings Of the two Conventions.

EUROPE IN 1861,

" RObber take your clutch off the throat of
- the Vicar of Christ {" Such are the terms,
rather energetic than la;tering, In which an Irish
Preate addresses his Imperial Majesty Napoleon
III. The Catholic preates of France Use lan-
guage more crcumlOcutOry and polite, as French
manners would dictate; but the difference is
purely verbal. The alienation of the Catholic
party of France and Of Europe from Louis Ma
poeon is complete, and apparently final That
he has caioled, deceived, and betrayed the Pope,
to the ruin of his political power, is felt and re-
sented wherever the Roman See has devoted
adberent. And the Catholic party-the Ultra
montana, as It's adverssries sneerngiy designate
it-though of small account in Paris, to-day holds
half the peasantry and more than half the rural
gentry of France in its ranks. This party voted
all but unanimously to make Louis Napoleon
President whereby he was enabled Ia make HIM
self Emperor And when he wadcd through
carnage and perjury to his despOis throne,
the Clergy and their UtramOntane disciples
were his most prompt, unanimous, enthusiastic
supporters. "Our very dear son M Christ
d" Jesus" was the affectiOnate Characterization
under which Pope Plus addressed the blood
stained thief of Nations Rights; aud no French
man applauded his most tyrannical edcts-such
as that of claiming the Press abjectly TO the
footst0o of bis throne-mOre franticaly than the
Catholic party. L'JHtrers the able aud thorough
going Uliramonianc organ in Paris, especially
approved the Press letters; and EUH,uers was
titlv stifed by them in due season. The Gazette
de Lpon. the latest oracle of Ultramontanism,
has in Ike manner been snufed out by him on
charge Of eontumacy. To-day, the Catholic
Church in France, nominaly Catholic country,
bar rot 1.-THE Of the privileges 1t enjoys IN TINS
I'nion where religion il free and the Catholics
scarcely more than 1.-THE Of the population:
indeed, if the Pope wished to set before The

WAsHINGToN, Wednesday, Nov. II. ls9.
Tie Government has just been officially informed
that Capt Montgomery and his company have CON-
menced operations in Kansas again BY hanging and
killing their opponents, and threatening compel an
adjournment of the land sales advertised take place
during the month of December.
Several days ago, Letters received from respon
sbe sources addressed 10 the proper authority stating
that Capt. Montgomery has a force of probably i've
hundred men, with plenty Of arns ammunition, and
other material aid and that from time 10 time warike
supplies have been received by him from the North.
The writers also say that The demand to adjourn the
land sales would be resorted 10 rs mere pretext for
raising armed force and that the real object Of this
awless organization is raid first ON the frontiers Of
Missouri and then Arkansas and the western border
to avenge the punishment OF Abolition emsss,ries.
Gov Medary has recently communicated some I'M
poltm particulars relative to Capt. Montgomery re-
ported alarming movements.
Orders will be forthwith dispatched ordering the
United States troops in Kansas suc points Us may

KANsAsIN TIRE SENATE.

What will the Senate do with the bill now
before il for the admission of Kansas ~ u state
under the Nyandot Constitution Our readers
will remember that this bill passed the House of
Representatives quite early in the last session of
Congress, by over sixty majOrity but was not
allowed to come to vote in the Senate at all
Since that time, census has been taken in
Kansas by Federal authority-thr0ugh Democratic
oiicials-which shows d population in the Terri
tory of over 1890 souls. Are American cit-
zens, 10 this number, who have complied with
every condition requisite to enttle them to the
right Of sovereignty as State, to be denied that
right, without the slightest show Of reason or
Justice Let il not be forgotten that population
OF some $4,000 entities any State Of the Union to
a Representative in Congress, under existing laws:
and that all that has ever yet been insisted on
by the most strenuous, with regard Ia Il new
State applying for admission with n Constitu-
ton properly formed and ratified, is that it
should possess that number Of inhabitants. The
present population of Kansas is larger than was
that Of any State of the Union at the time of its
admission, except, perhaps, California and Mime
sofa; and almost twice AS great as the popula
ton Of Florida at this time; although the latter
has been "a State nj the Union for ths last fifteen
sears. The present application of Kansas is open
10 No objections of technical or legal nature,
such o. we're urged against those which pre-.
cedcd it. The Wyandot Constitutional Conven-
ton was held by authority of an act of the
Legislative Assembly Of the Territory duly APP
proved by the Governor. The Constitution was
submitted by the Convention to a fair vote Of the
people and mthrd by them. The election for
