TO THE PEOPLE OF HOWARD COUNTY.

concerns, this is the basis Of q free government
and is slavery local, or National concern;
none will contend that it is National institu
ton, then why seek to make it National
question? Is this a question Of so much mag
nitude, that it is not safe with the people!
Hav: the people shown themselves incapable
of handling grave subjects? Let US look at
what the people have done concerning slavery,
and ju 1ge from the past whether they cannot
be trusted in the future:
When our constitution was adopted, tho
Union consisted Of IL slave States and free
State; in six Of those original slave States, the
people, uninauenced by congress, have abolish
ed slavery; here, popular sovereignty, in its
purity prevailed There his beea aided to
more slave States than at first Now, who be-
leves that one of those States, north Of the
Miss ,uri compromise line, which have been Cd.
mitted since its adoption, would have been
slave State without it; was that what kept
slavery out of Iowa, out Of Wisconsin, Michi-
gan, Illinois, or Indiana? II the people Of
either of these states want slavery, Congress,
it is admitted by all, cannot hinder tnem. after
they becomes State. If the soil and climate
are adapted to slave labor, and the people of a
State desire it, they will have it and it is just
as easy for them to have it after they become
State as before, then Why keep up this agita-
ton, over 50 impracticable aquestion? What
Territory where slavery does not now exist, is
in d.nger Of becoming slave Territory, unless
prohibited by Congress. Shlll We keep up
this fight? or shall we bury this question be-
yond the possibility Of a resurrection in Con-
gress,-let us leave this question, where it Of
right belongs, with the people who are imne
dlately interested in it, and who are alone re.
sponsible for it. AS before stated, it seem, as
though the principle could not be questioned,
and would not the policy be good also. would
it not be infinitely better for u.s. that our repre-
scntatives in Congress should devote their time
to the legitimate business entrustcl to them,
for the peace happiness, and pros
pcrity OF our Nation, rather than spend their
time AMI our money in angry discussions,
which are only calculated to produce Jealousy,
enmity and distrust, and to array one portion
of this Union against the other. These results
New Oregon plaindealer. (New Oregon, Iowa) 1859-1866, 1860-11-02

The issues involved in the present Campaign
are of vital interest to this Nation. We be-
seech our fellow citizens to calmly and dispas-
sionately consider the principles advocated by
the leaders of the respective parties, and exam
ine we'll their tendencie, and probable effects,
before depositing their votes The only issue,
is one of governmental policy, the question is,
shall this "ding dong Of Slavery be kept up
in Congress! or shall it be at once banishel
from the Halls of G ,ngress and be left with the
people, where it belongs? If the doctrine Of
Congressional Intervention is to prevail how
can we expect peace and harmony to be restor-
ed to the Government? whenever Territory
is to be organized, or u new State to be admit
ed, the fierce agitation of the Slavery question
is again invoked, and who will attempt to fore
tell the disastrous consequences, which may
ensue. This is the only question which has
ever threatened the stability of this glorious
Union. Who ever thought the Uaion in dam
ger, until Congress sought to exercise d,spotic
powers over the people of the Territories
Until 1920, Congress, had never attempted,
and had never been asked to interfere with the
domestic affairs Of the people of the territories:
free AMI slave States, hal been admitted into
the Union, as the people chose, and we had no
trouble; but when Congress assumed to control
the question, what different results have follow
ed. 1t was then for the first time, that fears
were entertained for the perpetuity of this Union
Of states. 1t Was then for the first time, that
patriotic men, trembled for the safety of the
Republic, and these fears were only quelled,
and the threatning danger avertel, by virtual
division Of the property Of the Territories. A
division line WAS drawn; it lu.lel the storm
for the time, until We got more territory, then
again it ragged in all its fury. We can all re-
member the 6erc, and bitter agitation which
convulsed the land from ocean to ocean, through
184S, '49 and 80, and it was only by falling
back upon first principles, that dissolution Of
the Union was avert.d. It was then agreed,
that Congress should not me- lie with the sub
ject, that it should be banished forever from
the halls Of Congress, that it was question
for the people, not for G ,ngrass, AMI that this
is correct principle, it seems strange, that
there should be question. The right Of the
people to regulate their own domestic anl local

The modern Jsphet is again on his travels
He left Boston for Bangor on the 18th
touching at various points along the coast
and making brief addresses. At Bangor,
Mr. Douglas was ''betrayed" into an hour and
ahalf speech, a rehash or former ones some
what elongated. He gloriedin being stump
Presidential candidate and in making the
negro his Presidential hobby. At Augusta,
Brunswick, and Portland, Mr.. D. also made
lengthy speeches, the negro the burden Of his
harangues to the Maine Yankees.
Candidate Douglas is about to make a
Southern electioneering tour, and viii 'qkill
twObirds with one stone" by also looking after
his pecuniary interests in slavery. These
have been largely added to of late, and the
Mobile Register, one of his ardent Alabama
supporters, expresses surprize that Southern
politicians should have any fears of the sound
ness of Mr.. Douglas on the Slavery question.
The Register finds reasons enough to support
him, and says;-eBy the death, lately, ofthe
hother Of Judge Douglas first wife, who
was Miss Martin, of North Carolina, his
two boys, his only children, came into the
possession Of large fortune consisting in
plantations and slaves. This, added to his
extensive Mississippi property, will make
Mr.. Douglas, In behalf Of his children, one of
the largest sIaUs os0Rers Of the South. How a
man who has twice selected a Southern lady
for his wife, the whole fortune Of whose child
ren is dependent on the perpetuity of our in
stitutions, who, in his public life has ever been
the friend, and, until quite recently, the idol
OF the South; who is almost the only northern
man Of prominence than has neUeT uttered one
cord Of dislike, much less hatred to Slavery how
such a man can be represented as a worse
enemy to slavery than Lincoln passes our
comprehension. The Judge has been sent
for by his connections in North Carolina and
viii probably visit the old North State.n

Ellis, Breckenridge Democrat has ma
jority OF 6,65o over Pool, the Bell candidate
for Governor, in North Carolina. Two years
ago, the competitor Of Gov. Ellis was D. K.
AeRae, also a Democrat and his majority
then affords no fair test of the relative
strength of parties. In the Congressional
contest Of last year the party lines were
closely drawn, and the Democratic majority
in the State was $50 The Opposition gain
on that contest is but 800, and scarcely casts
a doubt on the success of the Breckenridge
ticket in November.
The question whether slave property shall
continue, ss now, exempt from taxation, en-
tered considerably into the late election, and
must prove a disturbing element in North
Carolina in the future. The returns Of the
late election show that in the eastern large
slaveholding counties, where whites and
blacks are nearly equal in numbers, the
Democratic majOrities are not only large but
largely increased; that in the five populous
counties in the centre Of the State, where the
whites outnumber the slaves two to one, the
vote is about equally divided; while the
Populous western counties, with $4,000 free
inhabitants to 5000 slaves give very large
majorites and large gains to the Opposition.
Slave exemption from tax lists operates
