A Candid Admission.

The New York Times, whose editor is a
leading Republican Of the State, the bosom
friend of Senator Seward, and himself
formerly Republican Lieutenant Governor,
makes the following candid admission of
the great strength of the Democratic posi-
ton in the present campaign:
"But aside from personal characteristics,
Mr.. Douglas is the champion of Popular
Sovereignty; and whether that doctrine
finds any warrant in the constitution, in
legal precedents, in the opinions of the
fathers or not, it has very str ong hold
upon the popular instinct. The great mass
Of people in all sections, whatever may be
their opinions upon the legal validity, re-
cognize it as fair, just and safe way of
solving very difficult problem. Let the
people of every territory decide for them
selves whether they will have slavery among
them or not. Let Congress and the Fed
eral government abandon all attempts either
to force upon them, or prohibit them ad-
hitting it; this, if not the highest constitu-
tional ground, is ground which satisfies the
instinct of nine-tenths of the American
people. The truth is, the slavery question
will be settled on this basis, whatever party
NAV come into power. This is, under any
circumstances, to be the practical solution
of the difficulty"
The weekly pioneer and Democrat. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1855-1865, 1860-08-10

Having row ascertaine1 Mr.. Lincoln's
position, let it now be contrasted with that
of Mr.. Clay. During the session OF Con-
gress of 1890, Maine and Missouri were
both applying for admission into the
Union. A great party in the north opposed
the admission of Missouri, unless slavery was
prohibited. To set off this, the Southern
members opposed the admission of Maine as
Free State, unless Missouri was admitted
as a Slave State. Mr.. Clay was of the
number insisting upon the admission OF Mis-
souri, as Slave State. ....t.+'
He thought that Maine ought to be admitted
into the Union he thought the same OF Mis-
souri, and, although he might be forced to
withhold his assent to the admission OF Maine,
if a majority of this House should (Which he
trusted they would not) IMPOSE UNCoNsTITU.
TIoNAL RESTRICTIONS on the admission OF Mis-
souri,, he should do it with great reluctance
Canals of Congress, 1890, p. 842
Again Mr.. Clay says:
But, before it was finally acted upon, he
wished to know, he said, whether certain doc.
trines of an alarming character-which ifperse.
vered in, no man could tell where they would
end-with respect to restriction on the ad
mission into the Union of States west OF the
Mississippi, were to be sustained on this floor.
-[Annals Cong, 1890, p. s3l.]
In the year previous to this, this question
came up in another form.
Mr.. Tallmadge moved an amendment, to
limit the existence of slavery in the new State,
by declaring all free who should be born in the
Territory after its admission into the Union.
and providing for the gradual emancipation of
those now held in bondage. Annals of Cong,
1888, p. 1861
1t was opposed by Mr.. Clay. In writing
to Mr.. VIM. S. Woods, July l6, 1885, Mr..
Clay says:
To all this we replied that the General Gov
eminent had nothing to do with the subject of
slavery, which belongs exclusively to the
States; that they alone were to judge of the
evil and the remedy.
In 1850 Mr.. Soule offered an amendment
to the Compromise resolutions, as follows:
And when the said Territory, or any portion
of the same, shall be admitted as State, it
shall be received into the Union WITH OR WITH
OUT SLAVERY, as the Constitution may prescribe
at the time Of the admission. Il Globe, VOL Fl,
pit. 2, p. 1891
Mr.. Clay voted in favor of the amend
ment 10 be continued.

THE WEEKLY PIONEER AND DEMOCRAT

speakers of the South, / am at perfect
loss to imagine what subjects his friends in
the north find to talk about. Do your
Minnesota boilers know in whose footsteps
they are following? Are they aware of
the name of their " illustrious predecessor ?"
The event occurred many years ago-long
before Old Joe Lane and bis Indiana regi-
ment seeded from the battle ground of
Buena Vista. In the language Of cele.
brated Tennessee stump orator, the first
boiler was Lucifer-he bolted from Heaven,
landed fiat footed in hell-and before the
ides of November every Yanceyite in the
country will wish he was there with him !"
In this State the seceders will probably
draw off enough votes to give the electoral
vote to Bell, though the Democrats, or at
least many of them, feel confident that
Douglas will carry the State by
handsome majority. This Congressional
district will give him an immense vote
nine-tenths OF the Democracy being for him.
Mr.. Breckenridge would have received, the
day after his nomination, twice as many
votes throughout the South as be could
possibly obtain to-day. His strength is
decreasing very rapidly indeed, and Douglas
stock is rising every hour. The authenti-
Gated fact that Mr.. B. refused to support
Cass and Butler, and made several speeches
in favor of Taylor, is doing him and his
cause much harm, and when the campaign
fairly opens, and the Douglas electors COM
mence speaking to and travelling among the
people, secession stock will be flatter than
shares in Shayenne city.
I've almost unconsciously written you a
much longer letter than intended when l
commenced, and fearing you may be tired
Of reading, III close by expressing an earnest
wish that the gallant Democracy of Mime
sofa, with Douglas and johnson as their
standard bearers, and under the lead of your
popular orators, will, in the coming pOliti-
cal battle, march on to a glorious victory.
With such great and good men for your
candididates-suchl leaders to eloquently ad
vocate your cause-and the great principle
of "non-intervention" blazoned upon your
banners, there's no such word as fail"
IT'S fight between the people and the poll
ticians, and God grant that the people may
prove victorious.
With respect, your friend,

FROM PIXIES PEAK.
FORMATION OF A VIGILANCE COMMITTEE
AT DENVER CITY.

ST. JOSEPH, July 81, 1860.
The Pixies Peak express, with dates to
July 23d, arrived here this evening, bring
ing the following items of news:
DENVER Cry, July ga shooting af-
fray occurred at California gulch last week,
resulting in the death of a man named
Smith, from Burton county, Arkansas, while
in the pursuit of his wife, who had run
away with a man named Curtis. Smith
shot at Curtis, missing him and wounding
his wife. Curtis returned the fire, killing
Smith instantly.
Pat Devlin, notorious in the Fort Scott
difficulties in eastern Kansas and Joseph
Laferty, had shooting ARRAY in Colorado
City, last Saturday, in which Devlin re-
ceived six balls from Lafferty's pistol. The
latter was tried by peoples court and a
verdict of justiiable homicide was returned.
Last evening an auctioneer named M.
Hadly, who has wife and two children in
Galesburg, Illinois, was accidently shot and
killed by a barkeeper named VIM. Bates,
formerly of Chicago, but recently from
Rock Island. Bates is in custody.
Jas. Gordon, formerly from Boston, but
lately from Nebraska, who has hitherto en-
joyed the reputation of peaceable man,
shot barkeeper one night last week while
on spree, wounding him in the leg. Later
in the night he attacked young German in
a saloon, and after maltreating him blew
his brains out. Next morning meeting
of the citizens was called, and nearly 81, 900
raised, and parties sent out in all directions
in pursuit of Gordon, who was discovered
entrenched within party of friends at Fort
Lupton, twenty-five miles down the Platte.
He finally made his escape after having his
horse shot and being himself wounded.
A. j. Williams, President of the Denver
City Town Company, and DR.. Kennedy, of
this city, were found at Fort Lupton, and
are under arrest for assisting Gordon to
escape. They were old friends of Gordon,
and say they were sent for to meet him there
and take charge Of his papers, as he ex-
pected to be shot or hung.
One party, in looking for Gordon, came
upon another party, who, feeling themselves
guilty, fled for the river. Jesse Ogden es>
capped by swimming the river. Frank Null
ligan, in attempting the same was drowned.
Sam Dunn was taken prisoner, with three
mules and some arms. Ogden and Multi
gan were from Wisconsin, and Dunn from
Champaign county, Ill. Dunn says the
mules were stolen as the only means by
which they could get back to the States.
THERE'S vigilance committee organized
in this city, composed of the best and most
prominant law-abiding citizens, who are
bound by oath to sustain each other in fer
retiDg out and bringing to punishment the
murderers and thieves by whom this county
is Eow Overrun.

TIE Prince of Wales arrived at st. John.

The Prince of Wales arrived at St. John.
N. B., on the I'd inst. He proceeded to
his temporary residence, between files of
men, extending a mile, composed of military,
fire companies, Societies, both Houses of
Parliament, &c. After he passed, both
ranks formed a procession, with banners
flying, while the bells of the city were ring
ing. Inside the gate were 1000 school
children, the girls in white, and the boys in
black, who sang the national anthem, and
streamed boquets on the roadway. All the
time the streets were crowded, the shops
closed, and the shipping dressed with flags.
