TERRITORIAL SOVEREIGNTY.

The doctrine of Popular Sovereignty, as
snunciated in the Cincinnati Platform, means
The power of the people Of the Territories to
control their own affairs, and mould their own
institutions, Sin their own way" subject only
to the Constitution Of the United States. This
point is undisputed. There can be no question
about it. But there seems to be some differ
cnce of opinion between leading Democrats as
to whether the Constitution prohibits the peo-
pie Of the Territories from deciding the aues-
ton whether or not, negro slavery shall exist
within the Territory. 1t is moi disputed bg
either side that the people OF the Territory
have the right to determine this question for
themselves when they come to form their con-
stitution, preparatory to their admission into
the Unioa ss State. Neither is it coutenaed
by either party that slaves cannot lawfully be
taken into the Territories and held there as
property. The difference, however, consists ia
this, that Senator Douglas and those who CO.
incide with him, maintain that though the
stakeholder may take bis slaves INTO the Terri
tories, he can hold them there only at the will
of the Territorial Legislature, which by indi-
rect, unfriendly enactments, or by positive
prohibitions, can exclude slavery from the Ter

RECIPE FOR BLAKBERRY WINE.-As this
is the blackberry season, we publish this recipe
for the manufacture of the wine:
There is no wine equal to blackberry vine,
when properly made, either in favor or medical
purposes, and all persons who can conveniently
DO so should manufacture enough for their ewn
use every year, as it is invaluable in sickness
as tonic, and nothing is better remedy for
bowel diseases. We therefore give the receipt
for making it, aud having tried it ourselves, we
speak adVsedly on the subject. Measure your
berries and bruise them; to every gallon ad-
ding on quart of water. Let the mixture
stand twenty-four hours, stirring occasionally;
then strain off the liquid into cask; to every
gallon adding two pounds of sugar; cork tight
aud let it stand till the following October, and
you will have wine ready for use, without furth-
er strainiog or boiling, that will make lips
smack that never smacked under similar lufu-
euces before. Itmay be improved, and perhaps
will keep better, by adding small quantity of
pure French brandy.

BETS ON THE ELECTION. The New York
Heraid's Washington correspondent gives a
lively account of the way the nominations were
received at the Federal Capitol. There, as
elsewhere, both parties commenced their game
of brag, which is the only game they under
stand. The following is the way they 'tdrap.
ped .
"Mr. W., distinguished Pennsylvania,
asserted that Douglas would carry that State
by fifty thousand majority. Mr.. b., an equal
ly distinguished Breckinridge man from Mas
psachusetts, offered to bet one dollar on each
vote that be would not The Douglasite cayed.
An 0regonian boasted that Douglas would
carry Oregon. A Breckenridge mao offered to
bet that Breckenridge and Lane would carry
more of their States than Douglas aud Fitz-
patrick would or theirs. Douglasite refused.
An Illinoisan offered to bet $4,000 that
Douglas would carry Illinois. An Ohio Re-
publican accepted the bet, and proposed 10 put
forfeiture of 900 until tomorrow, when
the remainder would be deposited, but illi-
noisan thought he saw rail, and declined. =
A NJ. G. of New-York, offered to bet an in
definite sum that Douglas would carry his
State, whereupon a Maryland Breckenridge
man said he would bet $4,000 that Lincoln
would carry Illinois aud New York. New
Yorker backed down. These are only specI-
mems of the kind of betting that has been 60
ing on here to-day, but it is singuarly true
that II is true reflex of the confidence mani
tested by the different men for their favorite
candidates"
Bedford inquirer. [volume] (Bedford, Pa.) 1857-1884, 1860-08-03
A MEAN CANDIDATE.

! To show what kind Of man Joe Lane, the
| Administration candidate for Vice President,
is, we take the following extract from speech
delivered by him at the Breckinridge Rati6caa
ton Meeting, in Philadelphia. Here is the
passage reported ve,batim:
A voice-How did Lincoln vote at the time
of the Mexican wara
Gen. Lane-I'll tell you. While your hum
bic servant was having bis arm almost sharter-
ed to pieces, and while other good soldiers of
this State were battling in defence Of your
country's honor, Lincoln was over in Washing
ton voting against supplies for the army
[Laughter.] didn't say 'fr;end,' did /! I'll
take that back; for it was you alluded to,
when said friends-for you are not only
friends, but you are patriots, aud you are law
abiding, good citizens, that am proud to meet
that am delighted to have this opportunity
to see and to speak to-; and if it was any other
occasion than this--if it wasn't on the ticket
with that gallant, noble, and generous, gifted
man, Breckinridge-I would say much more
in his favor,
To show up this deliberate he, uttered by
this would-be Vice President, we need only
1NpJ hbO NAhtaOb nun uS~
livered by Senator Douglas, in the Illinois Sen.
atorial canvass of 1858, wherein he makes this
candid admission:
81 never charged him with voting against
the supplies in my life, because 4 kneaU that he
teas not in Congress achen they acsre rOfed.--
The war was commenced on the 18th day of
May, 1916, and on that day We appropriated
In Congress ten millions of dollars and fifty
thousand men to prosecute It, During the
same session we voted more men and more mon
ey, SO that, by the time Mr. Lincoln entered
Congress, We had enough n.en and money to
carry ou the var, and had no occasion to vote
for any more"
This clears Lincoln of the false charge Lane
has truDped up against him, and unless Lane
does not read the current literature oe the day,
and especially that relative to national politics,
be could not be ignorant that what he was say
ing was unfoundcd. The man that would stoop
to utter so deliberate falsehood is unworthy
of the support Of any honest man of any party
the uigger-driyipg Democracy not excepted.
This seems TO be the opinion of the people of
Oregon, for 1T is admitted on all hands that
the recent election in that State has closed Up
his career in the United States Senate. He is
"dead dog" and has met a well-deserved
fate.

The Charleston .Msrcury is sery greatly dis
gusted at the attempt made in various quarters
to represent the Democratic party rs Ma
f'oaat organization. 1t says:
The afectation of the disrupted Convention
clingiog to the name OF the National Demo-
cratic party. was equally absurd As Ma
tional party it had ceased to exist with the
secession Of the Southern States Both Con-
ventions became Sectional The one repre>
sented the North, the other the south. The
one aimed at a sectional domination over the
South !. the other organized to save the South
from this sectional domination looking clearly
to the alternative of independence. There
was not particle of nationality in either Con-
ventIon.

DoN'T CARE.--The Douglas men are be-,
ginning to deny that their champion ever said
he didn't care whether Slavery was voted down
or voted up. A reference to the Congressional
Globe for 1878, part /, page is. win re-
fresh thelz memories on this point They will
there read, in Mr.. Douglass speech 10 the
Senate, on the l9th of December, 1857, as
follows:
But | am told on all sides. ssOh, just wait /;
the pro-slavery clause will be voted down.
That does, not obviate any of my objections (;
it does not diminish any of them. You have
no more right to force a Free State Coustitu-
ton on Kansas than Slave State Constitution.
If Kansas wants Slave State Constitution,
she has right to it; if she wants a Free
State Constitution she has right fo IT, 1t is
none of my business which way the Slavery
clause is decided. care not schefheT IL as
voted doaon or Uoted up."

A POPULAR GANDTDATE.-In 1843 Mr.
Herschei V. johnson, the Douglas intervention
Slave Code candidate for Vice President, was
candidate for Congress in one of the districts
of Georgia, against A. Fl. Stevens and was
badly beaten by him. In 1853 be was the DEM
ocratc candidate for Governor in the same State
and was elected By only $40 majority, though
the Democrats had over $4,000 majority the
year before!
