a right, to establish a monarchy, or a
dukedem, OF an irresponsible popedom, in
either OF the territories, makes himself very
absurd, to say the least. Congress must do
what the constitution requires, and to this its
action should be confined. Then, with the
people in the territories free from the night
mare of executive encroachment, and entirely
free to choose their own own officers and make
their own laws, we shall have there that con-
stitutiooal popular sovereignty, which is the
lite and glory of the republic NOT the eccer-
trio individualism of Rousseau's Social Con-
tract" but that true and harmonious freedom
which was the ideal of our republican fathers
In this country popular sovereignty is the
rule. 1t is recognized in the organization OF
all our political institutions, and necessarily
must be the ultimate authority on all political
questions. The authority and power of the
| people work by certain established methods,
which chasten and regulate their operation;
so it has been ordained by the people them
selves. Yet while the popular forces are COM
PEELED to work more by thoughtful criticism
| by wild gusts and storms OF passion, they work
surely, finally shaping and controlling every.
thing. There may be persons in the coun-
| try who would rejoice to see the authority of
the people discredited and set aside in favor Of
some old world despotism but not many
such are likely to make public declaration of
their sentiments.

A WATER SPoUT--OT something very much
like it, came down on Newburyport, Tuesday
evening about O'Clock A few minutes pre-.
yious the heavens presented very curious
phenomenon of clouds and oolors. From the
west rose up masses of seemingly light mist,
Of a color which can only be compared to the
smoke of some chemicals-a mixture of yell
low, green, buff slate and black, mingled in
the most extraordinary manner. Overhead
there seemed 10 be an angry strife between
this rolling, variegated mass, and the dark,
black clouds that extended to within ten degrees
of the horizon. These ten degrees were blue
of the most unmistakable character We do
not mean blue sky, but blue clouds. We have
never heard OF such clouds before, and if any
"clerk of the weather" has recorded them in
years gone by, we should like to hear from
him. There was, however, very little time
TO investigate this phenomenon, for thirty sec.
onds had not elapsed before a torrent of water
poured from the warning clouds. So sudden
was it, that hundreds were surprised in the
streets without GOment's warning. One par.
ty of ladies and gentlemen, at the corner of
Essex and State streets, were looking at the
clouds when one remarked-"Se See how trains"
and, to show the suddenness OF the descending
rain, the whole party took to their heels and
ran with might and main for Mr. Caldwel's
drug store, a distance of forty feet The rain
hit the hindmost 1t came in a straight line
down State street, and for thirty minutes the
machinery OF several factories might have been
turned by the water that washed through gut
tiers and over sidewalks After the storm sub
sided, the rays of the setting sun lit up the
western clouds with glory indispensable.
We are neither inspired, nor Shakespeare,
and therefore we will not attempt that sunset

Political.

Andre Froment, somewhat noted as Tam
many politician, delegate to Charleston, etc.
has been removed from place he had held in
the New York post office for seven years, for
going in too strong for Douglas, whom lie had
helped to nominate. He had but one hours
notice to quit.
Mr.. Douglas was hung in effigy at Somer-
set on Wednesday morning, at an early hour
The site selected by the hangmen was
near the location of the new Douglas and
johnson flag in that town.
| The democrats in Indiana who sustain the
Breckenridge ticket held a ratification meeting
at indianapolis, Tuesday, at which Senator
Fitch made the following references to Mr.
Douglas -
"'The Baltimore convention that nominated
him was rightly denominated the 'Rump con-

When they were drunkest they were hottest
for Douglas. When they got little sober,
then they were seized suddenly with slight
conversation, and tried trading with other can.
didates and better platform. They were
doing nothing but gambling for the offices and
drinking they begged leave to retire from the
conservatism to consult and drink they came
back into it to ask leave to retire again to
drink and consult. People might think he
was actuated by personal feeling, because
Douglas had interfered to prevent him from
taking his seat in the senate. He could as

Douglas had tried to secure the return to the
senate OF one black republican and one pohti-

SHOCKING ABUSE OF AN ORPHAN Boy

tend to one John Blake, of West Day, Tor gross
cured from the Utica Orphan Asylum, lately.
The lad was but II years of age, and was COM
PEELED to work from A. M. till p. NJ, fed on
two or three potatoes and piece of johnny
cake per day, and to feed in the barn, and also
to eat chip-monks and mice, which he was di.
rected to catch. The barn floor was his bed.
He was punished by being tied by his hands
to the rounds Of a ladder, by being drenched
with buckets of water, &C. OF course all this
brutality was tending to the death of the lad.
The neighbors became aware of it and took
him from the man. Subsequently warrant
was taken out for Blake, but he had fled.

The ETIQUETTE OF RELIGIoN.-There is
trouble among the different religious bodies
at st. John, N. b., touching the precedence
TO be given them at the reception of the prince.
The Presbyterians have addressed to the
colonial secretary letter concerning the
precedence that would be given to religious
bodies in the presentation OF addresses, re.
ceived for reply that the Church of England
stood first and the Church of Rome next The
Presbyterians at once took fire, threatening to
wash their hands of the whole concern.
What will be the upshot is not known 1t
appears that the precedence given to the
Roman Catholics, after the Church of Eng.
land, is not merely an imperial regulation,
but is also founded on an enactment of the
legislature OF the province.

BASE BALL-We understand shat the New
Workers decline playing match game with
the Upton base ball club. Probably on account
of the expenditure of time and money which
they would have to make in order to come
here, as well as to their objection to playing
any but the New York game 1t is reported,
we hope with truth, that the Upton club have
