Stephen in Search of his Mother.


PLAIyTIvE PoNE, BY soUIBoB.
Why did down to Hartford go?
Twas not my squatter self to show;
went to hunt, told you so,
My Mother.
To Wooster, Boston, Bunker Hill,
Cambridge, Charlestown, Springfield, yet still
Invent to search, with a good viii,
My Mother.
To clam-bake down in Rhody State,
Throughout Vermont and Maine, my fate
Was hunting thee early and late,
Ny Mother.
HUNTED for thee North and South,
With open eyes and Gaping mouth, -ar1i
Through heat and cold, the rain and drouth,
My Mother.
Vain at every railroad station,
Was my usual proclamation
Made by me before the nation,
Ny Mother.
That was only hunting thee,
The people said they came to see,
And would not let me silent be-
Ny Mother.
But out of me they would betray, -ss-
That same old speech from day to day,
And keep me from thee long away,
e Ny Mother. s1
At length hope shall thee find,
For thou hast been useful blind, $50
That might often speak my mind,

The people have been fooling me,
l must in shame take leave Of thee,

Court, and the heresies of the apostate
Democracy on the subject.

We have demonstrated in previous
numbers, that Douglas and his faction,
have at length, and in their desperate
desire to secure votes in the Slave
States, unqualiiedly, adopted the fol-
lowing dogmas of the Slave Power:
That the Federal Constitution by it's
own provisions, carries slavery into
evry territory of the United States.
That it does this by making slaves
absolutely property, and placing them
upon the same footing in all respects
as any other personal property; and
that, therefore neither Congress nor any
Territorial Legislature has any power
to exclude slavery from a Territory.
That the Federal Supreme Court
has exclusive jurisdiction for determin-
ing these questions, in other words, for
deciding whether slavery may or not
be established in the territories; and
that, therefore, upon its decision in
favor of slavery, it will be the Consti-
tional duty of Congress to provide for
its protection in each territory; in 9th
err words, to enact such a "Slave
Coden as shall be sufficient to secure
10 slave holders their rights to and over
their slaves A. such constitutional
property.
These dogmas were substantially
expressed by Judge fancy in the vol
unteered prstences { false, as we shall
see,) with which be accompanied the
decision of the court in the bred Scott
case. In the report of the case in the
10th volume of Towards u. S. Court
Reports, page s95, they win be foand
stated as follows:
E'uery citizen has rightto take Nth
him into the Territories any article of
property schich the Constitution of the
United States recognizes as property.
The Constitution Of the United
States RECOGNIZES SLAVES AS PROPER
TY, AND PLEDGES THE FEDERAL Gov
ERNMENT TO PROTECT 1T. And Con-
gress cannot exercise any more anthor-
ity over property of that description
than it may constitutionally exercise
over property of any other kind.
The act of Congress, therefore,
prohibiting citizen of the United
States taking with them his slaves when
he removes to a territory to reside, is
an act Of authority over private prop
erty which is not warranted by the
Constitution.
While it remains a territory, Con-
gress may legislate over it within the
scope Of its Constitutional powers in
relation to citizens Of the United States,
and may establish territorial govern
mont, and the form of this local gov
eminent must be regulated by the d.
rection of Congress; 6ast pith po,cers
not ercesding those sohich Congress it.
SELF by the Constitution Is authorized
to exercise oyer citizens Of the United
States IN respect to thsirrights Of prop
erty."

Cass County Democratic Convention.

lass CouHty DCmoCidtAC COAtcuSOHs
Or Saturday, August 81, 1860, the
National Democracy of Cass County
Michigan, met at Gantt's Hall, in the
Village of Dowagiac, and organized
by calling Dr. George w. Fosdick to
the Chair, and appointing H. L. Burk,
Secretary.
The object of the meeting having
been explained by the Chair, on motion
of S. N. CAN'T, Esq, the following
named gentlemen were appointed Del
egates to the State Convention of the
29th instant, at Detroit, to nominate a
Presidential Electoral ticket, viz:
A. B. Hale, his alternate, William
Champ; Baltzer Lybrook, his alternate,
]. S. Bagg; John G. Howard, his al
ternate, G. O'Flynn; Henry Leader,
his alternate, ]. III. Harmon.
On motion, the Chair appointed S.
N. CAN'T, John L. Burk, Samuel Arens,
A. B. Hale, B. Lybrook and o. f.
Clendenen, Committee on resolutions,
who reported the following, which were
unanimously adopted:
ResolUed That we heartily approve of the Ma
tional Democratic nominations of Hon. John G.
Breckenridge, for President, and Gen'l ]. H. Lane,
for Vice President, aud we do subscribe to the
broad national principles contained in the Cincin-
natl and Baltimore Platforms
Res0L0ed, That the morality or wisdom of SLAVE
RY is consideration belonging to the people of
the Territories, when they form their State Consti-
tuition. That what enrches part, enrlches the
whole; and the States and the Territories are the
best Judges of their particular interests.
Res0l0ed, That we have no confidence in the pol
icy principles of the so called Republican Party
of Michigan.
That the michigan Liquor Law" is unconst-
tutional, and not having accomplished anything
but mischief, ought to be repealed. Tf7
That the increase in expenditures of the State
have far exceeded the increase in population; and
that the State expenditures for the five years from
1854 amounts to the large of 49, 529, 476 II,
while under democratic rule for the five years pre-
ceding 1854, the entire cost of Administration was
only $3.50, OPS 6S; showing unprecedented extrava-
gance, wild and reckless administration, If not
corrupt one.
Resolged, That sound policy would seem to die
tate that the national democracy, relying upon the
business of their cause and the nationality of their
principles, SnOuu enter INTO no enIanglng allldn-
with other parties, but bide their time.
ResOEred, That County Convention be held in
Gantt's Hall, in Dowagiac, on Saturday, the 29tb
day of September next, at noon, to make out nomi
nations for Cass County, if it is then deemed ad-
visable.
ResoIUed, That the newspapers, of this County
be and are requested to publish these proceedings
and that the same be published in the Detroit Dam
ocrat. and the New York Day Book Adjourned
and signed. GEO. w. FOSDICK, Chm.
III. L. BURK, Sec'y.

Correspondence of the Chicago Press.
URBANA, ILL.,, Aug. 10, 1860.
The Catholic congregation of this
place is now destitute of regularly
settled pastor, but the vacancy is sup
piled by occasional visits from priest
living in Kankakee. Yesterday this
priest visited the congregation and in
formed them in his sermon that Mr..
Douglas was Catholic and that they,
tho voters, must all support him as such.
Catholics who, no longer ago than Sat
urday, were undetermined as to their
vote, this morning declare themselves
for Douglas, and assign as reason the
assurances of their priest, that Douglas
is with them in the Popish faith.
Respectfully, ]. o. C.

The lato Hon. Horace Mann once
propheticalIy said, "God had his wrath
bottled up for such men, and In his
own time would pour it out on them. "
We do not wonder at these tyrades
against us when we remember that
their leader, Stephen A. Douglas, wan
ted to array the whole Republican par
ty as insurrectionists, and law passed
by which they could choose their own
cells and drag out miserable life in a
dungeon. Great God Americans,
if this doctrine of Mr.. Douglas could
have been carried out as he contem-
plated, it would have desolated nearly
two thirds of the farms in Michigan.
Manufactures and Railroads would
have been broken up, aye the misery
and disgrace of such law in this gov
eminent as contemplated by Mr.. Doug
las, is out of my reach of description.
What man can entertain for moment
the abridgement of speech and press
guarantees of the federal constitution
of discussion, and those
to be disseminated through
out the land by the conduits of intel
ligenoe, the Postofice.
Man may as well try to obliterate
the sun and the day, for such inquisi-
tons has passed. But if the republican
party was out of the way, Douglas could
walk up to the presidency with perfect
ease which would prove a doleful vic
tory, with more than half Of the peo-
pie imprisoned of the free States, by
The operation of an inquisitorial law
contemplated, agitated, and defended

but never word for johnson. Why

the ticket, and entitled to an equal share
of praise and endorsement. ~

Sovereignty" it implied direct denial
of Taney's bred Scott dogmas, and
was SO far calculated to damage him in
the Slave States. To avert such dam
age, he traversed the Slave States on his
way to Washington, land in his speeches
at New Orleans and other places along
the line of his pilgrimage, renewed
before the foul and bloody affairs of
the Slave Power, his vows of craven
allegiance and his confessions of
faith" in language such as we have
quoted.
Douglas has, then, for himself fully,
expressly, unquali6edIy and publicly
adopted the dogmas in question. He
in common with Roger B. fancy, aud
the endorsers generally of the JEFF. Da-
Wis and Herschell ". johnson version
of the bred Scott decision, pretend
that these dogmas are based upon ex-
press provisions of the Federal Con-
stitution. fancy himself in the course
of his falsi6cations of history and law,
with which bis pettyfogying "opinion"
in the case, are embellished, even ven
lures upon the bold claim that the
dogrnas are "clearly and expressly"
contained in the constitution.
How utterly and shamelessly false
all these pretences are, will be shown
hereafter.

done in order to prevent the jails and
poor house of the county from being
filled with them. This too is without
foundation or precedent.
Then the Democrat gives us touch
of his non-intervention, that he speaks
of, under the head of a "Negro Cele-
bration," in this wise.
cat the same time, we must declare
it to be our belief that the true interest
of our State and County require the
passage of law preventing them from
coming among us"
Beautiful non-intervention, how true
the maxim-aohons the Gods aoould
destroy, the first make mad.
There never was a set of men on this
earth so fully imbibed with the dogmas
of their leader, as those Douglasites,
Stephen A, after he had relieved the
Territories of Kansas and Nebraska of
all the sovereignty they had, beloved
out non-intervention. Though the
principle is the same, and / suppose
the Cass bugle forgot its prompting,
and blowed out non-intervention first,
and then hollow for Intervention. Con-
sistency where art thou?
The democratic orators and papers
justifies slavery because it was entailed
upon them by their forefathers. Cen
tlemen, they entailed upon you free ne
groes too, and system of making more
free. The father had free negroes in
every State in this Union, but no pro-
scriptive mock law 10 exclude and re-
ject them. The principles of exclusion,
rejection and inquisatorial, are of your
own mandatory.
