CHAPTER XIV.

Douglas rotes against Popular Sovereignty.
Trumbulls amendment-iD Senate, July I'd
1856.
"ARd be it further enacted, That the provis-
ions of the "Act to organize the Territories OF
Nebraska and Kansas. which declares it to be
the true intent and meaning of said Act mot
legislate slavery into any Territory or State,
nor to exclude 1t therefrom, but to leave the
people thereof perfectly free from and regulate
their domestic institution of the United States,
was intended TO and does confer upon or leave
to the people of the Territory of Kansas full
power at any time through its Territorial Leg
islature, TO exclude slavery from said territory
or to recognize and reglateit theirin"
The vote stood-yeas IL, nays "a, Mr.. Doug
las voting in the negative.
CHAPTER XV.
Douglas defends the Border Ru6fans.
"The natural consequence was that immedi-
ate steps were taken by the people of the wes-
tern counties of Missouri to stimulate, organ
lze and carry into effect system of emigration
similar to that of the Massachusetts Emigrant
AID Company, for the avowed purpose of coun-
teracting the effects and protecting themselvt s
and their domestic institutions from the eonse-
quence of that Company s operations. The
material difference in the character of the two
rival and Conflicting movement consits in the
fact that the one had its Origin IN an AGGRSSIVE'

Now, does SrErHEN A. DouoLAs deserv,
any other fate at the hands Of the American
peoplei Was it not STEPHEN A. DouoLA,
that prccipitated on this country that unnec
essary and uncalled for agitation Of the sls,
very question, by the passage of the infa.
nous Nebraska bill, which resulted in de.
stroying the harmony and good feeling
existing between the North and South, and
involving the country in fruitless and angry
discussions, which, per q, made the plains Of
Kansas the scene Of civil war, and which
resulted in aepriving her citizens, even to
this day, Of the rights and privileges Justly
theirs' In heart and principle, Mr. Douc-
LAS is as thoroughly pro-slavery as the most
rabid southern fire-eater. His boosted prin-
ciple Of Squatter Sovereignty, however well
it may sound to the popular ear, in its prac-
tical workings, is the greatest misnomer in
existence; and what more could be expected
from it, when its author publicly declares, " l
care not whether slavery be voted down or
up" and that his doctrine Of Squattcr Sow
ereignty had "given to slavery an area Of
territory five and half times larger than the
State Of New York" But perhaps the best
proof of his position towards the North is
contained in a speech delivered by him in
the Senate last winter, the substance of which
is the following:
I. It is the duty Of Congress to inquire
whether the causes which led to the Harper's
Ferry outrage "aYe get in actiue operation.
ii. "The Harper's Ferry crime was the
natural, logical, inevitable result of the doc
trines and teachings of the Republican party
III. It is the duty of Congress to punish
the INTENT as well as the act
Nv. The holding and proclaiming the doc
trines of the Republican party are the intent
tojnvade State, and should Be punished by
indictment and conviction in the Federal
Courts.
Mr.. DOUGLAS, when he uttered the above
attrocious sentiments, knew perfectly well
that the Republican party denounced the
john BRowN raid, and neither countenanced
or approved Of it in, any manner. What
other man would have dared to stand up and
boldly and unblushingly proclaim that it was
the duty of the Government to crush out and
extirpate the Republican party by civil en-
actmentss Such is the man the Northern
Democracy have brought forth as their can
didate for the Presidency. Tickle, headstrong,
and treacherous, the South will not trust him,
or the North support him, and the 9Th of
November viii dawn upon him the worst
whipped man that ever ran for the Presidency.

In the Bank Of England no less than sixty
folio volumes, or ledgcrs, are daily filled with
writing in keeping the accounts! To pro-

been previously manufactured elsewhere,

eight thousand bank notes are thrown off

Speaking of Douglas, the Memphis Aca-
lanche says:

affairs believes him sincere? What pledge
what security have we that he will not betray
as, as he has done upon another occasion

Iowa CATTLE IN New YoRK MARKET
Among the droves of cattle noticed in the
New York market on the 9th inst, are the
following from Iowa: +. NJ. Vail g.; Har-
ing 4 Miller 80; A. M. Conrad 65; Pierson
& Co. 10l; j. Watson 48: H. r. Smith
I58; j. Bush "a; in all 4S8. This speaks
pretty well for Iowa as stock raising State.
Th, whole number of cattle in market on
the day referred to was 1888. Iowa, it will
be perceived, furnished nearly one-fifth Of
the whole number. This is really enconrag-
ing to stock raisers in this State.

Douglas and His Chances Of Election.

The friends and supporters of this gentle
man seen to be possessed of political hallu.
cination that is indeed pitiable, when they
attempt to figure their fayorite into the Pres
idential chair. let any man set down and
candidly investigate the matter, and if he will
allow himself to be convinced, he must come
to the conclusion that Mr. DOUGLAS has not
even the shadow of chance. It is not reas-
able to suppose that the Republican party
have lost single iota of the strength they
had in the campaign of 1855; on the other
hand it is fact well known to every man
ccnversant with the political history of the
country for the last four years, that the Re
publican party during all this time have been
steadily increasing in numbers and influence.
For proof of this, we have but to refer to
State elections, and to the steady increase OF
Republican strength in both branches Of Con-
gress. Districts that were overwhelmingly
Democratic in 1856, are now as strong the
other way. Let Pennsylvania, Indiana, and
Illinois, answer for the truth of this state
ment. Is it not an absolute certainty that
LINCOLN will carry every State that FRExoSr
did? To elect our candidate we need 152
electoral votes; we gave Fremont ia, to
which may be added four votes from Mime
sofa "a new State), making ll8 in all. To

WHAr THE NEW YORK HERALD THINKS
The New York Herald formally proclaims
the death of its party. It does not hesitate
to assert that the selfish and facetious course
of Douglas has caused the division Of the De-
mocracy. and that the disruption at BaIh-
more is the funeral knell of that once-power-
AL party.
It predicts tho consequences namely -
the triumph of the Republicans the election
ef Lincoln, Republican Congress, Repub-
1can administration" And it says it has no
Ears for the Union in that event, either.

Mass Meeting at st. Charles.

We learn that the largest and most en-
thusiastic gathering ever held in the upper
portion Of the Cedar Valley gathered togeth-
er last Tuesday At St. Charles, to ratify the
nominations and endorse the principles of
the Republican party. We have not as yet
received the st. Charles paper, and therefore
cannot give full particulars but we are in
formed that the assemblage was numbered
by thousands; that that whole section Of
country was represented for more than 80
miles around. According to previous ar
rangements the representatives of the diff.
ferent localities all met together at . spot
agreed on, short distance out of the town,
where the it cizens of st. Charles met them
and escorted them into town. The process
sion was over mile long. There were six
or seven six-horse teams, any amount Of four
horse teams, snd one wagon in the process
sion was drawn by thirteen yoke of oxen
The people from each village or township
had their own flag, inscribed with appropri.
ate mottos. They had speakers, the names
of whom we were unable to learn. Taking
into consideration the population Of that re.
gion, As well as that large majority are far.
mcrs, who are generally very busy At this
time of year, it was tremendous gathering.
Since the above was put in type VIC learn
that among the speakers present on this &C.
casion, were NOBLE Of McGregor, NEwcoxH
of West Union, and FAIRBANKS of st. Charles.
