Letter of S. w. Inge.

We have before US a copy of the letter of Col.
Inge, addressed to J. j. Papy and others, wherein
he declares himseffor the only National Demo-
cratic nominees for President and Vice Presi.
dent-Douglas and Johnson. COL Inge is an
Alabamian by birth, and formerly represented q
district of that State in Congress He was then,
and is now, a staunch States Rights Democrat
He was a member of the Cincinnati Convention,
and just previous thereto held the position of U.
S. District Attorney for the Northern District of
this State. The gentleman whose name heads
the list of names to whom Col Inges letter is
addressed, is Floridian by.birth, and an ultra
States Rights Democrat We know them both
well, having crossed the Plains with Mr.. Papy,
and served in the Cincinnati Convention with
Col. 1nge. We know them to be as true friends
to the peculiar institution" as any men that
breathe. True, they were both born and raised
a great distance from the Canada line. For
that reason they may not be quite such terrible
feeders on fire as are the leading fre-eaters of
| this State, the most of whom had the advantage
of being born in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York,
Connecticut and Massachusetts. Nevertheless,
we are quite sure they love the glorious South
| the land of their birth, the home of their kin
! dred, and the burial place of their ancestors
as much as though they were born within a
stones throw of the Canada line
We have not room for the entire letter. He
very forciby states the difference between the
two candidates and their platforms in the para
graph ensuing:
The difference in principle is radical, clear
and well-defned. Douglas maintains the time
honored Democratic doctrine of non-interven-
ton by Congress with slavery in the Territories;
Brecklnridge the Democratic heresy of
Congressional Intervention for the protection of
slavery in the Territories. One is Democratic.
the other anti-Democratic one is national, the
other sectional. Douglas faithfully and con-
sistenty represents principle of policy estab-
lished into the Democratic creed In 1s49, which
has never since been questioned or disturbed
until the present day, and the practical efficacy
of which has been demonstrated by experience
Breckenridge represents mischievous sectional
principle, solemnly abandoned by the South in
1885, and demonstrated by history to be fraught
with fatal evils to the harmony and perpetuity
Of the Union.
The Shasta courier., 1860-08-25
Then and Now.

In 1858 Mr. Douglas made his famous Free
port speech. In that speech he expressed his
belief, as lawyer, that the people of Terrific
ry have It in their power.t to exclude slavery
" have the lawful means to introduce it or ex-
clude it as they please"-let the Supreme Court
decide as it may as to the abstract question
whether slavery may may not go into Ter
ritory under the Constitution" For, says he,
''slavery cannot exist day or an hour any
where, without it is supported by local police
regulations" And ' those police regulations, ,
he continues, " can only be established By the
local Legislature, and if the people are opposed
slavery they will elect representatives to that
body who will by unfrendly legislation effect
ually prevent the introduction of it into their
midst"
The Breckinridge men profess to find in these
sentiments coed and sufficient cause to justify
them abolting-among them Milton s. La
than
Is it not passing strange that Mr. Latham did
not make this discovery little earier2 That
Freeport speech was made in 1858. Since then
Mr.. L. has been professed friend of Douglas.
Since the delivery Of that Freeport speech we
have heard Mr.. Latham speak in eloquent and
eulogistic terms of the " Little Giant" In 1859
one year after the delivery of the famous Free
port speech, Mr. Latham went all about over
this State, everywhere praising Douglas, and
calling himself a popular sovereignty, non-inter-
vention Democrat Now the doctrine of Mr.
Douglas, uttered one year before, he deems so
very dangerous that he cannot support him
even when backed by regular nomination =
We repeat, it is singular that Mr. Latham did
not make this discovery earlier by one year. 1t
is singular that he could not perceive the very
obnoxious doctrines of the Freeport speech un-
til he looked at them through the atmosphere of
Washington.

Regular Democratic Platform.
The following is the Platform adopted by

The following is the Platform adopted by the
National Democratic Convention at Charleston
Resolred, That we, the Democracy of the
Union IN Convention assembled, hereby declare
our affirmation of the resolutions unanimously
adopted and declared as platform of princi-
pies blythe Democratic Convention at Cincin-
natl ia the year 1856, believing that Democratic
| principles are Interchangeable in their nature
when applied to the same sutject matter, and
| we recommend as our only further resolutions
the following
| That inasmuch as differences of opinion exist
! in the Democratic party to the nature and
extent of the powers ofa Territorial Legislature,
and to the powers and duties of Congress,
under the Constitution of the United States,
over the institution Of slavery within the Terri
tories:
Resolred, That the Democratic party will
abide by the decision of the Supreme Court of
the United States over the institution of slavery
within the Territories.
Resolued, That it is the duty of the United
States TO afford ample and complete protection
to all its citizens at home or abroad and wheth-
er native or foreign born.
Resolved, That one of the necessities OF the
| age, in military, commercial and postal point
OF view is speedy communication between the
Atlantic and Pacific States, and the Democratic
/ party pledge such constitutional enactment as
will insure the construction of railroad to the
Pacific coast at the earliest practicable period.
ReSolUed That the Democratic party in
favor of the acquisition of the Island of Cuba,
on such terms as shall be honorable to ourselves
and just to Spain.
Res0lUed, That the enactments of State Legis-
latures to defeat the faithful execution of the
Fugitive Slave Law are hostile in character
subyersiye of the constitution and revolutionary
in their effect.
At Baltimore the Convention adopted thi:
additional resolution, making it also part O.
the regular Platform
ReSoLUed, That it is in accordance with the
Cincinnati platform, that during the existence
of Territorial Governments, the measures of re.
striction, whatever the may be, imposed by tht
Federal Constitution on the power of the Terri
torial Legislature over the subject of the do
nestle relations, as the same has been or shal
hereafter be, finally determined by the Supre.1,
Court of the United States, should be respected
by all good citizens, and enforced with prompt
ness and fidelity by every branch of the Gen
eral Government

When Doctors Disagree Who Shall De-
eide,

A few weeks since Mr.. Buchanan, the " king
bee" of the boilers, made stump speech in ia
vor of Breckenridge and Lane, wherein he sta
red that as there no regular Democratic
iaee for President, Democrats were at liberty to
support either Douglas or Breckenridge without
having their party fealty called in question:
ExGov. Weller, Senator Latham, the San Fran
cisco Federal office holders, and other pure and
patriotic cusses and political stipendiaries and
suckers of Federal pap, at once, at the bidding
of their master, cried, That's so, O, thou i'm
maculate old pub. func.'" The cry was canght
quickly by the eager ears of those waiting for
= more light in the mines. Among others, our
downtown cotemporary, the Herald heard the
cry, when up went the editors hat agap went
his mouth, and I" That's so" proclaimed his
voice. Said he in the Herald of July 2sth:
| The fact is the National Democratic Conven-
tion has made no regular nomination at all.
In the same paper, however we find an ac-
count ofa Breckenridge Club, written out by the
editor. In these proceedings we find two reso-
lutions, offered by Dr. Pelham the first of which
reads in part thus
Resolrsd, That we view John c. Breckenridge
of kentucky, and Gen. JOS Lane, of Oregon, the
regular nominees for President and Vice Presi-
dent, of the Baltimore Democratic National Con-
vention, &c.
After speeches had been made in favor ol
these resolutions by various gentlemen-the ed
itor of the Herald among them-we are inform
ed by the editor himself that ''they were adopted
unanimously" Thus we find that in club
meeting he solemnly votes that Breckenridge
and Lane are the regular nominees, and in hi;
paper few days after declares that the No.
tional Democratic Convention " had made nc
regular nomination at all"
Which of these assertions does he wish tc
be understood as his real belief? 1t is impossi.
Bile to believe both. AS an editor he says there
is no regular candidate. As a club member and
orator he says there IS q regular candidate

racy of Shasta county to assemble in the re-
spectiye precincts on Saturday, the 25th day OF

Resolued, 4th. That we recommend to the
judges of election to invite all national, Union
loving voters, who are willing to sustain tn e
regular Democratic candidates-Stephen A
Douglas and Herschel V. Johnson-to partci-
pate in the primary elections provided, howev-
err that the vote OF any elector shall be rejected

The Seced ers' Candidates.

In 1854, Mr.. Breckinridge, then member of
Congress, in speech favoring the Kansas.Ne-
braska Bill, in speaking of the right of Congress
to legislate upon the subject of slavery in the
Territories declared that
The right to establish involves the correla-
tive right to prohibit, and denying both, would
vote for neither"
In speech delivered in the U. s. Senate, on
the 10th of December, 1859. Cen Lane, the ju.
nior member of the seeding firm, uttered tho
following language:
Congress has NO POWER over the question
Of slavery: they cannot under the Constitution
establish it in Territory or prohibit it,
Since then both of these gentlemen have de-
clared themselves in favor of Congress legislat-
ing upon the subject of slavery in the Terrific
res-in favor of exercising the identical power
which, IN the speeches from which we have JUS.
quoted, they claimed Congress had no righ. to
exercise. NoW they both favor the jeff Davis
resolutions, which declare that Congress has the
power to interfere to protect slavery in the Ter
riories, in the event that the Territorial Legis-
lttnre fail TO give it such legislation as it may
require.
