The Feeling i'm Mississippi.

THROUGH the length and breadth of our
State there is aroused feeling of resistance
to Black Republican domination; old party
lines have been done away with, and there is
a spirit of unanilnity among our people that

have an equal right to settle with their
property OF any kind, in the organised ter

United States in the case OF bred Scott,
which we recognize as the correct exposition
OF the Constitution in this particular, slave

The Dubuque Herald ON the Rights
Of man.

The Dubuque Herald, the leading Doug
las organ OF Iowa, seems to have forgotten
or igncred ito political principles in recent
patriotic article on the Fourth of July, in
giving usterance 90 the following truthful
sentiments. We make brief extract show
ing the spirit of the article:
Alexander Hamilton uttered truth which
4 deserves 20 be written in letters of gold upon
athe everlasting hills, when be said "Tbe "a
cred rights OF mankind are not to be rum :
saked for among old parchments and musty
records. They are written, as with sun
beam, in the whole volume OF human nature
BY the hand Of Divinity itself, and can never
be erased or obliterated by mortal power"
Our revolutionary sires fully understood this
truth and appreciated its force. They re-
gefded it not simply as an axiom OF political
philosophy, worthy OF record in the books,
bat they regarded ii as a truth to be prac.
tiesd In actual life, and the doctrines pro-
claimed 10 the Declaration OF independence
bear witness to this fact.
The leading doctrines enunciatcd in that
Declaration are simply MORAL TRUTHS, which
found response in the hearts OF the masses
OF men, not only OF our own land, but Of all
lands, and hence the doctrines themselves
were irresistible, and the men who batslsd
for them victorious.
With the truths OF that Declaration for
her watchwords and her guide, our young
Republic stood forth and found place
among the nations OF the earth. In her
early career her statesmen were guided by
those truths, and the feeble colonies soon in
creased TO mighty nation, unsurpassed in
all the elements Of national power, and
prosperous beyond all precedent in the his-
tory of the world.
Chief Justice fancy and Judge Douglas,
IL will be remembered, hold that the truths
OF the Declaration of Independence applied
only to British subjects, or at most to white
men OF European origin. And Douglas is
In favor Of the right of white men to vote
black ones into slaves, wherever they choose
- do so, not caring himself "whether slave
ryis voted up or voted down"
How dare the Douglas organ talk about
the "rights OF mankind" '.written bv the
hand of Divinity" as"moral truths" "enun-
eiated in the Declaration OF Independence"
"hnding response in the hearts of the
masses in all lands". How can it prove SO
heterodox to the 6rst principles of the little
sauatter sovereign and Of the bobtaiI Balti.
more platform, which endorses the bred
Boot decision with all it's arrogant denial
