Prescription AND PERSECUTION
We see it stated that Democrats in diff
ferent parts of the country, have been
removed By the present Administration,
because they have deemed it their duty
as honest and conscientious men to sup
port the election Of STEPHEN A.
DOUGLAS, the regularly nominated
Democratic candidate for President.
This kind Of prescription and persecu-
ton is all wrong, and entirely beneath
the dignity Of the Presidential Office.
Our readers ell know that We have
stood by and fought for Mr.. Buchanan's
Administ ration when it needed friends ;
and although Judge Douglas was not
our choice, yet as the nominee of our
party We shall cheeriully and cordially
support him. Petty prescriptions, such
as we have alluded to, will only have
the effect to make more and warmer
friends for Judge Douglas. "The per-
secution of the Saints is the seed Of the
Church" mt. Vernon Banner.

Tone of the Southern Press.

The Nicholasville (Kentucky) Demo-
crat, published in Mr.. Breckiuridge's
district, hoists the flag of Douglas and
johnson. The editor says:
1t has ever been, and is now, our fix
ed and determined purpose to support
the nan for President who fairly and
Justly o. tanned the nomination. While
we admire and love Mr.. Breckenridge,
we cannot forsake the modicum of ma
tionality that yet remains to the Demo.
cracy to promote his interest to the det-
riment of that party, whose recent rup-
ture has cast such gloom over our
land and nation. We love the Union.
We will never knowingly take q posi-
ton which will array one section of the
Union against another. MIR. Breckin-
ridge did not receive the vote of Ken
lucky in Convention, and he will not re-
ceivc it in November next. If he &C.
cepts the nomination from handful of
delegates who seeded at Baltimore, it
will initiate against the success of Mr..
Douglas, while it insurcs his own over
whelming defeat. AT time like the
present, when the greatest harmony is
needed to insure success, it is suicidal to
attempt victory with a divided front.
Our banner is now unfurIed to the
breeze, with the honored names of
Stephen Douglas, of Illinois, for Presi-
dent, and Herschel V. Johnson, for Vice
President. inscribed upon it's national
folds. Under this banner We expect to
achieve triumphant and glorious victo-
ry, to the utter dismay and confusion Of
all the fragments OF sectional parties,
against which the pure and unterri6ed
Democracy may have to contend.

POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY NO NEW Doc
rRrNE.-The doctrine of popular sover-
eighty, as to slavery in the Territories,
was held by eminent men forty years
ago. Gen. William Henry Harrison,
in letter to President Monroe, in 1921
spoke Of it in the following language :
II believe that the Constitution has
given no power to the general govern
ment to interfere in this matter, and that
to have slaves, depends upon the people
in each State or Territory alone"

PIEDMoNT, N. Y, July 8, 1860.
Hon. s. Z. CsUscH, Albion, ny;
MY DEAR S,R-Allow me to coDgrat-
late you upon the nomination Of your
favolits candidate, Hos. Stephen A.
Douglas, for the Psssidshcy-and to say
that I have long since made up my
mind to support him in his nomination..
l do not approve Of the appeal Of
the Missouri, Compromise, bat the re-
strictiou having been repealed, and the
measure sanctioned by the American peo'
pie, l arm now firm in the belief that the
only true course to pursue, in order to
avoid tue constant, and to me disgusting,
agitation ofth,s eternal question, both in
and out Of Congress, is not only to al
low, but to compel the people Of the re-
spective States aud Territories to settle
it among themselves and to permit
neither Congress nor the Executive to
interfere in any manner whatever. This
l understand to be popular sovereignty
as expounded by Judge Douglas.
Itappears to me that, since | hrst
began to pay attention to politics. ct
least three .fourths of the time Of each
session OF Congress, and probably nine
tenths Of every political speech, that has
been made through the country, by the
stumpers Of all parties, have been de-
voted to this prolific theme and the on
~ practical result that am able to dis
cover, is the organization Of two great
sectional parties, one for the North and
one for the South, whose antagonism
are so bitter that each would prefer the
dissolution of the Union to the success
of the other.
l could not conscientiously act or
vote with the crest Democratic party,
in whose hands the people, during sev-
eral administrations, have placed the
general government, SO long as 1t was
completely subject to the caprice and
dictaticn of the radical men of the
South.-But now that it occupies the on
ly practicable aud conservative ground
upon which the North and South
can meet as friends ; and where neither
the arbitrary dictation of the Executive,
nor the ambitious or Revolutionary
schemes Of designing politicians (wether
in or out Of Congress. can interpose this
element Of discord between them, feel
that it is the duty of every conservative
and Union-loving man to give it his hear
ty support, and save the country, ifpossi.
bic from the danger of beinggoverned BY
either of the extreem factions, North and
| South.
Ihave known Judge Douglas long
and we'll, aud have always regarded
him as a statesman of ability and integ.
rity. If the American people, by Their
votes, should, as sincerely hope and
believe they will, elevate him to the
highest Office in their gift, l have nc
doubt that his Administration will prove
more peaceful, energetic, and success
full than any that have gone before it
and that our resources will become more
fully developed, and our institutions
more firmly established than they evel
yet have been. Yours very truly.

Of An introduction to the family Of Hez-
ekih ali Granger. Mr.. Granger many
years ago married the widow Of DR..
Douglas, of Brandon, VT, and the moth
er of Stephen A. Douglas, the Demo
cratic candidate for the Presidency.
The residence of the venerable but
most agreeable couple lies about two
miles south of the Clifton Spring Hotel.
OF the many elegant farm houses OF
Ontario county, that of Mr.. Granger will
rank among the first. 1t is just such
picture Of rural quiet and elegance that
poets have celebrated in verse; that
dramatists have painted to my lady love
in the play, and denizens Of cities envy
80 often as they pass, and think Of tho
inmates as those who have nothing left
to sigh for.
-"What 10 the world to them,
Its pomp, its pleasures, and its nonsense all =
The family consists of Mr.. and Mrs.
Granger, the son, Julius N. Grauger,and
his wife. An unusual relationship exists
between the older and the younger mar
ried couples. The elder Granger mar

The first Of the household to meet us
was the younger Mrs. Granger. She is
lady of some forty years, accomplished
and Of intelligent and agreeable dis

Mrs. Granger, the mother Of Mr.
Douglas, is very active, sprightly and
intelligent lady. She told me she was
over seventy =; had guessed her age
from appearance and conversation, !
should have said at least fifteen years
younger. In height she is not over five
feet, and probably weighs less than one
hundred pounds. She said she expected
Stephen almost every train, but it was
altogether uncertain when he would
come. 1.-TWO years ago." said she

like, appeared far more concerned
about that than his political prospects
Of one thing she felt entirely sure
that to be beaten would not hurt her
son at all; and speaking Of attacks upon
him, she good-naturedly remarked she
thought the newspapers had already
said all the harsh things they could say
of him, SO his running for the Presidcn'
CIV now could make no difference about
that.
Mr.. Granger, the step-father of Mr..
Douglas, is a tall, erect old gentleman
Of eighty years. With the exception o.
being q little deaf he is in the enjoy

from Suffield, Conn, in 1900, and pur'
