Non.Intervention.

When this word was introduced into the Demo-
cratic Creed relative to the government OF Ter
ritories, it had specific well understood meaning
1t was the principle upon which the Territories
of Kansas AMI Nebsaska were established. so far
as the question Of slavery was concerned. That
act declared, that "the true and bona ide intent
and meaning of the act, was not to legislate
slavery into any State or Territory, nor to exclude
it therefrom," but to leave that matter to the
people acting under the Constitution of the Unit
ed States. Thus we see bow it was then under
stood. This understanding was adopted into the
Democratic creed at Cincinnati. in 1856, "as nom
interference by Congress with slavery in State or
Territory, or in the District of Columbia" Ger
tainly the idea at that time went only to prohibit
Congress from establishing slavery in IL Territory
or excluding it therefrou, because the District of
Columbia is exclusively under the control of Con-
gress and there is much slave property there
Can any one have the hardihood to assert tha t
Congress cannot legislate in favor Of protecting
the property of that District? Why where else
are those people to look for legislation! More
over does not every man know that the national
Congress does. and it is its duty to legislate from
time to time for the interests of persons and pro-
perty within that District! We we're not to in
terfere by legislation to establish or introduce q
system of slavery, AS one of the domestic institu-
tions of either State or Territory or in the Dis
trtt of Columbia. nor were We to prohibit it in
either of them. and by the same rule, if we could
protect property although it might be in slave,
in the District of Columbia, we could do it in a
! Territory.
non-iptervention. But Mr.. Douglas construes it
to mean parnlizng the arm of government.
He thought it would he right in the case OF
Utah. to intervene and repeal the act by which
the government of the Territory was created. be-
cause of the wrongs committed 10y that people.
but when asked by Senator Davis, distinctly,
whether when the conroverted question of sla-
very had been referred TO the Supreme Court of
| the United States, and decided by it, and right
which Congress would not assert had been de-
cared by that Court, to be constitutional right,
would he then give that right the protection Of
! Congressional legislation, he snid: IL will not
vote to intervene by law OF any kind by Con-
gress.'
| Mr. Douglas ought to know that the people OF
! th' United States are not to be deceived by any
such q suhterfuge. A man in bis high position
ought not to stoop to such low bareIaced trick
cry II it is Intervention in the territories. it is
| in the District of Columbia, and for the govern
ment of that District he has often voted for laws
protecting slave property, moreover he voted in
1919. to extend the Wilmot Prov iso over the Ter
| ritories of Utah and New Mexico, thus admitting
the right of Congress to intervene to exclude
slavery from the Territories. Bah--we scken

Sam. w. Inge.

This gentleman, whom rumor placed last
winter among the distinguished candid "tes
for the United States Senate, has written a
letter in which he has taken the position Of
the 'bogus faction" in this State. lie ret.
crates the doctrine of Douglas in regard to
the right of territorial legislature to ex.
clude slavery while in its Territoriav assa &c
notwithstanding the Constitution and the
United States Supreme court to the contrary
We are not surprised at the course Of ill.,
gentleman, and would not alude to him, if
there was not history connected with his
political tergiversations which we desire to
call to the attention of Democrats. He was
at one time member of Congress from
Alabama, and after the adoption Of the
compromise measure Of 1850, went before
his constituents for reelection AS the "Ceses
sion" candidate. At that time he was op
posed to ''squatter sovereignty "dead
heart" that Douglas now defends-and be-
lieved with Herschel V. johnson and tina:
School of politicians, that sufficient cause
had been given to the South to secede from
the confeaeracy. In the contest he was
heaten by w. R. Smith. the Union candi
date for congress. He soon posted to CAL
ifornia, in every sense a broken down poll
tician, and now at this day he assumes to
advocate as Democracy, what he then con-
demned as a heresy. May the United States
Senate be saved from such men as Sammy
1nge.
The FIRST Gun FROM OREaoN.-By the
Democrat, published at Albany, We learn
that an election was recently held in Cor
wallis, Benton County. for Mayor. The
Douglas men nominated w. H. johnson,
