Why Quarrel About 1t!

In reference to the subject which
has SO divided the political psrtics-
the question of domestic slavery IN the
terrItories-One thing must be evident
to the most casual observer. That is
If the people ofany organized territory
want slavery they will have it; and if
they do not want it, nopower on earth
can force it upon them This being
the case, why should there be an ev-
erlastiug quarrel about the question in
the States, the people of which will
not be called npon to decide it one
way or another 7
The Legislature of the territory of
New Mexico has given protection to
slavery--the Legislature of Kansas has
prohibited slavery. Now, flour sham
Republican opponents really believed
in the doctrines which they promul.
gate, why did they not attempt to nul,
liiy the action Of the people of New
Mexico, by introducing bill in Con.
gress repeating all laws in that terri.
tory protecting slavery? Why have
not the sectionalists introduced bill
in Congress prohibiting the people in
the territories from making any laws
whatever! Itthey have not the right
to regulate their domestic affairs in one
thing, they have not in another, and
since the scctoDalists have not dared
to put their doctrines in practice, why
should the people Of the Union care
about them, or quarrel over = ques.
tlon which mnst in the nature OF things
be settled by those in the territories
1t is simply absurd.

ZALEsKI, July 9, 1860,

Mr.. EDroR:-We are much pleas
ed to know that you already have such
a fine Douglas Club in Macarthur;
strong, able men as those are, un-
doubtedly, bear heavily upon the Re.
publicans; and from that Club, as from
many others, will go forth the princi-
pies OF non,iutcrvention, until many
who formerly acted with the Woody
Horse tribe, shall respond to the cry
OF Liberty, and rally around the stan.
dard of Douglas and the principles of
non intervention. But ] must tell
yon how the Lincoln Club at Zaleski
is prospering. Well, my Republican
friend informed me that on the 3Oth of
June, it numbered about 90 persons,
men and children, some of them from
other townships. | believe it is Gus
tomary for the Abes to send out, on
Club night, and coax, persuade, yea,
almost compel an attendance, that the
room in which they hold forth may
contain something besides benches
Having got the attendance of few,
then the "spouting" commences.
On the 7th of July they had a glo-
rIous rally, and the Club stood torch
rePlete in numbers and resplendant in
beauty. Mr.. Jones waa over, and
they focked around him to the tune
Of about-30, including women, chill.
dren and Douglas men. "Nels. !"
poor fellow, had to take it. Mr.,
Jones thinks he can do better for the
county than "Nels." has done, and the
people ought to elect him; but some
Of the Republicans have told that
"Nelse." is all right, and they are 90.
ing to vote for him. LEX,

The fair application of this just ard

and fraternity to a distracted country.
Ii we now depart from that wise and
just policy which produced these hap.
py results, and permit the country to
be again distracted and precipitateG
into revolution by sectional contest
between pro.slayery and ant.slavery
intelven.ionists, where shall we look

another Cass to pilot the ship Of State

The Federal Union must be pre-.
served; the Constitution must be
maintained inviolate in all lis parts;
every right guaranteed by the Con,

all cases where legislation is necessary
to its enjoyment; the judicial author,
ity in the Constitution must be sus-
tanned and its decisions implicitly
obcyed and faithfully executed; the
laws must be administered and the

unlawful resistance to these things
must be met with ti.mness, impartial,

POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY No New
DrcrRINE.-Thc doctrine Of popular
Sovereignty as to slavery in the Ter
r.torjes, IS by no means the offspring
Of Judge Douglas brain. 1t was
held by eminent men forty years ago.
General William Henry Harrison, in
Il letter 10 President Monroe in 1921,
used the following language:
Il believe that the Constitution has
given no power TO the General Gov.
cnmrnt to Interfere in this matter,
and that 10 have slaves or no slaves,
depends upon the people in each State
or Territory al1ne."

Removal OF Postmaster Carol at
Men phiS.

President Buchanan has removed
VIM. Ii. Carol, the Postmaster at
Memphis, from Office, and appointed
a disunioui>t in his place, This act
is in perfect harmony with the policy
Of the Administration. Mr.. Carol is
the son Of General Carol, the distin,
guished aid Of General Andrew Jack
son at the battle Of New Orleans, who
served glorious'y under him in all his
memorable campaigns, and perhaps
enjoyed his confidence and friendship
in u higher degree than any other
man. Carol the younger inherited
in u remarkable degree the patriotism,
the manly independence and the per-
sonal courage of his distinguished
father, and, like him, was an especial
tavorite OF the Hero of the Hermitage.
This son OF Jackson's war worn
comrade has been removed from Office
because he is a supporter Of that man
lor the Presidency whom Jackson in
his last days eulogized as having
nude the speech which vindicased his
action at an imt oytant period, and
who inscribed upon the printed copy
Of that speech-leit with his literary

DOUGLAS EErHUsIAsM.-At the
great Douglas ratification meeting at
Concord, New Hampshire, there ap-
prarei in the procession a large body
Of Iumbermen who had come to town
to huzza for Douglas. The uniform
Of this etalworth company of hard
tistci Democrats WAS what they wear
in their harJy busine5s--red wooden
shirts and something like buckskin
pants. Their accoutrements were the
long poles with strong steel hoops at
,ached, which they use IN hauling logs
and directing their course throush h the
rapids Of the Merrimack.
The people, who do the labor of the
county, have taken the election of
Douglas into their hands. Their en-
,Lu;iasm is sweeping all barriers from

The Issue of Negro Voting.

n hC ASSNO Va 4NCBhO VOAhhA'
We publish to-day the resolutions
passed at the late Democratic State
Convention, one Of which takes ground
in opposition to negro voting ani ne.
gro equality with white men, gencr,
ally.
The present Republican Supreme
Court has. decided that negroes less
than half black, are Dhjte male citi-
senS @Me United StateS! Under
this decision, mulattoes may vote, hold
Office, &C., &c. Republicans in this
part Of Ohio declare positively that
they are not in favor OF negroes vVt
ing, and they will now be put to the
test.
Judge Brinkerhoff, who delivered
the opinion of the court, in which he
agreed, that negroes less than half
black are white lnen, has been re.
nominated By the Republicans for
Judge Of the Supreme Court When
Judge Swan decided that the Fugitive
Slave Law was constitutional, the Re-
publican party repudjated him, and
refused 10 ge,nOmjnate him. If that
party were opposed to negro equality,
wo'd they not have served Brinkerhof
with notice to quit" just as they
did Judge SWAMI Most asSuredly
they would.
But We have further evidence that
the Republican party is pledged to
negro equality. The decision of
BrinkerhoH and his brother Judges
was made during the last session Of
the Legislature. When it became
known, an amendment vas proposed
to tue constitution, providing that no
person having visible admixture OF
African blood should be allowed 10
vote or hold Office. What was the
results Nins,tenths @the Repu6Ii-

CANDIEs.-Mr. Johnston, tAe con-
fectioner, has just manufactured r
large supply of candies, and is now
prepared to supply orders, wholesale
or retail. We can recommend his
candies as most excellent. They con-
tain no poisonous colored stripes such
as you get from Wholesale dealers in
the cities. These poisonous colors
are used for two reasons--frst, be-
cause they are cheap, and secondly,
because they are brighter and make
candies look more attractive, but they
are positively dangerous, especially
for young children.
