A Word TO Douglas Democrats.

Since one divergent branch or the har.
monious Democracy have nominated
Stephen A. Douglas for the Presidency,
and since many Of his admirers believe
him to be the man, it is strictly appro-
pirate to review at least part Of his
past political course, and the tendency
Of his doctrines. In doing so, We wish
to call the attention of his supporters
to one important fact, and that is the
tednency Of his principles and trumpeted
professions, to the very reverse of what
he represents them at the North. Here
he carries the idea, that intervention
by Congress. on the subject of slavery
Ia the Territories, is just the thing for
the Northern people, because they are
the most numerous. as we'll as the most
enterprising, and hence, will in most
cases furnish large majority Of the set
tiers Of = new territory, and per conse
quence upon his principle car easily ex'
clude it. We know this to be the Doug
las doctrine here inculcated. Many Of
our Douglas neighbors tell US they arc
at heart opposed to the further extern
sion Of Slavery, but they believe the
proper course to pursue is to allow the
people of q territory to control this mat.
tor, which will generally result in favor
Of freedom, and believing thus, they
must support Douglas. TO these We
say, you are completely blinded with
theory, the originator Of which, knows
it to be not only unconstitutional but
unjust and imp racticabla theory which
has no foundation in truth, and which
Was made as bid for the Presidency
and you dear fellows are the dupes Of
= plsce-seeking Demagouge.
Is this be SO, that the doctrine Of non
intervention tends ultimately to make
free States out Of our territories, why
does Mr.. Douglas when talking to other
ears-to Southernsrs, prove that the
very reverse oft has generally thus far,
proven true.
In bis speech on the 10th day Of last
May, in the United States Senate, in ef-
forts to defend himself from the attack
Of certain Southerners, who charged him
with deserving the South, he said:
"Now, what has been the result +? My
views were incorporated into the CON-
promise measures Of 1850, and others

Toledo, Its Future.
Mn. EDITOR.

We have had, in days
now past, our golden day dreams; re
spectiny Toledo, and its future prospects.
We saw it in our minds eye, and At no
distant ! Q iod !; grown from an uupre-
tending struggling village, to beauti
full thriving city; the manufacturing,
commercial, and business center, Of one
Of the richest Agricultural districts in
the West. Its citizens were noted, for
their liberality, enterprise, Intelligence
and wealth. It was the home Of Peace.
Plenty and prosperity the seat Of Learn
ing, r. fnement and taste. Such was the
Toledo Of our dreams. We did not
think then, we do not think now, the
above picture, to be Of necessity mere
phantasy Of the brain it can be, and i,
should be more than realized. But will
1t be? We fear not. And why? Are
not our people possessed Of more than
an ordinary amount Of intelligence and
education? Are We not migrants from
States famed for the energy and enter
prise of their inhabitants
Wealth we have not but can we not
create it? In ,chot essential then, are
We lacking? Although we have these
requisites, they are not sure indications
Of future prosperity. They will avail
US nothing, while we are SO utterly des
titute Of that one indispensable element
Of success, union, unity Of action.
That Gin union there is strength" is
equally true, whether applied to States
towns, or individuals. Without it, fail.
ure is inevitable; with it, almost impos.
sible. Now, how is it with us Z? Instead
Of being united the very demon Of dis.
cord presides in our councils. Let the

hardly believe its parallel could be found.
That this state Of affairs, is q fixed fact !;
no one can deny. That it exists; every
good citizen must deeply regret. AL
though many Of the actors in these per
nicious strifes are influenced, no doubt
by an honest difference of opinion there
are others, over whose actions we cannot
draw the mantle Of charity. We mean
that class of persons, who are always
found opposed to every measure howev-

divided into two parts; tho avaricious

The Pacific Telegraph.

So seldom have W. been called upon TO
chronicle aught in praise Of tho present Con-
gress with its Democratic scnatc,) that in
announcing to the Public the passage Of the
Pacific Telegraph Bill, We are filled with the
same amazemcst which forced Nathaniel Of
old to exclaim "can there any good thing
come out Of NAZARETH" In the passage Of
this truly great and bcne6cent measure, by
the NXXvlth Congress in its expiring mo-
mcnts, they were no doubt actunted by that
feeling Of remorse for the past, and dread Of
the uncertain future which 80 often seize
men ON their death bed impcl.ing them to at
tempt m oblitcration Of the Fast and q pur-
chase Of Future Peace by doing even at that
eleventh hour, and for the first time in their
miserable existence some benevolent or char
liable net. Even as Thcologians teach that
death bed rerentances avail little, so We
opine and say, that while the Record Of the
Democratic Party remains, all the codicils she
can add will not save her from that Purgatorv
to which the Judgment Of an indignant peo-
pie will 50 soon consign her.
But to the Bill. The central route has been
selected beginning at Leavcnworth, running
thence TO Fort Kearney; thence to Fort LARA.
mic; thence through the South Pass to Utah
City and thence to San Francisco. Between
Utah City and San Francisco branch will
run to Oregon.
While we regret that the Heuse proposition
to let the contract for its construction to the
lowest responsible bidder, was stricken out BY
the Senate, and the names of contractors in
serted, yet We rejoice that tho Bill has passed
in any shape. When the Devil sings psalms
his music or his motives must not be criticized
too closely.
