Des Arc citizen., 1860-10-03

Is the doctrine of Mir. DOUGLASS and that the whole democratic party of the nation, are fully committed 10 that psnciple by the legislation of 1850 and 1854, well as by the national democratic plat forms of le4S, 1859 and 1856, and that the party has abandoned the non-interventon doctrine and gone astray and that he alone has remained stead last And he explains non -intery enton, to mean That the squatters of Ierritory--existing by the sunFance of Congress, are sovereign---that they possess exclusive control over .heauestion ofslave- F In the Territory and that Congress has no right to intervene to protect the citizen against direct or unsriendly legislation Whereby they must sub mt to heavy losses or be driven out of the coun- try. doctrine of
 " Such frightful mien, That to be hated needs but to be seen'' Neither tho compromise of 1950--the Kansas Nebraska act, nor the platform of the democratic party contains any such political heresy. It is a construction put upon them by Mr. DOUGLAS and his friends at the North--the whole South and a large portion of the northern democracy always contendcd that Congress had no power to introduce or prohibit slavcryn the Territories, and that the territorial legislature, which was the mere creature o Congress, cannot possess greater power than the creator, (Congress) and that should it arrogate to tself such power, Congress had not only the right, put Was bound to intervene to protect the citizen aSainst such q nal exercise of power. Upon this i. subject the democracy were divided-some agree Ing With MT. DOUGLAS, others holding with the < South. They agreed for the sake of quieting ag- tton to compromise for time these differences, by declaring that Congress should not intervene to est6ttsh stdUery in or to ercluac t from de Ter rtcics,' leaving the question in dispute to be ad- udicated by the courts. Speaking of that agree pent Ill his great speech on the Davis resolutions, Mr DOUGLAS said
 + believed the power existed; others believed otherwise; we agreed to differ; we agreed to refer z tito the judiciary; we agreed to abide by their de- csion.''
 sTo this all agreed--each stood pledged to abide bythat decision The Kansas and Nebraska bill Eas passed under and through this spirit of com. 1nmlse.

The great doctrine off non lMavention about which he and his friends talk so Xrub, tras then fcith him at dn end He had affirm ahe right of the people of the Territory to make EState free under the Kansas bill, and it became Aksary to do something to stop the clamors ofhs #tion friends in the North, and especially of his State, Illinois; consequently he separated him. From the democratic party, who had delighted to him, not only as member but as leader, without stopping to ask whether the constitu- vas republican or not, the only touchstone In to the constitution, which he was sworn to fort, he asked and demanded that Congress Nd interueae to exclude Kansas from the Union. tT'he bill to admit Kansas as a State under the without condition Or li- Ion, passed the Senate by a large majority, and supported by democrats and none others, (ex- sfr. .Kenedy, of Md, an American.)
