Due one tAinS seems toleraDIy certain,
which ia, that the people will not long
consent to be taxed to the tune of one or
two hundred thousand dollars year to
keep up these works for the benefit of
the counties through which they run.
There isanother bill of some impor-
tance now pending, but the pressure of
times and the earnest desire to retrench,
wherever retrenchment is at all practica-
BILE, will probably defeat it. is a bill
providing fora thorough geological sur
Tey of the State. Many, perhaps, may
not see the importance of such an en-
terprise, but in our opinion no measure
that could be adopted would be of so
much ultimate benefit to the State, at
the same cost. Still We do not suppose
it will pass this session. .,...g e.,
Several other important measures are
pending, which we have not time now
to enumerate, and as this letter is
too long already, we close for the present.
"POPULAR sOvEREIGNTYn WITH A
VENGEANCE.
i Gov. Sam. Medary has vetoed the bill
of the Territorial Legislature of Kansas,
abolishing Slavery in that Territory
Notwithstanding this veto, the Legisla-
ture will probably pass the bill over his
veto by two-thirds vote Ever since
the passage ofthe Kansas Nebraska bill,
it has been the boast of the Democratic
party that their policy was to leave the
"people of the Territories free to .reeu-
late their own domestic institutions in
their own way" How have they carried
out these professions? Let the authen-
ticated history of the past few years
answer. With that history every school
boy is familiar. All the corrupt in
fuences-all the power of a corrupt Ad-
ministration have been constantly
brought to bear upon the people of Kan
sas to force slavery upon them; but
when that people have arisen in their
might and refused to obey the behests
of the 'spowers that be" at Washington
when they have, through their legiti-
mate agents, the Territorial Legislature,
declared emphatically that they wish
Slavery abolished in their Territory, the
Tyrant's apoBer-the executive veto
has been brought to bear upon their acts,
to crush out the will of majority of the
people as expressed by their representa-
tives. We call this Popular Sow
ereignty" with vengeance.
Let not the people of this land be
blinded and hoodwinked longer by these
unprincipled demagogues and tyrants,
who only desire to keep the name demoe-
racy without the reality. Who does not
know that the well-known and oft-re-
peated wish of the people of the Terri
tory of Kansas has, time after time, been
disregarded by these very persons loud
est in their professions for popular Sow
sreignty," which administered as it has
been for few years past, by, Democracy
is simply an unmitigated humbug, no
more or no less. 1t is high time that
the people were opening their eyes to
the true design of the mis-called Demo-
cratic party, which is to spread !Slare,y
orer erery foot Of Territory nop free,
wherever it can possibly be done. The
Democratic party is now, as it has ever
been, pro-slavery party, sacrificing ev-
cry principle of right and justice to per-
petuate and spread the peculiar institu-
ton
We ask every disinterested man to
look at these things calmly and dispas-
sionately-to view the tortuous course
of that party for years past-to look
where the leaders have been taking them
and then to support the rotten insti-
tuition if they can. Every promise ever
made to the people of Kansas by the
popular sovereignty party has been
grossly violated-not one single pledge
has ever been redeemed; and, yet, We
hear Democratic politicians and news
papers prating of popular sovereignty"
the people of the Territories govern
ing ''their own institutions in their own
way" ooh shame! where is thy blush?"
