w The Richmond Enquirer, which,
whatever its present authority or influence,
was once law to the Southern Democracy,
says of the nomination Of Douglas:
The friends of Mr.. Douglas, by persisting
in their demands, must bring defeat upon the
party. If they should be successful at Balti-
more, the party will be defeated at the polls.
1t is insulting to the Southern people to
suppose that fears of Black Republicanism
will induce them to support platform which
they opposed on principle. Let the conse-
quences be ever so disastrous to the Federal
Union, the South will not yield its objections
to squatter sovereignty. ~
1t matters but little whether the degradation
of the South proceeds from Black Republican
Congressional destruction or squatter SOW
ereignty territorial denial of its rights.
We sincerely hope that the friends Of Mr..
Douglas will yield to the objections urged by
sovereign States, and unite the party to with
stand the assaults of sectional organization
that avows the ''irrepressible conflict We
that trou6leth his oson house shall inherit tho

NOBLE DEEDS OF NORTHERN DEMocRATs.-
A Carolina Douglas paper enumerates the
following in the list of noble deeds of the
Northern Democracy: ...-..
'They had voted for the fugitive slave law;
they had voted to repeal the Missouri
restriction; they had voted to annex Texas,
and add thereby 10000 square miles of slave
territory to the Union; they had voted against
protective tariff laws, of which South Carolina
once complained so bitterly, and on account
of which she was about to leave the Union;
they had struggled in their respective States
to prevent the enactment of laws to shield and
protect fugitive slaves, and they had recently
honored one of South Cardinals prominent
sons with the Speakership of the House OF
Representatives.
After such a display Of devotion to the
peculiar sectional interests of the South, and
constant sacrifice of the interests of their own
section, that paper thinks that the seceders
treated their allies very badly at Charleston.

A "GREAr PRINCIPLE" EsrABLlsHED.-The
Cincinnati Gazette, in an article commenting
on Douglas and Democracy, sums up the
doctrines established by the defender Of
Popular Sovereignty as follows: q .,.. Il
"Mr. Douglas great two days speech, in
the Senate, which, we are informed, and
which, we do not deny, is a triumphant
vindication of his democracy, has established
to his full satisfaction the following p ,stion ::
Popular Sovereignty is the great principle of
the Democratic party; in fact, about the only
Democratic principle. Popular Sovereignty
is to give the people Of Territory, the same
as State, the right to regulate their domestic
institutions in their own way But the right
Of the people of territory to regulate their
domestic institutions is judicial question;
and for Congress or for political parties to
assert any such right is nothing more nor less
than an attempt to give judicial exposition to
the Constitution, and usurpation of judicial
power, and, in short, is nothing but treason.
This is certainly great principle and it is
difficult to see how the Democratic party caa
abandon it or its author without coming to
grief" g-H. E ea'

TIE CATTLE DISEASE IN MAssACHusErrs.-

in view of the prevalence of the cattle dis

the General Government to aid in the sup.

Fight with tIae Indians = Large

The last Pony Express brought intelligence
that veral Americans had been murdered
by the Indians while asleep at Millen's sta
tion, some thirty miles from the settlements
of Carson Valley, and also that various COM
panies had organized at Virgioia City,
snd other settlements in the Washoe mines,
and gone in pursuit of the Indians. 1t cub
sequensly appeared that los volunteers under
Maj. Ormsby, on the 18th ult., came upon
the Indians about 6 miles north Of Virginia
City. The Indians were in ambush in q
narrow pass, through which the Ormsby
party were proceeding, and numbered, it is
supposed, not less than 500, all having fire.

he .ses within convepent distance. They
oponed fire upon our troops. Maj. Ormsby
ordered a charge, but the Indians ccntin-
ued to skulk, firing from behind rocks and
bushes, and doing damage without suffering
much in return. This condition of things
continued two hours, when the mn unition
of Ormsby's party gave out. The Indians
seeing this, closed upon our men, pouring in
volley after volley, killing many on the spot
The balance retreated, scattering in all di-
rections.j The survivors came struggling

EXPERIENCE OF NEWSPAPER PUBLISHER.
The editor of the Van Vert CO., Bulletin
says he has been connected with news
paper publication more than than thirty
years that during that time he has credit
ed over fifteen thousand persons by
non-paying subscribers, advertisers and job
bers, rising ten thousand dollars, the major
half Of that running up beyond seventeen
years, bringing the interest equal to the
principal, showing loss of over $40, 600.
This is an item OF experience in newspaper
publication. More than half of that sum
was withheld from him by the rich and the
very rich. Every newspaper publisher,
who has done business on the credit sys-
TEN. can relate like experience. t-

Mr.. Lincoln was nominated as the Republican

to be capable Of filing the exalted position,
