in Congress of 1859, came into the Senate,
where a magnificent opportunity was offer
ed him to show his devotion to the West
ern pioneers. Did he say word on the
subject? The record says no. Did he
vote on the subject? The record says no.
What did he do then? He simply dodg-
ed the issue, well knowing that the mo-
ment he voted for the Homestead Bill,
that moment he made himself odious
to the South, for the South considers the
Homestead Bill directly antagonistic to
the Slave power and to the increase of
Slave Territory. IF this were otherwise
why is it that Southern Senators and
Southern members Of the House, with
few exceptions only, have invariably voted
against the measure? And why is it that
James Buchanan vetoed the bill when it
did pass? Douglas said to his Southern
friends, "Gentlemen, the passage of this
bill will bel lp the Democratic party in the
West" The Southerners first exacted
the assurance of the President that he
would veto the bill, and with this under
standing .mongrel bill passed the Senate
(for the purpose Of giving the Democratic
party strength in the WesD and was laid
upon the shelf just in accordance with the
prnvious Douglas-Southern programme
and just in accordance with the record
Douglas has left behind him. Had Doug
as or the party to which he belongs, de-
sired the Homestead Bill, it would have
been passed long time ago, but he docs
not want it, or if he does want it, he has
always been and is now afraid to give it
his influence and his vote, fearful that in
return he will be spurned by the South.
The most conclusive evidence in ad-
dition to that which we have already Civ
en- of the hypocrisy of Douglas and his
party relative to the Homestead Bill, is
the fact, that in their platform they urtte
not word in favor Of the measure
Taking this in connection with the ante
cedent lodgings Of Mr.. Douglas, the intel
ligent reader can easily see how false and
jesuistical have been the articles which
appeared in the Pioneer in defence of its
favoritc Presidential candidate. Special
p}eadings and random assertions will not
satisfy the people of this State as to the
honesty and sincerity of Stephen A. Doug
las in his advocacy of Homestead Bill,
and for proof Of all we have said on the
subject we point to the record for full
vindication
St. Cloud Democrat. [volume] (Saint Cloud, Stearns County, Minn.) 1858-1866, 1860-09-20
The Homestead Bill and the
Douglas Platform. -:

"Douslas, and the wing of the party to
which he belongs, are in favor Of the
Homestead Bill certainly they are. Look
at their platform" says a Douglas admirer.
Well, we will look at their platform -
Read it over carefully, but you will not
find one aDord in it which has reference to
the Homestead Rill-not one woyd. Why?
There is always reason for these things
Why did not the Douglas party embrace
in their platform solemn assurance that
they were pledged to the Homestead Meas
ure :? IF Douglas has been sincere in his
endeavors for the past twenty-five years to
benefit the '''poor man" by giving him 160
acres Of land wide the Pioneer), why is it
that no allusion is made to the subje in
his platform? Read it over deliberately
again, and you will find nothing pertaining
to this important subject. 1t is true the
Convention adopted the following resolu-
ton, viz: 4rlv . -. 49,. i. ..
Resolved,- That the Democratic party are in
favor of the acquisition of the island Of Cuba
on such terms as shall be honorable to our
selves and just to Spain. !, .l.si c.i #.
~ There's the nub to the whole NATTER
"A Homestead Bill would send emigration
westward and thereby increase the growth
Of new Free States, while the acquisition
of Cuba would add to. the Slave power. a
wide extent of Territory, aud give new
any powerful impetus to the peculiar in
stitution. Hence the vote Of Douglas ID

A PRETTY ROMANCE SPoMED.-A few days since
we copied an article from the Cincinnati Gazette in
which i; was stated that young girl named MARY
JANE JOHNSON of GAINESVILLE, Tenn had eloped with
and married a fellow by the name of WAITE who
took her to Cincinnati and there deserted her, when
she attempted to commit suicide. The GAINESVILLE
JefsrSOaidn of the 10th says:
We have been informed of some circumstances
which while they corroborate the statement of the
Young LADY that she came from this city will add
but little to her credit.
Our readers will remember that about two months
since, we made mention of the marriage of a Miss
johnson to young man named Vim. Oughten, in
this city and her abandonment by him some four or
five days after the marriage After the publication
of that article, we were induced to believe that
perhaps 0ughten was not much to blame
for leaving her, had at first supposed though
not entirely bameeSs. We informed that he
was induced to marry her upon the strength of
tain letters exhibited by her TO him which she preten
ded to have received informing her that by the death
of certain relatives she had fallen heircss TO large
estates in Mississippi, valued at about $4,000
These letters it is said were prepared by her and
dropped in the post Office. Upor discovering the
fraud practised upon him OUghten Immediately left
her and the city.
We learn now, that she is the Identical lady acting
so prominent part this Cincinnati romance.
Though young, and VirtuOus too far
informed she seems to have mania for getting
married and representing herself heiress. The
story about her money is understood here to be all
CANNON, and if she has married any man by the
name Of Waite she is certainly dong a very large
business in the way of getting husbands though she
does not succeed so well in making them stick. She
is certainly very fast, and If she keeps at his
rate for a few years she will have as many hus-
bands as Brigham Young has wives, though not
perhaps. as many children.
