r. Those who have been hailing the
nomination of Stephen A. Douglas as the
triumph of the popular sovereignty doctrine
within the parry, had better consider the
mater awhile before giving iull ven, 10 their
enthusiasm. The victory is certainly not
the mos; complete in degree-the vauquish
ed having come off the field with their col
ors flying quite as gaily-and it is possible
that il may prove also to be very detective
kind
Tie following resolution, offered by Mr..
Wicsliffe Of Louisiana, because he said it
would give Douglas forty thousand msjorisy
in his State, and adopted By the Convention
at Baltimore which nominated the Small
Giant Tor the Presidency, sbonid be studied
as . part Of the Douglas platform:

the Cincinnati platform, that during the ex-

power Of the Territorial Legislature over
the subject Of the domestic relations. as the
same has been or shall be hereafter e.
nally determined by the Supreme Court
of the United States, and enforced with
promptness and fidelity by every branch OF
the Federal Government.
1t is apparent on the least inspection tina,
this resolution goes much further than 1.-THE

which Mr.. Douglas put into the Kansas Ne

were left perfectly free TO fo:m and regu-
late their domestic institutions in their own
way" Secondly. it makes this power OF
the Territories judicial question unreserv-
eddy. Thirdly, it intimates that it has al
ready been decided, Tin the bred Scott
case or if not, that it yet will be in the
manner foreshadowed in that case. And
finally, it pledges every department of the
Government to enforce that decision.

A letter was r,sI from D. 5. Dickinson,

their non,lnations en1anate from the States

Breckenridge and Lane He gave history
of the establishment OF the two-thlrds rule
in National Conventions, which was 10 order
to prevent the Anti Democratic States com
bining with few Democratic States &c
nominate a candidate disagreeable to those
States which would have to elect him.
Neither Breckenridge nor Douglas got

Democrat was at liberty to vote fer either
The President then went at some length
into an argument TO show that each citizeI
of any State has the same right to protect
ion to his property in the common Terri
tories with any citizen of any of the othe
States.
In conclusion the President said that thi
was probably the last political speech h
should ever make. His position rendered
improper for him to participate 10 the can
vass, although his heart was in it. He spok
of the long time he had been acquainted witt
the city Of Washington, and wished all it
