Douglas arterhis Mother.

The little giant has not yet found his dear
mother. He rs travelled all over the New
England states, and is now vending his way
south. The following paragraph is taken
from speech of recent date:
- do not intend, as a general thing, to
enter into the political discussions of this year,
II is the first time in twenty seven years tn It
have looked on at a political fight without
taking hand in it. | am now enjoying n
kolyday, visiting the watering places for the
first time. taking n little recreation, and it
seems, speaking little just for exercise
The speech from which the above was ta-
ken. was the fourth one delivered within
twenty-four hours, and yet he is speaking a
little just for exercise" He is calmly look
ing on at political 6sh. without taking any
hand in it," and yetOt the same time is doing
more stamping than any four political speak
crs, not candidates, ia the United States. Th,
above assertion reminds us of one Of tn,
Dogberry meetings, which passed stringen
resolutions and then resolved that thi
meeting has not been held" We fear tn
know nothing pill, mixed up by the friend
of Douglas, will not diminish the necessity c
his speaking little just for exercise"

who's Responsible |!

Such is the answer we get when we hint
to Douglasite concerning the corruptions of
the present administration. Now we should
like to know if they are not responsible, who
are Who were more unscrupulous in urg-
ing the election of Buchanan than these same
Douglas men? Who crammed more lies in .
to their papers and speeches in aid Of him,
and who, while they were permitted access
to the public crib, were more &C live in their
support Of his Administration Who have
more responsibility for the inauguration of
that Administration and all the ills it brought
upon the country, than these same Douglas
lea Iers in the free States ? They elected
Buchanan and sustained his Administration
by their votes and their influence until the
Treasury was locked in their faces. 1t is all
a sham for them now to seek TO shun their
proper responsibility. Let the people re-
Member this, and, judging By the elements
composing the Douglas leaders that his elec
ton would inaugurate still worse corruptions
and still more iniqutous proceedings.

Popular Sovereignty in Practice

IOpuHNf sovereignty an practice.
The Slndusky Register asks its readers to
note the practical workings of Popular Sow
ereignty" as rxampihad ia the present state
Of affairs in Texas. Through all the western
and northern parts Of the State universal panic
reigns Negroes are being hung up by the
neck daily without judge or jury, and quite a
number of white men h I'VE been served in the
same way. To be n stranger and in a hurry,
is considered sufficient cause in some parts of
Texas now to lynch a man. This is Just an
illustration Of how popular sovereignty -
works where slavery is let in, and the people
are professedly given authority to establish
freedom. The new States which were to be
erected out Of Texas were to be " admitted
into the Union with or without slavery as the
people" should determine. Yet to be un-
friendly to slavery and friendly TO frt edom in
that part of Texas out of which additional
States are TO be carved, would now subject a
man to hanging on the nearest ,ree. If sla-
very is let into Territory, as the Douglas
doctrines let it in and protect it, there is nc
choice left for freedom more than Napoleon
left the voters Of France when he was elected
Emperor. 1t must be slavery and only sla.
very or the rope and the nearest tree. Think
of the Texas scare in this connection and a:

The Power to "RcsuIate."

The Breckinridge men of the South charged
Douglas principle with claiming authority
over the Supreme Court, whereupon his
friends come to his rescue and declared that
Douglas agreed with every principle decided
in the Dred Scott case, but that the point to
which the Territorial Legislature might Con-
sttulionaly regulate Slavery" had not been
decided. Note the words. 1t is not control
or dispose of Slavery, but to regulate it, in
the same way that the relation Of husband
and wife, and parent and child are "regula-
ted" No such idea as the abolition OF Sa-
very by the Territories, is recognized by Mr..
Douglas As even in question. What say our
Popular Sovereigntyites to this ?

in pouring out their invectives upon he de-
voted head of Sam" Ithas not been very
long since the burden of democratic Draw
lings was "know nothing prescription of the

know nothing fairly excited them TO "holy

haven't word TO say against them. 1t is
easy to infer the reason. The Douglas par
ty have entered into full communion with the

In ol er words, by combination they are
