from the London Tunes, the great Thunder
err of Europe, and the prince of newspa-
pcrdom. The Times, as it will be seen,
predicts the sure coming downfall of Aus
tria. and in response to its predictions, the
people Of England, as well as millions on
the Continent, win send up a hearty HGod
grant that it may be so.p The people of
this country, too, will join in the wish, and
so will all people, wherever they may be
scattered throughout the world, who have
in their minds and hearts an appreciation
and love for those great free principles
which Austria, the great foe of European
liberty, has so long and SO Fenorselessly

If the Senate Democratic Committee
has taken the true lead of the Democratic
party in its declaration of principles,
Douglas may as we'll hang his harp on

Slavery as enuuciated by this Committee,
is, that Congress has full power and juris-
diction over the territories of the United
States, to protect Slavery therein; or, as
70 the reverse Of the proposition, to ejectit.
This is Republican doctrine, also. 1t has
been held that the territories are under
the control of the Federal Government,
