The Minneapolis Plaindealer complains that
chanan." Suppose we do He vetoed the
Homestead! And we abuse Douglas because
he lodged voting for it.-Minnesotian.
DOUGLAS voted for the Homestead bill,
and was known as its most active supporter
in and out of Congress, when OLD ABE
was retailing wbiskey down among the
Egyptians in Illinois. Our gallant candi-
date is no summer friend of that measure,
but was its unainching advocate when few
favored it, north or south, audit was especial
ly opposed by the politiciansin the old States.
In the Congressional Globe the name Of
STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS will be found re-
corded in favor of the passage of liberal land
laws, with the votes of such Republicans as
ALEXANDER RAMSEY against them. The
Minnesotian falsely says DOUGLAS lodged
voting on the Homestead bill. DOUGLAS
never lodged a vote in his life. Friends
and foes always know where to find him.
He is not the kind of man to dodge. The
only vote on the homestead bill he missed
last session was taken on the day be followed
his dead child to its last resting place.
Shame on the libellers who seize upon an incl
dent of this character, to misrepresent man
whose whole political life gives the lie to
their implied charge.

Popular Sovereignty Acknowledged
to be the only Wise and Fair So
luton Of the Slavery Difficulty.

The New York Times, leading Repub-
lican paper, though generally very inde>
pendent in its views of public men and
measures, thus speaks of Senator Douglas
and Popular Sovereignty
In the Northern States Mr.. Douglas is strong,
partly on account of his political position, and
partly from his personal qualities. He repre-.
sents more thoroughly than any other public
man, that quickness of intellect, vigor of will,
and rushing restlessness of temper, which
characterize American life.
But aside from these personal characteristics,
Mr.. Douglas is the champion of Popular Sove
reignty and whether that doctrine finds any
warrant in the Constitution, in legal precedents,
in the opinions of the Fathers, or not, it has a
very strong hold upon the popular instinct.
The great mass of the people in all sections,
validity, recognize it as fair, just and safe
way Of solving difficult problem. Let the
people of every Territory decide for themselves
whether they will have slavery among them or
not-let Congress and the Federal Government
abandon all attempts, either to force it upon
This, if not the highest Constitutional ground,
is the ground which satisfies the instinct of
nine.tenths of the American people. If it were
generally felt that the adoption of this policy
depended upon the election of Mr.. Douglas, he
would be very formidable candidate. But it
is not The truth is, the slavery question will
be settled on this basis, whatever party may
come into power. This is, under any circum.
stances, to be the practical solution Of the diff
fculty.
1t certainly cannot be settled on that
basis, if either of the two sectional candi-
dates, Lincoln or Breckenridge, should be
elected. While, therefore, the Times is cor
rect in saying that the doctrine of popular
sovereignty, as expounded by Mr.. Douglas,
its great champion, is recognized by the
great mass Of the people in all sections as
fair, just and safe way of solving the Terri
torial slavery question, it is mistaken in sup
posing that such will be its solution, even
though Mr.. Lincoln or Mr.. Breckenridge be
elected. The former is pledged to intervene
to prohibit or abolish slavery in the Terri.
tories, and the latter secedes from the Dem
ocratic party because it repudiates Con-
gressional Intervention for the protection of
slavery. Douglas, alone of all the candi-
dates, is for referring the whole question to
the people.
The weekly pioneer and Democrat. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1855-1865, 1860-07-13
Out OF the Party.

The Providence Post truly says that the
men who support John @. Breckenridge for
President have gone out of the Democratic
party. Nothing can be palmer than this.
In the first place, Mr.. Breckenridge was
nominated by Seceder's Convention. 1t
was neither regularly called nor regularly
held. 1t embraced only one hundred and
eighteen delegates, and had majority dele
cations of any sort from only eight States,
and the delegates from only three States had
been authorized to act in it. 1t was thus,
in its composition and organization, an un-
authorized convention of Boilers from the
Democratic party.
In the second place, the Convention, if
Convention it may be called refused to stand
upon the Democratic platform, but adopted
a platform which has been distinctly repu-
dated by the Democratic party in its National
Convention, while that question was un-
questionably an authoritative body. No.
body will dare deny that the Convention
which met at Charleston on the 23d of April
was the National Democratic Contention
Every State, every Congressional District
was represented in it; and while they were
represented-betore a single delegate had
bolted-a platform was adopted, and that
subsequently adopted by the seceders was
distinctly and emphatically repudiated.
We say, then, that the men and newspa-
pers which stand upon that repudiated plat
form and support its nominees, ARE OUT OF
THE PARTY. Their talk about Democracy
is mere twaddle. No man is Democrat
who stands upon any other than the Demo
cratic Platform, and support any other than
the regular nominees of the party.
The weekly pioneer and Democrat. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1855-1865, 1860-07-13
What was Demanded :

The Albany argus says that assuming
even that the decision of the National
Convention was wrong, in rejecting at Bal
timore, the Alabama and Louisiana dele
gates, the question of the admission of the
Seceders could not have been so settled as
to avoid break in the Convention. The
Argus then adds q
When the motion to reconsider was made,
and the convention took its recess on Friday,
the New York delegates inquired OF the repre-
sentative men of the South what they de.
manded?
s'The retraction of every vote that the con,
