How TO WRITE \ COOP DoUGLAs EDToRIAL
by far the best editorial we remember to
have seen in the Register for long time was
one in reply to the Mercury's "The Terrific
rial Question in Nutshell" With the ex
ception of tIief eXordilm and pproration,
il was cerJatim and Hteratim aa extract fran
the opinion Of CHjcf Justice 7aney il the
D,'ed Scott case. Nothing more is needed to
defend oar cause than to quote the Dred
Scott decision, which Judge Dougas has de-
Tended in over Il hundred speeches and with
more success than any man in the nation
Feeling this, we have long since made this
greatest Of judicial decisions our text book,
and copous extracts therefrom serve as the
most appropriate appendix to every copy of
Mr. Forsyth's speech in the Legislature,
which was printed Uy request Of a number Of
his friends, and extensively scattered over
the country. We intend in few days to re-
publish some Of the articles on that decision
that we wrote as late back as last summer
and fall. Meanwhile we give this recipe to
our companions in arms in the good cause
Quote largely from the Dred Scott decision
and when you are pressed for time in an ed
itorial, just extract at length without quota
tion marks. Your opponents. if wise, will
take good care to remrin silent. Mobile

The speaking was commenced by Frank
Hereford, of Sacramento. This gentleman
made an able argument in support of the reg
ularity Of the nomination of Stephen A.
Douglas. Besides this, he proved "by the
record that every statesman in the Demo-

was fully and unequivocally committed to the
doctrines Of non-interveution and popular
sovereignty, as laid down ly the Democracy
who nominated Mr.. Douglas, in language as
strong as any which has ever been used by
Mr.. Douglas himself He also proved by
reading from it, that the Dred Scott decision
plainly recognized the principles of popular
sovereignty and nonintervention bv Con
gress on the subject of slavery in the Terri
tories. And in this connection alluded to
the fact that Chief Justice Taney, whose
opinion is so often quoted hy the supporters
of breckenridge, is openly and warmly in ia,
vor of the election OF Mr. Douglas Every
argument was sustaiDed by reading the
proof
Mr.. Hereford spoke something over one
hour and was followed by Mr. Cofroth. also
of Sacramento, who entertained his audience
at considerable length.
