AN lLLusTRATIoN.-This thing called
Popular Sovereignty reminds MS Of the
story Of the two Druids of the olden time,
who were travelling along the road one
day, and met at spot where a shield
was erected by the road.s side. One con.
tended that the shield was gold. the other.
that it was silver. From words they came
to blows. and fought till they were both
exhausted and nearly cut in pieces. when
they discovered that they were both right.
or both wrong. according to their stand.
point Of view +; for one side Of the shield
was gold, and the other silver.
So with Douglas "great principle"
as expounded by himself. The Southern
Democracy claim that it allows them
to take their slaves into Territory, and,
according to the Dred Scott decision. the
people have no right to pass laws to pro-
hibit them. The Northern Democracy
claim that the people Of Territory. like
those Of State. have perfect right Ell.
ther to admit or exclude slavery. Thus
the two wings are lighting and ripping
out each others bowels and when they
are near enough dead to reason the mat.
ter, they will find that it means either way,
Just as they are pleased to look at it.

the Republicans are satisfied with theirs.

such decisive majority, that they will
never again make stand. The voters
are in the County to accomplish it. if they

when Blakely moved that the candidates
before the Convention for nomination
foot the bill. The proposition was re-
csived with tremendous applause. and
Blakely offered to plank down 800 for
his part. This was rejected. as it was
desired that all the candidates should be
taxed equally. It was thsn ordered that
all the candidates should march up to
the Secrstary's desk in rotation. and reg.

Judge James II. Birch. well known to
the people Of Northwest Missouri,
(many of them to their sorrow,) made .
Douglas speech at Oregon. last week.
giving about as fair an illustration Of
Douglas "great principle" - We have
seen. From what We can learn. the fol-
lowing is the substance Of portion Of
his speech:
"What foolishness it Is to attempt
to force Slavery upon . people who
will not have it, and cannot be COM
PEELED to. What is the use in trying to
make Kansas Slave State, when her
people, with all the advantages in our
favor, have voted it DOWN. We have

all these things. we have failed /: and why

That is Douglas Popular Sovereignty,

forced upon Territory, by fraud. vic.

The BELL RALLY.-The Bell rally. on
Saturday. was not attended, by many per.
sons from abroad, but goodly number
of people came in from the surrounding
country. In the afternoon an ash pole
was raised, and very 6ne banner run
up.
The Bell men we're treated very shah
billy by the Douglasites. in various ways.
In some places they kept people from
coming. by telling them there was to be
no pole raised that it was . Black Re-
publican trap. gotten up to bring them to
White Cloud, to fleece them. After the
raising. . crowd Of Douglasites collested
at q saloon close by. brought out liquor
by the pitcher full. swilled it down in the
street, and kept yelling for Douglas and
ridiculing the Bell men. Considering
that the Douglasites in the States are coun.
ting upon tho Bell vote. and that the party
in this County have almost to man been
voting the Democratic ticket. such treat
ment was very ungenerous, to say the
least, and will not tend to add strength
to the Democratic ticket. Wonder il
that liquor was the 6rst instalment OF
those forty dollars?

Record of a Democratic Candidate.

Record of q Democratic Candidate.
Efforts will be made to induce Free
State Democrats to vote the County tick
ct, (Blakely included.) because the can
didates are Democrats. 1t will be urged
that Democrats should unite for the sake
of the party, even though bad men are
on the ticket. The charming word De-
mocracy will be made to do extraordins-
ry service. in coaxing up those persons
who are welded to the name. For tho
benefit of such persons. we propose to
show what kind of . Democrat Charley
Blakely is. how be loves the party. and
what sacrifices he would make for the
sake Gs Democracy.
In the Fall of 1857, when Gov. Wal
ker's Administration was fairly under
way, a movement was made to drop the
name Pro-Slavery. and organize the De-
mocratic party. The Pro-Slavery feel
ing still ran high. and Walkers official
conduct did not please that element. At
that stage of affairs. meeting was called
at Iowa Point, to indorse Walkers Ad-
ninistration. and organize the Democrat.
ic party. x. K. Stout headed the move
ment, and the meeting assembled one
night, in bis store.room. At late hour
that night, a pedestrian was vending his
way along tho streets of Iowa Point,
when his attention was attracted by loud
and by no means pleasant talking in the
aforesaid store. Some persons were STAN
ding outside. looking in at the window,
and our pedestrian approached and did
likewise. There was a row in the Con-
vention-there being pretty nearly an
equal division between the Walker and
anti Walker men. x. K. Stout was the
leader of the former, and Charley Blake
ly of the latter. Stout had introduced
resolutions. and was arguing that certain
things must be done, in order to save and
strengthen the Democratic party. At
this Blakely jumped up. foaming with
rage. and exclaimed: "To hell with your
Democratic partyl What do 1 care for
Democracy. so that the Pro- Slavery par
ty preyailsi"
That is what ho thought Of the Demo-
cratic party, and no doubt still thinks of
it. He acts with it, because it is the
only chance he secs for men of his stamp
to get into power. If there was any pos.
sibility of the o-Slavery party carrying
the County. without its Democratic dis
guise, he would be the same now that he
was three years ago. So with the BAL
ance of the ticket. II the Pro Slavery
men had q majority in the County. We
doubt not that nearly every candidate (if
not every one) on the Democratic ticket
would exclaim: ITO hell with your De.
mocratic partyl What do care for
Democracy, so that the Pro- Slavery par
