On returning to his residence, September

number OF gentlemen were presented, but
no address was made. The Prince then
lunched with the legislature The royal
party afterwards rode to Chandiere falls and
the suspension bridge, where they dismount-

The Eus;onist Confused.

There is nothing fair or straightforward irf
Douglass politics, his platform, or his lead

all its departments--ha has infected the terms
of the fusion with the Know. .Nothings in the

VIEWS OF TIE PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER

Among all the candidates for the Presiden-
cv of the United States now in the field,
Abraham Lincoln of Illinois, seems TO be re-
garded by the people here as the only one
who presents the appearance, enphaticaly
and literally, OF the man fthe people. With

ofthose exquisit.ly polit attentions one finds
in the man Of the world, and especially in
the aspiring, politicians nuture1 in the pat
rician atmosphere Of Washington, Lincoln
both looks the man acts the gentleman, and
mirrors at once tho k,enness of.astute states
man and the firmness of the rigid executive

wanted PRESIDENT free fiom the corruptiont
which long off ,ial rasidence at the seat of
government isNalculate1 to entail; and from
what have heard and seen, within
| the space of few months, a majority of the
people Of the north and many south are
satisfied that in Lincoln they have found a
man who comes nearer to their ideas in this
respect than any other named canlidate.-

E.fncoin and the Mexican War.

That our readers may see how shamefully
Locofoco speakers are misrepresenting Mr..
Lincoln's sentiments respecting the Mexican
war, we have taken the pains to look up his
speech delivered on the 2Sth of July, ls4a,
in the House of Representatives. He said
The declaration that we have always ep-
posed the war, is true or false according as
we may understand the term opposing the
war" If to say "the war is unnecessarily
and unconstitutionally commenced by the
President" be opposing the war, then the
Wings have very generally opposed it.
| Whenever they have spoken at all, they have
said this, and have said it on what appeared
good reasons to them. The marching of an
array into the midst of a peaceful Mexican
settlement, frightening the people away, leav-
ing their growing crops and other property
TO destruction, to you may appear perfectly
amiable, peaceful, unprovoking proceeding,
but it does not appear so to us. So to call
such an act, to us appears no other than ma
ked, impudent absurdity, and we speak of it
accordingly. But utif-when the war had be-
gun, and had become the cause of the coun-
| try-the giving of our money and blood, in
common with yours, was support Of war,
/ lilci IL Is llOL tIuc tIltt VIC iidSc always op-
posed the war.
| With few individual exceptions you have
constantly had our votes here for the ncces-
sary supplies. And, more than this, you
! have had the services, the blood, and the lives
of our political hrethern in every trial--the
humble and the diStinguished-yo have had
them. Through suffering and death
by disease and battle--they have endured,
and fought, and fallen with you. Clay

The following is condensed version Il
Mr.. Douglass great speech. Stripped of all
unnecessary verbiagc, it reads as follows.
Every body will at once recognize it as Mr..
Douglass for every newspaper in the coun-
try has printed it at least sixteen times, and
besides, every man, woman and child in the
nation knows it by heart
"ThiS government fellow-citizens, is gov
ernrnent Of self government, founded on the
great principle of popular Sovereignty. Ev-
cry State in this government, fellow citizens.
has its own laws, and the laws Of each State
hest for that State, and no other State 1t is
the right of each government TO regulate its
own affairs, in its own way, subject to no in
tervention from any othei government ex-
cept the Federal government This great
principle of non.lntervention, gentleman, is
the only means Of cxtinguishing the fires of
sectional agitation, and preserving The Union.
Popular Sovereignty, gentlemen, means the
right Of every people--except niGgcrs-to
manage their own domestic affairs in their
own way. 1t was this glorious principi,
which Tough, bled and conquered in our
Revolutionary struggle. The people OF the
territories, gentlemen. are sovereign over all
subjects which relate to their own internal
government, except niggers The Supreme
Court, llow-citizens. has exclusive ilriS-
dction over that species Of property, and
it is the duty of all good citizens to sub
NIT to the decisions of the Supreme Court
This, gentlemen. is the great principle
Of non-intervention, which have devoted
my life to maintain. The people Of the
territories are perfectly able to control their
own internal effarS. without interference.
and the Supreme Court is perfectly able to
settle all political questions, without Fed
eral intervention.
Popular sovereignty, f'llow- citizens,
means the right of every man to wallor
his own niggers without any interference
on the part Of his ncighbors. Slavery is
a domestic relatien, Just as marriage and
parcntage are domestic relations. In this
view of the case don't care, and in fact
it makes no difference, whether slavery is
voted up or down. Tfit is voted up, it's all
right: and if it's voted down. the Supreme
Court will make it all right, which amounts
to the same thing in the end. This, fellow
citizens, is the great and glorious principle
of Popular Sovereignty, which maintains
that the domestic relations Of the people of
the Territories should he left TO the undis.
turbcd control of the people. In other
words. gentlemen, the people of the Terrific
ries must be left perfectly free to form and
regulate their own institutions in their own
wav. subject to the Constitution and tbs
Supreme Court" Immense applause.l 'r

From the cate City.l
Tarc Dem lcGrRsEc History.

MEss1s EDIToRs: Some friend has sent
me copy Of the Democratic Clarion, pub
lished at Bloomfield, the residence of Mr..
General Ellis, Douglas candidate for State
Treasurer. An article in that paper charges
me, among other things, with falsehood in
my article of the Sd instant, and says:
"Mr. Ellis was defeated in this Davis
county, nor did he invaribly run behind the
Democratic ticket, but eUery time leading the
highest Democratic caaRilate for any office,
except in one case"
Now this, like most Democratic history, is
all bosh. have in my possession the official
vote of Davis county, for two elections only,
when Mr. f. was candidatc-that for lS47
and 1912 But know the result of another
the first, which makes three in which
this doughface, (pardon me.) this Douglas
candidate ran behind his ticket, and one in
which he was defeated, the CLarioa's state
ment to the contrary notwithstanding.
The first time Mr.. f. ran for office in the
Hairy Nation" VIM. d. Evans. S. W.
McAtec, Abram Weaver, Israel Kister and
other Democrats, both north and south of
Fox were elected, while this banker-general
was defeated by c. S. Lockman. Now the
question arises, was he Democrat at that
time? Ifso, he ran behind his ticket as such
and ran behind pretty much all of it.
1t also appears from the official vote of
1s47 that Bill Thompson, Democrat, had
$40 votes VIM. Cameron, a Democrat, had
A27 votes, and General Ellis, supposed to be
Democrat, had only 36S votes. Here, then
We see he ran behind his ticket second
time Again, 1S49, from the official count,
it appears that VIM Patterson, Democrat
had 430 votes; Jesse Williams and George
Gillaspy, both Democrats, had 439 votes
each; Samuel W. McAtee, a democrat, had
454 votes and a. III. Putnam, a Democrat
had 430 votes Now according to the state,
ment in the Clarion, made under the nose OF
this General, and by and with his consent
no doubt, - it appears that Mr. Ellis invaria
bly, led the Democratic ticket In this. as
in the other two eases, he seems to have
been leading them by the tail, for at this el-
ection he only received 4o7 votes.
| am sorry that have not the official vote
of each election a. which this man Ellis was
a candidate. For am almost certain that in
every instance he was found leading the
Democratic column by the taH, as in the
three cases I have given Itis rather M
awkward way of leading the thing, hut as
the Douglas men have no particular method
of procedure no fixed principles or policy
and just at this time scarcely know one enc
from the other-l propose to allow them
il they lead at all, to lead after
the fashion their banker general led tn,
Democracy of DAVIS in 1915, ls47 and
lS49. a
As Mr.. Ellis is now the candidate Of the
Bobtail party, he should bear in mind thi'
fact that should he undertake to lead tn
unterritied this time, as he has formerly lee
them, it will require firm grip!

PHYSIOLOGICAL SCIENCE.

M. Bernard, in 4 memoir commune
Gated to the Acodam;e oes Sciences,
on the subject Of animal temperature,
and the means of it's maintenance,
states the following as the conclusions
he has arrived at:
First, the digestive apparatus im-
parts constant heat to the blood, in
such manner that the venous blood
is warmer in this apparatus than the
arterial. ..., BID .....
Second, the bluod which leaves the
digestive apparatus by the hepatic
veins is constant source of the calo-
rification of the blood that proceeds
to the heart by the vena cava inferior;
it is, indeed, the principal source, for
nowhere in the circulatory system is
the blood SO warm as in the hcpatic
veins: j. @: ssst5.a 1T %a, ....z... a.a
Third, among the organs which con.
tribute to the calori6cation Of the blood
in the digestive apparatus, the liver
occupies the first rank whence it re.
suits that this organ must be regarded
as one of the principal sources OF
heat. la@1sH. .@s-,t-.,9-r t&..t
Fourth, the circulation of the blood
through the lungs is cause of the
cooling Of this fluid. nj ~
Fifth, the lungs must not thencefor:
ward be regarded as source of ami
!mal heat.
Sixth, the transformation Of venous
into arterial blood, in the living ami
NAL, is not coincident with an increase
of heat in this fluid, but with a di-
minution of temperature. mane .a
