A popular Sovereignty" Man

Few, at the South, deny the power of
Congress to PASS LAWS FOR THE
PROTECTION OF SLAVE PROPER
TY IN THE TERRITORIES. Icer-
tainly do mot.-HERscmEL V. JOHNSON.
The Breckenridge men claim nothing
more than that; and yet the man who ex-
pressed this sentiment, is running on the
same ticket with Stephen A. Douglas
the great "Squatter" who ore'ends to say
Congress has no right to interfere with
slavery in the Territories in any manner.
Herschel Y. johnson, as we all know, ac-
cepts and runs upon. the same platform
with Douglas. Now take this expression
of Johnson's and put it with Douglas dec
laration that he accepts the bred Scott
Decision Gas an authoritative exposition of
the Constitution" and what becomes of
popular Sovereignty" This bred Scott
Decision declares that the Constitution
pledges the Federal Government to protect
shareholders in their fright" to take their
slaves to the Territories and to keep them
there, whether the people Of those Terri
tories may wish it or not. Tho fact is,
this popular Sovereignty" is a mere
dodge. Douglas is afraid to come out fair
and square and meet the issue of Slavery
Extension, and to shield himself, has adop-
ted this dodge-which is but shallow
nothing. Through this, Douglas hopes to
be President, but he will have to "dodge"
again before he succeeds.

lowing letter received by a friend:
CARL1NvlLLE, July 24t!,, 1860.
I have been here two weeks, most, and
have done nothing but go a bl'ckberrying
and attend political meetings. Last Fri
day there was tri- county celebration
about twenty miles from here. Thursday
evening Lovejoy, Judd and Kreisman were
here and spoke to multitude in front Of
the Court House. Krcisman spoke il,
German, and I could understand nearly
all. lovejoy is giant, We did not
leave till twelve; aud were up at three next
morning: At five o'clock the procession
started. I can give you no idea of the en-.
thusiasm and excitement, from allroads they
came pouring in, with flags, banners and
music. There were five thousand and for
ty-eight teams, containing from two to six.
ty persons each fiat. boats decorated, and
filled with pretty girls; and the most deaf
ening shouts rent the air. All the differ
ent companies Of Wide-Awakes were there
in uniform. Some of those old calomel-
eating farmers sat with mouths wide open
and tears Of ecstacy rolling down their
cheeks. And this has been such dark
corner-even a year ago Lovejoy could
not have spoken here. When he spoke
the railing was knocked off in front of the
stage SO, as dye Palmer said, all could
sec that he hal not hoops and other ap-
pendages. There is such Consideration in
the Democratic ranks. Every day brings
recruits to the Republicans. In all that
crowd on Friday, there was no disorder.
and it was a noticeable fact, as we were
going, none but druken Irishmen hurrahed
for Douglas. Last evening Hussarick,
from Cincinnati vas here and spoke three
hours to the Germans. I liked him very
much was introduced to him and had a
little talk. The De nocrats tried to disturb
the meeting, Of course, but that will get
more German votes for the Republicans.
llurrah for Lincoln! Al.

Letter from the Editor.

We give to following extracts from a
letter received from the Editor last week,
dated at Pittsburg:
I took stage at Anoka, and
was glad to meet our good friend MI Bar
rett, one of the good folks who must be very
intimately known to be appreciated. Cn-
fortunately we had taken tickets on differ
ent routes, or should have had him with
me to Chicago. Lieut.. Ruggles, U. s. A.
was in the stage, on lis way to Jefferson
Barracks, whittier he was taking the band
from Fort Ripley. He is polished, gen.
tlemanly and pleasant; but with little
more of the air of an officer than is quite
necessary; but this is cxcusable in young
MN. For the first ten years you are all
apt to feel the importance Of your boards
and the dignity of manhood to be some

ease.
We got into St. Anthony in good time,
took supper at the St. Charles and arrived
ut St. Paul half past ten. went on to
the Merchants, and found the promt, and
attentive reception one is always certain of
receiving there. Mr.. Weber is certainly
the best hotel clerk have ever seer. The
prompt and cheerful air with which he
looks after the women and ladies and little
toddIing nice things, with the last trunk,
and basket, and carpet big, and handbook,
and umbrella, is a curiosity. There is no
cavalier air about it, as if it were some-
thing that had to be done and it was best
to get over i: as pleasantly as possible, no
look Of martyrdom or heroic endurance.
but kind, ready interest, as if he thought
"poor things how tired you do look" He
is certainly the ne plus ultra of hotel
clerk, as Mr. and Mrs. Belote are of host
hostess. In the morning I found Mr..
Nourse, who attended to me as usual, just
as if it were matter of course that he
were to get, and bring, and fetch, and have
anything wanted. I shall keep an eye
on cousin George lest some of these days
when I am in the very aush of my bank
ing operations, he comes on with trench
yers, the best Of them, need watch;ng.-
Amongst those met in St. Paul, was Mr.
Louis, Gov. Ramsey's business man and
my good friend. He is looking much bet
ter than when I saw him before, but was
hurryius to the boat and could not even
get messages from him to carry to Pitts
burg, his old home and mine.

Protest Against tho Land Sales.

The following preamble and resolutions
against the Sale Of the Public Lads wsss
offered by G. G. Andrews At meeting st;
S-uk CeItre, on the 4th instant, and pass.
ed unanimously:
Whereas, 1t is reported that large
body Of the public lands lying in this ststs
have been advertised to be disposed of Is
public sale during the coming fail, and
that settlers have been notified to prove up
and pay for their lands before the day q
sale in order to secure their right Of PIE.
emption, and -.-. s.=a ..
Whereas, The bringing Of the public
lands into market a. advertised will b of
no public advantage, and will benefit 10
persons but land officers and dealers il
land warrants: by increasing their emolp.
ments and profits, and will add nothing
material to the Federal Revenue ioasmoca
as the lands will be paid for with Land wss-
rants, aud
Whereas, We are satisfied that not more
than one fifteenth part Of the settlers in
this neighborhood will be prepared to pay
for and preempt their claims the coming
fall, and if they should 80 soon be driven
to the alternative Of p1eempting OF lo,ing
their claims and the valuable improvements
they have made thereon, great hardship
and distress will be brought upon them,
and most deplorable injury be done to
the welfare of the State at large, Therefore
Resolred, That We earnestly depreeats
and protest against the bringing any part
of the lands in Minnesota into market the
coming fall if euch sale shall coerce tho
settlers into the prsemption Of their
claims.
Resolved, That aside from the misfor.
tune and wrong which would be brought
upon present settlers by such sale, great
and incalculable calamity would occur in
future to the State by permitting the IN.
occupied lands to be entered BY speeuls-
tors at private sale.
Resolved, That the policy indicated in
the Presidents inaugural addr. IS was that
the public lands should be reserved for
the use Of actual settlers. That policy II
jest aud wise, and has met with general
appreciation; and we respectfully call On
the Administration to adhere to it.
Resolue.', That the compromise Home.
stead Bill which was passed BY an almost
unanimous vote by the Senate and House,
and which was vetoed by the Presid.nt,
contained c! use granting two years fur
thcr time to actual settlers in which to pay
for their lands, Us well as reducing tho
price to 623 cents per acre; and such pro-
vision should serve a. solemn remon-
STRANGE by the people of the United States
against bringing the lands into market.
