containing 100 pages,
and sent to every part Of the country up
on the receipt of only Is cents. Who
ever would "sup full Of horrors" and
feel them all true. ought to read this now
book. Whoever doubts that the slave
trade is carried on now with IS much cru
elty as in former times, had better consult
these pages and read about the "Pon-
cheets," the "Gloria," the Napoleon. "
the .'Cabeuda." the "Augila." and some
other "long. low, black" craft. Who
ever disbelieves that branding. poisoning.
drowning. and burning blacks are COM
mon practices with white men. had better
psruse the story of an individual who wa
engaged in them for fifty years. If any

due. in the same way. If the Commi''
sioners intend to donate that money to
the County. we shall have to knock un'
der; but does anybody suppose they
will? We ask whether the people o'
the County will not have to refund it

independent candidate for Sheriff. We
have heard report, (but do dot vouch
for its correctness which has a probs.
bility of being true. It is said that he is
running merely as an auxiliary to Blake

Democrats who would not vote for him.

keep them from voting for Hough. If
there were another anti Republican can.
didats out, be knew that these Democrats
would support him in preference to .

brought out, to keep those Democrats
from the Republican candidate who would
not support Blakely. At the same time.
II was hoped that Hardy could secure At

What Popular Sovereignty has Done.

Stephen A. Douglas, the Northern Democrat
ic candidate for the Presidency, and the great
apostle OF Popular Sovereignty, in the Senate
Of the United States, on the 10th day of May

been as follows
Under it the people of New Mexico have in
PRODUCED and protected Slavery in the whole of
that Territory
Under it Il tract of free territory five times as
large as the State of New York has been con

Under it Slavery has been extended from the

Under it Slavery has gone far North as 3S

EtF-" u. n !" still insists that the Re.

Rs E. N" still insists that the Re-
publican party is pledged against the
admission of any more slave States, be-
cause state convention in Illinois in
1854 adopted resolution so declaring.
1t seems very strange to us that :" E. N"
does not go to our national platforms for
declaration of our principles and the
measures we favor. We know that there
were organizations in several States OF
the Union previous to 1856, opposed to
Democracy and the further spread of
slavery. We know that those organiza-
tons went under different names, Anti
Nebraska, Republicans, DC. We know,
too, that representatives from those var
ious organizations met at Pittsburg in
Feb. 1856, and, at the sacrifice Of some
extreme opinions held in some sections
by individual concession for the gem
eral good--formed what has since been
known as the Republican party, which
held its first National Convention in June
of the same year. We know, as well as
" E. n" that previous to this, in some
sections, the demand was that no more
slave States should be admitted into the
Union. But we know, too, that this was
not insisted upon, and became no part
of the declaration of principles put forth
by the new party at Pittsburg or at Phil
adelphia. Nor is it incorporated in the
Chicago platform, nor has it been since
adopted as the declaration of any Repub-
lican State Convention. 1t is therefore
not measure to which the Republican
party is in any sense pledged-it is not
part of Republican doctrine. 1t is not
necessary that it should be, for it is al
most morally impossible that, should the
Republican policy of excluding slavery
from the Territories be adopted, that an
other slave State would present itself for
admission.
We hope e n" will also see that
although there may have been Repub
lican party in 1854, the Republican par
ty was not then formed.

voted up or voted down. But it is one OF
those short, terse sentences that every
man can recollect and every man repeat,
and which will therefore be kept in the
public mind and upon the public tongue.
Being unable to suppress it, they have
taken to denying that Mr.. DOUGLAS ever
used it as attributed to him. Some speak
ers in this region, who are not particu-
larly careful of statement. have taken to
making this denial Now let us see
what Mr.. DOUGLAS did say. In his
speech on the Lecompton Constitution,
made December eth, 1857, he used the
following language
But am told on all sides : ooh just wait
the pro-slavery clause will be voted down. y
That does not obvlate any of my objections
it does not diminish any of them. You have
no more right TO force Free State Constitution
upon Kansas than Slave State Constitution
If Kansas wants Slave State Constitution, she
has right to it if she wants Free State
Constitution, she has right to it. 1t is none
vi NY DuSlIcsS WHICH way tHc sHtNerN clauSe is

VOTED DOWN OR VOTED UP."-Con.
Globe, le57-5S, part page Is.
He cares not whether the people OF
Kansas frame slave constitution or free
constitution cares not whether Kan
sas is made slave State or free State.
The language is as distinct as language
can be. He does not care whether sla-
very goes up or down in Kansas and il
not in Kansas, would he in the other ter
ritories +? And if not in the other terri
tories, where could it go that he would
care If he does not care whether ter
ritories vote slavery up or down, does he
care whether the system is voted up or
down Just as the territories decide the
question, just SO does the system advance
or recede. If he does not care whether
Kansas votes for or against slavery, he
does not care whether the system is sus-
tanned or overthrown. This is the inev-
liable conclusion, and no amount Of soph-
istry or denunciation can release Mr..
DOUGLAS from the anomalous, the heart
less, the Infamous position of indiffer
ence to the spread of human slavery.
