~ THE DtJTT OS' DEMOCRATS. ®he Cancastei Intelligencer Everv Democrat should feel that it ia hia ' —— l * bounden duty to support, by bis influence and vote, the State and County tickets. He has a perfect right to have hia own opinion about men and measures, but he has no right, if he wishes to be considered a Democrat, to oppose and vote against State or County nominations when fairly and honestly made by a legitimate Convention of the party. If he does so, his own aot at once places him in the ranks of the Opposition, and he must bear the consequences of his voluntary apostacy. | “ He that is not for us is against us,” is a trite but true saying. No man can be a good Democrat who opposes the regular organiza tion of the party, and thereby ministers, directly or indirectly, to the success of the common enemy of our political faith. A soldier would not be tolerated for a moment who would aid and strengthen, directly or indirectly, the enemy at the expense of his friends, nor, for any pretext whatever, turn his back upon his country, and betray the cause in which he had enlisted. The same princi pie holds good in politics. The Democratic party, with all its inherent strength and its adaptation to our Republican institutions, would soon be powerless for good if its regular nominations were not considered binding on every member of the organization.

Swarr, Esq., Chairman of tho County Com mittee, No 13 North Duke street, near the Court House, and get their supplies. In oase of Mr. S.’s absence, the tickets can be had of Messrß. Pyfer & McPhail, whoso office is next door. our/county ticket, The ticket settled on the 14th inst., is un doubtedly one ot the best which lias ever been presented to the people of Lancaster county. We have not heard a solitary objection made to it anywhere. The candidates are all men of well known integrity, intelligence, and busi ness qualifications —hence they will command the hearty support of every reliable Democrat in the county. That they can be elected in this strong opposition county we do not pre tend to say, but that they deserve to be is un questionable, and if the poople understood thoroughly what was best for their own inter ests they would elect the Democratic candi dates. Even the two leading organs of the Opposition here—the “ Examiner ,” and the “ Union, ” —speak in the highest terms of the excellence of our candidates, and appear to regret that they do not belong to their hybrid party, thus virtually admitting their superior claims to public favor over the candidates nominated by the “ People’s Party.” Seeing, then, that we have a ticket compo sed of such excellent materials that even our political opponents are constrained to endorse the unexceptionable character of the candi dates upon it, i 9 it not incumbent on our Demo cratic friends throughout the county to do every thing in their power, in fairness and honesty, to give it a strong and enthusiastic support? We are sure the response will be in the affirmative. We feel certain that every Democrat will say amen to the proposition.— It is due to the candidates themselves—it is due to the furtherance of the great principles of our party —that the full vote uf the county should be given to the ticket. Recollect, also, that the vote for our excellent State ticket will be influenced, more or less, by the strength of the County ticket. If the latter makes a good run in the county, so will the former—and, vice versa. Will our Democratic friends think of this, and act accordingly. READ, AND THEN «JDGE, On our first page will be found, in extenso, the “Observations on Senator Douglas' views of Popular Sovereignty, as expressed in Har per's Magazine for September, 1859.” This, we think, is one of the ablest and most con vincing arguments on the subject we have ever read, and we incline to the belief that our readers will be of the same opinion after they have given it a careful perusal. We also give, in another column, a con- j densed summary of the elaborate article of Senator Douglas above referred to. The whole article, occupying as it does nineteen pages of Harper's Monthly, is entirely too lengthy for publication in an ordinary sized newspaper; but we give, in this synopsis, all the leading points of his argument —besides, they are fairly stated in the “ Observations,” and therefore, the entire argument, on both sides, is now spread before the readers ot the Intelligencer, and, consequently, they will be able to decide for themselves as to which of the two writers (Senator Douglas or Judge Black) has the advantage in the controversy. Let the “ Observations ” be read last, in order to a proper understanding of the whole sub ject. Notwithstanding the publication of these productions excludes, to some extent, our usual variety of.-reading matter, we are sure that we could insert nothing in the columns of the Intelligencer, at the present time, more generally acceptable to a large majority of our readers. BE ASSESSED, It is important that our Democratic friends should attend to the assessments in time.— The law requires assessments to be made at least ten days before the election —hence the necessity of attending to it without delay.— The township and ward committees should examine the assessor’s lists, and see to it that the name of every voter is upon them, at farthest by Friday evening of this week. THE SAN JUAN DIFFICULTY Lieutenant General Scott sailed from New York on Tuesday last, for the Pacific, by order of the President, in order to arrange the diffi culties growing out of the armed occupation of the San Juan Island, by Gen. Harney. We hope he will be successful in his mission. NEW YORK POLITICS. Both wings of the Democracy of New York have agreed on the same State ticket, and pass ed resolutions endorsing the National Admin istration. The one faction appointed dele gates to the Charleston Convention ; but the other intend to Bend a counter sett, elected by districts, to contest their seats. |@*The York County Agricultural Fair, will be held at York, on the 4th, sth, 6th and 7th of October. We are indebted to Dr. Wm. S. Boland, for complimentary tickets to the ex hibition. State Fair —Our thanks are due to David Taggart, Esq, President of the State Agricul tural Society, for a complimentary ticket of admission to the State Fair. foe General Election will take place on. Tuesday the 11th of October—two weeks from to-day. SUPPORT THE STATE TICKET, The Pittsburg Post, a paper that supports Senator Douglas for the Presidency, thus urges the Democracy to support with might and main the Democratic State ticket. If the professed friends of Mr. Douglas in Lancaster county and elsewhere were to act as the Post indicates, it would be more in accordance with Democratic usage and better, in the long run, for themselves and their favorite candidate. The Post says: The great strength of the Democracy has always resulted from a determination to sup port the regular nominees of the party, when fairly and properly placed before them for their suffrages, and no one, however biased, can deny that Richardson L. Wright and John Rowe, the candidates whose names are at the head of our columns, are so before the people. The delegates to the Convention at Harrisburg in March last, by which they were placed in nomination, were fairly and regularly elected by the respective County Conventions: that Convention was regularly organized and generally acknowledged as the chief organization of the Democracy of Penn sylvania; and these gentlemen, having been openly aDd fairly chosen by that body, aB the standard bearers of the party, are not only entitled to the consideration of every voter who has the good of the great Democratic party at heart, but to his undivided support, and all the influence he can wield in their behalf. And it is not only in this view that all who profess to be Democrats should adhere to the usages of the party, but that the prestige of that party should be maintained, so that we may be enabled to preserve the proud position in which our State has always stood—that of the Keystone of this great confederacy of States. We are on the eve of the commence ment of a national political contest, which promises to be more exciting than any within the memory of man—and in order to preserve the integrity of our party, —and that we may continue, as heretofore, to hold the balance of power in the important struggle of 1860, when a chief magistrate of the nation is to be chosen, we must unite our forces and bring them into the ranks in such numbers as will overwhelm our opponents in the present campaign, and form such a combination as will bo irresistible in the great Presidential campaign next year. We have been told that there is an irrepar able breach in the ranks of the Democracy of this State, and our political opponents have seized upon every pretext to strengthen the supposition and convince the honest adherents to tho old party lines that confusion reigns, and that a reunion is impossible. But all this is idle. There is and can be no division j in the interests or views of the Democracy of j the State. There may have been -trifling : disagreements on matters of policy, but they have all vanished, and we believe there is not a Democrat in the State, who can, unless affected towards the opposition, refuse to vote for the candidates on the State ticket. VICE PRESIDENT BRECKINRIDGE The Lexington Statesman, in an article on the results of the Kentucky election, thus closes a brief review of the public services of the Vice President: “ Major Breckinridge has, in his brilliant career, shown less desire for self promotion, and more devotiomand zeal in behalf of the success of Democracy, than any man we know of. “ Ilis gallantry has only been equalled by his modesty, and his brilliancy and ability by his discretion and his devotion to principle.— With Powell and Breckinridge in the Senate, Kentucky will stand in the Union where she stood when she was represented by Clay, liowan, Bibb, Talbot, and a host of other worthies, now no more. “ They will be fit associates, and will work well with our talented representatives, Bur nett, Peyton, Brown, Stevenson, &c., &c. ; and we hope the Democracy of the State will next winter agree with us in saying that Kentucky needs, and will demand, the services of John C- Breckinridge in the Senate chamber of the United States.” We have no doubt that Kentucky would feel highly honored with so gifted and eloquent a statesman as Major Breckinridge to; represent her in the United States Senate ; but we incline very strongly to the opinion that the people of the whole Union will require his services in a yet higher sphere of usefulness, and we are very sure that he is too good a Democrat to refuse at any time to respond to the call of his country. National Agricultural Fair, at Chicago, w'eek before last, was attended by an immense number of persons, according to the accounts received. Upwards of three thousand entries were made, including nearly fifteen hundred mechanical and agricultural implements. TheTeceipts for admission are said to have reached about $40,000. Mr. Fawkes, of this county, received a premium of $3,000 for his steam plough. REDUCTION OF THE STATE DEBT. Governor Packer has issued his proclama tion, that the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund have reported to him that they have, from Nov. 30th, 1857, to Sept. sth, 1859, redeemed the debt of the Commonwealth to the amount of $1,137,155 36, made up as follows: Certificates of Stock Loan of April 11th, 184 S, 6 per cent Certificates of Stock Loans of various dates, 5 per cent Relief issues cancelled Interest certificates, of various dates. The Equinoctial commenced again on Tuesday morning last, and lasted till Thurs day night. The quantity of rain which fell was enormous —something less than afoot! how much less we cannot say, as we had no gauge to measure it. Gubernatorial. —A correspondent of the Pittsburg Post recommends Judge Nill, of Chambersburg, for Governor. Hon. R. P. Flennikin, of Pittsburg, is also named for the Bame office. & A Swindler Sentenced. —Hiram P. Leslie, the fellow who swindled the young ladies oi Philadelphia, a few weeks ago, has been con victed and sentenced to three years' imprison ment in the Eastern Penitentiary. A Noted Horse-Thief Dead. —The notori ous horse-thief, Elijah Bowen, died in the jail at Frederick, Md., on Sunday week. He was about 70 years of age, and had been several timeß convicted of horse stealing—once in this county. The State Fair commences at Phiia delphia to-day, and will continue all week. FROM EUROPE. Sackville, N. 8., Sept. 21. The Royal Mail Steamship Arabia which left Liverpool at 9 A M. 10th inst., arrived at Halifax about six P. M. of the 20th. The steamer Balbec left Liverpool aboat the same time, also for Halifax. ZURICH CONFERENCE. The Paris correspondent of the London Times says the Zurich Conferences are sus pended de facto for the present. The Independence Beige says that Eogland has proposed to France and Austria an Eu ropean Congress ou Italian Affairs on the preliminary basis of non intervention by force of arms. A Paris telegram of the 9th says this statement is not correct. GREAT BRITAIN. The great event of the week had been the departure of the Great Eastern for sea. The vessel proceeded down the Thames as far as Purfieet on the 7th, and anchored there for the tide of the following morning. Her de parture from her moorings, accompanied by four powerful tugs, two at her bows and two at her stern, gave rise to a scene of the great est enthusiasm on the Thames, which was con tinued at all prominent points. Capt. Har rison and a most experienced Thames pilot directed the ship’s motion. Mr. Scott Russell was on the bridge directing the action of the engines, both of which, screw and paddles, were under steam. Capt. Comstock, late of the Collins steamer Baltic, Btood aft to trans mit directions to the men at the wheel, the new steering apparatus not being completely fitted. The first turn in the river demonstrated that the ship was as completely under com mand as a river steamer, and that the only difficulties to overcome were sharp curves in the stream. She steered as easily as a wager boat, and the engines were found capable of starting her or arresting her motion, literally, almost by a single motion of the hand. The onlv difficulty experienced was at Blackwall Point, where the river forms an acute angle, and in the centre of the channel at this point a bark and a Bchooner bad unfortunately anchored. There was an anxious and perilous delay of fifteen minutes, but the danger was passed and there was no other serious cause for uneasiness. There was not a single regu lar seaman on board during the river trip, the crew not having joined her. There were per feet ovations at Greenwich, Blackwall, Wool wich and other points, where immense crowds had assembled. At Purfieet the ship swung round to her single anchor in beautiful style, and the anchor, Totman’s patent, never yield ed an inch from the spot where it dropped. On the Bth the Great Eastern got up steam and weighed anchor at 8.40 A. M., when she started from Belfast for the Nore. As on the preceding day, she was accompanied by tugs; and the enthusiasm along the river, particu larly at Gravesend, was very great. On ar riving at Champan’s Head, at the top of sea reach, the tugs cast off and the great vessel left to herself; increased speed was then got on her simply to give her good steerage way and move her engines readily, but with no view to attest her power. In ten minutes, however, says the correspondent of the Times, she set at rest forever all doubts as to her being the fastest vessel beyond comparison in the world. Employing less than two-thirds of her power—in the worst trim—being six inches down by the head, and too high out of water to permit her paddles or screw blades to work properly, and with a strong tide against her. she ran a distance of fifteen stat ute miles two minutes under an hour. The engines worked with astonishing ease, and there was scarcely any vibration perceptible. Before anchoring the vessel was put about, and went completely round in less than three quarters of a mile. At 12.30 the vessel an chored at the Nore. She was to leave the Nore at 7 o’clock on the morning of the 9th, and steam away easily for Portland, Dorset shire, which harbor she was expected to reach early on the morning of the 10th. Much regret was felt that serious illness prevented Mr. Brunei from being on board to share in the triumph. The Grea-fc£astern left the Norc at fifteen minutes past nine.o’clock morning of Friday, and was off Doveiv at 3 P. M. with stormy westerly winds and thick rain. The London Morning Post has an editorial on the report that Gen. Ilarney had taken possession of the Island of San Juan, or Bel levue, in Puget's Sound. It considers it possible that another boundary dispute may arise, and says that the'occupation of an Island which is still subjudicc is an exercise of power to which the British Government cannot tamely submit,'wnd hopes that no con cessions will be made which are inconsistent with the dignity of the country or security of the gold regions. LATEST PROM EUROPE, We have important news from Europe by the steamer North American, boarded off Farther Point on Sunday, with European dateß to the 14th. The war between the English and French on one side, and the Chinese on the other,has been renewed. Nearly five hundred British troops are reported to have been killed and wounded. A dreadful accident occurred on board the Great Eastern on her trial trip, which will prevent her sailing at the time intended. The feed-pipe casing in one of her funnels exploded and killed five men. The Liverpool breadstuff markets indicate an improvement in prices. Significant Omission. —The Providence Journal, an “ opposition ” paper, says : It is remarked that the republican conven tions have, in several instances, latterly, omit ted all reference to the doctrine which they formerly enforced with so great positiveness, the duty of Congress to prohibit slavery in the Territories. Upon this the New Haven Register very truly remarks, that this is not the only thing that has been remarked about that versatile political sect. It can beat Nixon's Acrobats in ground and lofty tumbling, any day in the year; but if anybody supposes that its silence in reference to “ the duty of Congress to pro hibit slavery in the Territories,” is indicative of any conversion to popular sovereignty, it is a great misiake. They are just now looking about for an “available candidate” for President —with a squint toward the South —and therefore it would hardly do to indulge in its old talk, so long as the candidate is not selected. In the event of taking a slavehold ing candidate, we shall hear nothing more, at present, on the subject of slavery. If it is Mr. Seward, we shall hear nothing else in the coming campaign. As it was in the Mexican war, they began by declaring it “an unholy and a thieving war,” and ended in nominating its hero for President! A similar operation may be looked for, if, as the Yankee peddler said, “ there’s anything to be made out of the operation.” FIFTEEN SHIPS TO THE MILE. The London Times, in noticing the comple tion of the new steam frigate Orlando for the Royal Navy, compares her size and dimensions with those of other large craft. We have im proved on The Thunderer's table, and here with present a correct estimate of the princi pal proportions of fifteen the largest vessels afloat: $ 44,650 00 1,047,238 20 YEBSEL.

GODEY’S LADY'S BOOK, for October, is already out, and a capital number it is—richly embellished, and admi rable in its literary features. This magazine outstrips every thing else in the same line. It contains more read ing, a greater number of fashion-plates, more music and patterns by one-third, while the cost per single copy is but little more than the club-price of any other periodical of the Rink now published. CITY AND COUNTY AFFAIRS* Reception of the Hope Steam Engine of Philadelphia.—The “Hope Hose and Steam Fire Engine Company, No. 2, of Philadelphia,” on their return from Chicago and Pittsburg, arrived here ia the 7.21 Through Express Train on Friday morning, and were immediately escorted by the Committee of Reception, appointed by the Fire Department of this city, to Reese’s Cify Hotel, North Qneen street, where they partook of a good and substantial breakfast. After breakfast they were taken in charge by a delegation from the various fire companies, and escorted to the different engine and hose houses in the city, with the order and arrangement of which they expressed them selves highly pleased. In the afternoon they were “omnl bused” to many points of interest in and around town, thus “putting in the day” most agreeably to all concerned* In the evening a complimentary supper was given the membera 6T the Hope at Cooper’s Hotel, West Kiog street, under the direction of the Committee of Entertainment— Gen. Sbaeffer of the Hnmane, Maj. Dickey of the Shiffier, Maj. Howell of the Empire, and S. H. Reynolds, Esq., of the Washington. The sapper was gotten up in Cooper’s best style, which is sufficient for our readers to know that it was a splendid affair. Hope were escorted from their quarters at Reese’s, at 9 o’clock, by a large delegation of firemen and citizens, headed by the Fencibles* Band, who discoursed their choicest music during the progress of the entertainment. The banquet was presided over by Mayor Sanderson. at the right of whom sat Marshal McCllly of the Hope, and at the left J. M. Willis Geist, Esq., of The Express. After the good things of the tab'e had been thoronghly discussed, the Mayor arose and in a few neat and appropriate remarks Welcomed the members of the Hope to the hospitality of the firemen and citizens of Lancaster. At the conclusion of his remarks, Gen. Shaeffeb proposed three cheers for the Hope which were given most enthusiastically. Henbt V. McCully, Marshal of the Hope, responded in behalf of the company, in one of the neatest impromptu speeches we hare ever listened to on any similar occasion. He said that he but expressed the sentiment of his fellow members of the Hope, when bo assured those present that in no place had they received a more cordial reception, and been shown more attentions than among the citizens of Lancaster. He concluded by proposing “the Citizens and Fire Department of the City of Lancaster,” for which he called for three cheers from the Hope, which were given with a hearty good will. The different fire companies of the city wore then toasted, and speeches made by Messrs. Dickey, Shaeffeb, Stbinman, Franklin of the Hope, Franklin of the Empire, S. H. Rey nolds, Price, Alexander, Hiestand, McGovern, Atlee, Cadwell, Howell, (who told a capital Irish story,) Suenk of theShiffler, and Prto of the Hope. The speeches were all good, short and to the point, and the best of feeling prevailed throughout. The party ad- journed about o’clock, when the guests were escorted to their quarters at Reese’s, and from thence to the Freight Depot of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, by a delega tion from the Washington, appointed to assist in unload- ing the Engine. The Through Express Freight which had the Engine on board was delayed on the road and did not arrive until Saturday morning at 6 o’clock, but a large number of the gallant members of the Washington remained up Dearly the whole night awaiting its arrival. They, as in fact all the other companies, seemed as if they Id not do too much for their Philadelphia brethren. The engine was unloaded at 7 o’clock on Saturday mor ning, amid the cheers of a large crowd of firemen and citi zens, and taken to the Washington Engine House in North Queen st., where it was housed. The following description of the Hope we clip from The Express: In general appearance the “ Hope” is much the neatest fire engine wo have ever seen, and all the details of the machinery gives evidence of superior workmanship. The machine is nine feet long and nine feet high, the boiler and eDgine being carried by a handsome omnibus running gear. The boiler is vertical and contains 122 inch and a quarter flues, which gives the power of generating Bteam very rapidly—the engine having been started in seven minutes from the time of applyiog the match. Five pounds of steam is raised in five minutes. The steam cylinder is eight inches in diameter; stroke of piston twelve inches. The bore of the pump is 4% inches, with four receiving and four discharging valves. The most prominent objects which catch the eye as the engine pas-' ses along is the smoke stack and the beautifully polished brass air chamber, which stands up prominently above the other machinery. The smoke stack is jointed and can bo lowered to pass under any obstruction. When in service, the ‘‘Hope” carries from 58 to 62 tt>3. of steam. She can throw a single stream, horizontally, a distance of 215 feet, or two streams 116; through 800 feet of hose, 160 feet; or a vertical stream, through 200 feet ot hose, 176 feet, or two streams 140 feet. The Procession on Saturday morning, for the escort of the Hope, formed on South Queen street, at 9 o'clock, the right restingon Centre Square. Mayor Sanderson acted as Chief Marshal, and was assisted by the following gentlemen as Aids: Gen. B. A. Sqaefper, Maj. O. J. Dickey, Maj. C* M. Howell, Charles A. Heinitsh, Esq., S. H.. Reynolds, Esq., George W. Brown, Esq., Col. Samuel H. Price and William A. Atlee, Esq. All the Fire Companies in the city were represented in the parade, some of whom turned out in strong numbers. The whole body were in citizens’ dress. The Procession moved up North Queeu street to the Washington Engine House, where the Hope members were received and escorted into line. Their engfne was drawn by four beautiful and spirited grey horses, driven in excellent style by Mr. Luke Meekins. Tbe horses were furnished through the kindness of two of our most worthy and public-spirited citizens— ex-Mayor Kiepper and Mr. Henry Franke, the celebrated Brewer. After proceeding over a route some four or five miles in extent, the procession at length halted in Centre Square where the powers of the Engine were tested. On the route the Hope received the greatest attention from all, and tbe fair sex showered Flora’s offerings on the members in the greatest profusion. The Washington’s large llag was dis played across the street, and at the bottom in large letters were the words, ‘‘Welcome Hope !” The exhibition of the Engine’s powers in the Square drew together an immense concourse of people, who mani fested their feelings of delight in enthusiastic cheers. The power of the machine was so great that several sections of hose were bursted. The trial lasted for about an'hour, and proved to the satisfaction of every one the great su periority of the “steam squirt” over the engine worked by man power. After this exhibition, the Hope were escorted to the Freight Depot, where the engine was again loaded, and the members returned to Reese’s, and fully discussed the merits of a choice dinner. They left in the 5.4 S Train for home with hearts full of gratitude at their reception hero. They created, by their manly bearing and gentlemanly deportment, a most favorable impression on the minds of our citizens, many of whom are loud in their praises of these noble representatives of the Philadelphia Firemen. The Approaching County Fair.— We are pleased to learn that the arrangements for the Third Annual Exhibition of tho Lancaster County Agricultural and Mechanical Society, which commences on Tuesday next, have been fully completed. All the necessary repairs to the buildings have been made, and the grounds groatly improved. Should the weather prove favorable there is lot & doubt but that this will be the most successful FaiJ in many respects which the Society has yet hold. The display of different articles will be larger and much finer than at either of the preceding exhibitions. It gives us much pleasure to note the interest which the Ladies are taking in the success of When any organization has the approval and smiles of tho Fair Sex it is suro to "’Excursion Tickets. —Excursion Tickets will be issued on the Pennsylvania Railroad for the Lan caster County Agricultural and Mechanical Society’s Fair, between Philadelphia and Harrisburg, from the 3rd to the 7th, and good for return trip until the 9th of October. Isablla Grapes. —We accepted a kind invitation from our excellent friend and fellow-citizen, Mr. Godfbied Zaira, of N. Prince streot, to visit his residence and taste some of his grapes, Ac.—which we did, In 'com pany with Alderman S. G. Musser, on Satarday evening. To say that his grapes are very fine is hardly praise enough; they were the sweotest and- most delicious fruit of the kind we ever tasted, and we did fnll justice to the admirable treat. Mr. Zahm also gave us a taste of his wines (grape and currant) of his own manufacture, being tho pure juice and no admixtures, and we can only add that we have never tasted anything more pleasant. Mr. Z not only raises the best grapes in the city, but manufac tures the best wine to boot. At his request we carried a few bunches of the grapes home with us, after spending an hour very agreeably with the old gentleman in his hospitable dwelling, and our “better half” agreed with us fully in pronouncing them the best she had ever tasted- C. Kieffer's Calorific Boiler. —C. Kieffer Esq., of this city, received on Wednesday last, Letters Patent for this valuablo invention through the Pennsyl vania Agency Office of Col. J. F. Reigart. It is one of the most useful, complete and economical inventions for house hold purposes, we have ever seen. .The Boilers are manu factured by Mr. Kieffer of various sizes lor small families and Hotels, and nothing has ever been patented to excel them for cooking, washing and bathing purposes. The water is heated by a small farnace containing a handful of charcoal, and their numerous adyantagos make them the cheapest and most convenient articles for boiling water for general use for every family. Tho Boilers cab. be had at Deaxeb A Schacm’s Establishment, No. 7 East King street.

SENATOR DOUGLAS ON POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY IN THE TERRI- TORIES. Hurperis Monthly September contains an article of nineteen pages entitled “The Dividing Line between Federal and Loca] Authority. Popular Sovereignty in the Terri tories. By Stephen A Douglas.” This is the exposition which has been from time to time announced from Washington as in course of preparation by Judge Douglas on the question which now attracts such a general attention, and which is supposed to have an important bearing upon the next Presidential campaign. The position of Mr. Douglas as a candidate for the Pre-idential nomina ion, as well as the distinguished part which he has taken in the discussions on the subject of the present arti cle, gives unusual significance to his opinions at this time, and will lead to a careful scrutiny in all quarters. The article before us is ably written, and presents a concise, logical, and connected view of the subject upon which it treats from the earliest period in our colonial history down to the present time. Mr. Douglas states the position of the two great political parties in this country as fol The Republican party (he assumes) hold to the complete power over the question of sla very in the Territories, in accordance with the resolution adopted by that party in 1856, as a part of the Philadelphia platform, which de- clared— “ That the Constitution confers upon Con greßS sovereign power over the Territories of the United States, for their government, and that in the exercise of this power it is both the right and the duty of Congress to prohibit in the Territories those twin relics of barbarism, polygamy and slavery.” The Democratic party, Mr. Douglas says i 6 would be uncandid to deny, is not fully agreed upon the relative powers of Federal and Ter ritorial authority over the question of slavery, and he classes these differences under three heads: “ Ist, Those who believe that the Constitu tion of the United States neither establishes nor prohibits slavery in the States or Territo ries, beyond the power of the people legally to control it, but ‘leaves the people thereof per fectly free to form and regulate their domestic institutions in their own way, subject only to the Constitution of the United States. “2d, Those who believe that the Constitu tion establishes slavery in the Territories and withholds from Congress and the Territorial Legislature the power to control it, and who insist that, in the event the Territorial Legis lature fails to enact the requisite laws for its protection, it becomes the imperative duty of Congress to interpose its authority and afford such protection.” “ 3d, Those who, while professing to believe that the Constitution establishes slavery in the Territories beyond the power of Congress or the Territorial Legislature to control it, at the same time protest against Congress to in terfere for its protection, but insist that it is the duty of the Judiciary to protect and main tain slavery in the Territories without any law upon the subject.” Mr. Douglas, of course, adopts the first of the above propositions ; and he remarks, after presenting the various aspects of the question, that— “ It is difficult to conceive how any persoD who believes that the Constitution confers the right of protection in the enjoyment of slave property in the regardless of the wishes of the people and of the action ot the Territorial Legislature, can satisfy his con science and his oath of fidelity to the Constitu tion in withholding such Congressional legis lation as may be essential to the enjoyment of such right under the Constitution. Under this view of the subject, it is imposible to re sist the conclusion that, if the Constitution ' does establish slavery in the Territories be- ! yond the power of the people to control it by law, it is the imperative duty of congress to supply all the legislation necessary to its pro tection ; and, if this proposition is not true, it necessarily results that the Constitution neither establishes nor prohibits slavery any where, but leaves the people of each State and Territory entirely free to form and regulate their domestic affairs to suit themselves, with out the intervention of Congress or any other power whatsoever.” Mr. Douglas disposes of the argument that Congress may conier upon a Territorial Leg islature all the powers which itself possesses by declaring the reverse to be generally true; that in fact, any subject upon which Congress may rightly legislate cannot be delegated, but that it may provide for a Territorial Govern ment, for a people with whose local and domes tic affairs it has no power to interfere, while it may create a Territorial Legislature, which has full control over alb questions of a local natnre, slavery included. In pointing out and tracing the dividing i line between Federal and local authority, Mr. Douglas goesbacktoour Colonial days, showing ‘ that the complaints of the Colonies were never j directed against the exercise by the Imperial; Government of powers which were Imperial ! and not Colonial, but arose from the fact that: their local and domestic rights were invaded; that among other wroDgs inflicted upon the ; Colonies was the authority given to introduce 1 slaves against their consent, against which Virginia and other Colonies remonstrated, and | passed laws taxing slaves thus introduced, i which laws were rendered inoperative by the order from the Imperial Government to the Colonial Governors not to give their assent to such laws; that the right to resist such “ un friendly legislation ” was insisted upon by Virginia and other Colonies, and that to this day the Constitution of Virginia contains a clause, continued from its original Bill of Rights, declaring that one of the reasons for separating from Great Britian was “ the in human use of the royal negative in refusing us [the Colony of Virginia] permission to exclude slavery from us by law. ” ✓ We have not space to/follow the argument, which is designed throughout to prove that all legislation upon local and domestic questions belongs not to Congress, but to the Territorial Legislatures ; that such was the uniform un derstanding in the early period of our history; that the “ new States,” as they were then called, instead of Territories, possessed the same control of their domestic affairs as the old, and that at no time has that right been parted with or alienated to the Federal Gov ernment. Passing to a review of the opinion of the Supreme Court in the Dred Scott case, he de nies that there is anything in that opin ion to justify the declaration that the Consti tution carries slavery into all the Territories, but he says: “If the proposition be true that the Constitution establishes slavery in the Terri tories beyond the power of the people legally to control it, another result, not less startling, and from which there is no escape, must inevitably follow. The Constitution is uniform ‘ every where within the dominions of the United States ’ —is the same in Pennsylvania as in Kansas—and if it be true, as stated by the President in his special message to Congress, ‘ that slavery exists in Kansas by virtue' of the Constitution of the United States/ and that ‘Kansas is therefore at this moment as much a slave State as Georgia or South Carolina/ why does it not exist in Pennsylvania by virtue of the same Constitution £” We do not deem it necessary to go more at length into-a statement of the positions main tained by Mr. Douglas, and with much force and ability. The whole matter is summed up at the close in the following language: “ This exposition of the history of these measures shows conclusively that the authors of the Compromise Measures of 1850, and of the Kaoeas-Nebraska Act of 1854, as well as the members of the Continental Congress in 1774, and the founders of our system of government subsequent to the Revolution, regarded the people of the Territories and Colonies as political communities which were entitled to a free and exclusive power of legislation in their Provincial Legislatures, where their representation could alone be preserved, in all cases of taxation and internal policy. This right pertains to the people col lectively as a law-abiding and peaceful community, and not to the isolated individuals who may wander upon' the public domain in violation of law. “ It can only be exercised where there are inhabitants sufficient to constitute a govern ment, and capable*bf performing its various functions and duties—a fact to be ascertained and determined by Congress. Whether the number shall be fixed at ten, fifteen, or twenty thousand inhabitants does not affect the principle. The principle under our.political system is, that every distinct political com munity, loyal to the Constitution and the Union, is entitled to all the rights, privileges, and immunities of self-government in respect to their local concerns and internal polity, ; subject only to the Constitution of the United States." ST. LOUIS CORRESPONDENCE. The Weather, Rivers and Health of the City-Trial and Conviction of Geo. 0. Atherton—Fitality among Children —Street Railroads—lmprisonment of a Deputy Jailor— Philadelphia Firemen in our City—Xinth Ward Property —Growth of Texas—Political — Miscellaneous, i fc., cfc. Bt. Louis, Sept. 19, 1859. The weather has been remarkably pleasant throughout the week. On Saturday we were visited with a fine refresh ing shower. The rivers continue very low, and the large boats have laid up. Receipts of produce were very light in the past week, and no material change is observable in prices of prodace, we therefore omit our regular market review. The health of onr city is most excellent, there being but 133 interments from all diseases, accidents and casualties, and of the above number, S 3 were children of five years and under. Geo. 0. Atherton, whom your readers will recollect was arrested some months since, whilst Teller of the Southern Bank of this city, for embezzlement of $53,000 from the Bank, has been on trial for several days past, and on Saturday the case was concluded, and the jury returned a verdict of “ guilty” and assessed his punishment years inUie Slate Penitentiary. The defendant, who, since his arrest was out on bail, was again taken into custody. A motion fora new trial will be filed to-day. Sloce the date of our last, quite a fatality has occurred among children In thi3 city; no less than four wdVo killed accidently, and two died suddenly of disease. A little boy eight years old fell under one of the street rail cars, and had his arm seriously fractured. The success of our street railroads is now a fixed fact. Every car on every road is crowded to excess. The cars for the Fourth street road, in which Mr Albert W.Markley Is deeply interested, have arrived, and will be put upon the rail in a few days. The road to the Fair Ground will be completed during the present week, whilst the other roads throughout the city are being pushed ahead as rapidly as possible. We will soon be able to travel all over St. Louis by rail. Deputy Jailor Musick, was fined $25 and assessed a punishmeut of five days confinement in the county jail, for refusing to answer certain questions propounded by the Grand Jury now in session. lie was afterwards taken before Judge Breckinridge on a writ of habeas corpus to investigate the legality of the punishment inflicted. The case occupied a long time, and was concluded by sustain ing the judgement. So Mr. Musick had to occupy a close room in his own hold! During the past week some four or five of the members of the Hope Hose Company, of Philadelphia, (which com pany had been on a visit to Chicago,) gave our city a friendly call. They were hospitably entertained by the Central Fire Company, of this city. They were taken through the Fair Grounds, and expressed themselves well pleased with the manner in which the Western people get up things. A splendid dinner was given them. They put up at the Planters’ House, and were recoived with all due honors by the Central Fire Company of St. Louis, of which Mr. A. C. Hull is Captain. The names of the Philadel phians are: Mr. J. R. Snyder, Mr. Wm. Adam, and Messrs. Wm. J. and Henry S. (Jtlbert. The total valuation of the land in the Ninth Ward of this city, exclusive of the improvements , Is shown by the Assessor’s books to be $4,029,532. The State Fair at Freeport, 111., which has just closed, gave great satisfaction to all concerned, and the receipts exceeded $lO,OOO. The scarlet fever has been prevailing to a fearful extent in De Kalb county, Ills. It has proved fatal to quite a number of children. Our latist advices from New Orleans inform us that no yellow fever has yet mnde its appearance in that city, and the Sextons’ returns showed the mortality of last week to have reached (considering the advanced season! the unprecedentedly small total of 115. The people of New Orleans call 1859 the jewel year, and the great mass of the population, which generally desert that place in the Summer season, have continued at their business posts “Yellow Jack” has confined himself to more southern latitudes, during the past Summer, to the great joy of the denizens of the Crescent City. There was a whole family dangerously poisoned recently near Ottawa, Ills., by using water from a barrel that had previously contained whisky. What proportion of strych nine could that whisky have contained ? The population of Independence, Mo., according to the recent census, is 4,059. • At the late election in Texas for Governor there wore about 63,000 votee-polled. In 1546, -when Texas came into the Union as a Stato, she only polled about 8,000 votes. This shows an astounding increase in the population of that State. The Acting Commissioner of the General Land Office has transmitted to the Governor of this State an approved list of 3,711,093 acres of swamp, and overflowed lands in the Milan (now Boooville) district of Missouri, enuring to that State under the act of September 28,1550. It is said that emigrants in great numbers are crossing the river at St. 'Joseph, destined for Nebraska and Northern Kansas. Company 11. 2nd Infantry, recently passed through St. Joseph >:n route for Fort Laramie. A new, largo and beautiful arseual building has been commenced at Fort Leavenworth. The Fort Smith (Ark.) Herald says, that to ail appear ances a silver mine that had been worked some time ago, has been discovered in Carroll county, as mining tools and the remains of an old Buffalo robe wore found within the mine. Several thousand pounds haTebeen taken out, the mine being some four to six feet thick, and it is believed to bo Bilver ore and very rich. Carroll county is known to be rich in lend and marble. £ Leavenworth city, in Kansas, would seem to present a fine opening for professional men. By a census just taken, it has been ascertained that at the present the city contains only SI lawyers, 30 doctors, 15 clergymen and '2O land agents, besides GO first class saloons. A remonstrance against the removal of Isaac Cook, Postmaster at Chicago, has been signed by over 1500 busi ness men of that city. The lion. Chas. 11. Mason, the Territorial Secretary of Washington Territory, died on the 22nd of July at Olym pia. lie was formerly of Providence, R. L, and was a son of the late Major Mason, of the U. S. Army. The President has accepted the resignation of the Hon. Thos. A. Hendricks, Commissioner of the Genera! Land Office, who is now a candidate for the Gubernatorial nomination of the Democratic party in Indiana. Should Mr. U. receive the nomination of his party in that State, he will bear the flag with honor and to victory, j The Fayette (Ala.) Banned hoists the names of Daniel I S. Dickinson, of New York, for the Presidency, and C. C. Clay, jr., of Alabama, for the Vice Presidency. The Memphis (Tenn.) Avalanche has declared iu favor of Gen. Jo. Lane, of Oregon, for the Presidency in ISGO. For the first time in forty years have the Democrats of Bourbon county, Ky., elected a State Sonator in that county. Neither branch of the Legislature has ever been represented by a Democrat, until the recent election. The Hon. John S. Phelps, member of Congress from the Springfield district in this State, has returned to his home from Santa Fe, in excellent health and spirits. According to the tax books of Lafayette county, for the year 1859, the value of the real property in the county is $4,397,219. The number of slaves is 5,737, valued at $2,191,451. Slaves have decreased 171 since the last assessment, at which time 5,996 were reported, valued at $2,433,015. The high prices now offered and paid by the extreme Southern planters, will draw largely upon Missouri, Ken tucky and Virginia. Laboring hands are in great demand in the Southern States. The valuation of the taxable property in Charitan county, in this State, for the year 1859, is $4,369,485. The increase in value in the last year was $207,155. The unpaid wages due the employees of the Michigan Southern Railroad, for which a strike was recontly had, is said to amount to $150,000. A negro, a resident of Westport, Ky., died at that place, at the advanced age of 106 yea re. Our advices from California, state that Horace Greely would leave by the Overland Mail for this city, on the 26th of August. This would render his arrival due, but he has no doubt laid over on the route at some of the stopping places. / The intelligence from the gold diggings still continue of the most glowing kind. The last arrival brings us the result of the election held in Kansas, on the sth inst., on the adoption or rejection of the constitution framed by the late convention, resulting as follows, In the towns of Denver and Auraria: Denver for the constitution, that is, a State government, 70; against the constitution and for a Territorial organization, 560 ; aggregate number of votes cast in Denver, 630. Auraria for the constitution, 114; against the constitution, 873; aggregate number of votes in Auraria, 487; majority for petitioning Congress for a Territorial organization, 749. The result of the elec tion in the mountain districts has not yot transpired. A large number of miners were leaving the mountains for the valley, in consequence of the prevalence of rain and snow storms. The new Constitution is to be voted upon on the first Monday in October. Prices of provisions in Auraria and Denver average— flour, $l5 per hundred lbs ; Mexican do, $lO to $l4; meal, $22; bacon, $3O; sugar, $25, coffee, $25; beans, $25; onions, $25 ; batter, $7O ; beef. $lO ; venison, $1 per quar ter; molasses $3 per gall; whisky, do. The population ol Milwaukle, by a recent census, is 54,499. The Hon. Jesse D. Bright Is lying dangerously ill, in Madison, Ind., of inflammatory rhumatlsm. The Texas fever is raging in some parts of our State, and killing off the cattle by scores. It wonld seem that,lllinois is fast taking the lead of all the other States in agriculture. The index of this fact is not alone the grain crops, but the number of agricultural societies. There are eighty-eight agricultural associations in that State, or twenty more than any other State in tho Union. Instructions have of late been issued to many Surveyors General throughout the country, by the General Land Office desiring them to make considerable retrenchments in tho expenses of the offices in their charge. Such instructions have recently been forwarded to the Surveyor General of Wisconsin and lowa. The Louisiana sugar crop is regarded by many to be a very short one. Experienced merchants express the belief that the crop will fall off fully fifty to seventy-five thousand hogsheads. Pennsylvania Machines Triumphant at the U. S. Fair -at Chicago.— Chicago, Sept. 16.—At the United States fair grounds to-day a trial of steam fire engines was had, which resulted in favor of the Engine of the Hope Hose Company of Philadelphia. The Hope engine threw a stream thirty feet higher than that thrown by her only competitor, the en* gine of the Atlantic company of this city.— The Atlantic uses the rotary pump, and was built at Seneca Falls, N. Y. . Fawkes' Steam Plow, of Lancaster, was awarded a gold medal by the U. S. Agricultural Society, and $3OOO premium by the Illinois Central R. R. Com* i pony and State Agricultural Society. Troubles in Utah. —Late intelligence from Utah presents a bad state of things between the Mormons and the other residents of the Territory, growing out of recent acts of vio lence and outrage on the part of the former. A correspondent of the Boston Traveller, at Camp Floyd, states that the recent assassina tion of Sergeant Pike of the 10th Infantry, in broad daylight, in one of the principal streets flf Salt Lake City, had caused great exaspera tion in the army. The sergeant was in the city awaitidg trial on the charge of having assaulted one Spencer, a Mormon, when, as he was standing in front of the Salt Lake Hotel, Spencer came up to him, and after a few words shot him with a revolver, the ball entering above the left hip and coming out at the right breast. The assassin immediately fled, and was pursued by several persons, but could not be overtaken, and it is charged against the Mormons that they aided in his escape. A mob of several thousand Mormons gather ed around the hotel, in which the officers and soldiers took shelter ; threats of violence to wards the party from the camp were thrown out, and the Gentiles prepared to defend them if attacked. Many of the Gentile merchants closed their stores, anticipating a general fight; during that night and since it has not been considered safe for a Gentile to walk tho streets alone. This took place on the 10th bf August, and the wounded man lingered until the 14th when he died.

Rouebts whose death at Parkersburg, Va., on the 7th instant, was announced last week, was a son of the late John Roberts, Esq., late of Marietta, this county, deceased. Captain Roberts began his business caroer at Wheeling, Va., in 1835, and for the last fifteen years or more he was engaged in steam boating upon the Ohio river. In 1838, he married Sarah F. Reed, a niece of tho late Judge Reed ol this State. He was nearly 46 years old and leaves a widow and six children, who with many sympathizing relatives and friends mnnru their broavement in his early and sudden call out of existence, and away from a home and social circle of which ho was the acknowledged centre and to which his enterprize and care yielded the essential stores and substantial comforts of temporal life; In tho enjoy ments of which, universal good will, charity and cheerful ness were the evidences of gratefulness. As a testimony of the general esteem in which tho doceased was held, the President of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad directed that bis remains and their attend ants should be conveyed from Parkersburg to Wheeling without charge, and every attention paid to his memory by the employees. His funeral on the 10th was attended by an unusually largo number of friends and neighbors. Tho Cincinnati Commercial of the 9th instant payß tho following tribute to the memory of the deceased: “ The melancholy dnty devolves upon ns to announco tho death of that much esteemed gentleman, Capt. James H. Roberts, whose sadden summons from a sphere in which his active and generous impulses were so wldoly j and beneficially exercised for the benefit of bis fellow [ creatures, must be deeply regretted by all who knew him. His untimely death was occasioned by an accident. While | enjoying, with his lady, a buggy drive, in the vicinity of | Parkersburg, Va., one of tho wheels broke, and the hor6CB ; becoming frightened started at full speed. His lady was i thrown out, but the Captain unfortunately holding on to I tho reins, was dragged a considerable distance along the 1 road, and it was afterwards disc'vored that his hip was | dislocated. He lingered for several days, until death ended i his agony with liia life—on Wednesday at midnight, j Captain Roberts was a native of Lancaster county, I’a., ) but for a long period ho has been a resident of the West, 1 and in Wheeling, at one time, bo held one of the first ! municipal offices of trust. He has beeu for nearly fifteen I years connected with the river interests, and is regarded I as the founder of the Parkersburg and Wheeling Packet i Lino. At the time of his death he held the command of : the Cincinnati and Wheeling packet, Courier, esteemed, ' under bis auspices, one of the most agreeable and popular boats on tho river. So much for his public life; his private and more individual existence was filled with a i comprehensive benevolence which embraced the wbolo 1 human family. To him the child of misfortune never 1 appealed in vain:—the pure spirit of philanthropy nevor ■ found a more congenial abiding place than in his manly 1 heart, and many a tear pure from- the fountain of the ! heart, will be sileutly shed by tho humble recipients of bln bounty.
