I wish you to give notice iof .this in the AotTAfOB. . The Republicans- of the Palmer district in this town recently put up a.pole with a Eipcoln flag. The Looofocos "(did hot like to see the flag of Freedom flying-so j’heav them, and) so like a lot of thieves -thoy we'nt in the night and cut it down.

' 1 Front; 1 ; * i To the Editor of the A' When it is chnsid sred that the Democratic party hash'eld the payer «f our; Government, for a ! seriesof years under far different auspi ces from that now presented; it is rio matter of surprise that tboustnds of well but ignorant Men,'leave ’beep deceived and inno cently, .Jed | to. their influence, and cast their votes ifor th,eft rtheranfee of the Democrat ic cause. Jtrjs-rath mymatter of surprise that those who entertain’clearer ideas of the politi cal’issiies-of the day and who are sMled in the political chicanery, that biis beeh;going;on for the last eight years in out- Government,—and thousands whose h asiness. interest are fhreat eijcd.wjth destruction in the whirlwjhd of fa natical revolution--should have so - , long lain' ddfmtrtit, and neglected to. avail themselves of the, mighty influence about to he cast upon our Government by the ascension to- power of: one of the advocates of Freedom- and a protective tariff,, a man who firmly believes in the ■ doc trines advocated by the Republican Party; and Who will.’if elected, discharge the duties incum bent upon that exalted position with equal and exact justice to the whole Union. The candi- date of 1 1Repul Iretin party will, if elected, cast each rd iuflufei ice: over our country as will hurl back] tbo'tide of Demagoguoism, and place honest freb labor fir in advance of chattel ser vitude. -The real tipiestions now at issue bare been kept back by ;hese Democratic Humbugs, apd but little has!,fet been done to undeceive the public, and curb the uiad career of fiery zealots,‘apd soulless demagogues who are at tempting jto involve, pur country in the worst calamities' that ca n i afflipt civilized Society, under the pretos of Popular Sovereignty and non-intervention, us assumed by Stephen A. .Doughia, the real usurper of po pillar rights, only so far as ithosu rights go fob the’ perpetua tion ami protectio i of human bondage in the Territories of the United States. The inconsis tency of his favorite doctrine has nut on!y:been dopiunstrated ' by our ablest statesman, but the -Supreme -Court of the United States under •whose decision,we all'must bow, have'decided that unless “Congcess has the right to legislate upon, the, subject (if Slavery,ip tile Territories the People have not the; rightv” Why is it then; that candid and, impartial men will still cling to tliis-delusive phantom, while'this same Stephen A. Douglas whp pretends to- he’the sole advocate of the people's rights; is promul- to the South that he believes “Slavery has a; legal existence in-ithe Territories,” and his past political conduct during the Kansas struggle verifies jthe opinion, given by him whenever cal)od dpon-by thi Southern Dough- especially at the time when he is looking to the South for their suffrages, to assist in elevating him to[_thot position which he juts anxiously watebejd for tho past four years. This groat Illinois S'atesman whenfhe'luccomp ton Conilitution was submitted to Congress for its passage by the message of the President James Buchanan, turned his back upon the Bill, .any avowed that its passage would be an usurpation of power, and that the “principle of living this Constitution on an unwilling peo ple, is diametrically at war with the fundamen tal principles of Democracy,” and further adds “That tie same Principles,also that lie at the bottom if this attempt to defraud the people of Kansas ;of their fights are dangerous if not fa tal for liberty aad property, and in their ten dencies dead stra ght' toward disorder, and des putism.” These are some of the remarks made by the tminenc, consistent and patriotic-states man, who if he had carried out this doctrine in its, full istent, wmld have bee.n the most popu lar man to-day in the United States. ' But trace a little further the career of this “nobleman” an I you see him when the people of Kansas frame J a Constitution and ratified it by their votes, aid complied to the letter, with all instructions received. It passed the House' by a small majority, and all that- is required now to admit Kansas upon an. equal footing .with the original states, is-the Senate’s’approv ; The BiH for admission goes to the Commit- 1 tee on Tervitoms. The committe consists of seven. Members, and when the vote is taken it stonds a tie—three for its admission and.three! fuFits rejections .Douglass’s vote would decide the question,,and if he had been a consistent man, Kansas would-have been admitted and recognized as a Free State-in this glorious Ret pt blic, But, he refuses to cast his, vote, when by so doing all ;his controversy- now existing; would be at an snd, and his Popular Sovereign ty doctrine, aftt r Kansas,had been admitted as a free State, would have been the ruling-power forever more: jßut he,, shows in this as in all his political career, that he is not actqated by any higher motives than mere party and per sonal plica.
