The evil demands a remedy.—Gazette. The evil certainly demands a remedy, but the remedy cannot applied to long as the Lake Shore road is in hands froeLile to the New York and Erie; hence there is no one connected with the mail service in Dunkirk, that `should be blamed. If the trains do not connect, the local Agent, whose duty it is to see that the mails are promptly and properly transferred, ,cannot send them; and very often they do not connect simply because the managers of the Lake Shore road do not desire it, knowing full well that all delays of that kind will be laid to Erie.

Our - argument to sustain this position may be, as our free-toil cotemporary declares, "deceptive—s piece of specious sopheatry," or it may not be; of that, we are content to let 'our readers be the judges. We may be obtuse, also, or it may be that we are not competent . to decide 'upon the correctness of modern higher-law argu ments, but we really cannot understand what our ootemporsu means when he asserts that the "bill to establish a government over" new Territories "contradicts" the principle that the people aught to rule, and shall rule in such new Territories. Government upon the republican basis, we have been . taught, is established in.order that the peo ple way rule—not the government; therefore, when Congress establishes a territorial government in Nebraska, it is done that the people shall rule themselves.

We hold that the Territories of liebnaka and Kansas are public property, the jdint heritage of all the State; not only of those north of Macron and Dixon's but of those south of that line as well; hence, wheti any of this public domain--this joint her itage of the Statee—shall have territorial govern ments established over it, in order that "the pea plc therein may rule," we hold that it is a prin ciple of common honesty,.which Congress ought not to abrogate,-that citizens from all the States shall have the liberty to mettle Sere and be pro tected in their rights of property! And, then,• When a community thus settled, made up of peo ple froth the North, and from the South, and from Europe, shall assemble together in their primary capacity, sad choose for themselves a State Constitution, the prineiples of non-inter vention--the doctrine that "the people shall rule" —tell* its that they aught to have the same pri vilege as is - granted to the States of the .Uni on, of establishing or rejecting the institution of Domestic Slavery, or any other institution not inconsistent with the Federal compact. This is Democracy, as we tinderstand it; stud it is no ne doctrine with us. We contended earnestly for it in 1848 tinder the lead of that great statesman, Lewis Cass, and we are ready to do so again.— We thought then, in the case of the territories of California and New Mexico, as we do now in re ference to Nebraska and Kansas, that the people, whether in limited or unlimitednumbers, are cap able of self-government; that they ought, wheth er in Territories or in States, bdleft free to adopt or reject any domestic inatitution,or system onion, not incompatible with the Federal Constitution; and that over such rights Congress ought not, end of right should not, exercise control. And this is the principle, upon whick_the Nebraska bill is founded, in a nutsthell. It adds nothing to slavery—it takes nothing from it, leaving all questions of a domestic nature to the people of the respective states and territories. -It places every citizen of the Union, whether his domicil be on the coast of the Pacific, or on the banks of the Aroostook, upon an equality—it preserves the rights of the states, and curtails the ability of the Federal government to centralise power. True,this doespot suit the True AsseriCas, and the politicians ot that ilk; but it does us. It suits non because there is a principle of kozesey in it—_principle which asserts that none of the par ties to a partnership property shall be excluded from a participation in the benefits arising from the possession of that property. In common law, we know our eotemporary would acknowledge the justice of this principle; but somehow 'sympathy for the slave has got the better of his judgment, and benee.be would, by arbitrary enactment, prevent his brethren in Kentucky from immigrating to Ne braska on an equality with himself! His ideas upon this poir4, (by way of illustration, let us add) are somewhat after the fashion Of an old Puritan father, we once heard of. The old gen tleman hal ascertained that ones df his sons was in the habit of visiting the meetings of a rival Church. "Now," said he to John one Monday morning, "I don't want to interfere with your re ligions liberty; you have an inalienable right, to worship God as best snits yon—that is gas ran teed by the Declaration of Independence—but if ever I catch you goilig to that other Church again, I'll thrash you within an inch of your lit." Now it is just so with this Nebraska business.— The free-soilers don't want to interfere with the rights of the South—that-is guaranteed to them by the Constitution—but if over they catch them interfering with the territories of the Union r -not the territories of the Northern halt' of the Union —why they'll take away their property in dou hie' quick time. They'll do this, too, not by the voice of the people of the territories themselves, but by the strong and arbitrary area of Northern power exercised through Conners. lifir Among the petitions presented in the Legislature last week, was one by Mr. Darsie, signed by citizens of Butler; Armstrong, Alle gheny, and Westmoreland, praying for an act to create a new eaunty, to be called "Fi&buster, or young Anicritit." Among the numerous rea sons assigned why their request should be grant ed were, that they were so located as to be de prived of n reasonable share of the small "loaves and fishev"--that the proposed new county com prised a dense population, among whom were taw aspirants for office, so that there need be no wanting for spoils, &c.; and, in short, "the larger the fish, the more the anglers!" The reeling of this document caused roars of laugh ter.

Wow The Denameatie State Convention agmembles at Harrisburg on the Bth of March, at Which can didates for Governor, Judge of•the Supreme Court, and Canal Commissioner, will be matins led. In regard to the candidates for the two for mer °floes, public opinion has tuierringlypointed to, and demands the re-nomitation of Gov. Bra t= and Judge BLACK. So far as we can judge the unanimity of feeling among the masses of the people in favor of Biattu is even stronger than when, at Reading three years ago, he received the unanimous nomination of his party, and af terwards was most triumphantly elected over one of the runt adroit politicians in the opposition ranks. Who his competitor will be in this can vass we know net; but whoever he may be, and we sincerely trust the w higs will bring out s min that will make the canvass interesting, we cal eon& deafly predict that, like Capt. Scott's coon, he'll have to come down. We are aware that some of the opposition presses affect to foresee trouble in the Democratic ranks ere the canvass is ended. They predicate this hope upon an 000asional rip ple of opposition to Brains which has manifest ed itself during the last six months. Let them lay no flattering unction of this kind to heart. The opposition to BUIL= will disappear like. chaff before the wind ere the members of the Elate Convention reach their homes. From the very first inception 'of this opposition it has been "grqwing small by degrees and beautifully less," until we doubt whether it will show itself at all in the Convention. It has, in fact, become throughly ashamed, if not actually disgusted with itself. It was, in its first inception, to use the language of the Valley Spirit, the most insigni &ant and impotent political demonstration that was over made in this State. There is not a name connected with the movement, which can command ordinary respect, much less active co openition. It originated from a coalition of place seekers,- whose characters and qualifications were so well understood by the General and State Ad ministrations, that they were repulsed, and pro perly too, without even the poor compliment of respectful eonsiderition. It was natural that they should conceive the insane idea of distracting and defeating the party; butYwe must not forget; that an overweening vanity like this carries its own mire, and administers it very soon after the ap pearance of the disease. Politieitins are especi ally subject to these unnatural eruptions; and we have been in the habit of regarding them as . the best way in which political corruption can be dis charged. It is laughable to see what degrees of importance. they sometimes place upon their tri dug machinations- The deduction is easy for them, that their discontent implies a general and pervading inclination to revolt against partisan usages; bat when the matter comesoo a popular test, wo invariably loose sight of them and their paltry schemes . It does not often occur that they can commend enough of votes to make a decent figure in 'the returns; but it dees fre quently happen that before the grand explosion they slink timidly and-suppliantly into the ranks. And it will be so in this ease, for the popularity of Gov. Bigler and his administration cannot be .disputed. Every objection which has been urged against him, .can be traced to the motives sad persons wo have already depicted. There is - a general concession of his ability, integrity and patriotism. His renomination is a fixed fact. How do those ambitious and itching gen tlemen expect to compass his defeat? By the nomination of an independent DeMocratie can didate? We ;angina that there is not a man in the party who is so consummate a. fool as to commit political suicide by mesh n step. Or, by a regular bolting to a Whig nominee? Those ho expect that, know but little of the temper and fidelity of the Pennsylvania Democracy.- - They wilt stand firm to their usages and their nominations; and will rally ardund their tried and faithful servants with an inflexible devotion that will teach all these discontented spirits that they are just as unable to ruin as to .rule. We hope that they may retreat in time, and save themselves from the disgrace of a discomfiture after so noisy - a flourish of trumpets as they have made in the assault.. They will, at least, save their own feelings by ad opting that alterna tive. They will he entirely lost sight of, and be spared the infliction of the je e rs and contempt which must attend their exertions after the earn- WI. Our friend of the Cnnneautville Courier wanted to know, in his nuralwr last week. .why some of the Pnbrushers in this -city do not start a daily. We eau answer forourAelf: We do, not desire to ptiblish a daily -merely for glory; Glory, we know. is some comptusation, it it dou'i cost - too rnic-it; but our experience in the news paper business •a!I t • pr..v, that it ‘loes.— And we think w., arenot aloud'. for we notice that the daily paper started in Laneaster, a city with about double the population of Erie, has been suspended, after a trial of a few mouth* with a dead loss to the publishers of about tuo thousand dollars. The glory of publishing a daily at that rate is too expensive. The Courier =consider us out. ay. We think Graham's new paper "The Sa turday Evening Mail," is, the very best literary newspaper published in Philadelphia. Unlike most of the Philadelphia weeklies it has a mind and a will of its own. Whatever the Editor likes in Literature and Art, or in the Political World, ho is not slow in letting his approval be known; and the same may be mid in regard to that which he. does not like. Another feature in the Mai/ we like, is the weekly selections from the leading articles of the English press. Such a department opens to the readers of the Mai/ a mine of thought and information. Success to the Mail, say we: as.
