eTciiing'j was' probably of thcP most im

the most discussion waa the most earn-Mtljf-idvocatbd
!and determinedly op
pcd f any other measure this winter.

hopelessly ineol vent, j : Thirteen millions
bf dollars have been expended upon it,
lii it is uiifiniiihed. -'The income does
notpay tne" running expenses j and the
interest on the debta has been accumu
lating forc years.-. European Capitalists
held mortgages upon it for six or seven
Bullions of dollars, while domestic 'cred
itors held its bonds for several millions.
In this state ,o thing it was madness
to ask for money j to eoniplcte the Road
and maintain it in running order. J In
tho' meantime the . bridges and trussel
ork were going .to decay, and the only
prospect ahead: was the abandonment of
the Road, and . its: loss to the public as
means of developing' the resources of the
mineral region,' through which it runs.
The, entire .flock subscribed was hope
jlessly eunk, and could not be sold for a
rent on the thousand dollars. The Road,
if sold, would noCPring under tany cir
cumstances, enough, to pay off ,the first
nd second mortgages, ' the -holders of
rhiek'had commenced proceedings to
tring It to a 'sale.TA decree had been
ypuined for.the sale' of the Road, and. if
vHtuihiiaAl l.r lia rrnro A a i. YS7M1 1 A
be; if sold ai all, the stockholders and
unsecured ereditorsTCould, of course, re
ceive nothing, and.th probabilities were,
that the,, purchasers would sell , the, iron
and rolling Stock, and abandon the Road
to destruction; 1
rJi "fit "T;J U 'r:fc- ;:--
To prevent this j an arrangement ; was
made with the European morgagees by
which it was agreed that if an act of the
Legislature could be passed authorizing
the purchasers, under the sale, to take
the corporate fraucliisc of the Conw
pany and re-organize under the' charter,
the would advance" the; money "neces
sary to complete, the work, with tiome
contingent .benefits to the stockholders
and unsecured creditors of the Company.
This' arrangement was assented ' to by
the1 holders of eleven, out , of tbe thirT
teen millions ' of dollars invested, and
they asked ' the sanction of the Legisla
ture to iheir arrangemcirt. v Some of the
-rmsecureei creditors objected unless they
were; first paid inj full; But the main
objection raised by ; nienibera was,, of
course, to the constitutionality of the
act, and three days, of, the session were
rent in debate. , It is true we had the

Staabiry -and 'Swayne, 'and Thurman,

islature had full constitutional power to
arrant the relief. And we must eonfess
it was considerable of a bore to be com
pelled io sit for hours and even days,
listening ' to constitutional objections
urged in bad grammar and worse logic
by gentlemen legislators who never saw

will te no adjourned Bession, although
very many are in favor of it. : 1 '

at thfr whole system. We sent for ' pub

.1 Gov. Sam.. Medary has vetoe'd the bill
of the Territorial Legislature of Kansas,
abolishing Slavery in that Territory.
Notwithstanding this veto, the Legisla
ture will probably pass the bill over his
veto by a two-thirds "vote. Ever since
the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska bill,
it has been the boast of the Democratic
party that their policy was to. leave the
"people of the Territories free, to regu
late their own domeBtic institutions in
their own way.' . How have they carried
out these professions? Let the authen
ticated ; history of the past few years
answer. With that history every school
boy is familiar. All ; the corrupt in
fluencesall the power of a corrupt Ad
ministration have " been constantly
brought to bear upon the people of Kan
sas : to force slavery upon them; but
when that people have arisen in their
might and refused 'to obey the. behests
of the "powers that be" at Washington
when they have, through their legiti
mate agents, the Territorial Legislature,
declared, emphatically that they wish
Slavery abolished in their Territorythe
Tyrant's , poer the executive ,,veto r
has been brought to bear upon their acts,
to crush out the' will of a majority of the
people as expressed by their representa
tives. We , call . this "Popular Sov
ereignty" with' a vengeance. .
' Let not the people of this land be
blinded and hoodwinked longer by these
unprincipled demagogues and tyrants,
who only desire to keep the name democ
racy without the reality. Who does not
know that the well-known and oft-repeated
wish of the people of the Terri
tory of Kansas has, time after time, been
disregarded by these very persons loud
est in their professions for "Popular Sov
ereignty, " which administered as it has
been for a few years past, by, Democracy
is simply art unmitigated humbug, no
more or no less. It is high time that
the people were opening their eyes to !
the true design of the mis-called Demo
cratic partyr" which is to spread Slavery
over ' every foot of ' Territory now free,
wherever it can possibly be done." The
Democratic party ia now, as it has ever
been, a pro-slavery party, sacrificing ev
ery principle of right and justice to per
petuate and spread the "peculiar institu
tion." . """.,; .'. ' '.'';
; We ask every disinterested man to
look at these things calmly and dispas
sionately to view the tortuous course
of that party for years past to look
where the leaders have been taking them
-and then to support the rotten insti
tution if they can. .. Every promise ever
made to the people of Kansas by the
"popular sovereignty" party has been
grossly violated not one single pledge
has ever , been redeemed; and, yet, we
hear Democratic politicians and news
papers prating of "popular sovereignty"
the people of the Territories govern

i -We copy from the Eastern Clarion, a
Democratic paper published at Paulding,
Miss.,' the three, first resolutions passed
by the Mississippi Legislature in refer
ence to a proposed Southern Convention,
to take into consideration the "irrepres
sible : conflict question, and prepare
themselves ; for emergencies , that may
arise from the "election of a President
of the United States by one section of
the Union:"
ist. Resolved, ly tlie Legislature of (lie
State of Mississippi, That the Constitution
of the United States recognizes property
in slaves, and the G oyejnment created
by it cannot, nor can any tribunal, act
ing under its authority, whether it be
Legislative, Executive or Judicial,
with its appropriate sphere, justly with
hold from the owners of slaves that ade
quate protection for their slave property,
to which the owners of property of other
kinds are entitled, or which from its na
ture they may further require to secure
them in its possession and enjoyment.
2d. That the election of .a President
of the United States, by the votes of one
section of the " Union only, on
the . ground that there exists an irre
pressible conflict between the two sec
tions, in reference to their respective
system of labor, and with an avowed
purpose of hostility to the institution of
slavery as it prevails in the Southern
States, and as recognized by the com
pact of Union, would so threaten a de
struction of the ends for which the Con
stitution was formed, a$ to justify the slave
holding States in taking counsel , together
for their separate protection and safety.
. 6cL That in order to be prepared tor
such a contingency, Mississippi accepts
the invitation of South. Carolina to her
sister slaveholding States to meet in Con
vention, and proposes the first - Monday
in June next, and Atlanta, Georgia, as a
suitable time and place to meet to coun
sel together and recommend the action
they will take in such "an - event which,
action shall be reported to the Governor,
who shall convene the Legislature, if in
his judgment it may be required and
that this Legislature at its present ses
sion proceed to elect seven delegates to

THE NEW PEMOCR ATIC PLATFORM.
Below we give in full the Democratic
scaffolding fset up' by the ; Democratic
Senators fori the -'execution of : Douglas
at Charleston. Whether he Swill 'really
be the victim, or whether JeflDavis, its
author, will then appear in the character
of Haman, remains to be determined.
The resolutions will pass the Senate,
with probably only the votes of Douglas
and Pugh (among Democrats) in oppo
sition. They adopt, if will be seen, the
Buchanan theory as to slavery in the
Territories, specially denounce the
squatter sovereignty and unfriendly leg-r
islation of Douelas. substantially en
dorse the slave-code nolicV. and will, if
adopted by the Charleston Convention,
as isjhthded,"jreclude the nomination
of the Little Rebel. Here are the reso
lution, as finallv agreed on in caucus.
1. Resolved, ' That in the adoption of
the Federal Constitution, ; the otates
adopting the same acted as free and in
dependent 1 sovereignties, ' delegating a
port ion of their powers to be exercised
by the Federal Government, for the in
creased security of each, against dangers
domestic as well as foreign; and that any
intermeddling by any One onnore States,
or by a combination of their citizens,
with the domestic institutions of the
others," on any pretext, whether political,
moral or religious, with the view to their
disturbance or subversion, is in violation
of the Constitution," insulting to the
States so interfered .'with, endangers
theis domestic peace and tranquillity
objects for which the Constitution was
formed and, by necessary consequence,
serves to weaken and destroy the Union
itself i '
'2. Resolved, That Negro Slavery, as
it exists in fifteen States of this Union,
composes an important portion of their
domestic institutions, inherited from
their ancestors, and existing at the
adoption of the Constitution, by which
it is recognized as constituting an impor
tant element of the apportionment of
powers among the States; and that no
change of opinion or feeling on the part
of the non-slaveholding States of the
Union in relation to this institution can
justify them or their citizens in open
and systematic attacks therein, with a
view to its overthrow; and that all such
attacks are in manifest violation of the
mutual and solemn pledges to protect
and defend' each other,' given by the
States, respectively, on entering into the
Constitutional compact which formed
the Union, and are a manifest breach of
faith and a violation of the most solemn
obligation. ' 1 '
3. Resolved, .That the union of these
States rests on the equality of rights and
privileges among its members, and that
is especially ' the duty of the Senate,
which '' represents the States in their
sovereign capacity, to resist all attempts
to discriminate either in relation to per
son or property, so as, in the Territories
which are -the common possession of
the United States to give advantages to
the citizens of one State which are not
equally secured to those of every other
State. ;
4. Resolved, That neither Congress,
nor a 'Territorial Legislature; whether
by direct legislation or legislation ot an
indirect and unfriendly nature, possess
the power to annul or impair the con
stitutional 'right of any citizen of the
United States to take his slave property
into the common Territories; but it is
the duty of the "Federal Government
there to afford for that, as for other
species of property, the needful protec
tion; and if experience should at any
time prove that the Judiciary does not
possess power to insure adequate protec:
tion, it will then become the duty of
Congress to supply such deficiency. : '
5. Resolved, That the inhabitants of
an organized ; Territory of the United
States,, when they rightfully form a
Constitution, to be admitted as a State
into the: Union, may then, for the first
time, like the people of a State when
forming a new Constitution, decide for
themselves whether Slavery, as a domes
tic institution, shall be maintained or
prohibited within their jurisdiction; and
if Congress shall admit them as a State,
"they shall be received into the Union
with or without Slavery as their Consti
tution may prescribe at the time of their
admission." - ,
6. Resolved, That the provision of the
Constitution for the rendition of fugitives
from service or labor, "without the
adoption of which the Union could not
have been formed," and the laws of 1793
and 1850, which were enacted to secure
its execution, and the main features of
which, being similar, bear the impress,
of nearly seventy years of sanction by
the highest judicial authority, have un
questionable claim to the respect and
observance of all who enjoy the benefits
of our compact of Union; and that the
acts of State Legislatures to defeat the
purpose, or nullify the requirements of
that provision, and the laws made in
pursuance of it, are hostile in character
subversive of the Constitution, revolu
tionary in their effect, and if persisted
in, must sooner or later lead the States
injured by such breach ot the compact
to exercise their judgment as to the
proper mode and measures of redress.
TheNew'Tork Tribune's Washington
correspondent says:
It is not improbable, if this platform
shonld be adopted at Charleston, which
the South : will certainly demand if a
Northern man should be nominated, that
a third candidate may be run after the
example OfVan Buren. Sagacious Dem
ocrats regard the party as morally dis
rupted, and admit Republican success
with ordinary discretion.

Democratic Presidential Speculation.
The Kansas City Journal of Com
merce, edited by R. T. Van Horn, favors
the nomination of Gen. Jo. Lane, by
the Charleston Convention, and thinks
he is decidedly the man for the times.
It speculates as follows, making Doug
las' chances for election slim,' even if
he should receive the nomination:
"Suppose, for instance, a distin
guished Senator of the North, Mr. Doug
las, who it is said, will carry the whole
North-western Democracy, should re
ceive the nomination at Charleston.
Admit that he carried into that Conven
tion all the delegates from those States,
that is no evidence that he will be able
to secure their electoral vote in 1860.
Indeed, we know that some of those
States are hopelessly Abolitionized,and
that no Democrat, not even Mr. Doug
las, can secure their vote. Then, on the
other, hand, Mr.' Douglas would, in all
human probability, fail to carry some
sure Southern Democratic States, that,
with ; another candidate, could be set
down as ' certain. We think we see in
this aspect of things the reason why
Greeley, in his late letter from the North
west, prophecies the nomination of Mr.
Douglas. The "wish is father to the
thought;" because, in that event, Gree
ley would have a hope of a Republican
triumph.
. Again, suppose some distinguished
Southern gentleman, with a strong local
reputation- such a man as Wise, Hun
ter, Guthrie, Cobb, Johnson, or any
other of high character and standing
should be - the nominee, he would ibf
course receive the whole vote of the -15
Southern States, (120 votes) falling short
of an election by 34 votes, and being an
insufficient number of States, if the
question should go into the House." -
Bgy-The Legislature of Michigan,
some months since, enacted a law which
virtually abolishes the grand jury sys
tem, in allowing indictments upon infor

enactment having the same end in view,

! sin benate- has been instructed, by an
' unanimous vote, to bring in a similar
bill.
jThomas Jefferson was tall and

up comes a Mr. Peters, a wit of that day,
who, casting a sly glance from one to
the other, pushed boldly between them,
exclaiming, "pardon me, gentlemen, if, in

Washington, Feb.28.
The subject of oost office reform is to
! be taken up by the Republicans, as their
own measure. The plan of Mr. Sherman
is to provide that all postal service be
done by contract. Contracts are to be
made not only for carrying, but for de
livering the mails. The plan embraces
the abolition of the franking privilege.
The latter measure can only be carried
by the House in connection with the
former.
It i3 reported here to-day that Col.
Lee, who has some six hundred men be
tween Fort Clarke and Fort Brown in
Texas, has been ordered to crush out
Cortinas and his band of outlaws, even
if obliged to follow them into Mexico.
This action results from an application
of Gen. Houston for the protection of
American citizens upon the Rio Grande,
which region is represented by Senator
II. to have been desolated by fire and
sword. It is also confidently asserted
that the Governor of Chihuahua having
applied to our Government for troops to
protect that Province from the ravages
of organized bands of murderers, our
troops are to intervene there also.
The Mexican treaty was only discussed
by one side yesterday, that is to say by

WisniNOTON, Feb. 29.
House. Mr. Parrott presented the
resolutions of the Kansas Legislature,
asking admission into the Union under the
Wyandotte Constitution. Referred to
the Committee on Territories.
Mr. Ruffin called up his motion made
yesterday to amend tho journal. His
name on the last vote for Printer was
not recorded. How it happened he was
at a loss to know. During the years he
had been member of the House he had
never missed a vote, except when absent
from the city, or confined to his bed by
sickness. He was quite certain that he
voted for Mr. Glossbrenner, and mi
nutely stated all the circumstances at
tending the vote.
Mr. Sherman supposed, from what had
been said, that everybody was satisfied
that Mr. Ruffin voted; therefore his name
ought to appear on the journal, what
ever may be the consequence.
The House ordered the journal to be
so corrected. .
The Speaker declared that the election
would be considered as a nullity.
The Speaker said the House would
proceed to the election of a Printer.
Mr. Washburne, of Maine, asked
whether it would not be better to post
pone the election until to-morrow or
some othe"r day.
Mr. Barksdale moved to postpone till
to-morrow. The House, however, pro
ceeded to vote:

Mr. Ruffin had inquired whether his

On motion of Mr. Sherman, further
consideration of the subject was post
poned till to-morrow at 2 o'clock.
Senate. The galleries were densely
crowded: and the heat was excessive.
Mr. Seward presented a memorial of
the Legislature of Kansas, praying" for
admission into the Union.
Mr. Seward then spoke, referring
briefly to the repeal of the Missouri
Compromise and its effects upon the Ter
ritory of Kansas.
Immediately after that event the Whig
party went down, never to rise again,
arid the Republican party was organized,
He spoke of the efforts of Democrats to
make Kansas a slave State, and to force
it into the Union as such, and denounced
that party's efforts to mask itself behind
the battery of the Supreme Court.
He said the policy of the Republican
party was to stand by the freedom of
speech and oi the press, the speedy im
provement of the public domain by home
stead laws, and it will encourage mining,
manufactures , and international com
merce. He was no assailant of States: all
the States were parts of his own country.
He said it was well and wisely ar
ranged that the States were sovereign
on the subject of slavery within their
own borders. , He said John Brown and
his associates acted in earnest, through
fatally eroneous convictions. He pro
nounced the act an act of sedition and
treasonand criminal in just the extent
that it affected the public peace, and was
destructive of human life. He did not
think anything serious would grow out
of the repeated threats to dissolve the
Union.
Washinotoic, March, 1.
There were some noticeable points in
the debate in the Senate yesterday after
noon, which was protracted until half
past six o'clock. No sooner had Mr.
Seward concluded, than he was assailed
with great ferocity by Douglas and Da
vis. I he iormer with his characteristic
insolence and impertinence, assailed the
Senator from New York, imputing per
sonal motives and indulging generally in
those clap-trap arguments which may do
on the sturiip, but are hardly suited to
the Senate Chamber, and were in marked
contrast to the dignified and lofty tone
which distinguished Mr. Seward's deliv
ery. The Little Giant of course de
feuded, with all the fuss of a hen with
one chicken, his pet bantling the Kansas-Nebraska
Bill which he labored
very, hard to show was only the natural
sequel of the Compromise Measures of
1850. ;
JtRUMBULL AND DOUGLAS.
Mr. Trumbull took him up and put
him in a very tight place by recalling
the fact that when the Kansas-Nebraska
bill was first reported it did not contain
the clause repealing the Missouri Com
promise. That was proposed by Dixon,
of Kentucky, and when first offered, was
denounced by Douglas and his friends
as a fire-brand. He also reminded
Douglas that when the Republicans pro
posed an amendment allowing the peo
ple of Kansas and Nebraska to elect their
own Governors, he voted against it, and
the result was that the Governors of
those Territories had defeated the popu
lar will by vetoing bills prohibiting sla
very. This was popular sovereignty
with a vengeance.
He further asked Douglas how there
were to be under his doctrine any more
free States, inasmuch as he asserted that
the Constitution carried Slavery into the
Territories, and further said that no
State could undertake to deprive per
sons of their property. How under the
latter proposition Slavery was to be ex
cluded from any State he could not sec.
. . DOUGLAS RUNS.
These questions and reminiscences did
not suit Douglas, and after indulging in
a few lame attempts at witticism, to the
great delight of his claquers in the gal
lery, and some reckless assertions which
he could hardly expect any one to be
lieve, he finally turned tail and left the
chamber,. while Trumbull was still pour
ing hot shot into him. Trumbull re
marked that that was usual habit when
he was arraigned. .
The : Harper's Ferry Investigating
Committee having no more witnesses to
examine for the present, have adjourned,
subject to the call of the Chairman.
Washington, March 2.
The struggle for Printer in the House
was terminated to-day by the election,
or rather re-election of Mr. Ford, who
obtained two more votes than were nec
essary to elect.
The outside people who hoped to suc
ceed in forming a successful combina
tion of Democrats and Americans, are
much disappointed, and say that Wen
dell is to receive the benefit of this elec
tion. Both Houses have been busily en
gaged on private bills to-day, and Con
gressional proceedings are therefore fear
fullydull. BThe Rochester Union, a promi
nent Democratic paper, is deeply dis
satisfied with Mr. Douglas for his recent
desertion of principles, and remarks:
'If Mr. Douglas really did avow, his
determination to support the Charleston
nomination, no matter what kind of a
platform may be adopted, and at the
same time declared that the slave-territorial
question is simply a judicial ques
tion, we fail to see why he did not, ipso
facto, commit political suicide. We
sincerely hope he has been misrepre
sented. The Democracy of this
country are not in the habit of taking
their creed ready-made from the Supreme
Court. Especially are they not in the
habit of stifling their convictions, and
referring to that court in advance, for
their political "principles." When they
arrive at that point, they will justly be
come the scorn and derision oftheworld.

From tbe Mines The Arkansas Diggings.
We have been lately favored with the
perusal of several business letters from
the cold mines, which are-full of inter
est The difficulties at Denver and Au-i
raria promise to be protracted, and are
already driving large numbers of peace
able citizens to other localities. -The:
coarse of speculation and "quarrels in
regard to titles has already set iff, which
must speedily suspend the growth of the
two places, and remove frorii them the
active, enterprising and industrious class
of population.
From the South Park and the Arkan
sas, the news is unusually favorable.
At Colorado City, Fountain City, and
other towns, the erection of houses is
proceeding with wonderful rapidity, and
the yield of gold surpasses that of any
leads yet discovered. The Southern
mines have already proved themselves
to be richer and more easily worked
than those of Gregory or Denver. The
Valley of San Louis.'sull farther South,
and on the Mexican side of the Arkan
sas, at the sources of the Rio Grande, is
being prospected with success, and
proves still more conclusively that the
farther South the prospecting is carried,
the richer the deposites. It would, not
surprise us, if before the next season
closes that the South Platte mines were
abandoned for the richer and more salu
brious regions of the Southern mines.
The Valley of San Louis, as , described
by Beale and Fremont, is the most lovely
mountain valley - in the world, and -its
natural parks of forest trees, fountains
of purest water rich meadows and syl
van beauties, fit it for a paradise. There
is not on the globe such a magnificent
mountain region as that of the Valley
of San Louis and its sister parks, and it
must be the Eldorado of the gold seek
ers hereafter. '
The cold inhospitable climate of the
Northern mountains; the wild broken
and impassable nature of the country,
its short seasons and heavymining, must
ever make it but a precarious region to
the miner; but the beautiful climate,
richer leads, abundaut water, and fine
tillable lands of the Southern mines,
added to their superior and abundant
timber, must make them ' the center of
population and wealth. West. Jour, of

Abating Nuisances in Kentucky.
The Grand Jury of Campbell county
found bills against about a score of per
sons tor a not, in the destruction of W
S. Bailey's, paper, the Free South. I The
State's Attorney hearing of this, argued
the matter before them, taking the
ground that it was the law that where a
nuisance existed which could not be
reached by law, the people had a right
to abate it. ,, Ihe jury sought the opin
ion of Judge Moor on the question, and
he told them that it was the law; where
upon they reconsidered and quashed the
indictments. So the Jaw is in Kentucky
that anything that is not in violation of
law, a newspaper for instance, may be
destroyed by anybody who will declare
it a nuisance. ; "A Daniel come to judg
