From the Bouton I’ost.
POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY.
This is the subject which, according to Sen
at) Douglas, threatens the integrity of the
D ..crntic party. To this opinion I do not
ribe ; for I believe, with Jefferson, that
t masses have no motive for going wrong,
;i i. I if they make a mistake they will rectify
it. fntth may lie made so clear that it can be
s th, and seen alike by those who wish to
know it. Mr. Douglas and those who oppose
him shall be, to my mind, in this investigation,
Algebraic quantities.
[’..pillar Sovereignty, ns>"tv}Jefined by -Mr.
Douglas, means the rigj4W«< erril '' rinl
Mature to exclude : darehMers and slavery from
the Territories of the United States. This is
the 1 oint of dispute at the present time, and
to cover this position he uses the catch words
“ Popular Sovereignty.” Whatever of public
favors can be gathered from this cry he at
tempts to throw around his position.
«ow the true popular sovereignty that has
led favoi with the people has no such limi
tation as this. The original meaning, and the
true and fair meaning is. that the people of a
Territory have a right to establish their own
permanent institutions, when they become
States, without any shaping or previous mould
ing by the National Government. The great
feature of the Kansas-Nebraska Act, the one
that gave it character, the one that brought
upon it the concentrated wrath of the serried
Opposition, was the repeal of the Missouri 7?r
strietion. In that restriction Congress bad
dyked out the slaveholders, its removal open
ed the gates of the Territories to all the States
alike.
It was for this repeal of .a formative restric
tion upon the Territories that a shower of
dart" rattled upon Democratic shields during a
debate that continued for months in the Sen
ate and in the House, and which has seldom
been surpassed in the fierceness of the attack
and the boldness of the defence. Popular sov
ereignty, the right of the people to form their
own institutions, was the Malakoff of defence
against nil the nssanlts of the enemy.
But it was not a partial, nor a sectional nor
a temporary popular sovereignty that was in- ,
tended, but the rights of all the citizens of all |
the States to go into the Territories and take
possession of these lands, and when they frame
flu ir permanent institutions to do it in their
own way.
Mr. Douglas claims for a Territorial Gov
ernment a sovereignty which by no means I e
longs to it.
In the first place justice is against the theo
ry of Mr. Douglas.
Virginia in 1787 generously ceded to the
United States an empire out of whifh five
flourishing free States have been formed. It
was a princely donation, magnanimously given.
In 1803 we obtained by purchase from France
Louisiana, paid for out of the common treasu
ry of the nation. This Territory was acquir
ed by the foresight and zeal of Southern
statesmen, and was opposed by many leading
statesmen from the free States. Slavery had
possession of it, could go all over it as fast as
slaves could be multiplied or imported. Noth
ing, so far, gives the North any preeminence
in the Territories. Texas was annexed by
Southern men, under a terrific fire of denunci
ation from the North.
New Mexico and California were added to
the Union, not by Northern argument, elo
quence or votes, but by Southern. Now for
all this the South have claimed no preemption
in the Territories—they only claim their equal
right to settle and keep possession under the
broad shield of the Union, until the New Lo
cal sovereignty comes in and takes possession
—that is a State with a State constitution. —
Who can say that tho claim of the South is
not fair—just, and no more than just ? Who
being one of them would not insist upon this
right ?
But Mr. Douglas replies, the Kansas Nebras
ka bill raises up a power which may exclude
them, viz: The Territorial Government. Now
there is nothing in the act itself which gives
this power and Mr. Douglas is compelled to
resort to inference for the foundation of his
whole theory. The whole drift, tb- animus
of the article in Harper is that a " -itorial
government is endowed with the antes ot
a State—that it is a sovereignty, a there
fore, may do what a State can do, abolish or
protect slavery as it pleases.
That I do not misunderstand, nor misrepre
sent the article in question, is evident from
the interpretation given to it by the Chicago
Times, a paper most friendly to, if not the or
gan of Mr. Douglas.
“'From the first word to the very close of the arli
-1 ■ in Harper, the argument is directed 1 » prove a
■ I-: >t point, viz: That the p "pie of a Territory,
m the in .meat that n Territorial government has
" ':n established. kave. like the pe .pie of a State, the
free, lull and narestrtated authority to regulate all
■ I lestions ot a local or domestic nature: that slavery
i-"tie of those 1 teal ami dour .-lie questions, and that
: ■ people of Kansas or any ether Territory, have
lite -ante exclusive authe-rity ari< control over that
subject within their Territorial limits that South
‘ aroliua or any other State within her limits.”
AVe shall see in the course of this discussion,
t. Mr. Douglas claims for a Territorial gov
ernment all the rights that Pennsylvania or
ary other State possesses.
Now it on this one point the analogy fails, his
whole structure falls to the ground. Mr.
I 1 'lights, in the introduction to the Kansas act.
t ok especial pains to assure the Semite and
t country that it was framed upon the prin
j les of the compromise acts of 18511. Prin
ks were there asserted, said Mr. Douglas,
w Lich were to govern in all future cases. One
' t the provisions of the Utah and New Mexico
■ritorial act. was. that they should be ad
-1 sited with or without slavery in their consti
‘ u on. That is, when they became States,
t 11 the ipiestion of slavery was to be defin
'lulled. "When admitted as a State, the
■ I Territory, or any portion of the same,
ill be received into the Union with or with-
■ t ‘lavery, as their constitution may prescribe
the time of its adoption." It this was the
' > Ltl of the Kansas oct. then slavery was to
• it el at that time ami not before. Again,
it was distinctly proposed once in the Senate,
ami twi e In the House of ileprosontatives, to
t<> this Territorial legislature power over
■pi- -tiiHi of slavery, and the propneitiuti
*’«» twice rejected.
Mr. Uiiase, of Ohio, proposed as an araeniL

e 10, nat» ">6. Mr. Douglas voting in Me •ua/a
--t
. When the Kansas bill was under discussion
I in the House, Mr. Mace, of Indiana, offered
the toilowing amendment:—“ And the Legis
. lature of said Territory is hereby clothed with
, ! lull power at any session thereof toestablish or
. I prohibit slavery.” Ayes 76, noes 94.
Here, then, it is prftved by two infallible
witnesses that Congress did not intend to give
tothis Territorial Legislature the power over
. slavery, either to prohibit or to establish.—
, Hut - ay- Mr. Doimias, cite recognition of their
, capacity for self-government is an admission
I of their sovereignty, and. of course, of their
s right to act on the subject of slavery.
Now let us sec what sovereignty there is in
a Territorial Legislature.
The Governor, who vetoes or approves of
! the laws, is a dependent on the President—ap
pointed by him, removed by him. and paid by
the Treasury of tho United States. He docs
not come tr< tn tho people, is not dependent
upon them for pay nor office. No sovereign
ty in this, neither popular nor ministerial; yet
he is a part ot the Legistatnre—gives certifi
cates to every member of the first Legislature;
has command of the army of the Territory :
can enforce or refuse to enforce any law, r.nd
popular sovereignty cannot touch him. Then
the Attorney of the Territory is appointed and I
paid by the I nited States government. The
Judges, who determine the constitutionality
of the laws, are all appointed and hold their
offices at the will of the President. And be
yond this, the members of the Legislature are
paid three dollars a day and traveling expenses |
by the United States, for forty days, and for
forty days only. This Legislature is limited
in the time of its session, and can only legis
late for forty days, unless on special call by the
Governor. This is not sovereignty, but sub
ordination.
How much sovereignty is therein a govern
ment held in the executive hand, as clay in j
the hand of the potter. This is not sovereign- !
: tv. but subordination. Every spring of the
j whole machinery is touched by the executive
hand, and in every Territorial government up
to 1854, Congress reserved the right to make
“null and void” any law of this Territorial
soverign they might see tit to veto, and to
wipe out the entire machinery if they thought
best. This Congress did in tho case of Louisi
■ ana, and this Mr. Douglas proposed to do in
the case of the Utah rebellion. Is it not broad
farce to call such a power, dependent in every
feature of it, a sovereinnty? Not even the sa
cred catch word "popular” prefixed can save
it from ridicule.
It shows most conclusively that when a man
aarps on one theme from year to year, there
is one person sure to become bewildered and
lost.
By permission of Congress, the people of a
Territory elect a Council and House of Rep
resentatives to act for forty days, and pass laws
that a Governor fronutlie President, may ve
to; or if they get two thirds against the Gov
ernor, Congress may, in the forcible language
of Judge Douglas, "wipe them out of exis
tence.”
Having seen that, from a careful analysis of
the'Kansas Bill and die Territorial Govern
ment, that there is no element of sovereignty
m either; also that the Senate and the House
expressly refused to delegate tho power over
slavery to the Territorial Legislature, let us
see what light the record of this legislation
throws upon the subject.
What did the author, what did friends or
toes understand by this bill at the time it was
passed ? Did the author then claim that his
bill would authorize the Territorial Legisla
ture to abolish slavery ? Not one such avow
al is on record from the lips of Mr. Douglas.—
On the other hand, tho covert phrase giving
right to legislate on all subjects, “subject only
to the Constitution of the United States,” was
understood to protect slavery in the Territo
ries, and Mr. Douglas knew that it was so un
derstood, and did not correct the error if he
thought differently at the time.
Let us see how the opponents of the bill un
derstood it at the time.
Mr. Chase, of Ohio, said in tne Senate when
tho bill was there discussed—
“ The provisions I have quoted abrogate the Mis
souri proliihiti'ui. It (the bill) asserts no right in
the Territorial Legislature to prohibit slavery. The
Senator from Illinois was very careful to assert no
right of legislation in a Territorial Legislature ex
, cept subject to the restrictions ot the Constitution. —
We know well enough what tho understanding or
cLnm of Southern gentlemen is in respect to these
limitations ami restrictions. They insist tint by
them every Territorial Legislature is absolutely pre
cluded from ail power of legislation for the prohibi
' tion of slavery. I warn gentlemen, who propose to
sapport thia bill, that their votes for this provision
. will lie regarded as admitting this claim.”
I Hou. Thomas IL Benton declared—
' “This is the English of this smuggling process:
' abolish the compromise line and extend the Constiiu
' tion over the country; the Constitution recognizes
E slavery : therefore slavery is established as soon as
1 the line is abolishe 1 and the Constitution extended :
an I being put there by the Constitution it caunot be
1 -gislatcd out.” “Territorial sovereignty is a mons
trosity born of timidity ami ambition."—[Thomas H.
Bent tn. House Rep., April 25, 1854.
r S "::itt>r Wade, of Ohio, said—
“ The Territorial Legislature has, by this bill, no
a jurisdiction in the matter of slavery at all. Such is
Senator Butler's opinion of it, and such is tho true
« u.s'rnctiou of it.”
These assertions are but an index of the al
' most unanimous voice of the opponentsof this
bill.
I Now how d. the friends of the measure
'• understand it? What said those who vot-
I el tor it; The repeal of tho Missouri re
” | striction was restoring to the South free and
I" equal access to all ti >e Territories. Did the
south understand that it was creating or re
'• cognising a new power by which they could lie
” more effectually replied ? If they claimed
e the right to enter the-e lands and dwell upon
'• them with their slaves, beraitse they were Ter
ritories ot the United States, does not this
’ ; right continue wtiile they are Territories.—
s i While the reason or a law remains the law re
” 1 main*, and while the reason for a right re
*• ' mains the right itself remains. Let w> Lear

0 the bill. Listen to the Vice President, J. C.

Mr. Tuucey, <»i < <1.11., buu >• • tu. >of the
Navy:
“I'ere then in a Territory and when the Territory
is organized as a State, legislate over the
this domestic institution id a reserved right ot the
people of the .Sfote.”
Mr. Smith, of Tennessee, stands thus on the
record:
‘•The Territories are the c< n tnon property of al
the States and'of the people of all the States. I 1-
init ilii- right ot the pe- ] le to exclude slavery when
they jorin a Constitution to ask admission as a 3tate
ipto the Union.”
‘•The Territorial Lcgisiahire may ex< rciseno pow
.r which Congress could not havex xercised, and can
do no aet which will impair the rights of the States,
who are joint owner.’ of this Territory.”—Barry, of
Misss., April 27, 1854.
“The Constitution maintains perfect equality among
all the citizens of the United States. The right of
property in slaves is recognised by the Constitution.
The Territories are purchased out of the common
fund —the property of the whole United States, there
fore. while Territory all ha’ ea right there.”—Sena
tor Jones, of Tenn.
“I have not yielded the principle that tho people
-if the Territories, during their Territorial existence,
have the right to exclude slavery.”—Senator Brown,
o‘ Mississippi.
“It. in the process of settlement, the people of these
Territories shall be prepared to assume upon them
selves the attribute of a Sovereign State, they can
tuen certainly either exclude or admit slavery.”—
Senator Buller, of S. C.
“I believed when the Kansas bill was passed that
it conferred on the inhabitants of the Territories, du
ring their Territorial existence, no right to exclude
or in any way to interfere with slavery.”—Senator
Brown, of Mississippi.
“I hold that the pioneers who go to a Territory
have »hc right to settle there, and take with them any
property they may choose. There is no bond of mu
tual union if I may go to tho Territory of Kansas
with mv property, and a Southern gentleman must
at the same time be prohibited from going there with
his. Southern and Northern property should be
alike free to enter our Territories."—AVright of
Pennsylvania.
‘ If the people of a Territory should assume upon
to prohibit the introduction <>f‘the slavery
institution before they had formed a St ite govern
ment. su' h a proceeding would be a viol ation of the
constitutional right of slaveholders. The principles
of the Kansas-Nebraska law rest upon c.nd involve
these considerations”—lion. Jas. Stewai t, of Mary
land.
“I hold that the people of the Territory have no
right to legislate upon tbe subject of slavery for the
p irnoffc of disturbing tbe rights whicl wc of the
South have in our property until within their juris
dictional limits they have u population which would
entitle them to representation in Congress, and un
til they are capab! • of asserting political sovereign
ty—l mean by that the establishment of a Constitu
tion. Before this it would be absurd to talk about
the sovereignty »»f the Territories.” —Seward, of '
Georgia, House, May 10, 1854.
Tho above quotations, with one exception,
wpc- utforances made at the time the Kansas
bill wa under discussion in the Senate and in
the House—many of them were made in the
hearing, and nil within the knowledge of Mr.
Douglas. Now if he saw that so many were
voting for his bill under a deception, why did
he not frankly tell them that hi y territorial
bills were goine; forth armed to drive slavery
nut of tbe Territories by tbe scourge of “pop
ular sovereignty.” hidden in a Territorial
Government, but with one single popular ele
ment in its whole construction. Apply to it
any test you please, ami there are nine points
of dependence to one of sovereignty. But Mr.
Dougias did not so understand it himself at j
the time. The balloon of popular sovereignty
has been inflated since the passage of this bill.
If we turn from the immediate actors in Con- ,
gross, at the time of the passage of the Kan
sas bill, t • the opinions of eminent men North
and South on this subject, wc shall find that
they neither attribute to a Territorial Legisla
iature “sovereignty’’ nor tho right to banish
slavery.
Here is a voice that ought to be authentic
with Mr. Douglas—the Compromise Commit
tee of thirteen in 1850. That committee was
composed of the following distinguished gen- ,
tiemen, viz: Henry Clay, Daniel Webster,
Lewis Cass, D. S. Dickinson, Jesse D. Bright,
SamuelS. Phelps, Jas. Cooper, Wm. R. King,
S. U. Downs, W. I’. Mangum, John Bel) and
John M. Berrien. Their written report con- i
tains the following passage :
“The true principle which ought to regulate the
action of Congress in funning Territorial Govern
uients for each newly acquired domain, is to refrain
from all kgislativn on the subject of slavery in the
Territory acquired, to long as it retains the Territo
rial form of government, leaving it to the people of
said Territory when they have attained to such a
condition which c titles them to admission as a State,
to decide for themselves the question of ulluwauce or
prohibition of domestic slavery.”
The report of this committee, and the acti< m
which followed, was the affirmation of gre; it
principles, which Mr. Douglas said in his it 1-
troduction to his Kansas Bill, he had carried
out: nothing more, nothing less.
And yet here is Mr. Douglas giving an in
terpretation to his Kansas Bill in direct con
tradiction to the report of the committee of
thirteen. With this report looking him in the
face, with the image of the immortal thirteen
before him. how could he say in his Harper
article:—
“Thus terminated this great struggle in the af
firmance us the principle, as the basis of the compro
mise measures of so far as they related to the
organization of the Tcrritoriea, that the people of the
Territoriee uhould decide the slavery question for
thcni'o-lrex through the action of their Territorial Leq
inlutHree. ,>
Notone word of it This is the very thing
affirmed in the compromise measures that the
people could no? do, and ought not to do, till
they from their Constitution to become a
State.
Mr. Calhoun, in 1848, said—
‘•Tbe Territory is open to all the citizen, of tho
United States and it must remain open, and cannot
be cloned but by tbe people of tbe Territory, wheu
they came to from their own Constitution, and then
they can do as they please.”
Gen. Cass said—
“ Sovereignty is in no proper acceptation of the
word applicable to the Territories of the UnitcdStates.
They are dependencies of the United .States, and pos
aess no attributes ot independence.”
President Polk, in his last Message, said—
“Tbe people of the acquired Territories, when as
: sembled in convention to form Sts e Constitutions,
‘ have the sole and exclusive poorer to determine for
themselves whether slavery shall or ahull not exist
within their limits."
The evidence is cumulative and over
whelming, that the Democratic party, through
' hosts of its chosen leaders, has placed the
lime for deciding the slavery question sat
the formation of a State Constitution.—
W hat right lias Mr. Douglas to " inter
polate” new theories into the Democrat
ic creed. Why doea lie wish to take from
the people the right which all concede to them.

See imw Mr Duu::.'w- retoh this circular or-
I bit. Io his prefne to Neb’aska, in 1834, Mr
e Douglas says—" With a tinw <rf
their action to the settled policy of the Gov
-v ernment, sanctioned by the approving voice of
e t'rc American people, yoor committee have
deemed it their duty to incorporate and per
e petuate in their Territorial bill the principles
nnd spirit of those measures'' (of 1850).
What was one of the measures approved by
,i [ the "voice of the American people.”
< Sec. 7 of the New Mexico act of 1850, reads
thus—
u “All the laws passed by the Legislative Assembly
, and Governor shall be submitted to tbe Congress of
(• the United States, and if disapproved shall bo null
nnd of no effect.”
r It is true this provision was struck out of
* the Kansas bill, and perhaps for the obvious
, reason that it was superfluous —it having been
established by long usage that Congress could
of course repeal its own laws and unmake a
> Legislature that it made and pays.
But we proceed to show how palpably Mr.
Douglas contradicts himself.
5 This would be no ground of censure, if he
i had renounced his former opinions, but when
he promulgates two sets of opinions, and at
! j ,‘ernpts to defend them both, it shows that he
i is surrounded with a mist, andwc have a right
' to choose which of the two we prefer.
In his Harper article, Mr. Douglas clothes
i the Tei-ritorial Legislature with the robes and
I the sere.-je dignity of a Sovereign. He makes
j this daughter of the wilderness in self-com
placent p ’jde, exclaim—"l sit as a Queen.” —
■ i This is Lis language—“ The provisions of this
zket (Nebraska) are believed to be in entire
harmony with the Constitution, and under
them the people of Kansas possess every right,
privilege and immunity, in respect to their
internal polity and domestic relations, which
tbe people of Pennsylvania can exercise un
der their Constitution and laws. Each is in
vested with full, complete and exclusive pow
ers in this respect, ‘subject only to the Con
stitution of the United States.’ ” If this is so,
then the Territory is above the State, for the
I State IB subject to its own Constitution, as well
ias the Constitution of the United States. If
j this is 8", then there is one legislative body in
1 the country making laws without any standard
By which-, to test them. The laws of Congress
arc tested by the Constitution of the United
States —tlirt laws of Ohio by its Constitution,
and the la ws < f a Territory by the tcill of Con
gress and Constitution of the I nited States.
Heat Mr. Douglas on the other side ; see him
put back the diamond of sovereignty upon the '
brow f Congress. In 1856, in his Report on ,
Kansas aftliirs, Mr. Douglas said —"The sove
reigidy of a Territory remains in abeyance in
th- United States, in trust for the people, un
til they shall be admitted into the Union as a
Stat . In the meantime they are permitted
to enjoy and to exercise ail the rights and priv
ileges of self-government in subordination to
' the Constitution of the United States, and in :
obedience to the organic law passed by Con
gress in pursuance of that instr-iment. These
tights and privileges are all derived from the ’
Constitution, through the act of Congress.— '
“Obetlience,” “derived,” are queer words in [
connection with this overwhelming popular
I sovereignty. In a letter to his friends in
Philadelphia, in February, 1858, Mr. Douglas
says a “Territory is not a sovereign.” In a
report, made in tbe same month, from him- :
self as chairman of the Committee on Terri
tories, he says—“ This Committee have always |
t held that a Territory is not a sovereign pow
'i er.” In his celebrated Springfield speech he j
, said, in relation to Utah, then an organized ;
Territory—“ln my opinion the first step should j
be the absolute and unconditional repeal of
■ the organic act blotting the Territorial gocern
\ ment out of existence!!'’ AV hat sovereign
work this Senator makes with the Territories.
Whom he will ho sets up, and whom he will
he casts down. One day he wields sovereign
ty, the next, annihilation.
Error isalwaysdeviousandinconsistent; truth
is uniform, and agrees with itse’f. The key that
Judge Douglas holds will not turn in all the
wards of the Territorial relations, and he
makes a new one to suit the emergency. In
his Wooster speech, very recently made in
Ohio, he says—“l never did claim for the Ter
ritorial governments the right of confiscating
[ private property.” Yet he admits that slaves
' are property, and that this Territorial sove
reign lias the right to emancipate them. What
[is that but confiscation? "I will not hurt
thee,” said tbe Quaker to the would-be robber,
“but I will hold thee under water till thy
breath departs from thy body.” Judge Dou
glas will not confiscate private property, but
curs the cord that holds the slave and lets him
go when and where he pleases. This is keen
ing tbe promise to the ear and breaking it to
the hope. It is downright mockery to tell the
slave-holders they have equal rights in the
Territories, and the next day give arms to a
power that can expel them. They go to tbe
Territories as other pioneers to protect them
selves and their property as their propertv as
other citizens go from other States. They ask
no special legislation in their favor, they deny
the right to single them or their property out
for exclusion. They are right. Time and re
flection will bring all men to justify their pos
ition.
•
' It is the misfortune of the position of Judge
Douglas, that it has a sectional aspect. It
would have tested his theory just as well had
he selected an article of property common to
- all the States, and then insisted that his Ter
ritorial Legislature had the right to exclude
t i this from its borders. He says that all prop
j erty is alike, slaves and horses. Why not then
mount an anti-horse theory as well as an anti-
1 ■ slavery dogma? The whole tendency of his
u demonstration is to give intensity to the ex
t | ciiement on the subject of slavery, both North
- i and South. Tbe South are united, almost to
- . a man, against him, while sectional party at
- the North praise and urge him on The Dem
» oeratic party want no such issues that party
i. j is entirely national, spreading its broad, gio-
rious, and time-honored heuner from lake to
>- gulf, and from ocean to ocean. Why disturb

j If the South, with ho large an immigration, ai
an early day, of barbarians from Africa, have
l led them up to a point ofcivilizatii n never bc-
I fore known in their history—if the white race
has there reached points ot cultivation and
refinement not surpassed on this continent; it
they contril ute their full proportion to tho na
tional wealth and wisdom ; if they have main
tained their institutions and defended them
with singular and successful ability against a
world of tongues and pens in arms against
them; if they only ask for equal and exact jus
tice, why not give them a day of rest and
peace? What spot of earth will they seize
that they do not now possess? Point to the
section or quarter section on which the ques
tion has now a practical bearing. It is like
an imaginary line drawn across the heavens ;
it does not touch the moon, nor quench the
light of a single star. But to the Smith it is
the base line of their defence. Once admit
that Congress may create or recognize a pow
er, under its own control, that can make a
distinction in favor ot the North, as against
the South, and the gate is open for the de
struction of society in fifteen States. Upon
the same plane, white and black will not trav
el tho road of industry and civilization.
Mr. Douglas ought to take warning by the
footsteps of those who have gone before him.
Which of all the men who have taken a sec
tional issue w th the Democratic party has
not gone out of it, and enlisted in the ranks of
the many-colored opposition ? AV here are
Hale, Bunks, Culver, Chase, AVentworth, anil
a host of others? But whatever may be the
course of Mr. Douglas, the path of the Demo
cratic party is plain anil clear. The trees are
blazed by sixty years of almost uninterrupted
success. This party has conquered and pros
per d, because it was eminently a national
party. Its altars are all national, neither sec
tional nor individual. On its altars of princi
nle. patriotism, anti fidelity to the Constitu
tion, many an ambitious hero has bled, but
the party has swept onward in "’■eater force
and strength ; and far better that a thousand
more of its leaders, who break trom the column
in the line of march, should be offered up 1 t
these altars, than they should be overturned
and the Temple of Disunion be raised upon
their ruins.
AVe sincerolv nope Mr. Douglas will rep- •
and do his frst works.

FOR THE HAIR.
IN presenting the Balm of Savannah to the public,
the proprietor does so without any of the hesita
tion attending the introduction ot a new ami untried
article, for it has been fifteen years before the public,
and each year has added to its popularity. The de
mand for it having increased so far beyond my pre
vious facilities fir its manufacture, the proprietor has
recently completed arrangements for producing on a
more extensive scale, and at the same time, adding
to its former excellence, by the result of a long prac
tical experience in its use. The following vouchers
from gentlemen well known to the community attest
their estimation of the article :
Savannah, August 3, 1858.
J/r. J. J/. Haywood, Agent.— l cheerfully comply
with my promise to give you my opinion or the mer
its of your Bahn of Savannah. After using it for
some two years, I am prepared to speak from experi
ence, and d«» not hesitate to pronounce it the bes- pre
paration for the hair that 1 have ever used. I tried
many remedies, which had been recommended to me,
with benefit, until I made a trial of your Buim. which
not only removed the dandruff, but kept my head
free from it, at the same time stimulating the growth
of the hair and imparling to if a healthy appearance.
I have recommended it to my friends, similar!v afflict
ed, who. in every inslance. experienced similat ben
efit from its use. I esteem it a pleasant and conve
nient article for dressing the hair, posses* ng most
of the virtues claims.l for the popular cosim iics<. the
day, with none of their del« teriuus qualities I feel
confident that it only needs to be known to the public
to become universally popular.
V’erv Respectfully Yours,
W. T T/ZOMSCN,
Editor of the Savannah Morning News.
Macon, Ga , July 24, 1858.
Mr. J. M. Haywood, Agent. Dear Sir’:—lt ail rd»
me much pleasure to bear testimony to the excellence
of your Balm of Savannah, which I have no hesita
tion in pronouncing superior to any other preparation
for the hair that I have ever used. ft not only
cleauFes, •often* and invigorates the hair, but it re
move* dandruff, and keep* the scalp clean and heal
thy. It i* convenient and pleasant for toilet use,
while it possesses medicinal qualities, that cannot
fad to recommend it Io all who make atnal of it. tor
sometime I bare used it in my family, who are now
