Our intended notice of the leader of the Jefferftdnian of the 17th inst., did not appear last week, owing to the disturbance occasioned by the fire, which threatened to leave standing but little else of the Palladium than the memory of where we had been. There are some things, however, in that leader, which we are not willing should pass unnoticed, although thefceathing reply of the Democrat leaves hardly anything of the article itself, and but rittle more than a hair of ita ostensible author's head to operate upon. It charges the opponents of the Kansas and Nebraska bill with dealing in bombast, while upon . the issue of right respecting the measure, it defies controversy. It is truly wonderful with what urgency and sclf-eonfidcnet? an absurdity may be supported. If a school-boy were to declare that twice two make three, and charge bombant upon his playmate because he insisted that twice two make your, he would bo in a position precisely similar to that occupied by the editor of the Jeffersonian. We have no hesitancy in declaring that there has never been, in or out of Congress, a single argument adduced in support of that part of the Kansas bill which reiH-als the Missouri Compromise, that will stand a half hours' exercise of common sense, saying nothing about enlightened, cultivated reason. And yet the Jeffersonian has the hardihood to defy controversy. Defy controversy, forsooth! when every defence of this measure has been ground absolutely into powder, by overwhelming arguments that hrand it, beyond all question, as an infamy uncalled for, and indefensible. And the readers of our neighbor's article will search in vain for anything to support or justify the Douglas bill. Did anv nortion of the neonlt- r( thi - . Uoa demand it? No, and no one will offer such 1 j j - j c m pretence. Was it needetl? No, for neither of , ' the territories contained any lawful inhabitants who were citizens of the L nited States. Was it in accordance with the assurances and the pledged faith of the party in power? No, but in direct opposition thereunto. A Democratic 'House of Representatives, in '51, resolved to abide by the established Compromises, and deprecated all future airitAlion of iHo ihtuI t .! e - - .ccuvn ''c- ' wm." The last n''rAt!,- i W-ffltiWrt dlrTCTWr t Baltimore, declared, "That the Democratic rt 'U t all attempts at renewing in Con-! party will rcsis p ...

cwuceuvu mu J -s veloped swiodle! A bastard in no wise se leitiaato either by the laws of God or Alan: ' The article we are noticing says: U "The case is simply this: Congress has passed "a law for the organization of Nebraska and Kansas territories. Ia reviewing the history of the past, and looking forward to the prospects of the future, they have determined that the mere locality of any citizen of the United States, does not in any wise impair his right to pass upon the character of the government under which he lives or, in the language of the Declaration of Independency the right to "lite, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Hence they have said in the Nebraska bill, that whether a man resides in a State or in a territory, he is still entitled to all rights and privileges of other citizens." , lofliwk the Democrat pungently replies: -. "If this is aa emanation from the-ry wliTht . . -i, . . .r-Ttfiarsaier" only hjF&H certainly has kytheUluminated to tell 7 jw tb c-eB8 of the tern- ? i ttP- " t, and prrvileges as the ?ry Kat.e-.nd it men, this if any-eit-tt-it w untrue, as he must well know if he 3 ?! TLtl?L WL I not true, ere, that the ! f mBoothe caaracter oi u wirjnnn-Bi int baa withheld ibis right from the people. It ' jbsassamed it itself, and has passed a law to orf ;-4, the cfOTernment. which prescribes its character." This act, as Mr. Elder knows, - withholds from the people some of the most im--twrtaat rights enioyed by citixens of a Sute. Tbnj bars bo vote ia tke election of a Goreni-

. wbo i branch of the Legislative departir.ent, nor of the Judges who are to interpret the law and decide upon the rights of the people.

This i3 a fair specimen of the sovereignty of the people recognized by the new school Democracy, into which the new light has led friend Eld3Vw The only sovereignty it woald give the people is 'the privilege of making slaves. So far, indeed, 'is it from being true that "Congress has deter'mined that the locality of a citizen dues not impair his right to life, liberty and the pursuit of 'happiness," the very law guaranteeing this righ 'in the territories, was repealed by this bill." ; And we may add to this, that a Legi!aU i Council is to be elected by the people; but this bill declares who of the people shall u'c. Not. j every free White man read it freemen though ever so intelligent though ever so well qualified to exercise the elective franchise though hating enjoyed that privilege in the States of the Union, not even he can vote until he has submitted to this provision of the Nebraska bill. Place upon 't your own interpretation; "That the right of suffrage and of holding office shall be exercised only by citizens of the United JStates and those who have declared their intention to become such, and shall have taken an oath to support the Constitution of the United 8tates, and the provisions of this act." This is popular sovereignty for you! The citizen of Kansas is free, ah! yes, free to bow his' neck to the yoke his master has made for him! He is free! the President has graciously appointed a Governor to ru!e him, Judges to expound the law for him, a Secretary to record his acts, and an Attorney to plead his cause, and he is free to do as he is bid! At an appointed place nnd time, he may, so the condescending Con- . gress has kindly vouchsafed, vote for members of the Legislature, who are to hold th.-ir offices in manner and time as provided in tl ishili! Oh! yes, the citizen of Kansas is free, for at a suitab'e time he may vote to establish slavery, and bind his fellow-Worms in chains! Most heavenly prerogative of a gracious Democrat- ! How it loves the .people- how free it makes them.' The legislature, too, when elected, may pass certain laws, but then there are other laws which it ihall not -pass, and that legislature is mercifully permitted : to obey! For instance, it may not tax non-residents higher than residents. Oh! yes, citizens of Nebraska! ye ate sovereigns nevertheless, the will of a majority of you must be subservient to the will of your Executive, who receives his appointment at the hands of the President! Postmasters are allowed to become members of the Legislature. These are appointed by Mr. . Pierce, or his Catholic head of the Post Ofliee Department, Mr. Campbell. Members of the first Legislative Assembly may hold or be appointed to offices which have been created, or the salaiy or emoluments of w hich have been ncreased, during their mtmbershij! There seems to be a fine opportunity for bribery and corrup tion in these provisions; and it is not to be believed that the people, by the exercise of their own ' untrammeled wills, and in the plenitude t f that sovereignty which is so much harped about, would establish them. But, says Elder, "It is not a question of slavery and liberty." "It is not whether slavery will ever be established in I j ... , V9WXSii aunu'' l" y - lloPe that thls PTe(llc,,on may Prove correct.
