bring up the percussion caps, as we stated
in our last, and were obliged to lie over

And again the report of Indians in Sierra
Valley caused the Rifles to make their way
cautiously, thereby losing considerable time.
The Placerville Democrat very adroitly parades the fact that the Placerville company
had arrived on Wednesday night at Genoa,
and the Nevada Rifles had not arrived
twenty-four hours after. The Democrat with
equal propriety may state that the Nevada
Rifles have not arrived, in its dog-days issues

City to Nevada in 12 heurs ; and in order to
save time and travel, every place on the
route where the road can be shortencd
without toe much expense, has been examined and well atteuded to. Two miles are
saved at Humbug, thus reducing the distance from Nevada to Eureka to 22 miles.— .
In going from Eureka to Maples’ Ranch a}
saving of full two miles is effected by leavying Jackson’s to the left, reducing the dis}
tance from Eureka to Maples’ to 23 miles.
Another cut off is made between O’Neal’s
Raneh and Virginia City of 4 miles by leaying Stout’s bridge to the left and crossing
the Truckee higher up. This reduces the
distance between the places named to 21
miles. Where stations areneeded measures

and that if the election is thrown into the} the comprehension of our neighbor.
by the Democratic party in 1856, is that the
people of the Territories should be left free to
settle the question of slavery to suit themselves
—cither to establish or exclude it, according to
their own interests or inclinations. Against this
doctrine we find arrayed two section Pparties—
one claiming that slavery is a relic of barbarism
and should be excluded by Congress from the
Territories ; the other that slavery is a national
institution, and whenever the Territorial Legislatures refuse or fail to pass laws protecting
property in slaves, that such protection should
be afforded by Congressional enaetments. These
positions are well defined, radically differ from
each other, and are the leading political issues
of the day. Every intelligent man who has an
opinion of his own must have made up his mind
which of these doctrines to support. The editor
of the Journal has, over and over again, denounced the popular sovereignty doctrine of
Douglas, and must of necessity be in favor, either
of prohibiting or protecting slavery in the Territories, by acts of Congress, but we are entirely
in the dark as to which of these doctrines he
favors.”
In the first place we deny, and shall prove.
that we are not forced to take one of three
positions. There is another position or two
that can be taken. In stating the Douglas
doctrine the Democrat uses those general
terms calculated to catch the ear of the ignorant and mislead. It does not state when
the people are to settle the question of slavery for themselves—whether on forming a
State Constitution or before in their social
capacity. On this point the locofocos are
divided. If the people can only act definitively on the slavery question when they
come to form a State Constitution, the blow
about popular sovereignty and “ Douglas’
Douglas or his “doctrine” was thought of.
as interdicting this right north of 36 degrees 30 minutes north latitude. It isofno
j avail, for your own great leader has often .
; said nature had set an insuperable barrier .
against slavery north of that line. What
has been gained then, by the repeal of that
line but a barren, utterly barren, principle?
South of the line popular sovereignty prevailed by ‘the sufferance of the American
government. North of the line by virtue
of climate. Have you anything better, or
has Douglas assisted nature?
On the other hand, taking up the view of
the other division of the party, that the
people in their social or Territorial condition can exclude slavery, we ask, as we
have asked before without an answer, what
becomes of the right, which Douglas acknowledges, of a slaveholder to take his
property into any Territory acquired by the
common blood and treasure of all the States?
In other words, will somebody, since the
Democrat will not, unfold to us the beauties
in the man Douglas and his doctrines, who
holder, ‘take your slaves to Kansas, old
fellow; itis aright purchased with your
money and blood ;” and then bending over
to the people of the Territory, whispers—
his eyes all the time on the migrating slaveholder and thumb on the nasal protuberance——‘ if hecomes you have the right to
kick his d—n niggers out.” Intelligent
Americans! this is popular sovereignty.—

relative to the doctrines of the two other
parties—doctrines which it pretends to set
forth above. If we have not during the
past five years clearly made known our
views, we can hardly hope to do so now to
But
we can make our views plain to every intelligent man who has a mind of his own.
We do not endorse any of the doctrines
as set forth by the Democrat, and we shall
show, notwithstanding the dogmatism of our
neighbor, that there is another tenable po. sition; and if it benot tenable we challenge
. the press to showit up. The Douglas view
of popular sovereignty we have exposed already. Of the Republican platform of 1856,
we do not endorse a plank which if our
memory be correct reads as follows:

Nothing very remarkable accured to the
. party of Americans till they arrived within
four miles of Pyramid Lake and within
sight of it. Indian signs had been discovered all along, but now scouts were sent
out who returned and reported having seen
;two Indians. Orders were given to secure
jthe two as prisoners if possible. In following them the scouts came upon a body
of 150 Indians drawn up for a fight, all

. Americans proceeded in full view of the
Indians to within 800 yards of them. A
chief on horseback, had in his hand what
was at first srpposed to be a white flag,
but which on examination through the telescope of a rifle, proved to be a battle-ax ?
which gleamed in the sun lightas he rode
backwards and forwards in front of his
men. The chief with the ax was fired on
by order of Major Ormsby. The Indians
advanced, jumped from their horses and
fired. The Americans seeing two hundred
other Indians on foot, made for a cluster
of trees. The firing then became general.

Tuat Battie Ax.—The statement of a
battle ax being waved by an Indian at the
battle of Pyramid Lake is believed by none
but the most credulous. Who made that
terrible instrument, who sold it to the Indians, and when? are questions yet to be
answered. There is a strong color of truth
to the statement that the whites fired on a
flag of truce and were punished in consequence.
Tse Poor Inpian.—The numerous Californiars who have rushed over the Sierra
with arms for the supposed protection of
their silver hunting brethren, are probcbly
not to be satisfied but with a taste of Indian
blood. The Indians, right or wrong, must
fecl the force of American arms. Instead of
investigating the causes which have led to a
misunderstanding between the whites and
rendering justice where it is due, no doubt
Young America will be anxious to lap a
little Aboriginal blood first. We are to
hear of war parties and alarms during the

which to judge the future.

scratch and reconcile the incongruities of
the Douglas doctrine, but still presists in
declaring its party leader the greatest man

he must be the smartest fellow in the world
—in which we cordially concur.
