THE CAROLINA STAND AltD: f WEDNESDAY SEPT? 20, 1858; - II I fi 4 1 3 if I A'COJIPROMISB IN JEOPARDY QUESTIONS FOR TBS DEMOCRACY, TO ANSWER., v Until wj recently we had upposed it to be to sincere wish of every true Democrat of every troe ' patriot that the question of slavery in the Territo ries should be definitely settled. By the Republi cans it has been claimed that Congress may exercise ; all power over the vabject. The Democracy, on the other hand, while they hare denied that Congress posseBS&'any authority over slavery in the Territo ' ries, and have admitted (hat the people thereof are clothed by the Constitution with all-needful power in the premises, nave nevertheless been divided in -opinion m regard to the time when that power may be exercised for or against slavery. One section of our party have claimed that, by virtue of the federal compact, the Territories being held in joint tenancy by the States, all property recognised by any mem ber of the confederacy must be protected by the several territorial governments ; that the citizen claiming such property has a right to demand pro tection for it, and that there is no power in the local Authorities to withhold it These men maintained, and with irresistible truth and fairness, that the Ter ritories are. held as the joint estates of all the mem bers of tfri- Union ; that the governments thereof o bo cwthed with no authority which shall be in conflict with the rights of the people of the States, respectively. Otherwise they assert that territorial governments, instead of representing State sovereign ties, as they should, in order to be in harmony with our system, would be independent political commu nities, and have the right, as such, to proscribe the , very authority under which they act In other words, the States, by virtue or tne constitution, have empowered the people of the Territories to es tablish temporary governments and authorized them therein to exercise legislative powers, in conjunction with a presiding officer appointed by the President Now, it has been contended by a large portion of the Democratic party that the local governments thus created cannot so act aato impair the rights of the citizens of the States who, through their representa tives, created those governments. Another interest of the Democratic party have -maintained, that slavery could only exist by the au thority of the local law or the law of the place ; and .that it was perfectly competent for the territorial governments to ordain or prohibit that institution, as the legislative power might determine. These per sons argued that, with reference to all matters ap pertaining to the government of the States such as relate to guardian and ward, marriage and divoree, parent and child, the descent of estates, the punish ment of crime, and various other affairs of the civil administtation, including slavery and apprentice shipthe territorial government possessed exclusive powers of legislation. When the Kansas-Nebraska bill was enacted these two -divisions of the Democratic party found them selves face to face. The first-named desired, of course, that the bill should specifically restrict the legislature to the exercise only of such powers as would not be in conflict with the rights of the citi zens of the several States, with distinct reference to what by the laws thereof was recognised as proper ty. The opposite interest maintained that such lim itation was unconstitutional, and that the people of the Territory under the government proposed to be created had the exclusive right to declare therein what should be held as property, and what should be recognised as such. Both parties, however, con curred in the judgment that the real question in dis pute between them was one of a strictly legal na ture, and that, its decision should be left to the Su preme Court of the United States. In this view a compromise was readily agreed upon, that the act should be passed conferring general legislative pow ers, "subject only to the Constitution of the United States." We do not contend that the limitation thus verbally reserved in the bill could affect the question of constitutional power conferred upon the territorial legislature. By no means. - Yet, never theless, it was the express basis of the compromise the issue, if you please, put upon the record, to be tried and decided by the Supreme Court of the Uni ted States. Now, let us see what that court subsequently de cided t We auote from Chief Justice Taney, speak ing for the majority and finally, and thus placing thftmatter above and beyond the power of judicial control. After maintaining, in an elaborate argu ment, that Congress possesses no power to legislate on the subject of slavery, and declaring the Missour ri Compromise unconstitutional, he proceeds : "If Congress itself cannot do this if it is beyond the powers conferred on the federal government it will be admitted, we presume, that it could not au thorize a territorial government to exercise them. It could confer no power on any local government, established by its authorty, to violate the provisions of the constitution. And if the constitution recognises the right of property of the master in a slave, and makes no distinction between that description of property and other property owned by a citizen, no tribunal, act ing under the authority of the United States, wheth er legislative executive, or judicial, has a light to ilraw such a distinction, or deny to it the benefit of the provisions and guarantees which have been pro vided for the protection of private property against the encroachment of the government." We have, then, the decision of the court upon the great question which divided the democracy on the occasion of the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska act. The powers conferred upon the territorial legisla ture extending to " all rightful subjects of legisla tion," the courts decides, did not embrace that of slavery. When the people of that place come to organize their State government preparatory to ad mission into the Union, they then for the first time assume to themselves the functions of sovere ignty, .and may exercise over the matter of slavery abso lute jurisdiction and power, except with reference to the surrender of fugitives, which is guarantied under another provision of the constitution. .... Now, we desire to present' this matter thus dis tinctly, and we trust clearly, to the democracy of the Union, and to ask them whether or not they are prepared to adopt the decision of the Supreme ' Court as the basis of a settlement of the whole sla very question in its application to the Territories or not ? . Are the people of the South willing to sur render this final judgment of the matter and again plunge into another great controversy with the re publicans and trimmers of the democratic party? Are the democracy, North and South, East and West, willing to re-open the whole subject of slave ry in Congress, in Kansas, and everywhere, by re pudiating the Dred Scott decision and again falling back upon the opinions which prevailed when the Kansas bill was under discussion? Have we not yet been sufficiently weakened, demoralized, and broken in the North that we must court another en counter, and be compelled through series of years to opbold and maintain our constitutional opinions and meet another emevte of fanaticism, demagogue ism, and folly J ' 66 Who; then, are the parties who are. now conniv ing and confederating together for the purpose of wbitling down the Dred Scot decision, and commit ting the democratic party to the wicked policy of again fighting over our territorial battles ?

Nor was he unobservant of small matters. It has been said that great minds are not only coroprehen-j sive In their grasp, but "discriminating v in details. Of this there was an. illustration in the case of a certain naval officer, -who had been cashiered for malpractices at some of the foreign stations. See ing this man one day in a pitiable plight, forlorn and dejected under his disgrace, and feeling deeply for his fau.ilyV hoping also that a re examination of his case might establish his innocence, I sought his res toration. I waited on the Present, and laid the case before him. I was surprised at the knowledge of this individual case he displayed amid a crowd of more important matters. "Why, Sir," sail he, " this man cheated the sailors repeatedly by charg ing enormous profits in disbursing the public mo ney;" and went on to tell how he did it, with mar vellous circumstantiality. Of course this was not to be contradicted. I therefore saw my only hope was to throw the case upon the mercy of the judge. I acknowledged the justice of the sentence, that the President must be better acquainted with the case than I could presume to be, but from my heart I pitied the suffering, destitute family of the accused, and hoped the virtue of clemency might be tried in his case, as it would relieve a whole household, in which there was now nothing but darkness and des pair. The heart of the stern old hero relented. I .

Nor was the Oura so obstinately inflexi ble, right or wrong. I rave "seen him convinced against his will, which was said to have so much ' iron in its composition, and as the result, make a frank and handsome apology, and that, too, after the indulgence of some pretty " high words." Yet there is no doubt he was a " good hater," such as Byron would have loved, and drawn saliently witb his pencil. He had noi ntermediate qualities. He was a "for or against" man, and never sailed under false colors. Woe to Brigham Young, if he had fallen into his hands. At church be was a regular attendant every Sabbath morning. The simplicity and hardi hood of the camp seemed carried into the very church, for years he sat in an uncushioned pew, lis tening with profound attention to the preaching, which was most direct, definite, and telling upon the conscience. He liked to see sins marked distinctly, and held up to the execration of the soul. Perhaps it was because he knew so much of the wickedness of duelling, that he commended, and even rewarded the preacher, who in his presence came down upon the practice with great severity. The truth is, pos sessed of moral courage himself, he admired it in others, and deeply felt that in no field is it more im peratively required, than in that of the ministry of reconciliation. Two things attracted him, childhood and beauty. This is common to a brave soldier. I have seen him stoop with a kind of paternal enthusiasm to kiss a little child, as if the act awakened some of the most genial sympathies of his nature. Then, too, I have seen him rise from his scat, and receive with gallant affability a young lady, to whom an admiring lover could scarcely pay more devoted attention. All know the high estimation in which he held his wife her person while living her memory when dead. It was her high moral qualities that ruled his heart To the last hour of his life, it turned to her image with the fondest enthusiasm. No measure of ambition quenched it No multiplicity of State cares impaired it Amid the fiercest political storms, it was the solace of his souL. Now a man in whose moral constitution such elements as these prevailed, could not go far astray in any sphere in which he might be placed, especially if he habitually recog nized the necessity and reality of a superintending providence. But more than this, be reposed an un wavering faith on the strong, the sustaining, the productive doctrines of the bible. None of its troths gave forth aliment too strong for .his meditation and digestion. None of its characters were too salient for his taste. Joshua, Job, Gideon, and every bold soldier of the chosen people, inspired him with fresh admiration. Cromwell could dare nothing which he could not He would have reached his arm across the seas to shake hands with Havelock. In a great crisis, how invaluable such a man ! Let us not for get how much be loved the union ot the states, how sternlv he frowned on all attempts to locsen that sacred bond, how emphatically he uttered his mem- j orable 'must' in the assembly ot the leading spirits of the land, how fervently he prayed, to the last, tor that great conservation. The voice of the patriot speaks from the tomb! Let the people heed it Let no daring uiaunionist insult the shades 01 the departed, by breathing the whisper of such treason 1 Use Plenty of Gravy. Dr. Dixon, in a late number of the Scalpel, in an article on ' Diet," as sumes the position that the " use of oil would de crease the victims of consumption nine-tenths, and that this is the whole secret of the use of cod liver oil," and quotes the following summary observations on this subject, made by Dr. Hooker : Of all the persons between the ages of fifteen and twenty-two years, more than one fifth eat no fat meat Of persons at the age of forty-five, all, excepting less than one in fifty, habitually use fat meat. Of persons who, between the ages of fifteen and twenty-two, avoid fat meat, a few acquire an appe tite ior it, and live to a good old age, while the great er portion die with phthisic before thirty-five. Of persons dying with phthisic, between the ages of twelve and forty-five, nine-tenths, at least, have never used fat meat Most individuals who avoid fat meat, also use lit tle butter or oily gravies; though compensate for this want in part at least, by a free use of those ar ticles, and also milk and eggs and various sacharine substances. But they constitute an imperfect sub stitute for fat meat, without which, sooner or later, the body is almost sure to show the effects of defi cient calorification. The Roman Catholic Priests against Celibacy. An extraordinary memorial has been addressed by 507 Austrian priests to the author of the Concordat, the Cardinal Prince Archbishop of Vienna. In this document, the lower Catholic clergy put forth their grievances in language the like of which has not been heard since the days of the Reformation. Among the demands is one for the abolition of celibacy, on the ground that the impossibility of entering into the marriage state renders the priest the victim of sus picions, of sneering and contempt, and produces laxity amongst the clergy, thus rendering them con tributors to the moral dissolution which is invading even the popular classes. In conclusion the peti tioners demand that "such reforms should be intro duced as to make the lower clergy no longer appear in the odious light of oppressors of the poorer classes; and that the priests, by the abolition of the law of celibacy, should be restored to the common ties of family and humanity. If this is not done," they assert, " all our influence will entirely disap pear; the Catholic religion will be despised, hierar chy be totally overthrown, and the State become the foot-ball of ceaseless attacks and complications." They express, too, the significant hope that they may not be driven to expect their safety from the revolutionary party. JUT. T. Post. ' SsHSB. A rough common sense pervades the fol lowing, in which there is certainly more truth than poetry: )'. ... ; . "Great men never swell. It is only three cent individuals, who are salaried at the rate of two hun dred dollars a year and dine on potatoes and dried herrings, who put on airs and flashy waistcoats, swell, puff, blow, and endeavor to give themselves a consequential appearance. No discriminating per son can ever mistake the spurious for the genuine artiele. The difference between the two is as great as that between a bottle of vinegar and a bottle of pure juice of the grape." JukJE&toiAVt ort flf th vCLorDS. We have 1 learned full particulars 01 -the balloon ascension at; "Adrian oir Thursday, its subsequent descent, and if Second aseensfoS), and rbn away with the" aeronaut Owbile beyond hi ontroC,f',"It Ts-a brief narrative,-' but of thrilling interest A man loBt in- the" sky I f There can scarcely be a more terrible thought; it .makes the flesh creep, and sends a shudder through every nervel : -; ifn. tn" ' " . The first ascension' took placebout !9 o'clock in the morning." It was on the occasion of a large Sun day School celebration at Adrian. The balloon was "sery large and welT-conrtructed one, being about the height of a two-story building when inflated and ready to-out loose : from its fastenings. Messrs. Bannister and Thuiston took seats in the car attach ed to the balloon; and ascended safely and steadily. After remaining about forty minutes in the air, sail ing towards Toledo all the time, they alighted in the woods in the town of Riga, Lenawee county, near Knight's Station, on the Southern road, distant about .eighteen miles west of Toledo. Several men came to the assistance of the adventurers, and they pro ceeded to prepare the balloon for packing, to be taken back to Adrian. In doing this the monster balloon was turned over and partially upside down to disentangle the netting and to reach the valve. To do this, Mr. Ira Thurs ton, one of the aeronauts, took off his coat and got astride of the valve block. He then suggested that the car be detached from the balloon while he should hold it down with his weight This proved a fear ful calculation, for no sooner was the still inflated body relieved of the weight of the car than it shot into the air with the suddenness of a rocket, taking Mr. Thurston along with it, seated upon the valve of the balloon, and holding on to the collapsed silk of the air-ship in that portion of its bulk! In this per fectly helpless condition the ill-fated " man sped straight into the sky in the full sight of his compan ions, even more helpless than himself. So far as is known, there were no possible means for him to se cure his descent, whether safe or otherwise. The J pari ui 1 lie uaiiuuu iiueu nun gun na iuii incite feet above him, so that there was no chance for him to cut its sides and allow the gas to escape. He could only cling to his precarious hold and go whith ersoever the currents of air should take him. Without regulation or contiol of any kind the bal loon continued to mount upward, sailing off in the direction of this city and Lake Erie. The fatal as cension took place about 11 o'clock, and a few min utes past noon it was seen in the town of Iilissfield, in Lennwee county, apparently full three miles high, and about the size of a star in appearance. It was still going up and on. At a quarter past one o'clock it was last dimly visible going in the direction of Maiden, ascertained by compaes bearings taken by parties observing it What is his exact fate baffles conjecture; but that it is horrible, almost beyond precedent, there can be no doubt. There is not one chance in a million for a successful escape. Whether the unfortunate man was carried up so high as to become benumbed and senseless, death ensuing or whether he fell off at length from his tremendous altitude, to have his breath sucked from him in his fearful descent, and to be sunk in the lake, or dashed into a shapeless mass upon the earth, it is doubtful if any save God will ever know. The mind stands appalled in con templating this fearful disaster, and blindly gropes in mazes of wonder at where his place of sepulchre shall be. Mr. Thurston was an experienced balloonist, hav ing built several, and this being his thirty-seventh ascension. He was formerly a resident in the vicin ity of Lima and Rochester, in western New York, but has latterly resided in Adrian, where he was ex tensively engaged in business as a nurseryman. He was a widower, having lost his wife last winter. He leaves an interesting daughter, about 17 years of age, to mourn her father's unknown, terrible fate. Detroit Tribune.

A French music teacher, who for some months past has been giving music lessons to two young ladies, daughters of a gentleman residing in the Fifteenth Ward, was severely cowhided by a party of young gents on Thursday evening, for making love to one of the young ladies and attempting to run away -with her, he being a man upward of fifty years of age and the possessor of a wife and several children. It appears that he had fallen violently in love with the cider of the ladies who, to amuse herself, allowed him to express his sentiments ; but the younger wrote a note to him to which she signed her sister's name, and stated that ahe reciprocated his attach ment, and if he would provide a carriage and have it at the corner of Green and Bleecker streets, at eight o'clock in the evening, she would elope with him. The Frenchman, highly pleased with the arrange ment, appeared at the appointed time and place, but was there met by some gentlemen whom the younger sister had made acquainted with the cir cumstances, dragged out of the carriage, and sound ly castigated with cowhides until he begged loudly for mercy. He was then delivered to a policeman who took him to the Station Houset where he told the Captain that he was a single man and intended to marry the girl, and as no one appeared against him he was discharged. The father of the girls called soon after and gave the facts of the case. The gal lant Frenchman was Superintendent of the Sunday School children who was present at the laying of the corner-stone of St Patrick s Cathedral a short time since. New York paper.

Legytr'e.A is .ys : Zi An examination of those estimates toi which toe - Administration is responsible exhibits the fact that Jbe Government wouidjf . confined to them, be con- ducted upon a ibasisfhf "the strictest economy. The increase of expenditure,' about,-. which so much has been said, is limited to three sources : ' 1st, the ex penses of the Army ; 2d, the increase of the Navy ; and; d," the expense of the Post Office Department ' A word upon each of these points': The increased expense of the army was occasioned, as every one knows, by the Utah war, and our Indians troubles. Not only was the deficiency provided for at the late session created in this war, but the increase in the regular annual estimates was required to meet these contingencies. ; 2nd. The increase in the expense of the Navy ari ses from the amount expended in the construction of hew vessels, and in giving additional strength to th:s arm of the public defence. - There is not an individu al throughout the country a ho does not fee! that the number and efficiency of the Navy is wholly dispro portionate to our commercial interests and national importance. Let those who desire a smaller and less efficient Navy complain of those expenditures. Srd. The increased expenses of the Post Office De partment. Two causes have produced this result, to wit: the reduction of postage and the increased mail facilities afforded to the country. If those who com tplain of the expenditures of the Government as es i ma ted for by the Administration, desire retrench ment and reforms in this Department, the remedy is . a plain one either increase the postage or reduce the mail facilities." The Necessity of Exercise The benefits of ex ercise to those whose occupation does not lead them to make any physical exertion cannot be too highly estimated. The body must undergo a certain amount of fatigue to preserve its natural strength, and main tain all the muscles and organs in proper vigour. This activity equalizes the circulation, and distri butes the blood more effectually through every part. Cold feet or a ch'll anywhere, shows that the circu lation is languid there. The muscles during exer cise press on the veins, and help forward the cur rents by quickening every vessel into activity. The valves of the heart are in this way aided in the work of sending on this stream, and relieved of a certain amount of labour. When exercise is neglected, the blood gathers too much about this central re gion, and the oppression about the heart, difficulty of breathing, lowness of spirits, anxiety and heavi ness, numerous aches and stitches, are evidence of this stagnation. People are afraid to take exercise, because they fancy they want breath, and feel weak ; but the very effort would free the heart from this burden, by urging the blood forward to the extrem ities. It would ease their breathing, by libeiating the lungs from the same super abundance ; it would make the frame feel active and light, as the effect of equalized circulation and free action.
