-Jt is said that Missouri wQI pay her Janu
ary interest. If she has been able to borrow I
money enough in the matfcel.to doso, she jrill»
Butit is as certain as any fliture event' that the
<lay is not Ctr distant when sho will suspend
payment of interest on the load of debt that
«b& isnowcsnylng. That debt soon will be
thirty millions of dollars, for which she will
liavo a few lines of railroads that hardly pay
running expenses,• and-some hundreds of thou
sands ot' acres of land that has no settled and
determinate value, a large part of which might,
only a half .dozen years ago, have been bought
ai prices ranging, under tho graduation act,
at 121-2 to 75 cts. peracre.
IT the .Legislature of Illinois were to-day in
session, it would be tho imperative duty of
thpt body to pass a law depriving the bankers
ot the right to use Missouri bonds at any price
over . thirty .ceats on a dollar, as security for
their circulating notes; but as such a law is
impossible until ayear elapse b, the bankers
themselves must have some combined action
for the purpose of compelling the withdrawal
of such of these securities aa are in the Bonk
Departments of the two States, because a fail
tire on the part of Missouri to meet her obli
gations'-would make a third part of the notes
of Illinois and "Wisconsin banks but liltlo bet
ter in the hands of the people than so many
hmp rags.
"We hope that we are mistaken, and that the
financial condition of our neighbor-State is not
as desperate as .we believe it to bo ; but with
the experience of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan,
Arkansas, Pennsylvania, and Minnesota frcth
in memonywe should flo violence io'the in
terests which our readers hove in the matter
that we discuss, if we did not warn them of :
the approaching atofm.. Illinois was once beg
gared by her own folly and improvidence. If
we can prevent it, wo do not mean that she
shall again be prostrated by like folly and im
providence in any other Slate. We entreat
onr bankers, then, who are using Missouri
stocks as the basis of their operations, to lose
no time in making the change in their securi
ties yhich common prudence requires. If we
are aU wrong; if Missouri is as solvent as H
lino".s; if the wisdom of her Legislature is
proved by remunerative dividendson the roads
which she has built; and if her future debt
paying ability destroys our reputation as
prophets of evil, nothing will be lost by the
change which we recommend. This is ft fa
vorable .time for its accomplishment Our
warning will be construed to be an attack upon
iHssouri credit; and the financiers and public
journals in her interest will defend. They may
convix.ce capitalists that as Missouri has paid,
Fho will continue to pay. If so, our advico to
all Illinois holders of her bonds may be com
pressed into one word, and that is—Sell!
THE NEW THEOBT.
We boar but little as yet ol the new theory
of States Rights, in accordance with which Mr.
Postmaster General Holt's instructions to Ms
deputies in tbe Post Offices of the South, were
conceived. That theory, as our readers well
know, by giving Suite Legislatures the right
ca nullify a whole series cf the lawß of the
TJnitSwl 13uu.es, constitutionally enacted by.
Congrpss, admits of-application to a great Va
riety of subjects; bonce we are surprised that
die men who are loudest in their approval of
the rights of local legislatures to compel dep
uty postmasters to too tbe mails of tbe United
States, should quarrel with tbe rigbts of North
ern Legislatures, similarly constituted, to pais
habeas corpus acts, personal liberty bills and
the like, for the nullification of another law ol
Congress of doubtlul constitutionality—the
Fugitive Slave Law. As long, then, aa legis
latures boili ixorth and South have tbo war*
rantjaf a Cabinet officer, ,iio,doubt endorsed by
all his colleagues, for sett ng a. law of Con
gress at defiance whenever they are pleased to
do 83, we take it tliat no Northern law-making
body will see lit, uopn the demand of the
South, to bade down from any position, no
matter how radical, that it may .have assumed.
It has been a characteristic always of the
Propaganda, to claim for whatever nourished,
strengthened, extended or perpetuated slavery,
the merit of legality, and thus far in our na
tional history they have found the judicial and
executive authorities of the land, including the
President and his Cabinet, and the Supreme
Court, ready and willing instruments for
making their claim good. 'At the same
liko wise, unscrupulous partisans, playing
upon the law-abiding feeling of the people ol
tbe Xortli, they have never tailed to clamor
aboutthe unconstitutionality end integrity o
whatever has been under taken in tbe interest
of Freedom. This course will doubtless be
ptxtßned'-TOTrVlnit the people are not dull
enough to Cull to peroeire that if tbe local au
thorities of Virginia may rob tbe government
mniißj the authorities of Vermont may open
iho doors of government prisons, and the leg
filature of Now York may enact a statute
which shall justify tho robbery of the Custom
House in the metropolis. They will
also, that if this theory, hatched in Virginia
:>nd approved in Washington, is to ho reduced
10 practise in all the States of the Union, the
government of the country is virtually at an
2nd, and anarchy is tho successor of order.
i<*or this possible termination erf* the difficulties
uy which national aflkirs aro encompassed,
the Democracy, be it remembered are to be
••Jono.blamed. Theirs is tho discovery of the
ibooiy of government by which all government
.s made impossible. «
TXUS OXI'AWA RESCUE CASE.
Two inaccurate Atatamcnts of tho fuels at*
tending the Ottawa Rescue case, having found
their way into our columns in the form of cor
respondence, wo propose to give a recital of
the beta attendant and preoedentj as they liave
jometo our knowledge, without any lines or
coloring winch can affect the proceedings under
the peiidbg indictment ,On or about the sth
of October, anegro named Jim "was seised by
a mob on one of tho Illinois Central trains in
some part ofPeny coftnty. Tbo pereona tvho
made the arrest were not offioeta of the' law,
•State' or Federal. They were residents of
Union county, who have acquired some note*
rietj in *.he State as the "Jouesboro. kidnap
ers," albeit the Colette of that place locates 1
. diem in the nighboring town d Anna. Thoy !
nssumed to be acting naderthe &th section of
the Illinois statute -entitled Negroes ;
AJulattoes—the said section baring .'been
Jcdared unconstitutional and void by the
of the Slato, nine years ago.—
dut their proceedings . under this Eta*
mte, .aside * from .its unconstitutionality,,
were wholly irregular and illegal. The
•ict provides that the supposed fugitive, so ar"
rested, siiall bo taken before & justice of tho
oeace and by him jsommincdlO-the enstody of
the sheriff to be lodged in. the jail of the coun
ty whore the arrest was made, to be adver
tised at the door ot the Court House within
three days after the commitment Whether
any proceedings were had before a justice, we
io not know, but it is certain that the sheriff
ol Peny County refused to hare anything to
<lo with the negro, or to allow the'jail to be
used for the purpose of confining him. The
kidnappers thereupon started with their:prey
■or Joaesboro, two counties distant, where they
a feheriff willing to incarcerate tbo negro
while the others wore hunting up an owner-tor
•iim.
Meanwhile, Mr. B. G. Root, of Taxnaroa,
i'&rry County, resolvod to test the validity of
Uirjse procefciingß. He went to Ottawa and
procured from Judge Caton a writ* of habeas

have the legality of his imprisonment passed
upon. TThcn tho writ was served on that
functionary he took it as a huge indig»
aity, and declared that -he would tol
erate no such impertinent interference
with the goings-ca_in-hia jaUl "What
business had the Abolition judges in North
ern Illinois to send their writs down ,to
Jonesboro? Why didn't Mr. Root go to
Judge Breeso ? etc., etc. Some of this mighty
gentleman's neighbors ventured to suggest
that he was laying the foundations for another
sort of a writ—one calling for Atsbody instead
oftheHwgro'*. • -Having "taken! egtd advice on
the subject ho gave out that he would adver
tise Jim a oertain number of days, and if no
one appeared to claim him he would take him
up to Ottawa! Ho was prevented from tak
ing this coarse by the earnest representations
of an ex-judge in that part of the State, who
counselled him by ell means to obey the writ*
Be fire the expiration of the time for his appear
ance in Ottawa, the alleged owner was found,
in the person of Mr. Richard Phillips, of Cape
Girardeau, Ho. The indictment against the
citizens of Ottawa alleges that Jim escaped
from service and labor,* which he owed to tho
said Phillips, on the first day of September
1859.
It having been determined among the several
holders of Jim that he should be taken to
Ottawa, all hands started Northward on the
17th of October.' They first proceeded to
Springfield Ibr advice, as to the legality of their
tenure. They were not slow, in learning that
their action was gravely unlawful, and tbat to
hold their booty they must have recourse to a
very different set of papers and powers. U.
S. Commissioner Corneau issued a writ in pur
suance of the fugitive slave law of Congrees,
. and converted, or attempted to convert, one
Isaac X. Allbright (of the kidnapping party)
; into a Deputy TJ. S. Marshal. It was stated at
the time of. the occurrence that in the harry of
- business it had been neglected to*administcr'
. the oath of office to this Allbright, but the in
• dictment alleges, that the oath was regularly
aiminktered,—■we presume this will be a point
' for the jury to determine.' -
| Tho gang then proceeded to Ottawa. In
' passing through La Salle they were obliged
to traverse the principal street of that city }
. from the Illinois Central depot to that of the
, Rock Island road. The appearance t':ere of
1 the phenomenon of a negro tied with a cable,
; and driven by half a dozen men, with murder
ous weapons in their hands, inflamed the popu
lace, and mora especially the Irish laborers on
■ the Canal basin, in the highest degree. The
latter were with difficulty restrained from
• mobbing tho white men and setting the negro
free on the spot Arrived at Ottawa, a large
; crowd assembled at the Court House to wit
ness the proceedings under the writ of habeas
corpus. Judge Caton decided that the arrest
. in the first instance was illegal, and that the
negro must be discharged therefrom; but it
: appearing that he was held also by virtue of a
writ issued under the Fugitive Slave Act of
Congress, he must be remanded to the cue
, tody of tho alleged Deputy-Marshal When
the decision was pronounced some person in
tho crowd requested all who were in Civor of
assisting in the execution of. the law to say
' Aye. Almost every man in the room respond
ed-lye. "Comehere you blade scoundrel,"
said anothor, seizing him by the arm and jerk
•ing him in the direction of the toor. There
was a rush and a hubbub about one minute in
duration, and Jim was gone. The crowd
around the door was very great, and befure the
and his posse could gain the street
by the ordinary means of egress, there was no
■Jim in the city limits. It is said that ho ran
off 'with a pair of horses.
' Tho indictment found by the grand jury of
'the XJ. S. District Court, recites only the events
transpiring under the federal writ issued at
[Springfield. The evidenco being wholly ex
parte, as is usual in presentments before grand
juries, those facts only are recited whica the
prosecution chooses to adduce. The trial, we
understand, will come on at the February term
of the Court.
Tlte New SQaneaota Senator.
. Martin S. Wilkinson, the successor of Geo.
jJames Shields, as U.S. Senator from Minnesota,
]is the afro of Alfred Wilkinson, a farmer, of
jSkeneatafes, N. Y. He was born in 1620, hence
is"39 years of age. Educated in the Academy of
his natitetowD, be studied law in the office ol
John C. Beach, and was admitted to practise in
IS4I. Iq IS4S, Mr. W. emigrated to Eaton
County, Michigan, where he was known as a
successful lawyer and an ardent Whig politician.
In 1847, he moved to the Minnesota country,
then just beginning to attract tbe attention ot
emigrants, lie made his home at Stillwater,
and was soon after elected District Attorney of
St. Croix County, then apart of Wisconsin. In
1850, be became at the same time a resident of
St. Paul and Attorney-General for the Territory,
receiving bis appointment from Gov. Bamsey.
Subsequently he acted as one ot the Commis
sioners for the revision of the Territorial Stat
utes, and at a later day, as IlegisUrof Deeds
for Bamsey County—the most valuable office in
the Territory. Accepting the Attorneyship of
the Southern Minnesota itailroad Company, he
took up his residence at ilokah, in Houston
County, whence he was soon obliged to go to
Mankato, in Blue Earth County, where be now
resides. At tbe latter place be engaged in tbe
general practice of his profession, with consid
erable pecuniary sncceas.
In politics Hr. Wilkinson was always a Whig,
until the rise of the Republican ranks in 1655,
when he became one of its most active and zeal
ous members. As a candidate for Congress in
•1557, though defeated, he did good service for
tbe cause, and laid the groundwork of tbe po
litical reputation which has elevated him to bis
present conspicuous station. He is a man of
decided ability, and will do no discredit to the
State which he represents, nor to tbe friends
to whom he is indebted for bis preferment.

WAtausoiojr, Dec. 37, lESf.
" Extra Billy" is on his third day. At quar- j
ter to one o'clock to-day he was broken in upon
by a handsome young man, who entered the
middle door of the Boose with a large'white en
velope, bearing upon it .the great- seal of the
United States, under bis arm. Following close
behind him were several men, bearing each a
large bundle. The young man approsched one
third the way up the aisle. By this tims there
was quite a sensation on the floor and in the
galleries, but before it could be whispered what
the true cause of this invasion upon, the rights
of the"Virginian was, Doorkeeper Wright an
n ounced " A messago from the President of the -
United States." The handsome youth proved
to be Mr. Buchanan, the President's nephew,'
| and Private Secretary. He' stammerad and
j blushed like a young maiden when "popping
I the question" first salutes her ear. It was his
' first appearance in the House- of Representa
tives, and it was much easier to confront the
i Clerk and members of the House than to stand
undaunted before the imposing galleries from
which flashed upon him the light of between
three and foor thousand eyes, bright, young,
t speaking and beautiful! He hadjust come from
j the Senate, where he commenced his lesson,
which be had undoubtedly practiced before the
mirror for several days, with the words 41 Mr-
President." In the-House he forgot himself,
I and repeated his Senate lesson by commencing
44 ilr. President." A bystander prompted him,
and be began again 4l Mr. Clerk, lam instruct
ed by the President of the United States
to deliver to the House of Representatives a
message in writing." Instantly'one hundred
members* were upon their feet cryiog "Clerk,"
"Mr. Clerk," "Clerk"' "Clerk." Or course the
Clerk knew enough to recognize a friend of tho
Administration, who would make a motion that
would not be disrespectful to the President.—
So Mr. John Cocnrane, of New. York, was awar
ded the floor, aad he'moved • that ibe Clerk be
authorized toreceivethe message, and that it
be laid upon the table. Mr. Cochrane forgot
1 his duty, and was quickly prompted by Mr« 1
Cnrige, of K. C., who moved to amend CocL
rane's motion by authorizing the Clerk to read
j the message. The Republican ' side made a
I simultaneous protest against the
| and vehemently demanded the yeas and nays ou
| the question. Mr. Stanton, of Ohio, stated that
i never but once before' did the President of the
Uoited States send in his message-until, as re
i quired by law, the House was organized. That
was done by Pierce,-.in the 84th- Congress, aud
'then it was laid upon the'table until after the
' House elected *a Speaker. Barksdale thought
1 Stanton was mistaken, but soon discovered that
! he was mistaken himself and tbat Stanton was
j right. Mr. Craige withdrew his motion to read
i the message, and it was laid upon the table. So
j the members of the House made a stampedofor
: the Senate, where a vote bad just been taken to
| receive and have the message read. Geo. Bow
man was on hand with printed copies and the mo*
. ment the Clerk began to read, Bowman began to
: distribute. The President went to the telegraph
office, in person, and left despatches for his con
fidential agents in the principal Northern cities
to deliver printed copies of his message to the
Press the moment they were notified that
the Senate Clerk bad commenced reading*
I am assured by the President'* private
Secretary that no copies of tbe Message were
i sent to Western cities. Why this slight is man
: ifested towards tbe imperial West by ilr. Bu
chanan is more than I can imagine. I send you
• a copy herewith by tbe earliest mail. OnetLou
. sand words bare been sent to the Associated
Press, North, South and West by telegraph.
My assurances to jou in my last that Mr. Bn
; cbanan woujd not, interfere with Kansas affairs
'isverified. Indeed be was urged by Mr. Con
. way and Mr. Arny to interfere su far as to allow
tbe Wyandotte Constitution to accompany the
message, and to be .pleased to recommend the
immediate admission of Kansas into tbe Union.
" J. B." was not pleased to do any such thing.
mVhen the people of the territories cry " bands
off" be interferes, bnt when they call upon him
to perform in their behalf a Constitutional dnty
to them, be suddenly adopts tbe let alone
policy.
In the brief space whlchlia& elapsed since the
message has been s'eutto theHwd-Houses—only
two hours up to tbe time 1 close this Utter—it
is impossible to give a complete idea of tbb im
pression it makes upon tbe 'members. It is
generally conceded to' be, however, one of the
. most bold and ingenious attempts to carry and
;fortify slavery in the Territories that was ever
; undertaken. -II is a bid for tbe 'nomination at
.Charleston. It promises a slave code, and
' thrusts Douglas nnder the filth rib. The Auti
-5 Lecompton'Democrats andsome other Northern
Democrats denounco it in unmeasured terms.

[Correspondence of tba l'raa <uid Tribune.]
Clzvklxsd, Dec. 57.15 M.
Mutrt. JZdttcrt-rrWith your leave 1 should
like to notice some of the improvements at your
neighboring town of Lake Forest. When the
General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church
met in your city in May, ISSS, I accepted with
others, the invitation to the Assembly and
irieuds in attendance to spend an afternoon at
the site of tbe Lind Uuiversity. I had already
examined the map.of the town and thebeauti
lul winding streets, traced aloog the banks of
the ravines, satisfied me that it was laid
out with exquisite taste, and if its location an
swered I was even then pre
pared to believe that this must in a score of
years become one of your most delightful sub
urban resorts. A ramble of several hours con
vinced me tbst no finer site for a town could be
'found at the West.
Mature had traced the lines for tlie streets
when time first began, and the exx.inent gentle*
man who laid oat the loirn showed his superior
taste by defining upon parchment those tracings
which the Great Artist of the Universe had
imprinted upon this lovely spot. Bat with all
the beauty of the location, with all the roman
tic grandeur of-the ciew from the lake shore,
eignty feet above its surface, I had learned to
believe that towns *' are plants of slow growth."
We were in a venerable old forest; the deep
woods of centuries covered the town site. The
winding streets were beautiful on paper only.
A hotel bod just been' planted among the tall
overshadowing oaks, and perhaps two or three
other lots showed incipient signs of future im
provement. The venerable fathers who were
present, regarded the prospects of the town
and the University favorably; but most
or them, with myself, did not suppose that any
considerable progress would be made before
li.teen or twenty years, while others thought
tba*« a generation would be requiredto fully in
augurate the plans, and realize the sanguine
hopes of the founders of the Institutions to be
here located. Hence we thought the addresses
made by two of your citizens, one at the hotel,
and the other upon the University Pari:, spiced
decidedly with Western enthusiasm, not to say
Western extravagance.
Imagine mr surpriseon visiting Lake Forest
a few days since, to find many of tbe gracefully
winding streets handsomely graded, sidewalks
baUt in various directions, & large amount of
grabbing done on tbe more distant lots, a depot
with side tracks for the railway, a store and
post-office, and somo twenty or more families
prorided with neat, and some of them elegant
homes; and I learned that tbe plans for more
extensive improvements are maturing for the
coming summer* Hat whit was still better aod
more surprising, I found a large and convenient
acajeht
Bonding completed; the preparatory de
partment of the University in vigorous oper
ation, and tbe Freshman class already formed.
The teacher of-mathematics, tod .Principal of
the preparatory department, Prof. SJi Miller, A.
M. is a gentleman of experience and superior
qualifications for tbe important post he has been
called to fill. The Professorof Languages, Eev*
Wm. C. Dickinson,' is" a line classical scholar
and in aU rcipecta a gentleman wu <• i fluence
upon the popularity and tbe success Lind
University willbegrowing and effective.' The
institution alrcady.jromber* some forty or fifty
students. For the information of your readers,':
while on this - I add that [the price of
tuition in tbe Collegiate department Is S3O per
year; Academic . course 124; English S2O;
Board from $2.35 to S2JSO per ~week. I need
not tell you that I was very glad as well as very
much surprised to find this institution bidding
fai- at an early period to take an honorable po
sition among the eoljeges of the country.
Tbe financial aod general agent of Lind Unl*
vcrsily is Iter. L. H. -Loss, whose office is at
Xo. 24 Portland Block, corner of Washington
and Dearborn streets, Chicago. Tbe friends of
the institution can learn from him any facts in
regard to tbe present oondition and future plans
of its founders
BotwilLyou permit me to say that I was, if
possible, still more agreeably surprised by vis
iting the
rouse LID IX3 SXXXXAXT.
This Institution wis opened by Ber. Baxter
Dickinson, D. D-r last September, whoa* sabh
I bad long Ictroed to associate with tho leading
Theological Institutions of the country. liar*
log sow become venerable by age, he has re
tired from the active duties of professional life,
and it is well, that be and bis most estimable
lady should tike the place of the parents of tbe
young ladies, who are committed to tbeir
core. Tbeir four daughters are tbe teachers.
My acquaintance satisfied me that their atrong
native aense bad led them to carefully improve
the opportunities which the beat-seminaries
and tbe best society in the country can afford.
The advantages of a residence in Europe have
also been enjoyed by tbe principal instructor.
Wiihsncb elements of.success no one will be
surprised to learn that tbe accommodations of
the school are already taxed almost to tbeir
fullest capacity. I cannot imagine a more de
sirable place to educate a young ladr, for it ;
combines all the safety and the comforts of
borne with the highest intellectual, social and
moral training. Tbe price of board and tuition
I believe is $250 per year. '• i
I have the evidence of my own consciousness
that all these improvements have been made
in the short space of one year and eight months.
The facts seem more, like tbe deceptions of
magic than anything of which I ever was a per:
so rial witness. I can now understand what
Western onergy and enterprise can-do. If
those who are interested in Lake Forest can ac
complish so much in so short a time in spito of
the pinching "hard times" tbroogb which the
country has passed, I should not dare to antici
pate the results which tbe next five years will
realize. Yourcitizeus and the friends of Lind
University at tbe West have tbe best wishes,
may I odd the thanks of the friends of educa
tion all over tbe country, for their self-denying
effort*. The enterprise is ft noble one—one ot
which oil your people may well be prond. May
it be crowned with abundant success and last*
iog usefulness is tbe sincere wish of your
friend Clebiccs.

The rarious changes which have occurred
since my last despatch, in reference to the elec
tion of Speaker, out corroborate the views then
expressed. If aoy person can be elected other
than Mr. Sherman, it seems to me still that he
is John G. Daria. Clark, Adrain, Riggs and
Reynolds will vote for hint. The difficulty lies
with certain of tbe South Americans and fire
eating democrats. This difficulty 1 apprehend
will prove insuperable. Tne obstacle in tbe way
of an election ofa South American is that not a
Northern democrat nor an anti>LecomptoQ de
mocrat will vote for him—while noLecompton
democrat can be elected, beeause sot one ot the
anti-Lecompton democrats will vote for him.
So all, or nearly all tbe democrats, anti-Lecomp
ton democrats and South Americans being nec
essary to effect a choice, you perceive that it is
improbable that they will conbine sufficient
strength to elect. Buttbe House mustorganize.
How, then, will it possibly be doje.
I suppose that whenever a voic can be had on
tbe plurality rule, it will he passed by the com
. bined forces of the Republicans and the live
Anti-Lecomptonites. That doue, Sherman will
be elected Speaker. 1 his is the only solution
now anticipated of tbe Hooke problem.
' Tbe Democrats in tbe House are on undisci

motion. Their counsels, seem, therefore, as di

Secretary Cobb; bis first assistant, Mr. Clay

SENATOR DOCGLAS AT HIS POST.
Senator Douglas was on the floorof the House
to-day. He confined himself to the Democratic
side, and was greeted cordially by tbe fire eaters

There was a general inquiry in the House why
Douglas waited until the Senate adjourned, be

would hare voted for srny bill organizing the
Territory of Ktuu»aa as long as that odious
stigma upon cur iohtitutioos remained upontho
statute book. I votes chccrlully for it.-* repeal,
audio
wise patriot* that acquiesced iu it ac the time it
was established. It was repealed, and we pass
ed the act kn-nm as the Kansas-Nebraska bill.
Th* Abf>li:i»n.orquatl Abuliiioo party of the
Uoitcd Statv." wer«j constantly coutenuing tliat
it tvas the right of Congress to prohibit SlaTery
in-the coimucu Territories of the ITnion. The
Democratic p<trty, aided by most of the gentle
ttieu fro:u the South, took the opposite view of
thaca-e. o<u object was, i possible, to with
drax tiut qn.*.stioo,frotn the Halls of ConcreiS.
and p-ace u where it could uo longer risk the
public «veifaro and the public interest. In the
ol the United States it had been agi
tated all the time, to the disadvantage of the
-Somh; accordingly(l hnve not a copy of the
bill before me now, but 1 remember its leadiog
provision*.) accordingly a bill was passed, re
: pealing tie Missouri line, and leaving tbo-e Ter
-1 ntnr »*•< uu' n th« contract and the assertion that
: the bill made.
UOIV SOBTUKItX WERE OVdCKACDXD.
The bill buid within, iteelf, not that we intend
to legislate slarcry ioto the Territories, but to
leave t!i<? people free to form their own domes
tie inptitntion* subject only to the Constitu
liou of the (Tinted SL&ies- That was as much
as we. cimM r.grce upon. There was a .point
upou which wu could not agree. A considera
ble porticu ot the Northern Democracy held
that slavery wasinderogationof common right,
; aod could only exist by force of positive lan-.
, They contended that the Cooflii-ution did not
i furnish that law, aud that the slaveholder could
I not go into the Territories with his slaves with
\ tbe Constitution to authorize him in holdiug
| his slaves as property, or to protect him. The
i South generally, without distinction of party,
i h;ld the opposite view. -Tcey held that tbe cit
izens of all the States may go with whatever
i was recogoizcd by the Coustuution as proper
; ty, and enjoy it. That did not seem t« be de
nied as to any article of property except slaves.
; Accordingly.* the bill coutaioed the provision
; that aoy question in reference ifii'Slattry tho*dd
b* rt/trreti to the Court of tbe United State*,
< aud the und>retan'tinff tcat that whatever the
: judicial decision should be, it would bn bind
- ing upon all parties, not only by virtue of tbe
i agreement, but under the obligation of tbe ch
• tzeos to respect tho authority of the legally
! constituted Courts of the country.
' WHAT THE SCAVZUOLDEnS COT TASBT TO DECIDB.
It was thea&tctrvpJUlaacer, while
of Kansas was in a state uf commo
• tLn, and when that daestion had de
'tenmued Sythe ihffl' 15c*canvas of ISSC
] came on. \
i It bad been charged tbat the Democratic par
ty of the country, aod particularly of the South,
.desired to employ the Feacrul government for
[thepurpose uf propagating slavery and slave
legislation iu tbe Territories. 1 denied that tbe
Democratic party desired to use the Federal
government lor the propagation of slavery, and
1 never conceded wbat we believed to beour
.constitutional right, to its protection, and what
: the decision of the Supreme Court has allowed
to be our right,! said~-ycsL We had confidence
,in our own view of our own rights. Our North
ern friends had their view. It was a paradoxi
cal question, and we gave it to the Courts.
\V ell, the Courts d.d decide the very ques
tion, which bad been submitted, to them, not
upon a case from Kansas, but in another case.
' \> iihout going into tbe argument, for time does
not permit of that, let me gire yon the conclu
sion. Iu the opinion of the Court in the case
of Dred Scott, it is said;

Thus the highest Court in the United States
settled the very question referred to it at the
disputed point, not legislate© in its character,
on which Congress could so; agree when the
Kaosas-SebrjtokabUi passed.. Tiie view that we
in the Southern Slates took of it was sustained,
that in ihe territories, the common property of
the Union, pending tbeir tentorial condition.
Congress itself nor the territorial government
had the power to confiscate any description of
property recognized iu the States of the Union.
The Court drew no distinction between slares
and other property. It is traits some foreign
philanthropists and some foreign writerado un
dertake to draw, this distinction, but these dis
tinctions hare nothing to do with our system of
government.
CNFUESDLT IXGISUkTZOT. j
Well, tbat being the cuse. hcri it haying been
authoritative!/ determined by tbe very tribunal
to which it was referred, tbat Congress
bad no power to exclude slafe property from
tbe territory, and judicially determined tbat the
territorial legislatures, auibwiiies created bj
Congress, had not the pova tt> exclude or con
fiscate slave property, Jarnftu that J fad nut

nor the territorial legislature i o the ligbt to
obstruct or confiscate tbe property o any citi
zen, slares included,pendingttielerritorial con
dition. [Applanse.l I do nof see any escape
from that judicial decision, if st>q admit tbat
tbe question was & judicial one; If you admit
the decision of the Supreme Conrt, and if you
stand by tbe decision of tbe highest conrt of tbe
country. 1 will only add ibis, lb it the judicial

these judicial decisions must besistained. [Ap

country, believe tbey ate able. -If they are not
—if they cannot be Enforced for want of the
proper legislation to 'eoforee them, sufficient
legislation'must be passed, or our government
is a failure. (Applause.) Gentlemen,l see no
escape from that conclusion. (Apflauae.) I will
add this: we must never grre up the question
that baa been judicially decided, that this con
stitutional rigbtexista. XV e must stand by that
decision. «e must hold to our constitutional
rights, but I would never prematurely raise the
question to distract the conotry when there is
no voice calling for it, Xorth, Ktst. Sooth or
West. (Applause.) I say we must bold to the
principle—we must stand by it. We stand in a
good position. Wc bare the Executive, we
have tde laws, we have the decisions of the
courts, and that is a'great advance from where
nc stood ten years ago. (Applause.)

Seatlnxeut ol the German Press.
The German Republican press is unanimous
in its approval of the action of the Republican
National Committe, in choosiog Chicago as the
place lor holding the Couvention. The Wat
liche Put!, of St. Louis, the most radical of the
German Republican papers, which has been
quite exercised of late uoout the policy of tLc
Republican party and entertained all manner of
fearful apprehensions, seems particularly pleas*
ed and quite reassured. It speaks as follows:
"The fact that the Republican National Con
vention was called at Chicago has agreeably
surprised us; Indianapolis buving beeu gener
ally mentioned as the place tor botdiug the Con
veution. Tbe mere namc-ot'Chicugo is in itself
a demonstration against Southern arrogauce,
and toe .National Committee having seiectea
that place aud not St. Louts or luuianapuit*.
goes to show that the leaders of the partv de
sire and are resolved upon ditplaying m the
Convetion not merely a remnaui ot their bao
-1 ner but of raising it aloft unimpared over the
: whole country.
" \v lth tbis step the whole policy of compro
mise seems to be put to an end. No trading
will be eutered -upon with the Kuow Nothings
at Indianapolis, nor with the Did Line Wbigaat
at. Lotus. If tbeie are indeed men with seu
timeuts of ho&or among the Republicans, no
otner answer coold be given to tne aggression*
of the South. Cnicagu » tbe verr heurt of the

the Couveutiun held there must assume a very
different character tbuu if it were held in bt.

The New Ycrk Jhtniztitung > the leading
: German Republican paper in the East, has the
'following comments on the call for the Republi
can National Convention;
• ''This call is fully up to the occasion. It con
, tains a preliminary summary of the Republican
national programme, with wnichwe areentiiely
satisfied. In the fiist place—and the lact
is important—a line is drawn between the
| Keouolican party and tbe conglommera
;tion o« the opposition parties in Penn
'svlvania and siew Jersey. It is true
'libit they are invited to participate in the Con
tention and co operate iu the election of a Kb
• pcsucax President, but it is done with an em
ipbauc declaration,'that as they are at prese«t
they are not yet an integral part of the Kepub
lic«u party. The cail luriher contains a disap
proval of the famous Massachusetts amend
ment, tin tqualitg of right* of all eitistm being
made a part ot the Republican confession ot'
: faith. Tne call does not contain anything rela
ting to the fugitive slave bill, but it uysdown a
decided protest against the doctrines as set
• forth by the United States Supreme Court in
jtheqiso of Dred Scott. Rronu's invasion is
ipotov a parallel with the invasion of Missou
irians into Kansas, and the one is censured nei
ther.less strongly nor more strongly taao the
{Other. Most decisively, however, u declares in
.thefoce of the treasonable plana and doings of
'the Southern disunion.sU that the Republican
. party, above all others, isdetermined to preserve
luviulate thcConstitution and the Union. All this
can, in the nature of the ca«e, be merely
• indicated in a call for tbe election of delegates
to tne Convention. Yet, eveu these mere indi
cations, proceeding from a committee of repre
s.otative men of tne Republican party, poiut re
liably to tbe direction m which tbe party will seek
a victory in the Presidential election, that is not
by tveakening and impairing its distinctive doc
trines and piinciples asla.ddowuinldo6.bat
by strictly and vigorously appljiug these prin
ciples to the new political developments and
' events, which have taken place since IST>O.
