What does it Indicate?
We do like a brave opponent. An op
ponent "endowed with that courage and
manly independence which alone cbaract
' rrise the truly great and good; which en
able man to throw off the shackles of par
ty prejudice and reason lor himself. With
. auch spirit we find ao desire to depart
from the true issue, or at least to shun an
honest maintainance of t'ie convictions of
truth. But in meeting the self-styled Dem
ocracy .we are forced to the conclusion that
. they are none of these. On the contrary
we find them avoiding all the true issues of
the day, and seeking to defend themselves
od malign their opponents through appear.
, ing in false colors, and in attributing to
. their opponents principles which they have
never upheld. And why is ill Why do
the Democracy continually harp about the
' Republicans going to set the slaves all free
. and Bate them our equals in privilege
Why is it they talk of intermarriage of the
races as the object of ths Republican party!
How have they the face to do this, when
none ether than the self-styled Deniociacv
. are practically maintaining this principle!-
How many of the Detnocractic voters o!
the South have no relations among the
colored race And j et they have the braz?n
. faced audacity continue !y to prate about Re-
publican proclivity to amalgamation.
1 There is bnt one way to account for this;
nd that is on the grounds of their conscious
weakness. We might as well try :o c! oke
muttering thunders, or even to stun the sure
progress or the Republican party, as to
hold the Democracy for a doy to the true
issue. The Di mocracy of the North par
ticularly never have, individually or as a
" party met the opposition on what was really
the issue. As a party they have shown the
most cringing obedience to party, and party
leaders. They have never stood up manful
ly to defend the principles of their party
Tbey can not do it. They iare not do it
" They talk about the sovereign rights of the
people and at the same timeui der the acred
kine of the Constitution they snatch from
the States tbe dearest r'ghts of man. They
talk of being followers of Jeffersuk, ant
at the came time repudiate him in their
. practice. They have parted from the in
struction of their founders, yet under the ir
name they eek to deceive the people, and
carrv out their villianous designs. Say
what you will and there is but one conriu
eion; the party is a mere tool of the pro-
a! every interests of thfa country and the
time is, coming when the people of the
party will see the error and drop the vile
thing to rot and its ltiathaome exintancc en
same lew slave dens of the S nth.
e do not blame the IH-moeratic papers
' of the North for avoiding an honest Usue,
fur while ever they bear the name f Dem-
- oerat they will at least have to give the
- semblance of support to all the arts, and
II the principles or the party. This of
itself is au indication of its weakness. In
all we plainly see the conviction of the
power ol the truth to which they are oppos
ed. They know full well the force of the
- truths we advocate, and the only argum;-nt
they bring is slang, the only plan is to avoid.
In all this e near an under voice speaking

SPEECH OF

[CONCLUDED.]
hie residence in this country? He is ert
air.lv ict a citizen of tii Unite State be
fore nut":l;za;if r, and according t Judjre
Taney cecifion, iniiorsod by the sei!-sty!eJ
Democracy, that the prant of citizenship
carries with it the right to marry and other
personal as weil ar political rights, does ii
not uecrs.-arily follow that a denial of citi
zenship is a denii-l of those rights! The idea

TTaiid rVfiirPiy of the 'white mar,
Jte
iaeu 'women and children and even Cor-
po ationa enjoy tha p-iviiege without any
fui.h consequences f"l!owin?, is to my vie
absurd; and yet this is the only reason given
for I he extraordinary decision that a n"gro
cann'it sue in a Federal Court. This how
ever has been d.-ridtd by the sectional ma
jority cl 'be Court anJ in that case it is the
law, though I 'rust it will never be repented
in unother. Having disposed of the case by
deciding that the Court had no jurisdiction
to act upon it. Jndje Taney next proceeds
to inquire into the Constitutionality of the
M esjuri Compromise, and the power ol
Congre.s to a.-quire and govcr.i the Terri
tories. He 8i;y3:
The power to acquire r.ecesstrily carries
with it tho power to preserve and apply to
the purposes for which it was acquired. The
form of the government to be established
necessarily rested in the discretion of Con
press, acting within the scope of its consti
tutional authority. It was their duty to es
tablish the one that would be best suited fur
the protection and security of the citizens
of the United Slates and other inhabitants
who might be tutborized to take up their
abode there. What is the best
form must always depend on the fonJit;on
of trie Territory at the time and the choice
of the mode most depend upon the ex-rci
of a discretionary power by Congress.acting
w iihin the scope ot its constitutional author
ity. It was ecquired by the
exercise of this discretion, and it must be
held and governed in like manner until it is
6tted to be a State.'
This psrt of the opinion is very jood Re
publican doctrine, but it is utterly inconsis
tent with the 'great pr nciple of popular
sovere:enty and self government' of which
we have heard so much. In another jart
of the opinion the JuiIlc abandons the sound
doctrine he bad previi usly enunciated, and
tnni unces it as the opinion o' the Court
tliRt 'the right of property in a slave is dis
tinctly and eipress'y affirmed in the Const'
tutioti,' and that every citizen has a right
to take with kirn into the Territory any ar
tic.e of property which the Constitution of
the United States recognized as property,
and Congress has no newer to deprive a per
son of this rieht, i.or could it authorize a
Territorial Ixovernmnt to exercise it. Mas!
for pt-pular sovereignty and self government
in a Territory, it i not eq'ial tj allowing
the TerritorialLegis!ulure power to protect
the people against the introduction of Negro
Slavery. Whatever o: her rights of self-gov
eminent the people of the Territory of Kan
sas may have, tha right to keep Slavery out
is not one of them, according to his opin
ion Still, there are those who insist that,
while the right to hold elavea continues in
a Territory, a nd can not be divested or alien
ated, it 'is a barren and worthless right, un
less sustained, protected and enforced by
appropriate police re-;ulai ions and local Ieis
1st ion, prescribing adequate remedies for
its violation. These regulations and reme
dies must' necessarily depend entirely upon
the will and wishes of the people of the Ter
ritory, as they can only be prescribed by
the local Legislatures. Hence, the great
principle of popular sovereignty and self-
government is sustained and firmly estab
lished bv this decision.' According to this
argument, self government consists in no
being compel ed to pass police laws tor thej
government of negro slaves.whose presence
there is n3 pow er to prohibit; or," rather, the
decis on that a people have no power to ex
tinguish SlaverVjeotablishes the great prin
ciple ot theii sovereignty and self-government!
What a glorious principle this is.as
thus expounded! What an inestimable priv
ilege to allow a people to have negro slaves
introduced into tbeir midst, without compel
ling them to pass police lanj for their gov
ernment! A precious right, indeed, to be
allowed to permit negro slaves to run at
large, uncontrolled by local legislation!
And to this has 'the great principle of popular
soveteignty and self-government' come at last,
according to one of the mid-wives who first
brought forth this political monstrosity, as
applicable to a Territory.
Judge Taney, in his opinion, says that
the Constitu'ion 'makes it the duty of the
Government to protevt it' slave property;
but the lesser lights of the self-sty ied Democ
racy, who indorse the opinion and are great
sticklers for performing all their constitu
tion) o! ijhtk'ns.antl p.Tl'Cular'y in regard
to slaves, say tiut this protection depends
upon the wi.il ofthe poeple of the Territor
ies, aciitig through their Territorial Lgila
ture. Here is a direct intimation th.it the
people of aTerri'ory have the rijiht to disre
gard their cins'iiutional obligations, and
muke ti e riijiit to hold slaves 'a barren and
worthless right' wiajjut local protection.
Where are the Union-savers, that they do
not cry aloud at the promulgation of such a
heresy as this! Why the attempt to lei
loose a necro slave, i lew years ago, in the
city of lio.-ton, cause near dissolving the
Uuien. according to tnese self-same political
doctors, who woin i i.ow let loose all the
negro slaves in a w ho'e .Territory, Icavius
the'r master I ut 'a barren and uorliiltss rigiit
to them.
For my part, if comp iled to hve nejrr
slaves in the community in winch I live. I
should greatly preler havii g proper police
regulations lor their government ;mid ( ques
tion if slave holers will thank one of iheir
co-laborers for intimating thai they are not
entitled to such protection.
Tbe most monstrous propo.-it on put forth
by the sectional mj"nty in this opinion, is
that w hich asserts that -the right ot prop
erty in a slave is distinctly and 'expressly
affirmed in the Constitution.' No such
clause ran be lound in that iiist ument. The
woid "t-li.ve' is not in the Constitution, nor
is there cny provision in it.express or other
wise, ( fGrnimg properly in man. The uiusi
which can be said is. that the Constitution,
dots not prevent 'persons' being held to ser
vice or labor in a S'.ate, 'under the laws
thereof.' But for this clause, it would be
entirely competent for each State into
which a person owing service in another
should escape, to d is. barge him therefrom,
and so the Supreme Courtof the United
Stales expressly decided in the case olPrigg
agt. The Ci-miiionwealih, of Pennsylvania.
lithe right of property in a slave is ex
pressly affirmed by the Constitution of the
Uuitca States, why was provision made for
the surrender or only such persons as were
held to service or labor in one State, 'under
the lavs thereof I' Why must they be held
under the laws of a State, if the Constitu
tion affirms property in them! The assump
tion of the sectional Judges as to what is
in tie Constitution being untrue, the argu
ment drawn from it, that what the Consti
tution recognizes as property any citizen
has a right to tuke wilh him and hold in the
Territories, and that neither Congress nor
Territorial Lesi'a,t,rc haa poweMo deprive
I
him of this right, must be unsound also I
true.it would nationa'ize Slavery throughout
the Union; lor a citizen must necessarily
have the same right to go with that which is
affirmed to be property by the Constitution
of the United States, into a Stste as into a
Territory. i
I utterly repudiate this extra-judicial.sec-ti"nal
opinion, so f.ir as it undertakes to
legitimatize Slavery in the Territories o:
the United Slates, and denies the power of
the people thereof, acting with the assent
of Congress, and of Congress itself, to ex
clude Slavery while the territorial condition
continues. Such doctrines are at war with
the Constitution, which confers on Congress
authority to nuke all need'ul rules and regu
latiji.s ret uectins the Territories, snbver-
five o; the principled sei -joverninni,:
destructive to the righ s of i !re people; ,
and from the tribunal w hich has undertaken !
0 establ;sh them.I appeiil to a power iiigli- j
er and above even this Court of last resort,;
whose name is 'The People,' and w ho will. !
1 trust, indue time reform this sectional '
Court by increasing the number of Jj'gs.;
or otherwise p!aeit;g upan the beu.'h a fair j
proportion of Northern members. j
Feliow-cit:z?ns, I have endeavored to j
place before yr,u the Repu1 licati creed as it
It uas fie creed of the men who;
arhieved our independence and framed our
Government What fault have you to find
with it! Our political opDe-nen's find none,
save they deny the just authority of Con
gress over the Territories.as I have attemp
ted tn slio-.v. They falsely attribute to us
sentiments we do nut entertain, and make
war upon them, thus paying an unw illing
tribute U the correctness of our principles,
which they would have no occasion to mis
represent if the truth would seive them as
well.
Why then will you not, one ond all, rally
with the Republican party and rescue the
country from the peril into whicli the action
of the self-styled Democracy has brought it!
I have pointed out to you some of the dif
ferences between t'ie professions and pre
tenses of that party ;hive shown you that in
the name ofthe Constitution they have set
at naught its most sacred provisions; that
professing devotion to the Union they have
brought it to the brink of dissolution; that
in the name of self-government they have
in one part ofthe Republic suffered the peo
ple to be deprived of that inestimable right,
and are now engaged in attempting to force
upon them by the aid of Federal officers and
troops a government against their a ill;thnt
they are banded together for supremacy ,nnil
making the extension ol African Slavery
the grand object and end o! the Government;
excluding from a!! participation in its affairs,
wherever they have the power, all men who
do not acknowledge the nationality ot Sla
very and its legitimate exi tencein the
Tirritorie of tlie United St .tes; that hav
ing control of thJ Federal Governtiient.wilh
.ts immense power and patronage, ihey have
wrung from a sectional Court an opinion at
war wi;h ts former decision the former
practice ofthe G 'vernmeiit and the Consti
tution and which if assented to and car
ried into effect must sprca I Slaiery over the
win le Union.
Now is the time peaceably to arrest the
carrying oil, thos principles which are fast
undermining the Constiiutiun.and most soon
wholly subvert it if permitted to go on It
will not do to wail till the despotism is fas
tened upon us. We may learn experience
from our friends in Kansas in this respect.
The people now there would have no diffi
culty in asserting their rights but f r the
despotism already established. The previous
action of an uu.-p.ng L-gi-ilntiire is now
miid- the excusa for using the wh ile power
or the reaerai iio-,nn-tii i coforciiu4
enactments, and it is a d m u t prob'em to
determine how the pe-'ple by pe u efui hi.mii-'
till the Republican party takes posse.-sion
of the Government, are to extricate them
selves troin the political thraldom under
which they no.v labor. Who believes that
a single Territorial official in Kansas could
hold his place for a day. if the voice of the
people of that Territory could be justlv
heard! Being uuable to resist the first en
croachments upon their rights when their
invaders drove them from the polls and elec
ted officers lo rule over them, the opportu
nity, now they have the ability to protect
themselves if afforded a fair chance, has
passed away. All history, as well as that
of Kansas, warns us that a people who
would preserve their liberties must resist
the first encroachments upon them. The
people of the United States have stood by
and seen the people or Kansas subjugated.
Ti e same power which perpetrated, that
great wrong is continually and not slowly
making encroachments upon your rights.
I warn you not to wait till, like the people
of Kansas, the tetters are upon you; till the
doctrine enunciated by the Supreme Court
is carried into practical effect, and Slavery
is established in every State of the Union.
The peaceful remedy is now through tie
ballot-box. The South is united as one
man for upholding the supremacy of the
Slave Power in tiie Government, but, un
aided by tbe North.they can do noihing.and
Slavery will sink back to a local Southern
institution, as it was con-idcred by all par
ties prior lo 1854. Are the rights of white
men less sacred, or is Free lorn less dear,
that the North refuses to unit0 to sustain
them! Or is ii because of the love of power,
and through the influence ofthe ten thous
and Federal cfficers feeding upon the Trea
sury pap, and bunded together for their own
aggrandizement, th it the Nort'i is divided?
jfwe wuuld change the existing state of
things, we must begin at home, and dismiss
from the public councils the Northern men

Correspondence of the Belmont Chronicle.
LAKE PEPIN, July 3d, 1857.
Ma. Tiiobubs: This morning the sonnd
of ihe gong to prepare for breakfast aroused
me from my slumbers; upon dressing aud
going out to the wash-room, I found that
we were in Lake Pepin, at Central Point)
discharging some freight, and that while 1
had been sleeping the steamer had brought
me safely to new scenes. About this Like
there are some bluffs, and the celebrated
Maiden Rock is on its shore, said to befou
nunjreu teei nign. itie lune noes not ap
pear to be u ide, but to n,e seemed more like
the natural river, clear or Islands; it :s, how
ever, a n enlargement ot the river. Hi(
blefi's now begin to disappear, and some
fine bottoms are to be seen. Upon leaving
the Lake the Islands are not so numerou
as below, and the river looks more like
river. On we plowed, through the deep,
dark, choco!ate-e."lored waters of the 31i

We are now neariug St. Paul, the place
near the clouds. The day is line, the sun
shines brightly, objects of interest are to be
seen along the bunks ot the river. At last
within three or four miles we catch
glimpse of the city, it is soon out of eiuht
again; onward the engines pus-h the bout.
lashing the river into waves. On the for
ward deck we take our stand, -o, n we make
a roundit g in the river, and the city stands
spread out before us, rising Iron, the water
at first abrupt, ami then gently Icr a mile or
more back, with the greater part that is now

We land our boat is fastened the shaiki

omnibuses the s-ip and, walked on the same

my friends, aud happily soon met with them;
they pleased to see me, and I again to find
