And soms of tbs Southern Oppositionists, one of the slave cod* men just elected in Ken tucky, perhaps, must, If they ar* honest men, bring in a bill for tbs protection of slavery In Kansas—for Its establishment there in spite of the unfriendly legislation of KansM. Here, thon would be two Instanoee of attempted Congreesional intervention Uluatratlng tbe principle. One to abolish slavery where tbe people wanted it, and tbe other to eetablisb it where tbe people didn't want It. What in this case would be the position of the Democratic party? He could tell what would be the position of one man! He would Ray t > the Slave Code men, and to the Abolitionists, you shall not touch slavery in New Mexico, where tbe people want it, nor force it upon Kansas, where the people are opposed to it. If tbe people of New Mexico want slavery, let them have It until they become tired of it and abollRh It themselves. It was a great mistake for a people to get the notion that they knew more than anybody else. Who were the people of Ncw Mriico or the people of Kansas, that their rights of self government were disputed? Were they not our brothers? Wm a man less capable of exercising his rights as a citizen in Kanaas, than before ho moved there’ If the people of New Mexico or Kansas made bad laws, let them suffer the penalty until moved to repeal them. This pretense that the people of any community could not 1)0 trusted to govern themselves, for fear they would ruin themselves with bad laws, was tbe plea of tyrants the world over, and had been, from the

beginning of deapotism.

Ask Francis Joseph whv be would not let tbe people of Lombardy make laws to suit themselves, and he would tell you because they would make bad laws This thing of taking care of the people, to prevent thorn from burning their fingers by b d laws, was a system of despotism

The Patrlwllsoa *f th* Opposition. We look in vain for a tingle object or principle which tb* Opposition propose to accomplish. The Alpha and Omega of their political creed Is opposition to tbs Democracy. They want to beat tbs Democracy to get control of tbe political power and patronage of tb# government, especially tb* latter- A Republican editor in Boston, who is * candidate for a valuable office la tbe gift of the next House of Representatives,

boldly makea tbs following avowal:

" In tbs next presidential election we are for winning. Victory Is, In onr jadjraent, tbe great end to be gained. • • • What we want Is

possession of the Government."

We ask the boneet and conservative of tbe Opposition to look at this bold and shameless avowal of tbe leaders of tbe Republican party. Tbe same idea is promulgated by tbe Allot, tbe new Opposition central organ here.No matter upon wbat policy tbe victory is won, the great end is success. It is the poMesslou of the Government, tbe spoils, for which tbe Opposition so earnestly contend. Give them that and they will be easy upon the slavery issue, and all other questions

(bey now profess to so dearly cherish.

The Opposition have been tried, and with success their principles have yielded. They won the battle of 1840, and what followed? In 1848 they succeeded, and what resulted? In both instances it was discovered, after a fair trial, that an ad ministration of tbe general government would not be successful unless it wm democratized—that the crude political notions of the Opposition could not be applied in the administration of tbe Gov emment. The experience of the past will be tbe history of the future The patriotism of the Op position has no other meaning than the spoils of victory. What is to be gained by confiding the Government to such a party, one that has ever failed in administering tbe Government upon its professed principles, or rather its want of both principles and policy? Give the Opposition power and they would be like a vessel at sea without chart or rudder. The patriotism of tbe Opposition has no higher aim than the spoils of power. Give them that and they would be indifferont as to the policy of the Government. What object in giving such a party power?

ponsnts of Democracy in tbs State. W ell, inasmuch m Mr. Ryan rail bolds tbe sentiments be uttered l*sta*a*o*, w* dare my hi* *yi*iene are m weighty with the Jnmol m they ever were. Mr. Ryan is one of the wannest admirers of Mr. Hendricks, and is an earnest advocate of hia nomination. W e understand the same is true respecting Judge Hovey. Surely the Jommml will not deny that these gentlemen are Democrat*, and if they do not think Mr. Hendricks objectionable, tbe editor bM no right to sweepingly assert that "the thunderiLg protests of tbe anti-l^eompton-ites against his (Hendricks’) nomination will startle and arose him from Ms drowsy forgetfulness" of the divisions which prevailed among

DsaaocraU one year ago.

Th* Enquirer man is counting without his boat this time, and bis "reference to alluxioM" is most unfortunate. "Richax® J. Ryam, Esq.," Is not "on* of.the wannest admirers of Mr. Hxndeices," and is not "an earnest advocate of his nomination." Neither does Mr. Rrax favor the nomination of Mr. Dunham. We say this much merely to vindicate the truth of history, and the political consistency of the distinguished gentlemen alluded to, not to question the eminent qualifications of Mr. Hxnoxicu, whose nomine tion tbe Enquirer so enthusiastically advocates.

law*. The assertion that true doctrine gave the tirst half dozen people who reached the Territory the privilege or making laws for all who came after, was a misrepresentation. No laws could lie made before the Territory was organized, if the people were not to govern themselves, why give them a Legislature at all The pica that would restrain the people of a Territory from entering fully upon the work of eelf government, would restrain them from taking any part whatever in the government. The cry about Squatter Sovereignty which had been eet up, had so far as he knew failed to frighten anybody or anvbody’s children, North ana South. When Mr. Calhoun first coined the phrase, Squatter Sovereignty, and denounced It, it wae in respect to the people of pi Oregon, who had formed a government independ- Ji cut of the United States. It was of this inde-

pendent affair that Mr. Calhoun spoke, and now you might find young Calhoun’s, m the great ono was gone, ail about tbe country talking of Squatter Sovereignty as a dreadful thing, who did not know wlint they were epoaking of, and had no idea of the sense in which Mr. Calhoun used the phrase that they abuseIf the principle of the sovereignty of the people, their absolute right in all States and Territories to manage, unmolested, their local affairs, bo maintained, there would be, throughout tbe nation, between its various communities, peace forever. And the Republic would endure, free and slave, ns our fathers made it—with the right to abolish or maintain slavery—to the end of time, and become a Republic, ocean b und, and chief among the nations of the earth. Steady progress and gradual growth, was a law of the being of the nation. A few years ago there was a policy to give up the land west of the Mississippi, to the savages. The Indians were removed there, under eoniraot that they never would be disturbed—that the lands granted them would never be occupied by the white men. There seemed to bo a design to rear beyond the Mississippi a bartier against our national progress—to trcct a barbarian wall. He had the nonor to make the first assault upon this policy. He commenced the work In 1843, and continued It every year until the barbaric barrier that eeemed reared to divide the States cf the Atlantic from the Pacific coast, gave way, for the admission into the regions beyond the iVIlitissippi and the Rocky Mountains, of Civilization, Christienlty and De-

mocracy.

To hia friend, the Chairman of that meeting, he said, to his friend, acting as the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, belonged the honor, the glory of putting the finishing touch to that great work. Mr. Douglas had referrtd to the Clayton Bulwer Treaty, and hia opposition to the leatnre of that treaty by which the United States contracted never to take possession of Central Amerioa. It was true that Central Amerioa wm a great way off. It was just half way to Calilornia! Ha did not say that we wanted It now, but we might want

itaotn* time.

The people of tbe United Suteacould not help expanding. It wm a law of the being of the nation to grow ; and a wise man always adapted his policy to the laws and the forces in operation about him which he could not control. Let tbe Republic expand until Its boundaries became the ■aae, and the lalanda of the seas Ha possessions ; and If that moat hatefal of tyranlaa which invaded the local governments were discarded—if each community were left frs* to manags the affklrs peculiar to Iteslf-the harmony of all ths parte of the Confederacy would Increase with its expansion and greatness. And with all this, 1st the people never forget one other thing—Rspobllcan institutions rested on the sanction of law. Ths violation of a law under a Republican form of government, wm a wrong done every cltiaen. In theee days there wars msn going about wiser than their fathers, contending that they had a right to reslat oil laws not approved by their consciences. Did any one ever hear of a law that was nit In oonfliot with ths conscience of ths violator of law, when th* halter wm about his neck ? Let laws always be obeyed while on the Statute book. If there were bed laws, 1st tb* people who war* th* law making and un making power repeal them. This wm tb* only course or public security sad pane*. Northern men should reflect that the foot that tb* fugitive alave law had been violated In their midst, had raised up other violator* of law In other Motions.

POLITICAL AND PERSONAL ITEMS. —Foa Jox Lane.—The Memphis AvolancAe Is out in a well written article, for Joe Lane, as the

"man for the occasion." It says:

Who will be the man to lead our forces to a glorious victory? Who has the talents, the experience, the popular traits, and, above all, the courage and popularity to lead the hosts of Democracy to triumph? The name that springs spontaneously to the lips of every Democrat, unbiased by cliques and factions, is that of Gen. Joseph Lnne, of Oregon. Look at his history from the time of his first appearance, an unfriended stranger In a then far Western land, and point to one act in his career of which his party and bis country may not be proud. General Jo. Lane Is to-day the embodiment of the great characteristics of our people—energy, enterprise and erseverancc. He possesses the iron will of ackson and the ability and judgment necessary to make a useful and popular President. He is

peculiarly the type and representative of the Groat West, whose claims should be considered

by tbe Convention.

—Goon Anvicx.—Senator Douslas, in bis late speech at Pittsburg, well says: Ths Republicans had no chance of success except In tiie dissensions ot the Democracy, and while ho would never stand up against principle or yield It for the sake of harmony, yet, in order to preserve tbe principles of tbe party be would surrender any personal prejudices and hostilities he might have. The part of wisdom and patriotism was only to remember past quarrels in order to profit by them. Wherever there had been past issues that had died, all the asperity which they ever created should be buried with them, and we should only look ahead In the future, holding forth the banner of Democracv, with our principTes emblazoned on it in clear and unequivocal language, and rally under the organization

of the party.

—The New Jersey Democratic State Convention was unanimous in recommending the name of Hon. Wm.C. Alexander to the Charleston Convention, as a suitable Democratic candidate for the Vice Presidency in 1860. —The Hoo. F. K. Zolllcoffer, of Tennessee, in a letter to the Baltimore American, denies being a Jew. He says: "I am not a Jew, and am not aware that any one bearing my name is of Jewish faith. This error mav seem scarcely worth correction, jet I prefer that it should be removed, and beg that you will correct it." —Id Louisiana the proportion of insane negroes is one in 2,407; in South Carolina, one in 2 999, in Massachusetts, one in 43; in Maine, one in 14! Showing that the darkies rarely go crazy until they get among their "frieuds,” who promise them so much and do so little. —Rev. Thomas Hill, of Waltham, Massachusetts, wm unanimously elected President of Antioch College, on Wednesday last, as the suces •or of ths late Hosace Mann. —Ex-GovzaNoa Wallace.—The Fort Wayne TVmet, in notieiog the death of Governor Wal-

lace, says:

lie was really a brilliant man, and was special Prosecuting Attorney of the Circnit Court of this county as earlj as November, 1828, and practiced at this Court for some time thereafter. Late In the year of 1843 be removed to Fort Wayne, and practiced law for a year or two. —Poblio Finance i or Georgia.—Georgia is remarkable for the cheapness of her railroads and State Government. Her railroads were built very economically and jet substantially. Her annual expenditures for the support of the State Government UnpoM a tax of only Mveoty-seven cents on the thousand dollars. This, ws presume, is the lowest State tax paid in any State of th* Union.

PirmoMu, Penn., Sept- 3, 1859. To the Editor or the Sentinel.—In my tast letter I promised you some description of the House of Refuge for Western Pennsylvania, and I shall make it as brief m I possibly can. There are two Houses of Refoge in this State—the Western and Eastern. The Western one is situated two and a half miles from Pittsburgh, on the bank of the Ohio river, and the EMtern one is situated at Philadelphia. These Houses have been built by appropriations from the State TreMury; by subscriptions from the counties in each district, and by private donations. There are eleven acres of ground belonging to it, three of which is inclosed with a stone wall from fifteen to twenty feet high, with iron railing leaning at an angle of about forty-five degrees. I can make my description of the building more intelligible to your readers, by saying that they are of aboat the same style and size of our Hospital lor the Insane, than I could by attempting myself to give a description. The land, buildings fixtures, &c , have cost one haudred and forty thousand dollars. The Officers consist of a President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, and twelve Managers. The State pays the salaries of the officers, and the institution is supported by the counties composing the western district, in proportion to the number of inmates from each county. Persons under the age of twenty-one are sent here for misdemeanors, vagrancy, and upon the application of parents alleging that they can not manage and control their chHdren There are now one hundred and eighty-seven boys, and sixty-six girls, in tbe institution, cf these twenty-five are colored boys, and eight are colored girls. The average age of the boys fourteen years, and that of the girls fifteen years. Tbe girls and boys occupy different parts of tbe bailding, and never see each other except when they meet in the chapel on Sunday, the girls then occuoving the gallery. The boys are employed in silver acd brass plating, bottoming chairs and making whips. The girls do boose work, and make all the boys clothing, and each one is compelled to make her own clothing. There are two school rooms and two teachers, the one for the boys and the other for the girls. They are taught reading, writing and arithmetic They eat at a common table; we were present when the boys went to dinner. Each one hM his seat, and when they were all seated, at signal from the Vice-President, they all bowed their heads and repeated a blessing. This tbey are required to do at each meal. The Vice-Pre-sident informed us that from eighty to eighty-six per cent of all those that were sent there were reformed. They have a very comfortable and beautiful chapel, which will seat two hundred and twenty boys and seventy-five girls. They have preaching twice on Sunday. They have no chaplain, but the ministers of different denominations officiate there. There is a Matron and Assistant Matron who have charge of tbe girls. Tbe boys and girls looked clean, healthy, and cheerful. Tbey are sell fed and clothed; their morals are improved; their minds are cultivated; and their bodies are strengthened acd developed by work and exercise. The girls and boys have each a fine, large play-ground. I saw as many bright eyed, handsome, and anparentiy happy girls and boys as you would meet with in the same number elsewhere. There are two divisions of tbe boys and girls, known as A. and B. Those in division A. are under fifteen years, and those in B. are over fifteen and under twenty one. The sleeping rooms are very much like cells in a ptison. There are two blocks for the boys and tiro for the girls. Theee blocks are four stories Itgb. Division A. sleeps in one and B. in the other. Each room is provided with a clean acd comfortable bed Th(re are two infirmaries, one for the boys and one for the girls, well supplied with medicine. An experienced none has charge of each. The building is lighted with gu, heated with steam, and supplied with excellent water from the city water works. Every thing was very clean and neat. The front yard is most beautifully and tastefully arranged, and has in it a great abun dance and varieties of flowers, shrubbery and evergreens. The Vice-President, S. J. Free, showed us through the building* acd over tbe grounds, and by his intelligence and kindness of manner made our visit pleasant, and I trust pro Stable.

separate claims of this government and that of Great Britain to the island of San Juan, at the entrance of Frazer river, on the Pacific.

More temperate discussion between the heads of the respective governments indneed a more pacific termination of the contest, and President Polk came down to forty-nine aa the peace-preserving ultimatum. Out of that boundary treaty artaee this new dispute, which probably would never have grown into any aignincaacy or moment but for tbo Fraser River discovery of gold and the settlements and towns which begu to spring np at the mouth of that stream and en the adjoining bay.

In five of the northern counties ot Ireland, the stronghold of the Protestants, and where Presbyterianism is the prevalent ecclesias tical element among the dissidents from the Ca tholic Church, there bos broken out a strong, but, as it would seem, not enthusiastic or fanatical excitement among tbe people which evinces itself in the usual way of religious revivals, in large gatherings, in protracted meetings, for prayer and preaching. Belfast, Colerain and Londonderry form tbe center of the movement and the small towns and villages for miles around are under its

power. ———<>——— Interesting Law Case.

An interesting law case came off before Justice Fisher one day last week. It appears that some time ago the Branch Bank at this place, finding itself scarce of eastern exchange, employed Judge Duncan to buy wheat and ship it to New York. The Bank furnished means, and should the wheat sell for more than cost and carriage Duncan was to have the profits, and should there be any thing lost the Bank was to foot the bill. The speculation turned out a losing one, to the amount, we understand, of about $2,000, which

the Bank paid.

Judge Duncan now brings suit against the Bank for $50, for services rendered in buying and shipping this wheat. The suit was brought against the corporation, the stockholders, and the officers and directors by name. This excluded from the witness stand all who had any knowledge of the contract, except the plaintiff. The Bank then claimed exemption on the ground that by section 18 of their charter they were prohibited from using their funds in mercantile business, and that no compensation could be claimed for services rendered in such illegal investment. This position was sustained by the Court, and the suit dismissed.—<Bedford Presage>. THE MCCORKLE CASE.—The trial of James A. McCorkle, who was brought back from Texas some time since, was tried last week before the Circuit Court of this county. It was charged while acting as Cashier of the "People’s Bank" at this place, he had taken, in various ways, a large amount of money belonging to the bank. The indictment was for larceny. The trial commenced on Monday of last week and closed on Saturday. The jury were unable to agree upon a verdict, and after being out about twenty-four hours, they were discharged. The evidence is said to have been very strong against the accused.—<Richmond Jeffersonian>. =======
