ROBERT N. HUDSON, Editor. Ol 7EDKESDAY April 13. 1359 City Election.

April 6. IkM. Mr. Esptttt : liy attention has Iwen re Cenlly drawn to the strictures Contained in certain LaU and Laif journal relative to the Pepubliean doctrine on the subject of slavery in the Territories, snd I propose, wiih your permission to offer tome thought on that ubject. It it well for JUpublicaaa to review their ground, and iot to allow thenm-lves to be placed in a false position. I am a little fearful that my remsrk will trench upon "llsrhave's Holland Hittt r." or the tnev ia blccurt fur Kheurusiisn, tu, if jou find il o you can eai!y divide. The recent debate in the Senate, whereiu the true Democracy set up their claim in fa tor of national legislation for slavery in the Territories, aod the mixed Demociaey their theory of "unfriendly legisltiou'gives prom te thtt the' anciul a da; that when rogues ruucueiice hieb ujut enue (ruin rever ing a policy which the government had pur tued with Liidtvuting tept from it organi it ion. and its n.ontrju viola ion u! putlic faitb were argument not trong enough in the mouth of ita opponent, to arrert the fiayd, or to obtain frim the American people ; a verdict agaiift it author. It remained for the perforator of the deed to blazoit it forth U-fore lhe-ye of all men ; the American Sen ate where the plot wa concocted wa th theatre of it development, and the drmmmtit ;rae were the conspirator themaelvet. It it the old atory or a piarnl overtheplundr. The Dtmocratic Senatort were confident- ! ly courting upon au t nlargeruent of the area of Slavery to the full extent of the territory then unorganized, and all we should be able to plunder from other. Mr. Dougla in the Senate ei.doraed their claim, expecting thereby to aeure the nomination of 1.G; but bucca ncert are wisely cautious abut trusting each other, and a man out of the circle wa choaen, in his ktead. The making of I'resident, however, it Ot e thing, and tLe Iatvt of progret and of xpulation are ijuite another. The South find itstlf duped. Mr. Toomb,Mr Ilammoio) and their coa1jitora have discover el that their thare of the pluuder wa not worth th troutle of pillage, and they are out of patience atout it. They declare that they would not have accepted the Kana-Nebra ka Act in any other sense than at ita princi pie a they und rtooJ it ha i nee been embodied in the Pied Scott decision. Me.mwküe Mr. Doucln ha mol il nr will le aometime before he forget the lesson of 1 ; a iid ktf carrie into the Sentte the fruit gathered upon that interestirg field ol hi 1J or a n. bodied in the doctrine of "unfriendly legislation."

Kam-wi kv iii.iib unlit auu imperative than i pr-entel by the principle of the Republican and democratic parties, on thi question. Our hold that the Cvnstitu lion guarantee lavery in the Territorie ; the other denies it. One holds that it mar be t protected by a slave evle. while the other de I elaresin the laffjnsfft of the Philadelphia Platform, that govern (went can give do legal assistance to )very there.

We deny that s?scry rr be created by law a iaiiie aoy where ; ne was terr done. The r.earrst approach to it w - tVe Msdy coit of Kan, but even that ehd we4 iL st. To create slavery by law, would le, by enaeisg that oce ruan or clat of men may sub Vet . t'other aan or cbs cf men to the eondilior of er ants tor 1V, or, at the Southerner aty, f the eonditroei ef f re-perty. The formula wuhi run thus : Pe it eaacd that white men tnav compel black men by force to serve them fo life. Such an absurdity wa never attempted. Slavery originate Off? ty Usr, bt Vw force, a by taking ctprhve in wir.or by stealing tn-em ia Africa, or elsewherr. What i eoesnl by slsvrry beiwtbe ereatare ofhvallaw, as m tU.ys bek before the! Dred Scott decisioa. and s it bow the 1-vw.l tcHwithttardin that decision, is this : The! law has the power to defina the domestic relalions. The domestic relations art fur io enmber. Husband and wife, parent and child, tuatter and tervaot, and guarJian aod ward, The law, taking it for graute J that tlettj rela:jor ir. dehne their alattvc cbl jtttots (

and duties to each other. Dj dafiaia tka re latino tf matter and tervtot the law getapotaestiou cf the peraoo of the slave, til fiicling peoaltiea for inttrfciing with or tevering that relation, it perpetuate it.' Now, Coiigre never attetMpted o legislate on the domestic rtlstion, and nobody pre tendt that it hat any j-owtr to do to. Hence, a the rbiltdelphia riatfotm declirn.it can give Da astistai ce to tlsvety a here it doea eat airrady exist. Hut the exclusion of it restt on entirely di(?-rrnt principle. That ia fliiical question, and rot a piesiion of b.nustic life. The national domain b-lng to all the Jeo pie of all the Cniter! Stale. ('..nrcs is their Legislatnre, and if they jodge it the better policy that tlavery thould ul go there, they may, w hile it r malm a territory , and no longer, prohibit it. For example, lav Statt pay but a tmall portion of the revenues by w hich government is supported. I.rge farm with few proprietor worked by alavet induce these consequence; few Utter ar w ittt-n or received iu companion to those of a country where farrot are smaller, proprietor numerous, aud everybody it educated. Hence, they do not aupport th Tost otlice Iepariineit. The revenue ou which government tubauta are paid on good imported. Buch good are not worn by alave; they aro worn by free persona, therefore the free people of thi country aup Hrtthe govsrniurnt. Ily the recent enumera tiont, weave that the tlavet aro increasing In the Stutbern Sta'ea with auch rapidity that they mutt inevitably, at a day not distaut, be c tke predominant race. Nothing abort of butchering theui cau prevent it. Now, we aay, it is the true policy of the country not to Lave tlavery, with these attend ant evil, extended into the territories, and tkt we have power to prohibit it, aud that it i tight and expedient io do to. The power to prohibit a thing o.es not by any meant imply the power to ettablish it. Congreaa prohibit aalet of liquor to the Indiana, but it ha to power to et up a whisky utmp amoag them. It prohibit the counter feil ti g of doin, but it has no power to make Counterfeit no-uey. Nearly all prohibitory legislation i just of this character. A thing

j may be prohibited on ground of policy, and for the public good, but cauuot be allowed or established by law. Hut it is aaid tl:at admitting the power to prohiWit, it follow that the National Legislature may adopt the opposite policy and alio' or protect it, that this it not legislating upon 'he domestic relatione, but upou a general policy which declare a prefereuce iu favor if tervile over free labor. Republican have no desire to blink thi question, but are really to meet it fairly. Manifestly aa stated above it is in the strongest form in which it can be procnU-d. But there are several very aalisfactory anawert. It it admitted by all, even by the Dred Scott dev ision, that the constitution confers no ex tt$t power to establish slavery anywhere, either aa a national institution or as a domestic rehiioB, The decision proceeds on two false assumption: 1st. That alavea are property, aud 2d, That as such it determines ita status. A to th- first, in the three instance in which tlavet are referred lo in the constitution, they are detcriled a persons. In one they are de scribtd a persons owing service, a description which would equally apply tochildren, wards, and apptenticet. Nothing is belter known lhau the determined exclusion of the idea of property in men, by the framera of the constitu lion, particularly by Mr. Madison. The oth er fd assumption, that the constitution determines the status of property of any kind is equally indefensible. It would b? strange indeed, that the frame rs of that instrument, pas-ing by horse, cattle, grain, aud every thing iu respect to slaves, that they were fully determined not to do. Ilut these false assumptions by the Drod Scott Judges were not sufficient for their purpose. They were compelled to enlarge the area of the constitution, which, in itt first tetdence declares itself to be the act of the people of the United Statt, and "for the Uni ted St'ittt" by extending it to the Territories. Hut having gotten it there the end was not at ttincd. They ha 1 only chatlelired negroes. and stretched the constitution. The n xt re sort was Art. I, Sec. 2, Ut clause, The cititens of eoc'i Slate Lall be entitled to all privilege and immunities of citizen in the ev tral S'.atet On this pole the judges could hamstring their property and inarch with it iuto the Territories. Here we have their first false assumption that the constitution determine what is prep trty. 21. ihe fala- assumption that servant are tucli property. ."VI. The false asvumpiion I that the constitution extend to the terriionet, land llh. Tke falao imuioMiud thai lk uri- , f.. vilegesand iuuuuuitiea of citizenship, which arc atrictly personal, and noibiug el, confer the right tu couvey this bogus prupetty whtrever me owner please. Admitting the pre mises the inevitable logi is, that herevtr the c-ostituUoo extends slaves nay Ls held in atttet at well aa ia Tvrrtwnct.
