On Monday, April 25th, a young man named Joseph White, at San Francisco, became suddenly insane, and was taken to the Station House. About noon he bend evens before the County Judge for ¢ , when be suddenly sprang from the upper balustrade of the inner court of the City Hall, nies, Biv feet, and striking his head upon the brick pavement, fracturing his skall, and causing death in about an hour afterwards. White was about 18 or 19 years of age, was industrious and trustworthy, and the cause of bis insanity isa mystery. A servant girl, named Mary Pfester, was convicted last week, before the Police Judge of San Francisco, of stealing a buckle, and sentenced to a fine of $100, or be imprisoned thirty days. The girl had previously borne a character, and as the evidence against her was far from being conclusive, many believed her guiltless of the charge, A subseriptien was started by a number of benevolent persons, who raised money to pay the fine, and the girl was discharged. Geo. Kolheppe, a native of Germany, aud recently of St, Charles county, Missouri, was drowned in Rattlesnake creek, Trinity county, about the lst of April. He bad been missing about two weeks when his body was found. The miners in the vicinity held an inquest on the body, and returned a verdict of “death by accidental! drowning,” believed to have been occasioned by slipping from a log while croseing Rattlesnake oreek. The Herald says the San Francisco Superintendent of Streets, Mr. Hossefross, has made a calculation as to the length, etc., of the streets in tbe city, and has arrived at the following result: Entire length of streets, seventy-one miles, forty-three miles of which are paved or planked ; two miles and a half are in process of being planked; and three miles and a half are laid in cobble stones. Three miles in the suburbs are being graded. An individual known as Portuguese Bill, was killed at Upper Agu Fria, on the 16th ult, by aMr. Lyons. It appears the former had threatened to kill the latier several times the day before of which the latter was informed, and ou discovering Bill near his camp, having apparently, the intention of carrying his threat ket, and no pains shall be spared to render the guests at . into execution, Lyons took a rifle and shot him 80 that he died immediately. A bunter who had been during the last winter “snowed in’’ on the head waters of the Tuolaumne river, arrived at Sonora lately, with a fine lot of thirty or forty skins of various animals that he had captured. Some of these skins are very valuable.

Mr. Wm. D, Hamilton, of Hornitas, Mariposa county, wae accidentally and it is feared fatally wounded on the 16th of April, by the discharge of a pistol he wasabont placing in the waistband of his pants, The ball entered his side just above the hip taking a direction toward the spine. It had not been extracted at last accounts, and Mr. H. was in a critical condition. In Mariposa, according to the Gazette. violations of the game law are constantly occuring. Quail are killed which, at this time, is an outrageous act—almoet as bad as to shoot one on her nest or with a brood of fledglings. Every reprobate guilty of this, should be complained of, and fined if possible. At Coloma, on Sunday April 25th, a Mexican named Pedro Escavado, was seized with violent . Spasms and vomited large quantities of blood. . which caused his death in a few mioutes, An inquest was held, and the jury returned a verdict that deceased came to bis death from natural caves, The San Jose Telegraph is informed that the damage done to the fruit by the late frosts, in the vicinity of Santa Clara, has been over rated, and that there will be a fair crop of peaches in that quarter, as well as towards Alviso and Mountain View, the coming seasou, Near San Jose the crop is about ruined.

SENATE, FEB. 23, IN REPLY TO SENATOR BROWN AND OTHERS, Mr. Pcen—Mr. President, I am loth to go into this discussion, and I think it was all ennecessary ; but when I entered the Chamber this morning, the Senator from Mississippi (Mr. Brown) was engaged in some very impassionate demand on certain Senators from the Northern States; and when I desired to know the nature of this demand, not having beer present in the early part of bis speech, I was referred to other Senators who heard it; but I understood the Senator to demand from the Representatives of the Northern States on the floor, whether they would agree to the of an act of Congress to protect slaves in the Territories, taken there by consent of their masters, against the local legislation? I answer the Senator unhesitatingly, never; while I live, never. I consider it a monstrous demand, a violation of the ighted faith between the Democracy of the uth and the Democracy of the North, again and again and again, in their legislation and ia their platform; ané if that be the price, as Senators say itis, the price will not be paid— certainly net, eo far as I am concerned. Now, sir, I perfectly agree with the Senator from Virginia in his construction of the KansasNebraska Act. It was intended that, so fur as the right of a slave bolder in the Territories was concerned, he should eeek his remedy through the judicial department; and the Senator from Mississippi, who made this demand this morning, proclaimed that himself in the ear 1856, on the 2d day of July, and I have is words before me. Here is bis language: “T learn now for the first time, that the people of a Territory have not the competence to regulate their own domestic and police matters in their own way, but that ft belongs to Congress; that it is only in the higher branches that they have the right to pean ro their own affairs in their own way. Am to understand from this that the people of a Territory have the right if they choose, to exclade or abolish slavery ; and that if I believe ag a Southern man, such an abolition to be uucenstitutional ] mast go to the courts for the maintenance of my rights; and yet if other matters of less importance, mere matters of police regulations are adopted, they may come to Congress and beseech legislation to put it all right? “If the major Lg gta includes the minor, as T suppore it does, and the people of the Territory have the right to legislate on these great questions for themselves, independent of the action of Congress, I apprehend they have an equal right to legislate for themselves on the smaller questions. I should like my esteemed-friend from Connecticut to tell me where the line is ; to what partisular question it is a meee “ Under the goners . moray of the Kansas bill he admits the people of a Territory have the exclusive right to legislate. I suppose when we passed the bill that we intended by it to give them a right vo legislate on all aubjects touching their domestic policy; and that if any bedy was dissatisfied he should go to tie courts and not to Congress for hia remedy. This has been my understanding and I have endeavored to live up to it. My friend from Michigan and myself differ very widely as to what are the powers of a Territorial Legislature—he believing that they can exercive sovereign rights, and I believing no sueb thing ; he contending that they have a right to exclude slavery and I not admitting the proposition; but both of us concurring in the opinion that it is a question to be decided Wy the courts and not by Congress, If we are agreed on that, let us agree on this other proposition, If 1 had been the party agrieved by the law of Kansas, I knew the place which I was pointed to seek my remedy. Tf others are agrieved let them go to the same place,’’ There can be no question as to what was the meaning of the law at that time. Whatever construction Senators may find it advisable to put on the language of the present President of the United States, in bis letter of acceptance, it is certain that on the 2d of July, 1856, after he had been nominated, and after the Cincinnati Platform had been made, the Senator from Mississippi, at least, understood that bill in the language he bas here expressed. Who was his ifriend from Connecticut with whom he was engaged in that discussion? The present Secretary of the Navy. Is there any doubt as to the opinions of the present Secretary of State at that time? Surely not, Thas we bave two promioent members of the Cabinet who certainly at that time, and so far as we have any dispensation, to this time, believe in the very doctrine which he now pronounces heretical, Have they changed their opinion? No sir, I have to say this: if there be a citizen of any Southern State who thinks he has a right to take his slaves into a Territory and hold them in defiance of Territorial authorities, let him assert bis right in a judicial court, If the eourt gives him the right, IT submit to it. If the court denies his rigbt, be must submit to it. There must be mutuality; you must not come here to Congress asking from us that we #ball take the local and domestic affairs of . the Territory into our bands, when we have laid our authority aside, if we ever had any. But the Senator from Virginia says it is all decided. How decided? The Snpreme Court has decided it, It seems to be given out, and in fact I have scen it published in a newspaper here, that it was perfectly right and proper for General Cass and Governer Toucey and others, to have erred from the straight path during the whole of the year of our Lord, 1856, even down to December. 1856, when the Senator from Pa. (Mr. Bigler) preached the same doctrine on this floor; euch errors were pardonable then; but we come to March, 1857, and the Supreme Court of the United States took it up and decided it, and forthwith we are told that the Supreme Court of the United States bas become the appointed expounder of Democratic principles. Since when? Since they declared the Bank of the United States to be constitutional, which you repudiate in your platform? Since the Judges of the Court held the old sedition laws of John Adams to be constitutional, which you repudiate in your platform? Who constituted the judges of the Supreme Court the makers aod expounders of Democratic principles? Certainly not Thomas Jefferson, who pronounced them the sappers and miners of the Constitution ; certainly not Andrew Jackson, who told them that he would interpret his own oath, as well as his own principles according to bis views of . No court shall make mea) the Constitution. platform, When we get to going by courts it scems to me we bave departed from the whole . spirit ang principles of the Democratic party. But sir, the fact is that the Court decided no . such thing; there was no such question before them. In the whole Dred Scott case there was no act of a Territorial Legislature before them in any shape or form. No sach question was argued, no such question was decided; nor is the slightest allasion made to it in the opinion of any of the Judges, so far as I recollect, but in that of the Chief Justice, and then it is made simply by way of illostration.—-what the lawyers call arguendo. This was the first time I ever heard, in a case where nine Judges proponuce their opinions seriatim, that because one of them in illustration collaterally makes a reference that becomes the decision of the Court. [ think it will take lawyers generally by surprise. The Court did decide, aad properly, that Congress has no power to exclude slaver from the Territories; and why? Because it is not conferred by the Constitution. That is properly decided. It was an act of Congress ING, MAY 4, 1859. tution to opely a defect in that very form of ty. ieve that the Ba st tells us t riches have win property ‘seems to have legs, if not wings; and that proexpress geardin weakness of the alapeaione to emigrate er that. species of property. That you shall have to the last extent. T the Constitation -said, that inasmueb as, though this form of property is a man, 5 ha have robbed him of his manbood and conemned him to labor, it, too, would strip him of two-fifths of bis humanity when it came to estimate bim either for purposes of taxation or Then it wea providen nap Congress mip pret en it was prov t might hibit any more of that property being Brought into this country after the year 1808, and might tax it per capita before that time, That is all. I admit that it is recognized in all, these reJations asa form of property, established by the laws of the States, to be protected within the States; to be protected on the high seas by Federal Government; to be protected id the unoccupied Territories of the United States as against all foreign intervention. But, sir, T repeat the question of my colleague, does it . carry it into those States whieh do not choose to admit that property? Has the Constitution that extent? es its recognition of slaves as property to that extent carry them. not only upon the high seas and into the Territories, but does it carry them into the State of Hinois, which has undertaken to deelare that she will not have them? If there be auy thing in this constitutional right which the Senator from Virginia bas invoked, it is aright which extends over Dliaois as well as over Kansas today, for the Constitution of the United States isas supreme in Illinois asit is in Kansas. There is no such right, and the Court did not say so. The Court said that Congress bud no right to pass acts of legislation for the Territories beyond certain limita, and within those limits the right to prohibit any form of property was not pranted Therefore, when a citizen of South Carolina or Kentucky goes to one of these Territories he meets the local law whatever it be. The question may arise whether in the absence of any legislation, he can bold his slave. This is a question to be decided by the judiciary. There may be a question whether this form of legislation or that form of legislation would deprive him of bis title or injure his title? Let him go to the Courts, * * Gentlemen speak of the rights of the South in the Territories? What are her rights, or the righta of the North, in the Terriovies? People who do not go to the Territories have no rights there at all, except to see that their land is not abused. The Sevator from Mississippi says there are no people in the Territories ; they are . only inhabitants, Well, I should like to know what the people can be exceptinhabilants, He certainly does not mean to maintain that those who are not inbabitants are the people. No, sir, it ia the right of self-goverument ; you may cover it with nick-names as much as you please, Congress has said to these people, you area community, with interests of your own, domestie rights of your owns for your own peace, liberty and security, we relinquish you to your inherent right of self goverument, subject only to these conditions which we specify in the organic act. Your organic act is not au enabling act to the Territories; itis a restraining act. We restrain you within these limits; but as for all the rest, so far from professing to confer on you any rights, take the right which the people have everywhere, unless restrained by tyrauts, the right of self-government. Now, sir, what isthe mighty right that the Senator from Virginia says the Southern Democracy are going to fight for? It is the right of ove man in the State of Virginia to go into the Territory of Kansas with her ninety-two or vinety thousand inhabitants, all of whom are of one opinion—their authorities, their Legis. lature, all consider that the presence of slaves . is injurious to them; but in order that this one gentleman from the State of Virginia, who has not aided to reclaim the wilderness, who has undergone none of the perils of frontier life, . may enjoy bis sacred right of carrying his ne. gro there against the will of everybody else, . the Senator from Vifginia, and both the Sena* 1 . tors from Mississippi notify us they intend to leave the aanpitys carrying flags and banners and music. Well sir, if they choose to go on so small a provocation as that, I do not think the Union is worth preserving any longer. Sir, it is an attempt to press upon the people of the Territories the Jaws of the States from which they come. Do they all carry the laws of their States? If the law of Virginia goes into Kansas with the citizens of Virginia in order to protect their slaves, does the law of my State go with the citizens of Ohio, and law of Indiana with the citizens of Indiana, and the law of Oregon with the cititzens of Oregon? Mow many laws will you have in your Territories? Why sir, every man will literally be a law to himself. The laws of Virginia can not go there unless the laws of every other State go, and thus you establieh a kind of organized auarchy in every one of your Territories, Sir, all thie is a vast plece of special pleading, eked out by fictions of history, by propositions of law that cannot be maintained for an instant by assertions as to what constitutions give, and by assertions as to whatoourts have decided, to build up @ doetrine that is offensive to the pride and self-respect of every citizen of the nen-slavebolding States. Iwill give zou equality of rights, but I will have equality. You shall not carry the laws of your State into the Territories, unless you allow me to garry the laws of my State there. I agree that the laws of neither sball go there. Let the people of the Territories by themselves, through their own immediate representatives, chosen by the people, reaponsible to them, decide the whole question. I will agree that the Federal Government shall not interfere on either side by . act or word, that it shall be left entirely to the . people whose interest is concerned during their Territorial form ; and when they come to form their Constitution and State Government, whatever they say on that subject, be it to exclude . or to tolerate slavery, they shall have my vote . s0 long asI sitin this chamber, without any . hesitation. But when you tell me that there is @ negro sovereignty extending over all the Ter. ritories, that there is a peculiar species of prop. erty whieh no law can restrain, which no govl ernment ca put down or regulate, but which oes by force of the Constitution—as if the Gonstitution, instead of being made for the ben. efit of the people, was made for the special “6. . grandizement of negro ownere—and which is . to prevail everywhere, and to overawe and letrike down the right of eelf-goveroment of . { they had before them—the act of 1820, to pro. white men, either in States or Territories, [ tell bibit slavery north of 36 deg. 30 min. was the case, and that was the decision, But the Senator from Virginia speaks of their rights under the Constitution; he says that the Constitution gives them the right to carry slaves into the Territories. Where? Will the Senator give me the article and the section? Where is it? There is no such provision. We are told that slavery is recognized in the Constitation, Certainly; ani wherein? It is recognized as.an institution established by the laws of the States, and it is even recognized as having no extra territorial force whatever; because, but for the provision for the redelivery of fugitives, it is evident that the moment a iélave eseaped out of the State, the power of That . you you have perverted the whole foundation of your Government. .

A servant girl, named Mary Pfester, was convicted last week, before the Police Judge of San Francisco, of stealing a buckle, and sentenced to a fine of $100, or be imprisoned thirty days. The girl had previously borne a character, and as the evidence against her was far from being conclusive, many believed her guiltless of the charge, A subseriptien was started by a number of benevolent persons, who raised money to pay the fine, and the girl was discharged. Geo. Kolheppe, a native of Germany, aud recently of St, Charles county, Missouri, was drowned in Rattlesnake creek, Trinity county, about the lst of April. He bad been missing about two weeks when his body was found. The miners in the vicinity held an inquest on the body, and returned a verdict of “death by accidental! drowning,” believed to have been occasioned by slipping from a log while croseing Rattlesnake oreek. The Herald says the San Francisco Superintendent of Streets, Mr. Hossefross, has made a calculation as to the length, etc., of the streets in tbe city, and has arrived at the following result: Entire length of streets, seventy-one miles, forty-three miles of which are paved or planked ; two miles and a half are in process of being planked; and three miles and a half are laid in cobble stones. Three miles in the suburbs are being graded. An individual known as Portuguese Bill, was killed at Upper Agu Fria, on the 16th ult, by aMr. Lyons.

It had not been extracted at last accounts, and Mr. H. was in a critical condition. In Mariposa, according to the Gazette. violations of the game law are constantly occuring. Quail are killed which, at this time, is an outrageous act—almoet as bad as to shoot one on her nest or with a brood of fledglings. Every reprobate guilty of this, should be complained of, and fined if possible. At Coloma, on Sunday April 25th, a Mexican named Pedro Escavado, was seized with violent . Spasms and vomited large quantities of blood. . which caused his death in a few mioutes, An inquest was held, and the jury returned a verdict that deceased came to bis death from natural caves, The San Jose Telegraph is informed that the damage done to the fruit by the late frosts, in the vicinity of Santa Clara, has been over rated, and that there will be a fair crop of peaches in that quarter, as well as towards Alviso and Mountain View, the coming seasou, Near San Jose the crop is about ruined.

SENATE, FEB. 23, IN REPLY TO SENATOR BROWN AND OTHERS, Mr. Pcen—Mr. President, I am loth to go into this discussion, and I think it was all ennecessary ; but when I entered the Chamber this morning, the Senator from Mississippi (Mr. Brown) was engaged in some very impassionate demand on certain Senators from the Northern States; and when I desired to know the nature of this demand, not having beer present in the early part of bis speech, I was referred to other

Senators who heard it; but I understood the Senator to demand from the Representatives of the Northern States on the floor, whether they would agree to the of an act of Congress to protect slaves in the Territories, taken there by consent of their masters, against the local legislation? I answer the Senator unhesitatingly, never; while I live, never. I consider it a monstrous demand, a violation of the ighted faith between the Democracy of the uth and the Democracy of the North, again and again and again, in their legislation and ia their platform; ané if that be the price, as Senators say itis, the price will not be paid— certainly net, eo far as I am concerned. Now, sir, I perfectly agree with the Senator from Virginia in his construction of the KansasNebraska Act. It was intended that, so fur as the right of a slave bolder in the Territories was concerned, he should eeek his remedy through the judicial department; and the Senator from Mississippi, who made this demand this morning, proclaimed that himself in the ear 1856, on the 2d day of July, and I have is words before me. Here is bis language: “T learn now for the first time, that the people of a Territory have not the competence to regulate their own domestic and police matters in their own way, but that ft belongs to Congress; that it is only in the higher branches that they have the right to pean ro their own affairs in their own way. Am to understand from this that the people of a Territory have the right if they choose, to exclade or abolish slavery ; and that if I believe ag a Southern man, such an abolition to be uucenstitutional ] mast go to the courts for the maintenance of my rights; and yet if other matters of less importance, mere matters of police regulations are adopted, they may come to Congress and beseech legislation to put it all right? “If the major Lg gta includes the minor, as T suppore it does, and the people of the Territory have the right to legislate on these great questions for themselves, independent of the action of Congress, I apprehend they have an equal right to legislate for themselves on the smaller questions. I should like my esteemed-friend from Connecticut to tell me where the line is ; to what partisular question it is a meee “ Under the goners . moray of the Kansas bill he admits the people of a Territory have the exclusive right to legislate. I suppose when we passed the bill that we intended by it to give them a right vo legislate on all aubjects touching their domestic policy; and that if any bedy was dissatisfied he should go to tie courts and not to Congress for hia remedy. This has been my understanding and I have endeavored to live up to it. My friend from Michigan and myself differ very widely as to what are the powers of a Territorial Legislature—he believing that they can exercive sovereign rights, and I believing no sueb thing ; he contending that they have a right to exclude slavery and I not admitting the proposition; but both of us concurring in the opinion that it is a question to be decided Wy the courts and not by Congress, If we are agreed on that, let us agree on this other proposition, If 1 had been the party agrieved by the law of Kansas, I knew the place which I was pointed to seek my remedy. Tf others are agrieved let them go to the same place,’’ There can be no question as to what was the meaning of the law at that time. Whatever construction Senators may find it advisable to put on the language of the present President of the United States, in bis letter of acceptance, it is certain that on the 2d of July, 1856, after he had been nominated, and after the Cincinnati Platform had been made, the Senator from Mississippi, at least, understood that bill in the language he bas here expressed. Who was his ifriend from Connecticut with whom he was engaged in that discussion? The present Secretary of the Navy. Is there any doubt as to the opinions of the present Secretary of State at that time? Surely not, Thas we bave two promioent members of the Cabinet who certainly at that time, and so far as we have any dispensation, to this time, believe in the very doctrine which he now pronounces heretical, Have they changed their opinion? No sir, I have to say this: if there be a citizen of any Southern State who thinks he has a right to take his slaves into a Territory and hold them in defiance of Territorial authorities, let him assert bis right in a judicial court, If the eourt gives him the right, IT submit to it. If the court denies his rigbt, be must submit to it. There must be mutuality; you must not come here to Congress asking from us that we #ball take the local and domestic affairs of . the Territory into our bands, when we have laid our authority aside, if we ever had any. But the Senator from Virginia says it is all decided. How decided? The Snpreme Court has decided it, It seems to be given out, and in fact I have scen it published in a newspaper here, that it was perfectly right and proper for General Cass and Governer Toucey and others, to have erred from the straight path during the whole of the year of our Lord, 1856, even down to December. 1856, when the Senator from Pa. (Mr. Bigler) preached the same doctrine on this floor; euch errors were pardonable then; but we come to March, 1857, and the Supreme Court of the United States took it up and decided it, and forthwith we are told that the Supreme Court of the United States bas become the appointed expounder of Democratic principles. Since when? Since they declared the Bank of the United States to be constitutional, which you repudiate in your platform? Since the Judges of the Court held the old sedition laws of John Adams to be constitutional, which you repudiate in your platform? Who constituted the judges of the Supreme Court the makers aod expounders of Democratic principles? Certainly not Thomas Jefferson, who pronounced them the sappers and miners of the Constitution ; certainly not Andrew Jackson, who told them that he would interpret his own oath, as well as his own principles according to bis views of . No court shall make mea) the Constitution. platform, When we get to going by courts it scems to me we bave departed from the whole . spirit ang principles of the Democratic party. But sir, the fact is that the Court decided no . such thing; there was no such question before them. In the whole Dred Scott case there was no act of a Territorial Legislature before them in any shape or form. No sach question was argued, no such question was decided; nor is the slightest allasion made to it in the opinion of any of the Judges, so far as I recollect, but in that of the Chief Justice, and then it is made simply by way of illostration.—-what the lawyers call arguendo. This was the first time I ever heard, in a case where nine Judges proponuce their opinions seriatim, that because one of them in illustration collaterally makes a reference that becomes the decision of the Court. [ think it will take lawyers generally by surprise. The Court did decide, aad properly, that Congress has no power to exclude slaver from the Territories; and why? Because it is not conferred by the Constitution. That is properly decided. It was an act of Congress ING, MAY 4, 1859. tution to opely a defect in that very form of ty. ieve that the Ba st tells us t riches have win property ‘seems to have legs, if not wings; and that proexpress geardin weakness of the alapeaione to emigrate er that. species of property. That you shall have to the last extent. T the Constitation -said, that inasmueb as, though this form of property is a man, 5 ha have robbed him of his manbood and conemned him to labor, it, too, would strip him of two-fifths of bis humanity when it came to estimate bim either for purposes of taxation or Then it wea providen nap Congress mip pret en it was prov t might hibit any more of that property being Brought into this country after the year 1808, and might tax it per capita before that time, That is all. I admit that it is recognized in all, these reJations asa form of property, established by the laws of the States, to be protected within the States; to be protected on the high seas by Federal Government; to be protected id the unoccupied Territories of the United States as against all foreign intervention. But, sir, T repeat the question of my colleague, does it . carry it into those States whieh do not choose to admit that property? Has the Constitution that extent? es its recognition of slaves as property to that extent carry them. not only upon the high seas and into the Territories, but does it carry them into the State of Hinois, which has undertaken to deelare that she will not have them? If there be auy thing in this constitutional right which the Senator from Virginia bas invoked, it is aright which extends over Dliaois as well as over Kansas today, for the Constitution of the United States isas supreme in Illinois asit is in Kansas. There is no such right, and the Court did not say so. The Court said that Congress bud no right to pass acts of legislation for the Territories beyond certain limita, and within those limits the right to prohibit any form of property was not pranted Therefore, when a citizen of South Carolina or Kentucky goes to one of these Territories he meets the local law whatever it be. The question may arise whether in the absence of any legislation, he can bold his slave. This is a question to be decided by the judiciary. There may be a question whether this form of legislation or that form of legislation would deprive him of bis title or injure his title? Let him go to the Courts, * * Gentlemen speak of the rights of the South in the Territories? What are her rights, or the righta of the North, in the Terriovies? People who do not go to the Territories have no rights there at all, except to see that their land is not abused. The Sevator from Mississippi says there are no people in the Territories ; they are . only inhabitants, Well, I should like to know what the people can be exceptinhabilants, He certainly does not mean to maintain that those who are not inbabitants are the people. No, sir, it ia the right of self-goverument ; you may cover it with nick-names as much as you please, Congress has said to these people, you area community, with interests of your own, domestie rights of your owns for your own peace, liberty and security, we relinquish you to your inherent right of self goverument, subject only to these conditions which we specify in the organic act. Your organic act is not au enabling act to the Territories; itis a restraining act. We restrain you within these limits; but as for all the rest, so far from professing to confer on you any rights, take the right which the people have everywhere, unless restrained by tyrauts, the right of self-government. Now, sir, what isthe mighty right that the Senator from Virginia says the Southern Democracy are going to fight for? It is the right of ove man in the State of Virginia to go into the Territory of Kansas with her ninety-two or vinety thousand inhabitants, all of whom are of one opinion—their authorities, their Legis. lature, all consider that the presence of slaves . is injurious to them; but in order that this one gentleman from the State of Virginia, who has not aided to reclaim the wilderness, who has undergone none of the perils of frontier life, . may enjoy bis sacred right of carrying his ne. gro there against the will of everybody else, . the Senator from Vifginia, and both the Sena* 1 . tors from Mississippi notify us they intend to leave the aanpitys carrying flags and banners and music. Well sir, if they choose to go on so small a provocation as that, I do not think the Union is worth preserving any longer. Sir, it is an attempt to press upon the people of the Territories the Jaws of the States from which they come. Do they all carry the laws of their States? If the law of Virginia goes into Kansas with the citizens of Virginia in order to protect their slaves, does the law of my State go with the citizens of Ohio, and law of Indiana with the citizens of Indiana, and the law of Oregon with the cititzens of Oregon? Mow many laws will you have in your Territories? Why sir, every man will literally be a law to himself. The laws of Virginia can not go there unless the laws of every other State go, and thus you establieh a kind of organized auarchy in every one of your Territories, Sir, all thie is a vast plece of special pleading, eked out by fictions of history, by propositions of law that cannot be maintained for an instant by assertions as to what constitutions give, and by assertions as to whatoourts have decided, to build up @ doetrine that is offensive to the pride and self-respect of every citizen of the nen-slavebolding States. Iwill give zou equality of rights, but I will have equality. You shall not carry the laws of your State into the Territories, unless you allow me to garry the laws of my State there. I agree that the laws of neither sball go there. Let the people of the Territories by themselves, through their own immediate representatives, chosen by the people, reaponsible to them, decide the whole question. I will agree that the Federal Government shall not interfere on either side by . act or word, that it shall be left entirely to the . people whose interest is concerned during their Territorial form ; and when they come to form their Constitution and State Government, whatever they say on that subject, be it to exclude . or to tolerate slavery, they shall have my vote . s0 long asI sitin this chamber, without any . hesitation. But when you tell me that there is @ negro sovereignty extending over all the Ter. ritories, that there is a peculiar species of prop. erty whieh no law can restrain, which no govl ernment ca put down or regulate, but which oes by force of the Constitution—as if the Gonstitution, instead of being made for the ben. efit of the people, was made for the special “6. . grandizement of negro ownere—and which is . to prevail everywhere, and to overawe and letrike down the right of eelf-goveroment of . { they had before them—the act of 1820, to pro. white men, either in States or Territories, [ tell bibit slavery north of 36 deg. 30 min. was the case, and that was the decision, But the Senator from Virginia speaks of their rights under the Constitution; he says that the Constitution gives them the right to carry slaves into the Territories. Where? Will the Senator give me the article and the section? Where is it? There is no such provision. We are told that slavery is recognized in the Constitation, Certainly; ani wherein? It is recognized as.an institution established by the laws of the States, and it is even recognized as having no extra territorial force whatever; because, but for the provision for the redelivery of fugitives, it is evident that the moment a iélave eseaped out of the State, the power of That . you you have perverted the whole foundation of your Government. . Senator from Mississippi understands my position distinctly. I tell him I will vote for ne . eode, no act of Congress to interfere with the . local legislation of the Territories excluding or ‘admitting slavery—none. The Senators from Mississippi and Virginia, severally, have issued . their proclamation as to what is to be the con. sequence, They hold the Democratic party in . such very light esteem that, if that is the gene. ral sentiment of them inthe Northern States, they will not keep company with us any longer .
