Extract from the Speech of Senator Douglas, at Hamilton, Ohio, Septeme . ber 26th, 1860. : Having avswered one or two questions propounded by persons in the crowd, Mr. Douglas said : Yet I amin no wise annoyed by these questions, and I now intend to answer one which I find published in the Commercial of te-day, accompanied with a very earnest and anxious appeal to me to answer it. Lewis D. Campbell here called ont: “I advise you not to notice the Commercial.” Mr. Douglas—No matter; I will answer it. And first, permit me to read the question. Tt is as follows : ‘‘What is'the remedy of the people of the Territories, provided the Supreme Court finally determines that the measure of restriction imposed by the Constitution upon Territorial Governments is such that those Governments cannot abolish slavery within, or in any way legally exclude it from their limits ?” How very anxious they must be on that subject. [Great laughter.] They want to koow what the remedy is if the Courts shall decide that the Territory cannot exclude slavery. Io the first place I will not do the Supreme Court of the United States the in} any Democrat in . declared that Congress NUMBER 373. America. Hence the Court bas already decided the question ouce, and has decided in favor of non-intervention and Popular Sovereignty as claited by the Democratic party. ‘The case of Prigg ve. The Commonwealth of Pennsy)vania covers that branch of the subject, and the Dred Scott decision, ig which the Court ad no power to prohibit slavery, covers the other branch of the subject. 1 think itis clear, from these facts, that the decisions of the Court, as they now stand, affirm the doctrine of nonintervention aod Popular Sovereignty as advocated by the Democratic party. I take it for granted that the leaders of the Republican party do not know anything . about these decisions, otherwise they would not have asked me the question. Surely honorable gentlemen would not distarb a meeting by asking for information which they already possessed, Ilaving shown that the Supreme Court has decided the question in my favor, I will conclude my answer by saying that I intend to stand by aud carry out the decision in good faith, I hope my answer will prove satisfactory, Tak Diricotty ar New Orveans.—The following particulars of the assault upon the captain of the British ship Gladiator, by justice to believe that they are going to some of Gen.

Thus it appears that slaves are delivered up to the States and Territories where they are held, under the laws thereof. The Fugitive Slave Act in itself declares that slaves are held in the Territory under the laws of the Terfitory. Now, bear in mind that that old Fugitive Slave Law ie still in force, and that the Act of 1850 ig only an amendment to it, providing that slaves, when arrested, shall be taken before a Commissioner of the United States instead of before a Justice of the Peace. That is the chief, the prigcipa! alteration, and the law still stands as it was passed in 1793, declaring that wherever slaves exist in a Territory, they are held under the laws thereof. If that Act of Congress is constitutional, Popular Sovereignty in the Territories clearly exists according to the Constitution and the laws. No man can deny that conclusion, provided the Fugitive Slave Act is constitutional, An Inptan Honter Soot.—Capt Williams, a Mississippian, of Indian notoriety, who hes figured conspicuously on many occasions in the wanton butchery of Indians, in this and Colusa counties, bas at last met the fate which many think hé deserved, and which we are led to believe is correct from the fact thoee living in the neighborhood are taking no steps to have the perpetrators arrested, The circumstances of the case as related tous are substantially as follows: Williams bas been living with a squaw, on his ranch, on Stony creek, near the boundary of Tebama aud Colusa conunties, for & long time, and, having been affected with a disease of the eyes, went lately to San Francisco for medical advice. On returning home, he found his squaw bad decamped, which irritated him considerably, and he resolved to find her at all hazards. In his search, he came across a sqaaw whom . all its parts, Fifteen or twenty years ago a case arose in Pennsylvania koown as the case of Prigg vs. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and in that case the Court decided that the Fugitive Slave Law was constitutional in Again, only -one year ago, the Supreme Court made a decision in the case of Booth, of Wisconsin, declaring that the Fugitive Slave’Law is constitutional in all its parts. Thus you find that the Fugitive Slave Law, as it now stands on the statute book, is constitutional in all its provisions.’ One of its provisions is that, if a person is hefd to service or labor in any of the States, or in either of the organized Territories, according to the laws thereof. From this it is plain that slavery exists in tue Territories the eame as in the States, under the laws thereof. If the people want . slavery, they will pass laws in favor of it; if they do not want it.they will pass laws . against it. . But the Supreme Court did not leave this . matter open to inference when they deliv. ered their opinion in the case of Prigg vs. —————— The Commonwealth of Penneylvania. The; Tae Folsom merchants have agreed to Coart, in delivering their opinion, eaid that . break only half the Sabbath on and after “the state of slavery is a mere municipal . the 21st inst. regulation foanded upon and limited to the range of Territorial laws.’’ Tbat is the precise language of the Court, and it goes . as far in bebalf of Popular Sovereignty as he supposed knew where his squaw wife was, but she denjed the assertion, whereupon he threw her down and put his foot upon her throat, and either choked her or broke her neck. The Indians, after this, watched an opportunity of revenge, and he, knowing this, avoided them. About a week . ago they made up their minds to have him, come what would, and assembled in front of his house at night, set fire to his front porch, and waited to see him come to the door. In ashort time he opened it and seeing the Indians shut it hurriedly, but before he could make his way from it a ball pierced the door, and entered his breast, He died on Sunday morning, October 14th. —([Red Bluff Independent.
