Mevada Democrat.
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

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

the captain of the British ship Gladiator, by

caping therefrom, shall be delivered up. justification.
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

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.
