Kubfect te the nominations of the Democratic Na tenal Convention. DANIEL 8, DICKENSON. In looking round among the distinguished . statesmen that have rendered their country . publie service, we can find none living more marked with genuine consistency and true patriotism than Daniel S, Dickenson of New York. Hebas filled different official positions in bis own State and in the councils of . the nation, as U.S. Senator. He maintain. ed for a long time. the confidence of the people of the state of New York, and in the performance of bis official duties, ably defended . the constitutional rights of every citizen and of every State in the Union, When charged in the U. S. Senate with beings Virginian in his views he replied, “If to) ~ . slavery. Keverdy Johusen on the Constitutional Requirements of Congres# to rretect Slavery in the Territories, Reverdy Johnson, formerly United States Attorney General, has written an able poper, in which he attempts to re-inforce Mr. Douglass, in his well known position that Congress i not empowered by the Constitation to pass any Legislative enactments for the protection of property in slavery in the United States Territories. Mr. Johnson bas gone farther in his views as to the powerlessness of Congress under the Constitution to legislate relative to He hae, we think, written in the main witha very commendable spirit. His disposition, whatever logical errors may be attributed to him, is evidently conservative patriotic, and constitutional, and his ideas are advanced ina clear and smooth style. As is too common with controversial writers of all classes, Mr. Johnson, at times, forgets to pay to those gentlemen no lees distinguished for mental caliber and honesty of purpose than himself, that gallant deference which, while it dignifies them reflects no leas honor upon bis own character. The true interest of mankind lies in tha) discovery of the trath. This is the mission of the real philosopher, whatever may be . . the eubject of which be treats, be it mathematical, physical, metapbysical, social or . have in our opinion, the dec ded advantage, . of both sexes. ! political. The truth exists, as it always has and alwaye will, in its eternal uuchangeablencas as God himself, and whether we behold it ourselves, or whether we are able to hold it up se others may,likewise, see it, makes no difference as to its reality ; and 0 . devoted should we be to its discovery, as to be lost to all purely personal consideration, . and, rather view those with whom we dis. cuss questions, with ardent sympathy snd . high esteem, as co-laborors in the work of . support and defend the Constitutiou of my . attaining the highest of buman objects— country entitles me to the appellation, then . truth—thao with illiberality, suepicion, or . ‘carry ine back to Old Virginoy,’ ” gud for . animosity. which assertion the anathemas of the Abolition press were visited upon bim. Regardless of the popular excitement at jearning and capacities of those whose . the North, relative to the Wilmot Proviso, and the fanaticism of many of his constituents on the Slavery question, he pursued the course he conscientiously thought proper, und be and his party suffered successive defeats. But, thank God, the day of his retirement has passed, the peoples are coming . to the “sober second thougbt,”’ and the recent election in New York indicates a) brighter futare—a eucceseful democratic ejectoral ticket in 1860. The ar ecapwstes National Democracy of New York bave. fought the bybrid Opposition perseveringly, . though legitimately for the last ten years.— . The furor of the negro question is subsiding. . The people are learning that the dogmas, . sophisms and the “irrepressible conflict” of . a Seward do not subserve the intereste of . the State or the honor of the Union. The political position of Dickinson ten yeare ago, which rendered him unpopular with the people in bis own State, to-day commands their approval. The turmoil of of the hour has passed and to-day he is New York’s choice for the Presidency. Though be may be wanting in the elements which constitute many successful politicians, although he never yielded an iota of priaciple fo satiate the cravings of public clamor or sought for mstters of buncome, we believe the Democracy of the country should nominate him for the Presidency, at the Charleston Convention. He is no new man. His public history may be read in the records of the State and Nation. His moral character—bis orthodox and consistent politics—bis ability as a etateseman—hie patriot. ism and experience—bis sacred devetion to principle, all pvint to him as the exponent of the National, Democratic, Conservative element of the country. g@ As the newly painted front of our Office seems to attract considerable atten-tion aud provoke frequent enquiries after the name of the painter, we would state that the work was.done by Mr. Essery, who may be found on Neal Street, near the corner of Mill street. We think the specimen of “graining” on the aforesaid “front” is bard to beat. Those who desire to have their work done neatly and promptly should give Mr. Essery @ call. p@ There ere said to be no less than fifty two places where liquors are sold in Grass Valley and Boston Ravine. The estmated average receipts have been es tima— ted at seven dollars per day to each place, equal to $364 per day or $152,860 per annum. Z@We are under obligations to Sullivan for a generous supply of Atlantic papers which were laid upon our table by Dorsey of Wells & Fargo’s Express—Thanks gentiemen. Ixrormation Wantep.—Information is wanted of Henry Shaw, whocame to Calffornia in 1854 from West Cumberland Maine. He was last heard from at Iowa Hill, Any one knowing of his whereabouts wil. confer s favor on his aged mother, by addressing J. B. Stone at the latter place. The nineth of May, will in all probability be fixed on for the session of the National. Democratic Convention at Charleston In that event, our Democratic State Convention, to select delegates, shonld be held as early as March. It will soon be time for our State Central Committee to take *ome action on the matter. It would have been becoming, had Mr. Johnson spoken with more respect for the . . epinions he attempts to controvert. It! would have seemed in better taste too, if he . had conceded the utmost integrity to those Aistinguished statesmen with whom be has . seen proper to differ, and whose opinions, he . with Douglas, has laboriously and methodically striven to stamp with the seal of error. We see nothing, of consequence, new in the essay of Reverdy Johnson, as compared . with the writings of Mr. Douglas upon the matter in question. The plan of the former . was doubtless, by a close, lucid and incontro . vertible system of logic to force upon the public mind, io a manager which could not by anymeans be gainsayed, the positions entertained both by Mr. Douglas and himself, We have before alluded to the incompleteness, of the views entertained by Mr. Douglas relative to the constitutional power of Congress to protect slave property in the United States Territory before there is pop~ ulation sufficient to constiiue a‘ political community.” Mr. Jobneon isa little more distinct on this point, and maintains the idea that under the constitution Congress is powerless to passany enactments regard. ing slavery in the territories at any stage of their settlement. We have no intention to attribute dishonesty to the parties that advocate either side of the question. We believe that there was an honest misunderstanding when the Kansas Nebraska Bill was voied upon, and we furtber believe that there is now ano less misunderstanding as regards the epirit of the decision of the Supreme Court in the Dred Scott case. It is well known to those who have noticed the political history of the country that the slavery agitation was reproduced, only when a new atate asked admission into the Union—as Missouri for instance, the most noted. Those opposed to slavery -fought with rancor against the admission of the state because its constitution established slavery, and those in favor of slavery, contended witb no less vigor and firmness; because the proposed state asked admission witha constitution against slavery actuated by the “ balance of power” ides no less than by other views. This contin. ued agitation, prejudical to the peace and welfare of the whole country, was deeply deplored by all traly conservative and patriotic men of the Union, anda radical remedy was most earnestly sought for, which in its application, would be, both honorable and successful. Former legislation to this end, (as the Missouri Compromise) was found to be unconstitutional and some thought dishonorable to the South, and at last the idea was conceded and poputarly supported that Congress should be the scene of no more quarreling over theelavery ques’ tion, and that when a new State asked admission into the Union, webther her constittution establishes or probibits slavery should be no matter of controversy ; but tbat, slave or free, if her constitution was republican in form, it was sufficient. And, if things had have gone quietly along al! would have been serene enough. Nobody then thought of Beecher’s Sharp’s Rifles and {illirbustering from the State of Massachusetts. It was thought when the Kansas Nebraska Bill passed, that the settlement on the public domain would go on in that same quiet just and peaceable manner which it had done for the last balf century. Northern fanatics willed it otherwise ; and, a6 unfair and illegitimate conduet generally meets with oppositon, “ border-ruffianism” rose up, and made some attempts to counteract the licentiocs forays of abolitionists, This constituted the Kansas war,which has been the beginning of a sectional feeling more hostile that ever before entertained ; and which, if not broken down, will most certainly end In the utter ruin of the country. The gist of (he whole scheme in passing the Kansas Nebraska Bill was to give equal protection to emigrants into the United States Territory from what. ever quarter ofthe United States or the world they might come, and when a portion of the federal territory became enfficiently populous to assume the responsibilities of a state government, she should be admitted into the Union. without cavil or controversy so far as ber constitution related to slavery. This was the interpretation that the Adminstration Democratic Party put on the Bill when they voted for it and the interpre: tation they still attach to it. But, whatever difference of opinion there may be in the Democratic Party, it is gratifying to know that at the bottom, they are one and the same. Itis strictly a constitu: tional party, asdistinguisbed from the Re: publican party which is fanatical and looks to the * higher law.” The difference between the Administration Democrats, and the Douglas Democrats . at the present time is founded upon a different construction of the Dred Scott decision and on this ground ; the adminstration men . orating to the muscles of Young America, . stead of cows! They don’t do any milking, . they don’t. Well, some of these men have . families which must by supported, and by . Mr. Johnson admits that Congress has no Tury are tre Same.—Frank P. Blair, Jr. a Missouri Black Republican has made & long anti-slavery epeech in Wisconsin of late. Blair is in favor of buying a portion of Central America, and setting the negroes of the United States up in plantation circumstances. Iie says that the amalgamation going on at the Seuth “is degrading to the whites,”’ while some of the party think it improves the negroes. without injary to the whites. Blair remarks, in the course of his speech, that they (the Republican Party) have inaugurated a policy, which shall be steadfastly advocated until the abolition of slavery shall be complete throughout the Union, The St. Louis Democrat sings pans to the speech and views itas an effort, betraying extraordinary intellectual lucidity.

Now here are thirty-one men who keep bars inpower to probibit slavery in the Territories Srexcen, has again favored us with his . discontinuing these bars, you would be tak of the United States, according to the Dred usnal supply of Atlantic papers. While acing both bread and whiskey from these men, Scott decision, for a portion of that decision . knowledging our obligations for these fa. women and children, besides putting a veto makes this proposition plain. It reads thus: “Upon these considerations it is the opinowning property of this kind (slave properiy) in the Territory of the United States, north of the line therein mentioned, is not warranted by tbe Constitution, and is therefore void ; neither any of his family ever were free by being carried into this Territery, even if they had been carried there by the owner, with the intention of becoming pormaoent residents.” According to this decision, if a man should new settle on that beautiful tract of land at the head of Humboldt River, with thirty slaves, brought with him from Missouri, they are NOT FREE, but sTILL sLaves. And by what authority are they etillslaves? Certainly not under the Jaws of Missouri, for here this State has no more jurisdiction than Massachusetts, Then, if they are sTItt SLAVES, according to the Constitntion of the United States, it is only by the authority of that compact that they are property. Then if they are property under the Constitution, they are property under the Federal law; . and if they are property under the federal law, Congress is compelled by the requirements of the Constitution, to use whatever means may be-neecessary for its protection. This is as plain an example of a syllogism as can be found in all logic. This neutral position, so much dwelt upon by Mr. John: son is an absurdity—an utter incompatibility. Slaves taken as such, from slave etates to the territory of the United States, are either property or not property. A neutral condition is impossible. If they are property under the Constitution, as they are so determined by the Supreme Conrt, then the duty of Congress is obvious enough; if they are not, why, there’s an end of it. This eort of talk that Congress has no right eithcr to protect or prohibit slavery in the teritories, in our minds, is clear, sheer flummery. A something is either owned or not owned ; that which is owned is owned by authority, end it is the legitimate duty of the power which grants ownership, to grant protection likewise.

LAGER, Topacco Parer.—Mr. Dixon of Lynn Mas bas patented a process for making Tobacco paper from the waste and clippings of the weed, which is even superior to the finest leaves which are usually employed for wrappers ; for the paper ie smooth, being free from the veins of the native leaf.

Tho little giant has already founded bis political “ Po. ular Sovereignty.” we Mr. Postmaster Boardman on Monday last placed a box at the Post Office delivery for the reception of contributions to the Washington Monument Fund. The receipts for the first five days were $10, 50. The total amount received thus far, as tha contribution of ‘California towards this Mount Vernon Fun d is $10,879. A pretty good begining for a ten year old State, The Placer Courier, appears to be somewhat exercised about the Senatorial election. The Courier isa Weller paper, and is desirous to adopt some plan by which ite favorite candidate will be secured un election. It very patriotically proposes, that the democrats of Placer County meet in convention to express their preference in relation to the candidates for the United States Senate. Should that plan be adopted throughout the state, we have some doubts of ite improving the chances of the Courier’s candidate. In the gubenertorial contest, we think that point was pretty well settled. Mr. Weller’s strong appeal to the people, to rescue him from the politicans, did not save him from defeat thep ; and we can see no cause for his friends to hope for a different result now. The “dear people’s” dodge is played out, and we are surpised to see an old, sagacious politician like Gov. Weller (we hope the Governor will pardon us for calling him a politician) allow his friends to use such a flimsy, bypoeritienl clap-trap. boat, in the great sea of os . with or without board, to suit the wants of all.

His disposition, whatever logical errors may be attributed to him, is evidently conservative patriotic, and constitutional, and his ideas are advanced ina clear and smooth style. As is too common with controversial writers of all classes, Mr. Johnson, at times, forgets to pay to those gentlemen no lees distinguished for mental caliber and honesty of purpose than himself, that gallant deference which, while it dignifies them reflects no leas honor upon bis own character.

The political position of Dickinson ten yeare ago, which rendered him unpopular with the people in bis own State, to-day commands their approval. The turmoil of of the hour has passed and to-day he is New York’s choice for the Presidency. Though be may be wanting in the elements which constitute many successful politicians, although he never yielded an iota of priaciple fo satiate the cravings of public clamor or sought for mstters of buncome, we believe the Democracy of the country should nominate him for the Presidency, at the Charleston Convention. He is no new man. His public history may be read in the records of the State and Nation. His moral character—bis orthodox and consistent politics—bis ability as a etateseman—hie patriot. ism and experience—bis sacred devetion to principle, all pvint to him as the exponent of the National, Democratic, Conservative element of the country. g@ As the newly painted front of our Office seems to attract considerable atten-tion aud provoke frequent enquiries after the name of the painter, we would state that the work was.done by Mr. Essery, who may be found on Neal Street, near the corner of Mill street.

Ixrormation Wantep.—Information is wanted of Henry Shaw, whocame to Calffornia in 1854 from West Cumberland Maine. He was last heard from at Iowa Hill, Any one knowing of his whereabouts wil. confer s favor on his aged mother, by addressing J. B. Stone at the latter place. The nineth of May, will in all probability be fixed on for the session of the National. Democratic Convention at Charleston In that event, our Democratic State Convention, to select delegates, shonld be held as early as March. It will soon be time for our State Central Committee to take *ome action on the matter. It would have been becoming, had Mr. Johnson spoken with more respect for the . . epinions he attempts to controvert. It! would have seemed in better taste too, if he . had conceded the utmost integrity to those Aistinguished statesmen with whom be has . seen proper to differ, and whose opinions, he . with Douglas, has laboriously and methodically striven to stamp with the seal of error. We see nothing, of consequence, new in the essay of Reverdy Johnson, as compared . with the writings of Mr. Douglas upon the matter in question. The plan of the former . was doubtless, by a close, lucid and incontro . vertible system of logic to force upon the public mind, io a manager which could not by anymeans be gainsayed, the positions entertained both by Mr. Douglas and himself, We have before alluded to the incompleteness, of the views entertained by Mr. Douglas relative to the constitutional power of Congress to protect slave property in the United States Territory before there is pop~ ulation sufficient to constiiue a‘ political community.” Mr. Jobneon isa little more distinct on this point, and maintains the idea that under the constitution Congress is powerless to passany enactments regard. ing slavery in the territories at any stage of their settlement. We have no intention to attribute dishonesty to the parties that advocate either side of the question. We believe that there was an honest misunderstanding when the Kansas Nebraska Bill was voied upon, and we furtber believe that there is now ano less misunderstanding as regards the epirit of the decision of the Supreme Court in the Dred Scott case. It is well known to those who have noticed the political history of the country that the slavery agitation was reproduced, only when a new atate asked admission into the Union—as Missouri for instance, the most noted. Those opposed to slavery -fought with rancor against the admission of the state because its constitution established slavery, and those in favor of slavery, contended witb no less vigor and firmness; because the proposed state asked admission witha constitution against slavery actuated by the “ balance of power” ides no less than by other views. This contin. ued agitation, prejudical to the peace and welfare of the whole country, was deeply deplored by all traly conservative and patriotic men of the Union, anda radical remedy was most earnestly sought for, which in its application, would be, both honorable and successful. Former legislation to this end, (as the Missouri Compromise) was found to be unconstitutional and some thought dishonorable to the South, and at last the idea was conceded and poputarly supported that Congress should be the scene of no more quarreling over theelavery ques’ tion, and that when a new State asked admission into the Union, webther her constittution establishes or probibits slavery should be no matter of controversy ; but tbat, slave or free, if her constitution was republican in form, it was sufficient. And, if things had have gone quietly along al! would have been serene enough. Nobody then thought of Beecher’s Sharp’s Rifles and {illirbustering from the State of Massachusetts. It was thought when the Kansas Nebraska Bill passed, that the settlement on the public domain would go on in that same quiet just and peaceable manner which it had done for the last balf century. Northern fanatics willed it otherwise ; and, a6 unfair and illegitimate conduet generally meets with oppositon, “ border-ruffianism” rose up, and made some attempts to counteract the licentiocs forays of abolitionists, This constituted the Kansas war,which has been the beginning of a sectional feeling more hostile that ever before entertained ; and which, if not broken down, will most certainly end In the utter ruin of the country. The gist of (he whole scheme in passing the Kansas Nebraska Bill was to give equal protection to emigrants into the United States Territory from what. ever quarter ofthe United States or the world they might come, and when a portion of the federal territory became enfficiently populous to assume the responsibilities of a state government, she should be admitted into the Union. without cavil or controversy so far as ber constitution related to slavery. This was the interpretation that the Adminstration Democratic Party put on the Bill when they voted for it and the interpre: tation they still attach to it. But, whatever difference of opinion there may be in the Democratic Party, it is gratifying to know that at the bottom, they are one and the same. Itis strictly a constitu: tional party, asdistinguisbed from the Re: publican party which is fanatical and looks to the * higher law.” The difference between the Administration Democrats, and the Douglas Democrats . at the present time is founded upon a different construction of the Dred Scott decision and on this ground ; the adminstration men . orating to the muscles of Young America, . stead of cows!

Blair, Jr. a Missouri Black Republican has made & long anti-slavery epeech in Wisconsin of late. Blair is in favor of buying a portion of Central America, and setting the negroes of the United States up in plantation circumstances. Iie says that the amalgamation going on at the Seuth “is degrading to the whites,”’ while some of the party think it improves the negroes. without injary to the whites. Blair remarks, in the course of his speech, that they (the Republican Party) have inaugurated a policy, which shall be steadfastly advocated until the abolition of slavery shall be complete throughout the Union, The St. Louis Democrat sings pans to the speech and views itas an effort, betraying extraordinary intellectual lucidity.

While acing both bread and whiskey from these men, Scott decision, for a portion of that decision . knowledging our obligations for these fa. women and children, besides putting a veto

makes this proposition plain. It reads thus: “Upon these considerations it is the opinowning property of this kind (slave properiy) in the Territory of the United States, north of the line therein mentioned, is not warranted by tbe Constitution, and is therefore void ; neither any of his family ever were free by being carried into this Territery, even if they had been carried there by the owner, with the intention of becoming pormaoent residents.” According to this decision, if a man should new settle on that beautiful tract of land at the head of Humboldt River, with thirty slaves, brought with him from Missouri, they are NOT FREE, but sTILL sLaves. And by what authority are they etillslaves? Certainly not under the Jaws of Missouri, for here this State has no more jurisdiction than Massachusetts, Then, if they are sTItt SLAVES, according to the Constitntion of the United States, it is only by the authority of that compact that they are property. Then if they are property under the Constitution, they are property under the Federal law; . and if they are property under the federal law, Congress is compelled by the requirements of the Constitution, to use whatever means may be-neecessary for its protection. This is as plain an example of a syllogism as can be found in all logic. This neutral position, so much dwelt upon by Mr. John: son is an absurdity—an utter incompatibility. Slaves taken as such, from slave etates to the territory of the United States, are either property or not property. A neutral condition is impossible. If they are property under the Constitution, as they are so determined by the Supreme Conrt, then the duty of Congress is obvious enough; if they are not, why, there’s an end of it. This eort of talk that Congress has no right eithcr to protect or prohibit slavery in the teritories, in our minds, is clear, sheer flummery. A something is either owned or not owned ; that which is owned is owned by authority, end it is the legitimate duty of the power which grants ownership, to grant protection likewise.

A pretty good begining for a ten year old State, The Placer Courier, appears to be somewhat exercised about the Senatorial election. The Courier isa Weller paper, and is desirous to adopt some plan by which ite favorite candidate will be secured un election. It very patriotically proposes, that the democrats of Placer County meet in convention to express their preference in relation to the candidates for the United States Senate. Should that plan be adopted throughout the state, we have some doubts of ite improving the chances of the Courier’s candidate. In the gubenertorial contest, we think that point was pretty well settled. Mr. Weller’s strong appeal to the people, to rescue him from the politicans, did not save him from defeat thep ; and we can see no cause for his friends to hope for a different result now. The “dear people’s” dodge is played out, and we are surpised to see an old, sagacious politician like Gov.
