Judge McLean.

Below is an extract from a letter from Columbus
to the National Era. We know not the writer, nor
the authority on which he expresses the views of
Judge Mclean on the slave question, but we think
1t right to lay the extract before the people, The
GAINESVILLE Courier is in error in asserting that the
position here forth is the already occupied by
the Cincinnati Gazette" The position attributed to
Judge Mclean differs in some very essential parcu-
lars from that of the Gazette. If tile position as
sumed for the Judge be really HIS it maintains the
existence of much stronger legal and constitutional
obstacles to the introduction of slavery into territory
free than we had supposed, and we therefore
hope he IS right. Here is the extract.-Ctn. Gaz.
"There is good deal Of speculation ahoat in poll
tics. do not think that Mr.. Corwin's friends have
any serious expectations that he will be the Wing
nominee Judge McLean's friends are more san
guine, and, perhaps, with better reason. Consist
emily with his judicial opinions, Judge Mclean must
occupy strong ground against the extension of
slavery. This is clear inference from the opinions
expressed BY him from tie Bench in the Mississippi
and other cases.
His views are understood to be this: Slavery
being a local and municipal institution, incapable Of
being. established or continued without the sanction
of positive law, and the government of the United
States being incompetent for want Of constitutional
power, to make any law establishing or sanctioning
the system, it follows that slavery cannot conStu-
tionally be introduced into any territory Of the
United States, where it does exist the time of
acquisition, either by the Government directly, or
by the Territorial Legislature with the sanction of
the Government; and that resolutions of Congress
declaring this rule is all that Is needed to secure the
new territory. against It's introduction. In other
words, the Witmot Proriso, so far territory
already free is concerned, is in The Constitution, and
consequently Law from the moment of acquisition,
and the only effect Of resolution of Congress affirm
ing the principle is to declare that law.
This view, in my Judgment, is at once important
Il
by southern writers, and is more conciiiatory
than positive enactment, regarding the constitution
neutral the question. 1t does not go so far as
it might think, and still remain incohtrovertibe.
1t seems to me clear, beyond reasonable doubt that
slavery never had and never could have constitt-
tona existence in any territory Of the United States
in any place under the exclusive Jurisdiction of
the General Government. Still, however, the posi-
ton sanctioned by Judge Mclean is exceedingly i'm
portant, as it erects an impossible barrier to the
further extsnson of slavery on the American CONT
nent, and presents platform which all the oppo-
nents of such extension can stand together. And
this position once gained, the advance to other and
higher ones Will be comparatively easy
