full power to prevent slaves from being brought into this State for merchandise. And this was all done while yet territo. ry--their sovereignty was yet in abey- ance
 Although MT. Yancey seems to think, that as soon as this Convention met, on the 9th of July, 1919, that they were inn mediately clothed with the undoubted power to exclude or admit slavery as the Convention thought proper,--but before that time, neither, the people nor Con- gross had the right to touch the question. That is in other words, gthe people or Congress had any right to meddle with the subject matter of slavery in the terri tory of Alabama, on the 4th day of July, 1919, but the very next day (5th) they were clothed with the undoubted power to admit or exclude slavery as they might think proper. Now, Mir. Yancey, just tell us, if you please, who it was that conferred this nasty but ample power up on the people of the Alabama territory in one short night? It could not have been Congress, according to the Democratic Platform as laid down by the Baltimore Convention, or in Gen. Cass' letter to Mir. Nicholson. for all of them agree that Congress has no right to interfere in the matter. Now if my law is right, q vouch for my tacts,) then I hold that the power to admit or exclude slavery in any of the territories is a power inherent in the people themselves-and that all free gov ernments are founded on that authority and instituted for their benefit and there lore they have, at all times, an inalienable and an indcieasible right to alter, reform, or abolish their form of Government in such manner as they think best. There is no doubt but that they will take care ot themselves and the vexed question of sla- very, which has been kept alive by the joint efforts of the aspiring men of the North and Sonth--it would have died away long since but for their efions.- Leave that question where it is in the hands of those who are interested, and they will take care of it. No slave hold CT will think of carrying his slaves to Or egon or any other cold and frozen region, where slave labor would not support It. self
 If any of tho inhabitants of the free States or territories should think proper to come among the inhabitants of the slave States or territories, why we will welcome them as members of our politi. cal families, unless they should attempt to interfere with our institutions, then we should regard them of course not our friends.
 Now if the power to regulate the insti- tuition of slavery be not in Congress, (and l do not think it is,) then it follows as matter of course that it is lodged in the hands of the people. fnot in their hanJs, perhaps Gen. Taylor will, some of these days, explain the whole matter to the en- tire satisfaction of Mir. Yancey and his South Carolina and Florida friends.

We can speak from personal cxpcri- ence that this fine and superb steamer is one of the most pleasant and comfortable boats on the waters of the Alabama.
