MIR. Owens opinions on Slavery i'm the
Territories.

We invite special attention TO the report given N
paper Of to-day of much of Mr.. Owens speech
in this city, relates the question Of tie exisenc'
and introduction of Slavery in New Mexico aud Cali
f0rna. He treats it, as it ought to be treated as o
legal question; and the array Of authorities he hat
adduced must convince every one that, at this mo
ment there is Slavery in these territories, and tina
the Supreme Court, whenever the question comes VI
before them, must so decide.
We believe Judge Mclean concurs in this view o
the subject. Judge Bronson, formerly of the Suprem
Court of the State of New York has also recently
pressed similar opinions, in reply to invitation t.
attend Van Buren, meeting. 1t is highly important
that the matter should be generally discussed for i
the view taken by Mr.. Owen be generally ad
mitted, it is clear that shareholders will not rsl
taking their slaves into those new Territories; anC
the object proposed by the Free Soil will be fully
attained.
With General Cass as President we are secured
even against the action Of Congress in this matter
for he would interpose his defeat any bill pro
vding for the establishment nf slavery in our newly
acquired possessions With General Taylor as Chic
Magistrate no such security exists. No wonder
then that so few Democrats opposed slavery extern
sion think it necessary to desert ranks, while
the Wings 90 over to Mr.. Van Buren, in crowds
That General Taylor would suffer bill introducing
slavery into New Mexico aud California to become
law, no can doubt.
We hope that the remarks of Mr.. Owen may OBJ
tain wide circulation, aud with this view every de-
mocratic paper in the Stale is requested to publish
them. The questsn is more than party one it is
national in most extended Of term.

day last, J. A. Van Dyke said: "For the sake of Fill

should do for the love they bear Fillmore" The
words may not be the same, but the idens Twen-

that Taylor had repudnted poor Fillmore and accepted
nomination with Butler! We are not surprised
Taylor said in a speech at New Orleans, that "the
country owed General Butler debt of gratitude. and
he hoped it would be paid" This pays Fillmore of,
for it was said at Buffalo that he had declared his
willingness TO accept nomination from that body.

some Of their "whig friends" on the com.

no one accepted. The Wings in the house
knew better what was coming than large
portion of the democrats.

THE TREATY-PEACE.

By reference to the telegraphc news in
to days paper, i, will be seen it is stated
the Peace Treaty has been passed by a ma
lori,y Of the Senate. A two, thirds vote is
necessary TO raiify.
1t is possible, and probable, that the
news of the passage Of the treaty is cor.
rect-but from all the information we
gather from Washington, we are led 10 be.
lieve that two.thirds of the Senate will
not vote for its ra'iication-nor even a
majority. Its rejection, however, we trust,
and believe, does not shut out a reasonable
hope for an early peace. The President,
his Cabinet, and Organ, are all understood
to be anxious for peace; the Senate is also
anxious to have peace restored, but many
members are known to be opposed TO the
treaty. 1t is generally supposed, that upon
the rejection of the treaty, Peace Com
missioners would be appointed, who would
proceed at once to Mexico, and conclude a
treaty, shorn Of the Objectionable featur es
of the present one, which, we see it stated,
Mexico will readily conccde.
We sincerely trust all this may prove
true, and peace be speedily established
and in this, we but express the feeling Of
the country.
