Mr.. EDITOR


In my last number 1 promised
to continue review of the adjustment meas
ares. This review must necessarily be of
cursory character, and confined more partieu-
larly to the enquiry as to whether violation
Of the federal constitution and of the prin-
ciples formerly contended for by the south has
been effected, in the plan Of adjustment, as it
would be impossible in numbers of this charac-
ter to attempt to rebut the various opinions&
arguments of those, opposed to the present
compromise, as they are as varied as the fea-
lures of the human face. Weshall therefore
without farther remarks, proceed to notice
the bills establishing territorial governments
for Utah and New Mexico. And first has
Congress by their passage, violated the feder-
alconstitution?
The only clause in the Constitution of the
United States granting Congress any power
in relation to the territories is in these words,
CART. A. Sec. 3.-The Congress shall have
power to dispose Of, and make all needful
rules and regulations, respecting the terrific
~ or other property belonging to the Uni
ted States; and nothing in this Constitution
shall beso construed, as to prejudice any
claim of the United States, or of any par
ticnlar State"
a strict constructionist of the federal Con-
stitution might well doubt, how far this clause
empowered Congress to ever provide govern
ments for the territories, much less to govern
them by laws passed by Congress itself We
have before stated that the general govern
ment, was a government of limited powers,
expressed in a written Constitution, and the
exercise by Congress Of any power, not ex-
pressed therein, q naturally arising by i'm
lplieation, is q violation Of that instrument.
If this be true and we doubt if any one viii
dispute the proposition, let US see how far IN
der this grant Congress can exercise power
over The people of the territories We are
aware that Congress has heretofore assumed
the power OF control over the people Of the
A territories under the portion Of the clause,
above quoted, and make al needful rules
and regulations, respecting the territory &C., z

The SOUTHERN RIGHTS UNION PLATFORM.


l. Resolred, That we hold the American Union
secondary in importance only to the rights and
principles it was designed to perpetuate; that past
associations. present frution and future prospects
will bind us TO it so long it continues to be the
safeguard to those rights and principles.
2. Resolved, Thatif the thirteen original parties
to this contract. bordering the Atlantic in mar
row belt, whilst their separate interests were IN
embryo, their peculiar tendencies scarcely de-
veoped their revolutionary trials and triumphs
still green i'll memory, found Union impossible
without compromise the thirty-one of this day
will Weld somewhat in the conflict of opinion and
policyto p eserve that Union which has extended
the sway of republican government over a vast
Wilderness to another ocean, and proportionately
advanced their civilization and national great
ness.
g. That in this spirit we lave maturely consid-
cred the action of Congress-, embracing series
of measures-for the admission of California in
to the Union the organization of territorial gov
for Utah and New Mexico, the estab-
lishment OF boundary between the latter and the
State of Texas the suppression of the slave trade
in the District of Columbia and tile extradition
of fugitive slaves, and connected with them, the
rejection of the proposition TO exclude slavery
from the Mexican territories, and to abolish it in
the District of Columba-and whilst we do not
wholly approve, will abide by it, as a permanent
adjustment of this sectional controversy.
4. That in our Judgments we will and ought to
resist, even las last resort to disruption OF ev
cry tie which binds her to the Union, any action
Of Congress upon the subject of slavery in the
District of Columbia, or in places subject to the
jurisdiction of Congress, Incompatible with the
safety, domestic tranquility, the right and honor
Of the slaveholding States; or in any act sup
pressing the slave trade between the savehold-
ng States, or in any refusal to admit as State
my territory heretofore applying, because ofthe
wis Of in,
libiting the Introduction of slaves into the ter
itories of Utah and New Mexico, or in any act
epealing or materially modifying the laws now
n force for the recovery offugtive slaves.
s. That it is our deliberate opinion, that upon
ne faithful execution of the fugitive slave law,
by the proper authorities, depends the prcser-
ration of our much loved Union.

sSrWe regret to find upon inquiry, that
we are, ourselves, instead of Uncle Sam, to
blame, for the failure of the Pfauaire Re
publican in not reaching our valued eotempo-
rary of the Lertngton Aarerttser In ma.
king up our last Mail Book, the address Of
the Advertiser was unintentionaIIy omitted
from our list of Exchanges by our Secretary.
1t is there now, though, and Uncle Sam will
be to blame if it does not regularly reach its
destination. If the 4drerttaer had failed,
we would have discovered the cause without
being prompted, since we most assuredly
would have missed it in our editorial reading.

was Nacaulay. whom I had not seen before;
the Queen and Prince Albert sat in box
with the Prince and Princess Royal Of Prus-
sia. Among the performers, were Dickens,
whom | had seen in New York, but not
since my arrival in London; he played like a
player, and, although his part was not much
IN itself, he made much of it. Douglas Jer-
rold l had not before seen, and could not
form q very correct idea of him in his strange
dress. Forster, the critic of the Examiner
and the author Of the STATESMEN of the
Commonwealth, amused me by his attempt
70 initiate Macready. The play itself did
not very favorably impress me; it is a COM
medy Of the time of George the First, and
some Of the characters introduced, as Curll
and Tonson, the booksellers, are historical
personages. l suppose It'll sufficiently well
known that the play has been produced for
the benefit Of what we call in America a
new enterprise for the benefit Of decay
ed or needy literary men. The society is
called the Guild of Literature and Art. It
is most honorable to the aristocracy of this
country that they lend cheerful aid to every
Undertaking for the benefit Of the workers
in literature and art. They find their ac-
