No EXTENSION OF SLAVE
ny. Slavery in this coun-
try is the creature f statu-
tory law. Itexists, and can
exist, nowhere except by po-
sitive enactment. 1t can
not go to Nebraska or Kan
sas, or any other new Ter
ritory, until it is established
by the legislative power.
Now, is there a man of
sense in the Wilde country
who supposes that the Lee
gislatures Of either Of the
Territories of Nebraska or
Kansas will legalize slave-
ry? Under Mr.. Douglass
bill, as it passedthe Senate,
those Legislatures aoiU hare
the sole and unlimited control
Of The subject. Is there the
most distant probability that
they will exercise that con-
troll in favor of slavery I?
Have Utah and New Mexi-
co, both further south than
Nebraska, so exercised it?
Did California, over which
no restriction existed, so ex-
ercise it? In Utah and New
Mexico, although they have
been four years organized,
no slavery has been estab-
!ished, or attempted to be
established. In California
the Convention which form
ed her State Constitution
Voted unanimously for a sla-
Tery prohibition clause.

SOUTHERN VIEW.


From the Natchez { Mississip-
ply Free Trader.
1t is from abolitionists of
the deepest dye that the
chief opposition to the Ne
braska bill comes. Southern
men should pause long and
ponder wisely before joining
such men in the support Of
or in opposition to any pub
lie measure.
They consider justly that
the repeal of the Missouri
restriction, whatever views
may be entertained as to
squatter sovereignty, ciu be
one Of the greatest triumphs
for the South, and one Of the
greatest blows to .tree-soa that
has ever been struck. That
restriction has existed. for
more than thirty years, and
under its operation seve-
raj nop-slayeholding States
have come into the Union.
Its repeal now is q return
by the Government to the
original ground. 1t is an
authoritative declaration,
in the most solemn form,
against Congressional inter
vention with democratic in-
stitutions. 1t declares the
Missouri restriction inope-
rative, null, and void; in
other words, il declares that
the prohibition of slavery
north of 36 deg. 80 min.
shall have no further exist
ence, but that The Territories
shall hencgoracard be open to
the citizens ofMe ,ciole coun-
try 10 emigrate Mither NTH
their property.
The only point of objec-
ton with some is the appre-
hension of squatter sove-
reignty. In the first place,
whatever be the language
used, no one will pretend
that Congress can enact a
principle or a doctrine /; and
if Gen. Cass's doctrine was
expressly declared no court
could sustain it because of |
its incorporation into an act |
Of Congress; and, further,
every Southern Senator who
the bill did SO with
IN express reputation of tie
and Gov. Brown
gave it u death blow in his
'ery able and triumphant
argument.
We believe sincerely that
he apprehension is ground
ess; and We regard, more
yer, the repeal of the Mis-
'ouri restriction, linked tho
{ might be with n useless
declaration of such q prin-
'iple, rs a great constitu-
ional triumph, and a sererc
loo 10 .freesoilism.

enactment, and nothing more. Missouri had
previously been admitted
The North was the first to violate this law
Upon the admission of Arkansas, the North

Mr. Stephens was strenuous in his opposi-
ton to all legislation by Congress on the sub

to govern freemen after they had gone to dwell
in the Territories.
Mr. Stephens compared the present mani
festations OF the opponents Of the Nebraska bill

spirits expelled from heaven-to the manifest

A SINGULAR Casa year ago, while the
snow was yet upon the ground, q man, woman
and child, were begging food from, door to door
in this city. They were miserable in appear
ance. One morning the woman made call
at door for relief but before food could be
brought to her she fell and expired!
II had been observed by some few persons
that she as well as her husband was intelli-
gent, though miserable and bloated. Upon
her person was found no clothing but the one
outside garment.
The man was questioned, and it was ascer-
tanned that he had been, in England, an Epis-
copal minister. They were between thirty and
forty years Of age.
She was buried, and he was conveyed to the
Almshouse where he died in few days

placed in the Washington Orphan Asylum,
where she now is, a pretty and most interest.
ing child.
Upon such information as was obtained from
to his relations in England But an interested
relative there, it is thought, induced the belief
that the man had not been married to the
woman with whom he had come to this coun-
try, and no reply was returned.
But the evidence of the marriage Of the
wretched pair has recently been found by the
sister Of the deceased man, who is the wife Of
q Colonel in the British army, and she has just
sent an eager message for the child, whom it is
her purpose to adopt.
