THE RIGHT or IssTaUcrroN.

4 fcs years ago. especially during the struggle to
nutilate the reeorls of the Senate by expungng
tbereom record Of the judgment Of that body adverse
10 certain proceedings of Gen. Jackson, il was pro-
claimed cardinal doctrine OF partisan Democracy
that Representative must be guided implicitly by
the ascertained will of bis constituents aud that
United States Senator, being at any time instructed
by the current Legislature OF his State to support or
oppose any pending measure must either obey the
mandate or resign his seat We did not assent TO that
docrine vet we saw SHINE OF the ablest and most pat
otc Senators driven from their seats in pursuance
of its dictates.
But times have changed, and men with them Mr.
Isaac Toucey of Connecticut protesting to represent
that State in the Senate, ostentatiously detes and
spits upon the Democratic doctrine of Instruction.
He cannot deny that the instructiug Legisaturo' 's
fresh from the People" that il was elected ex-
pressy on the issue of opposition to the repeal Of the
Missouri Restriction. Yet he defes its in n'tructions
denounces its general course and appeals to Philip
sober with more guso than any "aristocratic Bank
Federal whig' ever did in the pleuituie ofJacksous
power He virtually tells the Legislature to mind 'ts
proper business and let him do he peases respect
ing Slavery in the Territories he maintains the right
of the first few thousand squatters who may happeo
TO get into new Territory 10 curse " WIN e'o'""
Slavery although the interest of Connecticut and
every other State in the Public Lands therein included
should be diminished one-half in value by such desc
Grafton, and though the OF Connecticut should
thereby be virtually precuded FROM settling in said
Territory. Aud Mr.. Toucey jus6es all these inter
polations into the Democratic creed by proposition
alike novel aud outrageous. He does not regard him
self lie tells u.s. as representative of Connecticut.
but only of The Democratic party of said State; aud so
long as this party susains his course, he don't caro-
what large majority of his fellow-citizens may cay
or think of il.
We only call attention to these facts not caring at
present to comment them One Of these days 1t
nay be convenient for Sham Democracy again to pro-
fess faith in the doctrine of Instruction; and then we
may see fit to remind II Of the present attitude and
utteranccs of Mr. Isaac Toucey.
New-York daily tribune., 1854-07-08
OEFALCATlOyS,

The discovery Of great crime is like thunder
storm; it excies awe, apprehension possibly creates
panic; but it leaves the atmosphere clearer and purer
than il was, And We believe the recent astound-
ing frauds will lead to precautions and safeguards
which will render such frauds henceforth morally i'm
possible. So long as there confidence, faith, mu-
tusl trust, among men-as there must be in all civil
lied communites-there will be frauds from time to
time exposed-developiDg moral rottenness in quar-
tiers where it had been previously unsupported The
resulting shock ia painful but salutary. 1t teaches
that we have no right to substitute implicit conf
dence in any mans integrity for reasonable prudence
watclfrlness precautiop. An individual has no right
50 20 DO in his own case; much less when he is act.
New-York daily tribune., 1854-07-08

In the Senate, yesterday, Mr.. ALLEN of Rhode
Island submitted series of resolutions, passed by the
Legislature Of that State, denounciDg the passage of
the Nebraska bill the Fugitive Slave Law and against
the acquisition of new territory. The bill making ap
propratiOns for the construction Of military roads in
Washington and Nebraska Territories was passed.
The private calendar then taken up, and twenty
Senate and six House bills were passed. The Senate
adjourned till Monday.
In the House of Representatives the vote Of Thurs
day evening rejecting the Civil and Diplomatic bill was
reoOnsidere1. The appropriations of Si52, 500 for
completing Custom-Houses and Marine Hospitals,
and $3.50 600 for the purchase Of the Assay building
In this City, agreed to, and the bill then
passed by vote of ~ TO g. The House then ad-
iourned.

The shock from the intelligence of the Baltimore
Railroad massacre receives an accession of horrors
in the teegraphc news we have of one on the great
Western Rsilroad-seven persons being Killed and ten
wounded, some Of the latter beyond recovery. This
road for upward Of two hundred miles, has numerous
embankmcnts very insufficient fences and no adequate
police. 1t is exposed to be crossed by cattle
ST almost every turn, and accordingly accidents,
s0-csed must be habiual from that cause-ss in the
present instance.
We have Conventions for many ends-even the
settlement of Amazonia is not forgotten, or the
spiritual wants of cannibals. Suppose We have a
Convention, rightly constituted and efficiently repre-
sentative to devise federative code of laws for the
protection of travellers throughout North America
We seem to forget that internal improvements do not
benefit men whom they kill

When man is accused Of being somebody's chat.

Nature or of Natures God but of Virginia. Ala
hama. or some other barbarian Safe wherewith We
are unbapply connected, there ia prompt mastering
ard hurryng of all the forces Of the Ution to throt
tie the guilty Of having been robbed OF his lber-
ty from birth. and force him back into everlasting
bondage. But when man stealing kidnapper Is de-
tected and deuounced-one who has stolen freeman
and sold him into everlasting bondage for paltry
gain-we see no such alacrty, such zeal, no such
array of force summoned to cOnsgn him to the pun
ishment which the laws even Of slayeholding States
provide for him. Is this fair
We learn that Merrill, the alleged kidnapper Of
Solomon Northup, free coored citizen of this State.
who was thereby subjected to twelve years Of inhu
man bondage and suffering as slave in Lousiana,
was yesterday morning arrested near Goversville in
Fulton County and fully identified by Northrup as the
villain who stole and sold him into Slavery We pre-
sumo there can little be doubt of his guilt.
Well: does any man suppose that the arm OF tho
Federal Government will be stretched out to insure
his conviction that Judges, Marshals Commission
ers, District Attorneys, soldiers &c. will be rallied
into superbuman activity in order to insure the eK-
ecution of justice on this culprt! Who is 80 green

AGRICULTURAL ADDRESS.

The opening Address at the Virginia Agricultural Fair
Richmond, was delivered on Wednesday morning by the
Hon. WILLIM BALLARD PRESTON, formerly Secretary of
the Navy 1t aproduoon of great interest elaborate
but tedious presenting great array of encouraging
facts couched in glowing and attractive language The
suboined paragraph gives graphic and inspiring view
Of the resources Of the Old Dominion
ga kind and bountful Providence has blessed us to an
extent unsurpassed Situated in the heart of the Con-
ederacy Virginia embraces within her limits extent Of
territory greater than any of the original members Of
the Union. Fronting the Atlantic coast, her regions
spread out to great extent along its shores, beau
fully diversified with hills aud valleys, mountains and
plains, that reach to the Tennessee and Ohio
western border Her climate is mild and genial enabling
people pursue their labor in the open air longer
periods than almost any the continent; subject to
extreme vicisstude of cold or heat Watered with abun
dant showers during the whole year maturing the crops
its soil produces with rapdity certainty and perfection
adapted the growth of corn, wheat tobacco, yege
tables, all the cereals to temperate climates
with fruits and flowers in perfection and beauty with
bays, rivers, and fountains unsurpassed and the
suit Of ALL blessing our people with health, vigor and
longevity"
In the concluding sentences Mr. PRESTON gives
sci far wiser than that which too often flows from the
pen and the lips Of the politician and the partisan He
suggests happily how Virginia may attain true indepen-
dence by cultvang the qualities of sedependence and
selfreance and how she may acquire glory greater
than that produced by the clash of the cangor of
the battlefield:
"Our resources, our capital, labor abundant
and adequate to supply wants Diversity your occu
patton you diversity your crops for security and profit
Bring the agrculturist the mechanic the manufacturer
side by sde and increase the profits the labor Of ALL
Shall be told that the habits and opinions of peo
pie opposed to it, that the experience of the past
nds it better and cheaper to purchase them from the
North Gentlemen the painful experience of the present
is beginning to tell tale not yet fully revealed 1t be-
gins tell Of obligations violated of anarchy and con-
fusion is teaching the lessons of selfdpendence and
selfreance 1t is teaching the South to look to the
South Let then resort to mines our rivers,
our workshops and factories and people. Let
stand the banks of the James, of the Appommatox
the Shenandoah the Roanoke the Ohio, and make them
command and bidding do the labor of ten thousand
hands. When you do these things, then indeed will you
have improved your agricultural condition. then will you
have secured permanent prosperity and repose then,
and until then will you have established
on your own shores and in your own harbor; then will
you have your command the treasures Of the land and
the treasures of the sea-

SLAVERY IN KAssAs.-Some few days ago the Platte
Argus, located at Weston, Missouri the most violent
spouter Of nggersm in the West and the bent on
making Kansas negro State, demanded Of the editors Of
papers published in Kansas Territory that they should
come out" the slavery question: and let the world
know at whether they for against the intro
ducton of slavery into Kansas.
The editor of the Leavenworth Herald" (the only
paper published in Kansas Territory who is himself
Southern in his leanDgs, quietly tells the Argus" man

themselves the negro question, but differ respectfully
and amcaby and that they TO settle the matter to
