RESTRICTING SL,vRY.-Under tho Con.
s.i,ution Of tho United States. Congress ha,
the power to "dispOsc Of, and mako oil need.
full rules and regulations respecting the ter
ritory or other property belonging to the
United States" This Constitution was
ratified in Convention and received the zig.
nature Of George Washington, President
and Deputy from Virginia." on the 18th Of
September, 1857. On the 18th Of July, in
the same year, Continental Congress passed
the celebrated ordinance, in the following
words
San ordinance for tho government OF
the United States Northwes. Of the river
Ohio.
ART. 6. There shall DO neither slavery
nor involuntary servitndc in the said Terri.
tory otherwise than in punishment for crime
whereof the party shall have been duly con.
yicted' Provided always, that any person
escaping into tho same from whom labor or
service Is lawfully claimed, in any one OF
the original States, such fugitive may be
lawfully reclaimed, aud conveyed to the
person claiming his or her labor or services
as aforesaid"
This ordinance was re-ailirmed at the first
meeting of Congress, after the ratification,
in the following enactment -
+" An net to provide for the government
of the Territory northwest Of the river
Ohio -
Whereas, in order that the ordinance OF
the United States in Congress assembled, for
tho government of the Territory northwest
of the river Ohio, may continue to have full
effect, it is requisite that certain provisions
should DO made 80 rs to adopt the same to
the present Constitution Of tho United States,
etc.
Ii was rcailirmcd on the 9TH Of May, 1900,
when the Northwest Territory was divided,
and the Territory of Indiana organized.
In 1909, the Territory Of Michigan was
erected in 1909, that Of Illinois, with o
repetition of the Ordinance.
In 1890, Congress restricted Slavery with
in its limits south Of SO degrees, 30 min.
utcs.
In 1885, when Texas was annexed, the
Missouri restriction was repeated in tho
treaty with that government, which was
also compromise between the people OF the
free and slave States.
In 1886, Wisconsin; and in 1888, Iowa |;
and in lsi7, Oregon, wers organized with
the same restriction rs stated in the Indiana
act.
This was the wholesome legislation which
that seed of eternal evil, the Kansas. Sehras-
ka bill, departed from and violated in 1854.
This IL the record which the new.fanglcd
doctrine of squatter sovereignty undertakes
TO obllterate IN Y. Mirror.

Is nothing but his own unsustained declara-
ton charging uswith lihslling ani calumnia-
ting him, we are not called to defend ourselves
from charges which rest upon 20 weak .
basis. Mr.. Haines has in times past, and
years ago, suffered by the judgment and oen-
sure Of courts from the effects OF his violent
temper and plantation manners, and If he
is 50 foolish US to continue to make cxhi-
billions of his Weaknesses and render himself
in still greater degree the object Of public
dcrision, it is no business OF ours.
There is only one thing in his note worthy
Of notice. He says "I'' Augustine Haines
will, if occasion requires, repeat in the
sme manner the violation of law-will
"choke, cuff and kick, !" when think neccs-
sary. We will just whisper in his car that
in case he should, the law stands ready to
take him again, and We are quite certain
that instead Of furnishing him by fine Il will
put him, for thirty days at least, where it
will be impossible to crafty his violent
temper in the way "of official duty" or in
any other way.
One word moro and we have done. Mr..
lIaines has seen fit to give The public
another touch Of his quality through the
Democrat. These repeated exhibitions which
he makes OF himself afford as much amusc-
ment to the public as would kicking jack
ass who, securely fastened to stone post in
the streets, is carrying on the very pretty
of braying at the top of his
lungs, and kicking in every direction at the
passen by, yet hitting nobody and only
causing general smile at the ridiculous
ness ofh asinine efforts.
Mr.. Haincs may indulge in "vainlcss"
kicking, and braying through the Democrat
If he chooses. He is securely tied with the
halter which his own folly has made to the
stone post, and although he brays loud, and
lets his heels fly in every direction he will
hurt nobody, and harm nobody but himself.
When tired with making exhibitions of him
self for the public amusement and exhaus-
ted with fruitless labors, he can stop. Until
then he can go on.

The following telegraphic dispatch copied

another instance Of the manner In which tho
Southern people respect the right Of free
speech.
louisville, X, Oct. /.
Two political meetings were called here
last nigk-One by the Americans ut the
Fast Hall, and another by the Republicans
at the West Hall Of the Court House. At
the former tho Hon. Thomas l.. Jones was
chosen speaker, aud at the latte1lIon. CASH
us NJ. Clay. Mr.. G. commenced his speech
by drawing comparison between the States
OF Kentucky and Ohio As affected by slavery
when cries were made Of" Move him move
him'-"IIurrah for Fillmore" - entirely
drowning his voice., Mr.. Clay said he was
not aware that u Fillmore meeting had been
called at the same night. ...l
Voce-that makes no difference.
Mr.. Clay several times attempted to pro-
deed, but was often prevented, when free
fight took place between the opposing par.
ties.
The city marshal vainly tried to appcasc
the crowd.
At lcagth Mr.. Clay said, 81 will 60 to
East Hall and hear Col. ZONES, and when no
has closed, make my remarks"
Mr.. Jones finished his speech, and then
asked the few remaining, to listen to Mr..
Clay, who then spoke for nearly an hour,
being frequently interrupted.
The Journal (Amcricsn) says the Demo-
Gratis msde the disturbance and hurnhed for
Fillmore.
The Democrat and Times (Dcm.) say tint
the Democrats took no part In the disturb
anco whatsoever. The Democrat also rays
that the disturbance was Principally con-
fined to boys.
The Courier (Whig) says the meeting
was worthy Of pandemonium, and that the
large gang of thoughtless boys and indeccn:
men who attempted to abridsc tho liberty
Of speech, deserved the severst apprehension.
