AccIDENr<-Dr. S. P. Miller of this city, was
knocked down and run over by a horse and chaise.
while crossing Main street, last evening. The
wheels passed over both legs, and he was stunned
by the fall, but no bones were broken, and his
hurts are not considered dangerous. The driver
of the chaise continued on his way, at full speed

his recklessness had caused.

Eloquent Reply of MIR. Banks.

During the tendency of the Speakership il
will be remembered that the candidates were
Intercepted uron some points, and replied
We have now the reply Of Mr.. Banks. The
question propoundeJ to him was
cam right in supposing that his theory
is, that the Constitution OF tn, TN ted States
does not carry Slavery to, and protect it in,
the. Territories Of the United States?"
To which he gave. answer as follows:
lido not believe that the Constitution Of the
United States carries the institution of Slavery
to the Territories Of the United States. My
understanding is based on he declaration Of Mr..
Webster, that even the Constitution Of the
United States itself does not 60 to the Territor-
les until it is carried there by an act Of Con.
gres. Standing on the principle OF the Eng
lish law governing the same interests, I do aot
believe that the Constitution Of the United
States carries to any Territory Of the United
States any right to hold slaves there.
I have nothing further to say on this nice
and delicate question. believe that the Con-
%stitution of the United States was intended to
dojustice to all sections Of the country-to the
South equally with the North. I am for that
to-day; and I adopt he language of my friend
Mr.. Richards on,) who has always treated
me with distinguished courtesy in all discus
sions on this subject, that we should do justice
to the South, as well as to the North. In no
speech or declaration that has fallen from my
lips, so far as l can remember i, have ever
expressed a different sentiment: but, sir, / can
not shut out from my memory the great fact
that the Constitution of the United States is
an instrument Of Freedom, contemplated as
such by its trainers, and interpreted as such BY
all men of the South and the North until with
in the lastfew years. 1t is a chart Of Freedom,
established to secure the blessings of liberty to
ourselves and our porterity, giving liberty to
the States to do what they shall think proper
within their own localities, under such circum-
stances as to them shall seem to be right and
just, but claiming no right and conceding no
right to them to carry their own peculiar in
stitutions beyond the limitations conferred by
the doctrine of the sovereignty Of States.
No, sir The Constitution of the United
States Is an instrument, not of immediate, but
CT ultimate and universal Freedom. 1t was so
c contemplated by the great men who framed it,
and the world has 50 regarded it. The nation
al flag, that is the symbol, that makes the land
over which it floats, in whatever quarter of the
globe, so long as it covers an American citizen,
American territory, is the banner of ultimate
and universal Liberty-its white and red folds,
symbols of Revolutionary trials, Of the crests
Of victory, and the blood Of sacrifice. May
its starry union forever ,emain as lustroas and
impe sable as the & slden fires # Gods frmi-
meat. lGreat applause.] This is my answer
to that question.
