Here is gain of nine Senators, with a
less OF one, viz: Pugh instead of Chase in
Ohio.
The election in Indiana for Senators, will
hardly take place, SO that in reality the
Democratic party will have lost ten Sena-
tors. since it commenced the war upon Free
Principles.
In the House Of Representatives there
will be very nearly as many real R"pnbli-
cans as there are now, and in another Con-
gress, if the Pro-slavery policy is continued,
there will probably be Republican ma
joritv.
Mr. Buchanan will strive TO solve the COM
plcated problem presented to him, but the
problem is not solva5le by anything but
a change Of principle. One thing he may
do and will probably attempi-try, by favor
ing and advancing commercial treaties and
commercial enterprises, to divert the nation
al attention to other subjects. This would
be wise policy. and be commended by con-
siderations of patriotism and pride.

In .oeskinp of Slavery. he ssrs

On the delicate and exciting que ,tioa Of
slavery, subject which so peculiarly en-
gagged the attention of Congress at the pas
sage OF our Organic Act, cannot too car
nestly invoke you TO permit il TO remain
where the Constitution of the United States
and that Ac. place it. subject 10 the decision
of the courts upon ail points arising during
our present infant condition.
The repeal Of the Missouri line, which
wrs q restriction on popular sovereignty,
naew consecrated the great doctrine Of self
coycrnment. and restored TO the people their
fall control over every question OF interest
TO themselves, both North and South OF that
line.
Chspter ISL, relating to "siares," attacks
the equality which under.ies the very theory
of our Territorial Government; destroys the
Esedom of speech and the privilege of dis
cussion, 80 essential to uncloak error and
enable the people properly TO mould their
institstions 10 their own way. The free
dom Of speech and of the press. and he
right of public discussion upon all matters
affecting the interests Of the peosle, are the
orea constitutional safeguards Of p0pu lar
rights, liberty and happiness.
And alec there is not q single officer in
the Territory amenable to the people Or The
Governor, ali having been Appointed by the
Legislature, and hold their Offices till 1857.
He says that homestesds should be held
sacred. and is in. favor Of assuring To every
industrious citizen one hundred end sixty
acres Ct land.
This is but small part Of the Message.
