The FREE NEGRO NUIsANCE-We see it stated that
there two agents or commissioners Of the Emperor
of Hay travelling in this country in order to in
duce the free negro population of country to emgate
to that island and also to urge upon the merchants Of
New York and Boston the advantages which American
commerce would derive from line of packets between
Port au Prince and those cities With the first named
object we sympathise most heartily. We hope, most
earnestly, that they will be eminently successful in re-
ieving this country of that degraded portion Of our
population. The free negros insuerabe and an
abomnable nuisance wherever they allowed to exist
Several States have abated the whole Kangaroo tribe,
and hope Others will follow their example, PennSyF
vania among the rest more especially We hope to see
the time when there will be no negros in this country
but such have legal and constitutional guardians to
restrain their nsuerable arrogance and unbuShng I'M
pudence. We go for the emigration system, and we are
ready to contribute mite to the furtherance OF the
desired object.-Phla Pea,asaIuanian

Wilmington journal. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1844-1895, 1858-09-17

In the discussion between Mr.. Lincoln and Mr..
Douglas Mr.. Lincoln asked Mr. Douglas this question
:" Can the power of United States territory in any
lawful way, against the wishes Of any citizens of the u
States exclude slavery from its limits prior to the form
alton of State constitution p
The answer to this nterrogatory (says the Pennsyl
vanian necessarily brought up the doctrines enuncated
in the Kansas Nebraska BILL in the Cincinnati PLATFORM
and also in the decision of the supreme court of the u
States In the of bred Scott. TO the support of all
these doctrines Senator Douglas was pledged in the most
solemn and binding manner. Over and over again, du-
ring the past session of Congress- and before the people
of Illinois had he terated and reiterated his devotion to
the principles involved in the above cases. They had
been the burden of all his harangues. But now came
the pinchiny point. He saw the meaning of Mr. Lin
coins question: and taking the stand once he boldly
and unhesitatingly changes his position and backs
squarely off the doctrines Of the Kansas Nebraska BILL
the Cincinnati platform and the bred Scott decsion-
Read the Senator's own words There is no installing
their meaning:
"The next question Mr.. Lincoln propounded to me
u.s. Can the people of territory exclude slavery from
their limits by any fair before it into the
Union as state? l answer emphatically Mr.. Lin
coin has heard me answer a hundred times, on every
stump in Illinois, that in my opinion the people of
territory can by lawful means exclude slavery before it
comes in as a state. " X X No matter
what may be the decision Of the supreme court on that
abstract question: still the right of the people to make it
slave or free territory is perfect and complete under
the Nebraska bill. x 4 In this connection will
notice the charge that he has renewed against me about
the Chase amendments. Now the Nebraska
bill provided that the legislative power and authority of
the said territory should extend to all rightfu SUBJ
of legislation consistent with the organic law and the
constitution of the United States. 1t did not make
any exception of slavery, but gave all the power that it
was possible for congress to give without violating the
constitution, to the territorial legislature, with
cepton on the subject of slavery at ALL Hence that
BILL in and by ITSELF gave to the people of the territory
the full power and the full authority the subject of
slavery negative and affirmative to introduce or exclude
so far as the constitution of the United States would
permit. What more could Mr.. Chase give by his
amendment? His amendment was to this
effect that the legislature should have the power to ex-
clude slavery

Remembrance.
BY EMILY BRONTE,


Cold in the earth-the deep snow piled above tb,.
Far lar removed, cold in the dreary grave eo'
Have forgot, my only love, to love thee
Severed at last by times all-severing wave2
Now, when alone, do my thoughts no longer bo,o.
Over the mountains on that northern shore 'eF
Resting their wings where heath and fern leavoo
Thy noble heart for ever, ever more? '' cover
Cold in the earth-and fifteen wild Defenders
From those brown hills have melted into snrino,
Faithful, indeed the spirit that remembers e'
After such years of change and suffering!
Sweet love of youth, forgive if forget thee
While the worlds tide is bearing me along
Other desires and other hopes beset me,
Hopes which obscure, but cannot do thee wror,
No later light has lightened up my heaven,
No second morn has ever shown for me
All my life's bliss from thy dear life was given
All my Efe's bliss is in the grave with thee.
But when the days of golden dreams had persisted
And even despair was powerless to DESTROY.
Then did learn how existence could be Cherished
Strengthened and fed, without the aid of low
Then did check the tears of useless passion
Weaned my young soul from yearning after thine
Sterny denied its burning wish to hasten
Down to that tomb already more than mine.
And, even yet, dare not let it languish,
Dare not indulge in memOry's rapturous pain:
Once drinking deep of that divinest anguish,
How could seek the empty world again?
