THE NULLrcATIoN OF RIGHTS BY THE DENIAL
OF REMEDIES

OF REMEDIES.
The doctrine announced by Judge Douglas that
il is 'lawful" TO refuse the remedies necessary to
give effect to acknowledged constitutional rights is
not new thing under the sun. The doctrine that
the squatters of the territories may "exclude" sa-
very by "unfriendly legislation" by denying to
the stakeholder the means of obtaining enforc=
ing his rights, is one which was preached and acted
upon before Judge Douglas announced it at Free
port.
The States Of Massachusetts,, Ohio, Vermont and
others have been practising upon the doctrine now
promulgated almost since the passage of tho
Fugitive Slave Law by Congress. Thatlaw gave the
right of reclamation to the owner of fugitive slaves
escaping into the free States; but Massachusetts,
and other of those States undertook to nullify
the law by denying those remedies and means
of enforcing it, without which every law is a
dead letter. They made it criminal offence for any
citizen to render aid in the arrest of fugitive slaves
They denied the of their ails to the federal Of
fcers for the detention Of captured fugitves They
forbade the officers of the State from using their off
cal powers for the capture of slaves pain of the
forfeiture Of Office. In this they well-ngh
succeeded in rendering the fugitveslave law dead
letter, almost everywhere in their borders. Such
are the means by which Judge Douglas now says it
is "lawu" for the Territories tonuify the principles
of the bred Scott decision
And what is the doctrine on which these laws pro-
coed Why, it is the old doctrine of mobilization ;
the doctrine that the local jurisdiction may nullify
laws of Congress, nulify rights existing under the
federal constitution--not, indeed, by express and
direct laws, declaring the enactments of Congress
null and vod and denying the validity, within the
States of rights conferred by the federal consttu-
ton but by laws withholding denying those
remedies without which rights are of no avail.
The doctrine Of Judge Douglas is even worse than
that on which Massachusetts, acted in setting the
FugitiveSave law and the officers of the federal ju-
dietary at defiance for hers the action at least
of a sovereign State, with fixed community and
settled population having the right in extremity, of
Judging the constitutonalty of an obnoxious law of
Congress-. But Judge Douglas claims this right
Of action for Territory, mere ward and de-
pendant Of Congress, although having but few
hundred thousand people, unstable of purpose
and interest with no fixed public sentiment or
sense Of public duty and obligation. If an old
and settled sovereign State may not repudiate
and nullify rights guaranteed by the constitution,
how much less can dependent, unorganized Ter
ritory, filed with squatters and adventurers from
all the corners of the EARTH do this high-handed
thing

Mr.. REvERDY JOHNSON AT VARIANCE WITH
HIMSELF

HlMSfllIt.
We have hitherto refrained, and we intend to re-
frain, from noticing tho extraordinary letter Of the
Hon. Reverdy Johnson, assaulting the principles
and policy of the present administration in regard
to Kansas and defending the of Senator Doug
las. A correspondent has furnished us with copy
of published letter from this gentleman, dated at
Washington on the 9th Of March last, and addressed
to Messrs. B. III. Richardson, B. c. FRESHMAN, and
J. J. Graves the committee of invitation to demo
cratic meeting held at Baltimore and advised us to
publish this letter in parallel columns with the late
epistle of Mr.. Johnson addressed to Judge Douglas
With due Difference, think the subject is not
worthy of the space it would occupy. But we shall
give sample of that gentlemaus letter of the 9th
of March, by publishing its three Introductory
fences, from which the reader may infer the char
acter of the whole aud we append to these few
sentences from his late letter oIlinos His letter to
the Baltimore committee of the 9th of March, opens
in the following strain:
WASHINGTON March g. 1858.
Messrs, B. II. Richardson, b. G. FRESHMAN, and J. j.
Graves, Committee of Invitation:
GENTLEMEN: My engagements in this city will deprive
Of the qualification of attending the meeting the
Sth instant TO which you have been good to invite
me- should like much to witness the hearty goodwill
with which orr patriotic citizens uH dprore The policy Of he
President recommending The admission Of Kansas into the
Unioa nth her Lecomrfon constitution.
The time has when this disturbing subject should
be put at rest and in its present condition see no safer
more e6srtual mode Of accomplishing IT,
In his late letter to Senator Douglas, however, Mr.
Johnson expresses himself thus speaking of the ac
ton Of the President on the Kansas question
THAT the President acted conscicntiously and he
believed, for the BEST have doubt but very many
of his truest and fastest friends entertained different
opinion There thought that the proper course to
submit the matter TO Congress, without executive
dorsement sapprobation, to be disposed of that
body might deem best. confess that this my own
opinion.
In one letter he thinks all patriotic citizens will
approve Of the action Of the President IN recommend
ing admission under the Lecompton constitution In
another he asserts that he himself and many Of the
Presidents truest and fastest friends thought be
ought 10 have made no recommendation at all.
