The Cincinnati Gazette of the I'd contains the fol-
lowing incident connected with the burning of the
steamship Austria:
lady resident of this city, arrived home yester-
dsy from a visit TO Europe, where she has been
spending the past few months. A short time pre-
vious to the sailing of the Austria the lady sent
the amount necessary for cabin passage to New
York, to the agent at Hamburg, with instructions
to select her good state room He did as directed
with the exception Of giving her desirable loca
ton in the vessel, and on her arrival in Hamburg,
to sail with the steamer, she found the vessel so
crowded with passengers, and the room assigned
her 60 undesirable, that she concluded 20 take pas
sage in another steamer. With this intention che
annlied to the agent for the return Of her passage
money. but he declined to refund "a bargain was
a bargain" with him, and the lady was either com
peled "a accept such quarters had been assigned
her, or 70 return by another vessel and lose her
passage ticket She determined 10 adopt the latter
course, and at secured state room in another
steamer.
After her arrangements had been made, and be-
fore the Austria sailed, feeling took possession of
her mind that the vessel in which she hal taken
passage would meet with some terrible accident
and that she herself would in all probability BE- LOST
So we'll satisfied was she that something C0ubd hap
peu. lust as people frequently borrow trouble
without waiting for it to along naturally, that
she determined 20 send her JewelTy by the Austria.
She therefore stripped herself of every hiUg valua
BILE watch and chain, pins, rings, breaches &c1 TO
q considerable amount, and packing them securely
in a cssket committed them to the care Of the Cap
tain of the Austria taking the pEecauion 10 inform
her friends Of what she had done, in order that they
might recover the property III cas- her oW2 ground
less fears in regard TO herself SHOULD be realized
The result is we'll known. The vessel N which
the LADY took passage arrived safely its destina
ton That which she had been prompted TO leave,
even at considerable loss, with It's load Of human
beings, met with fate that appalled, tie Stpasest
hesrts It is needless 70 sdd that the lady Is eonT

The Bonner states in its issue Of yesterday 1at
according to the opinions Of Senator DAVIS ana
ourself the people Of territory may lawfully sH-
oiude slavery before it becomes State We and no
such opinion in any Of mr. DAVIS speeches VINE
In our own article on this suelees we expressly
maintain that neither the people Of atefrliory nor
the LerisSture thereof can lawfully exclude slavery
before Il becomes State. If the territorial Legs
aure refuses to afford protection to the property Of
It's citizens Ct is the duty OF the federal Judgesto
snforosithe common law, which if properly admin
istered VIII secure The ihhabtents Of territory7n
the possession Of their slaves and other property.
Senator DAVIS contends however, thats the sent
psnt Of any Community s opposed to.slayery't F7l
be almOst impossible to apply the legal remedy for
the protection of The rights Of slave oWRsrs UP>
der the fugitive slave law, the OWner has legal
right to recover his property wherever he eaa fad
it. But in 8 State like Massachusetts, where me
community is opposed to the law, it is very dieat
to enforce l.. If the people Of Ksnsas are nntEleR
b to the introduction Of slavery nosthe territory
ami should consequently refuse to assist owners 70
recover their slaves or 10 keep them in suhjec0on
while It would be the duty Of the federal authorities
70 afford such assistance, they would be, in msny
cases, unsbe to do so, 1t is the duty Of the local
Legislature also to protect the property Of the oi~
gems Of territory but should it refuse to do So we
know of no means, by which its Members can be
compelled to perform this duty. The Banner in
attributing 10 us the sentiment that a territorial
Legislature may lawfully exclude slavery assigns US
sPosition, directly opposed to that which We Oc-
cnPy. .a --... ---.-s.,.a ia -..-...
Our neighbor has abandoned the point which il
endeayored to make, short time since, that Mr..
BUCHANAN maintained the doctrine Of Squatter
Sovereignty. We we're certain that he was unac,
quaintsd with the sentiments set forth in the Inaur
gural Address aud the bred Scott Decision, and felt
disposed to excuse an error which wewerepersuadEd
was unintentiOnaL We hope our neighbOr will here
after consult the records of the country before he
ventures to discuss the positions Of public men on
grave questions Of public policy.
