The Times on Popular Sovereignty.

The Times is evidently doing its best
to extricatei tselff from the meshes ofpop-
ular sovereignty, which that paper woye
for itself some three weeks ago. The
editor, howev er, has not quite succeeded
yet In the Times of Oct. 18th, the fol-
lowing doctrines are laid down:
The doctrine of popular sovereignty as advo-
Gated by the democratic party, is simply that the
people of territory, shall be permitted to make
for themselves their ewn laws
Again,
That the people of the territories, now and
hereafter shall be left TO exercise their own free
will on the subject of slavery.
Now If the foregoing language has
any meaning, it amounts to a full dec
laration that the people of territory
have power to exclude slavery, if they
please SO to do.
The issue of the Times of Oct. Is,
amends the platform of doctrines made
two weeks previous, by admitting that
slavery is legalized in the territories,
and says that the republican and all
other parties are powerless against the
decisions Of the court. At the same
time, that paper makes the following
somewhat paradoxical statement
But the supreme court of the United States,
have not yet decided that The people of terri
tory, in the exercise of their inherent sovereign
over their own institutions NOV ,Of ,roL;b;t
slavery.
The Times must relinquish this feeble
hold on popular sovereignty, if it would
be faithful exponent of the doctrines
of the national administration. The
Presidents organ, the Washington
Union, expounds the meaning of the
bred Scott decision to be, that SLAVERY
EXISTS on ecery foot Of q. s. territory
By 0drtte Of the constitution that 1T
cannot be excluded theretron, by congress
s'o"al or territorial legislation; and that
1t is entitled to protection therein, by
an express act of the national legislature.
The truth is, this attempt to make it
appear that the people Of the territories
have power to keep slavery out of their
borders, and yet support the administra-
ton of President Buchanan, is an incon-
sistency too glazing to be persisted in
by sensible men. Some of the leading
democratic journals of the south, have
truly defined popular sovereignty as I'M
derstood by the great democratic party,
to mean, that the people of the terrific
res have power to regulate and protect
slaveryjust as they may any other matter
Of property; but no poacer to abolish or
exclude it. That is the only consistent
P osltlon for the democracy of the north
TO take, who profess to stand on the ma
tlonal democratic platform.

that the CITY Inspectors Department should be filed

was not prepared to admit that New-York was more
unhea ealthy than most other great cities; the con-
truy be might, If time would permit, be able to
show that New-York was healthier than many other
large cities. AS TO some healthy cities that lad
been named there was between them and
New-York no criterion whatever. He found from
reference to the sastcs Of London (which was said to
be much healthier than New-York, but which in for
uer tines presented records Of large mortality that in
the year 1881, which was an unusually healthy year,
20709 persona died out Of population Of 600 OOO be-
ing one in &c. The Health Wardens Of the various
Wards Of New-York not and could not well be
medical men, because physician Of any standing
would accept an Office of which the salary is so small
and the duties so arduous. The City Inspector rid-
cued the idea put forth that the City Inspector should
be physician and strongly deprecated the plans Of
Dr. Griscom. II the City Inspector should be a phy-
scian, he did hot zee why the Mayor should not be
physician under the same rule-and went into details
of the duties of his department.
The Committee adjourned till p. m. Wednes-
day, when Mr. Morton will resume his argument.
