slave Code for the Territories.
The Dred Scott opinion psoelAins that the
Constitution Of the United States carries
Slavery into ell the territory Of the nation,
and that every citizen 10 entitled under the
Constitution to take his slavcs, ~ property,
into the territories Of the United States and
to be protected in the possession and enjoy
msnt Of il. 1t follows. then, directly and
logically, from this position, that the Con-
gress OF tho United States 10 bound by its
allegiance to the Constitution TO enact such
laws for the territories a. will secure the
Shareholders in their Constitutional rights,
and will provide adequate penalties against
all persons who shall attempt to interfere
with or deprive the STAKEHOLDER Of the right
to the possession and enjoyment Of his
property. That is, Salve Code for the ter
ritories 10 the natural and logical sequence
Of the Dred Scott doctrine. The South 10
entirely consistent IN making the demand
II il just and reasonable demand, or else
the bred Scott doctrine 10 unjust and unrea-
sonable. The bred Scott doctrine estab.
fishes Slavery, and denies the constitutional
right and power Of Congress and Of .h.
Territorial Legislature to abolish or inter.
dict it. Then it follows ms d matter Of
course that Congress il bound by their obi
cation to the Constitution to provide for th,
protection Of the property which il reeog
mixes, and Slave Code, fashioned after tn,
Southern States, 10 the consistent, prope
and necessary sequence Of the bred Scot
doctrine. Dare the Democracy give us thi

Daniel E. Sickles, the Buchanan Congress-
man who Was elected from the City OF New
York, by the aid Of the United States Army
and Navy, under the orders Of the Com
mander-in Chief, James Buchanan, is very
foul exponent Of the character and princi.
plies Of the, National Democracy. Here is q
brief extract or two from tecent speech Of
his, in which he pitches into his brethren Of
the harmonious" party and the balance Of
mankind. He said to his friends:
ssYou had to encounter oil that lie fanatic
al and profigate in Republicanism all that
is proscriptive and bigoted among the Know
Nothings; and all that is factious, mean and
infamous in the Democratic party. We have
beaten this combination, routed this coal-
ton, and scalped the renegades w God, Tuck
or, Dickson, Schell. Birdsall, and Walbridge,
who commanded the corps Of 'spies and de-
serters' from the Democratic camp"
Among the many good things that he said
was the following:
'sMr. Wood stated, falsely, of course, at
the First Ward meeting, that among the
things that did last December, to defeat
him, was to get somebody or other pardoned
from the Penitentary to oppose him. The
statement was not only untrue but absurd.
No one, believe, has yet suspected me Of
being IN idiot, and none but simpletou
would expect . man who had ever been sen.
tenced TO the peniten.iary to oppose Wood
II the cells had been full last December
Woods vote would not have been 30 large
