present canvass, there WAS much that we could
approve-m to make US desire his election over
a radical Abolitiouist. The declaration noticed
above is, however. 40 complete mn abandonment Of
the only construction Of the Constitution which
can give US any security for our rights as TO rem
der us almost Indifferent to the result in Illinois
We should be glad to see the quotation above au-
thorita,ively denied by Judge Douglas. Badly as
he acted last winter. NC have hated to give up oil
hopes of him. But the man who maintains that
''the people of Territory may, by lawful means,
exclude slavery before it become, State. Is un-
true to the Democratic party aud 10 the Constitu-
ton.

PRprHESY AND frLrIILMENT.--On the 18th day
Of Sept"mbcr, Col, Jrh Davis addressed the De-
mocr,.ry Of Nliuc at Portland. Ia his speech he
,lcr,.cl that he had seen ,in'licaions Of reaction
in popular opinion, which promised AopetHhy for
TIE future ef Democracy
Wei, few days afterwards the election came
ON, and the ''re-action' was made manifest. The
Black Republicans elected their Governor by TO-
900 majority and carried every Congressional
District IN the state.
Is this what Col. jeff calls hopeful?

Douglas and the bred Scott Decision

The Mobile Register. one Of the ahlest organs Of
Southern sentiment in the country. thus clucidares
that portion Of the bred Scott decision touching
the status of slavery in the Territories:
We maintain that, under the mgi, Of the bred
Scott decision. the rights of the Sln, cholders to
carry their institutions into the Territories. are
fully and compctcntly guaranteed, practically as
we'll as thcoreically By the force Of that deci-
sion all the powers Of the Federal Go,crnment are
practically brought To sustain slavery in the Ter
riories against the effect Of any denial of local
legislation in support Of it. If the Territorial
Lcgisai lures refuse any necessary local Legislation
10 slave property in heTcrrltorics. the yir-
tues OF the Federal Constitution. which il tho su-
Hpreme law If the nation and which guarantees
the rights Of slavery there, are ample to supply the
deficiency. The Supreme Court has determined
that the Constitution contains that guarantee, and
it becomes tho duty Of both the Executive and
Legislative branches Of the Federal Government
To enforce it. Thus, notwithstanding the Kansas
Nebraska act declares that II was not the intention
OF Congress. in passing that measure to legisIatc
slavery into the Territories nor excluded it there
fron if any Federal legislation is found to be ne
ccssary, to realize the guarantees ii the Consttu-
ton respecting tho future rights 81 the slnvc-hold-
ers to settle securely in the Territories under the
obligations OF the bred Scott decision Congress

/ This is the true doctrine. II touches the whole
subject AS with pencil Of light This is the dc
cision Of the Supreme Court which nlfrms that
slavery in the Territories is entitled 10 the protcc-
ton of law. Mr.. Douglas regulates this doctrine.
and atfrms that "the people Of u Territory may,
by iamtnl means EXCLUDE slavery before it becomes

THURSDAY EVENING, NOV. IL.
The WEATHER.-Hypcrbo

The Neutrality-suspicious.
an winds have blown gaily during
the week, and clouds have obscur-
ed the suns rays, and given us
a drizzling rain or two, Heavy
coats, shawls and blankets to be
met at every turn, tell that cold,
shivering winter has come. The
little boy mufHes his throat with
his pretty, red comfort, and his
little feet that a short time since
delighted to run naked through
summers warmth, are now en-
sconced in tiny, red-topped boots,
in which he walks with all the
pomp of his happy, satisfied ma
turc. TO him winter comes as u
harbinger of happiness, and as
he lies down in his warm, little
bed at night, how he longs for the
ground to be covered with snow
in the morning that additional en-
.joymcnts may be his. And as
Christmas draws near, how his
little heart throbs with delight =
Visions Of untold hilarity float
before his imagination, and often
he asks How long now before
Christmas is hcrc?" and time is
too tardy for his impatient heart.
Oh, happy little boy, It's well you
know not the misery the future
may bring you. Little do you
know that before 81 years even
are counted to you, the remcm-
brance Of all your present happi-
ness will come only to mock you.
Life has it's seasons as well as ma
turc, but alas! when its Spring is
past it returns no more forever,
no, and none other like it.
Yes, winter is here. The for
est is turning yellow and the
winds have hoarser grown. Mcr-
ny birds that used to cheer us
with their sweet songs in fitting
from branch to branch, have van
ished with the flowers, and Grim
son leaves bcstrew the ground
And with the Summer, just per-
ished, how many bright hopes too
have been blasted! How many
fond hearts wear silent, unknown
CARDS of mourning, yet force a
smile like the faithlcss ones who
caused their misery,
