SCOTT DECISION DOUGLASS AGAIN
REBUkED.

The Chicago Times is engaged in al Industrious
attempt to limit and reduce the scope OF the bred
Scott decision, in order to reconcile with 1t the
declarations of Judge Douglas at Freeport, in
which the Judge asserts for the authorities OF the
Territories, while yet they are Territories, power
to exclude slavery from their limits The Judge
himself endeavored to modify the effect of his dec
larations by claiming for the territorial legsla-
tures powor to introduce as we'll to ercWde sla-
very: but either branch Of his assertion is hereti
cal and unsound. The purport of the bred Scott
decision is that slavery is egalized in the Terrific
ries without express law, proprio Vigore OF the
constitutions; and. therefore, the introduction by
exuress law is unnecessary, as its exclusion by ex
nress law would DO unconstitutional. When there
fore. Judge Douglas asserts that slavery may be
introduced or erclu0ed by territorial legislation h(
makes declaration doubly inconsistent with tht
bred Scott decision.
The line of defence assumed by the Chicago
Times, his personal organ, is that of explaining
away the language of the Justices of the Supreme
Court, and maintaining that the decision settled
nothing but one two points, which were directly
and technically before the court. When, for in
stance Judge fancy expressly declares, alludn &
to the Missouri prohibition, that Congress has nj
power to prohibits slavery in the Territories, and
that, consequently no agent of Congress IN a Ter
ritory whether it be the Ferritorinl Legislature

The Kansas ElectIon!

The returns of the recent election in
Kansas are not all received as yet, but
enough are known 10 justify us in saying
that the Consti ution Nth slavery was adop.
ted by considerable majority. The free
State men had generally declined voting,
preferring 10 follow the advice of the noto.
rious Jim Lane and other demagogues ofthe
same stamp to the sound and wholesome
advice of President Buchanan. 1t was re-
ported at Lawrence that body of men had
gone to Lecompton with the avowed inten-
ton to seize the territorial arms, and that
Lane had gone 10 Fort Scott with the inten-
ton Of destroying that place, dispensing the
pro.slavery settlers in the Shawnee reserve;
and carrying the war into the border coun-
ties OF Missouri; but subsequent advices do
not confirm these startling rumors. Cover.
nor Denver had assumed the functions of
his office; and issued an address 10 the peo.
pie. He states that the President of the
Convention had invited himself and the
presiding officers of both branches of the
Territorial Legislature 10 be present at the
canvassing ofthe election returns.-Lancas.

rage. This is excellent advice and worth
consideration. Texas, it will be remember
ed, was first colonized by American citizens
before ii was revolutonized This is what
Central America requires before it can be OF
any advantage TO the Union, or before it
can sustain itself as an independent State,
for without arts, industry, civilization or
wealth, it would be but poor specimen Of
republic. Once settle the disturbances
there, and open it as a highway to the world,
and the population that is required TO give il
the necessary stamina for Stale will soon
settle in the country, and identity of view S

which can give it the best protection and
security.

The Fort Scott Trouble.

What sort of action may be expected from
Lane and his men, may be inferred from
reading the letter which we publish to-day
from Judge Williams. 1t is easy to see, al
so, how the action of the Legislature, united
10 the disorders of these lawless men, must
have tended directly to deter the citizens oil
Kansas from voting on the 21st ult. We
hope, however, they failed of their natural
effect.-Washingto Union.
The statement of Judge Williams, Chief
Justice of Kansas, referred to above, is that
of the affair al Fort Scott, which has been
singularly garbled and misrepresented. 1t
appears that, last summer, some men, from
Lawrence or Leavenworth, drove man,
named Soulhwood from his claim, and ap-
propriated his property. They were indic-
ted, but the parties indicted made their
escape. Since tbastime, threats OF violence
have been made against the witnesses, and
one of the lawless desperadoes, named
Curry, shot Mr.. Littman. Curry was in
dicted and held to bail, but fed, and his
property was seized, under the statute, and
sold, though threats were made that Fort
Scott would be burnt if the property was
sold. Recently, an armed body Ot men
made their appearanceat at Fort Scott, proeee-
ded to the houses of Mr.. Wasson, Mr.. Gous-
ly, and Mr.. Southwood, witnesses in the
case of Curry, and violently seized them
tied them, and took them away. Since which
time nothing has been heard of them.

Revival of Trade.

In the course of the recent debate in the
Senate on the Treasury Note Bill, Senator
Seward gave this cheering view:
In my judgment the acceleration of busi-
ness is going TO be rapid just in proportion
to the rapidity with which business has de-
clned, and expect to see every day, and
every hour OF every day, marked BY rise
in the prosperity of the country, graduated

sion. The causes of the disaster are gone.

may be mistaken in this, but | am willing
TO stand by it.
The indications presented in the various
manufacturing districts Of the country, would
seem 10 give great force TO the above predic-
ton. In different parts of the country, but
particularly in the New England States, the
resumption of work is becoming quite gen.
eral aud affords the most encouraging assu-
RANGES that the causes Of the recent disaster
are well nigh removed. Among the most
recent assumptions are the following:
The boot and shoe manufacturers of Lew
istown, Maise, are resuming operations,
aud portion of the looms in the Ba'es Mills,
which were stopped in October, have CON-
menced running again. The cotton mill
of PIunkett Clapp s. Co., in Pittsfeld,
Mass, Commenced running full time on
Monday last. The Pontoosuc woolen mill
is running thfee-iourthaJi and The pa
per mills oi Owen e. Hubert, in South Lee,
are running three-lourths time. The Suffolk

Ter lying idle lor several months, commen-
ced running a part Of its machinery few
days since, giving employment TO some of
its operatives who have been anxiousy
waiting 10 see it in motion.
May we not hope that these evidences of
returning prosperity will be confirmed by
the early resumption of business by the
manufacturing concerns in our neighbor.
hood2 The apprehensions so generally en-
tertained in the early part of the fall, that
great destitution and suffering would proba-
bly, prevail have proven unfounded, mainly
