dren The skies may seem serene, and the
waters appear tranquil, but the elements Of
mischief are mastering in The one, and rocks
are hidden beneath the other. If the Dem.
ocratic party continues to hold the govern,
ment, and our rights are protected, we may
remain at peace, but if the Black Republi-
cans succeed, the Union must perish. Ii
matters not who its leader is, or what its
platform of principles may be, its asceudancy
if submitted 10, must be the subiugation oI
the South The natural appetency of every
dominant party, especially if it is sectional,
is TO oppression; and when this is stimula
ted by fanatcism, ruin is The sure result
would sooner see the South ravaged by mil.
dew and blast, pestilence and famine, than
see her proud head bowed to Black Republi
can rule. If ever she once submits to bo-
litiou ascendancy, she must fade away into
ruin, or her. courage upon the field must win
back what her submission has forfeited. II
she once yields, her history is written in The
annals of Mexico. Stained in blood, shrun.
ken in spirit, and restless between anarchy
and despotism, stands that beautiful land
"nnkingdomed and widow" invoking
some spell OF conquest aud renovation. VIII
the South court such fate? No! With
her immense resources and her teeming en-.
ergy, hers is a splendid destiny. 1t may
require her to establish a new confederacy,
but she is equal to the task. At least, il
forbids her submission to Black Republican
rule. Never, with my counsel, will she
submit to this. And if she does, never,
with my consent, will South Carolina submit.
She was the John the Baptist of the Revo-
luton, aud if her honor requires it, she
must again be the fore,runner in defence Of
our common liberty and civilizatio n.

ritories even where majority Of the residents
may happen to be unfavorabIe to it; ard we
are glad to be confirmed in this position bs
so th' reueb',a southern journal rs the Charles
ton Nercury, from which we copy the follow
ling able article
The bred Scott decision determined that
the southern people had right to coonize
our Territories with their slaves, and that
their slaves, ike any other property, were
entitled to protection in our Territories.
But it has been said slave property, to exist
as property in Territory, requires special
legislation by territorial legislature. Ii
therefore, territorial Legislature, being, bv
a majority, abolitionisl, should not think
proper TO pass the special laws necessary for
the protection of slavery, it must expire.
Inc answer to this position is very simple.
1t Is based on false assumption of Ssct.--
1t Is not necessary for the existence of slave
rly ina Territory that there should be special
laws passed for its protection. Slaves are
property just as any other subject of proper-
ty. The courts of the United States In y
Territory have only to administer the laws
protecting all other property in their appli-
ca ION to slaves. and the projection will be-
sufficient. For instance: it is felony to steal
horse or watch, flor it is not necessary
that there should be express statutes in a
Territory declaring horse or wotcA 10 be
ProPerty.l Let the same law be applied 10
stealing slave. 1t is criminal offeuse to
beat cruelty, TO kill wantonly, any animal. -
Let the same law be applied to The protec-
ton OF the slave. If mau keeps and uses
his neighbor's animals, he is amenabIe to
damages, and so would he be in haI boring 4
slave. All the judges of Territory are ap,
pointed by the President of the United States,
by and with the consent Of the Senate, and
net by the peopl4 or The legislature OF Il
Territory. If a territorial legislature should
pass laws prohibiting or abolishing slavery
in Territory, the courts in Territory would
declare them VOID. If they should pass laws
declaring that the laws protecting all other
kinds of property should not protect slavery
they would be set aside by the iudicary.-
AS long as Territory is Territory, slavery
under the constitution of the United States,
must be protected as property, and the courts
Of the Territory, under the appointment and
control of the head of the federal govern
ment, mus enc ce he protection, if the de-
cree of the Supreme Court of the United
States is enforced. When territorial gov
ernment Is organized in Territory, all the
principles of the common law are either put
in force by the act creating the government
of Territory, or they enter the Territory
with our citizens propria vigore; and thus
our citizens euter Territory with all the
for the protection Of persons and
which they enjoyed in the States.-
These @e simply sufficient for the protection
Of slavery; and all argument going to show
the omnipoteuce of squatter sovereignty,
elther by action or non>action over slavery
in Ternory, are false.
