One of the most interesting facts men
toned in the last intelligence received from
Europe is the announcement that Russia has
acquired for term of years the port of Villa
Franco, thus gaining foothold in the Medi-
terranean for q naval station. Villa Frapca
is small seaport town in the kingdom OF
Sardinia, situated short distance from the
city of Nice, containing between two and
three Thousand inhabitants. The harbor is
sheltered by lofty bills, and is well adapted
for the purposes to which itisto be converted

The Hon. Colonel Prince, who presided
over the Quarter Sessions in Canada, at its
last term, in sentencing number Of negroes
for larceny, riots, &C., took occasion to re-
mark that the negro population of Canada
was getting to be on iptoleratle nuisance
that demanded abatement, and that unless
less trouble was experienced from that quar-
ter, there would undoubtedly be laws enacted

The Justice of these remarks will be apparent
when it is stated that out of eleven criminals
tried at that session Of the court, nine were
negroes, and ont Of thirteen now in Jail, ele-
ven were colored.

ALEXANDRIA,:
MONDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER II, 1858.

When il was charged, during The Presided
tial canvass OF 1913, that Gen. Cass, in bis
Nicholson letter, conceded the right OF the
people of the territories, through their terrific
rial Legislatures, to prohibit slavery therein,
it was stoutly denied by the Democracy Of the
South that the letter iu question announced
any such principle. Shortly after the de-
feat of the General for toe Presidency, he
took occasion in his place in the Senate TO
reaffirm the doctrines of his Nicholson letter,
insisting upon tho right of the territorial leg
islatures to dispose of slavery 10 their own
way.
All parties at the South hold that there is
no power in the people of the territories, save
10 the formation of their Constitution pre-.
paratory to admission as State into the
Union, to interfere With the right of property
in slaves. Judge Douglas, it seems, following
in the wake of General Cass, has recently
proc aimed different doctrine. He admits
the right of the "people of the territory, by
lawful means, to exclude slavery from their
limits prior to the formation of State Con-
stitution." How the democracy of the SJuth
will be able to reconcile this view of the
question With their repeated denunciation OF
Gen. Cass's "squatter sovereignty" notions,
remains to be seen. The Virginia Legislature,
in 1917, solemnly announced that the pas
sage Of the "Wilmot Psoviso" would be
cause for resistance at all hazards and to the
last extremity" Mr.. Calhoun held that
souatter sovereignty was the "Wilmot pro-
viso 10 it's most odious form," and such. we
believe, is the opinion of the Southern Damoc-
racy generally. Judge Douglas can hardly
look for much support, therefore, in the
Charleston Convention, from the southern
wing of the Democratic party.
