10th ult, remanded into the custody of the Fed
era authorities, two convicts, legally tried,
found guilty, and sentenced for the crime of re-
sisting the CAPTURE AND RESTORATION
OF A FUGiTlVESLAVE.

At the late Black Republican State Convcn
ton, the Black Republicans rcpndiated him. and
refused to re-nominate him for the Office

Convention, and elected by a large majority
Now he could not get dozen counties In the
State. He is man Of superior ability, and dis

Black Republican. He disapproves of the tugi-
tive slave law on principle, but he could not vio-
late his conscience, and lis lcalty to the Fedora
Constitution, to liberate these convicts foune
guilty. under constitutional law, and is nov
reviled and denounced every where over the Stat

Sam Houston has never said that he sustained
the Democratic platform upon Which Mr buch-
auan stands lie may have expressed kind per-
sonal feelings for him, but he never avowed HIM
self his sunporter as u Democrat. On the other
hand he has always denounced the Democratic
Platform. He did it on every stump in the Gu
bernatorial canvass ana lie mas not changed
We derv his new tledged defenders to show a
sin re ciange n, his re ord! lie voted for ana
sustained Aillard Fillmore because ne repuuia-
ted the Democratic platform. This Is the sort
ol Buchanan Democrats which oppose the oppo-
sition party Gazette.
And in supporting Millard s Fillmore. Houston
was giving aid and comfort to the Black kepub-
lican candidate, John G. Fremont, knowing ful
well that the race lay between him and Buchan
an. and that Fillmore stood in the race as
stumbling block in the way OF the South; ane
diyerting some support from Mr. Buchanan, with
the prospect of throwing the election in the
House. At the time when Gen. Houston might
have established some evidence OF being bucn-
anan democrat, he was denouncing democracy,
supporting MIR. Fillmore and preaching submls-
sion to the Abolitionist Fremont AS mem
ber of the know nothing order, when that intol-
Grant party feared the light on account OF Its
evil deeds, Gen. Houston was found Its most
zoalous advocate, and had no more reverence tor
Rucbanan, than the fox hal for the goose when
irving to break it's neck. The opposition may
brush up and repaint their old Hero as much at

The great hattie with the Black Republicans
to be decided in 1860, has already begun.
DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

That platform asserts the equality of the Amer

right to Judge ior itself well of iniractions OF
the Constitution as of the mode and measure OF
redress. (Sec piaif0rm)
RIGilrS or THE SOUTH.
That the citizens of the Southern States have
the indefeasih!e right to carry their property in

DRED SCOTT DECISION.
That the Dred Scott decision is recognized as
a true exposition Of the Constitutional powers
and duties of the Federal Government. (Sse

DUTY OF CONGRESS TO PROTECT.
That the only power conferred on Congress IN
regard to slaves iss the power coupled with the
Duty OF GUARDING AND PROTECTING
THE OWNER IN HIS RIGurS." (See Dred

POWER OF TERRITORIAL LEGISLATURES

Chief Justice fancy Oh the Right and Duty Of
Congress TO Project Slave Persons aud 5lavs
PIopsgty
ltla matter OF sincere congratulatiOn among
the conservative men Of tho whole country, at
this mOment, when present authority on the sub
ect Is 20 important, that the most authoritative
judicial voice in the Union has spoken directly
on the question Of Congressional protection "a
slave property,
In the case of the slave Amy, decided few
days since, Chief Justice fancy has furnished a
written decision, which repeats and confirms in
all its force the views previously set forth by
Governor Wise, in his late letter 20 Mr.. Sanford
From review of the decision, we discover the
assertion OF the following great principles o
dOctrue:
That slaves are recognized by the Constitu'
tion of the United States in the character Of per-
sons.
., That slaves are represented in Congress as
persons.
3. That as persons, they are, in many instan.
ces, at least, subject to certain liabilities, and
invested with rights corresponding 10 those lia-
biities, in the same way that other persons are.
4,That among these liabilities are those which
render them amenable 10 trial and punishment
for crimes and misdemeanors and among these
rights, is the right Of legal protection against
personal injury.
5. That the Constitution Of the United States
also recognizes slaves as property.
Q. "As property, the rights of the owner arc
entitled to the protection of the law" o., the
laws of the Uniteo States enacted by Congress.
The entire identity of this view of the matter,
with that presented by Gov. Wise, must be at
once manifest to every reader.
Thus, the last question which has threatened
to divide us by sectional issue, is at last direct
ly decided by the highest judicial authority in
the Union. Even those of our fellow-citne 8
who iiave hitherto been disposed to withhold
Congressional protection from slaR persons and
slave property, will, doubtless, yield the same
acquiescence to the decision in the case OF the
slave Amy, which they have already, as good
citizens, accorded to the decision in the case OF
Dred Scott.
1t is matter of further congratulation that
both these decisions are due to the sagacity, the
legal lore, and high integrity of man who wears
not less worthily than did his predecessor in Of
fee. the ermine robe which he received immedi-
ately from the shoulders of John Marshall
