this question prescribed in the Constitution.
It can. when it chooses, subordinate the right
of property in the slave to the right Of per-
son. This may be proving too much, but,
nevertheless, it is the result of the principles
laid down in the Richmond decision. There
is certainly no oxaggoration in saying that
the rights of property are placed in a secon-
dairy position by that decision. Another lc-
gal subtloty is involved by it, which will OK
ercise the lawyers. No civil action can be
brought against O slave because he is sup
posed by the law to be destitute of property
This disqualification docs not apply to free
negroes who are legally seized of property
Can they be sued in United States Court -
bred Scott was incapacitatod for sueing for
his freedom because he was not a citizen, the
court declaring that no negro could be cti-
zen. Can tho negro be defendant to a civil
suit, or to any suit involving pocuniary psn-
ishment. when he cannot be plaintiff; We
are reoicod to find that the basis Of the bred
Scott decision, and the political theories erect
ed upon it, are shaken by no less parsonage
than Judge fancy himself The assertion,
by such an authority of the power Of Con-
gross to subordinate the rights of property
in slaves is a tower Of strength to the Re
publican party.

LETTER FROM MR. DOUGLAS.
WAsu1NGroN. lune 23.-The friends of
Judge Douglas hee are in possession Of the
following letter explaining his position on the
subject Of the Presidency, and Of which they
have permitted a opy to be taken for publi-
cation.
WAsTtNGroN, June %, 1859
NY Dear Sir:-I have received your letter
inquiring whether my friends are at liberty to
present my name to the Charleston Conven-
ton for the Presidential nomination Before
the question can BE- finally determined, it will
be necessary to understand distinctly upon
what issue the canvas is to be conducted.
If, as have full faith they will the Demo-
cratic party shall determine in the Presiden-
tial election of $50, TO adhere to the princi-
pies embodied in the Compromise measures Of
1850, and ratified by the people in the Pres
idental election OF 1852, and reaftirmcd in
the Kansas-Ncbrasla act of 1854, and incor-
porated into the Cincinnati platform in 1856,
as expouuded by Mr. Buchanan in his letter
accepting the nom nation, and approved by
the people--in that event my friends will be
at liberty to presen my name to the Conven-
ton. il they see proper to do so. IT, on the
contrary. it shall become the policy of the
Democratic party-which cannot anticipate
TO rcpudiate these time honorcd principles
on which we have achieved so many patriotic
triumphs. and in lien of them tho Convention
shall intcrpolatc into the creed of the party
such new issues as the revival of the African
Slave Trade. or a Congressional slave code
for the Territories. or the doctrine that the
Constitution Of the United States either
establishes or prohibits slavery in the Terri
tories, beyond the power OF the people to
control it as other property, it /, due to can
dor to say that in such an event | could not
accept the nomination if rendered to me.
Trusting this answer viii be deemed sufi-
cicntly explicit. am, very respectfully,
Your friend S. A. DOUGLAS.
To H. b. Dorr Esq.
