WASHINGTON, Nov. Q.

The latter dies game. and made to-day a
strong emancipation speech. He is beyond
doubt a monOmaniac, and should be so
treated.
Everybody pitches into Douglas. Senator
Gwin has an article in this mornings COnsti-
tuition, in which he calls upon him to account
for his view, that a Territorial Legislature
may, by non-action, virtually exclude Slave
ry from Territory, which, in his judgment,
is great heresy, and opposed to the Dred
Scott decision, and the view formerly enter
tained by Douglas himself. In conclusion,
he thus sums up the difference between Mr..
Douglas and the Democratic party, as sus-
tanned by the decision of the Supreme Court,
viz:
whilst he admits that this inhabited
power cannot be exercised directly by Con-
gress, he yet contends that it may be exer
cised by Tel ritorial Government created by
Congress Now this heresy of Mr.. Douglas
is not only in conflict with this opinion of the
Supreme Court, but also with that of the dis.
senting Judge in this case, for on this one
point, that the power of Territorial Govern
ment created by Congress could not be contra
distinguished from that of Congress, the opin-
ion of the Court was unanimous.
"The declaration, then, of Mr.. Douglas,
that Territorial Legislature can exercise any
power within the inhibition Of the Constitu-
ton upon the power of Congress, is contra
dicted by the deliberate judgment of every
member of the Supreme Court of the United
States, and here l may well rest the ques-

A ONE HORSE PERFoRMANcE.-A gentle
man yesterday left his horse and buggy stand
ing in front of VOLTS drug store, and went
inside. On coming out the buggy was OBJ
served moving off up Wabashaw street, and
the owner having pursued and overhauled it,
found therein small boy driving. The little
fellow was dreadfully 'skeered" on being thus
taken, but on being questioned confessed
that he had been compelled to do thus by an
older rogue who was probably near by ready
to grab the spoils when safe from pursuit. 1t
was bold game, but didn't win that time.
A similar maneuvre was tried about two
Sundays ago, on buggy hitched in front OF
the lst Presbyterian church. Some fellows
of the baser sort jumped into it and went off.
A couple of persons whom they met, how
ever, knowing whose buggy it was, stop;'ed
them, re-captured it, and drove back, in time
to meet the owner, who, on coming out of
