Mr.. McLane sails in the Brooklyn next
Saturday, his instructions being nearly

non-action, virtually exclude Slavery from
a Territory, which, in his judgment, is a
great heresy, aud opposed TO the bred Scott

this one point, that the power of a Terrific
rial Government created by Congress could
not be contradistinguished from that Of
Congress, the opinion of the Court was
unanimous.

that Territorial Legislature can exercise
any power within the inhibition of the Con-
stitution upon the power of Congress, is
contradicted by the deliberate Judgment of
every member of the Supreme Court of the
United States, and here | may we'll rest the

connection OF the Great Mail between Port
land and New Orleans. tomorrow being the
last day for receiving bids under the Post
Office Departments advertisement. 1t is
