ED VIII our Dem0crAtc friends in Iowa
please to make II clear to our comprehension
now Dred Scott is strong enough to overthrow
popular sovereignty" in the Territories and
carry Slavery there against the will OF the
people, and yet 10 too weak to effect the same
thing in the States Pr Gate.
The only difficulty ia the way Of tn. Gate
is, either its failure to understand, or its de-
termination to misrepresent, the position Of
the Democratic party, on the point stated
They neither concede that the bred SCOTT de-
cision overthrows popular sovereignty in the
Territories, nor that the Federal Constitution
"oarries slavery there rgainst the will OF the
people,"
The Constitution neither establishes nor
prohibits slavery, but leaves the whole oues
ton to be decided by the people who are 70
be affected by it.-[Journal.
We think We neither misrepressnt nor fail
to understand the position of the Democratic
party; though we confess We do not under
stand the position Of some OF the members Of
the party, and doubt whether they under
stand their own position.
The very gisi OF the bred Scott decision il
"that the right of property in slaves is dis.
tinctly and expressly affirmed by the Consti-
tuition Of the United States" and that the
Constitution extends over the Territories and
protects the stakeholder in carrying this Con.
stitutional property into the territories. Hence
the decision declared that the act Of Don.
gress prohibiting slavery north OF thirty de-
grees thirty minutes Was void because it VIC
lated the Constitution which secured vest
ed right to the STAKEHOLDER to his property i,
his slaves in the Territory Of the Unite
States. And it follows, Of course, il Con
gress has no power to divest the slaveholde
of right secured by the Constitution Of tn
United States, that Territorial government
which is the creature Of Congress aud dc
rives oil its authority from Congress, cou
have no such right.
The majority Of the Supreme Court 90 un
derstood their own decision, and the minorit
in their dissenting opinions held that to b
the decision Of the majority. Justice McLea,
says: SIN this case, majority Of the Cour
have said that slave may be taken by hi
master into Territory OF the United States
the same as horse or any c.he. kid 6
property" Justice Curtis, arguing agains
the position OF the majority Of that Cour,
shows that be understood that they had dc
cided that the Constitution OF the Unite
States establishes slavery in the Territorie,
for he says: "lf citizens Of the United State
have the right to take their slaves to Terri
tory, and hold them there as slaves, uith o,
regard to the loUs Of the Territory, 1 sur
pose this right 10 not to be restricted to cit
gems OF slaveholding States.'
The President OF the United States, NJ
Buchanan, also, so understood the decision
and announces it in his annual MESSAGE
the following terms: "The slaves wei
brought into the Territory (Kansas) undt
tho Constitution of the United States, an
are aow the property Of their masters. Th
point has finally been decided by the highel
judicial tribunal Of the country.

Readers who are not informed upon the
subject OF European subdivisions will be
COMPOUNDED by the indiscriminate use Of
the names, Piedmont and Sardinia. They
are one and the same. The nucleus Of the
Sandman Kingdom was the Alpine country
Of Savoy. Savoy, fragment of several
states that had crumbled TO pieces, assumed
an independent position in the beginning Of
the eleventh century, from which time she
was governed by her own courts. By prudent
and artful policy her influence WAS extended,
until. in 1850, extensive districts on the Ital-
ian plains below, in Piedmont, were acquired.
IN l4l6 the whole Of Piedmont was added.
Nice had been previously added. in 1899. AT
the peace Of Utrecht, in l713, these coun-
tries, together with the island Of Sicily, were
erected into Kingdom. In ITO Sicily wa.
exchanged for the island Of Sardinia. Th,
Sandman Kingdom, therefore, as At presen
organised, is composed, substantially, Of tn
three provinces of Savoy, Piedmont and Sar
DINA. Her total area is 2s,472 square mile
IA little over half the area Of Iowa. He
population is 5 900, 245-more than twice til
population Of Pennsylvania.fs

Attempt on the Life OF the French
Emperor.

Emperor.
The Paris correspondent of the Boston Post
gives the following story of another attempt
on the life of Louis Napoleon:
"Meanwhile, rumors-well-founded, be-
| heve--of another attempt upon the Empe-
ror's life, have got abroad, and the severity
with which all spreaders Of the report have
been visited but adds one proof the more to
the truth of this one. 1t seems that tho in
formation of the assassin's intentions was
obtained by the police through an anony nous
letter; and the revelations made by the Gull
prit have been so convincing Of the utter he o.
lessness of the police against the unseen en-.
envy, working in the dark against the peace
and safety of the mGbses, that the highest
functionary of that institution has been
seized with fit of hopeless dependency at
sight of the web woven around him by the
Marianne, and which, with all his spies and
well-ordered machinery, he has been unable
TO prevent. The assassin belongs to Lille,
was a silk weaver of the place, and undertook
the task Of poignarding the Emperor, in vir.
tpe Of the chance which had designated him
by the number seven at the meeting OF the
Marianne. The meaning OF the number has
been kept a secret from the vulgar, but the
poliece have learnt it sure enough, and trem-
BILE. Last night in the clubs and cafes, it
was said that the murderer, whose process
verbal was not quite terminated, had cut his
throat at the Prefecture, to the dismay of
the employees and the great relief of the
higher officials who had begun to find that a
further extent Of revelation might become
Involvement, by giving them more work to
do than they could we'll get through for some
time to come. Of the circumstances OF the
attempt at assassination having been made,
can warrant the truth; the assertion Of the
murderer's self-destruction may be no NOR,
! than rumor."

LATER RoMEUROPE.
Arrival Of the Nova Scotian and
the Arago.

Two vessels more have arrived from Eu-
rope, bringing additional intelligence con-
corning the progress Of the war, which is
thus summarized by the Chicago Press and
Tribune:
The sum Of the intelligence by the steam
ers seems to be this. The Austrians have
crossed the Ticino at Pavia, and are march :
ing towards Turin the capital of the Sar-
dinian Kingdom. They appear, by accounts,
to be in occupation Of Mortara, q consider
able town about twenty Eve miles from the
point where they entered Sardinia but have
not advanced beyond that place. Thus far
they have not been impeded by the threaten
cd inundation Of the country. Mortara is
approachable through the low lands border
ing on the Arbogna, which are almost wholly
devoted to the culture of rice, and which il
was supposed would be laid under water
upon the approach of the enemy. Occupy
ing Placenza, Pavia and Aroma, the Aus
TRANS have control of all the Sandman from
tier, from Switzerland down to the western
seem to have sent forward three columns
march, except ut Buffalora, twenty-five miles
l.
at the point Of the bayonet, appears to have
been nnimpeded.
In the mean time, neither the French nor
Sardinians have been idle. The columns Of
the former, dispatched from Grenoble, have
overcome the passes Of the Alps, and reached
Suza. west anu within some thirty odd miles
of Turin, with which capital they are in com ;
munioation by rail. The forces shipped at
Toulon, for Genoa, are disembarking there,
and going by rail to Alessandria and Turin
the former not far from fifty miles from
Genoa. The occupation Of Turin is, as was
supposed would be, the advantage for which
the French and Austrians would contend
AS they are approaching 1.-THE French from
the West and South and the Austrians from
the East--we may in few days, possibly by
the next steamer, hear that great battle has
been fought. They are now hardly more
than ninety miles apart--a distance that their
eagerness will impel them speedily to over
come. Gen. O'Neill and Marshal Canrob
are at Turin, but probably without their
| forces.
LATER The arrival Of the Arago and the
Nova Scotian, last evening, give us intelli-
gence one day later. The Austrians have
advanced from Mortara to Viceli, apparent
| ly with little opposition. France has made
formal declaration Of war, and Napoleon
has announced his determination to join the
army forthwith.
The Vigo is also in, but nothing had beer
received from her, of Importance, in add.
ton to the above news, at the time the tele.
graphic dispatches were made up.

n Portrait OF tho National Dcmo
rMCY by a Dem0crAIic HAND.

rhSy Dy democratic III land.
The Charleston Mercury offers this graphic
portrait Of the National Democracy:
We have seen nothing in National Democ-
racy Of late years which challenges our ad-
miration, to say nothing Of our allegiance.
1t has THRILLED with constitutional proyi.
sions, DISREGARDED constitutional re-
strctions, and set at naught positive consti-
tutional injunctions.
II has AIDED in the passage Of unjust
and unequal laws.
It has SQUANDERED the public money,
ROBBED the common Treasury, and to
FOREIGN PAUPERS given the pubic lands.
Its PROMISES have been BROKEN,
Its PLEDGES disregarded, and
Its professions FALSIFED.
To conclude the whole matter, National
Democracy is CORRUPT, vacillsting, and
FALSE; il wears the garb Of sanctity that
its hideous deformities may be concealed it
woos but to ruin, and wins but to DECEIVE.
We like the picture, 1t is workmanlike.
IL is faithful. Considering that it is done
by friend, il is remarkably faithful. So
far as it goes, it is as true as life and it
goes far enough TO convict the National De-
mocracy on unauestionable authority Of be-
ing the most radical, revolutionary, anar-
chical, unjust, unscrupulous, dishonest,
treaoherous, hypooritical, reckless, unpstri.
otto, baleful, mean, and despicable party
that ever cursed this afflicted young repub-
lie. These arc certainly strong claims to our
most earnest approval. We cheerfully ac-
knowledge them. We accept the portrait,
in the name Of the Opposition, and shall do
our best to have it hung up In the home Of
every voter Of the land. Gentlemen Of the
Opposition, pass it round.-[Lou. Journal.
