lflical SlaVcs3

The Administration and its apologists say
they are. This, indeed, is the ground on
which the Administration rests its preposter-
our and perfdious doctrine. The Washing
ton Stutes, one of the three central organs of
the Democracy, expresses it thus:
In Prussia every male child is born SOL
dier. The King has a claim upon him for a
certain number of years of military duty,
which is just as valid as the claim OF Nir-
gilman to slave child for life is valid by the
Constitution of the Union.
If male quits his realm, at whatever age,
without having discharged such duty, he is
ever liable for its performance, either person
ally or by substitute, upon re-entering the
realm.
No obligations which he can take upor
himself to another country, and 20 protection
which such country can extend to him, cal
! imnair this claim, because it is of anterior ex
is,ence.
For instance, if male slave of Virginia
one Of Mr.. Bolts, for instance-were to es
cape from his owner, proceed to PRUSSIA
there become subject of the Crown, an
subsequently return to Virginia, it is not like
lv that he would be restored to Prussia upo
the demand that he is a Prussian subject:
The notion is too absurd to be entertalne
by rational being. Old Virginia would SUI
render her existence before she would surrel
dor him.
The cases are identical.

Good for its Face Only.

The impression generally obtained that the
sale of ticket by Rail Road Company OBJ
liges that road to carry the purchaser any
time he may choose to 60, regardless of any
limitation expressed on the face of the ticket
ITSELF has led to great deal of speculation in
Railroad tickets at times when the war of
competition had reduced prices below the
usual standard. In two cases that have
come up in the courts of New York, all for.
mer decisions which were in conformity with
this idea were overruled, it being justly held
that the Rail Road ticket evidences the con-
tract between the parties, and that Rail
Road has right to prescribe the terms en-
ployed in its condition. This will doubtless
become the established law. If there is nc
Limitation expressed on the ticket, then, Of
course, it is good for any length of time.

The New York Sun on the Sickles' Re.
Cancellation.

The N Y. Sun, noticing the reconciliation
of Mr. and Mrs. Sickles, says:
Perhaps the Christian influence of the cler
gymen who manifested such deep interest
in Daniels welfare during his Incarceration in
Washington, and his trial for the murder OF
Philip Barton Key, has kinded in his breast
the spirit of charity. Or the music Of the
young iuryman's violin may have re-awaken-
ed those earlier sentiments of affection
which had been temporarily paralyzed by the
supposed "di>honoring of his bed" The
vengeance proved so fatal, and that Mr. Key
is not alive to witness MIR. Sickles' restoration
TO sanity, and his full condemnation of his
wife's ssindiscretion" She confessed all, and
her husband, it appears, has forgiven ALL
Would that he had earlier learned the pray
er, Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive
them that trespass against us"

Gov. Wisess Ultimatun.

The Richmond Enquirer (Wise's organ)
says "that in case the Charleston Conven-
ton shall reject the doctrine of the power
and duty of the general government, and Of
each and every department thereof, in case
of need, to employ its proper functions tor
the protection Of persons and property in the 4,
Territories, if the Charleston Convention shall
thus authorize the platform to be interpreted
according to the doctrine of the Lynchburg
Republican, which doctrine the Eli Ihayer
wing of the Black Republican party has &C
coded to and endorsed as the best and most
practical means of excluding slave property
from the Territories such case, we say
We regard it as much more than probable that
the conservative Democracy, not only OF Viz
ginia, but of the South, and of the whole I'm
ion. will refuse to vote for the nominee of thu

JUICE Mclean on Protection to slave
..-. Property.

1853. Property.
The following passage from a letter by
Judge Mclean, until he shall announce
change of opinion, sets at rest the report that
he has favored Congressional legislation to
protect slave property in the territories:
COLUMBUS, July 2sth, 1S48.
Resting upon the principles Of the Consti-
tuition, as they have been judicially settled,
the free states, by moderation, vigilance and
firmness, may prevent the extension of slave
ry to the free territory lately annexed. With
out the sanction of law slavery can no more
rxist in territory than a man can breathe
without air. Slaves are not property where
they are not made so by the municipal law
The legislature of territory can exercise no
power which is not conferred on it by act Of
Congress. With the highest respect, l am,
gratefully, your obedient servant,
JouN MCLEAN.

NAVIGATION OF THE Big Sioux RIVER
The elegant steamer Omaha-a s'de-wheeler'
and the largest boat in the Upper Missouri
River trade, Capt. G. A. Wineland, recently
made successful trip up the Big Sioux River
into Dakota, and discharged big freight and
a large number Of passengers at Sioux Falls
City.
The Chicago Press and Tribune has it that
the Omaha, while achieving grand success,
vet will not find it practicable to run so high
up as the Falls, she being, on account Of her
length, obliged to back down several miles
before she could turn in safety. =
1t is, however, fully demonstrated tha
smaller class steamers will often and easily
wend their way to the Dakota Capital City.

This association had jubilee on Monday ev-

tested. A large concourse of interested citi-
zens was present to witness the exhibition,
the working of their engine surpassed the
lively expectations of the crowd and demon
strated it to be a first-class machine. The
first trial was single stream, with 800 feet
of hose through an inch nozzle. She threw,
Including the rise from the river, from 100 to
1870 feet. The stream was very compact and
and uniform. Afterwards, the capacity Of
the machine was tested with two streams,
this performance being even better, compare
lively, than the first.
