How ExP0UNDERs DIsAGREE.-Ben n. Sam-

Bloomfield, on the 18th inst, and made Dem.
ocratic speech. In the course of it he got gran
eloquent. aud particularly when be came to
describe the magnfcen, doctriue of the Demo-
cratic party for enabling the People OF the Ter
riiories TO govern themselves. An enthusiastic
Oeinocr0tic correspondent says:
He demonstrated the right Of the people Of
Territory to self-government, and exposed
most clearly The fallacy Of those Who maintain
that the people derive their rights of govern.
ment from Congress. They derive the right
from God. Il was inherent and inalieDable."
There 10 not much French about that Ian
guage. IL need not be misunderstood. Accord.
ing to Ben Ssmuels, the People Of the Terrific
r'es have the same inherent right of Sovereignty
AS the People of the States A few days ago
Senator Douglas made . speech in Wooster,
Ohio. in which he defined Territorial Sovereign
~ as follows:
"Under our Territorial system it requires SOW
ereign power TO ordain and establish constitu-
lions and governments. While n Territory may
and should enjoy all the rights of self govern
n 1, 4, "a
sovereign poHsr. The sovereignty Of Territory
remains in allegiance, suspended in the United
States, in trust for people when they become
State. aud cannot be Withdrawn from the
hands Trustees and veated in the people OF
Territory without the consent of Congress-"
SO it seems, according 10 this PRONUNCIATION
the Inhabitants OF the Territories are sovereigns
only 40 far as they are permitted to be, under
the Organic Acts Of Congress!
Ben Samuels says Territorial Sovereignty
comes from God, and Senator Douglas Gays it
comes from the Congress Of the United States!

MISSOURI WHITENING OUr.-Free labor is
rapidly crowding Slave labor out of Missouri
A ST. Loui paper of the 10Th says l5O negroes
arrived there from the S...srior bound South,
and upwards OF 100 are leaving daily. The
Lexington Express OF Missouri, states that there
is scarcely county in that part of the State
but what has its slave buyers for the South, and
that the adult slave population is rapidly de-
creasng.
The st. Louis Democrat says that every boat
brings groups of slaves down the river from the
interior, Ell route for the South. A gentleman
residing At St. Joseph tells US that within three

have disappeared-s0me across the river on
their own account, and the rest down stream
At the instance OF their owners. If the present
exodus continues, there will not be thousand
slaves left in the State of Missouri in four years
from this time.
