Judge Douglas On the Territorial
Question in 1859.

"But you say that we propose to prohibit
by law your e%migrating to the Territories
with your property. We propose no such
thing. We recognize your right in COM
mon with our own, to emigrate to the
Territories with your property, and there
hold and enloyi it it in subordination to
the laws you may find in force in the
country. Those laws, in some respects,
differ from our own, as the laws of the
various States in this Union vary, on some
points, from the laws in each other. Some
species of property are excluded by law
In mOst of the States as well as Terrific
ries, as being unwise, immoral, or con-
trary to the principles of sound public po-
Icy. For instance, the banker is prohib-
tied from ~emigrating to Minnesota, Ore
gon, or California with his bank. The
bank may be property by the laws of New
York, but ceases to be so when taken into
a State or Territory where banking is
prohibited by the local law. So ardent
spirits, whisky, brandy, all the intoxicat-
ing drinks, are recognized and protected
as property in most of the States, if not
all Of them; but no citizen, whether from
the North or South, can take this species
of property with him, and hold, sell, or
use it At its pleasure in all the Terrific
ries, because it is prohibited by the local
LAWN Oregon by the statutes of the
Territory, and in the Indian country by
the acts of Congress. Nor can a man 60
there, and take and hold his SlaUe, for the
same reason. These laws, and many
others involving similar principles, are
directed against no section, and impair the
rights of no State in the Union. They
are laws against the introduction, sale,
and use of specific kinds of property,
whether brought from the North or the
South, or from foreign countries"

The HaE Il Can Be Done!

We have, frequently through the col
umns Of our paper, and in private letters,
~endeavored TO convince people east-in
the old Subsequently, those with
limited means and possessions, how much
better they can do for themselves and
families by coming west, than by remain
ing in the older and more density popula-
ted portions of the country. The past
week a case just in point has come to our
knowledge, A man, in n of the old
States, with quite a family, had by inces-
SAINT toll, succeeded in securing eighty
acres of land, of of which he was barely
making a living. He was finally induced
10 try his fortune in the West" and &C
cordingly "soId out'' and came to this
county. With the proceeds from his
sales, he here purchased thirteen hundred
and tCenty acres; for 800 of which he paid
SO per acre, and calculates he has money
sufficient left, to fence 1000 acres of
his land! This man, besides having a
farm of his own, four times as large as
the one he before owned, and more pro-
ductive with equally as good market, has
for distribution among his five children
fWo hundred acres of land to each! Com
ment is unnecessary and we only mention
this for the benefit of doubling ones in
the States, as a case having actually
occurred.

The Future of the Northwest.

Magic seems fairly rivalled in the
growth of the Northwest. Few can bring
their imagination up to the reality. Vast
prairies, which but yesterday were sur
veyed by government, and offered to set
tiers at one dollar and a quarter per acre,
now present almost one unbroken field,
for section after section of waving grain,
each acre producing annually enough to
pay for many acres 1t the original cost.
Agricultural Societies spring up, foster
ing improvements, encouraging the i'm
portation of the best stock, and introduce
ing approved agricultural machinery.
1t is interesting to compare the number
of Agricultural Societies in the East and
South with those of the West; and in
the list, as taken from the books of the
Secretary Of the Interior, we find Illinois

to file during the forenoon under the

The vacant lands in this District have
been examined personally by those wish

sought after with much zeal. Purchasers
take their "turn'' at the. counter; are al
lowed to enter no more than GAO acres

"HOnOrary PresideucV.v

Everybody is asking what the honorary
presidency of the new Italian confedera-
ton, just conferred upon the Pope, is to
be but nobody seems exactly to know.
The truth is, Honorary Presidency" NAV
be set down as the very last of the "Idees
NaPOIeOnienne and as such, it NAV
mean just anything or nothing.
Webster in his Unabridged, SAYS (:
''Hoonrary Presidency" means, Ist. Con
terrlng honor, or intended merely to con-
fer honor" 2. Possessing a title or place,
without performing services or receiving
a reward" .
According to Webster, then, the Pope
IS only to have an empty compliment be-
slowed upon, and not a substantial addi-
ton to his temporal p%owe-but who be-
ievas that the Emperor is going to do
things according to Webster ."-N. Y.

Douglas Newspapers in the South.
Sen, AIa., July l3, IS.

0 J S ~
To the Editor of the HeraLd:-As a
subscriber and constant reader of your
paper, permit me to take the liberty of
calling attention to and correcting the
views expressed in the following extract
taken from your editorial of the 9th inst:
SIN all the Southern States there are
only two Democratic papers, we believe,
that pretend to support the present posi-.
ton Of Senator Douglas-the Louisville
Democrat and the Mobile Register-and
the editor of the Register has taken this
course of late, not from his admiration of
"Squatter Sovereignty" but from his
personal hostility to Mr.. Buchanan. In
deed, the prevailing Southern Democratic
sentiment on this subject of Slavery in
the Territories is so intensely hostile to
any other doctrine than that of Gov.
Wise, that Mr.. Buchanan in that quarter
is now frequently assailed as faithless to
Southernrights in failing to prosecute the
war for the determination of Douglas and
his followers"
You are mistaken when you assert that
the Mobile Register and the Louisville
Democrat are the only papers South which
support the position of Senator Douglas.
You must examine your exchanges better
and you will find that in addition TO the
Register and Democrat, the Louisiana
Courier, Montgomery Confederation,
Huntsville Advocate, Mississippi Enter
prise, Tennessee Quid Nunc, Augusta
Constituencies, several Kentucky Dem
ocratic papers, Lynchburgh Va Repub-
lican, Richmond Examiner, Fredericks-
burg News, Fincastle Democrat, War
renton Flag, Paramount True Virginian,
Bedford Democrat, Wheeling Argus,
Spirit of Democracy, Virginia Index,
Washington States, Alabama State Senti-
mel, and several other Southern journals
support the views of the Illinois Senator
his past and present pOsition-N Y.

follows:
Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Convention:
Your committee have waited upon me with the
information that you have made mt the nominee Of
this Convention. Ifeel that I would be more than
mortal were l able to stand before you under the
circumstances by which l find myself surrounded
and preserve my self possession. acknowledge the
honor with a grateful heart and if l can estimate
the value Of this honor by the character of those
who have conferred 1t upon me, by the elevated
standing Of those whose names have been before the
Convention, and from the list Of which mine has
been selected, or from the very fattering illusions
to myself by the eloquent gentlemen who have ad-
dressed the Convention, IfeeI that it is one of which
l have a rightto be proud.
As intend to visit you all in the coming canvass
and discuss the various issues presented, | shall not
weary you with q speech now. I will congratulate
myself, however, and this Convention and the dem
ocracy should be participants that the circumstances
under which | have been nominated, are such as to
absolve me from all special obligation to any parti-
cular locality. 1t Is proper to say that in a contest
which came off In my own county, between myself
and a ~neighbor, Mr. Miller, that my competitor was
made the choice Of Douglas county, and my name
having been presented by gentlemen from some 9TH
erlOcllity, l am proud to acknowledge myself in
debtcd for this honor, to the territory at large, rath-
er than to any particuR section.
There may be some hesitation on the part of my
friends from Otoe to yield a full and hearty acqui-
escence in the result OF this Convention. have too
much confidence in thcm to believe that this will
be carried to their homes Or into the canvass. IF it
is, however, so as tOresult in diminishing the vote of
that county, and if am, nevertheless, elected, I will
heap Goals Of fire upon their heads by melting out to
them equal and exact justice in the bestowal of off,
cial favor and patronage.
