LEGAL REMEDIES IN THE TERRIToRIEs.-It
has always been the position of statesmen from
the South, that the Constitution carried Slavery
into the common Territories, inasmuch as it
recognised the right of the citizens of every
State to emigrate to them with every species of
property recognised as such in any of the States
of the Union. This principle is recognised and
enforced as law by the bred Scott decision.
1t follows them that in all those Territories &C.
quired by conquest and cession from Mexico,
if there were existing at the time any laws in
hibiting Slavery, they were abrogated by the
Constitution of the United States, the moment
the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was ratified
by the Senate.
The law in relation to the nature and tenure
of the property would, of course, be that of the
new sovereign; but if the new sovereign did
not change or alter the rules of proceeding in
the courts, then the remedies would be those
existing at the time of the acquisition. This
would leave in force the remedies existing in
the body of civil and Spanish law for the re-
covery of slaves, and they were ample Moth
ing stood opposed to them but the Mexican de-
cree inhibiting Slavery, and that was abrogated
by the Constitution of the United States, as to
the common Territories Washington Union.

ism, they laid down their ultimatum for the
consideration of the national Democratic party.
This is nothing less than the establishment of
Slavery by Congress and the Executive in all
the territory which the United States possess
or may acquire. With such an object in view
as the reservation of all the public lands for
the slow settlement of the planter and negro, it
were inconsistent to vote free homesteads to
the men who own nothing but the God-giveA
wealth of strength and manhood, and who are
instinctively hostile to monopolies and class
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. Every political contest, how
ever limited, is affiliated to this great and preg-

perity of the West, and especially in the pros
perity of this city, should ponder on the lesson
