surprise at the southern people in easing them With the
A0oioniss since they dsRvoE any purpose 10 inter

are 10 favor Of aggressive Their identity Ia
the estimation Of all intelligent people proceeds from
the fact that the Free Sellers precisely the same ar
gmens in substance TO prove the correctness and just
hess Of their dogmas that the blue beled AbOitionst
does TO sustain bis diabOca schemes and dOctrines-
Thus they ''sai in the same boat" The only way
IA which the honest Free Soer attest the sincerity
Of his declaration Of nOnintereFenee with the South, -

vsxed question: trusting the Weigher considerations
o. climate and pOhtcO-ecOnomy for the settlement OF the
controversy.

to the Western Churchman, the following
little reminscence of his Virginia lie, and
good old Bishop Moore:
when very young in the nlEistry' per
formed missionary duties Oh the EotoMac,
mainly in the comfy Of King George. Elsh-
CD Moore set oil from Richmond to visit
that portion Of the State, and met him at
the residence of a gentleman on the banks
of the Rappahanock. The Bishop, as usual,
had all the neighborhood gathered in for
religious service, in which he was aided by
the rev. J. z. McGuire and myself. we
all three slept il: tie same room There was
a bright fire on the chamber hearth, at which
Mr.. NJ. and were sitting some tine after
the Bishop had lain down for bis nightly
rest How we'll remember his face. bis
white locks scarcely t2 he distinguished from
his pillow. and his bright genial eye glitter

The Tennessee Resolutions and Mr.. Douglas.

The Tennessee Resolutions and Mr. douglas.
AS for the Tennessee platform" which is
urged as the latest coup d'etat which is to be
sprung on Douglas, his position IS already
on record rs regards it. In his recent speech
in the Senate he said, after having this plat
form read, rs follows:
Resolved, That all citizens of the United
States have an equal right to settle with their
property in the Territories, and that under
the decision Of the Supreme Court which we
recognize as an exposition OF the constitution,
neither their rights of person or property can
be destroyed or impaired by Congressional
or Territorial legislation.
Mr.. DouGLAs- have had predictions
that the party was to be reunited by the
adoption OF that resolution. The only objec-
ton that have to it, is that it is liable to two
constructions, and certainly and inevitably
will receive two, directly the opposite of each
other. and each will be maintained with equal
pertinacity The resolution contains, in my
opinion, two trueisms, and, fairly considered,
no man can question them. They are: first,
that every citizen of the United States has
an equal right in the Territories; that what
ever right the citizen of one State has, may be
enjoyed by the citizens of all the States; that
whatever property the citizen OF one State
may carry there, the citizens OF all the States
nav carry; and on whatever terms the cltl
zens of one State can hold it and have 1T pro.
tected, the citizens of all States can hold l,
and have it protected, without deciding what
! the right is, which still remains for decision
The second proposition is, that q right OF
person or property secured by the constltu,
ton cannot be taken away either by act OF
Congress Or the Territorial Legislature
| Who ever dreamed that either Congress or q
Territorial Legislature, or any other legs
latiyc body on earth, could destroy or impair
any right guaranteed or secured by the con
stitution? No man that | know of. This
resolution leaves the same point open that
remains open for the courts under the Gin
| cinnati platform, and under the Kansas Ne
braska bill My objection is that it bears
unon its face the evidence that it is to be
! construed in two opposite ways IN the differ
| cDt sections of the Union. want no double
| dealing or double construction. am willing
to stand on the Cincinnati platform, as you
agree to it, and as it was re-enacted al

ton have always given to it; you may give II
yours. We differ only on Il point Of law; let the
Court decide that: and only ask that you
will bow to the decision Of the Court with the
same submission that shall, and carry it ou
with the same good faith. | want no new
issue. | want no new test. | will make
none on you, and will permit you to make
| none on me.
He has thus given his Interpretation of it
and if the Convention see tit to adopt it
however irregular it may be to revive dis
cussion on the platform already settled by q
| decided yotc-it can form no bar to his noml
