From the Cincinnati Gazeltc,l
Senator Douglas and his friends deny
that Congress, under the Constitution, has
any power TO leglslate Oh the subject OF
Slavery in the Territories. 1t is not
enough that we point them TO the fact that
the first Congress. assembled after the
adoption of the. Constitution, composed
largely of the great and good men of that
period, who made the Constitutional
firmed anG prepetuated, by positive legis
lation, the Ordinance of 1887, which cx.
pressly prohibited Slavery in every foot
of territory then bel nging to the Gener.
al Government. 1t avails nothing when
We show them that Gen. Washington. who
was President of the Convention which
framed the, Federal Constitution, was
President Of tie United Statet at the time
this ordinance of freedom was legalizpd
by Congressional action, and under the
oanction Of an oath to support that iustru
ment, gave that law his official approval.
It is not enough that We point them to the
historical fact that every President, from
Washington to Polk, recognized the pow.
er of Congress to legislate ON this ques.
tion by signing acts which directly as
sumed control Of this question. 1t is not
enough that we establish the fact from the
record, that Chief Justice John Marshall
clearly affirmed the power of Congress,
underthe Constitution, to legislate on this
subject and that the various State Courts
of most Of the slSveholding States have
repeatedly affirmed the cons ttutionality,
not only of the Ordinance of 1887, but
also of the Missouri Compromise. While
they will admit that such has been the
history ofthis question, and such the prac-
tice of all the departments of tie Federal
Government in reference to ii, for more
than sixty years they yet contend that
we are wiser than our fathers, and under.
stand better than they the ''lrue intent
and meaning OF the Constitution"
But what will they say il it shall ap-
pear, from the record, that as late as June
1850, Senator Douglas, the man who now
denies, SO vehemently, that Congress may
constltutionally touch this subject ol
Slavery, admitted thai in his opinion Con-
gress could pass laws excluding negro slaves
from the Territories? The following ex.
tract from pages ll15 and l116 Of the

beyond dispute, that Senator Douglas

by GEORGE LANsING TAYLOR.

Dare to be right dare to be true!
You have work that no other can do;
Do 1t so bravely, so kindly, so we'll, ...a
As to gladden. all heaven, and silence all hell
Dare 10 be right dare to be true!
Cowards and quidnunes dread everything new;
Unless you can stand at your post in storm,
How can you fight in the ranks OF reiormP
Dare to be right! dare to bO true!
p Foes may be many, and friends may be few;
Truth and her companions of stand alone,
What's man good for ifhe hasn't "backbone?r
Dare to be right dare to be true!
Other men failing excuses not you;
Stand by your conscience, your honor, your faith,
Stand like hero and battle till death.
Dare to be right! dare to be true!
Keep the groat Judgment seat always In view;
Look at your work as you'll look at it then,
Scanned by Jehovah, and angels, and men.
Dare to be right! dare to be true!
Love may deny you its sunshine and dew;
Let the dew fail, for then showers shall be given;
Dew is from earth but the show RS are from heaven
Dare tobe right dare to be truel
God, who created you, cares for you too;
Bottles the tears that his striving ones shed,
Counts aud protects every hair on your head.
Dare to be right dare to be -trueI
Can not 0mnpotonce carry you through?
City, and mansion, and throne all in sight,
Can you not dare to be true and be bright2

THE NEW ARCTIC ExPLoRATIoE.-Dr. IL q.
Hayes, surgeon of the Kane Arctic expedi-
ton, hopes to be ready for start in the
month of May next. DR.. Hayes has already
raised $4,000, one-half of the necessary
sum, from the generous contributions of his
personal friends, and hopes to secure the
rest from the liberal public at large. To
assist him in this endeavor, the Geograph-
ical and Statistical Society have appointed a
committee of leading merchants and other
well-known citizens, (among them nenry
Grinnell, and there is reason to hope that
the appeal will not be made in vain. The
special object of DR.. Hayes proposed expedi-
ton, is to determine at once and forever the
vexed question of an open polar sea, which
Lieut.. Morton saw, and the existence of
which would seem to be established by a
variety of circumstantal evidence. This
sea DR.. Hayes hopes to reach without ex-
posing his vessel to special danger, by
making the principal portion of the trip on
dog sledges-vehices by which he and his
associates rode over a thousand miles on the
previous expedition. The friends of this
new scientific enterprise intend to hold a
public meeting in the course of week or
two, at which the nature ard Importance of
the project will be fully explained.-N. Y.

The Holly Springs Herald of March, ID
says:
The business of no railroad in America
has increased more rapidly than the Missis-
sippi Central has since its completion. One
day during last week, sixty-one car loads of
cotton passed the Holly Springs depot. The
value of the cotton shipped on that day
could not have amounted to much less than
one hundred thousand dollars. On Friday
last, another train of nineteen car loads
started from our depot direct through to
New Orleans. The completion of this road
seems to be putting new life and action into
all descriptions of business, and, our people
need not be surprised to hear of the establish
ment of factories of almost every kind in
Holly Springs before the close of the year
1860.
