Higher Law Doctrine.

We have heard friends of Breckirrilge de-
clare that Douglas is in favor of the Black Re-
publican higher law dogma They base this
charge upon the declaration in one of Douglas
recent canvassing speeches, that there is an in
herent right under the Constitution of the United
States IN III. people Of the Territories to govern
themselves. They say this is no more nor less
than the higher law" dogma of the Republi-
cans. If they are right then Gen. Cass is in
favor of higher-lawsm," and when we all
voted for him for President we were all advo-
Gates of the higher-law dogma. In reply to
Senator Butler (see Cong. Globe lst sess 33d
Cong, page 690) he says: The moment Con-
gress prescribes form of Co ernment for the
Territories, then comes in the inherent right Of
the people to regulate their internal affairs for
themselves And on page 1888, App. to Cong
Globe, lst sess. 33d Congress, we find the fol-
lowing.
Mr. WELLER.-All that my friend from
Michigan contended for was that after Con-
gress took the initiative in the organization of
Territorial government, the people, in the ex-
ercise of their nheTant right, are to judge what
sort Of Institutions should exist among them
MR.. CASS.-That is the doctrine
MR.. WELLER.-Does my friend from South
Carolina (Mr Butler) deny that? If that be
squatter sovereignty, then | am in every sense
of the word, sqnatter, and proud of the
name.
We're Cass aad Weller " higher-law advo-
cafes in 1854? If not, then is not Douglas to-
day. Out upon such dirty ISLANDERS.

The FURoR FOR DoUGLAs-Never in the his
tory of this country have the masses exhibited
such unbounded enthusiasm in behalf of any
man, as that which the presence of Stephen A.
Douglas is everywhere evoking and displa; ing
-eUeytrhers, north and south, east and west
alike Never have the people gathered in such
immense masses to greet any man. Not even
Jackson and Clay, in the very hey day and zen
ith of their popularity were followed, in their
travels through the country, by such countless
hosts. Living away at the extreme verge of the
Republic, separated from the heart and great
arteries of the nation by extensive plains and
deserts and the two giant mountains of the
continent, we have not as yet felt and during
the canvass will not feel the effect of that ter
rife storm which is now lashing to frenzy and
madness the political elements of the eastern
States. We cannot know how the pillows of
that vast ocean angriy surging and rolling
from the St. Lawrence 10 the Gulf of Mexico,
from Maine to Tansas-how its mighty waves
are furiously lashing and threatening with de-
struction the " Ship of State'-how its tremen-
dous bilows beat and break and roar around
the base Of the Temple of American Liberty
causing the patriot to stand speechless, awe
overpowered, terror-struck, lest in one of its fu-
rious assaults the pillars supporting that mighty
superstructure be broken, and it totter to its
fall" We cannot fully realize the fury of that
mighty co mmotion. We only know that tie
genius of National Democracy, maddened BY the
treason of men whom the party has heretofore
delighted to honor and trust, like a mighty gi-
ant untimely awakened from a midday nap,
is stalking forth over the States, crushing be-
meath its ponderous heel blatant as well as in
cipient traitors, and gatheri strength and
fuel with which, on the 9th of November next,
to utterly destroy and consume from the face of
the earth, which they polute by their presence,
The unholy fratricides who seek to mbrue their
hands in their brothers blood and like Samp-
son of old, overwhelm friend and foe in a COM
mon ruin.

necessiti cs of the government will require a
modification ofthe tariff during your present
session, for tho p rpose Of increasing the rev.
enue. In this aspect desire to reiterate tho
recommendation contained in my last two
annual messages, in favor of imposing spccit-
ic. instead OF advalorem duties ON all import.
ed articles to which these can bo properly
applied. From long observation and eXper-
ienoe am convinced that specific duties are
necessary, both to protect the revenue and to
secure to our manufacturing interests that
amount or incidental encouragement which
unayoidably results from a revenue tariff.
! As an abstract proposition 1t may be ad-
mitted that advalorem duties would in theo.
ry he the most just and equal. But il the ex-
perience of this and all other commercial na-
tions has demonstrated that such duties can
not be assessed and collected without great
fraud upon the revenue, that il ID the part OF
wisdom to resort to specific duties. Indeed,
from the very nature of an advalorsm duty
this must be the result. Under it the newt
able consequences is that foreign goods will be
entered at less than their true value, The
treasury will therefore, lose the duty on the
difference between their real and fctcious
value, and TO this extent we are dirauded.
Tho temptations which advalorem duties
present to dishonest importer arc ir-
resistable. His object is TO pass his goods
throu gh the Custom II ouse at the very lowest
valuation necessary TO save them from con
flscation. In this he too often succeeds in
spite OF tho vigilance of the revenue officers
Hence the resort to false invoices, one fol
the purchaser and another for the Custon
House, and TO tho ether expedients to defraud
the government. The honest importer pro
duces his invoice to the collector, stating the
actual price at which he purchased the article
abroad. Not so the dishonest importer anC
the agent of the foreign manu- aelurer. Ant
here II may be observed that very large
proportion of tho manufactures imported
from abroad are consigned for sale to com
