INNery from the teirltorles.

In l8O8-l0, the people of Indiana, on
account of the scarcity of Labor, petition
cd Congress to relax the Ordnance of 81.
If there had been belief in the minds OF
men at that time, that Territories could do
just as they please, why did the people of
Indiana make this petition? If there hnd
been such belief Congress would have
sent back their petition as superevognLorv.
But there was no such belief 'Thry went
to the very same power which Republic
cans of to-day believe have control of the
subject, and begged for power by law to
do what Democrats say they have a con-
stitutional right to do.

Mr.. Corwin said Douglas Popular Sow
ereignty is bald "bsurdity. He says
Congress may let slavery into the Terrific
ries, hat the Legislature may drive it out
The Territory is sovereign he says. Does
be say the people of a Territory may make
their own Governor? Ifthey have a right
to make their own laws, have they not The
right to create the officers to define and
execute their laws? Kansas starts up and
proclains her independence. and elects her
Legislature but the President Of the Uni
ted States appoints her Governor, who
says that two thirds of their Legislature
must make their laws If the majority
does it. this Governor crawling upon his
belly writes to Tie President, ''plcase you,
master, must l veto this law?" Well,
Douglas don't pretend that a Territory

Whatever may be the opinions of Courts
or Congress upon any subject over which
the popular mind has any control, the
popular mind will at last settle it,nnl this
slavery question which has so long agi-
tntcd has been settled in the minds of the
people, and it remains FOR them to give
their decision form and the vitality of law
through the balot-box. And, said the
speaker, it hns often seemed that it would
bc vast Improvement if the people
should write tie name Of their principles
upon their ballots instead of the names of
men. We organize ourselves into parties,
take our sides, and the first argument
made by a man to his ncighbor settles the
question, and he becomes Republican or
Democrat. II is so with :,ll parties, and
men dispute, not to understand how to
vote intclligcntly, but to exhibit their t'cx-
terity in argument Bat Let us now look

THE FATHERS.

Democrats say that Congress has no
power to exclude slavery. Now, don't YOU
lhtnk the Apostles understood what tglcr
in 1898, passed law prohibiting the in
PRODUCTION OF foreign slaves into the Ter
ritory Of Mississippi. Why? Because it
was a curse. If a Territory has the same
right rs State to manage its own inter
nal regulations, why did the fathers pass
this Mississippi law? And so in 1904.
they declared by law that no foreign
slaves should he introduced into Louisima
Territory. Did not these men understand
the meaning of the very instrument they
before them, and it was their opinion that
it gave them the power to prohibit slavery.
Examine the books. The very preface OF
the Constitution was an exposition of that
instrument. They who wrote i, must
have understood what it meant. 1t is
written i'll the cpitnpEs of all those men,
that Congress had the power to exclude
slavery from the territories.

DIVISION OF PARTIES.

We have now Republicans, Douglas

are to choose between them, and yet how
lightly do NC treat the questions before us.
If we were met here to-day to Determines
matter of pecuniary interest to us, there

to settle that, than we are to decide a
principle which involves the happiness
and prosperity of future millions. Such
is the weakness of, poor human nature,
forgetful of future happiness in providing
for mere present interest. Are we here
to-day to hear 81 man speak, to listen to
this music, to hear man fiddle, or arc
we met 10 inquire what we shall do for
our lasting welfare and the welfare of
coming millions.
TIE QUESTION.
WHAT'S the question before us? 1t is sim
ply whether slavery shall be extended into
the territories, or prohibited from going
into them? Suppose we had no COnStitn-
ton, and the question of'the Organization
of new societies shonld be presented
Shall the work to be douein the territories
be free or forced? How would every hon
est man decide it? Now we are all trying
to get away from work, but the infinite

work. We know that our welfare depends
upon obedience to that law. If we should

lands among the States, said that since

proportion. especially of the New-York, Massachu-
setis and California Delegations, did not wish him

the weight of character was also immensely against

David Wilmot. Thaddeus Stevens, and Gov.

Indiana, being decidedly, immoyaby adverseto such
nomination. In view of these and kindred facts the
omnipotence accorded to my efforts would be absurd
if il were not malicious. 1t is, in fact, keen hun
for dead mems shoes-the Grafton of Antony over
the body of the Caesar he hopes to succeed. I'LL
not for nothing that The Times hastens to announce
that Gov. Seward will not accept a reelection 10

post ia President Lincoln's Cabnet-that he will
defnitively retire from public life on the 4th OF
March next 1t is like the inscription on the Par

by his present assumption of sackcloth to forget
that no man has more steadily, systematically,
skilllully contributed to render the election OF Gov

Such nose as he has majorties will hardly be at

for Lincoln and IIamlin, shrewd politicians will

emf views be in favor Of endeavoring 10 abolish sisv
cry in the District Of Columbia, unless il would be
upon these conditions: First that the abolition should
be gradual second that II should be on vote OF the
majority Of qualified voters in the Districts and third
that COMPENSATION should be made TO unwilling owners.
With these three conditions confess would be ex-
ceedipey clad to ace Congress abolish Slavery in the
District of Columbia, and in the language Of Henry
Clay sweep from our Capital that foul blot upon our
nation

exercise Of that power unless upon some conservative
principle as conceive it, akin to what have sad IN
relation to the abolition of Slavery in the District OF
Columbia"
Such are the opinions of Mr.. Lincoln on THESE
Important matters. In some respects they do mol
accord with our own; but as they are his and mol
ours. we do not see how we can change them. III
will be seen that in regard to the Fugitive Slave
law he holds substantially the well-known views
of Mr.. Corwin; while as regards the admission Of
new Slave States, his doctrine is the same as mas
been put forward by Mr.. Seward.

The important debate in the Methodist General
Conference, as to the further permission of slave
holding BY church members in defiance of the true
sense and intent of the Discipline, is still going
on Two arguments urged in favor of taking
decided stand upon the question appear TO have
great force 1t is alleged, in the first place, that
in the border States saveholding has taken on a
character peculiarly Objectionable. The slave
holders are not merely shareholders, they arc
breeders of slaves for Southern market. Nor is
this matter of choice on the part of individuals.
1t is part Of the system over which individuals
can exercise little personal control. Methodist
STAKEHOLDER may not consciously set up rs breeder
of slaves for export, but who can tell how soon,
under an execution or an administrators sale, his
slaves may find their way to the pens designed to
upply the Southern market
Another point is, that as the shareholders have
of late entirely changed their ground on the sub.
ect of slaveholding, it has become necessary for
the church to make q corresponding demonstration.
Shareholders, even those among them who make
no pretensions to conscience or religion, used To
confess that Slavery was an evil-an evil which IL
was necessary to tolerate for the moment, but OF
which it was TO be hoped that the community
would speedily b. rid The slayehOlder' then stood
in the postion--and the Methodist Shareholders
among the rest--of an1iously waiting the time tor
an opening TO be made for the abolition of Slavery.
This ground is now oil changed. Slavery is now
