Extract from Mr. Brcckinridge's
Frankfort speech, last December.

Mr. Brcckinridgc has been speaking Of the Dred
Scoit decision and continues a. follows
We'll that being the case and Il having been author
itarely determined by the very tribunal to which it
was referred that Congress had no power to exclude
slave property from the Territory and Udiciay deter
mined that the Territorial Legisature-authorities
created by Congresshad not the power to exclude or
confste slave property, confess that had not an
tcipaicd that the doctrine of unrendly legislation
would be set up. Hence need not say to you that
do believe in the doctrine OF Hniendly legislation
that do not believe in the authority Of Territorial
Legislature TO do by ndirectOn what they cannot do
slifecty repose upon the decision of the Supreme
Court Of the United States the point that neither
Congress nor the Territorial Legislature has the right
TO obsIct confsate the property Of any citizen,
slaves Included pending the territorial condition lap
llau-e.
4 do not see any escape from that decision, il YOU
admit that the question Judicial one, if you adj
init the decision of the Supreme Court, and If you
stand by the decision Of the highest court Of the eoun-
arr.
The Supreme Cont seems to have recognized it as
The duty of the courts Of the UniOn in their proper
sphere to execute this constitutional right, thus ad-
iudcaed iIv the SupnzHe Count in the following Ian
,uage: Ia speaking of the acquisition OF Territory,
hey prpnoance il political question for Congress to
determine What Territories they may acquire, and
heR many. Now mark the words Of the Court;
Here follows quotation from the deeLlon-J
So that IN regard t. slave property a. in regard to
any other property recognized and guarded by the
Constitution il is the duty, according to the Supreme
SolEt of all the Courts Of the country to protect and
guard it by their decision whenever the question Is
Thought before them To which ] only add, that the
iIa3csl decisions must be maintained-tose judicial
decFisns musi be sustained Applause
III present Feucdes are adequate to sustain these
dst,ioas would have nothing more done. l. with
lsany other public in the country, believe they
are adeog1ate If they motif they cannot be en-
fessss for " It Of the proper Legislation to enforce
fbe,au s1sseieut legislation must be passed. or our
tioyorsme1t Is faihHe.

AxoTnER ALABAMA ELEcToR DEcLNEs.-Mr.
John Clisby, of Coosa one of the Bell and Ev-
erett electors for Alabama, has declined the hon
or. In his letter announcing the fact he says:
"The election, no doubt was made upon the
presumption, that having been Wing, ! would
necessarily support that ticket twas Wing
and American doctrine-and a cardinal ono, too
that of protection to property in the terrific
ries-and having advocated it then, and being
since Southern rights man, | could not aban-
don it to support men although once old Whigs)
nominated by profcssedly new party, and not
committed to any line of policy. What then
should I go to Why, to party advocating
my principles, of course, and that leads me, (up
on principle) to the support of Breckinridgc and
Lane, even at the hazard Of being called Dem
ocrat NssissippiaR.
