fferent Presidential candidates on the question
of Slavery in :he Territories

Shareholder under the Constitution, to settle
in the territories with his slaves, and against
the Intervention by Congress with that right,
except so far as to protect him 10 the exercise
of his rights, if assailed."
"Mr. LINCOLN denies the right of the slave
holder, under the Constitution, to settle in the
Territories with his slaves, and is avowcdIy in
favor Of Congressional intervention to exclude
Slavery from the Territories"
Judge DoUGLAs coneedes the right Of the
Shareholder, under the Constitution, TO carry
his slaves into the Territories, but is opposed
u Congressional Intervention with that right
in any way whatever, leaving it to the dispo-
sition of the sovereign people of the Terrtor-
les"
"Mr. BREcKINR1DGE claims the constitutional
right of the Shareholders to carry his slaves
into any Territory Of the Union, and there to
hold them, in spite of any Territorial legisa-
ton the contrary, and is IA favor of protecting
this right now. ny the direct intervention Of
Congress through the enactment of a Slave
Code"

Canital Owning Labor.

Mr.. HerschelV johnson was very unfor-
tunate person for Mr.. Donglas to select as bis
second in command in the coming Presidential
campaign. Without much original force, with
no great popularity at the South, and almost
unknown at the North and West. his name Ia
any event, could give but little strength 10 the
ticket. Alexander Stephens OF Georgia, or
Andrew johnson of Tennessee, are men OF
GREATER caIibre and have much wider reputa-
fion. and if they could have induced to serve
with Douglas, might have frightened the pro-
poets of his almost forlorn hope a little. But
Mr. johnson, when his opinions shall be fully
made known and canvaSSed, is likely to prove
a dead weight to cause which is already so
heavy that it drags along the ground. He ia
not merely a pro-slavery man, holding to all
the peculiar notions of his region, but he is an
extreme pro-slavery man, who justi6es the in
stitution on its merits, and who would gladly
give it an unlimited extension. Indeed, if Mr.
johnson has not been miSreprcsented by the
reporters of his speeches. he is so ardently in
love with the form of society which prevails at
the South, that he would apply it in other
communities During speech which he made
on the l7th OF September, 1856, at Philadel-
phis, he defended that system in this wise:
we OeIleFe Cepltdl eHouiu own IdooE ; Is
there any doubt that there must be laboring
class everywhere? In all countries and under
every form of social organization there must be
a laboring cIass-a class of men who get their
living by the sweat of their brow and then
there must be another class that controls and
directs the capital of the country"
This philosophy, it will be perceived docs
not restrict the owning of the laborer by the
capitalist TO any special class of laborers-
Mr. johnson does not speak of races at all he
does not say that the negro workman only
should be the property of the white man Of
wealth but he lays down general PROPOSE
tion which includes all classes of laborers-
There must be, he argues, in every condition of
society. class of laborers, class that earn
their bread by the sweat of their brow, and
there must be class of capitalists but the
true relation between these is not the relation
which obtains in Europe and the northern
States of this Union, but the relation which
obtains on the cotton and rice plantations -
Capital ought to own labor everywhere. to
render the services of either effective. That
is the doctrine.
1t will not commend Mr.. Douglas to the
laboring masses of the North, that his confed-
crate entertains opinions which would reduce
them to level with slaves. .-Epening Post

amounting to 100000 sterling, or millions
of dollars. Trade generally is reported dull.
