1t is question for the decision Of the
people in their State sovereignty, and
! there may be propriety--there certain
ly is no improprety--in excluding the
exercise of any power in the territorial
government for the establishment or ex-
clusion of slavery.
K
It has been advanced that these people,
while a Territory, have right to do any.
thing and everything that belongs to the
rights of man. | cannot conceive that
they have. = y Z =
We have always gone upon the ground
that these territorial governments were
iu state of pupilage under the protec-
ton or patronage Of the General Govern
nent The territorial legislature has
a constitution prescribed by Congress.
They have no power not given by that
Congress They must act within the
liuits Of the constitution granted them
by Congress, or else their acts become
void. The people under tho territorial
government are not sovereignty; they
do not constitute sovereignty, and do
not possess any of the rights incident to
sovereignty. They arc, if you 50 please
to denomiuate it, ia state Of iuchoaLe
govornmentaud sovereignty. I'VE well
consider this question UPON the gro6Dd
of cur practice during the last half CEN
fury, think we viii find one way of dis
posing Of it. 1t is our duty to provide
for the people of the Territory govern
ment to keep the peace, to secure their
property to assign to them subordi-
nate Legislative authority; to assign to
them a subordinate judicial authority, to
see that the protection Of their persons
aud the security Of their property are all
regularly provided for; and to maintain
them in that state until they grow into
sufficient Importance, in point Of popula-
ton, to lie admitted into the Union as
State upon the same footing with The
original States. ltseems to ne tlalhat
is all our duty. Ishall most readily con-
cur in anything which tends to The per-
formanee of that duty. But ! cannot
90 into any general discussion about tho
rights Of the people while under the ter.
ritorial government, and do more than
they are permitted to do by that consti-
tuition which creates government over
them"

SIGNIFICANT. "a large number Of tho
journals heretofore advocating the cause
Of the Known Nothing party, have al
ready abandoned the " old gdntlcman's"
ticket aud come out boldly for Lincoln
and Hamlin We believe every paper
in Indiana which claimed to belong to
the " american party, is now ndvoca-
ting the election Of the Abolition nomi-
nees. and the last Of such is constantly
increasing This is the sort Of enthu-
siasm which Bell aud Everett are excl
ting--an enthusiasm for tho Chicago
nominees We see that the leaders Of
this pretended Union, American, Know
nothing party Of this State are uniting
with the Aboitonists and 50 it is gem
orally throughout the country. We
could name numerous papers that adyo-
Gated the election Of Fillmore and Dom
elson that are now the strong advocates
Of Lincoln and Hamin.
They know there is no chance for Bell
and Everett, aud their hostility to De-
mocracy is so great that they will 90
with any party to oppose them. Do the
people Of Maryland intend to follow these
Know Nothing leaders into the ranks Of
the Abolitionsts WilIthey like Davis
and Harris and Webster. vote for the
open enemies Of the South and her 10.
s,tutions. or will they foolisbly throw
their votes away on Bell and Everett as
.hey did on Fillmore? This is the ques-
ton for them to determine Ii they
prefer such insane and tcartlcss Adolf
tionists as Lincoln aud Hamlin TO ma
tional Democrat, be it so. Let all such,
however, have honesty enough TO follow
their leaders boldly. and give their votes
for the Abolition ticket direct, aud not
all in their election indirectly, by giving
their votes for those who have no possi-
BILE chance Of success. and whose nomi-
nation is simply diversion 10 favor Of

MARRIAGE CusroMs IN NEw Enc

fore the Massachusetts Historical
Society, that no record exists Of
any marriage performed by n
Clergyman in New England prior
to 1856, except in Georges Pro.
vince. by n clergyman of the Church
of England. The statement caused
much surprise and ELECTED consid-
cradle discussion. Ii was account
ed for 10y tho fact that marriage
was considered Ivy the Puritans to
bo a civil contract, and not a reli-
gious rite. In adjuring the forms
and ceremonies of the Established
Church as of shoots of Popery, the
marriage sacrament was also aban.
doned. Wiuthrop's History of New
England cantains the following -
"t64T. 4, 4th day, 9th month
There was a marriage to be solemn
lied at Boston. The bridegroom
being Of bingham, Mr.. IIubbard's
church, he was procured to preach,
and came to Boston to that end

present, and would bcstow a word

How TO CHosE A BARKEEPER. -
The last New York Atlas has the
following
In one OF The daily papers, the
other morning. there appeared an
advertisement in which the adver-
tiser says.
~ a,r barkeeper In small hotel on sta

snd want partner with $500. TO pur-
chase A" Address, dc.
Were we the proprietor OF n sa-
loon we should not eudevOr to Sc
cure the services of that "barkeep-
err" The feet Of desiring a partner
to buy out his employers business
is either proof positive that he has
been too honest TO patronize the
till after the usual fashion, or that
he has been an exceedingly short
time is the business-the latter
being the most probable. We all
know. doubtless, the story of the
proprietor of q well known Broad
way saloon who advertised for a
barkeeper. Upon an applicant
presenting himself the proprietor
put him through course Of qure
les:
"You want barkeeper's berth do
you 2"
Yes, sir"
"Um Have you n gold watch
and heavy vest chain !"
"No, sir" replied the astonisbed
applicant.
"A fancy wardrobe p

"Du you keep u fast horse =
"No, sir"
"Then," replied the philosophy

provided himself with these me-
cessities out Of somebody else's

The applicant thought he did.
and with u mental snilf OF very

We don't think q barkeeper, as
the fashion is now n days, who adj
vertises for partner with only
three hundred dollars capital" IN
dprstands the tricks of his trade
sufficiently. lie is evidently green.
The barkeeper generally makes
enough out of his situation during
the first year to buy out the estab
lishment, and hire his employer as his
barkeepcr. That Staten Island
genius ought TO be ashamed of him
self How can he ever expect to
become the conductor of a railway
train or treasurer Of a building and
land assoc 'atiun. If he continues SO
tamentably ignorant of tie value
OF his employers stray sixpences
and quarters, which come over the
