Territorial Sovereignty Vetoed by Gov. Black.

The Territorial Legislature of Nebraska having
passed an act to prohibit slavery in that Territory,
Gov. Black has returned the act unsigned, with his
objections The veto message of the Governor is
brief, but it furnishes the strongest arguments
against this assumption of power by Territorial
government Indeed no one it seems to us, has
argued this question with more force, compression
or ability than Gov. Black. He has seized all the
strong points in the argument and so presented
them as to challenge reasonable objection answer
There are few slaves in Nebraska. They have
been taken there not for profit, because the climate
and soil are not suited to slave labor but their own
ers emgrating to that Territory were unwilling to
leave their family servants behind them. But even
this poor privilege is refused by the abolitionists
The Legislature may pass the bill over the Gov
ernor's veto, and in that event the question will be
referred to the Supreme Court There can be no
doubt as to what will be the decision of that tribu-
nal. 1t WILL of course, sustain the Veto But Mr..
Seward proposes to reform the Supreme Court, and
"put it permanently on the side of freedom" With
the President, both branches of Congress, and the
supreme COurI against our CONSTITUTIONAL rights,
what could We hope for as a people either in the
Territories or in the States?
Gov. Black is Pennsylvania Democrat He un.
derstands and knows how to apply the principle Of
popular sovereignty. Governor holding the doc
trine of Squatter or Territorial sovereignty as ex
pounded by Senator Douglas, would Of course have
approved the bill
PATRIoTIc.-We learn from the Warrenton Meas
that the Hon. Weldon N. Edwards has contributed
$50, and Gen. Thomas j. Green 500, to aid in arm
ing and equipping the military companies of War
rem county. The last Neus contains bold and pa
triotic letter from Gen. Green the state of the
country, and the best of defence against oul
abolition enemies. We call the attention of the
North to the fact that our young men are arming
and that our old men prepared to aid them with
means and advice, ard, if necessary, with arms also
in their hands Sin the imminent deadly breach
The whole North could no more conquer North
Carolina than North-Carolina could conquer New
York. We are determined to have and enjoy al
our rights at all hazards, happen what may. Lei
Seward and his followers look to it. North Caro-
nans will never be his slaves or the slaves of any
man. If he thinks he can subjugate us, let hin
try it if he should ever get the power.

The CONDITION OF THE HoUsE.-One of the Wash
ington correspondents of the New York Herald says
"The galleries are daily appealed to in general
terms by intammatory arguments and often in Ian
guage direct To-day, SO loosely was the business
Of the House conducted that the members themselves
presented more the appearance of disorganized
mob than that of the greatest deliberative body
in the world; and under the impusive retort
of member from Arkansas to the remark of a
member from New York, the galleries, from the
example set them by the members caught up
the fever of disorder and broke out into the loud
est cheers The Clerk appealed to the people in the
galleries to preserve order, rebuking the House at
the time for setting the example Unless those
who profess to represent the people give better
evidence that they arc capable Of governing them
selves than they have done thus far they had better
not attempt to govern Others"

and showing the hostility of the North. The Gov

tY- The press of the State of both parties seems
to approve of the determination at which Gov. Ellis
has arrived Of not converting the Legislature at this
time. The Washington Dispatch says:
'Some of our contemporaries have been urging
Gov. Ellis to call an extra session of the Legislature
and some of the people have backed the call, but
the Governor is imperturbable. He no doubt has
his eyes and ears open, but he moves in such mat
tiers at the nod of tho masses. He is right There
is wisdom in waiting in grave matter Of this kind
when people at their wits end. What is neces-
sary to be done now, ought to have been done be-
fore now, and it may be DONE if ever twelve months
hence as well-nay, great deal better no doubt"

State of South Carolina to the State Of Virginia ad
dressed both Houses OF the Legislature in of the
ablest speeches delivered in the House of Dele
gates"
The Enquirer adds:
Gas to the immediate object of the mission and
speech that Of q Conference betaoeen the Southern
States We cannot see how or why any man should
oppose it. We do not believe it will be opposed by
any man who Is not willing to fall down before the
Union with Seward as its chief The people of Vir-
ginia have already expressed by public meetings,
their determination not to submit to the election OF
a Black Republican, and it well becomes the Legs-
lature to accede to this Conference and enable the
Southern States by interchange of views, to de-
eide upon the course of action best and proper for
their adoption. We therefore, most earnestly hope
the proposition of South Carolina will be speedily
acceded to, and Commissioners appointed. We
believe it will be the best means of producing a
favorable effect upon the excited public mind of OBJ
tanning justice for the South and of securing the
equality and union of the States"
