Judge-M mde Law.

The actual difference between1he Douglas
and the National Democracy is simply, and
nothing more nor less, then this: The Ma
tionsl Democracy claim that Slavery shall
be protected in the territories by act of Con
gress; while the Douglas Democracy insist
that the Supreme Court can afford il ample
protection under the Constitution. Senators
Douglas and Pugh and Ben Samuels, in their
recent speeches, each declared that they were
willing to sustain such protective decisions
of the Supreme Court in behalf OF Slavery
with all the power of the National Govern
mept.
In view of this fact, we quote from q
speech OF b. F. Butler, distinguished Dem
ocrat OF Massachusetts, delivered since his
return from the Charleston Convention. OF
the Supreme Court and it's decisions he said:
Nine respectable old gentlemen of the Su
preme Court mean to cav nothing against
them. know them now, but want 20 ask
who they will be in ten years9 | would as
SOON have slave code made by Congress as
by the Supreme Court. Yes, sooner; be.
cause II II 10 made by Congress. We can re.
peal 10 III We like, but the decision of the
Court remains. The Judges are not amena
bic TO the popular will. They sit for life. 1t
was the history OF the world, and in Eng.
land 1t bad passed into proverb, that the
worst laws were made not by legislators bu,
by unjust judges.

TO control the entire trade and market Of the

not to blame for accepting such princely con

corruption in the Office of the Secretary OF

GREAT WnnI. CRoP In New MR,

GREAT Wool CaoP In New MKuco.-We
read in the Kansas City Journal Of Com
merce on the I'd inst:
Last week was lively one in the Mexico
trade. Wagons arrived with wool and buffa
10 robes nearly every day, and others were
being loaded with merchandise for a return
trip. One train brought in among 9th or
freight, 1855 robes for Col. w. w. Bent, and
on Saturday another arrived with 470 bales
Of wool.
Marcus Bierbaum left on Friday with ten
wagons and OK teams. This train was load
ed with Speidelberg Il Co., OF Santa Fe.-
Antonio Barker's train of thirteen wagons
and mule teams, left on Saturday, loaded for
John Webber, Of Fort Defiance.
Wagons are constantly loading at the house
of McCarty Il Barley, and we are informed
by this firm, that their receipts of wool.
robes and furs, from New Mexico, this week
will, by far, exceed the amount OF any week
as yet, during the season.
We we're informed by gentleman Just in
from New Mexico, that the wool crop Of that
country this season is unprecedented. One
firm at Tecoolti had contr acted for the fee
ees of 10000 sheep, which were to be shear
ed IN that city IN the month of Aprii, and
which was to be sent to this city by the frat
train. Wool growing has got to be great
business in New Mexico, and there is proba-
bly, no better country under the sun for the
business.

The Senate Homestead Bill having beer

Lovejoy, the original House bill was subssi'

the subject will 20 TO the Senate again.
The bin against which Mr. Hamlin voted,
and which the Democrats are bowling about,
was that Senate bill.
SENArK.-On motion of MIR. Wilson, the
bill for more effeotual suppression OF the
slave trade was taken up, and sundry amend
ments offered, to be printed and referred to
the Committee on Judiciary.
Mr.. Wilson made lengthy remarks in oppo-
sition to the slave trade, and in support OF
the bill for it's more effectual suppression.
Mr.. Davis's resolutions were taken up.
Mr.. Toombs made long speech, conclud-
ing by calling on his political friends to put
the stamp of dsapproval on the doctrine of
squatter sovereignty. There was CLEAN OF
light coming from Chicago; Actaeon had been
drowned by bic own dogs. He called on the
Democracy to unite against the common foe,
and while indicating the Southern seceders
Of Charleston, wanted them to return TO Bal
tmore with the view of uniting to beat the
Republicans.
MIR. Hammond read brief legal argument
against squatter sovereignty.
MIR. Pugh explained briefly; be should vote
for most OF these resolutions.
Mr.. Hale could tell his Northern Demo-
cratic friends that the Southern wing always
would control the party. The great object
of the federal constitution was the establish
ment OF an independent judiciary.
He charged that the action OF the Dem
oorAcy vas to defeat the action OF the found
ers Of the government. In this respect il
filled up the bench with politicians, and
worse than that, sought TO make the Supreme
Court sort Of stake-holder between CON-
tending parties.
