1t seems to us that statement settles the
question bat he afterwards, and in the same
speech. cliaches the nail, therein driven home
to the head In reply to Senator Clay, of
Alabama, Douglas said
Now the Senator from Alabama, asks me
whether the Southern people, under the Con
stitutiOn, have not the right to carry their
slaves there answered yes-thc same
right that. you have to carry any other prop
erty Then you ask, hare they not right
to hold It there 1chen they get It there II
answer, the same right that you have to hold
any other property, subject to such local laws
as the local Legislature may enact
There is the doctrine in Mr. Douglas own
words. Slaves are carried to the Territories
and held there under the Constitution on the
same footing as horses. And the Territorial
Legislature has no more right under the COn-
stitution to prohibit the introduction of slaves
or to confscate slave property or to discrimi-
nate against it, than it has TO prohibit the
or discriminate against them.
If Douglas maintained the opposite doc
trine at another time and in another place,
he may be expected TO lake his choice Of the
two hereafter, or assume a third one, incon-
sisteEt with either of these. But after this
presentation, we hope tbs editor Of the .I9nr-
nal will admit that we did not lie, but that
he was mistak en.-Gate City.

This remarkable and unexampled failure

through two years, upset, of course, all our
calculations, and falsitied all our estimates.
Instead Of earning, as had been reasonably
expected, upon careful calculations, $4,000
a mile Of road per annuin, our present ac-
counts exibit only S2,l34 mile for the year
the last five months showing a rate Of
$2,G7l mile per annum.

the current year, being only twenty per cent.
gain on the rate of TIL, last five months of
the past year, making S3,201 per mile Of
road, though it would a little less than half
realize our original expectations referred to,
which no one thought cxtravagent then,
would be more than sufficient to pay inter-
est and expenses.
These comparisons show that with mode
rate crops our road can more than pay its
way and that with the abundance of 1856
and prior years, it can undoubtedly earn a
good dividend.
The lands granted in aid of our road are
now undergoing explorations and examina'
tions by parties Of surveyors, preparatory tc
their sale

Let Douglas state his own Posi-
ton.

The Journal ofyesterday, is personal and
abusive over a matter that did not seem of
sufficient magnitude to excite such bitter
feelings. We give the Journals article in
full, and trust it will do us the justice to
publish our response. The Journal says
In the gate CITY, of yesterday, is a quo
tation from the Albany Evening Journal, in
which the editors of the latter state, that
Douglas insists that 1.-The Constitution carries
slavery into the Territories, whether the
p, ople want it there or not.
The Evening Journal makes a charge
which every man who has made himself in
the least degree familiar with the speeches
and writings of Senator Douglas, must know
to be grossly and unqualiiedly untrue
There is no hercsy which Mr.. Douglas has
combatted more earnestly or more successful
lv, than the one that the Constitution carries
slavery into the Territories. 1t is fully and
souarely met in his controversy with Attor-
ney General Black, and all men who, after
reading that discussion, will charge Senator
Douglas with insisting upon the doctrine
attributed to him by the Evening journal,
and retaled, second hand, by the Gate City,
is guilty of malicious and deliberate false
hood #
Ifthe Gate City is ignorant Of what Mr..
Douglas views really are, proper regard
| for its own reputation should be sufficient in
duccmcnt for its editor to consult the record
before giving currency to charges so grossly
untrue, and so easy Of refutation.
What the Albany Evening Journal charged
we now endorse in full and TO the letter, and
we will prove beyond question or cavil, by
the words ofDougias himself In the open
ing of his speech in the Senate, OF February
g3d, 1859, in reply to Senator Brown, o.
Mississippi, Douglas said
1--WE agree that under the decision of tn,
Supreme Court of the United States, slare'

/ ouen,ly, The owner of a slave has the same

tend protection to persons and property OF

is no new opinion. advocated the doc
trine as far back as l84S in the Senate Of the
United States. you have any curiosity to
see the argument, refer you to my speech
on the Oregon bill, delivered 9TH of July of
that wear, and reported in the Congressional
Globe How unjust, therefore, are the insin-
uations with which you intersperse and in
terland your editorial comments that all are
in favor of squatter sovereignty who happen
not to agree with the Seceders from the
Charleston COnvention! lrepel the insinu-
alton so far as it may be intended to apply
to me, come from what quarter it may, and
plead my own record in vindication."
Mr.. johnson has always been a Southern
extremist and not long ago declared his be-
lief that "the Capital Of the land, should
0ocn the labor of the land" Now where is
the practical difference between Douglas and
johnson and the other faction? And in the
face of these inevitable orclusions, is It not
the duty and interest of every free man of the
North, whether he has hitherto been Demo
crat or Republican, to vote for the triumph
of freedom and free labor? Then shall the
moral, social and political curse, and enemy
of our liberties, slavery, be forever limited to
its present bounds and the Constitution and
the Union brought back to the harbor of lib
erty justice and equal rights, where they
were built and moorcd by the fathers. II.

The deficiency being but little more than
the proportion of interest ordinarily charged
to construction, while the road remained
unfinished in an important part, was all
charged to that account
We have now good aud wcl-equiP9ed
road, extending the numerous lines from the
Atlantic seabord into the heart of the State
of Iowa, seventy five miles from the Mississ-
ppi River at Burlington, on n route which
must become one of the principal lines Of
travel across the State toward the Pacific, as
it comes in Nebraska without deviation, ex-
actly upon the present Travelled road, which
seems most likely also to be the chosen route
ofCongress for the railroad 70 California.
The business on our road, ): :all but suspen-
ded by the two years failure Of crops, and
the general depression resulting naturally
from such misfortune in an agricultural dis
trict, is coming up again steadily and sure

of an increase this year also, offifty per cent

The DOngi;,s DrcG scott PLANK

| The Douglas convention at Baltimore
pledged the party to the support of the Dred
Scott opinion and the decisions of the Su-
prcme Court.
What the Dred Scott case decides we find
stated, with emphasis in small caps and ital-
les, in the leading Douglas paper of the west
and south west, the Missouri Republican:
1st "Thc territory thus acquired is &C
quired by the people Of the United States for
their common and equal benefit, through
their agent and trustees, the Federal Coy
ernmcnt. Congress can exercise no power
over the rights Of persons or property ola
citizen in the Territory which is prohibited
by the Constitution The Government and
the citizens whenever the Territory is open
to settlement, both enter with their respect
i've rights defined and limited by the Consti-
tutionn
2d Congress has no right to prohibit cit
izens Of any particular State or States from
taking up their homes there, while it per
mits citizens Of other States to do so. Nor
has it right to give privileges to one class
of citizcrs which it rcfuscr to another. The
Territory is acquired for the equal and COM
mon benefit, and it must be open 10 all upon
equal and the same terms
Sd. EVERY CITIZEN Has \ eight TO TAKE
WITH HIM INTO THE TERRITORY ANY ARTICLE OF
PROPERTY WHICH THE CONSTITUTION OF THE
UNITED STATES RECOGNIZES AS PROPERTY
4th. THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED
STATES RECOGNIZES SLAVES AS PRoPETY, AND
PLEDGES THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO PRO
rEcT 1T. And Congress cannot exercise any
more authority over property of that de-
scription than it may cOnstitutioually cXcr
else over property ofany other kind"
9th. The act of Congress, therefore, pro-
hibiting citizen of the United States taking
with him his slaves when he removes % the
Territory, in question to reside, is AN EXER-
CIsE OF AUTHORITY OVER PRIVATE PROPERTY
WHICH Is NOT WARRANTED BY TIE CoNsTITU-
TON, and the removal of the plaintiff by his
owner to that Territory gave him no title to
Freedom" ..."
9th. While it remains Territory Con.
gress may legislate overit within the scope of
its constitutional powers in relation to citi-
zens Of the United States, and may establish
a Territorial Government, and the form of
this local government, must be regulated by
The discretion Of Congress; but with powers
not exceeding those which Congress i'selfby
the Constitution is authorized to exercise oy-
er citizens Of the United States, in respect to
their rights of property"
Now, it viii not do for the squatterites OF
Iowa to contradict this exposition of Douglas
Dred Scottish as set forth by the mammoth
journal of the party. 1t was because the
Dred Scott opinion decided thus that its en-
dorsement by the Douglas convention was
regarded as worth 10000 votes in Louisi-
ana. ......... ....
