The Douglas National Convention at Ball
timore added the following resolution to their
platform:
Resolved, That IL 10 in accordance With
the Cincinnati platform, that during the ex-
is.ence OF a Territorial government the meas
ures OF restriction, whatever it may DO, i'm
posed by the Constitution, on the powers OF
the Territorial Legislature over the subject
OF the domestic relations, ~ the same has
been, or shall here after be, finally determined
by the Supreme Court Of the United States,
should be respected by oil good citizens, and
enforced with promptness and fidelity by
every branch OF the General Government"
BY reference to the bred Scott case il will
be found that the Court lays down the fol-
lowing principles of Constitutional Law:
'The right OF property in aslave is dis
Timothy and expressly affirmed in the Consti-
tuition, and that no tribunal acting under the
authority Of the United States, whether il be
legislative, executive, or judicial, has right
to draw distinction or to deny to IL the
benefit OF the provisions and guarantees
which have been provided for the protection
of private property. And If Congress itself
cannot do this---if il is beyond the power
conferred on the Federal Government--it
could not authorize Territorial Government
TO exercise them. Ii could confer no power
on any local government, established by ito
authority, to violate tha principles OF the
Constitution. The only power conferred 10
the power coupled with the duty Of guarding
and protecting the owner in his rights"
The Supreme Court expressly asserts tina,
the only power that Territorial Legislature
possesses 10 that Of protecting the owner In
his rights Of property in slaves, and it is the
duty of the Legislature TO do SO. And yet
in the face OF that decision and Of the plat
form of the Douglas Democracy endorsing
it, the leaders try to make the people believ'
that under the bred Scott doctrines the Ter
risorial Legislatures have right to prohibi
slavery.
Now, it 10 perfectly clear that the Dre'
Scott opinion not only declares that the slave
holder derives title expressly from the Con
stitution, but also afhrms, in so many words
that the Territorial Government 10 not au
thorixed to violate the principles Of the Con
stitution. The stakeholder has q right I
take his property to the Territories, and b
virtue Of the Constitution, which expressl
afhrms his right of property, to hold it there
while the Territorial Legislature has no pow
er to NEEDLE with, and is under obligation
to protect it. That 10 briefly the position {
the Court in the bred Scott case, endorse
bya party which 10 carrying on its campaig

1t will be seen, by a telegraphic dispatch
from Harrisburgh, that pure Douglas
Electoral ticket, pledged to the support OF

How II Wa Done In Portland.
The Portland Advertiser, of the llth inst,
says:
The early rally OF our friends TO the polls
was as vigorous and refreshing AZ the clear
atmosphere and glorious sky that overspread
them. The electors, too, catching the en-
thusiasm OF the Wide AwAkes, were also
promptly on hand, and in the doubtful wards
the Republican vote in the early part of the
day ran so far ahead that ii was evident the
battle was ours.
We had our challengers, men OF pluck and
muscle, ready at every ballet box to chal-
lenge the illegal votes which the Aldermen
had shamefuliy allowed to remain on the
lists, and this determined tone OF our Wide
Awake friends has saved VI the city. We
think We but express the universal sentiment
Of our friends here, when We say the Wide
Awake organisations have saved this city.

ken the task Of giving, ~ brief - may DO,
correct account OF oil matters OF interest and
Importance trsnspiring in this, at present,
deeply agitated community.
You were duly informed of the burning Of
Dallas and other towns Of Northern Texas,
and of the arrest and execution OF several
white men found tampering with the negroes
and sowing the seeds OK insurrection, and
many slaves implicated in the monstrous plot,
the object Of which was clearly ascertalned
to be the plumber and devastation OF the
richest and most highly cultivated and i'm
proved portions Of the State. Immediately
the hue and CRY Was raised that the incen-
diaries were Abolition emisssries, making
q raid into Texas similar to that OF John
Brown into Virginia; but within the last
week or so public opinion has been oorrect-
cd, and ii now seems established beyond q
doubt that the late fres are justly attributed
to Murrelism, acting under the gulse OK Alb
oltionism.
The full particulars have not yet been
made public, but when they are, people will
be astounded at the thoroughness and per-
lection of the plans OF tho marauders, and
how narrowly the people OF Northern Texas
have escaped fate worse than death. No
