The True Doctrine.

So that in regard to every description Of pro-
perty, including slaves, recognized and regar-
ded by the Constitution, it is the duty of the
courts OF the country to protect and guard it
whenever the question is brought before them.
To which / add that every good citizen will
admit that the decisions OF the courts within
their appropriate sphere must be sustained and
enforced. In common with many public men,
| hold that the existing machinery of our
government is inadequate to execute the decis-
ions Of the judicial tribunals. But should the
time ever arrive when decision of a compe-
tent court on question of private right is
like to fail for want of remedies to execute it,
THOSE REMEDIES, EXECUTIVE AND
LEGISLATIVE IF NEED BE, SHALL
BE AFFORDED, OR GOVERNMENT IS
A FAILURE, AND FROM THIS CON-
SION see no escape for any just mind
that would uphold the authorities Of the coun-
try.-FraHdJo1t Speech u John c. BreelsiH-
ridge, December 1859.
1t is idle to attempt to smother these great
issues or TO misrepreSent them by' the use of
partisan phrases, which are misleading and
delusive. The people win look beneath such
expressions as Intervention" Congressional
Slave Code," and the like, and will penetrate
to the real questions involved. The friends
of Constitutional equality do not and never
did demand Congressional Slave Code"
nor any other code in regard to property in
the Territories. They hold the doctrine of
non-intervention by Congress, or by Terri
torial Legislature, either to establish or pro-
hibit slavery; but they assert Certified by the
highest judicial tribunal in the Union) tie
plain duty Of the federal government, IN all its
departments, to secure, aolen necessary to the
citizens Of all the States, the enjoyment their
property an the common Territories, as eUery-
a0here else acittan its .jari8diction-.Joh'1 c.

NEVADA. wBDNEsDAY.-JULY 1850.


On Saturday next the people Of Nevada will
be called upon to vote on the propositions cub
mitied for supplying the city with wster for fire
purposes The two propositions will be found
on our fourth page. to which we again direct
the attention of property holders. Every voter
10 town should carefully examine the PROPOSE
tions, ascertain the. difference between them, so
as TO be able to vote intelligently. In voting.
the people should look alone to the interests
and future prosperity Of the town, without re-
gard TO beneftting individuals. Should the
proposition Of the Nevada Water Company be
accepted, Marsh has acquired no rights, aud of
course would have no reason TO complain. But
should the voters decide in favor Of Marsh. the
rights already acquired by the Water Company
would have TO be respected. They would sill
retain the right to supply water wherever their
pipes have been laid down, and woufdsoply be
prohibited from extending their works over
other portions Of the town. The citizens are
thus ena bled to vote for what they may con-
ceiye 70 be the true interests Of the town. with
out destroying any rights or sacrificing the pro-
perty Of either party. The acceptance OF
Marsh's proposition would give him no monop-
oily except in The outskirts Of town, and be
would be compelled 10 compete with the CON-
pany and with Mr.. Williams. who for some
years have been supplying the business portions
of the city with water. s
We believe every voter In the town is In fa-
vor OF "water," and II merely remains for the
citizens to carefully examine the two PROPOSE
lions. balance the advantages and disadyanta-
gees Of each, and decide as their judgments die
tate.

The debate in the u 5. Senate upon the eau
Gus resolutions reported by Mr.. Davis, of Miss
issippi, was brought to a close on the 25.h of
May, when they were adopted The fourth,
fifth and sixth resolutions Of the series, which
relate directly to the question which is now 10
issue between the two wings of the Democratic
party, read as follows
Resolred, That neither Congress nor Terrific
rial Legislature, whether by direct legislation leg
isatOn Of an indirect and unfriendy character pos
sess power to annul or impair the constitutional
right Of any citizen of the United States to take his
slave property into the common Territories, and
there hold and enjoy the same while the territorial
condition remains.
RESOLVED, That II experience should at any time
prove that the judicial and executive authority do
not possess means to insure adequate protection to
constitutional rights in Territory, and il the terri
torial government should fail refuse to provide
the necessary remedies for that purpose, II will be
the duty Of Congress to supply such deficiency.
Resolved, That the inhabitants OF Territory Of
the United States when they rightfully form CON
stitution to be admitted State. into the Union,
may then, for the first timc like the people Of a
themselves whether slavery, as a domestic insttu-
ton, shall be maintained or prohibited within their
jurisdiction; and "they shall be received into the
Union with or without slavery, their constitution
may prescribe at the time of their admission.
These resolutions we're supported by thirty.
Eve Democratic Senators, and were opposed by
Messrs. Douglas, Pugh and Clingman, on the
Democratic side, But the vote taken on the
platform, in the Charlest on Convention, shows
that the three latter Senators represent two.
thirds OF the Democratic party, while the thirty
Eve who voted for the resolutions represent
only one-third.
These resolutions we're intended as q sort Of
semi-ofacial exposition Of the doctriue of the
Democratic party upon the subject Of territorial
legislation. They are very ingeniously word.
cd. but amount TO this: That II the Territorial
governments fail or refuse to establish slavery
and protect slave property, il will DO the duty
Of Congress 70 afford such protection. This
preposssrous claim--so palpably at variance
with the principles Of free government, and 10
direct conflict with the doctrines Of The Demo-
cratic Party-will never be granted. Il Is q
fact worthy Of note, that Of the eight Northern
Senators who supported the resolutions, six
have already been repudiated BY their people
Thomson Of New Jersey, Bigler OF Pennsylva-
ME, Bright and Fitch Of Indiana, Rice of Min
uesota, and Lane Of Oregon-and there is no
prospect Of one Of them being reelected. Gwin
and Latham also voted for the reslutions or
Gwin this was expected, as he long ago repudi-
ated the principles of the Kansas Nebraska act;
bat from the tortuous course heretofore pur-
sued By Latham many had been led to believe
that be would support the Popular Sovereignty
doctrine

THE BALTrNoRE CsEvENTIoS.--The Democrat.
10 National Convention met at Baltimore on
the 18th Of June. and the Pony Express which
left st. Joseph about the Esd, will doubtless
bring us full report of the proceedings Any
predictions as to the result Of the proceedings,
would be mere idle speculations. There is no
reason to believe that there has been any ma
terial change OF opinion among tho delegates,
since the Convention adjourned at Charleston /;
Douglas is reported to have gained two or three
delegates in Massachusetts, and to have lost one
or two In New York. but these reports are not
very reliable. II there was any further boiling
among the delegates, the probability is that 1t
took place on account Of the action Of the Con-
vention In regard to the contested delegations
from some three or four Southern States II
the delegates from Georgia, Alabama and Lou
isiana, who were accredited both to Richmond
and Baltimore, were rejected, and the seats Civ
en- to those accredited to Baltimore alone, the
friends Of Douglas will have such large ms
jority Of the delegates that bis nomination can
not be prevented.
The Nevada Democrat. [volume] (Nevada, Calif.) 1854-1863, 1860-07-04

The Convention, called BY the delegates who
seeded from Che regular Democratic Con
vention a Charlestop.' met at Richmond on the
18th Of June, and organized By electing
Mr.. Liable, Of Texas, chairman. All the sece-
ding States, except Delaware, were represented,
and delegates were present from the seventh
Congressional district Of Virginia and the sec
ond district Of Tennessee. The only business
which seems TO have been transacted, was the
adoption Of resolutions declaring, that as that
ConventioH was called on the basis Of q slave
code platform it was unnecessary TO take any
action on the subject OF platform ct that time;
also, that when the Convention adjourn, IL do
no TO meet again at Richmond on June 2lst, un-
less sooner called together BY the President.
The resolutions were adopted by the votes Of
eli she States except South CarOlina--the dele-
gates from that State being ready to proceed to
business. The delegates from Alabama, Geor-
gia and Louisiana, who we're accredited both to
Richmond and Baltimore, had determined to
claim seats in the latter Convention, hoping
that they would not be admitted, and believing
that The delegates from all the Southern States,
and Of California and Oregon, would join them
10 case they were excluded. The delegates
from South Carolina and Florida had been in
structed not 70 go to Baltimore, consequently
those States we're not represented in The Demo
cratic Convent ton. The course pursued by the
seceders indicates determination to put up q
sectional candidate for President, on the prin-
ciple of slavery-protection in the Territories,
unless the Democratic party will adopt o plat
form to suit their sectional doctrines. The very
fact that they adjourned to meet again on the
2lss Of June, before the Baltimore Convention
could possibly close its labors, shows that they
had no expectation Of being admitted as dele.
gates In that Convention. We shall not be in
the least surprised II the next Pony Express
brings intelligence that the California and Ore
gon delegates are participating in the proceed
ings Of the sectional gathering at Richmond.
Austin Z. Smith holds the proxies Of nearly all
the California delegates; be was in favor of
boiling al Charleston, and no doubt he will find
some excuse for leaving the Baltimore Conven-

TIE DOUGLAS MEN FIRN.-The Richmond
correspondent Of the New York Herald, writing
during the session of the ssceders' Convention,
says:
From what heard Mr.. Mudd, the agent of
Douglas, say to q group of delegates at the Ex-
change Hotel il is evident that the followers of
the Little Giant have nailed their colors to the
mast, and that they will fight it out till the ship
sinks He was most violent and defiant, aud
said that the Douglas men would never surren.
der or patch up any peace with the South
that he had two-thirds of the people with him,
and that, in spite Of the South, he would be
nominated ut Baltimore. Mr.. Douglas game is
still "bFag and bluff" as ID was OF Charleston.
There is little prospect, therefore, Of reconcil-
iation at Baltimore.
The Herald and ell its correspondents are OPP
posed to Douglas, which will account for the
talk about "brag and bluff" game that was
played to perfection by the Administration fol.
lowers before the meeting Of the Convention at
Charleston.
