From the Springfield lIll.) Journal.
Clay and Douglas Coutrt~tcd.

The Douglasites contend that
"slavcs are property, and stand on an
equal footing with all other property.
The language used by Senator Doug
las in his New Orleans speech, ac-
cording to the Registers own report,
is as follows
"Thc Democracy of Illinois in the
first place, accept the decision of the
Supreme Court Of the United States
in the case of Drcd Scott. as an
authoritative Interpretation of the
Constitution. In accordance with
that decision, we hold that slaves are
property, and hence on an equality
with all other kinds of property, and
the owner of slave has the same
right to move into territory and
carry his slave property with him, as
the owner Of any other property has
to 20 there and carry his property"
1t will be seen that Mr.. Douglas
here not only commits himself, but all
the Democrats o! Illinois to the new
dogma, SO distinctly" and EEK
prcssly" according to the Drcd Scott
decision, affirmed in the Constitution.
Compare this doctrine with that
enunciated so eloquently by the Great
Clay in his speech in the United
States Senate, July %. 1850. Said
he:
Il am aware there are gentlemen
who maintain that. in virtue OF the
Constitution, the right to carry slaves
south of that line already exists. and
that, of course, those who maintain
that opinion want no other security
for the transportation of their slaves
south of that line CSC deg. 80 min.
than the Constitution. Ii | hal not
heard that opinion avowcd, should
have regarded il as one of the extraor-
dinary assumptions, and the most IN
dciensible position taken 10y man.
The Constitution neither create nor
does il continue Slavery. Slavery
existed Independent OF the ConStitu.
ton: and anteccdcnt TO the Constitu.
tion; and it was dependent in the
States, not upon the will OF Congress.
but upon tho laws of the respective
States. The Constitution is silent
and passive upon the subject OF the
institution of Slavery. or rather. it
deals with The fact rs fact that
exists, without having create |. con-
tinucd, or being responsible for it in
the States"
We ask ",hc Democracy Of Hi
noiS," we ask the old Wings Of the
Northwest. who is right: Stephen
\. Douglas or Henry Clay 3? DO
they believe with NJ. Douglas that
the Constitution places slave property
upon tho same footing with all other
kind of property. and that under the
Constitution it has the right to so in
to the Territories and be protected
there; or do they believe with Mr..
Clay. that such doctrine is lone OF
the most extraordinary assumptions
and the most indclensiblc position
taken by man ?" In the above ex-
tract Mr.. Clay states correctly the
principle of the Republican party,

view Of the final effect of Slave Labor.
But, considered from their own stand
point, what a suggestion does it pres
ent! Slavery has no future. Through
its own operation it destroys itself, by
making itself Improbable. and the
question which must come at last:
"What is to be done with it," is
carelessly passed on to succeeding
generations.

Now Real This.

Herschel V. johnson offered the
following resolution in the Georgia
Convention, June 4,h, 1860.
That the citizens of the Unittd
States have an equal right to settle
with their property of every kind. in
the organized Territories of the United
States, and that under the decision OF
the Supreme Court Of the United
States in the case of Dred Scott,
which we recognize as the correct ex-
position Of the Constitution in this
particular, slave property stands upon
the same footing as all other descrip-
tons OF property aud that neither the
General Government, nor anv terri.
torial Government can destroy or i'm
pair the right to slave property in the
common territories any moro than the
right to any other description of prop
erty; that property of all kinds,
slaves as well as any other species OF
property in the territories. stand upon
the same equal and Broad Constitu-
tional basis and subject to like prin-
ciples of recognition & protection in the
Legislative, Judicial and Executive
department of he Government.
