in the prolonged struggled. The Democrats
feeling discouraged, and dcspairing to unite
tho Americans on any Of tlicr number,
have, broken out into disunion speech making
again. They ysro pouring tur.,id flood Of trea~-
son before the House. The Northern Demo-
Gratis have surk; into silence and are afflicted
with awful forebodiugs Of what is in store for
:: them; in the future.- None Of them hare the
moral courage to rebuke the reasonable senti-
mcnts arowed by their Southern political uzso-
ciatts. They grumb1c and complain to the Re-
pub'icans and iay they can't stand it mitch
lougdr; but when in The presence Of The South
ern lords, they arc dumb, aud open not their
mouths. But these remarks do not apply to
such Northern members with Southern princi-

These persons regard the disunion vaporings Of
the Are.eater*. us the cnunciation of orthodox
democratic doctrines. They are disunionists at

ocra.s and Republicans perfectly agreed III their
views.
The States may prohibit slavery within tl.cir
own borders ii they choose; but no such power
is reserved to the Territories, because tle Tcrri-
tories were net parties to the formation Of the
Constitution. Tlcy have nothing reaersed.

His two days argument was merclr an elabo-

that there must be a reaction ofsentiment in Tho

One thing is becoming apparent in all the re-
cent Southern speeches, viz: That the Douglas
Democrats are IL olious III tue eyes Of the South
as the Republicans; that Popular Sovereignty
is denounced with as much bitterness US the JEFF
lerson Proyiso. and that the right Of tho people
Of the Territories to legislate against slavery is
denied as emphuticallr and pcremptory as tho
Republican opinion Of the right ot Congress to
exclude slnrery from them. 1t will not be many
months until the frs-eaicrs will openly declare
TINT tbs election Of Douglas TO the Presidency
will furnish good cause for d;sso1riug the Union.
When asked the question now, they reply that
the South will consider what course 10 pursue
when the event happens. And ret there are in
