T'hrcc New Territories.

Near the close of the recent session of Congress
u bill was passed and approved by President Bu.
cnaSAN for the organization Of the Territories of
Colorado, Navada and Dckotah. The bill Meth.
er establishes or prohibits slavery in any Of the
territories, therefore they may very properly be
considered to be established on the doctrine of pop
ulnr sovereignty.
The new Territory of Colorado embraces the
famous Pixies Teak mining region, and Includes
parts of Kansas, Nebraska aud Eastern Utah -
/, has All area of about one hundred thousand
square miles, and contains about twenty FIVE
thousand inhabitants.
Nevada is taken from Western Utah and Cali.

ley.
Dakotah, which Is taken from what was form
ctly tho Territory Of Minnesota. lies Immediate

aud Iowa, and north and east Of Nebraska 1t

In the consideration OF tie bill establishing
these territories neither the utrais,s Of the South

In sl organized territories, nor the extremists Of
the "irrcprcssible conflict" school who say slavoty

Gently organized territories. They lett the qucs

Previous TO that sent this morning, the
majority report rcallirms the doctrine of
State rights and declares interference with
slavery by the Federal or any other au-
thoritios, or by the people contrary to the
Constitution, offensive and dangerous. -
Ii condemns the formation of geograph-
ical or sectional parties, demands a lair
partition of the Territories and equal pro-
lection therein, declares it is unwise. i'm =
polite and offensive to accumulate within
the limits of a State interested in the irri-
tatcd pending questions of the deepest
Importance, an unusual number of troops
and munitions of war and indulges in the
hope of a restoration of tho Union and
internal feelings.
Recommends the repeal of unfriendly,
unconstitutional legislation, and the
adoption of proper amendments to the
Constitution. Comedies the right of
States to withdraw for Just causes. AL
ludes to the position of the Federal Gov
ernmcnt, disclaimiming any power under
the Constitution to recognize withdrawal.
Without expressing an opinion on the
question of power, it desires to confer up
on the Government powers necessary to
deal peaceably with the questions involv-
ed, and if necessary recognize the separate
independence of the seeded States.-

following are its principal features:
No person who is foreign and not a

Under the first census South Carolina

Does MIR. Lincoln antcnd COcr.
ciDn or Not!

Can anybody answer this grave ques-
ton by reading the Inaugural? What
says Mr.. Lincoln? "The power confded
to me will DO used to hold, occupy and
possess tho property and places belonging
to tho Government, and collect the duties
aud imposts, but beyond what may be
necessary for these objects, there will be
no invasion-uo using Of force against OF
amongst the people anywhere" This
looks like taking by force the forts and
other federal property which the secession
lists have seized, and like blockading the
ports in the seeded States for the purpose
Of collecting tho revenue, Such course
if entered upon with energy and dispatch,
would unquestionably lead to war aud
uloodshel.
But this coercion talk seems to be merC
gasconade. for little further on in his
Inaugural, the new President says
"W here hostility TO the United States Ia
SO great and so universal as to prevent
competent resident citizens from holding
the federal offices, there will be no at
tempt to iorco obnoxious strangers among
the people Tor that object. While the
strict legal right may exist in the gov
crnment to enforce the exercise of these
offices, tho attempt to do SO would be Sc
irritating and SO nearly impracticable
withAl, that | deem it better for the tim,
to forego the use Of such Offices" And
near the close of his address he says
1.-The Government, my dissatisfied friend
will not asSNil you. We are not enc
mies, but friends. We must not be enc
mics" Suppose you go to war, yol
cannot fight ways; and when, after mucl
loss on both sides. and no gain to either
you cease lighting, the identical question
as to terms of intercourse, are again be
fore you"
! Now. if Mr., Lincoln means what h
says in the last.quoted sentences, wha
does he mean by his threat about re-pos
sesSiug the forts aud othor public proper
ty? Does he mean to let things renal
= in tho status in which Mr., Buchanan let
: them, or does he mean to use the Arm
and Navy for the purpose of retaking tn
forts aud collecting tho revenue? Nv
find that honest and intelligent men difis
as to what Mr.. Lincoln's Inaugural reall
means in this behalf, lit was iatende
> . to palter in a double sense" it must /
| allowed to be ono of the most successil
efforts ever made.
But while we say this much, we sti
= adhere to the opinion before expressed
aud that is, that the message will precil
