ever was the true cause, the result
was the election of an exceptionally

have in hand. The discussioa Of
this subject is, perhsps, Of more in

OF that locality than to other people;
but in some respects it has peculiar
interest to the country ct large.
Numerous attempts have been made
there during the past few years to
induce the people to vote yea, on
the Constitutional Convention ques-
ton, but it was uniformly negatived.
as there was a strong odor Of J" ring"
and United States Senate in it.
There is a good deal Of the latter
aspiration in the present move, but
the people generally we're inclined
to overlook, ii not tacitly endorse,
anything of this kind, in considera-

The inhabitants Of a Territory have
no rights save what are extended
them by courtesy, and can only pur'
sue tho elittering vision of happi-
ness, etc., etc., in q way that ap.
pears to be patronizingly prescribed
by Congress, pretty much the same
as regulations and privileges are &C.
corded to inmates of such restraining
institutions as penitentiaries and in
dustsial schools. A person on tax
ing up his abode in q Territory
leaves behind him all the natura
rights and privileges attaching to the
condition OF manhood, and goes, III
it were, into voluntary exile, and ha,
no more right to q voice in the af
fairs Of State than prisoners, pau.
pers, and women" When Congress.
