Revolution. Well, the right of Revolu
tion is admitted, but claims resting on
that foundation must be made good by
success. The vsry assertion, however, ol
such doctrine, is an abandonment of the
argument.
An elaborate effort has been made to es
trblish an identity of relation between the
Colonics to Great Brilian, and a Territory
to the United States. The opinion of Mr
M adison on tint causes of t!i? Revolution is
h* follows . I will tiiank tny friend to rem!
it.
' Tho fundamental principles of the Involution
was, that tho Colonies wore eo ordinate
weathers with each other, and with
Great Britian ; of an Empire, united by a
common Executive sovorign. but not united
by any common legislative soverignj- The
Legislative power was maintnined to be as
complete in each American parliament, as
in the British parliament. And the rovul
pierogative w aa in fmce in each Colony, by
virtue of its ncknowleding the King tor its
Executive Magistrate, -is it was in Great
Britian, by virtue of a like acknowledgment
there. A denial of these principles by
Great Britain, and the assertion of them by
America, produced the Revolution."
Mr Madison adds, in substance, that tacitly,
and for convenience. Great Britain was
allowed to regulate the trade with foreign
Nntions, and between the different parts of
the Empire. But, when it was asserted
that Parliament could legislate for the Col
rnics in all cases uh oecer, it provoked
such enquiry as sheweu :t could do so in no
case whatsoever.
If then thoy btHnd in relations identical or
nnalogous, what is the true condition of the
Territories 1 They are co-ordinate members
yvuh each other, and with the United States,
of a common Empire.
The Legislative power in the Territories
is as complete as in the Status and in the
Congress. And, Congress has no right to
make laws for them in any case whatsoever.
? nvnr, iruiy are rti^u pretensions, Tina, il
well founded, the action of the federal Gov
eminent, in relation to the Territories, from
the beginning, has been and idle farce.
i^et uh now taken practical view of the
question, nnd see how we stand in relation
to it. Anterior to 1850, the acquisition of
Territorv from Mexico brought into full play
the hostility of a large portion of the North
to the system of African slavery, as it exis
ted id the South, and revived the old question
of sectional power. The conflict between
the parties became so bitter and intense,
that the Union shook to its centre.?
Strenuous efforts were made to allay the
sti rm. Tl e panacea lor all the troubles ol
the Government was applied, and a com
promise awaged the distemper for a moment
By the very act of compromise, Texas was
dismembered, the Executive proviso in re
lalion to California ratified? thus excluding
the slaveboiding Slates from the chance to
enjoy the benefit of that rich acquisition ?
There were some acta indebted to be compensatory.
The question, however, not being
fully settled, it passed over to the Congress
of 185-1 That body, then, took up
the Territorial question for tiiial sett lenient
The cireuiiistaces attending the matter, are
of such recent occurrences that I will only
allude to them, by saving, that one portion
of the Democratic party, held thai ( ongrc.-s
had the right to prohibit slavery in a Territory,
and sought to induce the exerciss of
that powei. The o'her portion, not only
denied the right, hut utiiruied llmt, slnvery
war recognized in "he Teriitory, and pro
teeted there by the Constitution. The sub
ject heeiitne so vexatious, and so fruitful of
evil, that both sides agreed to banish it front
the Hulls of Congress, and abide the decision
of the Supreme Court of the United
Slates, as to which view was correct.?
Hence, by the "Kansas-Nebraska act," Congress
conferred all 'he power of local legis
lation which it had, on the Tcrritoiies, to be
exercised bv them, subject to the Cnnstilnlinn
of the United States with the Supreme
Court as interpreter, if that tribunal, upon
appeal, should decide that Congress had the
right to prohibit slavery in the Territory,
then, (Congress having conferred all the
power it hud on the subject, to the Territorial
Government) the Territorial Government
could likewise do so. Hut, if the Su
preme Court should decide that Congress
had no such right, and tliut slavery was re
cognized and protected in tin Territory, by
the Constitution, then, of course the Territorial
Government had no such right, and could
not prohibit it there, Hut, on the contrary,
standing in the place of Congress, and as its
agent, like Congress, ii i\ ould be bound, not !
only to tolerate, but to protect property in
nlares, us it would nil other kinds of property.
And, when the inhabitants of the
i erniory, hi me proper manner, became the
people of a Stale, tin y could, and would,
like all other States, deal with the subject
as they pleased. It'this be the nrritgemeiil,
it is wise and just, and for one, I am willing 1
to abide by it. Hut, some new ideas have I
recently been advanced on the subject, and,
if thoy prevail, must destroy every feature
of a wise and just arrangement, and leave it
a delusion and n sr. a re. Let us glance at
some of tliem.'
It is nllirmed that a Territorial I.egislalatnro
may, within the limits of the Constitution,
bv doing, indirectly, w hat it cannot
do directly, accomplish all the purposes of
plenary power over the subject. First, by
*iinf riendiy legislation. Secondly,non-action, i
and as ancillary to these, by limiting the j
jurisdiction of the Courts. I deny them
all.
The potency of "unfriendly Legislation"
is to exhibit itself by discrimnaling systems
of taxation, and by a perversion of this taxihg
power, ?? well as by non-action. Let
us consider them. The power to tax is vested
in all constitutional Governin -nta. and t
especially in our American systems, for lire j
purpose only of raising revenue?revenue. ]
the main purpose of which is to protect the ;
property, out of which it arises, as well as 1
the persons who own it. To maintain,!
therefore, that the power to tax, can, w iihiu
the limits of the constitution, be us d with i
a view to destroy the very thing lor which
it is vested as means of protection, is an ab- ,
surdity 1 will venture to uthrm that there [
cannot be found in the civilized world where i
constitutional Governments prevuii, a res
Iiectahle court that would not dechue such |
.cgisiaiiuii unconstitutional and void.
Hence the importance of keeping the 1 '
courts onen to meet tin- imfri?i./ti?/ t ....i-i- I
- - j - a1 '" i
lion, nn?1 the etlecta of nun action And |
hence the anxiety to clo*e then), that such
purpoxfs niny become elK-ctual.
f itffirLit t.'iat tbe cuuriM, Territorial and
Federal, in their proper order, will and muni <
take jurisdiction of all cau.-en properly in- <
atituted, to determine the ri^htx of proper
ty, no mutter whether tlint property be in
alnvea, clockn or oxen And, lliey will ,
have jurisdiction under the constitution, ,
Without statute. Hut, if a Territorial-l?eg
ialature should undertake to limit the juria '
diction cf its courts, no as to exclude the I
rights of aluv.- owner*, then f under'ake to i
aay thai, huvto# lliua manifested t> purpo?e (
to nu>ka wsi upon pioperty instead ot giving
it protection, it has ceased to perform the j 1
main (unction of Government, and outfit to '
be uboliaiied. No one having a just concep- |
rion of the object* of Government, can lies- I |(

Thus, gentlemen, ^have stated my opin- 1
ion of the necessities of the South ; and re- I
commended such conduct as will be most j
likely to produce harmonious and concerted
action. I have presented also inv views of I
the lending issues before you, with candour
and 1 hope with becoming deference. I
trust however, I am not one of those so in- j
cased in the armour ot self-conceit that lite i
penetration of any ray of light will be int. '
possible. I do not cultivate tliat kind of j
consistency, which cat, contumaciously confront
the truth in spite of conviction. Hut
my opinions, though not elaborated with
the care and preciasion dm to the occasion.
are deliberate. They are before von to be
vnnvuoued, criticised, adopted or rejected, aa
they may have in them the force of truth,
or the weakness of error.
As to the future of the South, who can
compass it? What prophet's eye can pierce
the veil? Who can foresee the full bearing
and final disposition of the munv contingencies
which come athwart its destiny.
These determine the future, and they are
for the pen of higher powers. X'*'* we
kno a?should distraction, \ aeiihition, weak ness
prevail ? if the South shall draw her
counsel front love of ease or fear of danger,
from, unwise heat or noisy selfishness, then
her destiny is dark. If united counsels,
wisely governing, shall |dant her on her
rights, and maintain her there with the firiu
ness of calm conviction, the future brightens,
and her duty will be dune.

Merchants, it would seem, have, this
season, prepared for a more than ordinarily
brisk trade, and the propitious napeol whieli
the times present have warranted them in
doing so. All industrious people can afford
to buy liberally in the face of an average
crop year and cotton ranging at the present
rates. Where to buy, will be abundantly
answered by a reference to our columns.?

is evidently destined to mainiain a permanent

is one of thnae diseases which baffles the skill

to act upon the bowels never seems to

to get a remedy that will rvaeh all the digestive
