All property i? entitled under the wonstiiunou 10 ?ucn legal safeguards as oir cuinstnucos may rentier necessary; ami spe cial legislation was essential to the exlonsioj and preservation of slav<> properly to ami it any 1'orritory. If thin legislation, sovitaln important to (ho Smith alike in political am industrial relation*, had b''on demanded am enforced at the outset of the anti-slavery contest, even to the alternative of a disruji tiollo' tlio Union, it wniilil linvtt nlitnin od, and thcro would not luive boon now iiii\ questions upon either physical or inornl vie tones or defeats lor tho South.

No events nor movements oai recover the loss?not even tho remedy of i'is union, nor the formation of a Southern Con federation, can conquer for tho South an e\ tension of her industrial system to any Tor ritory from which free labor may choose t< exclude slave labor. Tho result of this grea hluuiler anil nnlitipul ?'nwiivilii?i? ix ?ln> Slave Stntca are ami will lie permanently i> a minority, and tlio physical vic tory cluimet by Senator Seward tor the North is a " lixec fact." And to tins question whethor theques ti?m whether the South has grown weaker 01 stronger, relatively, in the Union, and in tlu matter of her direct political organic power hnt one answer can be given. She is wcukei nn<l grows weaker every day. But on the question whether in her slnv< institution itself she is weaker?and tliii question is totally different from that as to it: extension or that as to voting power?we en tirely agree with senator Hammond, that tin institution is impregnable and advancing t( <ri"-niitic and ovi'i-wholiiiinf urnnorlions. tlm o,i . . . o I .? ; ? all our injurious mi'l wcnkoning delusions about it Imve been dissipated, that tho civil izcd world have pcrforeo boon brought t< abate much prejudice and opposition to it that it will increase of ilsolf and by extrano ous supports. and that it will magnify iuto i vast political, industrial and moral power not only suflioiont for its own dcfenco Ain safety, but competent to give the South ! commanding inllucncc at home anil abroad If the growth and realization of this powe tie the " moral victory" contemplated by hiii the force of his argument is alike true ant important. And he urges it as a sou tec o hopo, grutnlution and confidence, and with out rei'eveneo to what may he the ultimat< destiny of its pi ?gress, or to how it may tern to either preserve or disrupt the Union; eith er result being to it subordinate and socondn rv in importnuco. It comes. too. with up signUicancy just nt the proclamation by Sen ntov Sewn id of a new issue?an issue wliicl involves the moral ami industrial question? I atihe very petting oftho brittle wlien this mo nl victory is to bo the guerdon of the grea contest. In his late speech at Rochester X. V., (25th Oct.| the arch leader of auti slavery proclaimed that the United State "must and will, sooner or later, become oith er entirely a slavvhuldiog nation nr entirely a free labor nation." Tbis means nbolitioi in tho States, in contrast to territorial ex tension. On this question, wc havo not on? never hail a shadow of apprehension. A1 Christendom could not, if it would, would no if it could abolish that industrial HVstem a the South, which furujshes the \'6ff life hloo< of its commerce and prosperity.
