Judge WiiitKt; a'presides. With the htwy TH, litigants, 1 witnesses and spectators, Ihero was a largo | nttondanco the first two days. There is ? ! great ileal of business before tho Court, but none of very great importance. Besides the j time consumed this weak, an extra sesion is | spoken of as likely to -be ordorod. 2? n iiLuiw Aiuuuio in mo uamp. A discussion is taking plnco between eouic of the papors of this St.ite on tho subject of non-intervention by Congress in tho territories. In other words, that Congress has not. tin) power to iogisiato slavery in or out of a i territory", which is the common property of j the wholo country. We believe that nunintervention is tho correct prineiplo, and shell endeavor to mako it appear from time to time. An article in our columns this week puts the.matter in its true light. The Charleston Mercury is nlso belaboring : the democratic party with might and main, j AVc are no groat believor in parties as now organized, but it is not to bo disguised that tho democratic is the only party that Southern men can not with. It is act with this party or strike for disunion I Now, the latter alternative would be prcmaturo. What then? Why, pursijo the course tho State has followed for several years, and cease tho interminable wrangling among ourselves.? It is suicidal to tho last' degree. Watermelons.

Ho was to have expiated his crime about the same time with Foster; but as previously announced, his sentence was commuted by his Excellency Gov. Gist. " A more wanton, cold-blooded murder? one that more clearly exhibited " the heart devoid of social duty and fatality bent on mischief"?'the element of murder, has scarcely ever been perpetrated.

What these may have been we j know not. But there hm; seldom been man- | ifested more general dissatisfaction than that { felt in our community by this pimlorv. The l exercise of this power is a growing evil in i our State.

The nssun p lion of authority to exelude slavery, which had been nsserted i:nd practice^ under the Missouri Conproniise, was met by the countcr-d?c\rinc ?*f no'u-iittorveittiort. Hy two powers couM her institution be legislated, against?by Congress or by the people ofthe"?Territory. CongrpHS, if the right 1<? legislate was' coil6cdcd to It, wquldv it is thought, exercise it iuiriiieally. This doetrinc of non-intorvc-fion tied its hand, and left the people of the Territory still able. a? they were before, to act in reference to slavery. It conferred no more power uuoir the people than thoy possessed previ oiw to the compromise, which disqualified Congressional action. The point grained by tin) Smith was t.hat of the two powers;tlmt* which wns regarded as llic more dan- l gernus was disqualified.' T|ie HoUth accepted it as t.lui only practicul solution i consistent with her honor and lior rights, i We may dislike to acknowledge that the people of the Territory can control the question ; but wherever there is trial by jury then; will be popular power, whether we acknowledge it or not. Such was the result We now see tlio dangerous doctrineadvauocd that tlio South requires special protection from the Federal Government.
