Congress, or in the Judi ciary, and not; id the, people specially inter ested in the question, aud therefore .specially qualified and entitled to decide it. This battle isnot a new one In/thehlstory of our cotintry. It ,is true that it is a long tlmo since itj'has arisen in Its presentshape j for, after the enactment of tlio ordinance •of 1787, the /Missouri Compromise, the attachment of the Wilmot Proviso to the hill organizing Oregon Territory, arid its long-threatened application to. Jail the new,Territories of-the. Union, the warmest friends ,of -the. South and her pe culiar institution asked for no greater boon thin that Congress should not interfere-to prohibit slavery- hr the -Territories, and that their people" should lie allowed to establish it, if they desired to do so. ' Still, tho very . principles and the very question now at issue in- the,Democratic party have heretofore been the subjects of serious and angry controversy. But jt was between ,tho home Government of Great Britain, and the’ American Colonies, previous to tho Bovointion of 1770—for from that time up to a very recent date, no one has been found, arrogant and tyrannical enough to announce himself a champion of tho ultra-Tory' theories which our ancestors Were compelled to resist by. force of arms, in their ’memprabie'struggle for Independence. . The able articlo written by Judge Doughs, published in the September number of Har per’s Magazine, oil “ the dividing lino be tween Federal and local authority,” contains ; an 1 extremely important and interesting history of the difficultiesbe tween the American colonies and th'e British Government, in regard to the slavery question! While till the colonies tolera ; ted and protected slavery, it was found at certain Btages of their history that its extension among them, or an increase of tho number of import ed slaves, was considered prejudicial to their welfare, and Hence! they ondoavored by colo nial enactments toprovent tho further importa tion of slaves, inasmuch, however, as British merchants- wore at this time reaping largo ' gains from tho Blaye;tTade, they were bitterly opposed to any interference with their traffic, and therefore induced tho British Government do; make repeated attempts to restrict the pow ers of the Colonial Legislature, and to prevent ; them from prohibiting, or/by “ unfriendly le • giblatipn,” raising obstacles in the way of, the ' further introduction of slaves into'thls country. . Virginia enacted laws imposing a fas upon - every .slave imported should serve more, than ten years, at the end of which time he .was to be sot freer Massa chusetts toposed hoivy taxes upon dll slaves brought Into the colony, and finally prohibited their introduction under any circumstances. Pennsylvania,' under , the advice of Wiixiah Pens, substituted .fourteen years’ service and perpetual adscript : to the soil for hereditary slavery. .In, 1764, South Carolina passed a law impoßing apcnalty of one-hundred pounds for- every negro, slave subsequently introduc ed into "that colony. All of the colonies claimed, and repeatedly exercised, file right of , « forming and, regulating their own domestic , institutions,” tlftvery included, by enactments designed to ensourage, protect, abolish, or prohibit that institution, just as tho States of . the American Union have been in the habit of doing since tho adoption of tho Federal Con stitution. Tho home Government, however, : under tho influence of British merchants in ; the slav.e tpijde, made repeated efforts to invade ' the‘colonial rigtije pf self-govenimeht, which were , sometimes too 6#cpe?B|ul, and which caused great- irritation in tho cotohjap. Tlius tho'King issued “peremptory orders to the Royal Governor of Virginia, and to tho Gover nors of all the'other British colonic'B in Amc rica, forbidding them to sign or approve any colonial or provincial enactment injurious' to be Jfrican slave trade, unless Imch enactment . should contain a, clause suspendjpg its opera tion .fiiitil his Majesty’s pleasure .should he mode knoim in the premises-” ' j For a long period,’ one- of the greatest grie vances of; the .colonies was this, arbitrary edict. Virginia was particularly hostile to it. In 1772 ,hfr Legislature, petitioned the Kingto.«re movo all thoso restraints which inhibited his Majesty’s Governors assenting to sueh laws as might: cheek so very pernicious a comnjerce as Slavery,” and this petition set forth that— '“'The' importation of Slaves Into tho colony from' the'ooast'of Africa hath long been considered as a triade of great inhumanity t and under Its present encouragement we have too much reason to fear mil endanger the very existence of your , Majes• ly's'AmcHcpndominionsf ' '. ; ‘ iThe prayer of tho. colonists not being granted," the people of Virginia considered tho refusal to permltthem to control axd regulate the slavery question by their own local autho rity, ns" ono'of the principal causes which jus tified them in revolting' against tho mother country, Judgo TboxEß, of Virginia, says: ■ “.This petition produoed no effect, as appears from tho first olansa of onrfVirgintaj Consticntion, when, among other acts, or misrnle, the inhuman itee of the royal negative in refusingne [the pee/ pie Virginia], permission to exclude slavery from -ashy law, is enumerated among the reasons for separatingfrpd Great Britain. - Judge Docopas, in commenting upon tlie above fact, says,: . .. “This clause in the Constitution of Virginia, re ferring to tho inhuman use of. the Royal negative, in refusing -, the. Colony of Virginia permission to exclude slavery from her limits by law as one of the reasons for separating from Great Britain, was adopted on the 12th day of Jane, 1776, threo weeks undone day proviouß to.the Declaration of Inde pendence by the Continental Congress; and aftor remaining in force as a part of the Coustitntlon for a period of ,fifty-four years, was readopted, without alteration,’ by'-'the Convention whioh framed the new Constitution in 1860, and then ratified by the people as a part of the new Constitution; and was again readopted by the Convention which amended -.the Constitution in 1850, and again ratified by the people as a part of tho amended Constitution, and at this day , re mail,., a portion of the fundamental law of ytrginia— proclaiming to the world and to posterity that one of the reasons for separating from Great Britain was ‘ the inhuman use of the Royal negative'in'refdsing us [the Colony of :Virginial permission lo exclude slavery from'uS bylaiaV "A- , . , ; Another- striking evidence of tho hostility between'the American colonies' and Great ■Britain ou tho slavery question, and tho uni-, formity pf feeling among theformor, is afforded by tho fact that the second article of the Asso ciatkra of Nori-intercoursc, which was unani mously, adopted by tho Continental Congress in 1774, and signed by the delegates from all joto colonics, is as follows: (i That we will neither import nor purohaso any Slave imported after I 'tho first’day of Dooember next;’ after which time Wo will wholly discontinue the slave trade,and will neither be concerned In it lurseives, por prill, wo biro our vessels, nor sell our - lommodltles ar mmiufoetures to those who are en gaged in it:”. v'iTliese-fhotsi together with many others, whieh wo.have riot,space to enumerate hero, cieariy prove that one of the gravest subjects of coritrbvcrsy -between Great, Britain and the - American .'colonies, was - tho right 'con stantly-claimed by the latter, and denied by tho former, ti> regulate the slavery question, THE PRESS.—PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1859. Mia'to prohibit tho further’introduction gf slavesinto America.. i v A precisely similar question is now at 'issue In our national politics.' Men aro found ready to claim for the Federal Government the ar bitrary powers’ which tho' British' Ministry oxorcised in the last century, and to deny, to tho citizens of our Territories tho sacred rights which the American colonist? claimed, and which they were eventually conipcllcd to onforco by an appeal to arms. Ifo look hack with indignation upon tho .blindness, inconsistency, and cruelty of those early colonists of New England, who, after floeing to America to onjoy “religious lib erty” and to escapo the religiouß persecutions which threatened them in their native country, inflicted terrible punishments and oven death upon those who refused to endorse tboir 'pecu liartenots. Yet their conduct, odious ub tho whole world regards it now, was not a whit more inconsistent than that which our Government would bo guilty of, if it rcsolvod to forco slavery upon the Torritoriesagainst the will of their ih habitants, arid thus tfssumod towards them tho same harsh, cruel, and unjust attitudo which the British Government assumed to the Ame rican colonies, and which tho latter revolted against. We cannot boliovo, howover, that these schemes'willbe successful j that tho oppressed will in turn become the oppressor! that we, as a nation, will deny .to our «infant colo nies” tho liberties which, as ‘'infant colo nies,” wo claimed from Great Britain, and which we considered a denial of, on her part, tho most tyrannical and oppressive measure that had ever disgraced her history. Whilo wo are astonished that oven in the Soutli any considerable number of men should bo ready to endorso the 'theory of- Congres sional . intervention to establish and protect slavery in the Territories, we are ready to make some allowance; for the perversions of judgment to which the pecuniary interest that many of her'citizens have in all that appertains to slavery naturally subjects them " If self thewavenog balance shake, *Tis rarely risht adjusted i ” and therefore it is not very remarkable that some slaveholders should bo found ready to adopt any means of increasing the valuo and security of their property that may he suggested to them.’ Tho same motive? which prompted tho.British' slave-traders to urge the British Government to invalidate the acts of the Colo nial ‘ Legislatures, • may operate upon the minds of thoso who aro anxious to see slavory extended into our new Territories, nnd esta blished,' fortified, and secured there, even against the will of their inhabitants. But there is nothing to palliate tho treachery,' igno rance, or corruption of Northern Democrats, who stand forth to defend this infamous doc trine j who ask us not only to violate the pledges of 1856, but the funda mental principles ■ upon which our Go vernment is fonnded,’ and which are tho vital essence of Democracy itself. For these men there is no excuse. While Southern men, who advocate a Congressional Blare code, however mistaken wo may consider them, cannot be viowed in a more obnoxious light than those loyal Englishmen who, in the great battle of the Revolution, sided with the home Government, from an instinctive lovo for their couritry, “ right or wrong,’' the Northern champions of a slave code ior tho Territories, and of tho enforcement of slavery into them against tho will'of their inhabitants, occupy a position identical witii that of the Tories of the Bevolntion, and, liko them, aro legitimate objects of scorn and contumely. Fairmount Park. . We have received from Mr. Arnmew P axles, civil engineer, a plan of Fairmount Park as now.being laid out by Messrs. Sidney & Adams, together with a design by himself for tho improvement of the proposed addition on the opposite “ west ” bank of tho Schuylkill. Tim design exhibits much tasto, and is no ticeable for that broadth and simplicity which 1b -the characteristic beauty of English park grounds. A criticism on the merit of tho design be longs, however, to; another class of journals ; the object only) comprehended in it, iB more particularly noticeable by such of our journals as are devoted to tbo gcporal interests and re quirements of the city. With Philadelphia the idea of Parks origimt-. ted in this country. The reservation of her five squares was a part of the ■ u. rx-ancorNcw York was anticipated hero by a quarter of a century by the purchase of'Lemon Hill. ’ . Sho-has,therefore, been the pioneer in this reservation of what Chatham called tho lungs of groat cities j and piilladejph ja, qp this ques tion of a park, is the most fortunate of Ameri can cities j for, while selecting one great river as the site of its chief city, our Quaker foundor unintentionally secured, the most bounteous’ supply of the purest drinking water, while Ma? turo at the Bame time clothed the banks of the stream with a beauty unrivalled for this Very purposo. . . Tho Central Park lias been, and will bo, bnt. one eternal struggle with obstinate soil—essays at combinations pf artificial rock-work, and long contest for effect over eight hundred acres of rugged, level ground. Gbrapare it with tho magnificent growth of forest trees in Fairmount Park, its bcautlffil green sward, whose undula ting surfaces, shaded nooks, and open vistas,’ which art can never improvo, which are above all art—a creation of beauty from tho hand of God—and no mind will question that this city must always in this respect retain a pre-emi- Bcnco if she secures her natural advantages, here. And these iiayc been thrust upon us. Fairmount Park was commenced) h?? in creased, and will bo completed, from the very necessity of affording tho supply and pre serving the purity of tfyo water we drink.. It was for our water supply the city secured Fairmount j for tho same purpose TVost Phlla dolphin seepred the acre and a half on tho west bank, and the district of Sprin? Garden her olovon acres, now forming the north ern boundary of the Park. It was for tho pro tection of. the water primarily that Lemon Hill was purchased; for the same purpose, also, tho proposed acquisition of the west bank will bo made, and Fairmount Park, which will then embrace jheso ceycral pieces of ground, be completed. JJut, along with this requirement Of the Schuylkill banks as a matter of necessity, has always gono an appreciation and recognition of their beauty; as early as the first settlement f)l the province, that samo liberal-minded, far seoing mnn, who laid out for ns on the then un broken foreßt our five present squares, saw this Fairmount, and thougirt to scepro ;ts beauties for his home. ’ Again, .the estate until lately known as Lemon Hill, and now ilgfijide/l jn the park, was selected by Robeet Moeihs, and became in his hands, as his conntry-seat, tho favorite resort of tho fathors of the Republic. So, also, tho seat of Mr. CnAHuONB, adjoin ing it on tho north, purchased jointly by citi zens and Councils in 1857, and incorporated with (lie park, was selected at tho same early period, for its remarkable natural attractions. On tho opposite, and within the proposed addition, is contained tho most beautiful piece Of woodland in the State; and tills spot, now known as “Soljli)(]o,” was tho residence of Jons Pess, and his house remains there to this day. Thus, from tho earliest times tlieso banks have been selected for their beauty; and year after year this water question, with which was growing up and attaining a rightful prominence the park question, has secured parcel after parcel of them, until now tho west bank only remains to be secured. Much is due to our present Mayor for his determinad oxortions, while In Councils, for tho completion of the oast bank, which was then secured. Our late Mayor, Mr. Vacx, also urged upon tho city tho importance oi this question in his first annual message. Tho lato superintendent, of the water works, his predecessor Mr. Geavf, and tho present su perintendent, have uniformly expressed their sense of the necessity for tho complete com mand of tho river margin abovo tho works; and we aro confident in saying it is a measure which will receive the earnest sanction of our citi zens. IVe believo we re-echo tho sontimonts of tho ontlro press of the city in urging on Councils tho completion of tho park by the addition of this west bank of the Schuylkill, Toe Haetvobd (Conn.)

As soon as he has ac complished the Septembor chapters ho leavos for tho conntiy to reouperate. Public Amusements. Walnut-street Theatre. —This evening, Mr* j J. B. Roberts will appear as Othello, . • •_ 7 Arch-street Tiie ATnß.—Mr. Booth’s Hamlet has not impressed so favorably ns bis Tago did. Hisvoloeis in bad condition, unfortunately, and ' Hamlet is a romarkably long character—the quan tity of speaking in it being great, with no rest, save in aot iv. Mr. was not good, because, when his utteranoe waß not whining, it was sepulchral. In soliloquy,nearly all through.be was too demonstrative iu action and voice. A man, byhupaelf, whose thoughts almost involuntarily ] gush (hto speech, would not oxpress them as loudly as. if he were speaking out iu conversation. Ho failed in making the audienco aware, in hia interview with Ophelia,, when he bids her go to a nunnory—using harsh words to dooeivo the King and Polonius, who were eavesdroppers—that he was aware of the espial sot upon him. This, we think, makes the sum of our objections, or rather of our opinion on Mr, Booth’s errors of oommission and omission. Per contra , wo have to state that Mr. Booth 1 played the part,'generally, in a satisfactory man ner. Hia soeuo with tho Ghost (very solemnly personated by Mr. Brodericks) was impressive and froe from exaggeration.. The well-known passage commencing u What a piece of work is man/’ wo never heard spoken with more appropriate' emphasis. Except that it was too loud and not quiot enough for such a con templative voxpresaion of sorious and philosophical thought, the “To be or not to be” soliloquy was well spoken—but be had no right to ask “who would these fardels bear,” bocauso the word these is on interpolation whioh baokß up . the continuity of the thought. , The direction to the players was givonj in a moderated tono,and in the most natural and unstrained mannor. In these quiet, conver sational speeohes, Mr. Booth excels. Tho play scene was tho crowning beauty of the play—finer, we think, than the scene with the Queen (though tho eager point “Is it tho King?" was powerfully given,) or that whore ho philosophises in tho grave-yard. Tho fenolng-soone, too, was dory good, and the'applause which had so warmly gr ® ted him during the performance enthusiastically culmina ted at the close. Mr. Booth,' we most recollect, has not been long on tho stage, and Is very young—one of the inevitable qualifications for such a part As Hamlet , by the way. He does not piny this cha racter ae well as Barry Sullivan did, chiefly because he has yet to learn and to make tho bye-play whioh, s&y what we may of suoh artifices, contributes, largely/to the perfeotion of acting. We must briefly dispose of the other porformers.. Mrs. Brow looked every inch a Queen, and played admirably —especially in the closet-scene with Hamlet in Aot 111. She evidently labored undor tho effects < of a severe cold* whioh made her voice,- when she sounded it fully, harsh' and grating. Miss Emma Taylor cannot play Ophelia: sho was careless, in the play-scene, when she told Hamlet that his ( fa ther Was two ibetls dead, instoad of two months. Mr. Bradley, as King, was more than usually ac ceptable. We should liko to see his mottle tried with a better cost of oharactera than ho usually is in. We f ‘hare scarcely left space to express an opinion of Mr. John Gilbert’s-most judicious and artistical representation of Polonius. As it is usually played, we see not a garrulous, yot wipe old courtier, which he is to bo taken as, but a senito buffoon. Shakspeare never meant this to be a low-comedy part, as we have seen it made too often. Ho who delivers the counsel' to 2\aertes, In Act I, commencing Give thy thoughta no tongue, Nor any unpTOportioned thought hin act. - Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar: ** The frlenda thou hast, and their adoption tried, and so on, never purposed that the sagacious spokesman shonld be a mere laughing-stock. The advice Itself is nearly word for word, the same as Sir Walter Raleigh actually gavo to his son, and Shakspearo only transmuted it into blank-verse. Mr. Gilbert’s Polonius Is one of the host we have over seon. This evening Mr. Booth will appear as Brutn s. Academy or Music.—Next Monday evening,- Mrs. Bowers will open this plaee of'amusement as a theatre, when a new fivo-aot play annonsoed as written by herself, and called “The Black Agate, or Old Foes with a New Face,” will be acted for the first time.

Tho poet tells ns that . “ Tmth, onished to earth, will rise again but it not unfrequently happens that a vory con siderable spaco of time is necessary to cj-.r.b10 her to rosuino her perpendicular position. In this instnnoo, however, tho manifestations, of publio sontiment in favor of popular sovereignty have, at an early day, ip dcfianco of tho bitter hostility of tho Administration, with all its mighty Influences and itß army of officials; been as tonishingly numerous and deoidod. State after State,’ and district after distriot, have already boldly and gallantly wheeled into tho popnlar-so vereignty line, and tho unanimity of their action reminds me of tho political complexion of the country during tho presidential canvass ef 1852, when all the States of the Union, exeept five, had Democratic Governors, and of tho result of tho Presidential eleotlon of that year, when General Pierce Was chosen President by an almost undo!- mons electoral ycte. The Dopiooracy of nearly every Northern in thejjr state Ppnyentiouj, have unanimoqsly adopted unequivocal pppqlsr: sovereignty resolutions. Maine, Vermont, New Jersey, Ohio, Illinois, lowa, Miohigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota aro fully committed to them, and I do not doubt that the other Northern States wilt Sppodjly ijnitate their oxamplo. In the rooont straggle among too Democracy of Kansas tho friends of 1 Judge Douglas aohlevad a complete triumph. Tho lato canvass in Kentucky, and the Tact that in that contest tho Democratic candidates were trjnpiphnnt, though tboy wore on a clear and dlstinot non-intorveptii;n platform, whilo the Op position nominees were avowed champions of a slave code, is a striking indication that In the J3outh, as wolt as in tho North, tho prin oiplo of popular sovereignty is gallantly making ,headway and confounding its adversaries The significant resolutions of the Democracy ef St- Lopis, and the general attitude of tho Demooraoy ol Missouri, afford another strong proof of tho samo fact. Indeed, in all tjie Southern States tho friends ef Judge Douglas are daily increasing In numbers ppd in strength, and I am repeatedly surprised by. hoaring froffl exeellont authority of influential 'Southern politicians, whom I had supposed were committed to ultra-SonUiern views, having the. good sense and judgment to’ oppose them, and to favor a moderate and conciliatory policy. By late news from Utah, I learn that, for tho first timo in the history of that Territory, a distinot po litical anti-Mormon organization has been formed, jts address and resolutions consist of tho most Kilter and severe upon Mormonism that I have evor read, tho finlnts boing accused of almost evory political and moral crime on the onloads;. If tjiese charges are well foundod, it seems impossible to be- Jieve that tho men who are guilty of them .can long be sustained) even by the inhabitants of Utah. Tho Gentile population pf that Territory having boon largely inoroased by tho protracted ppoamn ment of tho army within its borders, and the power of Brigham Young and hia.elders having beon con siderably dooreeaed by the events of tho last two years, it is not'unreasouabte to hop? that this mod ern' Amerioau polygamous theooracy will be broken Up at nodistant day, or, at all events, that In Utah, as In all other C9ram«nities, sufficient diversity of sentiment will oxist to secure for alt parties and opinions a fair hoaring, end to punish with a piarit. pd degree of sorority flagrant outrages of any do- Mriptios, whether thoy are committed by Mormohs or Gentiles.

Yesterday afternoon a Mr. Morrow, while digging there, oame- across the skeleton of a man about six.inches below.the surface, or at what was about four fdet below tho original level. Tho skeleton, although much de oayed, was nearly complete in all parts. There were no traces of a coffin or shroud, and the only article which coaid be fonnd, besides the bones, were three brass buttons of very rudo manufacture. One of them was large, and had evidently been a coat button; while the others were of smaller size, as though they had been vest or cuff buttons. Not a shred of clothing remained. The skeleton was evidently the remains of a large-sized man. Some - excitement was occasioned, and an old lady was consulted who is said to be ono hundred and two years of age, and who has lived alt her life in the neighborhood. The old dame says that the spot where tho bones were found was formerly a farm, and that when she was a girl there was a tradition afloat that a.horrible murder had been committed there, and a barn hard by used to bo oalled the “ haunted barn,’' and shunned accordingly. Strike among the Richmond COAL-wORK- Ens.—For tho last day or two there has been a Btrike among the men employed at the Richmond coal wharves in discharging loading and taking care of tho coal.

Tfcsro arc eighteen coal wharves at Richmond, and about fifteen hundred men are employed loading the “ black diamonds," when a fair .business is do ing. At present only about two or three hundrod men are employed at the following wharves : Nos. 13 and 15, Roadlng Railroad Company; No. 5, Taylor, Stone & Co.; No. 7, John R. White.
