THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1859,
Judge Black’s Reply to Judge Douglas.
[For Tlio Fross.)
No ono who has seon the masterly argument of
JudfiO Dougins in favor of the Demooratio doctrine
which allows “ tho hona fide inhabitants of any
organized Territory to regulate and control their
domestic Institutions in their own way,” could
doubt for fl moment that the Administration
(jealous of his growing influence) would do what
could be dono to crush him.
This has accordingly been tried in various ways.
“ Tray, Blanoho, and Sweetheart,” all have yelped
themselves hoarse in tho effort, but without success;
am) now, to end tho matter, Judge Black, thelegal
adviser of tho President, he whoso masterly argu
ment tho other way in 1856 is still frosh in our
memories, has entered the arena, nnd has done his
very best to prove that we, who fought and won
tho battlo of 1858, were all either knaves or fools.
Tho Judge is alogioian. Admit his premises and
you can hardly deny his conclusions. He has read
the olassios, too, and is familiar with the wits and
poets of the reign of Qoeea Bejsj" and like them
wields a quaint and rather graceful pen. He fs
witty, also, as ovory one knows. The opinions de
livered by him whilo on our Supreme benoh are
master-pieces of humor. He is one of those who it
is well known seldom undertake to lay down the
law without-raising a laugh.
In obedience to ordors ho has gone to work on
the doctrine of popular sovereignty with a will, and
has mado a very readable reply.
But in looking at bis propositions it occurred to
me that tho true way to test their wisdom would
be to reduce them to praotlce. This is a praotioal
age. If a political theory will not “work,” it
must bo unsound.
TYe know that tho Democatic doctrino works
excellently well in practice. It has been tried in
three or four now Territories' with success, some of
whioh aro free and some slave.. How is it with the
Administration theory ? The Judge affirms that
“the Constitution of the United States is impartial
—that it does not destroy property anywhere—that
it neither carries slavery into a Territory, nor pro
hibits it there—that it neither frees the slavo nor en
slaves the freeman—but requires both to romain in
statu quo until tho status impressed on them by
tho law of thoir previous domicil is changed by
competent local authority, and until this is done a
a Virginia slaveholder (and others, I supposo, also)
rotains all the rights of a master.” But bo adds
that this “ competent local authority ” only exists
in States, or in Territories about to form State con
stitutions.
Now lot us teat this practically:
Hero is a now Territory openod and organized*
in tho usual way. Thoro aro as yet no laws in it,
for nono have boon enacted. Of course there is no
slave code thore, by whioh I mean laws to protect
slave property, and to punish those who violate
tho rights of the master. Tho Constitution does
not do this. It is silent. Of ceursc, then, Con
gress can pass no slave code > for the powers of
Congross aro limited by the terms of the Con
stitution. Tho Territorial Logislaturo may not
feel disposed to puss a slave code, and cannot well
be forced to do it; and, besides this, the Judge in
sists that this is a subjoot on which they havo no
power to logislato at all, nor can Congress grant
them such power.
Now, Into this now Territory let us supposo that
a party shall havo emigrated from the East-n
colony of rampant Abolitionists, with nil their bit
ter feelings agalust slavery and slaveholders. Let
us suppose, also, that slaveholders from each one of
the present slavo States shall also havo moved into
it with their slaves, retaining and bringing with
them (as Judge Black says they may do) ‘« a!1 their
rights as masters.”
Suppose, now, oortain of these Abolitionists, igno
rant or regardless of theso “ rights,” should under
take to “ teach one man’s slaves to read,” or oirca*
late among others ‘’incendiary publications/’ or
“ entico others away from thoir masters,” or inter
fere to prevent wmo master from giving hia slave
the usual number of or do any one or more
of the many things which in slave States consti
tute oriuic or misdemeanor, how would you arrest,
how would try andconviot and punish (be offender >
By tho common law ? That does not recognise
the “institution” at nil, muoh less defino and
punish offonces against it. By the Territorial
laws? There aro none, and pcrchanco never will
be any on this snbjoct. By the Constitution of tho
United States? That (»»ays Judge Black) does
not carry slavery in tho Territories by any means,
and says nothing of orluio and punishment. By
the laws of Congress’ Thero aro none, and ncrer
can bo any on this subject. Congress has no
such power, says the Judge. By what laws, then,
shall theso offenders bo punished ?
Tho only laws remaining are those of tho
States from which these slaveholders havo emi
grated. And is this tho conclusion to which wo
arc driven!! Will it bo contended tbatcaoh of
tho inhabitant! of a new Territory carries with
him his State and its laws also 1 That tho Territo
rial officers shall bo compelled to recognise and
adopt, and obey and enforce tho laws of ten or
twenty or thirty States, far, far beyond their Ter
ritorial jurisdiction—Jaws which tho pcopio in
tho Torritory have had no hand in passing, and
which many of them never heard of. Shall thero
be as many codes in each of tho Territories ns
there aro States in tho Union, or shall one of them
predominate, and, if so, which of them ?
It is well known that no two of tho glare Staton
have precisely tho sarao slave code—no two that
agree what shall constitute “ crimo ” against “ tho
Institution” or in the punishment to be inflicted
for tho wuneofienco against it.
For abducting a negro, in some States they
“ hang,” in others “brand,” in others “fine and
imprison ” tho criminal.
Now, supposo an Abolitionist should run away
with several negroes at once, slaves which came
from States differing thus in thomodoof punishing
slave stealers. Will tho judge first “ hang 4 ’ and
thon “ brand,” and then “ fine and imprison ”
tho slave stoalor, or will ho roverso tho punish
ment f
I lcavo tho settlement of thoao difficullios to
wiser men than I am, but thoy exist beyond a doubt,
and aro tho natural result of this Administration
theory.
Why, the main position of Judgo Black that “ at
though the Constitution does not carry slavery
into a new Territory , it nevertheless pietcrves
the right of property there,'* is either an absurd
contradiction of terras, or a mo«t impracticable
piece of sophistry.
What is property worth where thcro is no law to
protect it, and whore Is the protecting law to come
from under this theory l Is not this tho veriest
farce, when compared with tho Democratic rulo
whioh allows the people of a slavo-holdicg Terri
tory, liko those of New Moxico, to frame a code to
protect thoir property, and tho peoplo of a non*
slave-holding Territory to omit it because they ro
quiro none.
By tho Admiwst/atioti rulo tho people of these
Territories aro nil wrong in what thoy are doing—
aro rebels against tho United States Government.
By tho Demoeiatic rulo thoy nro all right; nor Is
thoro any power on earth that has the right to
oompel them to not in any other way. W.

New Yobc, Sept. 20,1859.
The Hon. Albert H. Tracy,‘of Buffalo, who died
in that city yesterday, wae one of the oldest c4ti*
ions of Western New York, and in several respects
a very distinguished rS&ri',lle uos onlytpenty
four years old when first elected lo Cougie&s,,fn
1817, his district embracing all that part of West
ern New York west of Seneca Lake, now com
prising eight Congressional districts. He was the
close personal friend, during his eight years ser
vice, of HeDry Clay, Daniel Webster,-Mr. Bucha
nan, Mr. Calhocn, Samnel L. Southard, and most
of thoso who were “giants in those days.” On
the 9th of February, J 825, he was elected Presi
dent of the House of Representatives, and ho was
offered by Mr. Adams a seat In his Cabinet, wWih
he declined. He was also proposed as a candidate
for the United States Senate In 1825, and, In 1826,
Governor Clinton nominated him judge of the Su
preme Court for the Eighth circuit, both of which
he declined. His subsequent career iu our
State was very brilliant. As a conversationist he
was remarkable. Emerson has pronounced him
the best talker he ever listened to, which 13 praise
enough. His early investments in real estate at
Buffalo were profitable, and he became, many
years since, quite wealthy—one of the wealthiest
men in the western part of the State. For several
years past his only occupation had been to look after
his property, and, occasionally, to preside at public
meetings. He was a decided Democrat, and was
counselled by the leading men of the party in
Erie county. HU old personal relations with Mr.
Buchanan gave him not a little influence in many
of the appointments mode on the incoming of the
present AdmiuUtration.
A document of a curiously deprecatory charac
ter, signed and sworn to by iegareon de Benicia t
John C. Keenan, graces the columns of the evening
journals, stating that he did not journey to Syra
cuse as a fighting man to attend and “demon
strate” at the Democratic State Convention, but as
a private citizen, to enjoy the pleasure of attending,
for the first time, an assemblage of that Character;
furthermore, that ho was the guest of Marshal
Ryndors during the excursion, who offered him
fifty dollars to take part in the admission of per
sons to the room where the State Committee met,
which he declined; that he was opposed to Fer
nando Wood, and that within throe weeka past he
had been offered and had declined a place under
tho present c> ty government. All of which is odd
euougb, under the circumstances, and suggests tho
inquiry, who did furnish tho fighting men from
New York with tickets of admission to the Con
vention ! Mr. Wood asseverates that it was not
done by himself nor his friends, and the other side
“ give no sign,” although they made not a littlo
capital and sympathy by charging it upon the Mo
zart Hall people. Such is life!
It is pretty well understood that the Know No
things will not nominate a soparateticket tobesup'
ported in the State this fall. The chief engineers
of the party are understood to be opposed to a
courso that is likely to betray their weakness. The
delegation from this city, headed by Daniel Ull
mann, tho “ Grand Ignoramus ” of tho order, are
In favor of making a selection from the tickets of
both parties. A largo majority of the Know No
things of New York, outside the city, undoubtedly
sympathise more with the Republican than with
the Democratic party, and although the latter is
now cordially united on the State ticket, there is
no strong indication, as yet, that the Republicans
aro to bo routed. Their ticket is a strong one—
thero ia no grumbling in the ranks—the party is
under good discipline, and confident of success.
Yet, notwithstanding they have the inside track,
they may be defeated.
Last spring I sent vou a table of statistics rela

It will be seen that the month of May was the

CIUMBEH.SBI RG, Sept. 19, 1*69
As the day of the election draws near, considers*
bio speculation is rife as to the result. So ftir as the
State ticket is conccrnod, Franklin county will pole
about the usual party vote. The Opposition may,
perhaps, bo able to reach a majority ranging from
fivo to six hundred votes, Mr. Robert Tyler's
ultra-Southern address, put forth by the committee
of which ho is the responsible head, acts like a
perfect millstone upon the Democratic party, and
causes many sterling, old-line Democrats to become
dispirited and indifferent as to success. I regret
sincerely (and this feeling is shared by many of
tho best men of the party here) that such an jncu
bus was ever put upon our prospects.
Considerable interest is manifested in reference
to tho Senatorial election. The district, composed
of Franklin, Fulton, and Adams, returns on© mem
ber to tho State Senate this fall. Bofore the nomi
nation of the Democratic Senatorial conferees was
made, a general expectation prevailed that Judge
Xilt, of Franklin, would be selejted as the nomi
nee. Undoubtedly he was tho preference of nine
tenths of tho party in the district. His course in
the lower house of the Legislature was bighminded,
and always intlucoced by the best interests of the
State. Few representatives have ever cainc-d so
flattoring an approval at tho hands of their con
stituents of all parties. Unfortunately for the
party, judge Kill declined the nomination, and the
honor was conferred on J. Wyeth Douglas, a mem
ber of the Chnmbersburg bar. You may judgehow
distasteful this selection has been to the body of the
1 party hero, bv a refercnco to tho gentleman's nnte
j cedents In 1818 and 1832,hcwnsaviolentanti-Bn
chnnan man, ami di*| hisbest to carry the voteof tbis
county in tho Stato Convention against the nomi
nation of Mr. Buchanan No sooner wero the old,
tried friends of Mr. Buchanan forced to give
up their friendship for that distinguished states
man on account of the violation of his repeated
pledges, thnn Mr. Dougina, of Franklin, like a host
of othor parasites at the footstool of power, was
en®er to offer his devotlou to Mr. Bochanau.
Tor this early enmity and late devotion, the Demo
cratic Convention, doubtless at the suggestion of the
Washington managers, tendered the Senatorial
nomination to Mr. J. W. Douglas Mr D. was a
delegate to the last March Democratic Convention,
and thorn made himrolf particularly conspicuous
in fieh'ine ielontles3ly tho resolution of commen
dation of the State policy of Governor Paeker.
This portion of bis political course has been very
severely censured here by the best men of our
party, and the reason is simple enough. The State
policy of Governor Packcr-which was all that Mr.
Lamberton's resolution in the State Convention
touched upon—has made friends everywhere, be
cause it successfully carried through the sale of the
State work*. Hero tho peoploTCapdircctly the bene- j
6t of this eminently wise financial measure. They j
nover had any dire it benefit from the State inr- I
provements, but. on the contrnry, had always to pay j
their portion of taxation necessary to carry them I
on. Already the State tax has been reduced one!
half mill on the dollar, and, last winter, a farther ;
reduction of tho samo amount would have been
made had it not beon for the anti-Packer majority
in the Stato Senate, tho House having passed
the bill for that purpose. Sir. Douglas, by his
active sympathy with those who have so persist
ently opposed Governor Packet, has done much to
damage his political prospects, and must certainly,
in tho present Senatorial canvass, fall far behind
the usual pnrty vote. Colonel A. K. McClure, his
talonted opponent, was one of tho champions of the
sale of tho canals in the Legislature, and has also
tho advantage of a wide-spread sympathy arising
from tho coarso and unjustifiable personal attacks
modo upon him. Vituperation and malicious per
sonalities always fail of their purpose, and doubt
less tho result of the election will prove the im
policy of those opponents of Colonel McClure's
who have sought to injuro him by such weapons.
Improvement seems to bo tho order of the day
in our town. At lea3t fifty now buildings have
been put up within tho last six months, and the
demand for houses still goes on. The making of
the new railroad to Hagerstown has given a deci
ded spur to tho business prospects of the place.
Real estato has risen considerably. A fine property

hundred feet The banks are surrounded by a
primoval forest, mostly evergreen; hemlocks,
pines, and mountain birch stand densely together,
and dose up to the very edge of the water, thus
forming aroond the whole lake a living, green, and
growing perpendicular wall if an average height of
more than a hundred feet. Its density the eye
cannot penetrate, and. at a little distance, it pre
sents the appearance of a solid, disconnected masa;
but bow charmingly beautiful to behold!
The axe of the sturdy pioneer has here and there
cleared his way through imposing obstacle* to the
lake shore, and a few dwellings, scattered about,
add somewhat to the scenery. It now improves the
picture; but a few more inroads o! the kind will
mar anddestroy as fair a prospect as the human eya
ever rested upon.
Before the invasion of the woodsman’s axe, there
was but one thing wanting t o complete the picture:
a baronial castle, frowning down upon the water,
with fts towers and minarets, its moat and porteal-
Its, its tenants and masters. With this. Sir Walter,
in bis best days, might have envied it. as tki spot
most congenial to the great spirits of poetry and ro
mance that ruled his capacious intellect.
Seated in my arm chair, on the piazza fronting
the shore, in the tlask of evening, with my H*ba- k
ns. I can almost call up, in mid reality. Ellen
Douglas, in her light canoe, and Fitijames,
in his suit of Lincoln green; and if I cannot
bear the graceful dip of her paddle, or the echo of
his horn, I can indulge in the thought that the
eyes of neither ever rested upon Highland
scenery with more ineffable raptnre than I on thtc
before me. Save only where the traces of the
woodman’s axe have left their desolating marks
(and they are now but few) the native unpruned
forest stands forth in all its grandeur. As God
created it, so it is now. The mighty monarebs,
standing side by side, as if in defensive attitude,
demand onr admiration. Insensible alike to the
whirlwind and the storm; yielding to none of their
enemies but man. The whirrof the startled phea
sant, made at intervals, as its repose is inTaded by
your advancing steps, alone disturbs the solitude;
cut it lathe solitude in which you delight to linger.
It has no terrors—it is Nature's solitude, and one
which you may adore. To contemplate when the
rich and gorgeous borders that now surround this
sheet of water, shall be cleared away to make room
for a scanty and half-subsisting living to a dozen
pioneers, is to contemplate the destruction of one
of nature’s sublimest pictures—and one that cen
turies, with all the culture and care of man. cannot
replace. But I am switching off from the main,
track of prosy narrative. Let us get baok again,
or the objects and designs of this letter will not
have been accomplished.
The lake is but twelve miles from Wilkwbarre.
The road Is very passable; and after getting out
of the cars on the Lackawanna and Bloomsburg
road, at Kingston depot, in two hours yon are at
tbo Lake House. If those persons seeking plea
sant summer resorts, who cannot get accommoda
tions at the Delaware Water Gap, and hundreds of
other places of summer Tetreats, would but wend
their way to this delightful spot, they would mf®t
with such agreeable surprise as would astonish
them. Once here, there is no further armment
for an annual return. I have spent weeks and
months at the fashionable watering-places ox tha
country, and have no hesitation in pronouncing
this the most agreeable of any of them. Ido not
mean to say, that if the display of the rnt»iEer,
and tailors’ shops is the object to be obtained, that
it is to be found here. But if too desire to ere
grand and imposing mountain scenery; if you
wi«h to breathe pure and invigorating air ; if yon
wish a quiet retreat, in the hot and sultry summer,
with a dozen good companions; if you wish to see
Nature as she is, and not as she is made by man’s
device*—seek it in the mountains, under the birch
and hazel shades, and on the unrippled water*, oi
this enchanting lake. It will ritriily and abun
dantly repay the visit. Try it. But the FJJg*
that iidrens noise, calls me from this to «other
table. Reminds me of what “3ly Lord tiajtqn
