TERRITORIAL SOVEREIGNTY.
The doctrine of Popular Sovereignty, as
enunciated in the Cincinnati Platform, means
the- power of the people of the Territories to
control their own affairs, and mould theii own
institutions, "in their own way," subject only
to the Constitution of the United States. This
point is undisputed. There can be no question,
about it. But there seyms to be some difft r
ence of opinion between leading Democrats as
te whether the Constitution prohibits the people
of the Territories from deciding the question
whether, or not, negro slavery shall exist
within the Territory. It is not disputed by
either side that the people of the Territory have
lbs right to determine this question for them
selves when they come to form their constitu
tion, preparatory to their admission into the
Union as a State. Neither is it contended by
either party that slaves cannot lawfully bi
taken into the Territories and hehi there a:
property. The 'difference, howevpr, consist:
in this, that Senator Douglas and those who cm
incide with him, maintain that though The
slave-holder may take his slaves into the
Territories, he can hold them there only at the
wrtl of the Territorial Legislature, which by
indirect, unfriendly enactments, cr by positive
prohibition, can exclude slavery from the
Territory ; whilst, on the other hand, Presi
dent BUCHANAN and, we may safely say, the
great mass of the Democrats, hold that the
Territories, being the common property of all
the States, purchased equally by ihe blood and
treasure of the South and of the North, are open
alike to emigrants from all the States, o have
the right to take with them into the Territories,
and own and enjoy there, whatevecis recogni
zed as property in any of the States; and that
the question of slavery can be decided only
when the people form their constitution with
the view to ask admission into the Union.—
Flence, it will be perceived, that the only practi
cal difference between the disagreeing parties,
is a* to the lime when the people of the Territo
ries have the power to decide the slavery ques
tion. Senator JDouglas takes the position that
the people of the Territories, through their
representatives in the Legislature, can at any
tine abolish slavery. President Buchanan
declares that this can only be done when the
people of the Territories come to form their
State Government, in as much as the Supreme
Court of the United States has decided that
negro slavery exists in the Territories so long
as they remain such, by virtue of the Constitu
tion. We'bave thus particularly and careful
ly stated the difference between Douglas and
the President, not that we intend to argue the
point at issue, but because it may be made a
bone of contention before the coming State
Convention, and because we desire our readers
clearly and fully to understand it. The whole
slavery question i 3 an abstraction, and cannol
be made of any practical benefit to the country
though it may do infinite damage, and whilst
we agree entirely with the views of the Presi
dent on the subject of Territorial Sovereignty
and shall look <o the State Convention for £
hearty endorsement ol the National Acministra
lion, we believe, at the same time, that! then
need be no controversy in that body on the
present disagreement between Senator Douglai
and President Buchanan. Our opinion is thai
the Convention should dispose of the subject o
slavery in the Territories, by simply aying thai
they are the common domain iff all the States
.and that whatever is property by law in an\
of the States, may be taken, held and enjoyet
there by the owner, and if any of the rights
of property shall, according to the judg
went of the proper tribunal , be in any way
infracted, or annulled, it is the duly of th*
General Government to see that such lights be
restored and protected. This would make BR
whole subject of slavery in the Territories a
question for the Court*, and would take it alto
gether out of the arena of politics. Under our
constriction of the decision in Ihe Dred Scotl
case, it would not be necessary to bring this
subject again before the Judiciary. We believe
that that decision is conclusive in favor of Mr.
Buchanan, and that under it slave-holders are
guarantied the right touhold (heir property in
the Territories until a State Constitution pro
hibits them from so doing. But there are those
who differ from us, alleging that the question
cf Territorial Sovereignty was not before the
Court in Ihe Dred Scott case. For this cause
and for the further reason that we believe it
will thoroughly harmonize the party, we say
1-t the settlement of this question be left to the
Court".

Printer to the Senate.
The election of General Bowman as Senate
Pr'nter, is a matter of sincere gratification to
his old friends and neighbors in Bedford. ihe
persistent and violent opposition which he had
to encounter, makes his triumph doubly glori
ous. His election is a thorough vindication
from'the slander and obloquy which were heap
ed upon him. The highest legislative body
known to our government, has honorably
acquitted him of the charges preferred against j
him, and with such a verdict, the General may
well disregard the puny attacks of those *vho,
through malice or envy, are-impelled to assail
him. We tender him our hearty congratula
tions.
Local and Miscellaneous.
—We are happy to inform our citizens that
our artist friend, MR. VALLADE, has agreed to
remain a short time longer with MR. GETTYS,
for the purpose of painting Photographs in bis
new and elegant style so much admired and
praised by all who see his pictures. In order
to give all an opportunity ot procuring one of
his fine paintings, he offers them at *25 per cent
less than heretofore. Persons desirous of secu
ring correct likenesses, painted in the roost oeau
tilul style, will please call at Gettys' Photo
graphic Gallery, soon. Mr. G. has also re
ceived a lot of lases which # he offers at his
usual low prices.
—At the recent term of the Court of Quar
ter Sessions of FXilton County, the Grand Jury
ignored the bill of indictment preferred against
James B. Sansom, Esq., for forgery. It seems
Ifthttt some of the Black Republican leaders of
Fulton county, insane with rage at their defeat
j last fall, attempted to revenge themselves by
j prosecuting Capt. Sansom! for forgery, which
| they alleged he had committed in printing cer
| tain handbills which were scattered over the
| county immediately preceding the late election.
! The result of their efforts, was the ignor
ing of the bill by the Grand Jury and the privi
lege giver, them by the Court to pay the costs
|of prosecution— MOßAL: Politicians should J
never try to mend their fortunes by going to j
law.
—Thieving, in a small way,seems to have be
come a regular trade among some persons in
this neighborhood. A few nights ago the
dwelling of Rev. Mt. Sample, was entered and
a considerable quantity of flour, a number of 1
jars of pickles, &c., taken thePefrom. We
learn also that some flour was taken from the
hotel of Mr. Steckman. It is said that "no
thing's so hard but search will find it out," and
we think a little watchfulness would soon de
tect the perpetrators of these petty thefts.-
They ought to have a free pass to Allegheny.
—Abraham R. Craine, a worthy citizen of
Bedford township, died on Friday morning last.
Mr. Craine, we believe, was, at one time,
Steward of the Bedford County Poor House.
—The Democratic Convention of Hunting
don county, has chosen Jacob Cresswell dele
gate to the State Convention, with instructions
to support Rreckinridge delegates to Charles
ton. Hon. W. P. Schell, of this county, was
selected as Senatorial delegate.
—The Opposition pretend to be great friends
ol specific duties, yet, when Democrats are
willing to do all they can to have a tariff of
such duties adopted by Congress, when, in fact,
a Democratic President is the great leader in
the struggle for such a tariff, these Opposition
friends of specific duties, denounce them as
insincere and trv to break their influence by
i every means in their power. In proof ol thi.s
j we refer our readers to the recent action ot t he
| Opposition Legislature of this State, in so fra
> ming their Tariff resolutions that no Democrat
jfcould have voted for them without stigmatising
j the President and dishonoring his party.
—We bear that it is rumored that Governor
i Packer intends to veto the Resolutions recently
adopted by the Opposition members of the
; Legislature, which sustain the supporters of
| SHERMAN, the endorser of the Helper book.—
i We nope for the credit of Pennsylvania, this
} rumor is founded in fact. Should Governor
j lacker reluse to sign those Resolutions, he will
! make Iriends of hundreds, aye of thousands,
j who have been politically estranged from biro.
( Pennsylvania does not recommend any such
i doctrines as those .contained in the infamous
publication of which SHERMAN IS the endorser,
i Pennsylvania does not counsel the slaughter of
i slave-holders, nor do her people believe that
a man cannot be a patriot without being an
Abolitionist.
—Mo Speaker yet.
DEATH OF ANDREW SL'OTT, ESQ.
The well-known editor, critic and publisher,
Andrew Scott, Eq., of Philadelphia, died at
his residence in that city, on Friday morning
last. It is with profound regret that we make
this announcement. Mr. Scott was one of our
: earliest friends, and we recall with sincere
gratitude his words of encouragement when, in
our boyish'days, we became a contributor for hra
paprr. May he rest in peace ! The following
notice of his life, appeared in a recent number
of the Evening Argus :
This morning at two o'clock, Andrew Scott,
one ol the best practical printers and energet
ic publishers, breathed his last at his residence
in Ninth street, below Locust. Mr. Scott's
lile was an eventful one, and of the many
journalists in this city, we can remember none
who was more adapted to the position that he
for years so creditably filled.
In early life he entered as an apprentice, the
office of Chas. Alexander, at the age of nine
teen he was foreman, and upon attaining his
majority became a partner in the Daily Chroni
cle, Alexander's Weekly Messenger, and the
Job department of the estaolishment. He was
not only a bold and vigorous writer and able
''maker up" of news for a weekly sheet,
but was a correct and able theatrical critic.—
He was adequate to any emergency, whether
physical, mental, or moral, and when Andy
Scott (as he was familiarly t ailed), either spoke
or wrote, nis words were heard. His dramat
ic articles were candid and to the point, and he
never allowed either personal friendship or
animosity to interfere with his ideas of correct
ness.
In 1844, when Burton had Mr. Hilton arres
ted on a false charge, Mr. Scott wrote a bitter,
[ but, at the Same time, a truthful article, and
the consequence was Burton sued, Scott was
1 convicted, seat to prison, ad immediately
pardoned.
In 184-fi, he s-.verpd his connection with Mr.
Alexander, and IS4-6 commenced the publica
tion of "Scott's Weekly Paper," one of the
best hehdomedals ever issued in the country.—
He secured the services of the best literary
people of the day : George Lippard, Howard
Meek, E. C. VV. Greene, Mrs. Joseph
C. Neat, R. Pi. Levering and others, himself
included in his corps of contributors.
In 1851, he issued a programme for a
mammoth sbeet, but the proprietors of the
Saturday Cc urier, J\ r eaPs Gazette., and Saturday
Post combi.oed against him, and sent placards
through the country that acted detrimentally
to his prosp ?cs. He sued the conspirators and
got judgment, and for years afterwards kept
i "Scott's Weekly Paper" in a flourishing condi
-1 tion.
| Since t hat period JVeaPs Gazette, died out,
i JilcJilakin's Courier went to the dogs, and the
I Post is a fossil. In 1854- Mr. Scott, through
\ mistaken kindness, assisted a wealthy publisher
: in this city, and, finally became involved.—
' The publication of the Weekly was suspended,
'■ althoug! i the job printing office, Xo. Hi Hud
son's alley, did a lucrative business. Ia the
1 month iif September. 18.it, Mr. Scott in associa
-1 li.m wi';h E. W. C. Greene, and the late Vi. G,
! Foster, started the Sunday Review. T'ie pa
' per was short-lived, and since that tir.ie Mr.
i Scott has been out of business, his,heart broken.
| and hi i ambition crushed by those w'no should
I have been (instead of enemies) warm and
; devoted friends.
i As i man Mr. Scott wis sociable and philan
| thropic ; as a printer none could excel him
as a publisher, was energetic : a> a master, kind :
and a-r a citizen, generous. To his apprentice
boys be was a guardian more than a master,
and he who wrote this paragraph can attest to
the interest he took in our welfare. L"t u
hope '''that after life's fitful lever he sleeps
Well."

SOHOOL DISTURBANCES AT SANDWICH —Tut
BEAUTIES OF PRACTICAL ABOLITIONISM. —The
negro disturbances which were ailuded to ii;
our issue of. yesterday, were not overrated in
importance., as is confirmed by subsequent advi
ces, while the extent of the agitation was mucl:
gnlater than was at the time surmised. Line
ga rd to the -fiendish transaction enacted at An
dei don, ha it of the truth was not told. Officer!
ari still in. pursuit of the rescued crimnals, and
great indignation prevails throughout the whole
v icinity, so that, if they are caugiit and deliv
ered into the hands of the populace, they will
be severely dealt with.
At Chatham, forty miles from this city, s
crowd composed of several hundred negroes
took possession of the public school houses ear
.iy on Monday morning, and, when th? whitt
teachers and arrived, refused lo allow
them to enter or in any manner obtain posses
. sic aof them. As there seemed to be a dispo
| su ion to carry matters with a high band, the au
| thorities were calltd in, but, from the fact ths
1 negroes inhabiting the town far outnumber tbe
[ white citizens, there were no means available
except those of conciliation. The Africans
| were headed by cne TSliudd, a negro who has
made himself prominent in that vicinity fbt
some time, having been concerned in the for
cible rescue case which occurred there twe
years ago. The Mayor and Councilinen assem
bled on the spot, acco ;rypanied by a majority ol
[ the citizens. The wfiole town was in an up
■ roar in consequence t>f tjie warlike demonstra
| tions of the negroes, and the crowd and excite
| merit were consequently very great. The ne
| groes demanded not enly that the schools nbouic
I pe thrown open to them, but that they shoulc
be allowed lo participate in their management
vyhichjon account of their numbers, is equiva
lent to giving them the control. The confer
ence continued some 1 iours, the authoiities main
taining a conciliate.ry and peaceful course, ant
the negroes asserting ';heir claims with arroganci
and violent demonstrations. They were final
ly quieted by the assurance that their claim:
should be taken into consideration, and such ar
rangements made as coul.l with propriety b<
brought about. This means nothing, of course
as the demands ot the negroes must be compiler
with or resisted. In case they are compliec
with,the towr i, and as a consequence the sur
tounding cou'atry, will be under their rule, ant
if they are n< rt, a conflict may be expected be
tween the white and black races, in which th<
former will have great difficulty in maintain
ing their ground, as they are in the minority
There are 3 bout twenty-two hundred negrue
in Chatham alone.
At Sandwich, three miles below this city
there was a disturbance ol the sani<
I cause. The whites, in the schoo
tax, assessed themselves onluHpaving the negr
population out, in order thin they might no
control the cause of education by their votes a
the ballot-box. 'J*)e negroes were highly in
censed at this, and went in a body to the poll
on the occasion of the election of school officer-;
determined to vote. They were resisted am
driven away, and much ill-feeling and enmitr
engendered.
It wilt be seen by all of these indication
that the negro population of our neighborly
province is becoming organized and bold in it
o; position to the legitimate institutions of tin
country, and overbearing and insolent toward
its rightful citizens. IVe may safely say tiia
the hatred with which lhey are regarded in re
turn is not less violent or open than their owi
demonstiaiions. There are very few white
living on the borders, where this fugitive rac<
most congregate, so fanatic as to close their eye:
to the tact that their immigration is fast tend
ing towards the demoralization of the country
As citizens they are worthless to the last degree
while crime prevails among them lo an alar
ming extent, and swells the criminal calendar:
of the country with the most revolting offences
Canada has nursed a viper in its bosom, whicf
is now preparing to turn upon it. The horde:
of blacks which have for years poured into it:
bordercodnties are beginning lo feel their pow
er, and, it we mistake not, will give infinite
trouble pefore they are again crushed down t<
their proper level.
Republic*u Folly.
We see by the proceeding' ol the Legislature
that several days have been spent in discussing
resolutions censuring the Democrats for not or
ganising the House ol Representatives at Wash
ington! Of ail absurd actions Oi Legislatures that
we ever heard this caps the climax. These
gentlemen were elected to attend to the busi
ness ol the State, not ofthe .Nation—to legis
late for the Slate, not to act as an advisory bo
dy to Congress. Rut, admitting the subject to
have been properly before them, why should
the Democrats be accused of preventing the or
ganization of the House at Washington ? There
are not more than 90 of them in that body,
while there are 111 Republicans, besides about
30 Know Nothings and others elected in oppo
sition to the Democracy. If the Democrats had
a majority in the body, they might he -justly
censured it they failed to organize, but they are
in a minority and their enemies have the ma
jority. Any sensible man will see, then, who
is to blame.
The resolutions were resisted with energy by
the Democracy in both Houses. Senator WELSH,
of York, exposed the untruths they contained,
as well as their falacy and absurdity, in a speech
of great power. It was a closelv logical, con
clusive aod brilliant argument from beginning
to end, but he might as well have wasted his
rhetoric on the bare walls of the capiiol, so far
as the votes of the Opposition Senators were
concerned. Fanaticism and Abolition disun
ionism in Congress required bolstering, and the
Pennsylvania Legislature was called upon to
moke tho sacrifice. The virulence with which
.\lr. WELSH'S, speech is attacked in the Harris
hurg t'elegrapk shows that while it did not
! ffive 'Jhe Republican Senators from their fol
ly, it®fell like a thunderbolt am >ngst them.
JVot one of them attempted a reply, and the
Telegraph labors to make up this deficiency by
its usual resort to billingsgate. We know of
no surer evidence of merit than the abuse of a
common blackguard, and in this phase the Tel
egraph j s a prolific aod perfect witness. — Clin

GENERAL J?EWS. .
"A WILD*CAT RANK." —Two years ago a
wild-cat bank failed at Gosport, Ind., leaving
the amount of about $500,000 i:i
the hands of the public, towards the redemption
of which nothing has smce been done.—Refer
ring to this fact, the Cincinnati Gazelle says:
The proprietors ol that concern have, we are
informed, concluded to try their han f again at
the business, selecting as a location this time,
however, the District of Columbia, instead ol
Indiana. Arrangements have been made, we
understand, for a large issue Irom Washington
city, and an officer of the "institution" was in
this city last week, making terms with parties
to give it a "circulation." He is rather "seedy"
lor a banker, but his countenance denotes that
sharpness which is characteristic ol successful
wini-cat speculators. Look out, then, for Dis
trict of Columbia "money."
A WICKED LITTLE WOMAN WITH GREEN
SPECS.—One Rev. Mr. A. S. Finch publishes a
card, in which he says that while attending the
Brockport camp meeting, a woman, small in
statuie, wearing specs, and prepossesing in ap
pearance, appeared, pursued him in a carriage,
told him of her esteem and how much she was
worth, and induced him to marry her. He
consented, the knot was tied, and she having
accomplished his ruin, forsook him, probably to
find another victim. Mr. Finch says she ser
ved two men in the same way before; one in
Canada and the other in Wisconsin; the latter
is in a destitute condition. He gi VPS warning
}si" sen* may not inflict similar outrages again.
BOGUS HUMANITY ILLUSTRATED. Where is
J/rs. Child ?—A frightful number of poor wo
men—young trirls the most of them—are still
lying half dead and in most excruciating ago
nies in the City Hall, at Lawrence, Mass.
These poor women need kind nursing and gen
tle words to smooth their passage to the tomb.
Where, oh ! where is Mrs. Lydia Maria Child!
Can only murderers, horse hieves, and traitors
stir her sympathies? Why is she not at the bed
side of these ill-fated sufferers? Is it becau-e
they are of her own sex? or because it is their
misfortune to be white instead of black ? —.V.

MUTINY IN A HOUSE OF REFUGE.—A mutiny
j occurred in the house of refuge at Cincinnati
last Friday, during which H. M. -Jones the su
; perintendent, was stabbed in three places by a
youth named M'Donald. One of the wounds,
inflicted with a knife, is in the left side of the
lace, jut below the jaw-bone, passing down in
,to the throat, and in ttie transit nearly severing
the jugular vein. Mr. Jones is lying in a dan
gerous condition.
AN ALARMING ACCIDENT. —The other day
in Eldred township, Jefferson county, Pa., a
large pine tree, which was being cut down, tell
across a school house hard by, it tu
atoms. There were forty children the
time, yet singular to say, only one was fatally
injured.
is stated in some of the daily papers
that a gang of organized in Adams
county, in this whose object it is to take
the life of the Constable who captured Cook
and returnc-d him to Harper's Ferry. If such
exists, the officers of that county should ferret
them out without delay, and when secured the
law should show them no mercy.
Allentown Democrat says there
"will be six eclipses this year—two ofthe sun,
two of the moon, and two of the Republican
or Opposition party. The two latter will oc
cur in October and November—one of which
will be visible in Pennsylvania, and the othei
all over the Onion."

considerably swelled by r&ah exposure to the
damp atmosphere, which received into the lunas
poisons the very fount of the blood and indu
ces bronchitis, pleurisy asthma and consumption,
all of which may be speedily prevented by a
timely recourse to Holloway's famous Pills and

in the 57th year ot his age.
i\tr. Craine had been for rr.atvy years previ
ous to his death a resident of Bedford county.
He was regarded as a most estimable man, by
those who were long and intimately ac
; quainied with him. Kind and courteous in his
intercourse with others, and in all the relations
oi life of it reproachable character, his sudden de
case is widely felt and sincerely mourned. He
was a member of the Presbyterian church in
Bedford. His last days were characterized by
great neac of rnind and cheerful resignation to
the will of Hod. He sepmed to have a clear
apprehension of the plan of salvation, an l urv
shaken confidence in the love and faithfulness
of Christ. He repeatedly said to the writer:
S"I cling to Jesus. He is my only hope. He
; will not leave me nor forsake me."
! And now, his sufferings ended, we trust fee

I raw one dewy morning ;
(Each one a iitrle gem)
Four liny, lovely blo^orm,
Hang on the parent stem.
I looked again at even,
And iny heart grew sad and sore ;
One little bud had wither'd.
The worm was at its core.
I saw one summer evening,
As the sun sank in the west,
Four chirping little birdlings,
Within the parent nest.
1 looked again at morning
For the storm had burst e'erhead,
And of'those tender nestlings
One little bird was dead.
1 raw four children cluster
Around the parent hearth ;
Joyous and bright and happy,
So full of infant mirth.
1 looked again to see them
The glad borne fire beside ;
But one bright face was missing.
One cherub boy had died.
Ah, me! I cried in sorrow,
It is ever thus with earth.
Pleasure to-day—to-morrow
Bereavement, mourning, dearth.
Oyr flowers are ever Jading, .
Our bright things all decay.
Scarce do we ciaspour treasures, 2
Ere they are torn away.
But list ! a voice is saying,
"This place is not your rest
To he here ever staying
Would make us quite unble^t.
Whose flowers here all are blooming,
Hath none in Paiad'se :
Who has no gems in glory,
Will scares to glory rise.
Then, 'reft one, lift above yon.
Your "heart with anguish riven j"
Your little bird's an angel ;
Your blossom blooms in heaven.
