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.

[Correspondence of The Press.) 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.

[Correspondence of The Fress.] 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.

Highly Interesting Letter* [Correipoodeoce of Tbe Prera.l Har-nej-’s Lake, Sept. 17,1859. My Dear Colonel : I am here, with gun and fishing tackle, enjoying the sportsof this delightful locality. The travelling public cannot be aware of tho inducements which this wild and beautiful spot furnishes; if ttiey did, tney would be here in countless numbers. Tbe Lake is kept by mine host,*’ Col. Clayton- It u large and com i modious, erected with a view of a summer resi dence and retreat. Col. Clayton having been tho roughly educated under the eye of Sim ” LeU&d, of the Metropolitan, understands his avocation. He isan expert. Ltland would not keep A pupil about him till he graduated, unless be was a promi sing man. Clayton graduated under Leland, and is master of his business! Whether hi 3 degree is engrossed on parchment or not I have not znada tbe inquiry, nor is it necessary. His tahle speaks for itself, and does not require a diplomatic en dorsement. This is my second excursion here during the sea son. The first I exchanged for my usual visit to Cape May, and am fully satisfied with the ex change. It is a charming spot, indeed. The lake, a beautiful sheet of pure water, supplied wholly by springs, is nestled in a capacious basin, formed on tbo summit of a mountain, a thousand feet abora the waters of the Susquehanna, and is filled with choice fish. It is some twelve or fourteen miles in circumference, and its greatest depth is over two 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 h„ in his savory dishes, mad. epof.hjs collection from lake and forest.
