ritories were placed before tliey became organized territories The whole coqnlry embraced within those territories wan under the operation of that same system of luws, and the offences committed wilbin the same were fit the manner' now .proposed, so,long as the country remained "under the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the United States,'' bat the moment the country was organized inl'i territorial governments, with legislative, executive and judicial departments, it ceased to be under the solo and jurisdiction of the United Slates within the meaning of the act of Congress, for the reason thai it hud pass ed under another and a different jurisdiction. Hence, -if we abolish the territorial govern mont-of Utah, preserving all existing rights, itml place the country under the sole and ex clusive jurisdiction of the United Stales, of fenders can be apprehended and brought in to the adjacent States or territories lor punish ment, in the same manner and under the same rules and regulations "which obtained and have been uniformly practiced, under like circumstances, since 1790. If the plan proposed; shall be found an ef fective and adequate remedy fur the evils complained of in Utah, no one, no matter what his political creed or purtizan associa tions, need be apprehensive that it will vio late any cherished theory or constitutional right ip regard to the government of the Territories. It is a great mistake to suppose that ail the territory or laud belonging to the United Stales most necessarily bn governed by the sumo laws nml under the same clause of the Constitution, without reference to the purpose to which it is dedicated or the use whiub it is proposed to make of it, while all that portion of country which is or shall he sot apart 18 become new States, must neces sarily be governed under and cnuscdenl with > that clause ol (he Constitution, which author- i i/es Congress to admit new Stales, it does | not follow that other le'ritory, not intended | lobe organizod and inhumed into the I nion i us Stales, must be governed under the same clause ol the Constitution, with all the rights | of sell-government and Suite equality. Fori instance, if we should purchase Vancouver's j Island front (ireat Ifriiuin, lor the purpose of! removing all the Indians front our I'ueitie j territories and locating tlnini on that Inland J us their permanent homo, with guaranties tliut it should never bo settled or occupied by ) white men, will it be contended that die pur- j chase should be made and the Island gov- j erncit umlor the power to mini it now States 1 when it was not acquired lor that purpose j nor intended In be applied to that object ? , lining acquired lor Indian purposes and ap- j plied to Indian purposes, is n not more tea- i sonatile to assume Ihut die power to acquire } was derived from the Indian clause, ntui the j island must necessarily bo governed under j and consistent with that clause of (he con stitution which relates to Indian ufluirs.— t Again, suppose we should deem it expefli- j cut to buy # shall island in the Mediterraue- I on or in the Uatribean sea, by a naval sta- > tion, can it bo said with any lorce or pi.nisi- ( bility that-the pmehsse should bo made or the island governed under the power to ad- . mil new States? On the contrary, is it not I obvious that the light to acquire and govern , in that case is itemed lioin the power "to provide and maintain navy," and must he j exercised consistent with that power. So it 1 xva purchase land for lorts. arsenals, or other military purposes, or set opart and dedicate j any territory which we now O'.vn for a mili tary reservation, it immediately passes under the military power, nml must be governed in { harmony with it. So if land be purchased for e Mint, it must bo governed under the power to coin money: or, if purohed lor a Tost ißlico, it must l>e governed under the j power to establish post ctliees and post marts, | or, for a custom house, under the eower to | regulatv com me ice: or, for a court bouse,: under the judiciary power. In short, tire clause of the Constitution under which ntiv land or territory belonging to the United States, must be governed, is indicated by tire object for \vlbeh it was acquired and the purpose to which it is dedicated. So long, therefore, as the organic act of Utah shall ra main in force, setting apart that country tor n new S'ate, and pledging the lanh of the United Stales to receive it into the Union so soon as it should have the requisite popula tion, we are bound to extend to n ail the rrglus of self-government, agreeably to the clause of the Constitution, providing for lire i admission of new S.ares Hence die tieces sny of repealing the organic aci, withdraw ing tl-e pledge of admission, and placing rr, under the sole and exclusive nrisdict'on of the United States, in order that persons and property may be protected, and jus ice a' mtisiered. and crimes punished, under the lawe prescribed by Cornier*, in such cases.

(.ousllUlliolial A mend incuts. The most important voto which tho citizens of litis Slate have to give al the coming elec- \ tion is upon tho constitutional amendments j \vliich are now submitted for Iheir adoption, , All past history has shown that popular gov- ' ernments require some landmarks or guards ' to protect the people from the efhets of tern- I pornry fanaticism or clamor, and from tho assaults of profligacy, extravnganee and cor- j ruption. The Kiirlisli Barons wrested the I great charter of rights from no imbecile and worthless king at Kiinnymedo, ar.d it has on many occasions served as a safeguard and ' protection to the weak peasant against corrupt and insolent rulers. Time and j changing circumstances have modified it; as j should every wise people adept their rousti- J union to the necessities of the ego. Tho frail- ) lies of humanity take now shapes of evil, I while the growth of human energies and the progress of human civilization turn into new I channels and forms. Nothing illustrates this better than the neo.es- ' sity lor the present first proposed amendment ol the Constitution of Pennsylvania. Profli gacy and corruption look a new shape when the idea of municipal subscription was sinn ed. The State had impoverished her people and driven many fioin her soil by heavy lux es. because she became a stockholder in every corporation, and from many Ot them never realized a dollar, 1 lie last attempt of this kind in her history, we hope, was the onset last winter to plunder her linasury of $3,000,000 for the Suubury and Kite Rail road. But when the slste could no longer be plucked and plundered, the same operators in desperate speculations assailed county and borough treasuries. In Lawrence and other western counties the people have repudiated this debt. Allegheny is now in a condition bordering on repudiation, lu Union that gal lant spirit Charles H. Shriner fought the spec ulators f(om the beginning, and though the corporation obtained bonds honi the Com missioners it was compelled by the vtorm of public indignation to deliver them up, and tlrey were publicly burned. In this ronnty the plot dated not be openly avowed to the ears of hotre-t yeomen, but this evil would hive followed with others if Know-Nothing leeklessness had gained the sway in its des perate contest of ISM In Berks the coon tv could not be seduced, but the city ct Resiling was led to take stock in the l.eba noli Valley Raiboad which has since been taken off its hands bv the Readme Railroad. The Northern tier of comt ies, (where peo ple run after every new ism.) subscribed tor more stock than the whole counties would have brought at filter,tl sale. Whatever excuse there nvgbt have been i in the early history of the fiia e for aiding public improvement:* of fiixie interest f-om its public trcairy; there vat be none now. when i. is sa d titat wealth is growing so fast that a dozen new batiks n-ay be char tered in a year.

Hut the City and country are bound together by too many ties of interest and feeling to jus tify any jealousy or fears of hostility. Be sides the interests of the country nro as va rious as those of the City, and it could not unite on any point of hostility. The city will still have so largo a representation that it can command any matter of evident jus tice and propriety, and more it ought not to ask. | The fourth amendment is embraced in the charter of most corporations, and ought to be u constitutional jiruvi.siou. Tho history of the United States Bank, the Franklin I Canal Company in this Slate, tho Camden I & Amboy Railroad Company in N. Jersey, j and tho Pennsylvania Railroad Company ! give admonition that some such jirovision ■ alone can save the State when a corporation I grows too insolent and powerful. For the republican guards and guides tho people of this State are indebted to no man more than to C. R. Buckalew for their per fection and passage, lie labored for them in the session of 1855 and 1856 with such zeal, and discussed them with such clear ness and force that their passage last winter was comparatively easy, and their adojition by the people is now rendered certain. Mule of tlie Main I,lnc. The decision ol the Supremo Court againm ! the constitutionality of this iniquitous provis- i ion >n the net of last session for the perma nent exemption of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company Irom taxation, is received with al most universal favor throughout the Siute. It is now established ns constitutional law j that the legislature cannot authorize aeon- j tract with a corporation for the release of its I properly Irom a lair shore of the public bur dens, and consequently the l'unn'n R. Rend has been obliged lu make its bid for tho main line of (lie Public works subject to existing taxes and to such other tuxes us the legtslu. lore may hereafter impose. Wo hope to bu I able to publish the opinion ol Ihe court in i our next number. It is one of great power | and of inestimable value for the protection I of popular rights, lu its immediate eflect it will save a large sum of money to the State treasury: in fact over two hundred thousand dollars a year upon existing rates of taxation. This is a direct present result of the stand j which luis been tnuda against the profligate legislation ot lst session by the Canal Com missioners and the Democratic parly. t f The Main Line of tho Publio Works 1 consists of the Colombia rail rood between I Philadelphia and Columbia in Lancaster; county : the lines of Canal between Colnm- ' biu and Pittsburg, and Iho Allegheny Portage j rail road which connects tho Juniata and < Western divisions. The very Stupid false- I hood that the Main Line docs not yield rev- j onuc over expenses is sufficiently refuted by I die recent bid tor its purchase made by the j Pennsylvania rail road company, and by the statement of Col. Molt from official reprints, published in the last number ol our paper.— We observe that some sapient editors nro in ' happy ignorance that the Columbia rail read is n part of tho Main Line, and nro amusing themselves with calculations which exclude it. "Where ignorance is bliss Wis' lolly to be wise." The statement in tho bill in equity filed by Col. Most that the lints of canal west of Co lumbia bad not been productive, was an error ol reniisel in drawing tho bill and was cor rected in court, snd also tolly corrected and explained in the above mentioned sta'euient ot Col. Moit already published by us. Tho extraordinary expenditures upon tho Port.ige road should have been included, where a new road (and a very valuable cue) has been constructed to avoid ihe inclined planes.

The French nation ia engaged litis week in holding the second election for legislative representatives since the re-ea'ablishmdnt of the err pi re. The freedom of eleotion means a different thing in France from what is ira plied in that phrase in the United States.— You may vole with the utmost freedom, says Napoleon, "hut the government will indicate who are the persons who have its confidence, | and fee in to it to merit that of the people, I and as the government proposes the laws to the deputies, it will propose candidates to the electors, and these will theri make their choice." What would be thought of the free dom of election here, if President Buchanan were, at the r.ekt congressional election, to issue his edict to the people, saying, "iellow citizens, you are at liberty to vote as you please tor representatives, but Mr. Smith and Mr. Jones being friends of the administration, you will please confine your choico to one or the other!" It is just this contemptible political farce which is now being enacted in France, and the people seem to regard it in that light. The only persons who appear to be taking any interest in the election ure the officials who have the whole machinery of it in their control, and they are anxiously and j actively exerting themselves to biiug out a large vote, for in France, iu limes of reptes- ' sive government, not to approve ia to con. demit. A small vote uow would be signifi cant of a feeling of contempt for or aversion tb the imperial government. This is a dan ger which may readily be provided against where the government has everything in its own hands. It is just as easy to return six millions of votes as of two, an expedient i which the Emperor has the credit, at least, of having resorted to on the first election, and which has since been practiced elsewhere, particularly in San Francisco, under the ugly name of ballot-box slolfing. It ia not difficult to predict the result. Tito two hundred and i sixty-one representatives elected on Sunday i and Monday last, will nominally be chosen i by electors, but the) might as well have been designated by the name of the Emperor with out an eleotion, for under the circumstances, they can be nothing but his ereatures and ready to do his bidding.— Mgtr.
