SATURDAY MORNING SENATOR DOUGLAS' REPLY TilE WEEKLY Posr of nest week will con tain Judge Douglas' reply to Attorney Gen eral Black's observations upon his essay on Popular Sovereignty, published in Harper's Magazine, complete. It is one of the most able political papers we have ever read. Persons at a distance, who may wish for cop ies will please send in their orders by mail at once. We will furnish them at the rate of $3. per, hundred. It is a document which should be widely circulated among the peo ple. THE RESPONSIBILITY. In view of the evidence which is present ed on every hand, it is perfectly useles;,(6r the Republican party to disavow; as,the Ga zette has done, the responsibility ,fff such out breaks as that which has o ! coarred at Har- Per's Ferry. The logicaresult of the doc trines avowed by Se rd, and other leaders Of the Republic party, has been carried outrin this a mpt at a servile insurrection. It is idle ow for the Republican editors to repudiate the e*pressed sentiments of the very men who formed the party. They can not repudiate their great champions. Such Men as Giddings and Lovejoy were leading members of the Convention, which 'met in this city on February 2d, 1856, to organize the Republican paky. They were then ad mitted' into full fellowship, and their party must now be 'responsible for their doctrines and theresultstowhich they lead. If Repub licaniStn and Abolitionism are so co-min gled that neither the men nor the doctrines can be - separated, all who belong to either party must be responsible for the joint prop erty. Republicanism seems to be the seed and Abolitionism the fruit. The Republi cans pro Tess that their designs are only to prevent the spread of slavery in territory now free; while the genuine, true-blue Abo litionists seek to abolish it in the States.— The short career of the Republican party has already demonstrated the impossibility of confining anti-slavery doctrines within certain prescribed limits. t mesystem of po liticarethica-for the States and another for the:territories, will not work. The barrier is but an imaginary one, which fanaticism o'erleaps in spite of any effort to prescribe its sphere of action. In practice, the anti slaveryism of the Republican party cannot be confined to the territories. Men will purstie an idea to its natural and legitimate results. Curtis, the well known Republican lecturer, has said : " The Republicans are only another wing of the anti-slavery ar my, differing from Abolitionists, not in principle but only in method." The prac tidal results of these doctrines—the irre presSibleconflict doctrines of Mr. Seward— are obvious. Is the country ready to adopt and sustain such doctrines ? Has the time come -when the irrepressible conflict is to commence' If it does commence now or hereafter, the Republican party and it alone must answer to the world for the direful consequences. THE NEWS. The details of the work of thu next census Nyi 11 not be commenced before June, 18C,O. It i-arinouneed that the appointment of As.sistant Marshals to take the eenf,us, will not. : be made before next spring. Twenty-four of the forty-two organized counties of Kansas give a majority for the Con atittition of 3,753 rotes. The total vote of the Territory will not exceed 10,000. A stirring letter from Mazzini to the King of Sardinia has been circulating through Italy, w,hersi it has created a great sensation. A translation of its most important passages has hem furnished us by our Italian correspond eht;.. After alluding to the fact that his coun try had sacrificed 50,000 men in the, late war, and that ten times that number would be forth coining if necessary, Afezzini alleges that the intriguers who surrounded the King never do sired the unity or Italy. He claims that the Franeo'.Sardinian alliance was unnecessary, reproaches the King with having accepted the peace of Villa Franca, and invites him to dare to ally himself with the people, and give them full scope in their ed. - iris to attain liberty and independence. The Pennsylvania railroad is now doing a very. heavy freight htudnesi, and for thu last few weeks has been greater than ever hereto eiperieneed. Several extra trains have been put_ in requisition, and there are still many ears along the line, waiting for their turn to be hauled to their destination. Daniel Lock, a plasterer of London, who earned, 30s. a week, before the strike, recently committed suicide by taking laudanum. In ltisfleaseSsion was found a piece of paper, upon which was written: "What Cato did and Addi sion approved of must be right. The strike— the ruinous strike. God protect my unfortu nate family." The New Orleans Della says its faith is pinned to the Popular Sovereignty doctrine, &AA ean . sec neither peace for the country nor properity'for.the territories, by a resort to any other mode of determining in favor of, or in opposition to, the establishment of slavery in the teriitories.

JUDGE DOUGLAS OCT. 29 REPLY To JUDGE BLACK 38 SLA.T.ERY A "FRDERAL OR LOCAL LEITITT/ Since the Attorney G, denial filet the territorie selves upon the subject 18 no alternative left to him that Congress possesses sow that question - in the territ 7 the Republicans in thei I,and by Mr. Buchan n hislettito Mr. Sanford. Surely the p rto legislate upon that and all other rightrdl subjects of legislation exists some where..../Ftvery, "right ; of property, private releafin, condition or status, lawfully exist "• in this country, -must of necessity be u rightful subject of legislation by some legisla tive body. Where does this sovereign power of legislation . for the territories reside? It must be in one of two places—either in Con gress or in the territories. It can be nowhere else, and must exist somewhere. The Aboli tionists insist that Congress possesses sovereign power over the territories for their govern ment, and, therefore r the North having the ma jority, should prohibit slavery. The Democrats contend that Congress has no rightful authority to legislate upon this or any other subject affect ing the internal polity of the people, and that • the legiSlative power of the terrritories extends to all rightful subjects of legislation, consistent with the Constitution." All powers which are federal ,in their nature are delegated to Congress. Those which are municipal and demestic in their character are "reserved to the States respectively, or to the people,"—"to the States," in respect to all of their inhabi tants, and "to the . people " of the territories prior to their admission as States. To which class of powers does the question of slaverry belong? Is it a federal or municipal institu tion If federal,it appertains to the federal gov ernment, and must be subject to the legislation of Congress. If municipal, it belongs to the several States and territories, and must be sub ject to their local legislation. The Constitu tion of the United States has settled this ques tion.. A. slave is defined in that instrument to be " a person held to service or labor in one State, tinder the lams thereof ;" not under the laws of the United States ; not " by virtue of the Constitution of the United States ;" not by force of any - federal authority but "in one Slate, under the laws thereof." So the fugi tive slave law of 1793, which was unxlilled and continued in force by Congress in 1860 as one of the compromise measures of that year. recognizes slavery as existing in the territories wider the laws thereof, as follows ^ That when a person held to labor iu any of the I 'to ted States, or m eithcr of the Territories on the North. West, or South of Ho. es", Oldo, mars Tar Lawn rammer, shah escape Into any other of stud Staten or Territories. The Supreme Court of the United States have decided that "the state of slavery is deemed to be a mere municipal regulation, founded upon, and limited to the range of the territorial laws." (is; Peters, Cll.) Being "a mere municipal regulation," the right to legislate in regard toil would seem to belong to that legislative body which is authorized to legislate upon all rightful subjects of munici pal legislation. Can Congress take cognszance of a •• mere municipal regulation " in a terri tory, which; in the language of the Supreme Court, 4. is founded upon and, limited to the range of territorial laws The Republicans, their Bhiladelphia platform, say yes! The Democrats, in their Cincinnati platform. say no! What says Judge Black' Where, Mr. Attorney General, does this sovereign power to legislate upon the " municipal regulation of slavery reside ? Is it in Congress or in the 'territories? If in Congress. has it not been derogated to the territory in the organic act under the general grant of "legislative pow er over "all rightful subjects of legislation consistent with the Constitution " If in the territory, has it not been recognized by Con gress in the same act' Whichever be the source of the power, the conclusion is irresist able that the territories possmis the full power, subject, of course, to the Constitution, as in all other cases. It, however, slavery exists in the territories, by virtue of the Constitution of the United States, as is contended, it is the imperitive duty of Congress to provide for it adequate probisction. I can respect the posi. tion of those who. so belies ing. demand feder al legislation for the protection of a constitu tional right; but what are we to think of those who, while conceding the right,refuse to comply with a constitutional obligation from motives of political expoliene3 There can be no exception to the rule that a right guar anteed by the Constitution must be protected by law whenever legislation may be essential to its enjoyment. THAN FEDERAL TERRITORIES .! Not content with having stripped the Terri tories of all power to enact lave for the pro tection of lite, liberty, and property, and for the regulation a their internal polity, all of which appertain to sovereignty, the Attorney General dwarfs the territorial governments below the size of ordinary city corporations. Ho says Indeed, there is, probably, no city in the United States, whose p ower , are not larger than those of a federal Territory What are the powers of an ordinary city cor poration ? To levy taxes for municipal pur• loses—to provide for the collection or the sevenue—to sell private property for the 1 , 01: - payment of taxes—to execute the title, and transfer the possession to the purchaser, in case of forced sales—to impose tines rind penal ties, and inflict punishments for the violation of corporation ordinances. These are some of the powers usually exercised by city erwpora tiom. Are not these powers all attributes .if sovereignty " Surely he will not deny that ' they are, since the whole burden of his argu ment is, that nothing short of sovereign pow er can deprive a men of his property. How do these sovereign powers become vested in the city corporations? Probably his answer would be that the several States, within whose juris diction these cities are situated, as political sovereignties have the undoubted right to dele gate a portion of their sovereign power to these municipal corporations. The answer Is satis factory thus far; but it must be remembered that some of these cities are situated in the Territories, beyond the jurisdiction of any sov ereign State, arid that their municipal govern ments exist solely by virtue of territorial au thority. Where do the city corporations in the. Territories get. the sovereign power to lay out and open streets through private property —to condemn the land and divest - the owner or his title without his consent and against his protest Where do they got the power to im pose taxes upon. the adjoining - lands to pay the cost of grading and -paving the streets, and to sell the lands, and transfer the title and-pea session to the purchaser for the non-payment of taxes These things are being done con stantly -in Leavenworth, Omaha, Santa Fe, and indeed, in all the territorial cities. Where do they - pt the power .! for surely it pertains to sovereignty. From the. Territorial. gov ernments I We are told that they " have no attributes of sovereignty about them." It is not satisfactory to-tell us that these City gov ernmenta have " larger powers than those of the. Federal 'Territories," by whose authority they were created and hold their existence, un less -we are informed from what source they derive Ow ;"larger 'powers." Does. the creature possess larger powers than the creator Does the, stream - rise higher that Its. source?

Do THE CITIZENS or. 7gE 8 1'41ms .FORFEIT THEIR INHERENT RION? OF BELF-GovEsii- MEET BY RESIOYINCI,,T2iTO THE TERRITORIES OF TELE UNITED STATES Who are the people of the,Terrltorjos that they "have no attributes of sovereignty About them ?" They are emigrants, inostlr'frots - the several States of the Union. _lt is COnceded that the people of each State possessthe rent right of self-government in re.spect to all of their internal affairs. The questiOn then arises, if citizens of Virginia possess-this in herent• right while 'they remain in that State, whether they"forfeit it by removing to a terri tory of the United 'States ? They certainly do not forfeii it, unless there is something in. the - Corstitutlon of the United States-whicb;,diveits them of it. Is there anything in the Consti- tution which deprives the ens of the sev eral States of their haler right self-gov ernment the momen ey remo to a Terri tory ? The onl provision rlvhich has any bearing u " this snlject'is thalOth "amendment, ich providet that alEpowiors not gran to Congress noniProlflbiW to the States e "reserved to the Stateixespectivelii) er..16 the people." Inasmuch ati - Ahe.ijett, to govern the people of the Territoriesi"-In rela thin to their internal polity; tanot delegated to Congress, it is necessarily follows that it is " reserved to the people " until they become a State, and from that period to the new State, in the same manner as to the - pther-.4"States re spectively." This right -of Lself-overnuient, being a political right, cannot be exercised by the people until they are formed and ors ganized into' a' politic' community. By the .Constitution it is the right and duty of Congress to organize the people of the Ter ritories into political communities, and conse quently, the people of the Territories:can not ex ercise the; right of self government until Con , gross shall have determined that they have people enough to constitute a political commu nity—that they., are capable of self-govern ment—and may, safely be intrusted with legis lative power over all rightful subjects of legis lation consistent with the constitution. When Congress Shall have determined all these ques tions in the at3lrmative, by organizing the people of a territory into a political commit nity, with a legislature .of their own election, the inherent right of self-government attaches to the people of the Territory in pursuance of the organic act, and " extends to all rightful subjects of legislation consistent with the Con stitution." If this conclusion be not cor rect, it necessarily follows that people of the States forfeit all their inherent power of self government the moment they cross the State line and enter a Territory of the United States. By what authority are these inherent rights divested ? There can be no other power or paramount authority than the Con stitution of the United States. Does that instrument forfeit or divest the right of the people to exercise the inherent power of self government anywhere, except in the District of Columbia and such other places as areexpress ly provided for in the Constitution .! On the contrary, it expressly recognizes and reserves the right not only " to the States respectively but to the people." Where then, is the author ity ler saying that the people of the several States forfeit and become divested of all- their political rights and inherent powers of self government the moment they cross aState line and enter a Territory of the United States" It certainly cannot be found in the Constitui tion. TIIE ,lEFVF.ILSONIAN III.AN:OF fIOVERNMENT FOR THE TErtlerroiti Despairing, however, of being able to make .he Attorney General comprehend the distine ;en between independent sovereign States, which have the power to make their own con stitutions and establish their own governments and dependent colonies or territories, which have the right to govern themselves in respect to their internal polity, inconformity - to the organic law by which they were established, I will proceed to notice his contradiction of my positive statement that the Jeffersonian plan of government fur the Territories was adopted by the Congress of the Confederation on the :23t.1 day of April, 1784. He has truly a summary mode of disposing of Important historical facts when they stand in the way of of his line of argument, which is peculiar to himself. Are the people of the United States prepared to believe that their learned Attorney General would be so rechless as to deny a well known historical fact which appears of ret'srd, without even referring to the journal for the day on which I had stated the event to have taken place' However this may be, the truth remain: as stated in Harper, that the Jeffers sonian plan was adopted by Congress on the'l '23d day of April; 1784, the assertion of Judge Black to the contrary notwithstanding. By reference to the fourth volume of the printed journals of the Congre.ss of the Confederation, on page three hundred and seventy-eight, will bo found the following entry : - Fen t ress : . emnied the c.otooderAtiol, the ',port ,II aOM (CI a temporal.y gr. ertiment I of the Western Tertitot) motion was made by Mr. Gerry, -eNdwoal t/ j D 4 Willisni•co. to amend the report IT In•erting after tte word. • fait not of voting, the 101101 Villa -That measure,' not metal:mend with the principle" of the confederation. and netoersary far the preservation of peace and Food order among the aettlem in any of the sold new States until they shall itemme atbrnporarr government a- aforesaid, mays morn nme w blue, ho taLen by the United Slate- li, Conerels The precise language of this amendment should be carefully nnted. It confers, and at the same time defines and limits, Me witty sower which it was deemed wise and safe at that day to permit Congress to exercise over the Territo. rice or New States" as they were then called to wit: Ist, that they should only exercise such powers as were "necessary for the i;re,er, tion of peace and good order among the sets tiers ' and '2d, that even those powers should only be exercised by Congress over the settlers until they shall assume a temporary govern. ment as aforesaid." So it appears that from the day that the Ter ritory was organized under a temporary got - ernment; with a legislature elected by the resi dent inhabitants, the powes• pf rongress, even -for the preservation of peace and good order among the settlers," ceased ; and, the people thereof were left perfectly free to form and regulate their domestic institutions in their own way, subject only to "the principles of the confederation." which conferred on Congress no power the domestic concerns and internal polity of the pe-op'e2, neither in the , States nor in the Territories Now let us see whether it be true, as assort ed by Judge Black, that this Jeffersonian plan "wets rejected Ito and never arterwards referred to by fir. Jefferson himself." On the next page, three hundred and seventy nine, of the saute volume of the journal, wti be found the following entry: time amendment of Mr. Gerry repott f.mentled wm agreed to to. fall o w„ ioornal eoulataa the entire Jettersoman plan, it, subdonee of Khkh aaa enitua s mil fu iniwarttete Gt If. pro Oh the next pegs; aser; at the' eaaitt the Serf,. nem plan. will be found the following "fir) "Oh the quash:oh to agree to the foregoing, the yea and nays being requtre4 by Dir.

In regard to his declaration "Thist.

If neither the people nor the territorial legislature • possess any sovereign power, how can they impart sovreignty to a constitutional convention of their own crea • lion? Suppose, then, the people of a Territory shall "wait until they get a constitutional con vention or the machinery of a State government Into their hands," without the consent of Con gress, as they did at Topeka, and again at Le compton, in Kansas, what power will they have to "confiscate private property," or to decide tie slavery question, or to perform any other act of sovereignty, when we aro told that the Territories "have no attribute of sover eignty about them?" I can understand how the territo:ial legislatures can exercise legisla tive power over all rightful subjects of legis lation in pursuance of the net of Congress and the Constitution; but I confess my inability to comprehend how they can call "a constitution al convention" without the consent of Con gress, and subvert the organic law established by. Congress, and exercise all the sovreign pow ers pertaining to a sovereign State, before the Territories become States, and when "they have no attribute of sovereignty about them''" I)OES SLAVERY EXIST IN TITE TERRITORTEs BT RTIEYE OF THF,IONSITTUTION? Judge Black says that "The ,Constitution certainly does not establish slavery in the Ter ritories, nor anywhere else." It must be ad mitted that my article in Harper's Magazine has had the happy effect of drawing from the Attorney General a declaration as unexpected as it is gratifying to the great body of the de mocracy, which, if approved and concurred in by "nineteen-twentieths" of the party, as he asserts, will tend in a great measure to restore harmony to its counsels and unity to its action. It is to be presumed that he has not used this language in any equivocal or technical sense, I amounting to a mere quibble or play upon words; but, that he wishes to be understood as declaring that slavery does not derive its legal existence or validity from the Constitution of the united States, but that the owners of slaves possess the same rights, and no more, under the Constitution, in the several Territories as in each of the States of the Union; and that those rights are not affected by rirtae of any thing in the Constitution, except the provision for the rendition of fugitive slaves, which is the same in the :States and Territories. With this understanding I do not feel dis posed to quarrel with .ledge Black for his gra tuitous asacrtion that "nobody ever said or thought: . that the Constitution established sla very "in the Territories, or anywhere else," nor with Mr. Buchanan for his statement in his I. , N.!ompton message to Congress that— It tuts betul xotemuly adiu.1,2,1 by Ihr li,ghe.t Judi trihnnal Luuwn to out lAA - . that Hlartry vii , :tm in i - irtu, of thin (:,,nstitution rnit,,lStato9 Fianna i., flii , rProte C t the moment rullet, a shave -taco se (i..orgut of S.outn f!arolJuu... 1 ant also willing to accept in the Ran:spirit of barMony the authoritative cx p1ait.A . . , :„,4 which the Attorney General has farnish2:4' , ri . his !IP : pendis, that the Presid , nt only merit to sac that slavery only exbds in the Territories by rirtee of the Constitution in the same Ecru., that ° Christianity," Mormonism.

Instead of interposing my individual opinion in opposition to that so boldly expressed by the learned Attorney General, j will quote the lan guage of an eminent American jurist, whose authority is everywhere acknowledged. Upon this precise point Judge story, In his Conflict of Laws, p. 169, says : "hot Ice know Malmo such general effect hal in proctwe ev er teen attributed to the ,tate of tlrery. There is a unifor mity of opinion among foreigujunsts and foreign tritium ids m giving-no effect to the state of slavery of a party, whatever it may have been in the country of his birth or in which ho had been previously domiciled, unless it 1. dies Ytcotpthett to the hors of the country Ef:M.; cieNot into and here lie is found, and it is sought to bO en forced." .Aye Aye . u. No . No ) After citing various articles, Judge Story proceeds: "In Scotland the like doctrine has been solemnly adjudged. The tribunals of France have adopted the same rule, even in re, lation to slaves coming from and belonging to their own colonies. This is also the undispu. ted law of England." It is unnecessary to burden these , pages with the long list of au. thorities cited by Judge Story to prove his 4.9.9artiop that "there is a uniformity among foreign jurists and foreign tribunals" that the law is prelsely the reverse of what Judge Black states it to be in respect to slavery. But if he attempts to escape the force of this uni. forin current of foreign authorities I will test his respectfor the Supreme Court of the Uni. oil States by eitingthe case of Prigg vs. The Commonwealth of IPennsylvania, [l6 Peters, p. 611,] in which the court says : • 13y the laws of nations, no nation is bound to recog maa the state of slavery, an to foreign slaves found with in its territorial dominions, when it is in opposition to its policy and institutions, in favor of the subjects of other nations where slaveryls recognized. If it doe..,it len matter of comity, and not a matter of international right. Pesti& of 81amy iR deemed to hen mere rnunienp. at regzdation. , founaed :Ton and Umited to the range of ter ritorta/ lame The same doctrine has been held not only by the . highest judicial tribunals in most of all the Northern States, but by . the Supreme Court of Zoueitinal Ifisslssippi„ 4entucky, "Alissouri, North Carolina,'and, indeed, nearly, if not all of the Southern. States. But I am willing to rest the whole' ciao upon the . authorlty of the Sitpreme Court of the United States, and to ex hortlthe Attorney General, in his own classical language, only substituting his name for mine, to cease'" fighting the jddicißry," and treat - the eOnrtsf with ~ decent respect. " " We are called neon to make•a contest, `at once unnecessary and hopeless, with the judicial authority of the nation. We object to it. 'We will not obey JUdge Black when he commands us to assault the Stipreme Court' of the United States. We belier the court'to be right, and Judge'Black wrote." • • If, howeier, the learned 'Attorney General MIME shall not be turned from4ha,error of his ways by theseArorda,ift-wisdifilrom his own pen, I will make another effoitlo save him, by com- Mending,..to hilt:especial attention the following paragraph froth his : In f , rmer tunes a question of constitutional law once decided by the Supreme Court was regarded as settled by all, e,xcept that little band or ribald infidels who meet periodically at Boston 'to biamTherne the religion, and plot rebellion against the laws, of the countryl CAN THE LAWS OF ONE-COUNTRY OPERATE IN ANOTHER WITHOUT ITS CONSENT? Having shown that Judge Black's "axio manic-principle of public law" in - respect to the operation, of. the laws of ono State or country within the jurisdiction of another,- as defined and expounded by the highest judicial tribu nals in this country and Europe, has no appli cation to, and does nottinclude, slavery; -but that, on the contrary, state of slavery is deemed to be a mere tnunieipa/ regulation, founded 'upon and limited to'the, rant of the territorial laws and 'in the language of the Constitution itself, exists '"iiinne State UNDER THE LAWS THEREOF," and not by virtue ; of the Constitution of the United States, nor of any federal 'authority, 'hoe of any:foreign 'law, nor any international law, I will proceed to exam= inc how far Judge Black has accurately stated the "axiomatic principle of public law," or the law of the comity of nations, by which ."a right of.property, a private relation, condition, or status, lawfully existing in one State or country, is not changed by the mere removal of the parties to another country, unless the law of that other country be in direct conflict with it." I shall Pursue this inquiry out of respect for the great learning displayed by the Attorney General in his philanthropic purpose Of, en lightening me upon the subject, and not la 3 cause it has any hearing on the question at. issue, if the decision of the Supremo Court of the United States is to bo taken as conclusive evidence, in opposition to the opinion of Judge Black, US to the law of the case. Of course, express no opinion of my own, since I make it a rule to acquiesce in the decisions of the courts upon all legal questions. In order to have stated the general principle fairly and accu rately, Judge Black should have added that whenever the foreign law, or the law of one State is to be enforced in another, it derives its validity from the consent of the State or country where it is to be enforced, and not from the sovereignty of the State or country front which it came. The brief space allotted to this reply, already too long. tvill not permit me to cite. much less quote, the long list of authorities, .Americant English and Continental, upon this point. It may be safely assumed as an incontrovertable principle, that the laws of one country can have no force in any other country without its con scot, expressed or implied, and that such con sent will be implied, and the tacit adoption of the foreign laws, by the government of the country where they are to be enforced, will be presumed by the courts in all cases where there is no local law to the contrary, and the foreign law does not contravene its own policy.
