TUESDAY MORNING
THE TERRITORIAL POLICY OF OUR
GOVERNMENT.•
From the commencement of the exist
ence of this nation, slavery has been the
most difficult and dangerous subject which
has - disturbed the political councils of the
eountry:. : , ' , The fathers of the republic found
it existence; and in Tortning the Federal
Union of free, sovereign and independent
States, werecompelled to, omit its considera
tiotart forming the basis of the 'Union': We
do not say they feared to touch it, for they
w rA bold men, but when they declared that
"Admen were created equal," the fact that
slavery existed forbade that they should de
efaie that''they,were free: TheY left to fu
tiii4generatiOns the clisposition of this most
- difficult question..
the 'first, the territorial policy of
our,gozeranitenthas been greatly influenced
by,the):siaVery question. No subject has
elk:Red - amore general discussion, and at
the same time has been less thoroughly and
sAtisfactorilyunderstood. . During the last
seventy years; precedents, can be found fa
vorinvalinost every theory which can be
staged :;and ,more. than half it century of
discuission and re-discussion has filled to
arrive at a solution entirely acceptable to
thevarious sections" of the Union. Limited
only by the Constitution, Congress, for the
firstlhirty years of our existence, as a na
tiqh,eciatrolled the territories. In 1819-20,
MisSauri :Ought .to be admitted iuto the
Union as a sovereign .State, and, at this
t the previous policy of our government
was departed . from, and, in fact, abandoned.
Thelc,crtiiiitution of the applying State tol
erated Slavery,-and for this reason her ad
mission ".was objected to, and for a year she
was-ji,ept oat of the Union. Here for the
first time, anti:slaveryism made its mark in
the councils of the nation. Missouri was
finally -admitted, after a bitter contest, un
der a comproniise by.which it was provided
that-alavery should not thereafter exist
NOrtli of-the line of thirty-six degrees itml
thlitY:thitnites. But this celebrated corn
. prolnise; which it, was thought at the time,
would settle the slavery question and give
peace,. to the country, failed 4 its effect.
The;,politioal element which had been crea
tedin the .opposition to the admission of
lifissOtiri as - a slave State, afterwards op
.
iciigitoithe same reason, the admission of
Arkansas, Florida and Texas. They were
below the line of the compromise, but thtlr
admission into. the Union was as bitterly
opposedns though the compromise had not
existed... It was manifest that the Missouri
Compromise had by no means settled the
teiritOrialpolicy of the nation in regard to
slavery, and for another generation it was
"alike favored and denounced by both North
ern and Southern men, until the Legislature
of 1850 inaugurated a new policy. This
legislation was based upon the doctrine of
popular sovereignty. The bills organizing
the territories of Utah and New Mexico,
widely passed Congress at that time, provid
e4,l.oat the people of those Territories
shiitdd 'determine for themselves their own
instili4Mos, subject only to the Federal
CMOitntion: In'tSs4, the Missouri Com
promisewas repealed, and under this issue
thFs 4 Covvq.s-difficulties were got up to defeat
tlie s :Deinocracy in 1556, and upon it the
Denwracy triumphed.
Mr.- Douglas, as the chairman of the Com
mitteeonTerritories, originated and sustain
-4.-thisf trUly Democratic policy, It was op
pined without just reason by all the anti
, slaverrelentents of the North—elements
Whiehfrom the first have sought to initiate
a.direet,,and,.as Seward terms it, an -irre
-pressible conflict?' between the North and
...tlith;• - -edeMents, which, if not successfully
resisted by the National Democratic party of
the country will sooner or later destroy our
government and our boasted equal right to
8.11.- , The South could enjoy -not one mo-
ment'mecttpity for her institutions, with a
-.resident elected upon the Rochester plat
fctrßl azgression upon the territorial
Paley: country now comes entirely
,
fronithd - North. The South has at no time
ati.eitipteit ad'aggression upon the rights of
414,40n-Sliveholding States.
'Under the policy which was commenced
in 1850, , the, existence of. slavery in the ter
iitori&i was to he decided by the Federal
jtikary. In the Dred Scott case, the
Gantt decide(' "that powers over person and
property.are not only not granted to Con
gres-syhetexpressly denied" and "that this
prObibition is not confined to the States,but
the4Ordst'afe general and extend to the
ghple-territory over which the Constitution
evtssit7power to legislate."
a diversity of senti
mont exists between the Democracy of the
Nolth-and the South. The latter take the
ground that, the question of slavery in the
Territ,Ories is purely a :judicial one,and claims
that thequestion of the existence of slavery
cannot be determined by the Territorial
Government, until the adoption of a State

PHILADELPHIA FOLLY.
We cut the following from a Philadelphia
newspaper of a recent date :
An ineffectual effort was made at the Board
of Brokers to•dav, to place upon their books
the bonds of the Citizen's Passenger Railway.
of Pittsburgh. TN aggregate amount of the
bonds it is stated amounts to $50,000, and the
capital stock 5100,000. The Board refused
unanimously to do so, which we regard as a
befitting rebuke to the repudiators of Alle
gheny county, who have evidently lost iMsle
both in this city and elsewhere. An effort
was made to reconsider the vote on the part of
an apologist for the repudiators, but in signifi
cant phraseology, it was • nu go;" the Board
adhered to its previous decision in the matter,
and refused to permit these sedge ities emanating
from Pittsburgh, from being placed on their
books. This is a withering rebuke, and should
teach the dishonest corporation of Allegheny
county that they need expect no favor from
honestly disposed persons. The credit of l'itts
burgh and Allegheny county is surely at a low
ebb, when their securities both public and pri
vate are refused to be entered f o r negotiation
on the books of the Board. The le,son, we
hope,. will rather prove salutary than other
wise.
This is an admirable specimen of Phila
delphia WiSetlerei, , lll. We have two passen
ger railways finished, and one in rapid pro
gress.- All of these have been mill by Phil
adelphians. Messrs. Bullock k Co., of Phil
adelphia, have built. the Citizen's Passenger
Railway, and are now building the Pittsburgh
and Manchester Road. The Pittsburgh and
Birmingham Road has just been finished by
Mr. Eaton. These gentlemen are Ph ilade,l
- Their capital has built the mid
and they aro the holders of their bonds.--
The Citizen's Road, the one ahoy e referred
to, has issued but :7'i:l I of bonds, an
amount equal to about one third their eapital
stock. Of this only ..`. 4 21,000 Ina*. been dis
posed of by tlie company, and that is held
by Philadelphians, who have been thus
snubbed by the Board of Brokers of their
own oily. The City of Pittsburgh at td
County of Allegheny have about as mud)

The Philadelphia Board of P.rok
men that they are, refuse to place upon their

to the repatatir.; of Allegheny county. The
operation reminds us forcibly of the boy

A Personal Interview with Capt. Ilrowu'•
Thn. New York bidep,,idehl publiBhei nn
account or an interview of n ,orr,spondent
with Mrs. lirnwn, the wif Capt. Brown,
the convicted lcqder of the harp is Ferry
in
aurgcnis:
Mrs. Brown is tall, large and muscular, giv
ing the impression at first sight of a frame ca
pable of great strength and long endurance.
Her face is grave and thoughtful, wearing,
even in this hour of her trial, an expression of
soberness rather than of sadne,. She is a native
of Whitehall, near Lake Chawiain, and has
been the mother of thirteen cM4dren ; but,
notwithstanding the cares of her numerous
family, and her many privations and struggles,
independent of household burdens,she still ap
pears as fresh and hale us if she stere only
now in the prime and vigor of life. While
living in Ohio, four of her children died frym
dysentery, within eleven days, three of whom
were carried to the grave together on the sauna
day.
i referreVincidentally to the design upon
Harper's Ferry as having been premeditated
for two : yetits, to which she immediately re
plied, "Nalfor Iwoyea rs, but for twenty lie
had been waiting twenty years for some op
portunity to free the slaves ; we had all been
waiting with him the p.•oper time when ho
should put his resolve into . laodol3. ; and when,
at lust, the enterprise of Harper's Ferry was
planned, we were all equally confident. He
had nu idea, nor did any of ;the family, that
the experiment would result:in defeat. We
all looked to it as fulfilling the hopes of ninny
ye/m."
I then put the question which I had been
chiefly solicitous to ask It is the common
talk of the newspapers that Capt. Brown is
insane—mhat do you say. to that opinion ?"
"I never knew," she replied, " of hi s i nsan .
ity until I read ilia the newspapers. He is a
dear-headed man. I has always been, and
now is entirely in his right mind. He is al ways
cool, deliberate, and never over-hasty; but h..,
has always considered that his first impulses to
action were the best and the safest to be follow
ed. He has almost always acted upon his first
suggestions. No, lie is not insane. His reason
is clear.. His last act was the result, as all his
other acts have been, of his truest, and strongest
conseientiocs convictions."
A censustaker once called upon the mother
of a family in California, and asked her how
many children she had. The mother replied
that she really couldn't tell,• bid there was one
thing of which . she was certain, " that the
measles got among the children once, and there
wasn't enough of it to . go round.

Where the Bittle-rititht be Fought.
We must nominate a candidate who will
certainly carry the' united vote of the' South,
and who will possess great personal stength in
New rsey, Pennsylvania, and New York.
We believe that such a candidate can be se
lected, and if selected, he can be triumphantly
dee tad. Louisville Courier.
To this the Cincinnati Enquirer adds, that
the candidate selected at Charlestown must be
a roan who can carry Indiana, Illinois, Wis
consin and Ohio. It is in these States that the
Presidential battle of 1860 must bo deeided.
Pennsylvania is in a worse condition than any
other free State. The party is badly in the mi
nority, and is sorely divided by faction. N. •
reliance can be placed upon it or upon Now
York, where the Democratic ticket, which was
not voted for by Americans, is thirty thousand
behind the Republican nominations. In the
West, on the contrary, we have about 3,000 to
overcome in lowa, 1,000 in Wisconsin, and 13,
WM to overcome in Ohio. Indiana and Illinois
are Democratic certain, if Senator Douglas
is the nominee. He will also carry lowa,
Wisconsin and Ohio, which, with Oregon,
California and the South, would elect him
handsomely. There is no Eastern State that
will boar to count upon, except New Jersey.
No it is the Northwest which must be carried
in 1860, or the Democracy are beaten. Sena
tor Douglas is the man eminently for that
section of the country —Cliieago Times.
We object to this summary disposition of
Pennsylvania and , New Yark. The Empire
State is without doubt disgusted, with Seward
ism, and the Americans who hold the balance
of power will defeat him, and if they find it
necessary to do so we do not hesitate to say
that more than thirty thousand of them, who
perhaps have strayed from the Democratic
fold, will return in 1860 and vote for a Demo
cratic President, and would prefer Douglas to
any other man. Neither is the Democratic
cause hopeless in the Old Keystone State. No
important election has recently called out the
Democratic strength, and we shall never be
lieve that the State has deserted her ancient
political faith until a 'full vote and fair test"
perchance convince us againstour will. If in
1860 Pennsylvania prove not Democratic, with
Douglas as a leader, then we shall be compelled
to admit that the influence of men has been
greater among her people than the influence of
principles. That our party has been unfortu
nately somewhat divided we admit, but those
divisions are fast disappearing. That it is
'badly in a minority" remains yet to be prov
en,. We fully appreciate the Democratic
power of the great Northwest. But the Dem
ocratic neminee or the Charlestown convention
who carries Ohio, will also carry Pennsylva
nia and New York. If the Convention gives.
us Douglas, we'll prove the truth of this RJI

thronged with carriages snit foot passengers. Alt is life,

with two feet off the ground—hove are running—men
walking, riding.driving, carrying weights—ladies sweep-
Mg the dirty pavement with their long dresses. or trail
log up their crinoline and displaying their pretty ankles
as they trip over the croasinge, exactly es they do in Eu

Broadway than from a whole library of books of travels.
